Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money.

From full global headquarters, this is Motley Full Money.

Welcome to Motley Full Money. Thanks for being here.

I'm your host, Chris Hill, joining me in studio this week from Motley Full One, Jason Moser

and for Million Dollar Portfolio Charlie Travers and Ron Gross.

Good to see you, Gents. Hey, hey, you're doing.

We've got the headlines of the week and we will answer your questions by dipping into the full mail back.

Things aren't as strong as I think we're used to.

It would have actually been better if they didn't have some technology expenses for the future for their IT system.

So things are going well. I mean, 90% renewal rates in the US, 87% worldwide, amazing numbers.

The model still works. Everything is absolutely fine with the business.

We just happen to be in a kind of a soft environment right now.
