He's telling you, I'm going to run this hot.

And so, you know, they keep hinting towards this.

So I would believe them.

So I do think that, you know, in the long term, it makes sense to have stocks.

But again, again,

Pricing may get all over the board.

So if you do it on the regular, you keep that dollar cost averaging.

You do something broad like the S&P 500 so you get that breadth of exposure.

That may be the way to play it and just have a diversified portfolio.

If you have the opportunity, if you work for a company and you have the opportunity to get equity, you believe in what you're doing and you can get some ownership in what you're doing, I think that's another great way to participate.

Everybody always wants the cash, but they don't want that ownership, that participation.

And given where we are in the financial cycle and also the fact that you get rich with assets

Try to get, if you can, try to negotiate yourself a piece of the company, some stock, some options.

A lot of companies are happy instead of paying you those dollars to give away a little bit of acclaim.

And I don't think enough people take advantage of that.

But that's another good thing if you believe in the company that you work for and have that opportunity.

So I have a free economic newsletter.

We talk about the things like we talked about today in layman's terms, plus a couple of funny things every time I send it out.

And that's at carolroth.com slash news.

And I am cross social media, but spend most of my time on, I still call it Twitter.
