I show you 30 or 40%, no matter how big
or small your position is...

1:06:06
you´re gonna get excited
about my next idea, right?

1:06:09
- Yeah.
- You´d hand out my business cards.

1:06:12
Right? Do this:
Pick up a hundred shares.

1:06:16
It´s the absolute firm minimum.
If I show you...

1:06:19
three or four points on the trade,
it´s not gonna make you rich.

1:06:21
On the same token,
if the stock doesn´t go anywhere...

1:06:23
you´re not in front ofyour store
with a cup in your hand.

1:06:25
- No, that´s true.
- Look, the truth of the matter is...

1:06:29
I could sell you more
than 100 shares...

1:06:31
and feel completely
comfortable about the trade.

1:06:33
But l´m asking you to start small
just to prove what I can do for you.

1:06:40
All right.
Let´s try it.

1:06:42
Great. Should I send the confirmation
to your business or your home?

1:06:46
I need to talk to my wife.
1:06:48
No, you don´t need to do that.
I´ll call you right back.

1:06:50
- I´m goin´ to lunch in five minutes.
- I need to talk to her first.

1:06:53
- Harry, you´re at work, aren´t you?
- Yeah.

1:06:55
What do you do for a living?
1:06:57
I´m a purchasing manager
at a gourmet foods company.

1:07:00
- Does your job involve decisions?
- Of course.

1:07:03
When you´re making decisions, do you
call your wife and ask her what to do?

1:07:06
Of course not.
But that´s a little different.

1:07:08
How is that different?
lt´s your money. You earned it.

1:07:11
All you´re doing is investing it.
I´m not selling crack here.

1:07:14
She´s onlygonna be happy...
1:07:16
when she sees that you made
a wise investment for the family.

1:07:19
J ust think of the flip side.
When your wife does the shopping...

1:07:21
does she call you to find out if she can
use a coupon for Cap´n Crunch?

1:07:24
- Now, come on. That´s not being fair.
- No, lknow.

1:07:28
Look, Harry. I´m just trying
to make a point here.

1:07:32
Look, we´re not talking about
a lot of money here.

1:07:36
J ust think what she´ll say when you
bring home a big fat check...

1:07:41
becauseyou had the foresight
to see a good thing coming.

1:07:48
- All right. Let´s try it.
- Goodman, Harry.

1:07:51
You made a great decision,
all right?

1:07:53
Hold on a second.
Do it.

1:07:59
Hello?
