Well, it's a formula with a complex method. But, of course, research was a component. Massive research. I knew every helix of every scrap of DNA in every company I bought. Papers stacked like the Himalayas in my office, and you know what? - The stocks went up. - By a hair. Sure, the stocks rose, but who wants to do all that work for a shitty little uptake? It's not the visceral kind of spike you want in short term holdings so... ...I dispensed with all the hard statistics and I went right to the rumor mill. So you bought your stocks based on what? The tom-toms beating in the street? Sure. Share prices aren't really based on how a company works. It's about how mass psychology works. So, if I found certain algorithms in the perception of the stock... Pattern recognition. That's your snake oil. Well, not everybody understands the patterns. And that gave me a little bit more of an uptake, but it's just a parlor trick. So then, I went on to door number three. Are you really implying that you have some sort of ultimate formula? Well, from 12,000 to 2.3 million in ten days. - I do have a formula, Mr. Pierce. - Delusions of grandeur. I don't have delusions of grandeur, I have an actual recipe for grandeur.
