Market Cap Game Show: Planes, Steaks & Automobiles

26:30Allstate has the mayhem guy, my least favorite of all the insurance ads. Liberty Mutual with the emu? I mean, I guess you have to have a mascot in funny ads to be an insurance company. I think so. There's one insurance company out there that prides itself on not having a mascot, but I'm blanking on the name, so maybe the mascots work. There's some smaller ones like the General, which is just a bad mascot, I think, if you've seen the General ads. I think that one you're talking about is called PJM or something like that. Yes. But, yeah, even I'm struggling to remember its name. An acronym. That tells you something about.

27:03Well, those insurance companies tend to be very profitable, so they have a lot of money to invest. And insurance is a commodity market, so they've got to stand out somehow. I mean, they're all doing it, so there's pattern recognition there, Andy Krause. And it's been a very fine stock, very fine company for Tom Gardner and Berkshire Hathaway. So let's move on. It's exciting, guys. I think it's 2-2. Some of our players at home are counting four right now, so you're losing to some of our experts at home. But here in the studio, let's move on now to stock number five. Andy Cross, when you think about companies that change their corporate names, not just because of a merger or a buyout, but let's say, you know, just because.

27:44Maybe their business is changing or the world has changed or they want to reset their reputation. It's not always an easy thing to do, is it? No, in fact, I think a lot spend a lot of shareholder capital trying to figure out how to change that name. Yeah. Do you think we should change our name of The Motley Fool? I do not. I agree with you. Yasser? I do not. We would fire you if you had said it otherwise, right? I cannot be sitting here across from David Gardner telling him we should change the name of the company. We're all about free opinions of the company, but to change the name, that's where the line gets drawn for David.

28:19And if we did, we would obviously hire a marketing and branding firm, and they would go out and do a lot of research, and they'd come back with a made-up word, and it would be something like investrix. Right. And we would be investrix. Or maybe fluist. Fluist! Fantastic. So these are all opportunities that we're not going to take, but thank you for that. So I'm thinking, though, about a company that's done this in our lifetime, and at quite a scale, like a breathtakingly large company that just flat-out changed its name. Andy, back to you. Can you think of any feet companies that would fit that shoe?

28:51Well, the one I'm thinking about is Square, that now I think it's ticker as XYZ, and it changes name to Block. And so, you know, the CEO, I'm blanking on his name. Jack Dorsey. Jack Dorsey, thank you. I wanted to say Pat Dorsey. Yasser knows everything, by the way. This is why you should agree with Yasser. I mean, I'm just glad he's on our team, and he still likes our company name. And I'm just scared to be competing against him. I can understand kind of why you change that name, but that's the one that jumps to mind without going through. When companies merge together, I can see why they do that.

29:24Yeah. Well, and then there's also meta platforms, right? Hey, we were Facebook, but we're now going to have a new name. But I'm thinking about a company that is just about that large that's done this in our lifetime. The ticker symbol is G-O-O-G. The company, stock number five, is Alphabet. And by the way, they never changed their ticker. They changed their name, Alphabet, but they kept the ticker the same. Anyway, yes, Alphabet is our company in question here, so I'm going to turn back now to Andy. And oh, my gosh, wait. Number five is our other throwdown. You know, I randomized which ones, and it just came up four and five this time.

30:02So we're doing it back to back with another throwdown round. I'm going to turn once again to Andy and to Yasser, ask them to get their pencils out. and they're thinking right now about Alphabet's market cap. Now, I personally think that Alphabet should eventually change its ticker symbol, and I will be providing my own suggestion to the company very shortly, but I'm stalling mainly for my contestants so they have good time to think about. I think they've heard of this company before. What would Alphabet's market cap be? And again, the tighter your range, the more likely you are to win the point.

30:38And players at home, you and I, we just can sit there and go, I don't know. Let's go with Yasser or Andy. That's the throwdown round. And I'm now going to turn back to Andy Cross. Andy, what is your stated market cap range for Alphabet ticker symbol GOOG? Well, David, I'm going with$3.05 billion to$3.23 billion. And I think you mean trillion. I'm sorry, trillion. I think you mean trillion. We're going to help you out there. Thank you. Thank you. I mean, there are only a few companies we can do that to. So I understand how you can easily. 3.05 trillion to 3.23 trillion. To 3.23 trillion dollars.

