## Resource

Workout in! Leg day truncated by a tweak in the back. Did get a run in Hey, Steve, did you buy SpaceX?! NO! Why not?! Stupid buying GOLD! Warren Buffett and the circle of competence… WTF does that even mean?!? I don’t know SpaceX so I shouldn’t buy? But who am I to disagree with a billionaire who got stock investing right? And I don’t mean Mr. Buffett, but Mr. Mohnish Pabrai on the Cody Sanchez Podcast. -Buffett’s Dad was a stock broker and then a US Congressman = money -The pinball machine = made up a name to sound important (the barber’s could’ve taken the money. What were they thinking?! Who do you criticize, Buffett for lying or the barbers for not be more savvy?) -The golf balls = Buffett didn’t want to do hard work. Welp, I think most would agree that the most recent generations don’t want to either! -So where does this leave Buffett’s stance on investing? What about Pabrai? -Why haven’t I been able to do the same in the Chinese market? Why did I miss the big opportunities in the Canadian market?

How much money do you have to spend?! Looking to get a new sports watch. Can I get a discount? Only if you have a Beijing ID card. Don’t I have one after TWELVE YEARS of living here?! Nope.
