| 0:00.0 | Yo, fam, it's 2026, man. And I wanted to bring my brother back because one of the things that |
| 0:05.9 | we've learned and he and I talked about this is the importance of knowing what has worked |
| 0:13.9 | and what's working. So today's show, I really want you to get a pen, get a paper, and write down |
| 0:19.0 | every single index fund stock that Courtney |
| 0:23.6 | mentions. And I need you all to open up an account today, a broker's account, and go invest. |
| 0:28.4 | Because one of the biggest things that I'm seeing is that people payers for the lack of knowledge. |
| 0:33.5 | That's number one. And then two, people don't get, they don't move forward because they don't act. |
| 0:39.1 | You hear the information, but you don't act, all right? And so, man, Courtney's back in the building, y'all. And Courtney, you know me. We don't need an introduction, bro. I really want to get into it. Let me talk to you this first. Again, for the new people. and just really for all of everyone. |

| 1:02.3 | a single stock. |
| 1:03.7 | I think it's very important very quickly if we could just break down what is an index fund, |
| 1:10.0 | what is an ETF, what is a mutual fund? |
| 1:12.9 | Yeah. |
| 1:13.3 | So a mutual fund instead of investing in an individual company, which is a stock, mutual fund is a basket of stocks. |
| 1:21.2 | Really, really good because it gives you diversification. |
| 1:24.3 | If something happens to a few companies, all of your money isn't at risk. Yes. All right. That's the benefit to a mutual fund. Okay. Now, inside of a mutual fund, you have different types of funds you can have, right? You have an index fund or you can have an ETF. Okay. Here's the thing. There's, uh, ETFs and index funds are very similar and people mix them up all the time. |
| 1:46.4 | So I like to, this is how I like to break it down. Um, so an index fund tells you what you're |
