In 1987, when you started your first fund at 19 years of age, and you made an absolute killing because you were short the market going into Black Monday.
Should you be in that scenario now?
Do you think that there's something you could bet against in this market currently that you could recreate the magic of what happened in that year?
Hey, good luck.
Anything you think would give you a little bit of skill in achieving that good luck?
Can I just quickly ask, because we're almost out of time, a lot of folks have expressed paranoia and that a lot of risk from public markets has shifted into private markets.
Does that hit the list of your paranoia at all?
Hey, Roger, if I can just jump in, because I am someone who rides the Amtrak all the time, that northeast corridor.
I go from New York down to my home of where I grew up in D.C., where my family is very frequently.
And I
can say without a doubt that the experience on the Amtrak is way better than flying.
The issue is, is that very, very frequently riding on the Amtrak and not even the Acela is much more expensive.
The experience has gotten more expensive with the introduction of dynamic pricing that I myself over the past couple weekends have opted instead to fly because it's been significantly cheaper.
Where is the tipping point for you?
If your flight goes, that's a very important part.
A very important part to say, but okay.
What is the tipping point for you where you see you can no longer continue to raise prices because people will opt for a cheaper option, be it driving themselves or a plane?
Well, during the government shutdown, Roger, I'm sure this doesn't help.
President Trump said that he had terminated $16 billion in federal funding for a new tunnel on the Northeast Corridor.
Would you like to see more aid, more funding coming from this Trump administration, Roger?
