JARED BLIKRE: I just want to go over some of the stats. We have actually a table that you have compiled on IPOs gaining 100%. Now in your book, you did the research from 1982 to 2017, but you've also just gone and done an update. And some surprising findings here. What did-- what did you looking at?

KATHY DONNELLY: Yeah, you definitely saw that the IPOs from last year to then this data was through July 24, so just through two weeks ago, we're actually doing better than what we found from 1982 to 2017. And we've been running the numbers since 2017 as well, where we've seen that the numbers have come out to be that IPOs are acting normal.

But we're definitely seeing them a little bit better than normal, and I think we have to account for that with this great bull market that we're having. I mean, we-- we went down 30%, 40%, and now we've just powered up. And this is clearly showing that we've got a strong rally. The first year of a new bull market rally is always the strongest, and so our numbers for our IPOs are showing that as well.
