TJ entices people to dig gold so he can bury it again in an expensive vault. I hire people to develop CDMA phragmented photon cyberphones. That includes lots of Indians and Chinese. <My CDMA cyberphones are worth more than your gold ingots. > You say: <I think you are wrong in this. > We all value things in different ways. That's why there's a buyer for every seller, at the same price. You obviously value Jay's efforts more than mine. I wonder how you quantify them. Mqurice

Long time no talk. SoT. ""He will do great charitable works. To the list of famous rich altruists, namely Buffett, Gates,Soros, people will add Jack."" I do see some Chinese still praise Mao Zedong's original intentions up to now. I do understand where you are coming from. (ggg) Like Maurice I do have my own opinion on Jay as well. Did you notice it yet? :-) Do not forget Maurcie's suggestion about Qualcomm as an investment advice. His advice is better than Jay's. Just try to be sure not all credits toward Jay only. You have to listen to other people beside that "general". There ia always another approach. I still try to balance the weight both Yiwu and Jay try to portrait about new China. :-)

Seeker of Truth what specific history makes you believe Jack will be counted among the following? To the list of famous rich altruists, namely Buffett, Gates,Soros, people will add Jack. Now I wish to understand the history of gates, soros, and buffet. Now the last time I checked Buffet only donated about 12 million dollars to charity - he has much more he could donate to starving dying africans - he does not - he has said when he dies he will leave money to charity - but people die while he waits to help - so how does this make him an altrustic person in that regard? I am confused. Where did you pick up this MEME that he was a great altruist given he gives such a tiny portion of his wealth to keep people from dying? I do not say this as a criticism - please do not take offense - I study the history of meme propogation amongst societies for certain interests. As to Gates, I understand Ted Turner had to SHAME him into donating some money to poor starving dying people - so it was not from internal feelings of good karma eh? At least he is giving money now - while I understand Buffet still does not :( From what I also understand, it was Jane Fonda who convinced Ted to be more altruistic and charitable and SHAME his rich counterparts. Further into the meme pathway I do not know how Fonda originated it. Soros I will have to leave to MOOMINOID - as I do not know enough about his charitable giving or why he started doing it but I would like to learn more.
