I mean, you want to make informed decisions about investments. You want to have the right access to, to the right information in order to help you make good investment decisions. I found over the last couple of decades, investors have become increasingly reliant on more and more information. With the advent of the internet and information available online, there was so much information available to the investor. That I worry about the investor not being able to see the forest for the trees. And making bad decisions with, with too much information. So I think there are some very simple things investors have to know. They have to know about a company's valuation. They have to understand its profitability and its growth prospects. And, and you have to be willing to pay the price for growth in a, in a given investment. But you don't really need a awful lot of the precision to the fourth decimal place. That you can get from a variety of data sources today. I always think of someone like Warren Buffett basically reading an annual report and deciding whether or not to invest in a company, really looking at the company's annual report and financial statements, and not getting much more complicated than that. And I think that is probably a good lesson or a good thing for the individual investor to think about. Advances in information technology and in the information available to the individual investor. Has not really stopped the individual investor's tendency to buy something after it's gone up. And to sell something after it declines. And I think that's the behavioral tendency that, that all investors, including professional investors like yours truly, battle on a daily basis. ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Brian Rogers On Why More Information Doesn't Always Lead to Better Decisions","description":"Brian Rogers, chairman and chief investment officer of T.
