You just gotta have patience, you gotta have a strategy, you gotta work, surround yourself with people who are willing to argue and challenge your way of view so that with that fear and trembling we find the right path. land. Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of Financial University.

I am Chris Martinson of peak financial investing, also of peak prosperity, here today

again with Paul Kiker of Kiker Wealth Management. Paul,

good to be back with you. Good to see you, Chris. Good to see you again. Yeah, I was out of

country last week, you know, down in Panama taking a quick peek at, well, the canal, but also the migration

thing up close and personal.

Between, just between us, super frustrating trip because I was this far away from some of the

world's best fishing.

And I can't.

And you didn't get to go.

I could.

No, no, both on the ocean side, but we're up in this thing called Lake Gatong, which is this

dammed lake, which is, forms a big portion of the Panama Canal, and they'd killed all these

trees.

So we literally, for an hour, drove past tree stumps with lily pads.

It was bass fishing.

I've never seen so much bass territory in my life.

And there wasn't one other person out there fishing. So I was like, oh, it's like a naive fishing environment. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. And that's a peacock bass territory, isn't it? Yeah. Yeah, they got some crazy things in there. I've heard they are legendary to catch. I've never called a peacock bass before.

Me neither. Me neither. So I was thinking of you. I was like, oh, we're coming back, you know?

I would love it. Absolutely. So, uh, markets. Markets keep going up and up and up and up. I think we're

continuing the pattern. I saw start on October 30th of 2023 twenty three something happened a lot of money came into the market it's still

there
