Sure, definitely. You know, I believe it could be a time bomb waiting to explode. I could be wrong, but that's my own belief. And that's the belief of the head of Jimmy Morgan also, Jimmy Dimon. You think he still thinks that? He thinks that. And actually, when he was in Davos, they asked him a question. He refused to comment on it completely. I saw his interview.
He declined to comment on it because he's fed up from saying it's bad, bad, bad, bad. So he's just giving up and not commenting.
But not heavily. What about gold? No, gold is... Many countries have gold as one of their investments, for sure, yes.
No, but we do have some small portfolio of gold. But nothing major, nothing major, no. Nothing major. Do you expect it to go much higher? Well, you know, I mean... It goes up and down based on supply and demand. But to us, really, it's not a priority, gold. We're not very heavily invested in gold.
Look, Saudi Arabia opened a lot since 1915, since 2015 when King Salman took over and Prince Mohammed bin Salman got in charge of the local situation and opened up a lot. And I'm very happy with this complete liberalization of the economy, liberalization socially, whereby women became incorporated in the society, equal opportunity, women can drive now.
Basically, it's a normalization of the women incorporation into the society. Yes. So, Prince Mohammed just made a woman equal to men, frankly speaking. It was a big achievement for us because for many years before that, we were deprived from that. And I called for that many years ago, and thanks God it happened.
So really, there's no limit to where we can go, but obviously, no one wants to go beyond the limit. It's just like America. If you do everything within the law, within the legal system, it's acceptable. That's what's happening here. Our country became normal. We normalize the situation with all our countries in the world.
No, look, frankly speaking, I'm very conservative. You know, I live in America. I'm anti-alcohol. And I'm very happy that my country has no alcohol, frankly speaking. And I don't mind that at all. I'm a very liberal man socially, yet I'm very conservative when it comes to, for example, using drugs or alcohol. I'm very much against that. So these are off the limits for us, for sure.
And we will not accept that in Saudi Arabia.
It's happening already. That's true. It's happening already, to be honest with you. And if it's happening already, so it's been tested already right now. So frankly speaking, the answer is yes, it's possible and it's happening. And do you think they'll stick with it? The government will stick with it? Well, you know, I think this is for Saudi government to decide. Of course.
I'm not government official. So far, so good. But it's for the government to decide what are the next steps.
Look, Saudi Arabia is an Islamic country. Religion is very an integral part of our society. And not having alcohol here is not really something that people miss a lot. You know, clearly, when you have a Western come here, For sure, he would like to have some alcohol. I mean, there's no need to deny that, obviously.
But I think to have an experience in Saudi Arabia without alcohol is something to be tried. But at the end of the day, it's the government, Saudi government, to decide if this policy to continue or not to continue. And it's going to continue in certain areas.
you know you've been to red sea i think yes in certain areas if you would like to have this uh to be permitted or not it's not for me but i'm willing to live with both scenarios it's just interesting because it's the one of the last pretty sober societies in the world i mean you've lived in a number of places what what are the differences it's good to be sober yeah it is good to be sober it's nice to be sober good i'll quote you for that beautiful to be sober love it
You're something else, Tucker.
