Garry Kasparov wrote a commentary about his retirement in the WSJ [whcih you need a subscription to read] but you can't really tell if it was a political campaigne advertisement [he's getting into Russian politics], a book promotion, a consulting teaser or a sincere announcement of his retirement from 30 years of professional Chess? It looks like it might be all of the above. That's too bad. I would like to have seen a brilliant guy like Kasparov retire more gracefully.
You just have to love Dr. John Malone. The guy's a certified genius but also a "what you see is what you get" straight-shooting kind of guy. His Ph.D. is from Johns Hopkins, BA is science from Yale, worth $2.3 billion (according to Forbes, but probably way low because they just couldn't find all of it). He ran TCI (America's largest Cable company) and sold it to ATT for $54 billion. He's the kind of person that you could just sit and listen to for hours. He's so logical, well informed and well spoken. In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal here's a few nuggets from what he had to say... (I agree with him about Obama) WSJ: What are the biggest risks for Liberty right now? Mr. Malone: I think the biggest concern I have for the next year or two would be on the retail side, because of the consumer sentiment and the macro conditions. The concerns really tend to be much more macro: Is America going to make it, rather than are we going to make it?...
