- 4:47by
- 4:47that
- 4:47is
- 4:48different

- 4:50maybe
- 4:50you
- 4:51invest
- 4:51in
- 4:51stocks,
- 4:52you
- 4:52can
- 4:52buy
- 4:52different
- 4:53stocks.
- 4:53Maybe
- 4:53you
- 4:53invest
- 4:54in
- 4:54bonds,
- 4:54they're
- 4:55not

- 4:55market.
- 4:56Or
- 4:56maybe
- 4:57you
- 4:57do
- 4:57cash.
- 4:57Now,
- 4:57when
- 4:58I
- 4:58Use
- 4:58the
- 4:58word
- 4:58cash.
- 4:59I
- 4:59mean,
- 4:59things
- 4:59like
- 4:59certificates
- 5:00of
- 5:00deposit
- 5:01or
- 5:01maybe
- 5:02money
- 5:02market
- 5:03accounts
- 5:03with
- 5:03the
- 5:03bank.
- 5:04But
- 5:04not
- 5:04having
- 5:05all
- 5:05those
- 5:05things
- 5:06under
- 5:06just
- 5:06one
- 5:06thing.
- 5:07Because
- 5:07here's
- 5:07the
- 5:07truth.
- 5:09Each
- 5:09of
- 5:09these
- 5:09different

- 5:13intentionally.
- 5:14So.
- 5:14For

- 5:15let's
- 5:16say
- 5:16the
- 5:16stock
- 5:16market

- 5:20the
- 5:20bond
- 5:20market
- 5:21will
- 5:21come

- 5:22Maybe
- 5:22the
- 5:22bond
- 5:23market
- 5:23is
- 5:23not
- 5:23doing
- 5:23well.
- 5:24That's
- 5:24when
- 5:24the
- 5:24stock
- 5:25market
- 5:25might
- 5:25rally.
- 5:25Or
