![]() Quote:
A person is entitled to enter a business and attempt to make a profit. Personally, I don't think that means anything as it relates to whether or not is a "sportsman." I love this sport. I love this business. But I treat it like a business. Does that make me less of a "sportsman" -- I don't think so. If I didn't have the financial make-up I have, because I love this sport and business so much, I would own a horse, maybe 2. Because I could afford that. However, I will continue to own more -- because I can afford it and because I love it. It's not either or for someone like me, and exponentially for Jackson vis a vis his financial make-up. I can't speak to his passion, motive, sportsman-like feelings, etc., but I would think neither can most people. Eric |

![]() Chuck, billionaires "put capital at risk" for many reasons other than what people think they already know, and for reasons other than what others think they could understand. This is not a discussion that can be simplified to A+B=C. We can talk about it some time over a beer.
