just date the course with their original investments. And so

Speaker 1 (01:39):
Okay, so yeah, you take a look at what happened
to start the year, there is likely to be some
additional optimism. We had. Not only things work out better
last year than had it been anticipated, the tariff fears overblown,
economy growing much faster than anticipated, inflation lower than expected. Well,
(02:00):
now you can take a look at some of the
big issues they are going to be in focus. The
Venezuela factors in guess what lower energy price is going forward.
In Venezuela only is the largest reserve of oil in
the world, but they only produced less than a thirteenth
of what the United States does. If they get online
in a big way, then you're going to be able

else mattered, the maximum downside risk from where we sit
(03:27):
is forty eight percent. That is pretty much where we've
been for a while now. And now, Do I think
we're going to see that kind of sell off even
if we had a correction? No? Is it possible in theory.
So let's just say it did happen. If it wouldn't
negatively impact you in the day to day, great, you're
probably in good shape. If it was time for a
new plan, if necessary, a pro to help you with
that plan.
