Forty percent of my portfolio is in the U.S. In the rest of the world, most of the places I invest in or invested in are Brazil, Russia, Germany with a little bit of Turkey, China, India, France and Israel sprinkled in there.

I'm invested in about 13 private companies. I've advised probably another 50 private companies.

Personally, I have invested in around ten U.S. companies and will continue to do so. That doesn't give me a strong experience in the American market. But I have an understanding of the public.

I like multinational companies. They may have 40 to 60 percent of their engines of growth in the United States, but I do like the diversification of being more global.

A lot of companies are global.

I run businesses all around the United States, all around the globe.

I'm a stockholder. I own a lot of stocks.

I invested in many companies, and I'm happy this one worked. This is capitalism. You invest in stock, it goes up, it goes down. You know, if you don't like capitalism, you don't like making money with stock, move to Cuba or China.

Frankly, I don't know how many companies there are, globally, which are truly global.

I see the level of sophistication and knowledge about business growing dramatically. Several decades ago, only a few companies thought about international business.
