0:00.0	You're about to join Neil's Kostrup Larson on a raw and honest journey into the world of systematic investing and learn about the most dependable and consistent yet often overlooked investment strategy.
0:13.0	Welcome to the Systematic Investor Series.
0:27.4	Welcome and welcome back to this week's edition of the systematic investor series with Rob Carver and I, Neil's Castleblaston, where each week we take the pulse of the global
0:31.4	markets through the lens of a rules-based investor.
0:35.0	Rob, it is great to be back with you this week, and as far as I know, you're a big
