Transcript
really the stocks are on the fulcrum. All the tech stocks and AI stocks on one side and when they go down we see the value stocks and bonds go up. There's where diversification pays. That's what you want. You want to hold a broader market because you don't put all your chips in the AI basket. Don't put all your chips in the value basket. You don't have to hit that bullseye. Balanced investing certainly as I look at it now is probably more valuable than it's been for a long time.
