So I have written, count them, five books now. But each time I'm in the writing process, I stay at an Airbnb. I love to stay at an Airbnb. When I was actually first launching this show, I was at an Airbnb in Arizona. It was so peaceful. It was stunning. I could be productive and comfortable. The Airbnb was also surrounded by a ton of javelinas.
If you know Arizona, you know they're like wild pig creatures. But honestly, I love them too. Being away for work, for fun, or both is a perfect opportunity to host your space on Airbnb. And if you think that hosting is overwhelming, I have a solve for you. With Airbnb's co-host network, it's easier than ever before to host. It's also a great way to earn some extra cash, which I know we all love.
Now you can hire a quality local co-host to take care of your home and your guests. They can do everything from creating your listing to managing reservations to messaging guests and even providing on-site support. So if you've got a secondary property or an extended trip coming up and you need a little help hosting while you're away, you can hire a co-host to do the work for you.
Find a co-host at Airbnb.com slash host. I'm Nicole Lappin, the only financial expert you don't need a dictionary to understand. It's time for some money rehab. As you heard on the pod earlier this month, the stock market had its worst day in years and has struggled really for months now to keep up the momentum we saw right after the election.
So is this the beginning of a recession that we've been bracing for? That's just part of what I cover today with Kevin Simpson, the founder and chief executive officer of Capital Wealth Planning, an investment advisory firm with $10 billion of assets under management. So a lot of money. He's a big deal.
Kevin and I talk about what pro investors do during stock market crashes and where he's seeing opportunities right now. And Kevin plays bullish or bearish with me, my favorite, and he gives us his take on the stocks that are causing the biggest stir on the street right now. Here's Kevin. Kevin Simpson, welcome back to Money Rehab.
Thanks for having me, Nicole. Great to see you.
Are you okay? I just feel like it's been a wild few weeks. How are you holding up?
It's so much about emotions, and that's the problem. For better or for worse, I've been in this industry for over three decades. And in the old days, we would experience one or two 10% pullbacks, almost like clockwork. And it seemed like every other year, we'd have a 20% pullback. Very often, it wouldn't be in the Gregarion calendar where you'd have it start to finish, peak to trough 20% downturn.
