So we're talking about a 60-40 portfolio here.
voice-verified
Let's say someone wants, they say, All right, I want 20% of my portfolio to be in alternative something, right?
voice-verified
The question is, where do you take it from?
voice-verified
So I actually have an example here from one of your presentations.
voice-verified
that kinda looks at this.
voice-verified
So John if you can throw this up there.
voice-verified
Um it looks at how, you know, some pe some people are doing, okay, it'll do a fifty, thirty, twenty, right?
voice-verified
You take ten from the bonds and ten from the stocks.
voice-verified
But you're saying actually if we can add 20% on exposure, you know, or you know, or more based on the leverage, then that's where that additional alternative can come from.
voice-verified
So this is this is a way to kind of not upset the Apple cart in terms of the traditional stock and bond mix.
voice-verified
This is a way to add on top of it, right?
voice-verified
And as you said, you have to just pick an alternative that you hope can outperform cash over the long term, and then it's additive to the portfolio.
voice-verified
Was that essentially the idea?
voice-verified
Yeah, my m my favorite quote I think William Bernstein had this.
voice-verified
He said that like an ounce of gold could buy a fine men's suit back in the time that Jesus walked the earth.
voice-verified
And it can still do that today.
voice-verified
Right.
voice-verified
And and so to that that point, you're right, it it held its value.
voice-verified
Right from a from a long-term perspective.
voice-verified
Um so I was gonna ask this is my next question.
