It's Thursday, April 30th.

Welcome to Market Foolry.

I'm Chris Hill.

With me is Mr. Bill Barker.

I'm a little jealous because I see you have coffee

and I rather stupidly didn't make enough this morning.

Well look, hit pause, go get yourself some.

No, no, we're going to...

We're going to roll on.

Listeners will allow you that?

Listeners know that the last thing I need is more coffee, but earning season continues to roll

on.

We've got some consumer goods we're going to talk about. We've got some

fashion retail but we're going to start with a couple of the tech behemoths.

Microsoft and Facebook Microsoft's third quarter profits and revenue came in higher than expected.

The Azure Cloud segment was up 59%. And Facebook's first quarter results

was kind of similar to what we heard out of alphabet, where the ad revenue fell in

March, but Facebook executive saying, this stabilized for us in April and of the two of them Facebook is having the better day

the stock up about 5% or so.

Yeah, I mean we're gonna beat people over the head I guess with the story again and again

that certain large tech companies which are you know in the cloud or otherwise getting most of their revenues from online

experiences you look at their numbers and it just looks all good.
