Dave:                                    00:36                     All
right folks, welcome to the Investing for Beginners podcast. This is episode 124
tonight, Andrew, and I thought we would take a break from Listener questions
and maybe some of the other formats that we’ve talked about lately and talk a
little bit about some current news. So for those of you out there living in a
black hole of news, there was some big, big news in the stock market recently
this week and there was some news that a lot of the online brokers have dropped

before that was what were we, what were we saying? I was like interactive brokers
before that. Yup. Yup. They were one of the first ones. Goldman Sachs was I
think those were one of the first two that, that went that route. And then like

one that kind of really shook up the investing world. And then soon after that
