0:11.8	Thanks for tuning in to the Money Tree Investing Podcast, your source for investing and money matters.
0:18.2	I'm your host, Andrew Saither from eInvestingfor Beginners.com, and we will be
0:22.8	joined with decades of experience from our panel at the end of the show. Today's guest is Sean Emery.
0:29.0	He is the portfolio manager at GFG Capital in Miami, Florida, where he manages nearly $1.3 billion
