But that financial stress as a small business owner like literally never goes away.

And I think for me, it's a little bit more of like, where's the world going?

And the stability of that, that stresses me out.

But it's kind of like, should we push this like silly, funny vent when other things are kind of heavy?

Like we can still do all this cool stuff while things are crazy because we all kind of just need it.

But first, let's do the numbers.

The Dow Jones was down 269 points, 0.6% to finish at 47,916.

The Nasdaq gained 80 points, 0.4% to close at 22,902.

And the S&P 500 dipped 7 points, 0.1% to end at 68,16%.

For the week, the Dow rose 3%, the Nasdaq was up 4.7%, and the S&P added 3.6%.

The Consumer Price Index, which we were just talking about from March, shows that fruits and vegetables have risen 4% compared to last year.

Let's check in with some of the related companies then, shall we?

Calavo Growers, who are perhaps best known for their avocados, declined 0.2%.

Seneca Foods grew 1.6%, and producer-distributor giant Fresh Talmante dipped 2%.

Bonds fell.
