Gyroscopic Investing

Was never a big fan of Microsoft or Bill Gates when he ran Microsoft but I have to say I think he's handling his retirement as the richest man in the world in as noble a way as I could imagine if I were to win a $150 billion dollar lottery prize. I like that he's not gone off on any political crusades, left or right, and just stays focused on pragmatic ways of making the world a better place.

I agree. There are many books arguing that countries don't benefit from aid, and I know what they're getting at.
However, this guy helped wipe out polio in India, which just recorded its third consecutive year without the disease. I can't think of a better way to spend all that Windows money.
