If your plan is to make a lot of money, you only need to get rich once.

No disrespect to Mr. Buffet - I hold him in the highest regard in terms of character. However, his goal is to make a lot of money and have his companies achieve this as well. He does an amazing job at this.

My slow/inarticulate point is that Lund seems to have separate goals so you can't hold him to this same standard. It isn't foolish for Lund to lose all his money with a risky venture. From my perspective, Lund wants to grow companies and create the next big thing. I commend him for going after that 100% regardless of the risks involved.

edit: OK, watching that video showed Buffets point a little differently. He was meaning never risk more than you can afford to lose regardless of the return, which is true.




And the next big thing is a free newspaper delivered at home? It's not even original
