Many people may say that luck is important, but I think you create your own luck by working hard to ensure you don't miss opportunities.

We're all shareholders. These guys below me, they see the CEO taking it easy, it's their money.

When the opportunities come, we may not want to buy another nickel asset, but if something comes cheap enough, we're all about return on equity.

The trading side of the business means a lot of travel, being out of the office a lot of time.

I've said I will be CEO as long as my colleagues want me.

I observed a man sourcing candle wax from South America and selling it to Japan. I thought: 'That's unbelievable. Talking on the phone in his office, that man made money moving candle wax from one country to another.' It really interested me.
