[00:00:00]Day 50 of this investing challenge, and we are up 8.28% in just 2 months. Now, I'm not sure if this positive trend we've seen will last very long as President Trump is stating that the ceasefire is on life support, meaning that we could soon be in another round of kinetic conflict with Iran. Now, on the bright side, in an effort to give some relief, President Trump is looking at suspending the federal tax on gas to help relieve about 18 cents per gallon at the pump. So, that's something. We are investing in VTI, Vanguard's Total Stock Market ETF, which rose 0.21% today. The reason we chose a total stock market index fund is for the stability as we truly just don't know what's going to happen next. So, if you are nervous about where the market is heading and just want a safe place to park some cash, you could check out this video where we cover 17 of the best high-yield savings accounts that you can use without all this turmoil. So, check that video out next, and I'll see you back here tomorrow for day 51.
