"buffett" poems - Hello Poetry

"Gone to one’s Glory" so they say. Where exactly is it that, if we’re all headed that way? Let ’s ask around to see where and what people think Glory will be. It might be one place for you and another for me. Some people, view Glory as a place out beyond the blue, with pearly gates. They imagine it will be like walking into a magical, nirvana escape. "I am a restricted diabetic who must pass up the desserts that I like. Glory for me would be a place like Food Network where I can indulge and delight, and never worry about an insulin spike" "As an athlete who loves to train my body to the highest level of fitness Glory for me would be a place of perpetual summer Olympics." "I am an obese lady with a hundred pounds to lose. Glory for me would be a place that receives all, even those as big as a caboose." "As an amputee who lives with stumps Glory for me would be a place where you get new legs, to run like Forrest Gump." Winfrey, Bezos, Buffett, and Gates? Have you discovered Glory here on earth? "For me, an astronaut, who loves to travel in outer space I would find Glory to be a place to encounter those outside of the human race." Glory might not be as far away as some make it seem; we may be shocked! Glory may be another town, another neighborhood or just around the block. When ones we love go to their glory we moan and we grieve But what if we’ve got it all wrong like most other things we believe? Going to one’s Glory might just mean going on to achieving one's highest dreams The ancestors described what they thought glory would be Using their highest imaginations and creativity. For us It may be imperative and the right time to change that old narrative Glory might be one place for you and another place for me In the meantime, in this life, let’s stay present, and be all that we can be.

*I took off for a weekend last month Just to try and recall the whole year All of the faces, and all of the places Wonderin' where they all disappeared I didn't ponder the question too long I was hungry and went out for a bite Ran into a chum with a bottle of *** And we wound up drinkin' all night It's those changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of our running, and all of our cunning If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane Reading departure signs in some big airport Reminds me of the places I've been Visions of good times that brought so much pleasure Makes me want to go back again If it suddenly ended tomorrow I could somehow adjust to the fall Good times, and riches, and son-of-a-bitches I've seen more than I can recall These changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same Through all of the islands and all of the highlands If we couldn't laugh we would all go insane I think about Paris when I'm high on red wine I wish I could jump on a plane So many nights I just dream of the ocean God, I wish I was sailing again Oh yesterday's over my shoulder So I can't look back for too long there's just too much to see waiting in front of me And I know that I just can't go wrong With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes Nothing remains quite the same With all of my running, and all of my cunning If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane If we weren't all crazy we would go insane* ****************************************************************

I want to see ol’ Warren’s face When I claim the Billion prize. When my perfect bracket takes the cash, Buffett’s sure to be surprised. The odds were set against me much higher than surmised. Like making sixty free throws in only fifty tries. I’d have a better chance, They said, to date a super model. The sort of girl I never get And google just to ogle. I bet with Buffet’s cash on hand I’ll attract their sighs, Kate and Emmy will cat fight to be first in my eyes.

Billion Dollar Bracket

I want to see ol’ Warren’s face When I claim the Billion prize. When my perfect bracket takes the cash, Buffett’s sure to be surprised. The odds were set against me much higher than surmised. Like making sixty free throws in only fifty tries. I’d have a better chance, They said, to date a super model. The sort of girl I never get And google just to ogle. I bet with Buffet’s cash on hand I’ll attract their sighs, Kate and Emmy will cat fight to be first in my eyes.

