I had a beautiful girlfriend. And life was good,
and I figured, "This is the easiest

said, "You know, "Carl, you're a smart guy. "You're gonna lose every penny
you got there. Learn to be an investor,
not what you do." He says, "You're
just one of the fools." I said, "Come on, Jack,
move over," you know,
we're laughing. And I learned a great lesson.
