think about it. They will double their value AGAIN next year, and what could be a better investment for their 20 billion in cash.? A T-Bill???
I have just been advocating this with Teflon! However, I don't think Bill Gates's goal in life is double his net worth in Microsoft.
It's in our best interest, but not necessarily his. The guys working for him at the top want to head up new divisions, and have new things to do, IMO, so they will buy something new.
The expansion of their business in the Internet is where is should be, and they have the brain power to do it.
However, they have consistently missed on the Internet the last 5 years, IMO. They are playing "catchup" all the time.
I wish Gates would personally take about 20 Billion, and found "Ayn Rand University", but that ain't never going to happen!
It is astounding to watch these tech billionaires, who made their money though the use of reason, and operate daily on a "Modernist" Philosophy, (the use of reason), donate their bucks to Universities where the Philosophy is "Post Modernist", (the rejection of reason). |
