“I like Warren Buffet’s line, ‘Buy when people are selling and sell when people are buying.’” (06:09)
“When you’re a local investor and you’re able to look them in the eye, talk to them, communicate with them, there’s a greater interpersonal need for that. And affordability is where small investors can actually help the most and have been helping.” (33:12)

“One’s very profitable, non-regulated, lets the marketplace work, lets investment work, and lets people actually make their own decisions.

“Constituents drive legislation.” (38:04)
“Most people really are, especially at the local level, just trying to help to do something for their neighborhood.” (44:27)
