I want to talk about something that I think is a it's a it's a theme that we've gone over before but I want to reiterate it because I think it's just something that we have to constantly remind ourselves of and I have to constantly remind myself of as being one of the mouthpieces for Ritholz wealth management in the public,

but I think it applies to everyone.

I see this same group of people online at conferences,

and not wait into those debates because they don't matter. They're not changing the
