you know, if you're an architect and you're designing a building, you can put those plans down. You can walk away. And the design is exactly where it was when you left it two weeks ago. If you're a portfolio manager or a research analyst and you put your portfolio down, you go away for two weeks. You're two weeks behind. So I enjoyed the fact that it was, I'm a very competitive person. So I enjoyed the fact that you could quantify what you do and you can compare it to other people.

What did I say to Sir John? You know, it was interesting. When I first wrote to Sir John, he turned me down. So he'd never met me. And I wrote him back a year later and thanked him for sponsoring me. You know, I think part of asking me in was he wanted to see if I could pass the first level of the CFA, even though (9/57)
