Old Turkey's advice to Livermore:
“My dear boy, if I sold that stock now I’d lose my position; and then where would I be? … When you are as old as I am and you’ve been through as many booms and panics as I have, you’ll know that to lose your position is something nobody can afford — not even John D. Rockefeller.
I hope the stock reacts [as you expect] and that you will be able to repurchase your line at a substantial concession, sir. But I myself can only trade in accordance with the experience of many years. I paid a high price for [my experience] and I don’t feel like throwing away a second tuition fee … It’s a bull market, you know.”
