And it's such an exciting time in the markets.

I know people get really scared, but excitement and fear is kind of the same emotion.

There's just a lot of action going on right now.

It's such a good point because, you know, the times of recession and we're obviously not in recession are times when the greatest wealth can be made.

So it's a really, really good opportunity to while it can feel scary and so much of the volatility can rock your portfolio.

And sometimes you feel like you need a value, even just checking volatility.

Whatever you have invested, even if you're just a 401k girly, it feels like overwhelming.

But these are the eras that wealth is created.

Absolutely.

So what are you looking at right now?

All the craziness with the war in Iran.

What should we be watching?

I'm glad that you put that in perspective, too, because when you hear just like in a vacuum that it's above 100 bucks, even my husband, when we were listening to.

a podcast on this uh over the weekend he's like well where is it normally i don't even know and so it's it's really good perspective and when you say brent what does that mean or what should people be looking at with specific oil prices like how should they put all of that into context with the benchmark yeah so brent oil so there's two brent oil being one of those brent crude oil and that is what sets uh the prices of oil per barrel and so right now yeah it's at 107

You're obviously in this every single day.

If somebody is new to this and they're learning, which I so appreciate, you're not a novice and you're helping the novices or the first-time investors really become smarter about how all of these elements work together because they do.

Oil works in tandem with the dollar, right?

So how are you watching that and what do you do on a daily basis to reposition your portfolio or think about repositioning it?

Totally worked.

Time in the market beats timing the market every single time.
