| 0:00.0 | Hi everybody and welcome to Invested. I'm Danielle Town. We're taking a short break on new |
| 0:05.3 | episodes of our podcast just for a couple weeks because we want to replay all three episodes of our |
| 0:10.2 | talk with Value Investor Guy Spear and also because my dad and I are working on something |
| 0:14.9 | special that will announce just as soon as we possibly can. |
| 0:19.2 | In addition to listening to Guy today, check out the news about Berkshire Hathaway's recent |
