Hank and Bono, thank you for an interesting conversation. Hank is in charge of Paulson Institute. Bono is in charge of U2. If one person would be in charge of our planet, majority of humankind's problems would be solved immediately. Hank, thank you for doing this job in part. Bono, I would love, that Hank would start to take more responsibilities.
I would buy one BLK share from Larry for 525. I would buy one GS share from David for 280. I would buy 100 shares from BIRG.IR for 5.55. I would buy GOTU 10 000 shares from Larry Xiangdong Chen for 69 cents.
Gentlemen, we are brilliant, noble and strong together.
