- Look, I don't care how much stock you pick up. I just want you to test me out. I just want you to judge me on the percentages I show you. Obviously, I show you 30 or 40 percent, no matter how big or small your position is, you're gonna get pretty excited about my next idea right? [yeah] Of course you would! You'd be handing out my business cards, wouldn't you? [they laugh] right? Do this. Pick up a hundred shares, it's the absolute firm minimum alright? If I show you 3 or 4 points on the trade, it's not gonna make you rich, on the same token, if the stock doesn't go anywhere, you know you're not out in front of your store with a cup in your hand. [pause for agree] Look Harry, truth of the matter is, I could sell you a lot more than just a hundred shares and feel completely comfortable about the trade. But I'm asking you to start small, just to prove what I can do for you. [pause] [alright. Alright.] Great. So should I send the confirmation to your business or your home? [I need to talk to my wife] No, you don't need to do that Harry. And I'm going to lunch in 5 minutes. Harry, you're at work right now aren't you? So what do you do for a living? [I'm a purchasing manager at a gourmet foods company]. So does part of your job involve making decisions? [Of course] And so when you're making one of these decisions do you call your wife and ask her what she should do? [Of course not, but that's a little.. different.] That's different? How is that different? It's your money, you earned it. Besides, all your doing is investing it, I'm not selling crack here Harry! Yeah, I mean you know, she's only gonna be happy when she sees you made a wise investment for the FAMILY. Just think of the flipside, when your wife does the shopping, does she call you from the shop to find out if she can use the coupon for Kap'n Krunch? [Now... come on, let's not be unfair] I know, look, Harry, Harry, I'm just trying to make a point here. Look, look, we're not talking about a lot of money here. And just think what she's gonna say when you bring home a big fat check because you had the foresight to see a good thing coming. [pause] [Alright. Let's try it.] Good man Harry, you made a great decision, alright? Hold on a second. [Secretary]
