HireQuest's Offer Provides Superior Value to TrueBlue's Stand-Alone Prospects
GOOSE CREEK, SC / <a href="https://www.accessnewswire.com/">ACCESS Newswire</a> / May 19, 2025 / HireQuest, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HQI#NASDAQ">HQI</a>) today issued the following statements in response to the announcement by TrueBlue, Inc. (TBI) that its Board of Directors has rejected HireQuest's previously announced proposal to acquire TrueBlue for $7.50 per share.
"We are disappointed that despite the positive response to our offer from TrueBlue shareholders, TrueBlue's Board not only continues to refuse to engage with us to discuss our offer but has even taken steps to deter their shareholders' ability to weigh in," said Rick Hermanns, Chief Executive Officer of HireQuest.
"The TrueBlue response does not change our belief in the compelling strategic and financial merits of our proposal. We are offering shareholders both a step up in value at closing and the opportunity to participate in the upside of the combined company. For nearly two years, we've made repeated efforts to engage with TrueBlue's Board and management about a strategic combination, however, unfortunately, they've shown no willingness to even consider an alternative path - despite overseeing a decline from $2.8 billion in revenue and $134 million in EBITDA in 2016 to $1.6 billion in revenue and negative EBITDA today."
Mr. Hermanns went on to say, "The existing TrueBlue strategy, and specifically that of PeopleReady, is no longer competitive in the dynamic economic environment that seems to have become the new norm for the industry. Per Staffing Industry Analysts, the company has underperformed the industry seven out of the last eight years. Conversely, we believe HireQuest's franchise model and flexible operating platform not only performs throughout economic cycles, but it is uniquely suited to arrest TrueBlue's downward spiral."
HireQuest has outlined the specific benefits of transforming TrueBlue's business model in its TrueBlue Merger Presentation which has been filed with the SEC and which can be viewed on the company's Investor Relations webpage (<a href="https://investors.hirequest.com/events-presentations">https://investors.hirequest.com/events-presentations</a>). HireQuest encourages all TrueBlue shareholders to review it and reach out with any questions.
"We are convinced of the enormous upside to be achieved through a strategic combination and feel compelled to take this directly to TrueBlue's shareholders," said Hermanns. "We believe our franchise-based approach to staffing will unlock value currently hidden within the company by converting PeopleReady offices into entrepreneur-driven independently owned businesses."
"Our $7.50 per share offer represents a compelling premium, and while we believe it's fair, we remain open to increasing it as well as potentially adding a material cash component if TrueBlue's leadership chooses to engage in good faith discussions. Our goal has always been to structure a friendly, mutually beneficial transaction, and that has not changed."
Hermanns concluded by saying, "The ultimate question we are posing to shareholders is: Would you rather invest in a larger, higher-margin combined company at $7.50 per share, or invest at a much lower pre-offer price in an unprofitable company trying to turn itself around from a decade of declines? We have a winning solution here and are excited to bring it to the TrueBlue's shareholders."

HireQuest CEO Rick Hermanns Expresses Disappointment Over Trueblue's Rejection Of Acquisition Proposal; Urges Board To Engage With Shareholders

Evercore ISI Group analyst David Raso maintains Parker Hannifin (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PH#NYSE">PH</a>) with a Outperform and raises the price target from $824 to $827.

Evercore ISI Group Maintains Outperform on Parker Hannifin, Raises Price Target to $827

