This is InvestTalk from KPP Financial, helping investors make sense of the markets one day at a time. Here's your host, Justin Klein. Good afternoon, fellow investors, and welcome back to InvestTalk. This is our Monday, June 15th, 2026 edition, and what a start to the week it was.

We have what looks to be finally after a lot of false starts on a resolution in Iran. You know, it's still somewhat up in the air, but at least more details are in place for now. We'll see if that holds, but ultimately the market reacted to it and moved higher. So we'll see how, once again, this evolves throughout the week. Is there a follow through to the upside or not?

And we know that this all happens with a backdrop of a new Fed chair, AI, market disruption, new IPOs that are coming out with SpaceX last week and more and more coming in the coming months as well. So a lot of moving parts in this market. So always something to discuss. And our job is to help unpack it for you.

Separate the signal from the noise. There's a lot of noise. There's a lot of noise out there in the age of social media, age of AI. You definitely have to be careful what you focus on. Because it's easy to get distracted. And our job is to refocus you on the right things. So that's what this hour is about. And I will do that by bringing you topics that are important, that I think are important to you, to me,

when we're managing client assets, et cetera. But most importantly will be your live calls. As always, it's 888-99-CHART. So whatever's on your mind, we would love to hear from you. 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Now here's a heads up. Our next Wealth webinar is set for Tuesday, June 30th from 12 to 1 p.m. Pacific time. So just about two weeks away. The title is Beyond the Yield, How to Invest for Your Income Needs.

In just a bit, we'll talk about the market performance and run down the show topics. But first, let's tackle this caller question now. Hey guys, this is Jordan from Minnesota. I'm just calling to get your thoughts on Amazon. I'm just wondering if this is something that I can put some money into and hold it for 20 plus years and we'll do pretty well on. Thanks. This is a great question. For years, it was about blue chip stocks.

Technology didn't change much up until the 90s. And then things moved rapidly from there once the internet hit the world. So just go look back at the big names in the early 90s, shall we say? They weren't the big names a decade on because then it was the tech names.

The Microsofts, eventually the Apples of the world, Amazon, which you're calling about, etc. But over time, those big technology names have had wild volatility from the likes of BlackBerry. Remember BlackBerry being the king of smartphones? And then suddenly it wasn't. Apple took its shine and rose to prominence.
