Now a lot of people when they’re lucky enough or smart enough to get a company that’s going up they then – they take their profits.

And you made the case in a book that you should actually hang in there with the really great stocks and you even got a call from Warren Buffett as a result.

In 1989 I’m at home, the phone rings and those weren’t my friends but one of my daughters, six-year-old Annie picked up and said, “there’s a Mr. Buffett online”. I said "that’s got be a joke."

I picked it up and this is Warren Buffett from Omaha, Nebraska. I read your book [inaudible], can I use your line? He said it all about seven seconds and I said that’s great, I’d love to do it, what’s the line?

He said I love this it’s been waiting to do this. When you sell your great companies and add to the losers it’s like watering the weeds and cutting the flowers. He said I want to put it in.

He said if you ever come to Nebraska you don’t call me, you’ll be [inaudible] all over Nebraska.

PETER LYNCH 00:51

Oh yeah, several times we play bridge together. We’ve had several meetings. Great guy.
