The first time I ever bought a stock
Ever, ever.
I was 18 and I called my dad's broker.
And his name was Jerry.
And he was at Merrill Lynch in like Huntington, Long Island.
And just mocking me the entire time.
Like, oh yeah, you want to buy?
What do you want to buy?
Like...
And I don't even blame him.
Like, looking back in hindsight, I don't blame him.
I totally get it.
It's like, oh, I got to take this call on my f***ing client's son.
Hang on.
Hang on a sec, guys.
I can almost picture the golf putter in his hand as, you know, the cordless phone in between his chin and his shoulder.
So I, for whatever reason, I gave him some ticker symbol of some stupid oil stock somebody told me to buy.
The whole experience was so humiliating.
And I knew it at the time.
I was old enough to know that I was being mocked, right?
