Scrap that - get serious!

I have also just seen the article by this CMuigai in the Business Daily http://www.businessdailyafrica..../0/-/yvkj34/-/index.html. This young man is tasked with coming up with opinion pieces with a business sheen, but how galling, the blatant attempt at sensationalism...

It's evident the writer has no appreciation of George Soros or Milton Friedman or Warren Buffett for that matter. How do you compare a self-described money-market trader to the one of the world's most reputed and successful investor?


I construe it as an insult to compare Warren Buffett to a money market trader...
Now, speculation - in which the focus is not on what an asset will produce but rather on what the next fellow will pay for it - is neither illegal, immoral nor un-American. But it is not a game in which Charlie and I wish to play. We bring nothing to the party, so why should we expect to take anything home? 2000AR

It is not as easy as you think to put your reputation out there like Aly Khan. You have to admit, Aly knows his stuff and a comparison with WB is not exactly far fetched.

Most wazuans can at best (no pun intended) commentate and analyze investments only with the anonymity that internet handles provide.

The writer could have a point, I suppose this is why he posed it as a question?

@babyelephant; I respect the man, abhor the analogy. But my bad, let's keep an open mind...
-Ester Wahome could be Kenya's Aretha Franklin
-and Kibaki definitely Kenya's Thomas Jefferson
-and Manu Chandaria closest to Kenya's Henry Ford
-and Usahidi has claimed the title of Kenya's Google Maps

To me he might be more on Paulson's end rather than WB. Remember hyping Egads when he was a shareholder during the land issue or safcom when it was at around 2.4. His plays are more of on the trading end.
