He joins us along with John Schreiber, President and CEO of the New Jersey Performing Arts Center, both joining us from Newark.

And gentlemen, great to have you here with us.

Thank you.

We appreciate that because we like to get it right here.

So thank you.

Thank you for that.

And thank you again, both of you for joining us.

We want to talk about this gift, but got to say, Leon Lee, that we would certainly get a lot of flack from our Bloomberg users if we didn't ask you about the market environment as well.

So we just want to take a few moments just to ask you about that.

You know,

We have seen records on Wall Street again this week.

There are concerns about overvaluation.

I'm just curious, do you feel comfortable with where the market is and do you expect it to continue to move up higher, especially when it comes to U.S.

stocks?

Yeah, and it's interesting.

You talked about data centers, too, and the AI spend.

I mean, we did have Jeff Bezos of, of course, Amazon saying that the spending on artificial intelligence resembles an industrial bubble that could lead to lost investment but will also make society better off.

Can I just ask you real quickly, AI, is your family office using it?

I totally get it.

We're talking with Leon Cooperman, Lee Cooperman, chair and CEO of Omega Family Office with us from New Jersey.
