If I'm hitting every single pick, I'm confident I can hit the easy ones.Jordannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3953654.post-83182585306938662752014-03-21T20:09:03.945-04:002014-03-21T20:09:03.945-04:00Buffett has already said he'd buy you out at $...Buffett has already said he'd buy you out at $100M, and I'd certainly take that offer.

I'd find someone else(s) willing to buy/invest in my share. Once there's someone in the equation for whom a 1/8 chance at $125M would be worth more than $25M, I no longer need to accept $25M. Or as such someone else(s) are wont to say: I win to that.sconstantnoreply@blogger.com
