So I think for Klarna, it matters less, but I do think if you are any company that can go global, you start in Europe. Europe is a very nice prize, but I think the best companies will want to go global and they want to go after the US opportunity.

It's probably the largest opportunity for FinTech companies. You know, if I look at most software companies, you're probably two thirds kind of US Canada in terms of revenue contribution and then one third everything else. So you have to succeed in Europe if you start out there, you're a European company. But man, the US is a pretty big prize.

We appreciate less money. what's going on internally. So I think about a company like PDD. I think it's a great company.

I don't know what's happening there in terms of why they decide to tank the stock, because everything that we see on the ground is still very positive for PDD. And so those things, I think, do give me pause in terms of not appreciating what's going on internally in those businesses.

I'm optimistic. Overall, the market, what it has created is it's created great consumer companies, great financials companies. I think what we haven't yet seen is great technology companies, in part because some of the best technology founders come to the US. But I'm optimistic.
