In this episode (the first of two) Dave tells:
* How the highlight of his career is to have survived in the industry for 40+ years
* How it felt to be seen as an idiot for not loading up on tech stocks on the DotCom Bubble
* How he still tap-dances to work every day.
We also discussed:
* How the decision to turn down money had the effect of turning the gatekeepers against him
* How most people are not good investors because they don’t properly understand probability and time
* How investment people are prima donnas, and too many of them together is a recipe for chaos.