31:17Now, that may sound like a really tight range until we realize it's actually like$180 billion there between your tight parameters. And Yasser, looking over your post-it note, what did you write down? I wrote 3 trillion to 3.05 trillion. So that is an even tighter range,$3 trillion to$3.05 trillion, which, by the way, was the bottom of Andy's range. So you guys are really close. And this company was definitely in the headlines in the past week for becoming, I think, the fourth company to trip over the$3 trillion market cap. And market watchers like, I don't know, analysts and advisors at The Motley Fool and a lot of our listeners and armchair investors, too, you probably saw that headline as well.

32:02The market cap for Alphabet as of around 12 noon today, Tuesday, September 16th, was$3.037 trillion. We are dealing in incredibly large numbers. A lot of humans have a hard time wrapping our minds around trillion. How many billions are in a trillion, dear listener? And the answer is there are a thousand billions in a trillion. This company's market cap, 3.037. That is right square in the middle of Yasser's rather tight range of 3.0 to 3.05. So if you said Yasser, give yourself a plus one. And that marks halftime. The first half of the market cap game show is over. Except that before we move on to the halftime follies, a couple of things.

32:50First of all, I do think at some point alphabet should change its ticker symbol. And I already have the idea here, guys. because if you're alphabet, I'm thinking about A at the start of the alphabet and Z at the end of the English alphabet. And so I was thinking A to T-O-Z. A to Z. That's kind of cool. Now, it looks a little dorky, I will admit. A-tahs. It's probably not as expressive as Goog, but I feel like over time we can really own the mindshare around A to Z. We are alphabet, and we have an alphabet-like ticker symbol. Well, I think their website is abc.xyz. Okay. So it matches, David. Okay.

33:33You're already thinking along the lines. Directionally aligned with where we're headed there. Okay. Yeah. I'm really happy to say that Tim Byers, our longtime Motley Fool analyst and advisor, brought Google, and that's what it was called back then, to Rule Breaker members on May 21st of 2008. We're still holding. 17 years later, yeah, it's up about 20 times in value. And gosh, when Tim picked it, guys, its market cap back then seemed pretty big. It was$182 billion, and it's up about 20 times or so since. So a mega winner for many fools and fool services ever since. Thank you, Alphabet. All right.

34:10So we've had many different forms of halftime entertainment for the market cap game show. This is a first. We're about to debut. I'm very excited about this. You guys know because I told you ahead of time This is coming. I decided, I mean, in the past we've had music. We've had inspirational speeches. There may have been a poem or so. But this time, for the first time ever, I've asked each of my contestants, as our halftime entertainment, to tell a joke. Yasser, you are leading, after all, at halftime. So I'm going to turn to you first. A joke, please. Are you sure? Is that the joke? Well, I just wasn't sure if you wanted to lose half your audience once I tell the joke.

34:47I am sure. All right, fine. Here's a joke. Why did the accountant leave the calculator? Andy, why did the accountant leave the calculator? Do you have any guesses? I don't think we're supposed to guess. It's just a joke. I don't. All right, let's just say why. Pins and needles. She was too calculating. Okay. Yeah, this will only work if we have some kind of like after effect sounds, you know, sound effects, like drum rolls or something. We're looking at our producers across the glass. Like we need help here. We need help. We got a thumb up from Dan Boyd. Okay. Archie? Archie? So we have two producers today, and this is a discriminating pair.

35:27And you have higher standards. You got one thumb up. This, by the way, is not being scored. This is a halftime folly. This is entertainment. Andy, tell a joke. I did ask just around my brother some good dad jokes of the like, which I love. So this is one that one told me that goes, I told my wife, you know, she should really embrace her mistakes. And so she gave me a hug.

35:57Oh, that's a joke. I mean, we got multiple thumbs across the glass. I think, Yasha, that was not a fake laugh. No, that was a genuine laugh. That was genuine. That was genuine. All right. And we hope, dear listener, you laughed at least once for our halftime follies. Did you know three out of four U.S. homes have toxic chemicals in their tap water? Even though contaminated water looks clear, it could put you at risk for devastating health concerns, including fatigue, hormone disruption, cognitive decline, even cancer.

