Thank you.

I like your term SWAN stock.

And, yes, I speak fluent beta. I like it below 1.

I got burned in the 90s when I was having too much fun in tech. It was a lesson learned. But, at least, as much as I reveled in those temporary returns, I did not bet the whole farm, just the butter and egg money.

That comeuppance made me careful and simple and boring when it comes to investing. Hubris hurts.

I just might try to catch LEG.
