So when we look at a portfolio back in 1999 that had small caps, that had mid-caps, that had international, that had emerging markets, that had bonds,

That composition was positive over that 10-year period.

So what we're looking at today and one thing that we're telling clients is we're not necessarily calling for a bubble or a bear market to start, but we are concerned as we're looking at our financial plans to say, what if we do see a loss a decade?

How do we protect against that?

And that's where you further diversify outside of just the S&P 500.

Yeah, I mean, you know, what we saw back in the 90s was we saw a structural tailwind being the internet and the rise of dot-com companies.

And look, the internet was real.

And the internet was something that, you know, was a real structural tailwind that's created a lot of efficiencies and a lot of growth.

And I think we've all benefited from the internet revolution.

I think AI is very similar in that AI is a real structural tailwind.

AI is going to make us all more efficient.

There's going to be disruptions along the way.

There's no question about it.

But I think, you know, looking back at the dot com and looking at the rise of AI, I think it's very likely that we will see an AI bubble at some point.
