I never thought I'd be caught.
And at the end of 2007, this woman called me.
She's like, oh my God, the SEC has contacted me about that Hilton trade.
As we said, it really sticks out if you're trading tech stocks.
I'm going to tell them I bought Hilton because Paris Hilton is in the news.
Now I know I'm dealing with an idiot.
So another expletive tirade for me.
But I thought, holy shit, if they're talking to her, I'm probably going to get that phone call.
Now, I better have a reason why I bought these stocks.
Let me go make up a reason now, months later, why I bought these stocks.
And I found random reasons.
Like there was a brokerage firm that said hotel stocks are cheap.
That's why I bought.
You know, I'm back.
There was an article.
And I had heard from other guys I knew that were chart inquiries from the SEC.
They're like, just call them back and say some shit about like there was an article in the Wall Street Journal.
They just want something from the file.
Yeah, exactly.
Yeah.
