This is Scott Becker with the Becker Private Equity and the Becker Business Podcast. Today's discussion is markets surged Friday. Bitcoin jumped. Nvidia also jumped. So so here's the discussion. We'll just go through a few things very quickly. First, the markets had a great rebound on Friday after a horrendous week. The markets jumped. The s P jumped 1.97%, the Nasdaq jumped 2.18% and and the Dow surged to a record past 50,000. So really a great recovery week for the markets. Nvidia also jumped on Friday 7.92%. And I'll just give you the market caps really quick of Nvidia, Apple, Alphabet and Microsoft. Nvidia starts today at 4.51 trillion. The markets are a little bit up this morning. On Monday we'll see if that lasts. Second, Apple's market cap is at 4.09 trillion. Alphabet, Google at 3.91 trillion. And finally Microsoft is down 17% year to date. It opens the date about 2.98 trillion below the 3 trillion mark which it hasn't below for some time. Finally Amazon not going through its market cap but also down 9% year to date and down again today. We'll see how that plays through. The last one we'll talk about this morning is Bitcoin. Bitcoin recovered on Friday to close above $71,000 after being down for some time. Microstrategy, the leverage bitcoin investment firm jumped 26% on Friday to close out a really challenging and up and down week. But close it up on the upside again. Those are three of the big stories we're following right now. Markets rebounded on Friday. They're slightly up today. Nvidia at a market cap of 4.51 trillion after a great day Friday. And Bitcoin also recovered some on Friday back up to above 70,000 again. It's high. A year ago was around 126,000. So it's to going. Got a long way to go to get there.
