Callum ThomasGUEST
And so I think the first one would be just, I guess, going back to the process where, again, you know, it's a lot of the way I kind of construct things or go about things is to actually go and look at each asset class.
Callum ThomasGUEST
And so, you know, I guess it's almost a bottom-up, top-down approach, whereas, you know, some top-down, you know, maybe the classical top-down interpretation is that you come up with some, you know, grand macro view and then every other view kind of trickles down off of that.
Callum ThomasGUEST
But I think it's quite a good approach from the standpoint that, you know, Well, it kind of keeps you grounded in what's going on with each of those assets so that if you do happen to get this broad macro grand story mixed up or wrong, and we always have to remind ourselves that failure is always an option, then at least you've started by having the other calls sort of grounded in this kind of base reality where that can help you you know, keep you out of trouble again, but also just keep you into things that, you know, that you might have missed if you had been just sticking to that.
Callum ThomasGUEST
Like if you just said, oh, it's recession, you know, and that guided everything else, then that's, you know, that's going to have, you know, lead you into places that, or lead you out of places that you might or might not want to be.

I don't know if you had a chance to, to noodle on that and kind of consult your studies.
