He has great foresight, something which I've yet to pick up. Hopefully I can eye a good opportunity. I don't need to have 56billions... 56 million will do the job... haha

well, he does sound like a very successful man. I wish I knew him in real life. Plus, it would be nice if he can share some of that money with me.
