It's an incredible time in certain sectors of the markets.
You may be witnessing something that we've never seen before.
I have to say.
And that could turn out really good or really bad.
We're all going to find out together.
We have a fan-favorite returning champion with us today, Mr. Jan Van Eck.

99.9.
99.9.
With me, as always, my co-host, Michael Batnick.
Yeah, hi.
My name is downtown Josh Brown.
First-time listeners, last-time listeners, we appreciate you.
Jan is the president and CEO of VanEck, a global investment management firm he has led since 2010, having joined the family-founded firm in 1991.
VanEck currently manages $199 billion as of 3-31, including the legendary SMH ETF, which has annualized at 29% a year since inception in 2011.
