My name is greg and i meant the Vice President shoaf manager for book expo america. A manageable familiar tonight. To this very special occasion. He would not be here this evening if it were not for the support and loyalty the bookselling and Publishing Community spring to us each and every year. For the for an eye for that i think you. [applause]. The fabric of our convention lies in the connections we all make with the authors that appear here. Its been over 100 years of memorable moments since the very First Convention but has two guest of honor. Mark twain in 19 oh one. And since in the book industry has continued to come together to house authors have provided us with thoughtprovoking discussion to say nothing of stimulating entertainment. But all i think i can safely say that nothing has approached the magnitude of this evening

Barrons virtual round table, ben, weve been talking for weeks about how the market is rallying, seeming to ignore the horrible economic news. But this past week investors seemed to notice. Yeah. This was the week that we learned big tech cant hold the market up forever. For a while now, the datas been terrible, but the markets just kept going up on the backs of apple and amazon and microsoft, stocks like that. But this week began with rising tensions for china, and that should really hurt these stocks. When they started to fall, so did the rest of the market. And this week weve been getting some really, really bad data. If you look at the jobless claims, another 2. 6 million or so. Retail sales were awful. Those were released on friday.
