“We think that excellence in investing comes from focus.” — Kenneth C. Griffin Quote

We think that excellence in investing comes from focus.

Don't act like a bank unless you are a bank. That was a really big lesson learned from 2008.

It drives people nuts that I take them to McDonald's all the time.

It is only through raising expectations and striving for excellence that our children can reach their full potential.
