This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business in the Becker Private Equity Podcast. Today's discussion is the markets Microsoft, Amazon and Nvidia. So here's what we're watching today and thank you for listening. First, the markets points up today after what was a brutal week last week thus far. And we'll see if this holds. Today the markets are up about 1%, but mind you, they were up about 1 and a half percent a little while ago. So we'll see if this holds or not. Year to date, the S P is down about 3.55%, 3.57%. The Nasdaq's down about 3.57%. So both about 3, 3.5 to 3.6% or so year to date, the Nasdaq and the S P again so far, the market's up today after a bad week last week. Oil prices are still surging, but some hope that they'll loosen up the Straits of Hormuz and that that will allow oil trade to continue some. Second, Microsoft is down about 18% year to date. That's a big loss. Of course, we're an individual investor in Microsoft. Notwithstanding that the Motley fool says that Microsoft's basically a great buy at its current price. It's down the most of the Magnificent Seven. We've not seen that in a very long time for Microsoft. Again, Motley fool says a terrific buy Next Nvidia is down 3.35% year to date. That still makes it the best performing of the Magnificent Seven. Great question as to whether it could continue its dominance and a great story in the Wall Street Journal about that today. Finally, fourth, Amazon is down about 10% year to date. And again, here's another place where the Motley fool, you know, investment advisory service, whatever exactly they do today. At one point they were just sort of authors. Then they became in the business of money management and advising and research, God only knows, but they say that may be the best growth stock to buy right now. Again, Amazon down about 10% year to date. I'll tell you what, Amazon and Microsoft have in common besides being the two biggest laggards? The Magnificent seven year to date. Those are two stocks that I'm an individual investor in. Thus, you know, you know you can follow what I write, but don't take it as an investment advice because it's not. In any event, thank you for listening to the Becker Business and the Becker Private Equity Podcast Markets Point up Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia and a lot more today.
