So you have to understand that and take that into account.
And if you're believing the narrative and the hype and the huge story, you also have to understand the mechanism about how the company is going to get there.
And then I just watch, do things that the CEO says happen, happen.
Does reality follow the grand pronouncements in some sort of measurable way?
And I think that's really important too.
So for sure, executive departures are a big one.
If you see a company where nobody seems to want to stay and where there's constant turnover in the management ranks, that's a sign of it's a sign of a lack of stability for sure.
And possibly a sign that people are seeing things they don't like.
So I think that is a big one to understand.
I think it's also really important to listen to how a CEO talks.
And I always think about that wonderful line from Alice in Wonderland, and it's Humpty Dumpty.
And he says, just because a word means this doesn't mean anything.
I can make a word mean whatever I want it to mean.
And I'm paraphrasing, but there are CEOs who talk like that.
And so, and you can fall victim to it because you think, oh my goodness, this person just gave me this enormous amount of information buried in there somewhere.
It must be my answer, so I'm not going to ask again.
Or I just, you know, I'm overwhelmed, but it must be in there somewhere because somebody so smart just shuffled a lot of words at this answer.
And you have to really be able to decipher the language and say, is there an answer here?
Did this person actually answer the question or did they actually dodge the question?
It is a huge unknown.
