Good to be with you guys.

Thanks for having me.

Yeah.

So there's, there's so much we could unpack.

I mean, that's such a broad question.

Like, what do we make of what's going on right now?

Well, my goodness, like we don't have enough time to go over all that, but I think the way, go ahead, go ahead.

No, please.

One year ago, we had tariffs, remember?

I mean, literally today is April 9th.

This was the day that Trump backed off of Liberation Day and the market was up almost 10%.

So, you know, I mean, this...

it wasn't that long ago that we experienced this kind of volatility and volatility is just part of the journey when you invest in stocks.

Sometimes it's more volatile, other times it's less volatile, but

bouncing around and having a bit of a bumpy ride is what one should expect.

So look, volatility is, we like to say that it's the toll, it's the cost, it's the price that investors have to pay to get premium returns over bonds and cash.

And so it's why we get paid more in stocks.

But to answer your question about the volatility we're experiencing so far this year, I think

You know, we can sum that up pretty cleanly in the war, right?

I mean, I think stocks were largely behaving themselves up until the end of February.
