“You know what… this is a tough one. The stock is capturing too much enthusiasm, but I’ve got to tell you, it is one hell of a company. It is really, really great and I would not step away from it. Would I buy it up here? I don’t know, if it pulls back, I’m still a buyer… It’s that good a company.”
