Here after watching the film Barbarians at the Gate. Impeccable insights into how wallstreet and high finance works. No drama. No cliche. Pure business.

'Barbarians At The Gate' the story of KKR's fight to control RJR Nabisco, is right up there with Liar's Poker as a business book classic.

While this is very useful information, I seem to have drifted from interests in stocks and wall street investment and delved into the cryptocurrency world. It was very rough in the beginning as yo had to be your own analyst broker and trader at the same time. Leading me to lose lots of investment until my research lead me to "Lance Bergel aka Cryptomint3r". I experience miracle after I meet him and followed his recommendations. My overall portfolio at some point went up 1250%. I invested $850 into most of Lance Bergel's recommendations and slept well at night. My biggest gain so far was when I invested around $12K into Lance recommendations and as of today they're worth over $239K. Lance, you have taken a was my financial worries over our situation and I am really really grateful. My daughter began her own asymmetrical investing with Lance Bergel and I suspect it will change her life for the better. I just cant wait. If you want to contact Lance Bergel, write to Cryptomint3r@gmailcom... thanks to Lance

He’s a walking definition of what’s wrong with American business (check out the friends he has…) The film ‘Barbarians at the Gate’ was required viewing as part of an ethics course I took at university. (Spoiler: He’s not the hero.)

Amazing documentary, Henry is a financial genius, thanks for sharing

The video somewhat glosses over the years in the early 'nineties when KKR was feeling the downdraft of irrational exuberance given in the RJR Nabisco projections from 1988. I doubt that I would want to buy this guy a beer were I to run into him somewhere.

I prefer the style of warren buffett over Henry Kravis, they do the same thing but just with in a different way, Buffett buys companies with cash and a little bit of debt, and never stripes the companies (except berkshire) whereas this guy takes huge about of debt to buy companies which is very very risky, that is the reason why his biggest deal became such a failure, Buffett creates and maintains jobs, Kravis destroys it. So to sum it up Buffett can be excellent host and Kravis a excellent parasite. And to see the difference one can look at their company's and personal net worth.

Then I would borrow more money to plant Christmas trees, white pine or fruit trees. We received agricultural tax abatements. Then we would build one or two modest homes on the road frontage. There was one time when I cut some huge white pine trees that I still remember!! I had a family to feed! Anyway the Maine Forest is doing great. The largest landowner is an Italian forest products company!! Go figure! And they let us peons use the wilderness!! Damn corporations!
