In Russellfield, I got a hotel room
and tried to isolate myself.
:33:15
Wait, what do you mean "isolate"?
:33:17
I closed the windows,
I unplugged everything in the room...
:33:19
the telephone, TV, clock, radio, everything.
:33:21
I didn't want to take the chance
of running into someone I knew...
:33:24
or seeing something on the news
that might...
:33:26
If we're dealing with causality,
and I don't even know for sure.
:33:30
- I just...
- What?
:33:33
- Took myself out of the equation.
- Err on the side of caution.
:33:36
Yes.
:33:38
Then what did you do all day?
:33:43
- I just sat there. I had some books, but...
- What? Were you nervous?
:33:47
Yeah.
It's mind-numbing, all the second-guessing.
:33:55
"Evacipate. "
:34:01
At 3:30 p. m.,
I stopped by Williams Medical Supply.
:34:05
Picked up a Class E oxygen tank and mask.
:34:07
I called my mutual fund company and asked
which stock in their mid-cap fund...
:34:10
had the greatest percentage gain that day.
:34:12
The idea was just to get enough information
for one good trade.
:34:15
Can we just download chart data
and trade on each movement?
:34:18
But if we do that, I want to use the library
in Russellfield, use their computers.
:34:36
So, I got to the storage room at about 3:15
and cut off the power to the box.
:34:40
It cycled down to a tolerable level
at about 3:19.
:34:43
The trick is to get in
after it reaches a comfortable level...
:34:46
but before it shuts off completely.
There's a window there.
:34:50
So, does it hurt?
:34:53
Yeah, it does a little.
:34:55
It's not bad if you wait for the right time.
It's like a small static shock.
:34:58
- Once you're in, you're fine, though.
- What?
