Wayne GretzkyHere's a quote from the Sage:

We are ready to act. If I get a call on Monday on a 10 billion deal and I like it, I'll say yes. We're interested as ever. We wrote a big check and issued shares in connection with Burlington.

The query is this quote is reminiscent of some other highly hubristic utterance before the fall, but I can't put the finger on what it was.

Pitt T. Maner III asks:

Was it the October 17th, 2008 op-ed?

'In waiting for the comfort of good news, they are ignoring Wayne Gretzky’s advice: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.”'…..

"I don’t like to opine on the stock market, and have no idea what the market will do in the short term. Nevertheless, I’ll follow the lead of a restaurant that opened in an empty bank building and then advertised: “Put your mouth where your money was.” Today my money and my mouth both say equities. "
