0:10.9 | Hello, Smart Money Tree podcast listeners. Welcome to The Sweet Show. My name's Kirk Chisholm and I will be your host. |
0:16.9 | So today we're going to be talking with Victor Higani. How you doing today, Victor? Good, thanks. Glad to be on the show. |
0:22.8 | Good. Well, we brought Victor on. We're making a trend this year, bringing on a lot more portfolio managers, investment specialists. |
0:29.8 | As the market's become a little bit more uncertain and volatile, we want to get a wide range of views because that's what people want to hear. |
