It's Tuesday, December 31st. Happy New Year's Eve. Welcome to Mark Fullry.

I'm Chris Hill. Just me in the studio.

Maybe the calendar has already flipped to 2020 when you're listening to this.

Maybe not. Maybe you're getting ready for however you plan to ring in the new year,

whether you're going to a party or just having dinner or relaxing in your place with some Netflix or Disney Plus or whatever.

Just want to touch on a couple of things before we say goodbye to 2019.

Again, just me in the studio.

So if this is not your particular brand of bourbon,

then that's fine, you're not going to hurt my feelings. But I am going to bring this

back to investing, so if you are going to listen, stick with me. I got to start with a couple of

thank yous though. Starting with you, we all have different amounts

of money, but we all have the same amount of time in the day and the fact that you choose

to spend part of your waking hours listening to the conversations

that we have in this studio is something that I appreciate more than you know and

I never take it for granted so thank you listening. Thank you for spreading the word to people you know who are

looking to invest and maybe they're looking for a

podcast. And thank you for the reviews by the way. Holy cow.

There have been some amazingly nice reviews lately on Apple Podcast, so thank you for that.

Thank you to all of the analysts who come in to this studio to talk to me. I say this every year because it's true. They're not paid to be here. Jason Moser, Andy Cross, Emily Flippin, Aaron Bush, Ron Gross, everyone who comes in here, Bill Barker, Bill Mann, they're not

paid to be here.

They do it.

Honestly, I'm not entirely sure why they do it, but I appreciate that they do.
