“Look, I think, now this is a really tricky one because my rules say that even if I like that stock, and I gotta tell you, I think that Mr. Hemsley is fantastic, even if I like that stock, if there is a Justice Department inquiry, if there are problems with the government, I have to take a pass. Because more often than not, I’ve been hurt when I speculate.”
