Nobody said anything about people having to be up to the minute business monsters right now. My soliloquy was about the business sense of a person to have the foresight and smarts to do things at the right moment.

Sure, if you pull something great and sell it off and make millions and retire...then you would have to get a lot of the rust off to jump back in the game. But guys like Trump and Buffet who stay in the game and work all the time now are still smart as hell and can kick ass. Elderly old guy who is retired? Maybe not so much.
If you are smart enough to make millions, you will never sell off and retire. You will find ways to making more millions, whatever job it may be, or business. Most people work to live, but I think most Millionaires live to work. It's fun and it's challenging.

I personally wouldn't know how to retire.
