All right, can we get some questions from our YouTube audience? And here's a few that kind of

are in the same bucket. And they are all around this sort of election season, politics,

the economy, investing. What do I do with my money? So here's a few. And we'll kind of pull back

And then here we are.

We're crawling back.

be benefiting from the rebate. You wouldn't have the recovery. That's right. And you would have got

in too late. So that's part of it. You can pull up the numbers. I'm going to move on to this next question, which is related. Should I wait to invest more until after the election?

Again, what we've seen, there's no history that shows us that if you invest the day after
