I

see that.

Sorry, everybody.

I'm actually sat in my bed with my laptop.

It perhaps doesn't look very professional, but I just finished trading the US markets.

I don't know about you, but whenever I trade...

I trade with such intensity.

really, really

Any thoughts on it?

Yeah, I do.

And first of all, uh, thank you for the invitation, and also thank you for the invitation of, of bringing me back to Los Angeles and, and congratulations on your book.

That's a, that's a huge, huge milestone in your life.

It's, uh, something you're gonna look back upon and with a sense of pride, but perhaps also with a sense of, "Oh damn, I have to...

I don't know if it's something you're gonna edit out, but when I heard that story, it, it told me a lot about who you were as a person, and I really admired [laughs] that because it was the craziest thing I think I've ever heard in the context of analysis of a stock.

... wild one

... crazy story.

You know, you remind me of these two investigative reporters, uh, from the Washington Post, was it, uh, Wood- Woodward and, and Bernstein? You know, the, the ones that uncovered the Watergate scandal, you know?
