   I don't believe the shareholders committed fraud in purchasing shares, they are punished by the actions of criminals outside of their control. Yet is appears the criminals will go free. If you or I committed $100 Million plus in Medica

   1 out of 10 workers in India are unemployed. They simply do no have the options we have in the first world. If you are offered a call center job, you take it. A single success story does not invalidate the data, India has a massive poverty

   I think he means inflation adjusted. I feel the same way about any large public firm that beats Standard and Poors for decades. It seems suspicious.

    I'll get downvoted, but if I'm a father with no opportunity in rural India. This is exactly what I'd be doing. You might be a better man to allow your children starve in a pile of there own filth, but I'm not him.

    Exactly, the sports star/actor arugement is nonsensical. As far as I know the NFL is very profitable. Those players create tons of value.