Again, some listeners at home have a score of zero, I'm sorry to say, but others might have a score as high as five. Here we have Yasser 3, Andy 2. This is for the third seat of our final four, March market cap madness. So we're about to get a little bit more serious. Guys, no more jokes. No more jokes. All right, on to stock number six. Yasser El Shimi, have you ever been to any airports?

38:13I know you haven't been to Texas, but have you ever been to any airports south of our U.S. border? Yeah, yeah, I've been to Cancun. Excellent. Did you touch down in Cancun and think, while you were in the airport in Cancun, This terminal feels more like a resort lobby than an airport. It does. It did feel that way. Yes, absolutely. And lots of commercial options. Yeah. Yeah. And and and in fact, this company operates a network of airports. It does include Cancun's, but also Cozumel, Merida and Luis Munoz Marine. I think I did that right. M-A-R accent I-N Marine International in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

38:55It's a private airport operator. The name of the company, I'm going to do my best here, guys, Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste. I definitely have the del Sureste, right? The Aeroportuario is a little bit more of a challenge, but nevertheless, tourism-driven traffic in the Yucatan Caribbean corridor is its engine. With a shared operating playbook across multiple hubs, Yasser Elshimi, what is your stated market cap range? I'm not going to say the company name again. I've already done it too many times. Ticker symbol ASR. My stated market range is$33 to$52 billion. $33 billion to$52 billion. Before I ask Andy and players at home for their official response, agree or disagree, Andy, have you ever been to Cancun?

39:52Never have. Have you ever looked over ASR as a stock? I have. I feel like you've done that with so many. You're our chief investing officer. Well, there are a few different Mexican airports, and I think they've all done relatively well, pay a lot of dividends, but never super in-depthly. Okay. Well, Yasser said$33 billion to$52 billion. Andy, players at home. Do you want to agree or disagree with Yasser? Well, Yasser is one of our international experts, and he knows global markets. But I think I'm going to disagree. Actually, I know I'm going to disagree with him on this, but I may regret that decision, but I'm going to disagree with Yasser.

40:31And I'm not going to say yet whether you're right or not, but since you are disagreeing, do you suppose it would be smaller or larger than that range? I think it's a little—I had it in my mind a little smaller than the range that Yasser gave. All right, players at home, if, along with Andy, you disagreed with Yasser, give yourself a plus one because it is far smaller than Yasser was suggesting. Andy, I think you were intuiting that. But then again, I think you may have looked over this company more recently than Yasser did. ASR's market cap,$9.36 billion. They're not making as much money from Cancun, among others.

41:06I mean, tens of millions of passengers a year, but not quite yet. Now, Yasser, anytime somebody guesses a much larger market cap than the actual market cap, what we always say is maybe you should research that stock. Because in your mind, you can foresee, you're thinking it's bigger, and you're getting it at like a quarter of the price right now, potentially. So are you going to maybe add ASR to your watch list? Yes, I think it's something I need to look into. We already have another airport operator in our global partner service. And I think it's bigger. So that's probably why I deviated towards a larger side.

41:42Well, you know, the great thing about these businesses is it's kind of a captive audience. I don't think teleportation, by the way, is going to replace airlines anytime soon. Sometimes when I look into the sci-fi around, could we ever teleport ourselves? You'll see stories like you are killed at one place. And then as you pop up in Cancun, there's another version of you because you were technically killed back in Washington, D.C. And then you were reconfigured and you've teleported successfully dot, dot, dot to Cancun. You know, I was just saying, David, that I travel is sometimes such a pain that teleportation I just crave.

42:23However, in the way that you just told it, I am now completely fearful of it. Yeah, although I will say for ASR, they'll probably still be like the airport you're teleporting to. Although I guess you could teleport to your house, but I'm not sure we have the right equipment in your house to reconfigure your DNA and your lived experience and memory that easily just in like your den. New business model for ASR, I guess. All right, well, let's call it three to three. This game just stays tight. I admit it, guys. I have not yet come up with the 11th tiebreaker stock. If we're headed there, I don't know if we are or not.

