Good afternoon, fellow investors, and welcome to Invest Talk. This is our Friday, August 8th,

2025 edition. I'm excited for this hour with you to close out this week, very interesting week in markets.

A lot to unpack as we close the week and head into the weekend.

But this hour is dedicated to you.

It's to your questions, to your concerns, whatever's on your mind.

Don't hesitate to reach out with your question at 8-899.

That's the main way that we help you become a better

investor bring you perspective and color and data so that you go into a decision with your eyes

wide open what might be right for one person maybe wrong for another so understand that as well

and that's why try to give the pros and the cons of everything,

because everything boils down to those factors. And it's up to you to decide what is right for you.

That's what investing is about. What's the right risk versus reward for you, time horizon,

the need for capital, savings habits, investment habits, etc.

What strategy makes sense for you in your risk tolerance level, your personality, and your experience level, and your discipline.

All this goes into how to invest correctly, successfully,

over time, year after year. Okay. So that's what this hour is about. And we'll talk about

the market performance in just a bit and then run down the show topics that we will cover

through the hour. But first, as usual, we'll tackle this color question now.
