I mean, I guess if you can use margin leverage, if you use five cents against your dollar, maybe you're okay.

But if you use 30, 40 cents, you start putting yourself in a risky position.

Maybe it's boring to you, but I don't think maybe volatility is exciting to people.

I like businesses where I know they're going to be here 10 years, 20 years, 30 years from now.

That's how you make a fortune over the long term.

I don't like this trend of one day options.

It's just gambling.

I mean, no one knows whether a stock is going to go up or down over the course of a day unless you're trading on inside information.

So it just seems like a crazy game.

I mean, I think there are always things to worry about.

Right.

So one thing to worry about is, you know, we've been spending more money than we've been taking in as a government, as a country.

Right.

So we've got a deficit and we've been financing that deficit by issuing pressure bonds.

And so we've got, whatever, 34 trillion or something like this of national debt.

And we have to issue that debt at a time when lots of other companies that used to be buying in their stock.

are now issuing a lot of debt and need more capital because of this massive AI infrastructure kind of boom.

So there's a huge demand for credit at a time when the government itself is also issuing more and more of its own bonds.

And the risk there is that all that supply needs to be absorbed by investors, and that can cause rates to go up.

So one risk to markets is rates going up.
