Hmm

... you know, going back to around COVID when, you know, energy prices fell off a cliff because demand fell off.
11:16
And so- Energy as a sector is, um, you know, one of, one if not the most volatile sectors.
11:23
So the ride to get those returns is much less predictable, much less smooth than maybe other sectors of the market.
11:31
And so, you know, actually if you look at the volatility of the sectors of the S&P 500 compared with just the S&P 500 itself, because of that diversification, the S&P 500 is way less volatile versus any kind of one sector o- on that front, other than maybe a couple very tiny sectors.
11:49
And so, you know, from our perspective, like that diversification because, you know, in our view, it's not just kind of what the returns are, it's the path to those returns.
12:00
If you have great volatility, it makes it very hard to kind of keep on your investment plan and sustain what you're trying to accomplish at the end, end of the day.
12:19
You know, hopefully our financial goals are far enough out, we shouldn't necessarily be looking for immediate home run.
