You also have companies like Nvidia, Tesla.
the other chip makers.
The chip makers have been doing well as of late, and our customers have been interested in those.
So I think unlike 2020 and 2021, where there was this dynamic of, I'd call it nostalgia.
A lot of investors, a lot of our customers are millennials.
They were investing in companies that were
in their eyes, unfairly punished by COVID era policies.
So you had retailers like GameStop, movie chains, the airlines, rental car companies.
You wouldn't say that these companies
even optimistically, I think we're at the frontiers of innovation, they're actually due to the market environment and COVID and to some degree, everything going online and streaming or getting disrupted in some sense.
Which is very different from today where our customers are by and large investing in these disruptor companies that are at the frontiers of their industries.
And I think you can debate...
the price to earnings and all of those indicators, but I don't think you can debate that, you know, they're changing the world.
I think that it was a combination of three things that led the product to really resonate.
Number one, you mentioned it, commission-free trading.
When everyone else is charging $7 to $10 per transaction and we're zero, we were both able to unlock a new market of primarily young people who didn't have the $1,000 or $2,000 you needed to get started.
But later we were able to get active traders on the platform as well.
If you're an active trader and you're trading a hundred or a thousand times a month,
you'd put up with a lack of functionality or features relative to other platforms because the value proposition economically is so strong.
So the economics certainly won.
