0:00.0	The next time the market goes down, I'm going to have what I think is the best economic
0:03.3	genius of our time with the years of experience to tell me, oh, you got $30 million
0:08.2	day? This is what I would do with it.
0:11.5	This is the flavor. People that think they're stupid won't what? It's the biggest tragedy of all
0:16.3	them. They won't ask for help. Anybody asked me why I lost all my money because I didn't ask for
0:20.8	help. I made one bad assumption and just asked for help. All I had to do is ask for help.
0:26.2	I could have accelerated everything that I owned at that time just by asking people that I've
0:31.0	been there before, like I have now, right? I've been through four cycles of the economy at 51. I've

1:13.2	It's just a matter of me finding the number of where he's going to be or what he's going to do
1:16.8	and get in front of him, which I will do. But now, the next time the market goes down, I'm going to have
1:21.7	what I think is the best economic genius of our time with the years of experience to tell me,
1:26.4	oh, you got $30 million, Dave, this is what I would do with it. Okay, thank you.
1:32.3	Why should I guess? That guy seems to be a lot smarter about this kind of thing than I am.
1:37.6	He kind of studies it every day since he's been like 16. I think he's 86 or 90 now. I think he
