Deidre Woollard: Welcome to Motley Idiot Cash. Right now we’re trying on the debut of Warner Bros. Discovery available on the market, Elon Musk and his relationship with Twitter’s board, and a possible vendor revolt on Etsy. [MUSIC] I am Deidre Woollard sitting in for Chris Hill, and I’m joined by Motley Idiot Senior Analyst Tim Beyers. Hello Tim, welcome to the present.

Tim Beyers: Good to see you once more, Deidre.

Deidre Woollard: Good to see you too. Right now’s the primary day that Warner Bros. Discovery trades available on the market as tickered WBD. That is after the 43 billion greenback takeover of Warner Brothers from AT&T. It is an attention-grabbing mixture of manufacturers that it brings collectively as a result of this new firm brings collectively HBO, CNN, TBS, and the Warner Brothers Studios, then on the opposite aspect with Discovery, you’ve got obtained Meals Community, HGTV, Magnolia, an entire bunch of issues. I believe that is actually attention-grabbing while you begin enthusiastic about the streaming wars, the potential for streaming fatigue. HBO has HBO Max, CNN’s obtained CNN Plus, there’s Discovery Plus. What are you enthusiastic about all of this and this new firm?

Tim Beyers: I believe it is attention-grabbing, and I believe it’s a necessity. I believe what’s essentially the most attention-grabbing factor about it’s it pulls collectively quite a lot of discrete and completely different content material right into a bundle of content material that I believe, at the very least, these executives are hoping they get some scale out of as a result of they have been attempting to promote HBO Max individually, they usually’ll in all probability proceed to try this, or possibly there will likely be a bunch of various bundles. As we get increasingly area of interest as customers, as a result of that is taking place, we have now a bunch of area of interest bundles which are out there. Then a few of these area of interest bundles are coming collectively. Most likely the most effective, possibly, packaging of a distinct segment bundle that I can consider is on the Disney aspect of issues the place you’ve gotten Disney Plus. Then if you wish to, you improve and get Hulu, which is just a little little bit of possibly dramatic common programmatic TV. Then you’ll be able to have ESPN Plus with that, so that you get Sports activities ball, plus Marvel, plus serial drama. I believe that is taking place increasingly. There may be, I believe, an argument to be made that, in a world the place the streaming wars aren’t zero-sum, Deidre, however there are solely so many subscribers on the earth. There is a little bit of a content material overload to the diploma you could create a bundle bundle that’s engaging to a restricted set of customers, you actually have one thing. I believe we’re coming into the part of the market the place there’s going to be some pure crowding out of some area of interest bundles, and Warner Bros. Discovery does not need to be crowded out.

Deidre Woollard: That is very true. However they’re very several types of content material. You concentrate on HBO and that kind of factor, that could be very completely different. You need to be streaming that, there’s issues which are talked about, issues which are buzzy. On the opposite aspect, Discovery appears to me one thing like HGTV or the Meals Community, typically you simply let it run. It isn’t essentially appointment tv. For those who’re attempting to run these two manufacturers collectively, what are the challenges you would possibly face?

Tim Beyers: I believe the most important problem you would possibly face is in case you are operating quite a lot of your income by the promoting channel, you are going to have a pretty big operation as a result of you’ll be operating discrete varieties of promoting, and it will be very completely different throughout these manufacturers as you level out, Deidre. So you must run a reasonably data-driven, fairly well-organized, well-orchestrated, and fairly various group to seize your whole income throughout all of that. For those who’re operating extra of a subscription-driven model, I believe it is just a little bit completely different. It is in all probability going to be a mixture of each. CNN is just not going to cease operating advertisements, and CNN Plus appears to be like just a little completely different. I believe there will be actual worth, if a holding firm, and this case, that is what actually we’re speaking about right here, we’re speaking a few holding firm that has quite a lot of completely different manufacturers. You could possibly nearly consider that holding firm as having quite a lot of completely different particular content material corporations beneath it. CNN being materially completely different from the Discovery channel, being materially completely different from HBO, and so forth. How they orchestrate this, I believe, will likely be attention-grabbing, notably from the promoting aspect of issues. If it had been me, I might be completely different subscription tiers and truly getting actually granular with how you might supply very distinct subscription tiers to the varied clients who may enroll, like, do I simply need, for instance, varied HBO properties with just a little little bit of CNN thrown in? There must be a subscription tier for that to make my subscription match me. That is the world we’re shifting towards. You need “my subscription to suit me”, and so then I can get to a spot the place my price range {dollars} match what my content material need is as a result of the choice is all of this stuff come collectively, and also you’re again to cable, and that’s going to result in an enormous quantity of frustration for customers. So in case you will be the one which helps lead on this space, which I believe they’ll, as a result of they do have quite a lot of knowledge, they usually do have quite a lot of fascinating properties, in case you might be the one that offers me the, my-size-fits-me bundle, I believe you’ve got actually obtained one thing, Deidre.

