two or four, then african-american it again. so eight main branches. that book and the collective knowledge of the williams siblings is for sale. this one was definitely a hit. is this a cookie? while marijuana can t be taken out of colorado, that book, that knowledge can. so for the thousands of people who aspire to be in the marijuana business, that book is extremely valuable. so for the last year and a half, we ve been writing a book. a lot of you have helped write that book. the plan is to make medicine man technologies a public company. now get back to work! the family has decided to award each member of the staff with a piece of the company. brothers pete and andy personally hand out the stock certificates. nice cool breeze. feels good. i love this room. how are some of my favorite employees doing? eric, thank you very much. remember, it s doubled.
release our grief. receive help from others. remember what is important. and run to god. what matters most in life is relationships. i have been at death bed of thousands of people as a pastor. i have never had one person at the death bed say, bring me my trophies one more time i want to look at them. bring me my graduation certificate or stock certificates, they say bring me the people i love. we realize that what matters most are the people we love. i hope we learn it sooner. neil: rick warren purpose driven life. more after this.
certificates inside your pocket there? how are they doing in there? what s happening? yesterday, there s news that facebook debuts. raises questions on the ipo process. i don t know if you can legally speak. you work for morgan stanley. are you allowed to talk about this, harold? or can we just talk about how bad of a stock facebook is? i ll share with you on the show, i stand by it. this company stands by it. there will be other people who come on and talk about this. i m probably not the right person to do it. but i think a couple of months from now you ll look back and say that this was a good investment. this was a smart company. i trust this management team. good investment for what? i like it so much, i m wallpapering my office with facebook stock certificates. but willie and i have our own firm, brokerage firm, at 1-800-willie. call it up, and we ll give you advice. 1-800-willie.
ceremony. and in true facebook fashion, zuckerberg announced the nuptials as a status update on the social networking site. how old are we? that ceremony seemed to go much smoother than facebook s ipo on friday. there was a traffic overload at nasdaq. and the stock price gained just 23 kwents for the day. here s the thing. and i m not cynical, but a cynic would say he got married the day after his ipo flopped. stop it, he did not. so we were talking about that instead of the ipo flopping. anybody here follow that story? did you follow it? because richard haass, it was going so poorly for him that the banks morgan stanley. morgan stanley especially, they had to backstop this because it was going to lose money on its first day. so the bankers furiously had to start buying up all of this facebook stock. by the way, and you know where they put it? they got the stock certificates and they went back and put it right next to e-pets and e-toys.
believe is unfair, tilted towards the wealthiest. whether that s true or not, i happen to think it s more true than not. that needs to be addressed. and we have an entitlement program. entitlement programs that are spending way above what we re taking in. you look at some states balancing their budgets including new york and others. and people have belief and hope that the federal government can do the same. so i think there s some differences in the political tone, in the political tenor between now and november, and the u.s. will be different than what we ve seen. can i ask harold a personal question? i m wondering, that jacket, it looks really good, is that lined with facebook stock certificates? i wish it was. being a morgan stanley guy? you guys had to rush in at the last second, didn t you? the long term, this is a good play. you think it is? i agree with my friend jim cramer who was on meet the press, along with cory making the point you should sell. i disagree.