42:57Let's go to stock number seven. Andy Cross, have you studied, like, hotels? Not much, David. Have you stayed in hotels? I have. Do you enjoy staying in hotels? I do. Did you know that big hotel chains engineer the first 10 seconds of your stay? I did not. Many brands curate a signature scent in the lobby. They dial in warm or cool lighting to calm, travel, frazzled brains. After all, your plane was probably delayed and you're feeling a little stressed. You notice this, too, when you get to your room, right? Some of them obsess over pillows and bedding. I think it's the signal you're going to sleep well here.

43:37I often, when I stay in hotels, which I'm not a big travel person, but I do do it. And when I do, I try to find a nice hotel. I'm often amazed by how awesome the pillows are. So much better than my own pillows in my house. Have you had that experience? Yes, 100%. Yeah, so, yeah, Weston's heavenly bed and all the rest. Yeah, those first 10 seconds of your walk into the lobby and walking into your room are at scale heavily curated. At least they're trying. Marriott International is the world's largest hotel company. It spans some of the brands I just mentioned. For example, Westin or Ritz-Carlton or Marriott Courtyard.

44:14They're basically present at every price point. Increasingly, it seems, every place in the world. It's a really interesting company. I'm happy to say that my brother Tom picked this one for Stock Advisor back in 2015. Andy, are you familiar with Marriott International? Kind of a local company here in Washington, D.C. Yes, yeah. It's headquartered out here in Maryland. Yeah. Jay Willard and Alice Marriott, starting it as a root beer stand. Iconic stories. First hotel opened in 1957. It was the Twin Bridges Motor Hotel. Why are we going on with trivia when I should just be asking you about the market cap of Marriott International?

44:49It's ticker symbol, Andy, is M-A-R. David, I will say a range between$70 and$80 billion. So big round numbers, Andy. $70,$80. Was that intentional on your part? I know there's some head game to this game. There is some head game. It was not in that guess. That was just, I don't know why. That itself is a head game statement. Just that statement was not a head game statement. on top of my head game statement. No, I just happened to pick 70 to 80. All right. Yasser El-Shimi, Players of Dome. Andy said 70 to 80. Yasser, your thoughts? First of all, just about any of the Marriott many brands. Do you want to express a plus or a minus?

45:33Give a five or a one-star review right now of any of the Marriott brands? Well, I have to say I do love staying in hotels, especially when they're really nice hotels, five-star hotels. Ritz-Carlton, another Marriott brand. There you go. I am not as good in terms of remembering which hotels belong to what chain. Nor am I. It's hard. The whole industry has been rolling up. I will say this, though. Part of Marriott's charm is the Bonvoy single app, single frequent points, whatever they're calling it these days, across all of your lodging experiences. Yeah, and I guess returning to really the question of the hour, Andy has said$70 to$80 billion market cap.

46:14Now, presumably, Andy knows this company pretty well insofar as you work closely with Tom. That's part of the head game. I think it is part of the head game. And I don't mean to be participating in a head game right now. Players at home and Yasser El-Shimi, would you like to agree or disagree with Andy's stated range? You know, I think Andy would definitely know this company a lot more than I do. However, I'm going to disagree with Andy. and I'm just going to say, even though I know you're not asking if it's higher or lower, I'm going to say that my hunch, my inclination is that it has a higher market cap than the stated range.

46:51All right, so Yasser has disagreed. Players at home, agree or disagree yourself? All right, we heard you. If you disagreed along with Yasser, you lose this one because Andy nailed it. So if you agreed with any plus one, because Marriott's market cap is$72.07 billion. Ten years ago, this month, in fact, when my brother picked it, it was about a four-bag or smaller. So this company is four-bagged for members over the course of ten years. It is a market beater. Now, it's not been a market crusher, but this is not in an industry where you'd necessarily crush the market with a stock like this one. But I was waxing philosophical earlier, even talking about the roots of the company, the root beer stand.

