ABC is a Disney company. Steve Jobs, now that the merger of Pixar and Disney is completed is the single largest shareholder of Disney stock and, of course, still CEO of Apple.
ABC -v- iTunes? Me thinks there is more to this scenario, and it’ll be interesting to watch over time.

ABC – WOW

Before we shed too many tears for Buffet’s granddaughter and her middle-class life, lets take a moment to think about the indirect access she has to whatever she wants.
She’s already gotten the attention of television talking heads and politicos for no other reason than she’s related to Warren. Think about all the opportunities she could create for herself just by having direct access to a man with that much money and power.
If you were one degree seperated from the second most wealthy person in the world, would you create opportunities, or sob because it wasn’t just handed to you?
The answer to that is the difference between failure and success.

I was going to do an entire post on the Buffett daughter situation but it’s a little too political for this blog.
I think Buffet is right.
And it’s ironic that the same people who think that it’s wrong to give people welfare without work think it’s ok to pass on enough money to kids so they don’t have to work.
Entitlement is entitlement. I’m against it in any situation. (unless it’s my kid!)

Buffett did the right thing — free money ruins people. And he was smart to give the money to Gates… that man’s legacy will end up shiny. despite Microsoft.

Ok, didn’t think my rant would make it onto Chartreuse, but one thing I’ve learned is any publicity is good publicity.
Feel free to read the comments on that post, there is a continuing discussion about this. I kind of played devil’s advocate on that rant, just sick about people having billions.

Oh and charity is great. In any type of form. I just don’t like Bill Gates, that’s all.

I think Bill will b remembere more for his charity work than for Microsoft.

Point well taken, probably. Corporations try to reinvent themselves as they go along, to keep innovating in their fields.
Gates started the company up, how much real decisions he made until recently, is questionable. It’s like the corporation takes on a life of it’s own.

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Buffet did the right thing. The man is amazing. Not just for his investing skills, but for his conscience, will and character.

Buffett – legendary.
