I own almost 100 hotels in North America. Some of them are only in management, but some of them we have some small stakes in them.

No company should depend on one person no matter how that person is smart or genius, whether it's Apple or News Corp, or Citibank or any other company in the world.

The potential for Twitter is spectacular and great.

Some countries, like Saudi Arabia, where the population growth is very high, whereby you don't have the mortgage low yet. Still the demand outstrips supply by much.

Our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of Israelis while the world turns the other cheek.

Well, clearly Apple is a role model of the American innovation whereby it produced all these products - iPod, iPhone, iPad - that are really now dominating all the technology arena in the world.

The lesson is that, No. 1, this management has to be at the highest class possible. No. 2, they have to have a succession plan.
