Mention the officer that's good and let's talk about Capital One, which was an overbought stock coming into the quarter of the day before it been bent.

0:17.0

There are multiple reasons why Capital One is down.

One of course is the president just taking, you know, cards. I mean, he's taking on Jamie Diamond. Could he take you on them next? They were very dismissive of the president without using his name. Two, they did not make the numbers. I get that. They weren't really involved with that. And three, I think a lot of people didn't even know what company they bought, this company Brex.

1:43.8

It was an EPS miss, operating expenses, a little
