You don't usually see that dissension there.

Second, Microsoft and Facebook each reported rate earnings for the last quarter.

Microsoft so far today is up 5% or so.

Early morning pre-market was up closer to 9%.

Meta Platforms, Facebook, the company that Mark Zuckerberg built, one of the big groups of modern commerce, is now up about 12% today, driven a heck of a year.

And I think they're the best performing of the Magnificent Seven so far this year.

Maybe they and NVIDIA are the two best performing companies.

In any event, a great day for the market so far, for Microsoft so far, and meta platforms, Facebook so far.

We'll keep on watching the markets today so you don't have to.

Thank you so much for listening to the Becker Business Podcast, the Becker Private Equity Podcast.

Have a great day today.

Thank you.

Today's discussion is, a sucker is born every minute, the U.S.

And anybody that's a golfer that this will resonate with, or anybody that's a tennis player, anybody that does anything that thinks a new laptop is going to make them a better professional, that a new tennis racket is going to make them a better player,

the new golf course can make them a better golfer when they really need to spend time and money investing in learning and practicing versus buying clubs, buying a computer, buying this tool, buying that tool.

It's like the salesperson says, I can't get started without the new CRM system.

I literally want to tell that salesperson to GFY, but I usually don't.

But the U.S.

putter market proves the case of the suckers born every minute.
