We’re going to have an interesting discussion.<br> We’re going talk about several things tonight. So first off we’re going to talk<br> a little about the market and the conditions that it’s in today, and so what<br> we’re doing tonight is we’re recording on.<br> We’re going to discuss the market on December 20th, 2018. Talk a little bit<br> about the market conditions. Then we’re going to segue and talk about my buddy<br> Warren Buffet and one of probably the best speeches you’re ever going to learn<br> about in regards to investing. And then we have a listener question that Andrew<br> wanted to discuss towards the end, and then we also have a special announcement<br> that we’ll talk about at the end as well. So why don’t we go ahead and start off by talking about the market conditions. Andrew, why don’t you go ahead and<br> tell us how good or how bad things are right now.<br> <br> <br> <br> Andrew: <a href="https://www.temi.com/editor/t/FRRIUsQnN4R55Geo2zHXmxOEadVfQxvkkfGaS1lT7Pcwb5-Af5_619Y4R1YW2sKzfLG1yqlgLWl8PJsNVQUoRGfdkt4?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=91.37">01:31</a> Yeah,<br> it’s really bad right now. Everybody’s freaking<br> out and so I think it’s something we need to address and when I mean everybody,<br> I mean the media, obviously there’s all these reasons for why, why it is<br> basically, I don’t know how the rest of the year is going to end up what I’ve<br> seen historically in December, even if there’s been a strong area you will<br> generally see some selling off in December because people have this crazy idea<br> that you should lock in losses in order to save on taxes. I’ll get like<br> two to a deep into a tangent. That’s one of those stupid things that people use<br> as this conventional wisdom, this idea that you should take a loss to save<br> money on taxes, but so, so you’ll have some of this December selling off.<br> You’ll see as a result of that and we have had so many other factors in play,<br> but essentially where we closed at the end of 2017 last year with the S&P<br> 500, we’re about 200 points under that this year as we record this December<br> 20th.