Deidre Woollard: Fascinating. For those who’re an investor on this firm, you may in all probability be promoting income. You may be subscriber rely. What different kinds of metrics ought to traders be enthusiastic about to guage how nicely this firm goes to be doing sooner or later?

Tim Beyers: You definitely need engagement metrics, so variety of hours. Content material consumption is necessary as a result of it’s tougher to do rankings while you’re speaking about simply Web-delivered TV. I am undecided about most individuals, however I believe I am seeing this much more, the place much less shopping for of TVs and extra of shopping for huge pc screens, and your pc turns into the supply machine for lots of your leisure. I believe that is taking place at an growing scale. If that is true, then the metrics that these corporations ship to us to point out issues like engagement, it is in all probability going to even be issues like social engagement, that’ll be attention-grabbing to look at. Then on the finish of the day, it does all come right down to money stream to the diploma that free money stream margins begin to improve will, I believe, dictate success for an organization like this. However we actually will see. Engagement ought to comply with stickiness and subscriptions, which ought to comply with money stream. Nevertheless it’s just a little little bit of a shrug emoji at this level, Deidre.

Deidre Woollard: [laughs] Certainly. Talking of shrug emojis, [laughs] let’s transfer on to our subsequent story, which is, we will be speaking about Elon Musk once more. He retains taking on the information, and yeah, I do know. This week he introduced that he’s not becoming a member of the board of Twitter after he took a 9.2 % stake within the firm. He’s Twitter’s greatest shareholder. The information got here out after a weekend through which Elon, who has 81.3 million followers on Twitter, questioned whether or not or not Twitter is dying, even stating that Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber hadn’t tweeted shortly. So actually enthusiastic about why have we had the forwards and backwards right here? After we had been speaking earlier than this present, you talked about that he filed two separate SEC filings. My goodness, he is had his time with the SEC. Truly, we’re not thrilled with this.

Tim Beyers: The primary one, on April 4th, was we have taken this by his lawyer, I consider 9.2 % stake within the firm. There is a letter of settlement with Twitter through which he will likely be collaborating on the board, and there are circumstances in that letter, and he will not purchase greater than 14.9 % of the shares excellent. In order that was factor no 1, that was April 4th. Then April eleventh, efficient at the moment, primarily saying, you understand what, what we mentioned final week, ignore that. That did not occur. I am not going to be on the board anymore. There’s been an entire lot of fuzziness round his precise filings. The primary one was the 13G submitting. I consider that was again in March. A 13G submitting, for individuals who do not know, is for a passive stake. In different phrases, I am not going to be an activist investor, I am simply holding this as a result of I need to make investments on this firm. For those who file the 13D, which is the final two, you make an announcement about desirous to get entangled with the corporate. I am taking an lively stake as a result of I will be an activist investor. So it is all actually unusual and bizarre. Deidre, I believe it is in all probability higher that he does the Homer Simpson backing-into-the-bushes kind of emoji response, like, “Overlook I used to be right here.” I believe that is in all probability the easiest way for him to be a Twitter investor as a result of he’ll keep engaged with the platform. He is in all probability going to carry a significant stake. This is what I guess will occur from this level on, even when he isn’t on the board. He will begin throwing Twitter bombs into his feed saying, we have to do that, and we have to do this. You realize what, if he isn’t on the board, he can do this. That’s actually Musk at his Muskiest. [laughs] You realize what I imply?

