1. And a lot of companies, I think, are in that position where I actually was speaking to someone yesterday and they said, we're just letting the natural attrition in our call centre take care of the shift, which means they lose 25% of people from their call centre naturally. They're just not hiring other people back in. And actually, Klarna's CEO said the same thing. He said, we're just letting the attrition take care of it.

2. Hey everyone, quick reminder, if you want to get a question into us, email us at podcasts@fool.com. That's podcasts with an S. I've also got the email in the show description below. Today's question comes from Cam, and we've been talking a little bit about fintech. Lou, you kind of went a little hard on them last week about it being a, a tough business, but Cam's question is in the fintech industry. He has a question about Klarna. It says, uh, this is going back to its most recent earnings. It looked like a blowout quarter. Every metric was up and up significantly, but the stock dropped 20%. This was, uh, I think the email was right around the time of Klarna's earnings. It looks like this is a challenger to traditional credit card companies, and like, and like, it is making great strides. The price-to-sales ratio seems low, market cap seems a lot of room for growth, and it seems that they are now profitable. What am I missing? Cam, thanks for the question. What do you guys think?

3. Yeah, I think there's a few things going on here. I wouldn't necessarily position Klarna as a, you know, key competitor that's going to outpace the traditional credit card companies. I don't think they have to, but there were a few reasons why the stock has been under pressure recently, especially after their earnings. So they delivered $1 billion in revenue that was up almost 30% year over year. They actually turned a surprise net profit of about $9 million, but they lowered their full-year revenue outlook, and that came in quite a bit below the consensus estimate that analysts had modeled. And management essentially said that they're seeing a major slowdown in discretionary consumer spending in Germany. Well, that matters because Germany is Klarna's largest, most profitable region. They said there was a $600 million foreign currency translation headwind. At the same time, Klarna unexpectedly announced that both their chief financial officer and their chief marketing officer are leaving the company early next year. So kind of a series of bad announcements. The market didn't like it.

4. The market is always forward-looking, and the posted numbers were fine, but there was a lot of dark clouds or gray clouds into the future. You throw in the fact that the entire buy now pay later industry has never had to underwrite through a real downturn. I think that there's reason— I'm not saying they'll fail, but I think we just don't know and we need to accept that and not overvalue these things. I do think there's a real business there. I do think actually it cuts into credit card volumes over time. But look, I'd like to see more of a market cycle play out here before I buy any of them. And if I was going to buy a buy now, pay later, I don't think Klarna would be my first choice.

5. The diesel costs are insane. I mean, I gas up probably twice or three times a week. I have two cars right now trying to get down to one. That's a different story for a different day. But, you know, we can extend Bloomberg. But the— but, but to fill up the Yukon is insane. That is probably $80 to fill up. So I always do half a tank. It's just It's easiest to do half a tank because, you know, I, I don't know, I don't want to pay. And, you know, we talk about this a lot. Like we were going to a lot of concerts this summer, going to concerts and events. I'm like, Affirm and Klarna look really good for the, for young people because they, as you were saying, they want to have good experiences. So how do you make those experiences—
