I knew that World War II was coming and I was afraid that if I had shares which rise in case of war, I would wish for war. So I asked my agent to buy shares which go down in the event of war. This he did. I lost my money and saved my soul.

Whereas what I nearly always do is work directly to the sound if it doesn't sound right. So there's a continuous loop going on.
