Here is KPP Financial portfolio manager, Luke Guerrero.

Good afternoon, fellow investors, and welcome back to Invest Talk.

I'm Luke Guerrero, and it's Friday, May 2nd, 2025.

And as you are well aware, I imagine the market has been up for nine straight days, the S&P 500, closing in on a pretty rare event event being positive for nine days in a row.

But if you only look at the past nine days, you ignore the whole story.

And that's what we hear at InvestTalk try to do for our listeners, for our viewers,

each and every day, bring the full story directly to them to help make them better

and more informed investors. Now, another way we try help make them better and more informed investors.

Now another way we try and make people better and more informed investors is through our

InvestTalk Wealth webinar series. I mentioned it. We've been mentioning it for a while. It was on Wednesday.

We really appreciate everybody who showed up. But it is now available on our YouTube channel under the playlist for

webinars. Just head over to YouTube, type an InvestTalk with two T's. It is on custom indexing.

I think it's interesting and you may find it interesting too. Now, that being said, because the

objective for this podcast and radio program is to help you become a better investor,

we will bring to the table some educational items and some actionable items to help you along your journey,

but we cannot do it for you.

And because of that, the most important part of this show is you.

And you contribute through your finance and investment questions via voicemail on our

YouTube channel in the comment section or through your live calls throughout the show.
