Regarding microsoft. Some people did not like the quarter but now we have something that puts them right it not passing in terms of the growth google and facebook among a certain demographic that people want which is the 18yearold demographic. I go on tiktok and there is a good one right now about Federal Express delivering packages versus u. P. S. Versus the post office david, your kids may like it at the same time, its got a lot of viewers it does 80 million here in the states. Yes, one of mine does typically it does skew more female than male and the other one doesnt but this is a fascinating situation, guys, for any number of reasons unlike anything i can recall having seen in part because the government is so deeply involved inbasically dictating the potential sale of a business to one company.

Launching that service here in the u. S. Later this month. We are staying at home and we want our groceries and other purchases delivered and quickly. And we are on that story throughout the program today. As for the overall market, dead flat following a selloff on tuesday but keep in mind the dow and s p are up 40 from their march lows and the nasdaq is up 50 since then. Pretty impressive. President trump says he will pressure governors to reopen schools in the fall. This is a major step in getting the economy back on track. Kids go back to school, parents can then go back to work.
