So there was no way to trade on a story that I was publishing.
So I didn't have to worry about that.
The incentives are really, really different today.
And so you do have to be more careful about why somebody is saying something and what impact they're trying to have in the market and how that's being disclosed.
I have seen chart sellers be wrong about their thesis.
And I've seen chart sellers simply be wrong about the timing, which, you know, back to my point about Wirecard doesn't mean they're wrong.
But things don't always happen just because you have this great realization about the flaw in a company doesn't mean the market cares.
They may not care this year.
They may not care next year.
They may not care for five years.
So I think that's a question.
What I don't understand is the move today, and it was true back in the old days too, for people to say, this person is short, therefore they are biased, therefore I'm not going to listen to what they have to say.
It's a market.
Everybody's biased.
The person who's telling you to buy the stock is biased too.
Listen, decide for yourself.
That's a big question.
I worry a lot about the way capitalists are undermining capitalism itself.
I still am a big believer in capitalism, but I'm not a big believer in the way it's been practiced in the last decade.
Plus, you know, the financial crisis was a big moment in time because the rich and well-off got bailed out and the small and not so well-off did not.
