Is there an easy way to chart?
I'm sure you have all the fancy charts and graphs, but is there an easy way to chart against the benchmark?
Just any of the finance sites.
You could take XLE as the baseline and then put something else against it and see what the returns are.
Most people will benchmark against the S&P 500 to see
where they are in comparison.
in your life, your age, all of that, your risk.
It's all important to take into consideration.
And a lot of young people in particular vote with their dollars and they take into consideration their morals and their values and how they feel about oil or how they feel about defense stocks or private prisons and tobacco and all of that and look at ETFs that strip those things out.
So how would you talk to a values-driven investor who's like,
cool, cool, I want nothing to do with oil.
Or there's options, right?
No, I'm just trying to read between the lines.
But yeah, I hear what you're saying.
You were more invested in ESG or ESG ETFs or companies that stood by that.
And now you've moved a little bit away from that based on research that you've done.
Well, we talked a lot about Iran today, for sure.
Are there other sectors or areas that you are bullish in, you know,
XLE, as you said, an ETF that tracks energy, has beaten the S&P 500, so has SMH, semiconductors.
What areas are you excited about right now?
