Congrats, Bob, on the nice big (unrealized) gain in your portfolio thanks to PIOE. And oh, we're all wishing we had bought a big chunk down at the 0.08 to 0.20 level in March-April of '17.

I was the one who mentioned "can't take a penny of it beyond the grave."

I once heard about this super-wealthy Irish-American who had been giving away most of his fortune for years (over 90% of it) in a completely anonymous way until finally some reporter outed him and everyone learned about him.

He had heard from his folks an old Irish saying: "Aye, there be no pockets in a funeral shroud." (I.e., can't take anything with you to the next life, only your soul's virtues and positive attitude.)

[UPDATE: just remembered his name: Chuck Feeney.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Feeney
Wiki: "Over the course of his life, Feeney has given away more than $8 billion. Feeney is known for his frugality, living in a rented apartment, not owning a car or a house, and flying economy-class."

Elsewhere, Feeney has been called "the exact reverse of Donald Trump."]