On CNBC's &#8220;Mad Money Lightning Round,&#8221; Jim Cramer said Archer Aviation Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACHR#NYSE">ACHR</a>) is a &#8220;bridge <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ACHR/earnings">too far&#8221; for him</a>.
On the earnings front, Archer Aviation, on May 12, reported a first-quarter loss of 17 cents per share, beating analyst estimates for a loss of 28 cents per share, according to Benzinga Pro.
Universal Technical Institute, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTI#NYSE">UTI</a>) can &#8220;continue to go higher because it fits the thesis of what we expect in an era of AI and the need to be on your game in non-AI jobs,&#8221; Cramer said.
Supporting his view, Universal Technical Institute, on May 7, reported better-than-expected second-quarter financial results and raised its FY25 sales guidance above estimates.
When asked about Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>), Cramer recommended going with Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>), which is a &#8220;much cheaper&#8221; stock.
Supporting his view, Arista Networks, on May 6, reported a first-quarter sales miss.
Cramer recommended to &#8220;ring the register&#8221; on some Sezzle Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEZL#NASDAQ">SEZL</a>) as it has gotten a &#8220;little too hot.&#8221;
On the earnings front, Sezzle reported better-than-expected first-quarter financial results and raised its FY25 guidance on May 8.
When asked about Rocket Lab USA, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RKLB#NASDAQ">RKLB</a>), he said, &#8220;I was skeptical, but so many companies need to put up rockets, I think it's actually a decent story.&#8221;
Rocket Lab announced on May 14 that it successfully returned its Pioneer spacecraft supporting Varda Space Industries' capsule to Earth.
&#8220;Normally it would be good to have the analytics involving commercial real estate, but right now commercial real estate is not doing well in this country,&#8221; Cramer said when asked about CoStar Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSGP#NASDAQ">CSGP</a>). &#8220;It does make money, though, but it's not for me.&#8221;
On April 29, CoStar Group reported a first-quarter adjusted EPS miss and issued second-quarter revenue guidance below estimates.
Viper Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VNOM#NASDAQ">VNOM</a>) is &#8220;not my cup of tea,&#8221; Cramer said.
Supporting his view, Viper Energy posted weaker-than-expected sales for the first quarter on May 5.
When asked about Fiserv, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FI#NYSE">FI</a>), he said, &#8220;This was just a disaster, and I've got to know more because I don't like what I'm hearing.&#8221;
As per the recent news, Fiserv, on May 6, named Michael Lyons as CEO.

Evercore ISI Group Maintains Underperform on Illinois Tool Works, Lowers Price Target to $249

Last week brought the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45394076/cpi-undershoots-but-core-inflation-stays-stubborn-jp-morgan">latest CPI numbers</a> for the US dollar. The 2.3% reading indicated that inflation moved one step closer to the 2% target. Naturally, this number also supports the desire for the Fed&#8217;s monetary relaxation through rate cuts. Alongside the pause of China&#8217;s tariffs, the result was a nearly 3% surge in the S&amp;P 500, which has staged a V-shaped recovery, moving to a striking distance near the all-time highs. 
The same cannot be said for the US dollar, which, although losing nearly 10% peak-to-trough in 2025, has only recovered about 3% of that, weighted by the Moody&#8217;s US credit rating downgrade. The Australian dollar, an important <a href="https://singaporeforexclub.com/commodity-currencies">commodity currency</a>, has fared better but hit multiple resistance levels last week and, despite good employment numbers, has started to decline. Australian dollar bearish trend continuation should be in focus over the next few weeks, particularly with the anticipated rate cut on Tuesday.
Other notable news in the week ahead will include the latest Canadian and British CPI, German PMI,&nbsp; and Canadian retail sales.

<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Tuesday: AUD – Interest Rate Decision, CAD &#8211; CPI</li>

<li>Friday: GBP – Retail Sales, CAD – Retail Sales</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Pairs In Focus</h2>
1.EUR JPY
EUR JPY has been one of the top range-bound pairs in 2025 so far. The pair has mostly moved between 161 support and 164 resistance, with rare peaks above and below under extreme circumstances.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="482" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104450/EURJPY_2025-05-18_21-59-40-1024x482.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13089" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104450/EURJPY_2025-05-18_21-59-40-1024x482.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104450/EURJPY_2025-05-18_21-59-40-300x141.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104450/EURJPY_2025-05-18_21-59-40-768x362.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104450/EURJPY_2025-05-18_21-59-40.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
EUR/JPY Daily Chart, Source: TradingView
After a short rally and a brief touch of 164.500, it has reverted below once again, heightening the possibility of testing the key level around 161.150. Retail sentiment is nearly 70% long, making this pair a good forex short-selling candidate.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">2. GBP SGD</h3>
GBP/SGD tested the key support last week, and the level of 1.71450 held the pullback. The recent movement further solidified the thesis that the short-term bottom occurred earlier this month.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="478" src="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104433/GBPSGD_2025-05-18_21-58-51-1024x478.png" alt="" class="wp-image-13088" srcset="https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104433/GBPSGD_2025-05-18_21-58-51-1024x478.png 1024w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104433/GBPSGD_2025-05-18_21-58-51-300x140.png 300w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104433/GBPSGD_2025-05-18_21-58-51-768x358.png 768w,https://contributor-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/19104433/GBPSGD_2025-05-18_21-58-51.png 1200w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></figure>
GBP/SGD Daily Chart, Source: TradingView
Therefore, the price is expected to move higher, testing the resistance at 1.73800, which is the first target above the market.
Notes:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>AUD/NZD: Hit the weekly resistance, but it remains relatively bullish compared to other AUD pairs.</li>
<li>AUD CAD: Briefly broke the 0.89 resistance before moving lower. The next move might test the support at 0.88400.</li>
<li>AUD/CHF: It remains forming a bearish flag. The lower trendline on the daily chart is worth watching for potential breakouts.</li>
<li>AUD/SGD: Swept the stops above the market before a big move lower toward the end of the week. The trend is bearish.</li>
<li>AUD/JPY:  Hit the resistance around 95.600 before a big move lower. Support to watch below is 90.500.</li>
<li>CAD/JPY: A new higher high was established, but the trend remains uncertain until a higher low is established. The support to watch is 103.300.</li>
<li>CHF JPY: For the fifth week in a row, failed to break above 176 resistance. The likely move would be to test 172 support.</li>
<li>EUR/AUD: Gapped below the 1.74300 support, but closed the gap before the end of the week. The intermediate trend is bearish, but long-term trend is bullish, adding to uncertainty.</li>
<li>EUR NZD: Remains range-bound without clear <a href="https://singaporeforexclub.com/forex-price-action">price action</a>.</li>
<li>GBP AUD: It shows signs of short-term bottoming, but it has to break above 2.08400 to confirm the next leg up.</li>
<li>GBP NZD: It made a higher high after a higher low, confirming that the next part of the uptrend might be coming.</li>
<li>NZD/JPY: Swept the resistance around 87.300 before pulling back. As long as support at 84.500 holds, the pair is likely to trade higher.</li>

