All right, folks, we’ll welcome you to the Investing for Beginners podcast. This is episode 178 tonight. Andrew and I are going to talk about a new, interesting subject. We’re going to talk about how to trade the vaccine of volatility. Last week, early in the week, on Monday, we had some great news. We had a vaccine announced from Pfizer that could help with COVID. And because of that, the markets went nuts. And I think there was a huge, I guess, lack of a better word, euphoria surrounding the markets, and probably me personally, and everything felt great. So there was a lot of volatility that week, though. So Andrew and I wanted to talk a little bit about how you could work some of that to your magic. So I’m going to turn it over to my friend, Andrew, and we’re going to go ahead and have a conversation.
