If you didn't read that off some script in the back of the camera then I do pay you my respect. Being German I can judge (c: Strangely, you don't sound at all like an American speaking German, but I sense some French accent every now and then... The comment with the H-J I wouldn't support, though (c; Mach weiter so! Congratulations on your German, Tim!

Santa is easily a better investor than Buffet. His holding company has made trillions with little or no overhead, besides elf food and hot chocolate. He does more in a day than Buffet and Munger do in a career. He's not afraid of global diversity. Buffet and Santa are tied when it comes to avoiding investment in technology, however. Beg to differ.

I am considering an online biz and want to avoid pitfalls where possible. So my questions is: Why is your biz not sellable? and thanks for being specific (love your work by the way, the book changed my life as a professional recruiter, which is commissioned sales. Chapters on Elimination and the Critical Few were worth the price of admission alone. I have told everyone I know about the book and even gave it as a gift to some.) Thanks man! Tim B. Tim,