TXNM Energy, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXNM#NYSE">TXNM</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Monday after the company agreed to be acquired by Blackstone Infrastructure for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45489413/txnm-energy-enters-agreement-to-be-acquired-by-blackstone-infrastructure" rel="noreferrer noopener">$61.25 per share in cash at closing</a>.
The acquisition price represents a 23.0% premium over TXNM Energy&#8217;s unaffected 30-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) as of March 5, 2025, the day before media reports of a potential acquisition.
This transaction reflects a total enterprise value of $11.5 billion, which includes net debt (excluding securitization debt) and preferred stock.

Blackstone Infrastructure is also making a $400 million investment through a private placement agreement, purchasing 8 million newly issued shares of TXNM Energy common stock at $50 per share to support TXNM Energy&#8217;s growth plans. This issuance is expected to be completed in June 2025.
TXNM Energy anticipates issuing an additional $400 million of equity before the transaction closes to further support its growth. The transaction is being funded through equity and the assumption of existing debt, with no new debt expected to be issued as a result of the acquisition.
TXNM Energy&#8217;s Board of Directors has unanimously approved the transaction, which is estimated to close in the second half of 2026, pending shareholder and regulatory approvals.
TXNM Energy shareholders can anticipate continued dividend payments through the transaction&#8217;s closing, subject to the Board of Directors&#8217; approval.
Upon closing the transaction, Pat Collawn will step down as Executive Chair. Notably, Pat Collawn transitioned from the current Chief Executive Officer&nbsp;to Executive Chair, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/05/n45401627/txnm-energy-announces-executive-leadership-transition-of-pat-collawn-to-executive-chair-don-tarry-" rel="noreferrer noopener">effective&nbsp;July 1, 2025</a>.&nbsp;
Don Tarry will assume responsibility for the ongoing operations of TXNM Energy as President and CEO.
Pat Collawn said, &#8220;Our successes at TXNM Energy have stemmed from a deliberate approach to investing in PNM and TNMP in a manner aligned with the priorities of our customers and communities. We&#8217;ve integrated new resources to supply over two-thirds of PNM electricity needs with carbon-free energy and supported double-digit demand growth at TNMP.&#8221;
Investors can gain exposure to the stock via Virtus Reaves Utilities ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UTES#NYSE">UTES</a>) and Tema Electrification ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOLT#NASDAQ">VOLT</a>).
Price Action: TXNM shares are up 9.23% at $57.76 premarket at the last check on Monday.

Why Is TXNM Energy Stock Soaring On Monday?

