Pegasus Funds. Then we said Pegasus is kind of a horse. We did not want to be the Unicorn Fund. So we pulled out a horse book.

I could buy an island. I could buy a private jet - but I have NetJets.

I think when it comes to decisions, I try not to be emotional. To drown out the noise and look at the important facts.