Deidre Woollard: I do. I believe we may additionally see the opposite choice although, the place as an alternative of being on the board, he needs the liberty to get greater than that 14.9 % stake that was in that settlement. He may utterly go the opposite method. He is already been fairly Musk-y on Twitter speaking in regards to the edit button, which, in fact, Twitter has been engaged on for over a 12 months and shortly needed to say, “No, we have been engaged on this. It isn’t the results of a ballot that [laughs] somebody put up.” I believe it is actually fascinating. The opposite factor, although, if I am a Tesla shareholder, possibly I am just a little nervous that Elon is spreading himself too skinny. He is a captivating particular person. He is a really good man. However, my goodness, he does wish to be in quite a lot of completely different companies and going at quite a lot of completely different instructions. His core firm, Tesla, has some considerations. There are some issues taking place proper now. There’s points in Shanghai that would have an effect on Tesla. Does this turn into a distraction? For those who’re a Tesla shareholder, do you surprise, like, possibly you simply stick with the factor that is most necessary?

Tim Beyers: I need to say sure to that. However let’s, at the very least, lay out what’s factually true. Is it not true that Elon Musk, by any regular commonplace, has all the time been distracted. Is that not true?

Deidre Woollard: Yeah, very true.

Tim Beyers: He is had SpaceX. He is had Tesla. He is had The Boring Firm. He is had 1,000,000 issues, 1,000,000 distractions. This can be a man, I believe we will pretty say, has a multithreaded mind. In different phrases, what I imply by that’s he is carrying quite a lot of ideas in his mind at precisely the identical time, and what he’s doing is attempting to get all of it out, and it appears to be like actually scattershot and unusual, and but he finds a approach to make it work. So for you and I, I believe the reply is, yeah, that is actually distracting. However for Elon Musk, I do not know if we have now hit the purpose of crimson alert but as a result of he is all the time been like this. Now, let me take the opposite aspect of my very own argument, which is that if he’s not going to have management over Twitter, and what it does seem is that he will not have management over Twitter, then is it something greater than a supply of frustration for him to get fixated on issues he truly cannot management whereas taking time away from issues he can management, which is SpaceX, Tesla, The Boring Firm? What has been true up so far is the issues which are distractions for him are issues that he can management. By and huge, Twitter is a factor he cannot management, and which may be completely different and extra harmful. So yeah, I do assume it is just a little bit regarding. Nevertheless, once more, you see the framing Musk being Musk-y, this has all the time been him. He has all the time been a multithreaded thinker.

Deidre Woollard: Or you might additionally name him the patron saint of the aspect hustle as a result of it is like a passion for him. That provides us a pleasant transition to speak about aspect hustles. I need to discuss Etsy and the information out of there with this short-term sellers’ strike taking place proper now, actually attention-grabbing factor that is taking place inside that platform. About 15,000 sellers have signed a petition that they are taking a trip from promoting. That is all of the protest. The costs on transactions which are going as much as 6.5 %, up from 5 %, not an enormous proportion of sellers are doing this, however sufficient that it is positively inflicting some consideration. It is attention-grabbing. It is taking place proper now. Mom’s Day, I believe, is developing quickly. That is all the time a giant Etsy second. Do you assume that that is sufficient of a vendor pause that customers are even going to note?

Tim Beyers: Right here is one other one the place I need to say sure, however we should be clear that strikes or group round strikes have occurred prior to now, they usually have not had a cloth impression on Etsy’s enterprise. This has occurred many instances. Sellers do get indignant. They do protest, after which there are huge organizations often round Reddit. Then, the folks that resolve to undergo with it are usually not as many as earlier than. How huge is the dedication right here to the sellers talking up? I haven’t got a basic disagreement with the sellers right here. I do not really feel like I can touch upon that. I’ll say, Deidre, what I did was I requested the questions of individuals right here at The Motley Idiot who’re both sellers or patrons on Etsy and what they thought of it. I’ll give the final consensus of what I discovered. The overall consensus was it feels just a little awful that Etsy is doing this and possibly not all that justified as a result of it is a captive viewers, and they’re sticking it to their captive viewers just a little bit.

