Well Laura, I've averaged a 37% return from when the market tanked due to tariffs. Did any of you buy while you were all proclaiming the end was near? The only one who I think did was probably Lamp and that's because if he's as intelligent as I think he is, he saw opportunity regardless of his politics.
