reality radio for a really great future we're talking real money hey thanks for being part of

our program here every saturday live on northwest news radio and then as a podcast at all of your

favorite podcast services,

you just go there and type in talking real money.

A lot of people doing it.

Our podcast has grown tremendously in the last few years.

And I got to give the kudos there to my partner, Don McDonald,

who does all the heavy lifting.

I just get to come on here and talk.

He does all the editing, all the work.

And Don is not with us today.

He's out ill, but hopefully we'll hear from him again next week.

So the telephone number, because your questions and calls are the thing that we want to touch first.

If we can get to him, 855-935-825-8-5-935-t, 855-935-T-A-L-K.

And Phil, we'll get to you in just a couple of minutes here.

But, you know, a couple of people wrote us questions over the last few weeks and said, what about bonds?

Now, let's just make sure that we're on the same page here because, and don't, don't take this the wrong way.

A stock is actual ownership in a company.

When you own a portfolio of 10,000 stocks, which I hope you do, because the gentleman had called me last hour and said, I just want to own the S&P 500, that is just $2,000 stocks, which I hope you do because the gentleman had called me last hour and said,

I just want to own the S&P 500.

That is just too narrow.
