I would never be the one to argue wealth = intelligence. In fact I never made that statement--you must have misinterpreted my remarks about Warren Buffet. There is textbook intelligence & practical intelligence. Buffet evidently has the latter or he would never have made such a fortune in stock market. My fine opinion of Buffett has nothing to do with his wealth, although his lifestyle seems to be admirable for someone who could have lavished more on mammoth home a la Bill Gates. For many yrs investors hung on Warren's every word...now that he has criticized foreign investments in U.S., outsourced jobs & danger of indebting the country to China, he is being ignored. Suddenly he's no longer an oracle. I believe he is still a wise man and those Americans who are investing in China&India are merely greedy. As Amazon responded when I recently cancelled 3 books "how can we serve you better?"--I took the opportunity to express my opinion of outsourcing & received reply from customer service rep named Naveen Rishiraj....RFLAO.
