Carlos Slim is rich because he’s a crook. He’s a terrible investor. Maybe he should have a talk with Sam Zell before investing in a paper.
Zell is living proof that even rich folk fall for sucker investments. Remember all the talk about the Trib and its "Crown Jewel," the LA Times? And now they're using the same language describing the NY Times.
All PT Barnum puffery. I'm sure the last person to buy stock in Amalgamated Buggy Whip, LTD was told the same thing.
