30 seconds. Be specific, be quick and tell what are you going to be using the funds for. I was nervous to do it because it doesn't feel okay to ask money. But you shouldn't be nervous. Sometimes you just have to do it and see the results. We were able to save my son's life thanks to gofundme that we still have my son with us.

This is Scott Becker with the Becker Business and the Becker Private Equity Podcast did a quick note. Thrilled to see our latest book Building Great businesses become a US 80 day bestseller this week. God bless you all who bought the book. Thank you so much. Here's the Magnificent seven year to date. Four of these are up. Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple and Amazon are up Nvidia and Amazon about 4 to 5%. Alphabet and Apple leading the league at about 13 and a half percent. Three of the Magnificent Seven stocks are down. Microsoft is down the Most, down about 20% year to date. We're an owner directly in Microsoft, so we feel that Meta platforms down about 12% and Tesla down about 12 and a half percent. But don't worry too much about Elon, Musk and Tesla, even though they're down 12 and a half percent. SpaceX, which is not on this list but maybe should be, it's now one of the six largest market cap companies, is up 8% since its IPO with now a market cap of about 2.13 trillion. But again, the magnificent seven 4Up Nvidia, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon 3Down Microsoft, Tesla, Meta Platforms. We hope you find this interesting. We certainly enjoy it. Thank you for listening to the Becker Business and the Becker Private Equity podcast. And thank you to our great producer Chanel Bunger. Thank you very much.
