 Omaha,
NE: Digging through garbage can sometimes pay
off. Tuck Profit investigative reporters routinely
search the dumpsters behind Tuck Hall, looking to learn
of Tuck's sordid secrets. Last week, we struck gold: a list of rejected questions
for the Investment Club's annual trip to visit Warren Buffett in Omaha.
Apparently the Club screened students' questions prior
to the visit, removing some of the racier items.
Shame on them. We agree that Tuck has a reputation
to uphold, but free speech should never be trampled on,
and certainly not to protect the richest man in the
world.
You be the judge. Here is a sampling of some of
the rejected questions:
- "Are you in the
mile-high club?"
- "Do you swim in
your money bin?”
- “Where do you put
the ATM’s in your house?”
- "I understand that
you were fishing buddies with Ted Williams.
After cutting your children out of your will, are
you worried they'll decapitate you and place
your head upside-down in a cryo-chamber?”
- "How much money do
you carry in your wallet? Can I have some?"
- "Are you an
android?"
- “Ken French says
your alpha is statistically insignificant.
Want me to kick his ass?"
- “When playing bridge
with Bill Gates, do you find it hilarious when he
ends up being the dummy?”
- “What’s the most
you’ve ever paid for sex?”
- "At TPG, we saw a
lot of mezz floating around with heavy kickers, and
I personally think a lot of folks in the market
could be surprised when interest rate hikes cause a
lot of 'healthy' companies to buckle under their
interest expense. Distressed investors are going to
see a lot of interesting plays in the next few
years. Thank you."
- “Based on the
performance of their erectile dysfunction drugs
Viagra, Levitra and Cialis, do you think Pfizer,
GlaxoSmithKline, Bayer or Eli Lilly is the best
investment?"
- “Didn’t the
Unabomber live around here?”
