Very true. That lesson had to be learned the hard way. I would have made the same mistake. A great thing to remember about Jerry is, he demonstrates great tenacity and dedication to his efforts. That's not enough on it's own, huge amounts of it aren't enough to get rich selling ice cubes to Eskimos. However, once you have the perfect recipe at the perfect time, that tenacity and dedication will get you to the top. He's fallen off the horse but gets right back on every time. When he says thing like: "The ASD show in Las Vegas, which concludes today, has been a huge success with many new retail accounts that are coming aboard. We have also signed several new significant regional distribution deals which will be announced after they receive their initial stocking orders." I have every reason to believe him, and you're right, he's clearly not putting that cart in front anymore.
He's putting more horses in front of the cart though!
