It's Monday, January 30th, and this is Market Fullry.

I'm Chris Ellen joining me in studio today for Motleyville Stock Advisor, Jason Moser,

I'm going to go on a limb, no offense to Pep Boys, and assume that there are probably some

efficiencies that could be wrung out on the tech side.

They'll go in and do that, under invest in the brand,
