Good afternoon fellow investors and welcome back to Invest Talk.

My name is Luke Guerrero and today is Friday, May 24th, 2024, which means we almost

made it to another weekend. And this weekend is pretty special for hopefully most of you.

You'll get some relaxing time by yourselves most of you.

You'll get some relaxing time by yourselves or with your families over the next three days.

But before we head off into really what is the last trading week of May,

I can't believe the first half of the year is almost over

we have some work to do because we come here every day with one mission and that is to

leave a better and more informed investor.

Now to accomplish that, we have a mix of things that I want to talk about, some stories that I've read throughout the day,

or some things that I believe are interesting and you should know about,

but more importantly, we hope to hear from you over this

next hour because you are what matters and you drive this conversation forward.

Now that being said, we'll talk about today's market performance and what happened during the week as well as run down the show topics right after we tackle our first caller question now.
