Now, the market is realizing just the uncertainty that we've been talking about this for months, if not years.

But one thing is that the uncertainty you're talking about, Morgan, it's lasting longer than any of us ever expected.

I mean, if you think back to COVID, which seems like a whole lifetime ago, we thought at the end of COVID things would get clearer for us, like we'd have bluer skies.

And it looks so good that the rate cuts that we were expecting are getting pushed off maybe into the future.

And that means that the interest rates for borrowing money are going to be high, maybe even higher.

But If it's time to make some of your money safe in a safe place with the interest rates high right now, there's never been a better time to take some of those gains off of the market and reposition them into a safe place that can earn safe money with high potential upside.

or to take some of your non-performing money and move it into a bucket that can make more on a guaranteed, insured basis.

So the point here is, with all the uncertainty in the world, and nobody knows when it's going to get certain, We have an opportunity right now to strike while the iron's hot and get some very respectable guaranteed rates or very respectable upside market potential with no risk using the safe money products.
