Would he be willing to do this?
And at the time, he wasn't grabbing.
And then eventually he called in and was willing to do it for his own reasons.
And he thought it was a good investment to make.
He wasn't doing it because he was trying to...
you know, help us, although it had the effect of helping us, but he was trying to help his own shareholders.
And, you know, he saw in us what I saw in us, which was a good investment that was being beaten down by, you know, circumstances that would reverse.
And I think he wanted to make an investment before it got better.
It was preferred stock.
It's something between a loan and a stock.
Well, it helped the fact that, yes, that was actually the flow of the conversation, but he's a pretty rigorous guy and he knows that we're pretty rigorous people.
And at one point he said, you know, and I said, you know, I would feel better telling you all the things, you know, before you make this investment, I would feel better telling you all the things I'm worried about.
And he said, you know, Lloyd, I know you well enough to know that you worry enough for the both of us.
And then I pushed a little bit and he said, look, Berkshire, $5 billion.
It's not even, you know, again, Berkshire is an insurance company.
And so in their real business, Berkshire insures, among other things, property.
He said, look, $5 billion, if it all goes bad, that's not even a bad hurricane on the East Coast.
So put me in my place.
So in other words, $5 billion wasn't a big number to him.
That was a joke, and I took it that way.