It's downgrade déjà vu. Late Friday, after Wall Street had already packed up for the weekend, Moody's quietly dropped the hammer: the U.S. just got its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/econ-s/25/05/45479078/moodys-downgrades-us-credit-rating-over-debt-deficit-concerns">credit rating cut from Aaa to Aa1</a>.
If this feels familiar, that's because it is &#8211; and the market's playbook has been pretty consistent. The real question now: Will the market freak out for the third time, or has it finally learned to chill?
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Another 10% Correction Coming?</h2>
Let's rewind.
In August 2011, Standard &amp; Poor's made history by downgrading U.S. debt for the first time ever. The result? A 10.37% drop in the S&amp;P 500 Index over the next 41 trading days, <a href="https://x.com/adamkhootrader/status/1923970924589744439">according</a> to data analyzed by Piranha Profits. But fast forward 12 months, and the index was up 36%. Investors who bought the dip didn't just survive &#8211; they thrived.
Then came August 2023, when Fitch pulled the same move. Same script, different year. The S&amp;P 500 slid 10.31% over 58 trading days. But again &#8211; patience paid off. One year later, stocks were up a cool 37%.
Now, here comes Moody's, joining the downgrade party. And yes, if the market follows precedent, we could be looking at another 10% correction.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Bulls Have Reasons To Shrug This One Off &#8211; But Will They?</h2>
But here's the twist &#8211; after two prior false alarms, has Wall Street stopped reacting to credit downgrades like it's the end of the world? After all, these cuts haven't exactly spelled disaster in the long run. Quite the opposite.
And let's not ignore the context: strong earnings from tech giants, resilient consumer spending, and cooling inflation may give bulls a reason to shrug this one off.
But if markets do panic on Monday, history suggests it could be yet another gift-wrapped opportunity to scoop up high-quality stocks at a discount.
Because if there's one thing we've learned, it's this: America's credit rating may slip &#8211; but investor memory tends to fade faster than a market dip lasts.
For investors holding broad S&amp;P 500 ETFs like SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), iShares Core S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IVV#NYSE">IVV</a>), and Vanguard S&amp;P 500 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VOO#NYSE">VOO</a>), the Moody's downgrade may feel unsettling at first glance &#8211; especially heading into Monday's open. But history offers a useful compass. During the past two U.S. debt downgrades in 2011 and 2023, the S&amp;P 500 fell over 10% within two months, only to surge more than 35% over the following year. If markets follow a similar playbook, any short-term volatility could prove to be a golden buying window for long-term investors. 
In other words, don't be surprised if passive index investors wind up thanking Moody's by this time next year.
Will Wall Street overreact a third time? 
Or has the market finally grown up? 
We'll find out Monday.

SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (SPY)
The SPY is currently trading around our crucial pivot at 587.31. For a bullish scenario, buyers must drive the price upward toward 589.71 initially. A strong hold above this mark could see bullish momentum pushing further to the significant support area at 592.00. Sustained bullish control above 592.00 during the session might propel prices upward to test the higher level at 593.73. Our ultimate bullish target for today on SPY sits at 595.14.&nbsp;
If the price fails to sustain above the pivotal 587.31, bearish traders will likely step in aggressively toward 585.75. Should selling pressure intensify, we expect a downward push toward 584.68. Breaking through this support convincingly may trigger further declines toward the next major level at 583.18. If market sentiment deteriorates significantly, bears will aim for today&#8217;s ultimate downside target at 581.97.
Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1 (QQQ)
The Q&#8217;s are currently fluctuating near our significant level at 513.64. To achieve bullish momentum, buyers must decisively keep the price above this point. Successful support here can encourage buyers to lift the market toward the critical 515.00 level. If bullish energy continues uninterrupted, we anticipate further upside moves toward the stronger resistance at 516.58. Under strong bullish conditions, today&#8217;s high upside goal for QQQ is marked at 518.65.&nbsp;
Should prices falter at 513.64 during the session, bears will attempt to dominate and swiftly push prices downward toward the immediate level at 511.53. Persistent bearish pressure could result in a deeper decline to test the strength at 509.87. Continued seller momentum may extend losses further toward 508.22. A breakdown below this critical support sets up a test of today&#8217;s low bearish target at 506.68.
Apple Inc. (AAPL)
Apple is presently trading near our key area at 207.93. Bulls will first aim to solidify support slightly higher at 208.81. Successfully holding this mark can fuel a bullish rally towards the next significant upside area at 209.81. Continued buying strength throughout today&#8217;s session could further lift prices toward the prominent resistance at 211.12. If buyers remain firmly in control, our ultimate bullish objective for Apple today lies at 212.44.&nbsp;
If support at 207.93 is compromised during trading, bears will quickly target the downside, first probing at 207.18. Increased selling could lead to further deterioration toward the next downside support at 206.55. If bearish sentiment intensifies, traders will be eyeing the crucial support at 205.54. A breakdown here will likely push prices toward our lowest bearish target for Apple today at 204.33.
Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)
Microsoft is currently positioned around our significant point at 450.26. Bulls must first confirm stability above 453.02, creating favorable conditions for a push upward toward the higher support at 455.77. Consistent buying strength above this point could propel the price higher to test the next resistance area at 457.25. Under continued bullish momentum, the session&#8217;s ultimate bullish goal for Microsoft is situated at 459.18.&nbsp;
Should the market fail to hold support at 450.26, sellers will aggressively target downside levels, initially pressing prices toward 448.18. If selling intensifies, the next area for bearish exploration will be 446.33. Sustained downward pressure could result in a deeper test of support at 444.95. Should this level give way, we anticipate bears pushing Microsoft toward our extreme bearish target today at 442.95.
NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)
NVIDIA is currently oscillating around the essential level of 131.42. Bulls should first target establishing clear support slightly higher at 132.19. A strong consolidation above this area could ignite further bullish moves upward to 133.31. Persistent buying pressure may result in a further price rise toward 134.56. If bullish sentiment remains high, today&#8217;s highest target for NVIDIA sits at 135.64.&nbsp;
If NVIDIA cannot maintain the critical 131.42 level, bearish traders will push downward aggressively, targeting an initial support test at 129.53. Should this area fail under selling pressure, further declines toward the level at 128.10 can be expected. Weakness continuing to prevail could bring prices to challenge the important support at 126.84. Under heavy selling pressure, bears may reach today&#8217;s extreme bearish target of 125.21.
Alphabet Inc Class A (GOOGL)
Alphabet is currently trading near our primary level at 163.79. For bullish traders, the immediate objective is establishing strong support at 165.41. Successfully holding this level can enable further upside momentum, targeting 167.04 next. Continued bullish activity today can potentially push prices toward our top bullish target at 169.34.&nbsp;
If support at 163.79 falters, sellers will aim lower toward 161.79. A breakdown here could drive prices further downward to initially test 160.36. Strong and persistent selling would likely encourage bears to challenge deeper support levels, bringing today&#8217;s bearish target of 158.54 firmly into focus.
Meta Platforms Inc (META)
Meta is currently trading near our critical pivot at 629.88. Bullish momentum requires first reclaiming support clearly above 635.49, potentially triggering further upward moves toward 642.59. A sustained bullish environment could propel the price toward the notable resistance at 646.48. Continued bullish pressure may help Meta reach today&#8217;s highest bullish objective at 650.56.&nbsp;
If 629.88 fails as a stable support today, bears will aggressively press prices downward, targeting 622.01. Continued bearish force can drive prices further toward the lower level at 615.65. Significant selling pressure could cause a deeper drop, testing today&#8217;s ultimate bearish goal of 609.30.
Tesla Inc. (TSLA)
Tesla is currently trading near our vital reference level of 333.93. For a bullish scenario, buyers must initiate momentum higher toward 340.97. Sustained strength above this point could further lift prices to test resistance at 346.64. If the broader market rallies significantly today, Tesla may see an extended upside move to 350.87. Continued bullish enthusiasm could propel prices toward today&#8217;s highest target for Tesla at 356.80.&nbsp;
If Tesla cannot hold the crucial level of 333.93, bears will target downward momentum immediately toward 327.59. Persistent selling can lead to a further decline toward the next significant support at 322.52. Should bearish pressure remain intense, the critical lower support at 315.93 could be challenged, potentially extending losses toward today&#8217;s extreme bearish target of 312.42.
Final Word:&nbsp;
Today&#8217;s economic calendar is notably sparse. At 10:00 AM ET, we have the release of April&#8217;s Leading Index, providing minimal market-moving potential. Traders will, however, closely monitor commentary from Federal Reserve speakers, including Bostic, Williams, and Jefferson, all scheduled prior to market open, and Logan at 1:15 PM ET and Kashkari at 1:30 PM ET. With limited economic catalysts, heightened market attention will be directed toward recent developments surrounding Moody&#8217;s credit rating downgrade and ongoing tariff negotiations.&nbsp;
In the current market environment characterized by lower economic data visibility, expect heightened volatility around headlines. Traders should stay vigilant and prioritize risk management strategies to safeguard against unexpected market swings. Stay disciplined and best of luck today!
