So I was a dyed in the wool, conservative, fixed income guy.
But I realized at an early age that you can make more money over the long run in equities.
And I'm very comfortable being 100% equities.
Another client, another investor may not be that comfortable.
And the worst thing as an advisor that I or anyone can do is give a client too much risk.
So I may be comfortable with it, but if another client is not and you get a downturn in the market, what they're likely to do is call up me or whoever the advisor is at the worst possible moment and say, you know what?
I was up all night.
I can't take this.
Sell everything.
And what that does, Ryan, is it turns a temporary loss into a permanent loss.
And again, I've done these studies, the last five crises that have faced the market.
If you could just buckle your seatbelt and get through it, your long-term results are fabulous, but you've got to get through it.
And to get through it, you have to have the proper amount of risk, which means having some fixed income if you're not going to get through those moments where you wake up in the middle of the night saying, what's going on in the world?
There's another element.
No, go ahead.
Just give me one more second here.
Maybe a few more seconds.
Another element of diversification, which I very much believe in, is not putting all of your eggs in one industry basket.
Over the last 15 years, technology stocks have just shot the lights out and it continues.
And today we're talking about chips.
