[SPEAKER_A] On radio, on YouTube, streaming live on InvestTalk.com, and for our podcast subscribers, this is InvestTalk: Independent Thinking, Shared Success. InvestTalk is made possible by KPP Financial, a registered investment advisor firm serving clients throughout the United States.

[SPEAKER_B] Good afternoon, fellow investors, and welcome back to another week of Invest Talk. This is our Monday, May 11th, 2026 edition of Invest Talk, and a lot to discuss to start this week. Obviously a lot of headlines around the Iran conflict and volatility amongst different sectors, different asset classes. The AI trade in some ways is helping certain sectors, in other ways it's hurting other sectors, and we are going to unpack all of it on today's show. We're going to talk about as much as we can while also mainly answering your finance investment questions. That's what this show is mainly about. I can sit here and talk about whatever's on my mind, but I need to know what is on yours. And when you call in, ask your question, you are not only helping yourself, you're probably helping some other InvestTalk listener as well. Because I've been doing this for a long time. I've been doing the podcast now for almost 20 years. So I've seen it all. And I do see similar questions. So once again, you call, you are helping you and the rest of the InvestTalk community.

[SPEAKER_B] We're looking at Venture Global. VG is the symbol. And as the caller asked or said, they operate liquefied natural gas export facilities. And here's my issue: is near term they're definitely making more money, expected to make all-time high of $1.33 this year. But that's in context to what's going on in the Middle East. How long is that conflict going to drag on? Do you want to buy into something that's earning this much simply based on a conflict that likely has a finite timeline? My simple answer is not really, because next year earnings are supposed to fall back to $0.62, and it's at $11.62 right now. So roughly 20 times forward-looking earnings, which frankly is kind of exp...
