If I'm a commodity, it wouldn't be a wise idea to buy stock in me - although, in the long run, maybe I'm a slow growth investment.

I don't look at myself as a commodity, but I'm sure a lot of people have.

That's just the way this business works. You're a reliable commodity.

My philosophy is that you sell things for more than you bought them.

You only have one thing to sell in life, and that's yourself.

My dad used to sell a type of commodity contract. It was so complicated, he was certain his sales people didn't understand what they were selling.

I have an eccentric view on commodities not necessarily shared by my colleagues - or by almost anybody. And that is, we're running out of everything.

I can sell anything that I totally believe in, but I'm a horrible salesman of something I don't believe in.

People don't like to be sold, but they love to buy.

You can't allow other people to put a price on what you do, otherwise you don't consider what you do to have any value at all, and that's nonsense.