On the opposite aspect of it, mainly, no person mentioned they had been going to cease shopping for from Etsy as a result of it is the place the place you get distinctive items. It does serve an actual goal. Then there have been some actually nice knowledge that one in all our coworkers, Liv Sagan, mentioned to me, who described the worth proposition for Etsy that I assumed was actually fascinating. Principally, what it boils right down to is if in case you have a product that’s not tremendous well-known but however does have just a little little bit of an viewers, then Etsy is unbelievable for you as a result of they purchase you site visitors. However if in case you have a very talked-about product, and you may get discovered distinctly already by simply conventional search, you do not want Etsy. There is a distinct viewers for Etsy the place it offers actual worth, and it is not essentially on the prime finish. It is in that very broad center, which is why Etsy, general financially, has been a reasonably good enterprise. So yeah, I am with the sellers on this, but additionally just a little bit empathetic to the place Etsy is as a result of they do present some worth, however you need the sellers to get essentially the most out of this that they probably can. My web on this, Deidre, is that it is in all probability not going to have a large impression to Etsy as a result of it does present some very clear and distinct worth to sure sellers, they usually’re not going to need to jeopardize that. However it’s a little unseemly. I believe it could be unfair to say anything from my perspective.

Deidre Woollard: I might take into consideration this from a broader perspective by way of constructing your online business on any platform. We have seen this prior to now. Issues like constructing your online business on Fb or Instagram after which having your account shut down or one thing like that. I believe that is one thing that small companies are all the time conserving in thoughts. I like what you mentioned there about it being that leaping off level. There are different issues. It is humorous as a result of we have now these platforms which have moved us away from particular person promoting on web sites. However then we return to web sites in case you’re a small enterprise proprietor as a result of that is the factor you’ll be able to management. Actually the top objective is when you construct up an viewers on another platform, you need to get them into your individual ecosystem. We even see this on Airbnb, that after you seize a few of these vacationers, you need to get them into your individual mailing record and have them refer, and get out of the platform. I believe you’ve got obtained one thing bigger right here, which I believe is actually attention-grabbing.

Tim Beyers: I believe the identical factor. I agree with you utterly right here. The query is, so if Etsy is serving as a staging space for some entrepreneurs, is {that a} good enterprise or is it unhealthy to be a staging space as a result of persons are naturally desirous to get off of your platform? Or is being the staging space a superb everlasting enterprise thought as a result of some artistic entrepreneurs are all the time going to wish the staging space? I believe that could be a respectable query. I’ll let you know, I’ve thought of this. I believe some companies all the time want the staging space. Two issues will be true on the identical time. The staging space is critical and there is a value to it. Then, good for entrepreneurs, get your self to the purpose the place you get sufficient scale that you do not have to pay the Etsy tax anymore. I believe these two issues will be true on the identical time and Etsy will be nice, [MUSIC] and we get extra artistic entrepreneurs as nicely. I believe that is a superb final result.

Deidre Woollard: That may be a good final result, and I believe it is also a probable final result at this level.

Tim Beyers: Identical.

Deidre Woollard: Thanks a lot for becoming a member of me at the moment.

Tim Beyers: Thanks, Deidre.

Deidre Woollard: [MUSIC] For the second half of the present, you are going to get just a little bit extra of me as I focus on Redfin and Zillow with Motley Idiot actual property analyst, Matt Argersinger. For those who’ve obtained opinions on that, go forward tag Motley Idiot Cash on Twitter. We would love to listen to your ideas and know which firm you’ve got obtained your eye on. [MUSIC] I am right here with Matt Argersinger, the lead investor on our Cellular and Actual Property Winners providers right here on the Motley Idiot. We’ll speak at the moment about two fashionable corporations in the true property business, Redfin and Zillow. Zillow’s in all probability extra of a family identify than Redfin, however lots of people are interested by Redfin versus Zillow in the true property house. However they’re two completely different corporations, proper, Matt?

Matt Argersinger: Sure and no, Deidre. By the best way, it is nice to be with you at the moment. I believe each Redfin and Zillow are sometimes characterised by traders as disruptors, as they’re now disrupting the true property business. However, in reality, at their core, each are merely trying to optimize and monetize conventional house shopping for and promoting, simply in several methods. Zillow has constructed on this ecosystem that connects potential patrons or sellers with brokers through its premier agent enterprise, or typically the homebuilders, if the customer’s trying to purchase a brand new development house. It additionally connects debtors to lenders or to its personal mortgage origination providers, Zillow Dwelling Loans. It additionally helps renters discover properties and residences to lease and landlords discover tenants. I’ve to say my spouse and I’ve used Zillow’s rental platform fairly a bit prior to now to search out tenants for our rental models. In order that’s Zillow. Redfin can also be attempting to attach patrons and sellers on-line or by a well-liked app. However at its core, Redfin is a deeply discounted brokerage. It employs brokers and presents sellers and patrons huge reductions and fee rebates. In that method, it is extra labor-intensive than Zillow. However like Zillow, Redfin additionally connects patrons to brokers outdoors its personal community, and it has a mortgage origination enterprise as nicely, Redfin Mortgage, and presents title providers. In a method, each are persevering with the age-old mannequin of how we purchase, promote, and finance properties on this nation. I believe they simply have barely completely different fashions.

