#1 Look at those 1Q25 returns in column 4. Eureka! All that gold just laying around. I can’t wait to get to “California” so I can get rich, too. #2 Look at those Total Risk Index ratios in column 12. I wonder if those ratios use a Richter Scale? Ouch! #3 As the Gattlin Brothers sang in 1979, “All the gold in California is in a bank in the middle of Beverly Hills/In somebody else's name/So if you're dreaming about California/It don't matter at all where you've played before/California's a brand-new game/ “Tryin' to be a hero, winding up a zero/Can scar a man forever right down to your soul/Living on the spotlight can kill a man outright/'Cause everything that glitters is not gold." #4 Never forget "PPINGOFR?"
