Welcome to Motley Fool Money with the Hidden Gems team.

I'm Jon Quast, joined today by Matt Frankel and Rachel Warren.

Today we're talking about Elon Musk's big idea, as well as some other big ideas that we really like.

But first, I kind of wanted to avoid it, but we have to talk about it.

Early this morning, before the market opened, U.S.

President Trump announced that they'd had productive talks with Iran.

over the weekend.

Of course, we all know that the operations happening in Iran have had a huge impact on oil prices.

It's been a roller coaster ride, and I'm positive we have not reached the final chapter of this ride yet.

But with the market up so sharply today, I felt like we needed to talk about it, acknowledge it.

Rachel and Matt, the market was down last week, up sharply this morning.

Was the announcement from the president that good?

Was the news that good?

Okay, so that is the more news angle.

This is what has happened.

This is what is happening.

But I wanna take a step back and just kind of advocate, ask some questions on behalf of our listeners.

I think if I'm a listener to this show regularly, if I'm listening to Motley Fool Money, I'm hearing from the analysts regularly to take a long-term view with investing.

I wanna take a long-term approach

to buying stocks, investing in these companies, and yet we're seeing something so consequential.
