TIM MELVIN Oh, okay. There we go. MebFaber.com is the website, and there are links through there to all of the ETFs, to all of the white papers. Also, you know, look, Meb is one of the few guys besides myself that puts transcripts on his podcasts. If you’re like me and you’d rather read it than listen to it, it’s there, and he’s got some of the best guests in all of finance on a regular basis. Check out the podcast. Meb used to charge five hundred bucks a year for the Idea Farm. He got it on a regular basis. He decided to open that up, make it more public. It’s the best research that you’re going to see as an individual, bar none. He’s not charging for it anymore. Comes in every week, I believe, on Sundays. It just—there are really seven or eight just fascinating research papers there that are institutional quality that you’re not going to see anywhere else.

MEB FABER By the way, we just redesigned the Idea Farm. If you haven’t been back recently, check it out. This goes out to a hundred thousand people. Plus, we have individual pages for all of the historical pieces. You can go back. We’ve only done a couple of years in the archives. We’re going to add about another one per month, but you can find hundreds of the top research pieces and podcasts over the past ten years. You can search for them by topic, by location, by idea. It’s a really well-done service.

TIM MELVIN: Excellent. Well, again, I want to thank you for your time this afternoon. This has been great. It’s been fascinating. MebFaber.com, check it out. It is one of my absolute favorite and most informative websites available to individual investors today. Meb, thank you much.

MEB FABER: Thanks, bud.

TIM MELVIN I’ll join you in that “go Dodgers” because my Baltimore Orioles are in the AL East, and the Blue Jays thump them all year long.

MEB FABER: Well, my Colorado Rockies are a single-A team at this point. I can’t even cheer for them. They’re so bad.

TIM MELVIN It’s really insulting to the good single-A teams out there, I’ve got to tell you.

MEB FABER Yeah, it should be a good series. Thanks everybody. Let’s do it again.
