We haven't seen a 10% correction since Covid hit. The recession we had saw the fastest recovery in history. Risks are inflation rising again; we could see a surprise--or signal of a--rate hike. There are also cybersecurity risks from abroad. Remember that August is seasonally a slow month. We've seen six months of unemployment gains, which could trigger the Fed to change monetary policy. All this could effect the second half of 2021.

EBITDA adjusted was $7 million vs. a $200 million loss last year. This equipment is offered in high-end spas like the Four Seasons. Costs only $200/facial, so anyone can afford it. However, SKIN isn't making money. They're seeing strong growth in Japan. This is a vanity play as we reopen and people want to meet other people. Good CEO who was the head of surgical for Baush.

Crypto and gaming are areas that'll continue to grow, so Nvidia is in a sweet spot to take advantage. This will continue to grow. Revenues and market share continue to rise and impress him.

The second half of the year will be challenging, since the recovery is already baked into stocks.
