Welcome back, everybody.

I have got some breaking news for you.
voice-verified
Between last episode and right now, I have turned another year older.
voice-verified
I'm very excited to be in my 30s.
voice-verified
From what I've heard, it should be any day now that I get totally bowled over by self-actualization.
voice-verified
That is what happens in your 30s, right?
voice-verified
I don't know.
voice-verified
We'll see.

In other equally important news, earnings season kept rolling on this week.
voice-verified
with more good signs from banks.
voice-verified
We also saw a sell-off in chip stocks on Tuesday amid some mounting AI worries, which were quelled and then some later in the week by TSMC.
voice-verified
But more on that later.

And on Wednesday, the S&P 500 got a lift from banks as well as airline stocks after United Airlines' earnings.
voice-verified
But we'll come back to that too.

All in all, the major indexes extended their weekly winning streak, with the Dow gaining 1%, the S&P adding 0.9%,
voice-verified
and the Nasdaq adding 0.8%.
voice-verified
Back to United.
voice-verified
Shares took off on Wednesday after the carrier on Tuesday reported a better-than-expected quarterly profit and said that it's been getting back its pricing power since budget airlines cut a bunch of cheap flights that were weighing down fares.
voice-verified
United also said it would buy back $1.5 billion in shares, having suspended buybacks in 2020, which was, I'm sure we all remember, back when demand for travel got totally decimated by the pandemic.
voice-verified
United shares rallied 12 percent Wednesday and notched a weekly gain of 20 percent.