Deidre Woollard: Completely. I like what you mentioned about ecosystem as a result of I believe that is an necessary factor to grasp about each of those companies. Zillow famously exited the iBuying enterprise lately. They needed to let go a bunch of workers. As an alternative, they’ve pivoted their focus to what they’re calling the tremendous app. They talked about this on their final earnings name. They need to convey collectively the entire completely different components of the true property shopping for course of. We’re seeing so many corporations attempt to pull this off. Is Zillow the one which’s going to have the ability to make it occur?

Matt Argersinger: I believe such as you, Deidre, I am just a little skeptical. [laughs] However I believe let’s not neglect Zillow’s reputation. It has 200 million month-to-month distinctive guests to its website. It is by far the #1 actual property app within the nation. I believe it nonetheless has 4 million-plus customers a day, which is thrice the following competitor. I believe persons are desirous of a one-stop-shop for getting or renting a house. So I believe there’s quite a lot of advantage to what CEO Wealthy Barton is attempting to do there. However I believe the execution goes to be actually difficult. Even with that huge lead in site visitors, anytime you make huge adjustments to what’s already a well-liked app with so many individuals, I believe you run the danger of damaging consumer expertise. I do not know. What do you concentrate on that, Deidre?

Deidre Woollard: The recognition is a giant a part of what makes Zillow Zillow. The truth that it that everyone refers to happening Zillow at evening and issues. The truth that it was spooked on SNL, all of that has made Zillow like Google. It is anytime an organization turns into a verb that that is all the time thought-about a superb signal. I am actually questioning in regards to the ways in which Zillow can extract extra worth from the transaction although, and I am actually enthusiastic about the transfer into mortgage that we’re seeing each Zillow and Redfin do. Zillow additionally purchased ShowingTime final 12 months. It is a scheduling service for brokers. They’re simply beginning to combine it now into their bigger ecosystem. That phrase once more. I nonetheless really feel like their greatest success is after they’re partnered brokers and brokerages. That is what they’ve all the time carried out, though brokers and brokerages complain loudly about Zillow. Promoting leads remains to be the first income, and I do not see that altering. I believe one of many causes they obtained into iBuying within the first place was to attempt to discover that different income stream. It did not work then. I do not need to see them put vitality towards one thing else which may not work out the identical method. I am enthusiastic about that with Redfin too as a result of they lately purchased mortgage lender Bay Fairness Dwelling Loans. That deal closed lately. They purchased RentPath, which is a rental service. I am questioning, with Redfin, if they are going to have the ability to combine these new providers and what it means for the corporate.

Matt Argersinger:To me, these acquisitions are necessary items of the identical, I believe, creator puzzle that Zillow is attempting to place collectively. Redfin, too, needs to turn into this extra full ecosystem, there’s that phrase once more, of options to the touch on all features of actual property shopping for, promoting, and renting, and lending as nicely. So if these acquisitions are built-in efficiently, then I believe Redfin can meaningfully improve its complete addressable market. I believe that is actually what they’re attempting to do. In the event that they do this, then the general enterprise I believe turns into stickier for customers and every consumer generates extra long run worth of the corporate as a result of they’re utilizing all these completely different providers on the identical time. By the best way, I’ve to say I believe the rental enterprise, general, is actually underrated. {The marketplace} is so fragmented. We noticed CoStar purchase Residences.com. I believe that was final 12 months. I believe similar to the net journey market proceed to be dominated by a couple of massive platforms or portals over the previous decade, I see that enjoying out within the rental market as nicely. I believe Redfin’s acquisition is sensible in that context.

Deidre Woollard: I agree with that. Matt, you and I’ve talked rather a lot about bubble versus no bubble in the case of the housing market. I believe we’re lastly going to get an actual sense of motion available in the market taking place proper now. Simply this week, mortgage charges hit their highest degree in a decade. We’re now over 5 %. I am beginning to hear just a bit little bit of speak available in the market of issues staying available on the market longer, even some worth reductions, type of wonderful. That hasn’t occurred for some time. Based mostly on the truth that Zillow and Redfin are in related companies, however barely completely different, how’s the gradual in market going to impression every of them?

