That's a technical difficulties we hope this is gonna work plants are you there I'm here tonight to talk to get our -- I'm glad you're there could be here your Royce.
-- surprise you by Paul Ryan's portfolio.
I would say that I was really surprised down and then what I mean by that is.
That this is very much how out when I sit down with client but a daily basis and my office.
This is very typical of the portfolios that I -- -- from you know wherever they were being advice before they just they just the.
And then the back with a drop here is that yes eight times of mutual fund -- his portfolio.
And many of them overlap they have.
Similar holdings in each one -- so you see that with your own customers with that -- consumers that you advise.
We need to didn't.
Well that and that and that that the problem with the portfolio weighted -- don't -- he holdings he really has no idea.

People debate big -- a large cap on the on the mid -- -- small cap if international but I think you're diversified.
A problem is that today.
All these markets because of globalization because the technology they're all highly correlated so everything blew up and down the same time and -- -- crash come gonna get we've already had two -- the last decade we're gonna have another one eventually.
They get hurt much more because of the extreme exposure to risk -- they really don't even realize they have.
Higher absolute right -- it's great to have you back come what we can actually see year it'll pay at a -- at a picture of -- but it's not the same.
-- so much dumping -- -- -- at.
