Diversification matters.

How diversified is your portfolio?

* Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Investors should consider their individual risk tolerance, investment objectives, and market conditions when making portfolio decisions.*

Scott Bessent: "...we can get a huge amount of information from what companies are telling us. We can't predict the PCE deflator better than anybody. We can't have a better model for lei. But if trucking companies are telling you the business is taking off, then that's very interesting."
