It's Wednesday April 14th. Welcome to Marketflowery. I'm Chris Hill with me today, the one

I know on the Osset Charmer. Thanks for being here.

0:09.6

Chris, thank you for inviting me. Excited to talk about the topics you've got lined up

0:15.2

for us today. We've got retail earnings. We've got Coinbase going public, but we're going
