A huge part of real world business without outside equity is being in the right place at the right time. Cuban is exactly right about the differance between people who did business his way and people like Trump. My first business I opened with no outside help financially and did everything by hand, the company grew because I kept feeding it with the money it was making and from time to time money I had to back invest. You treat things totally differant when you are like that. Your skill will keep you alive till you position yourself for a lucky break. Donald on the other hand knows nothing about this, he makes his luck by bullying, talking loud and using his father as well as investor money. Cuban pegged him 100%

Warlock is 100% correct, Gates was a front man who got out of control. Someone was there and used him because at that time investors were throwing money at any pimple faced white kid who sneezed the word tech. He was in the middle of the bubble because a businessman put him there and Bill moved in the right mannor to capitalize on it the most when those who put him there were afraid of losing it all when it toppled. From there he took money and payed other people to show him what decisions to make and payed them handsomly for their help. The man had programing skills but he was "lucky" to be in the center of the bubble as it went up. There were many many Bill Gates out there they just did not have the right idea and the right people to position them. I just feel bad for all the people being mislead into thinking that bubble has not popped, hard lesson to be learned by these kids graduating with Comp Sci degrees.
