Bloomberg TV interviewed the always candid Sam Zell earlier today. We still think he’s one of the smartest guys in the room, Tribune clinker purchase nothwithstanding:
On looking back at the purchase of the Tribune company:
DEIRDRE BOLTON (Bloomberg): Can we ask you if you regret this decision? Is this the worst business decision you ever made?
SAM ZELL: It’s certainly the most amount of money I’ve ever lost in a single deal. But the answer is -
BOLTON: So if you could turn back time….
ZELL: If you could. It’s like maybe I should have married somebody else.
