I think we have a lot of homework to do after this episode finding our philosophy and I've learned so much from talking with you today. It's a work in progress. So don't assume that one day you're going to wake up with complete clarity. Every day I wake up and I say, what can I learn today? And over time you will develop a philosophy which might be that you can't make money in the market. Don't view that as some kind of failure. But leave open that possibility that this is not what you should be doing with your spare time. We study billionaires and the financial markets every Saturday on TIP.
