What's your answer for this? Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett, George Soros. I prefer Buffett.

lazywalt99 Being that I'm from Omaha, Nebraska, and Buffett is known as the "Oracle of Omaha", I'm a bit biased to Warren. He's built himself up from scratch using unorthodox investment strategies, and has consistently beat the odds. He truly is a genious.

lazywalt99 It's hard to name a beach as being the "best in the world" because they each have something unique to offer. Personally, I love Jaco Beach in Costa Rica, as well as the numerous beaches in Maldives.
