I loved it!  Interesting how this old timer rotates in and out of his favorite stocks every so often as they go up or down.  Yes, he  buys low and sells high.

Great article, Sanj,  What is even more incredible is he started his present firm in 1978 when he was 73 - most are retired by then.

He's still going!  Right on.  8)