Investors need to stop treating stocks as a ‘beauty contest’ and follow the difficult investment style of Keynes, global pension expert Keith Ambachtsheer said. Data produced in a working paper from the Harvard Business Schoolshowed that portfolios built on firms with a good material sustainability rating outperformed those that had a poor rating, an aspect not considered enough by investors who were caught up with quarterly returns, Ambachtsheer said at a Chartered Financial Analyst seminar in Sydney on Monday. “What I see happening out there is largely speculation – what Keynes called ‘beauty contest investing’, where everybody tries to figure out what the most popular stocks are going to be in six months, buys them and when they become really popular sells them,” Ambachtsheer said. He added the implications of this investment style as an aggregate was a zero sum game, whereas investing should be taking savings and turning them into wealth producing capital. “The key thing is you need to look beyond the next quarter; you look at the long-term sustainability of the business model of the corporation, as well as the people behind it in terms of how it is being managed.” The Harvard Business School (HBS) working paper superimposed the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board materiality map (which identifies likely material sustainability issues on an industry-by-industry basis) onto 400 common US stocks identified through sustainability metrics from Kinder, Lydenberg, Domini Research & Analytics. They examined what effect materiality would have over the long-term (starting from the 1980s) and found the top 10 per cent of firms that scored strongly on material sustainability outperformed the bottom 10 per cent, by nine per cent over a rolling twenty-year period. “The practical question is, can you actually manage money this way in the real world? And the answer is yes, but it’s very hard, because you are doing unconventional things,” Ambachtsheer said. Real-world Keynesianism investors – such as Warren Buffett and the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan – are in a minority despite outperforming over the long-term. In chapter 12 of his seminal workThe General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money, Keynes explained the reason for this was the essence of long-term investors meant their behaviour would be eccentric, unconventional and rash in the eyes of average opinion. “Most organisations can’t function like this,” Ambachtsheer said, as they were too focused on the present.Read more at:www.marieaustralia.com/vintage-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/backless-formal-dresses

Lived my whole life near water or mountains and lemme tell ya, there's nothin like wakin up next to something beautiful. I spent all of this weekend drinkin, partyin and just havin an all around great time with people I love. This past month, man oh man, did I seriously have to revisit some things that I thought I needed to stay the hell away from, but whoh how wrong I was. Jimmy Buffett songs and Brand New shows, takin life as it comes and givin up everything for a chance at love. I can write about God and morality and whatnot but if I really dig deep down, what really matters to me are the quiet moments. Those seemingly insignificant memories, such as teaching my very young cousin #3 how to fold toilet paper, so that his *** didn't itch, evidently his dad couldn't teach him that. Am I still a boy? Hell yes I am, and hopefully always will be, never giving up that magic, that wondrous sense of possibility. Is it a bad thing, that in moments of forgetfulness I greet my grandmother as Wendy Lady and she replies, "Hello Boy."? Do I still watch the Goonies with rapture and bliss and yell "Hey you guys!!!" And yet I have walked through fire and death, seen darkness in all his guises, lived and ate and breathed horror as only Conrad can recount. I can cook, and clean, and provide for myself; having lived off and on alone for years so dare you not think me a child, but my god I'll never give up that sense of life, that belief and hope that any and every day may yet be and adventure worth the telling.

(It’s that vernal, infernal, tax season. How about a tax avoidance vignette? It’s poetic—in it’s own way) Some students at a table near us in the dining hall were discussing America’s financial inequities. One guy was saying that we ought to “tax the crap” out of billionaires and their billions—and there was agreement all around—the consensus was downright mob-like. I had to chuckle though, because these guys have no idea how wealth is managed in the world today. I bet, for instance, they think Musk has 200 billion dollars in his basement somewhere, but no, Musk’s 200 billion is his ‘net worth,’ the theoretical value of his stock portfolio (or his unrealized assets). Just between us chickens, I’m related to a few ‘filthy rich’ people, (no, NOT my parents) and I’ve met many others and I can assure you, dear reader, that the ‘filthy rich’ have nothing you can tax. Now, I’m not a finance major. Everything I know, I learned from my Grandmère and my parents who thought a girl ought to know about money. So anyway, just for fun, here’s a quick (I’m condensing and simplifying), lesson on how taxation and wealth work in 2025. The wealth of the rich lies in their assets—the value of companies they own or stocks they’ve invested in. Those “paper assets” can only be taxed when they’re sold—or, in tax terms, when their intrinsic value is “realized.” Now instead of selling off (taxable) assets to live, the superrich use those assets as collateral for “securities backed loans” which are nontaxable. Elon Musk, for instance, takes no salary. He uses his ($94 billion) Tesla stock as collateral for loans he uses to fund his lavish lifestyle and provide ready cash as needed. Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Ellison, Warren Buffett and Jeff Bezos—to name a few billionaires we all know of, take little or no salary—their compensation comes in the form of untaxable stock options they can leverage. If you think this can’t go on forever, you’re wrong. Even when these billionaires die, the value of assets gained during their lifetimes are immune to taxation. At that point, some assets can be sold by heirs to pay off the outstanding loans, again, without worrying about taxes. TA DAAAA. Now you know how the rich do it. How they avoid taxes in both life and death, and manage to leave massive fortunes to their heirs. . . Songs for this: Done Changed My Way of Living by Taj Mahal Run On by Elvis Presley
