[2:50] if you look at gold at 4,600, it's still nine You know, it's still basically 900, almost a thousand dollars down from the high. So, uh if you want to look at it that way, it's still 18 or 20% off the high in January. And I think if they'll think about it long the You have to think about gold long term. If you'll think about it over the next uh say 1 and 1/2 or 2 years, you know, and let's say you got an objective of gold of 7 or 8,000, then it doesn't doesn't feel very high.

So, let's say that we think uh inflation will run between three and four over time. And there may be periods when it's two and a half. I understand that, but I'm saying over time, if it runs between three and four

[9:20] yeah, I think it has more to go. I mean, it's like it hasn't ever gotten the level. Like, for example, uh when when the when the min gold miners hit such highs, we basically cut those in half uh right at the end of the year, beginning of January 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. And we did the same thing with silver. Same. We owned Heckla. We cut that in half on the silver miners because it it tripled in a year. And so, it was a thing to do. Well, all those have come back now, you know, and you have a lot of retail in those stocks. In energy, you don't have as much retail. They're not chasing those things. Uh, it's more of a steady climb where people are starting to realize that, hey, you know, we're we're going to need we're going to need this and it's going to no matter what, it's going to be a while before they get this thing resolved in terms of getting back to normal. Uh, it may never go back to normal for quite a while. So, I think you have to stay with energy in here for the time being.
