I quote :
"Before he started his own gig, he consulted for lots of public company boards, where he learned that companies look entirely different from the inside.
His first rule of investing? "Do lots of homework, dig deep or seriously consider not playing. But digging deep only earns you into ignorance, more or less. Don't forget: You'll never know what's really going on. Dragons be thar but, alas, nobody draws them on the map for you."

Some people are extraordinary , as Kissinger puts it, they are leading by the example .
