Missing Out On $5 Million

when it got— even if Jason said like, why didn't you tell me to buy in June? I was like, okay, I tell you to buy it in June, and then if it went up— it went up $2,000, you would have sold. Yeah, there's no way you would have held on to it for this long where— and you would have sold at the exact right moment where you would have made $4 million. That's how I look at it. But that, that is— it's crazy to think about that it's gone up that much. And it's crazy that like, I don't play the stock game at all because The second I put in $1 million into stock, like, that's all— that's all I was thinking about. My mind was consumed with the thought of this stock. Like, I would check it literally every, every 2 minutes. I would be checking the stock, which is ridiculous. I have investments, but nothing as like aggressive as $1 million on Tesla. But yeah, but it's crazy that that's like some people's life. Like, it's their lives. Like, they live by that. Like, how the stocks are doing. It's an interesting game.

Oh, I know. But the interesting thing that you said was, um, I said to David, I go, well, why didn't you tell us all to buy it? You know, like even put in like $25,000 or put in a small amount. And you made a really good point, which was, when it, when it got…
