Dave (00:41):



All right folks, welcome to Investing for Beginners
podcast. Tonight Andrew and I have been talking, and he thought we would do it
all basics of the economy. So we haven’t taught, we’ve touched a little bit on
economics in the past, and we thought maybe this would be a good time
considering everything that’s going on with the economy in the world that
