So there's just certain things that need to be shared and discussed.
But with respect to markets, actually what happened was
I was concerned about the country because I felt we needed to have basically a two-week pause.
This is March or February, I guess it was March of 2020, and I assumed we were going to just do a short-term shutdown, let the virus cool down as hospitals were kind of getting overwhelmed.
And the president hadn't done that yet.
I was kind of surprised by this.
And that was what inspired me to go on TV as a way to reach President Trump and say, look, we need to shut down the country just for two weeks.
And I said, look, you do this.
OK, the virus will blow over.
Stocks are at an incredibly cheap valuation.
If we handle this correctly, you can make a ton of money and we're buying.
You know, valuation is like a tether on the market.
Right.
When it gets too high, it's like this rubber band that's stretching.
And inevitably it bounces back, but it works the other way as well.
When stocks get too cheap, there's this, you know, the rubber bands actually pulling valuations up.
And so there are certain moments where it gets to that place.
And sometimes actually, if you call that out, it causes people to have kind of a psychological reset.
Stocks just got crazy cheap.
Just incredibly cheap.
