Welcome to Animal Spirits, a show about markets, life, and investing. Join Michael Batnick and Ben Carlson as they talk about what they're reading, writing, and watching. All opinions expressed by Michael and Ben are solely their own opinion and do not reflect the opinion of Ridholst Wealth Management. This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for any investment decisions.

Clients of Ridholdt's wealth management may maintain positions in the securities discussed in this podcast. Welcome to Animal Spirits with Michael and Ben. We have an announcement to make. Scammers. There are fake Instagram accounts.

I don't know if it's of myself and Ben or and or animal spirits, but they're out there. And I think needless to say, but I guess not needless to say, because we're doing this, they're not us. If we will never, ever, ever DM you first. Promise. I'm not in the business of DMing strangers and asking for money or telling them which stocks to buy.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is $1.49.
