What do you think of the results and the subsequent market reaction?
I was still shopping on Monday. The company always has a pretty cautious outlook and expectations, but still, the results were great and I may still overbought.
Byzyns is working well, but the problem may be their platform, so we'll see how they do this year.
The results are great and Sofi makes me happy. Just in the last couple of years the stock has grown really well and that growth continues.
