We're just going to go right in.

All right.

So then safe to say, Rick, if you were a betting man, I would guess that there's nothing in terms of a prediction market on the Schwab platform in the next year or so, or maybe never?

Right.

Unlike something we talked about when we were at Schwab Impact with you in November, that you had just done a deal which would give investors access to private companies.

This was buying Forge Global.

So I get that's more of a priority for clients.

Hey, Rick, one thing we got to bring your attention to, it's just a headline that crossed the Bloomberg and we're seeing markets turn around and rally pretty substantially on it.

We see a straight move up on all of the major equity averages.

We're now up nearly 1.2 percent on the S&P and up almost 1.4 percent on the Nasdaq 100.

President Trump, who's in Davos and meeting with European leaders, says he

has said he won't impose a Greenland limited tariffs on February 1st.

But the headline that really, I think, got markets moving was that the president says he's got a framework for a future deal on Greenland with NATO.

And I guess I want to bring this into the conversation because I feel like when Tim and I and you were together at Chihuahua Impact in Denver,

It was pretty upbeat, I think, about the market environment and the outlook.

And there's been a lot that's happened here in 2026.

It feels like volatility is back.

I'm just curious, you know, have any of the assumptions about the White House and policy and changes changed in your view?

And I'm just curious what you make of something like this from the president that definitely has the markets moving to the upside.

Well, we certainly look forward to coming back to you throughout the year and checking in on it.
