You can make money, you can lose money in Africa. But opportunities, boy oh boy, they exist.

Global capital is agnostic - it has no loyalties. There's an overhang of capital in the U.S., and the key is yield pickup. What Africa is providing is a diversification play and also opportunities for yield pickup for the investor that's aware of what he or she is doing.

As an investment banker, I'm in the cross-flow of information and the changes that are taking place in capital markets.

Oh God, you know I have no money, but you can make the people do for me, and you must make the people do for me.

If not one more cent in new aid money flowed [to Africa], we could with more urgency and efficiency and creativity be doing much more to take more people out of poverty.

Oh, it's not really gambling when you never lose.
