Oh, and btw, I don't recall Tom suggesting "buy" to that investor.
Fact is, about a year ago I was needling Tom pretty good about the lack of insider personal investment, including him. He finally, obviously, had had enough and said he took exception to my assumptions about his own personal finances and found it "offensive" for me to suggest he take a large personal stake in this company. He said he already had more shares than most retail investors, therefore he had skin in the game.
Obviously he does. But not really. Not like us anyway.
