Quotes

[15:52] - "The U.S. dollar is the number one predictor of the international stock market outperforming the U.S. stock market. So if you're in a strong U.S. dollar environment, no matter how much you stomp your feet and want the U.S. market to underperform, it will not." ~ Kim Arthur

[21:26] - "Investors need to realize that when geopolitical crises happen, you want to be putting money into the market because almost 12 or 24 months later, you're up significantly from those periods when they went down. It shows the tenacity and the growth mindset of the globe that when these things happen, everybody gets together and works to find a solution to that problem." ~ Kim Arthur

[22:10] - "In the equity market, fear is temporary, and greed is permanent." ~ Kim Arthur
