Alright, now, these are contradictory, okay, and it’s really difficult. Own it, don’t trade it… directly contradicts discipline trumps conviction. So you take a day like today, when NVIDIA’s down really badly, and yesterday, when NVIDIA was down really badly, discipline should say that you should sell some NVIDIA because there’s something wrong. But if you have conviction and you really believe in it, then you need to stand pat, and if it finally goes even lower, you need to buy some. You can make this kind of decision about one or two stocks. If you have a portfolio of things that you own, don’t trade, you’re going to lose a lot of money. We have picked NVIDIA, and we have picked Apple. Those have been our two favorites, and they’ve been right. Was it a painful day today? Yes, because we have an own it, don’t trade it philosophy, but it has made us money on those two. Anything else, we’re willing to sacrifice.
