Remember when Warren used to kick everyone's ass?
He should stay out of politics, where he is mentally challenged, and get back into investing.
At only 78, he still has a good 23 years of serious investing to do. Why 101? Well, that's the life span of his close friend and idol, Phil Carret. Phil was active pass 100 and Warren may out live us all. |