47:34Andy, it is hard to keep up with all their different brands. They acquired Starwood Hotels and Resorts in 2016. Sheridan, they own Weston, Sheridan, St. Regis. Of course, we talked about Bonvo. You see a loft near airports, I guess. I would have thought with Yasser it is a bigger than just$70 to$80 billion market cap. You know, what's really interesting with these companies is that once Airbnb, which is a great company, had kind of come out to the forefront, there was concerns about a lot of these hotel companies. And yet Marriott and a few others have done quite well. It's a great point. You know, the world is bigger than we think.

48:13And a lot of people who tend to think zero sum, it's not the right way of thinking about things. It's more yes and both more. It sure has been. I guess it just means a lot of us aren't spending as much time in our apartments or homes anymore. We're just somewhere else. All right. And not teleporting there, at least not anytime soon. Okay. On to stock number eight. I counted Andy, who's just taken his first lead for Yasser 3. Yasser El-Shimi, when you think of really important cities in terms of the world's financial markets, what comes to mind? New York, Hong Kong, London. I agree. Maybe Dubai.

48:51Good. Andy, would you add anything to that list? Maybe Frankfurt. How about domestically? Is there another city that would jump to mind as relevant to the world's financial markets that's not New York City? I would say Chicago and Miami. Chicago has a CME group, I believe it's based in Chicago. It's funny you mentioned that. Do you mean the world's leading derivatives marketplace where traders and institutions manage risk and interest rates, equity indices, foreign exchange, etc.? Is that Chicago? That is the exact Chicago I was thinking of. Yes, commodities, metals, all of that gets exchanged on CME.

49:27And we're going to head back to CME in a sec, but you also mentioned Miami. What are you thinking there? Well, I know that they have been working on a Miami international exchange. I believe it even has IPO'd recently under the ticker symbol MIAX. See, I am not keeping up. I didn't know that. All right, Miami. Yes. So it's, you know, presenting kind of a new forefront for exchanges. It's heavily geared towards cryptos and digital coins and other kind of newer innovations, but also, you know, offering traditional services like stocks and options and so on. All right. Well, thank you for that. But we are headed back to Chicago, which is where on LaSalle Street in Chicago, CME Group is based.

50:19CME matches buyers and sellers around the clock. It guarantees trades through its CME clearing. It launched Globex, the electronic platform, in 1982. You know, it launched S &P 500 futures in 1982. CME Group, the ticker symbol is CME. Yasir Elshimi, what is your stated market cap range for this company? My stated range is 80 to 105. 80 to 105 billion dollars. Andy, have you ever traded an S &P 500 future? Never. Nor have I. But, I mean, you see it out there. This started with, like, corn and cattle, and then it turned into stock in Next Futures over time. Colored jackets. pits. You know, have you ever been down in the pit?

51:08I've never been down in the pit. Nor have I. I did visit the New York Stock Exchange. You've been down on the floor there? As have I. Yeah, maybe we were there together even. We were. Yeah. Did we ring the bell at the New York Stock Exchange one day? We did. We did together. Yeah. Yeah, but we were not in the pits with the colored jackets and the corn and the cattle. And yet, Yasser has said$80 billion to$105 billion for this company's stated market cap range. Now, I will point out that right now you're winning four to three. If you were to score a point here, you'd lock in at least a tie for this quarter's market cap game show.

51:41I'm not trying to add any pressure on you. Thank you. I'm just pointing that out. Thank you. You do not succeed with not adding any pressure to me, David. You know, so many of these companies, they're so successful and they, in my mind, they bleed together when it comes to the market cap. So I'm trying to get them all the NYSE, the CME, all of these. Yeah, Intercontinental Exchange. Ice is in there. London, Hong Kong, Miami. I think Yasser, what was the range again? $80 ,080 ,000 to$105 ,105 ,000. I think maybe a little bit on the high side. So I'm going to disagree with Yasser. All right, players at home, Andy has disagreed.

52:20You can make your choice now. Excellent. Well, this game just tied up because Andy was wrong. He should have agreed with Yasser's$80 to$105 billion. That was a very good call, Yasser. It was almost equidistant, almost the median there,$94.41 billion. Yasser, this is a stock we have had in Stock Advisor for a while. Do you have this in Global Partners? I do not. Our mandate in Global Partners is for international markets, so we cannot recommend any domestic But this company operates a market that is international. I know, I know. And one of my favorite offerings of theirs is the orange juice index.

