It's Tuesday, June 11th. Welcome to Market Foolery. I'm Chris Hill joining me in studio. Tanned, rested and ready. It's Bill Mann. Thanks for being here.

How are you, Chris? I'm not quite as rested. Yeah. I'm not as tan.

Thanks for bringing the main weather with you. It is fantastic outside. It is
