Happy Black Friday. Welcome to Tech Check. I'm Carl Cantanier with Julia Boorston. John and Deirdre have the

morning off today. Searching for a pulse on the consumer. We've got it today, along with the latest

data. Stock moves, winners on this shortened trading day for stocks. Plus more on where

e-com goes from here with an interview you do not want to miss. Shopify's Harley-Finklestink's