Matt Argersinger: Proper, [laughs] I believe you and I had been firmly within the no bubble camp for a very long time, however now [laughs] with charges going up, it tipped our hand just a little bit. I believe greater charges are beginning to have an effect. You noticed the Mortgage Bankers Affiliation, I believe it was final week they got here out with knowledge that confirmed mortgage purposes had been down 41 % from a 12 months in the past. That is an enormous drop. We have seen slower gross sales of present properties thus far this 12 months. I do know a few of that’s associated to the gradual provide that we have had happening for fairly some time. However I believe as for Zillow and Redfin, I believe each undergo in a gradual or at the very least the declining housing market. The gasoline for these one-stop-shop tremendous app actual property companies is its house transactions. If transactions decline, it cascades all through the enterprise, much less eyeballs imply much less lead technology for brokers and lenders. Lenders’ income progress will gradual, excessive earnings will fall. What do you assume, Deidre?

Deidre Woollard: I believe that that’s true to some extent. I am questioning if a slowing market is just a little bit higher for Zillow, simply because Zillow is lead-driven, and one of many issues that Zillow has seen in latest months, they’ve nonetheless been getting loads of revenue from their lead enterprise. However brokers have not wanted it as a lot as a result of the market has been so scorching, and the leads have been beating a path to their door. They extra wanted vendor leads than purchaser leads. Slowing market does imply extra reliance from the brokers and brokers on lead technology. The factor I take into consideration although is that second that we had firstly of the pandemic when shopping for froze, and Redfin needed to minimize their area agent stuff by 41 %, solely briefly as a result of then abruptly they wanted extra brokers than ever they needed to depend on accomplice brokers, they needed to step up once more. However I am questioning, relying on how this works out, it may actually shock Redfin. I believe that is one thing to remember as nicely.

Matt Argersinger:I agree. Redfin being, I believe the extra asset-heavy, capital-heavy enterprise, labor-intensive enterprise, I suppose is the proper approach to say. I am a shareholder in each Zillow and Redfin. I do not assign quite a lot of worth to that as a result of I personal near 100 shares as you understand, Deidre. [laughs] However proper now I believe if I do know the housing market is slowing down, and I needed to resolve between the 2, I might attempt to lean Zillow. Because of this, I believe it is extra fashionable. It is obtained a lot extra site visitors, so many extra eyeballs. As we talked about earlier, it is a greater model. There’s extra consciousness. It has extra mindshare for patrons. It exited the iBuying enterprise. Whereas that was painful, I believe in the long term it was in all probability the good transfer. Redfin’s sticking with it for now. However as soon as they absolutely exited, I believe Zillow goes to have near $2 billion in web money on the steadiness sheet. Like I mentioned, it is extra of an asset-light enterprise so its revenue margins must be greater than Redfin’s over time. I believe each corporations have compelling futures. I simply assume Zillow’s appears to be like just a little brighter proper now.

Deidre Woollard: Yeah, I believe it is attention-grabbing. Zillow is clearly the a lot greater firm. I believe what you mentioned there about asset gentle could be very attention-grabbing, and that 2 billion {dollars} in web money, that is good. It offers them some room to mess around just a little bit, however hopefully not an excessive amount of enjoying round. However I like Redfin’s probabilities as a result of I really feel like they’re sticking to their knitting on an present tried-and-true enterprise mannequin. They’re making it just a bit bit higher. I just like the optionality rather a lot within the firm. I really feel the method to iBuying has been rather more cautious, and I believe that is actually good. I simply love the CEO Glenn Kelman. Such as you, I see that large potential in extracting worth from leases. That is actually what I will be in search of on the approaching earnings name. I am leaning just a little bit towards Redfin simply because I believe it has a lot extra room. However actually, I nonetheless love each of those corporations. Matt, this was superior. I may speak to you about this topic all day, [MUSIC] however I do know we have now to finish it right here, so thanks for the dialog.

Matt Argersinger: You guess, and look how we ended. Redfin versus Zillow, the talk continues. [laughs]

Deidre Woollard: Completely.

Matt Argersinger: Thanks, Deidre.

So do not buy or promote any shares based mostly solely on what you hear. I am Deidre Woollard, thanks for listening. We’ll see you tomorrow.
