Warren Buffett: a monkey is a better investor than Trump

A dart-throwing monkey is a better investor than Donald Trump.


Is Warren Buffett correct in stating that a monkey is a better investor than Trump? Buffett puts money on monkey to outperform Trump as an investor “A monkey throwing darts to pick stocks would have made a 150% profit during the decade-long run when Donald Trump’s namesake company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, lost 90 cents on the dollar, the billionaire Warren Buffett stated”





Buffett: “That was the only time Donald Trump went to the American people and said, ‘I’m a winner, invest in my company.’ … Over the next 10 years, the company loses money every year, every single year. He takes $44 million in compensation. If a monkey had thrown a dart at the stock page it would have made 150%. People who believe in [Trump] came away losing well over 90 cents on the dollar. They got back less than a dime.” 

Considering that Trump’s public company was formed in 1995, when the stock market was still on a tear, this seems to be a fair assessment. Even with the “dot com crash,” a random selection of stocks would have been a better investment. 





Buffett is perhaps too charitable. From 1995 to year’s end 2004, the S&P 500 did gain a 157% return. But if our brave monkey turned on dividend reinvestments and sported a return close to the S&P 500, then there would have been a 203% return (calculator). 





(Here’s another source on Trump’s company: As its stock collapsed, Trump’s firm gave him huge bonuses and paid for his jet.)

Bankrupt Millionaires

Being broke is not so bad
There is always a tomorrow.

Look out at this very interesting article by Michael Dunlop about entrepreneurial millionaires and billionaires who bankrupted on one or several occasions.  Keep in mind that the average entrepreneurial millionaire goes broke or nearly broke 3.2 times.  Don't forget that J.K. Rowling was on welfare while writing Harry Potter.  The rest is history.


Went Bankrupt, Now Worth Millions!

Went Bankrupt, Now Worth Millions!
Hello Everyone,
With this so called Recession, thousands of people are going bankrupt everyday and at the lowest point ever! Today’s list is to show you guys that although times are tough and you think you have lots everything and your to old to have another chance, well your wrong!
I was once told that you arn’t a true entrepreneur if you haven’t gone bankrupt at least once! Well Walt Disney shows us how its done, he was fired by a newspaper editor because “he lacked imagination and had no good ideas.” He went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland. In fact, the proposed park was rejected by the city of Anaheim on the grounds that it would only attract riffraff.
It is also noteable that I have included the founder of Penthouse and the blogger Perez Hilton both web entrepreneurs! The difference between them and the others on the list is that their money is new money, made in the last 10 years! If you would like to follow in their foot steps then check out my FREE 7 day eCourse to making money online!
