Summary

We're talking market caps, Fool! And unlike Andy Cross and Jim Mueller, our game show contestants here in the studio, you get to play at home and out of the spotlight! But no one is off the hook as we put price tags on companies we love, companies our spouses hate, and companies we have never even heard of.

Companies Discussed: PANW, ABNB, ASML, CELH, PCOR, KYMR, MELI, ETSY, BOC, MA

Host: David Gardner
Guests: Andy Cross, Jim Mueller
Producer: Rick Engdahl