52:56Because I was fascinated, you know, when I first immigrated to this country about, you know, watching in the news about the price of orange juice and how it fluctuates every year due to planting conditions in Florida. And I figured that the futures of orange juice were traded on the CME. And that was just fascinating. That is fascinating. And so Miami enters back into this conversation in some sense. I mean, they've got oranges down there. You know, what I'm always amazed by, I think I point this out from time to time when Yasser appears on this podcast. Yasser, at what age did you begin studying English as a language?

53:34I learned, so, yeah, I was exposed to English very indirectly throughout primary school, you know, middle school, high school. but I only started actually learning English properly in college. Which is just incredible to me as somebody who, and you and I are both Duolingo shareholders. You've been following and you've been a backer of Duolingo for a while. I can't even pick up a second language with anything more than an eight-day streak on Duolingo. Spanish is challenging enough for me. You speak English so well, so naturally, just wanted to point that out. Okay, it's four to four. Let's move on to stock number nine, Andy Cross.

54:15Let's stick now with commodities trading just for a second, but from a very different angle. Andy, do you have rooftop solar in your house? I do not. Do you have any kind of home energy storage? I do not. If you did have rooftop solar or a home battery, could you see yourself selling power back during price spikes where you're, in a sense, playing energy trader from your driveway? Sure. I would love to do that. All right. Good. Well, Constellation Energy is a major U.S. power producer and retailer. This is a little bit of a lame transition. Best known for its large carbon-free fleet, led by nuclear, by the way, plus wind and solar.

54:58Constellation Energy, Andy, I think you noticed they're based not far away from Washington, D.C. They are. They're a Northeast regional company. Baltimore, Maryland, no less. And this is stock number nine. Now, TMF Moneyball, which is one of our new services, really fun to watch. TMF Moneyball has been seriously digging this stock throughout the year 2025. We'll talk about that in a sec, but Constellation Energy is the nation's largest producer of reliable, clean, carbon-free energy. It's, of course, a company whose market cap I'm deeply curious to know what your stated range would be. Its ticker symbol, Andy, is C-E-G.

55:39Constellation Energy, your market cap. David, I'll say$95 billion to$120 billion. $95 to$120 billion. Yasser, are solar panels any part of your life? They are. In fact, I installed solar panels in 2023, and I'm so grateful that I did. Personally? You installed them personally? Not personally. I had them installed. I know you're a man of many talents. I mean, Yasser's busy with his Molly Fool job, Andy. Please. I'm anything but handy, I'll tell you that. And yet, you've done it. That's fantastic. Now, part of me is hoping you're going to get this right because I feel like you're making more of an effort.

56:20I was just hypothesizing that Andy's in his driveway selling power back as an energy trading partner to others. But you're actually living the dream right now. Are you happy with your solar rooftop install? Extremely happy. I mean, not only am I selling credit back to the state and I'm getting paid for it, but I've also been, I mean, our electricity bill has gone down from an average of around$200 a month to about$8. Wow, that's incredible. So I think we've done well. We have done well. Well, Andy said$95 billion to$120 billion. It's four to four, stock number nine. Yasser, do you want to agree or disagree?

56:59I will regrettably disagree with Andy on this one. Players at home, okay, we heard you. And unfortunately, Yasser should have agreed with Andy because Andy made a pretty good call. Constellation Energy's market cap is$101.64 billion, solidly within his$95 to$120 billion range. And therefore, Andy, you get the point. I actually did not really. That was a pretty good guess. I was looking across the studio at you, and you looked in disbelief. Like, I thought I was saying something wrong. Your expression was so strange. That one has even surprised myself, David. And these are not mind games. No, these are part of your mind games, Andy.

57:41And please just, you know, like there's no need for that. TMF Moneyball, as I mentioned, has been recommending the stock starting in March of this year around$180 a share,$180,$200 in there. Stock's now at$323. This is a utility. This is an energy company just months later. It's been a fantastic pick. Maybe something's right in Moneyballville. I'm certainly impressed by that, and I know members are happy about that as well. Before we move on to stock number 10, this company runs the largest U.S. nuclear generation fleet by output. That's part of being the carbon-free leader. Beyond kilowatts, it offers 100 % clean energy plans.

