And so if I were to tell you or anyone as a client, hey, we're going to buy crypto.
We're going to buy Bitcoin today at fifty nine thousand dollars.
Let's just say that we're not done with the crypto winter yet.
And it goes to forty thousand dollars.
And you, Ryan, call me up and you say, Jimmy.
Why on earth did you buy it at $59,000?
You do not want your advisor to lick his finger and stick it in the wind and say, that's what I was doing.
I thought 59,000 was good and I turned out to be wrong.
You want to have some sort of framework, which in equity investing or fixed income investing, you can look at a company, you can look at a balance sheet, you can look at cash flows.
You know this.
You ran a business and you successfully grew it and sold it.
You know, there are metrics, key performance indicators that you can look at that are absent
in crypto.
I will be the first to admit that gold kind of has some problems valuing it as well.
But I do want to have some hedge in the portfolio.
That's why we have that.
Now, let's go a little bit more into the real speculative stuff that you were alluding to, where people max out on credit card debt, which usually is
well over 10% in the interest rate.
In some cases, it can be 20, 25%.
So if you're doing that, you're saying, well, I think the investments that I'm making and financing with credit card debt can do better than that, to which I say maybe.
