Donald Trump gave all of us the opportunity to invest in his brains, acumen and experience back in 1995.  Had you invested 25 grand in TRMP, you'd have been given $2500 in 2005.

 

Warren Buffett gave all of us the opportunity to invest in HIS brains, acumen, and experience back in the 1960s.  Had you invested 25 grand in BRK.A instead of TRMP in 1995, you would have had 90 grand in 2005 as Trump was declaring bankruptcy.  That same investment is now trading at $220,000.

 

Buffett is a hero because he brought many of us along with him through his publicly traded stock, and just keeps on delivering.  If you want a piece of his leadership, it's readily available.  He's also a level-headed, brilliant man with ideas that could fix the economy, but he knows that it would never get through Congress - he's said as much.

 

As for the Clinton paragraph, I really don't believe that the Clintons are skimming from their foundation.  I don't know that much about it, except to say that the Clinton Global Initiative seems to be better regarded internationally than the American Red Cross.  I've heard enough garbage about members of both parties, that I always view unverified claims with a healthy dose of skepticism.

 

So between Buffett and Trump, I choose Buffett.  Come to think of it, maybe I should buy some of his stock...
