Mattu's Tax Loss Picks

[Bird of Prey]

But how often does a potential client/investor really go into the CEO's home. Mabye I'm just that naive and have not ran a public company. But, I know I wouldn't particulary care for someone to come into my home, even if he is giving me money.

More often than you'd think, even at levels far below "big time" CEO's

You have to separate business and personal, when you are at that level.

That becomes increasingly more difficult the higher up the ladder one goes. It is one of the reasons so few can handle the pressures involved.

I'd think the majority of that type of stuff needs to be done at the office.

It almost always does begin at the office, but there is always the "post meeting" socializing. This can range from walking someone to their car in the parking lot, to taking them out to *dinner*, or inviting them to the "little party" that just happens to be going on that evening at the CEO's house.

Warren Buffett lives in a podunk house (comparatively) and drives an old Lincoln. I don't think he's done too shabby, eh?

There are always exceptions/shining examples of model behavior. WB is in a class by himself, From very early on he has been in the position of the one being "wooed", not doing the "wooing". His company is in essence a holding company. The situation is quite different from that of a CEO looking to cut a deal with some Japanese official so his company can build a new plant.
