radio show. I'm Chris Hill. I'm in my home. Senior Analyst Jason Moser is in his home.

0:25.6

Senior Analyst Emily Flippin is in her home. You too. Thanks for joining me.

Big B here at home, I mean. Yeah. The market is closed for the good Friday.

0:36.6

Holidays. So we're recording a little earlier this week. Chip Posic, the CEO of Education Company,

0:41.6

to you is our guest. And yeah, we've got some stocks on our radar. But we're going to start with the big macro.

0:47.6

Once again, on Thursday, the Federal Reserve announced a $2.3 trillion support program for cities and states.

0:55.6

And another 6.6 million people have filed for unemployment. And Jason, that brings the total for the last three weeks to nearly 17 million.

1:05.6

And yet the market is just in Fuego, Chris. I mean, let's try to make sense of this all right, because it doesn't seem to make a lot of sense on the service.

1:15.6

But to me, honestly, this window in time is the greatest testament to why our way, our foolish way of investing works.

1:23.6

I mean, we hear people talking about getting out of the market during these bad times and trying to get back in when things seem a little bit more stable.

1:30.6

And that's just such an unproductive way to go about things because it's so difficult to figure out what the market's going to do.

1:44.6

So I mean, I think there's going to be a lot of volatility both ways here in the coming in the coming weeks and the coming months.

1:50.6

There's a lot of information still to come out to digest to understand exactly how it's going to plan on an economy.

1:56.6

But for the most part, I mean, we talk about staying the course and we know that's not easy. It does take a leap of faith.

2:03.6

But generally speaking, we're making the bet that we think the future is going to look better at some point, right?

2:11.6

I mean, maybe maybe not in the near-term and the next couple of months, but generally speaking, as time goes on, the future will look better.

2:17.6

And that's been a pretty smart leap throughout history. So it's nice to see that we have our government hard at work trying to make sure that the financial resources are there for our economy because this is one of those self imposed shutdowns, so to speak.

2:32.6

We don't know when that necessarily is going to stop. But I mean, we are, we're seeing our government pull every tool out of the toolbox here.

2:41.6

And that has to be very reassuring. And I think honestly, that's why the market is starting to receive news like this and feel a little bit better about things because now it really is all just a matter of time as opposed to just not knowing exactly what's going on.
