Reflection:LeBron's Respectable Decision

ESPN,a holding of Disney,was criticized for devoting an hour special to LeBron James' decision on where to play basketball for the next several years.Both LeBron's decision and ESPN's coverage,in the event,turned out to have a lot of integrity.It was refreshing to see that in the high-priced world of professional sports.The ESPN journalists stayed true to their own profession.They didn't shy away from LeBron.They were in his face with the tough questions,questions that knowledgeable fans were surely asking in their own minds.
As for LeBron James,he handled the whole process as well as any human being could be expected to.Everything he said made sense.By all appearances,he is a well-grounded gentleman,as well as a sports star.To keep his sanity through the media and business madness is the true mark of his character.Congratulations to him for that achievement.We need all the examples of sound behavior we can find in a culture racked by mental illness and extremes of every sort.And ESPN is also praiseworthy for keeping their heads above the dangerous water.
No child who watched the ESPN special went to bed the worse for it,and should have benefited from the reasoned judgement showed by all concerned.That is high praise indeed for contemporary television.
In Cleveland,the response was sharp,with vitriol being directed at LeBron for his mature,rational approach.Cleveland produced and retained a star player for seven years,but ultimately failed to make a championship team possible,as so many other cities have failed;but Cleveland will start over again on the project,not waste time castigating LeBron James for exercising his rights as an athlete and a person.

What Investors Should Do

If investors are buying into a business they understand,at a reasonable price,they should be buying now,suggested Warren Buffett,whom many have adopted as their guiding star.All the newspaper headlines in the world don't change that.They ought to look to the business as to whether to be confident or not-the kind of business they bought and what they paid for it.I wouldn't put my trust in a single individual such as Bernard Madoff.I would put my trust in a very good business,the friend of sports stars Alex Rodriguez and LeBron James advised.
