Hey, what's up, y'all? I am here today with my good friend and co-host for these Friday editions of the podcast.

I've got Marshall Johnson here with me.

Hey, hey, what's up, buddy?

Hey, this is our opportunity to cover a weekend reading article with you. As we do every Friday, we take those four articles that we drop into your inbox every Friday and trending topics in the retirement planning space. We like to highlight one of those and have a little conversation around it. Maybe you're a reader. Maybe you just want to dive in deeper. Maybe you don't want to read. You just want to listen. Well, this is your opportunity to do that here with us. And if you don't know what weekend reading is, sign up at retire with purpose.com. And you will receive an email every single Friday. Those four articles, summaries, takeaways from myself, in addition to invitations to webinars, white paper

giveaways, book giveaways, all kinds of great stuff there. If you're not in a position where

you can hop on the internet right now, go to retire with purpose.com. You can also just text us

the keyword WR, key letters, WR at 866, 482, 9559. We'll send you a link to get yourself signed up. Today, we're going to be covering an article on the stock market.
