Don't discount that.

Don't be cynical about it.

Don't take it for granted.

It is really the most precious asset that you have are these connections that you have and just kind of the innate support that you can count on when you're going through a tough period for yourself.

Count on that and then try to be that person for others when they're going through the same kind of time.

It's easy to think that everybody was successful because you only think about the CEOs that end up being successful.

For everyone that you know, there's so many that didn't make it, that took that risk and it didn't pay off.

It just makes it all the more special when it works.

Dan?

Travis, I stuck with the Mag7.

I went with Alphabet, ticker GOOGL.

And many of the same arguments, broadly speaking, Alphabet has a big business, has a whole bunch of stuff.

For folks my age, you think of Google and the internet search engine as the big driver of ad revenue, of business generally.

But more recently, Alphabet has gotten into a whole bunch of different businesses as well.

A lot of people thought that they'd gotten themselves left out of the AI realm, and that made Alphabet, if any of those Mag7 stocks were value stocks, Alphabet was that value stock for a long time.

Maybe not so much anymore.

We've seen a big jump in just the past few months as people have realized that Google is not down for the count when it comes to AI.

Exactly, yeah.

Nvidia is down, Alphabet is up, who the heck knows?

That's the stock market that we live in these days.