58:26It has demand response and efficiency services. To other enterprises, think about stadiums, campuses, data-heavy customers. I mean, this is a$100 billion-plus pretty impressive company. I've never really researched it. Yeah, I mean, they operate the nation's largest zero-carbon power production. They are a very impressive company. They are working on getting that old nuclear plant in Three Mile Island in Pennsylvania started again. They signed a deal with Microsoft. All these data centers are going to need quite a bit of power generation. And I think CEG is doing its part in giving us that zero carbon emission power.

59:11Here's Yasser installing the solar panels on his rooftop, even though he wanted to admit he did it himself. And then he's throwing down facts that we probably didn't have, Andy. It's all heart and soul. He doesn't get the point? And he's talking about Three Mile Island, which is not far from where I grew up. I mean, Yasser, I think, David, I think he's just mind-gaming me into the clothes here. Maybe so, but I mean, my heart goes out. I'm really cheering for Yasser right now. As you should. I am cheering for Yasser. All right, you're also cheering for Yasser. Let's move on to stock number 10. Stock number 10, we're going to turn back to, I think, number one in our hearts, number one not in our scorecard, Yasser Elshimi, and ask you, Yasser, because I guess my randomizer, because I randomize which stocks we're going to talk about every game show, I look at the 500 most popular companies on our website.

59:57I call them the Fool 500. It's different from the S &P 500. There's some overlap. But I just pull random numbers. And then it's going to be like, we're going to talk about that stock. And you guys don't know what's coming. And I don't know what's coming either. I guess my randomizer this time just had cars on the brain. Because we've talked about LKQ, recycling parts. We went over your Citron that your mother has retained. We talked about putting that little device in your car and it's watching you as you drive and scoring you and giving you money or taking it away in your insurance. If you had to unload your car tomorrow, Yasser, would you list it yourself?

1:00:33Would you take a cash offer online? Or would you drive to a dealer and maybe see what they're going to give you on the spot? Yeah, I would do anything but drive to a dealer. I'm sorry. Not option three. No Animus Again City dealerships out there. Not at all. Sounded alone. Yeah, definitely online. All right, so you're online. Yeah. You're online, okay. And have you visited any online auto marketplaces in the last year or two? Are you thinking about unloading or making a trade? I did visit websites. Actually, not websites. It's just one website. It's my go-to, which is Carvana. That's my go-to car dealership.

1:01:13Carvana, though, not CarGurus. No, no. Ticker symbol C-A-R-G. I'm going to say right now, it's not as big or well-known as Carvana, but CarGurus is an online auto marketplace that helps shoppers find cars and helps dealers and private sellers find buyers. It has a pricing engine where it assigns an instant market value. Let's go with the acronym here, guys, an IMV, and badges like great or good or fair deal. It's got days on market for each of the cars, and history filters will build trust with buyers beyond listings. It does offer instant cash for sellers, a digital wholesale platform for dealers.

1:01:57Yasser El-Shimi, since we've been talking so much about cars, let's close it out here with stock number 10. Now, in advance, Yasser, you're going to need this one. And if you get it, we're tie-breaking to a dramatic 11 stock, which will determine who is in our final four this coming March. Yasser, what is your stated market cap range for CarGurus, ticker symbol C-A-R-G? My range would be$6 billion to$11 billion. $6 billion to$11 billion. I'm not going to play any more head games or tilt anything. I'm just going to turn to players at home right now and Andy Cross and say, do you want to agree or disagree?

1:02:35Yasser said$6 billion to$11 billion. This is tricky because I know Yasser knows Carvana because he's a smart analyst. But I'm going to disagree with Yasser on this. And you were right to do so. So Andy Cross will be entering the final four for March market cap madness because it was a little smaller. In fact, quite a bit smaller. It was$3.59 billion. This is a company that's gotten a few fool plugs here and there. We haven't done great for members with this particular stock. And in fact, I don't think we're really covering it too much anymore. It was launched in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It does operate internationally, even though it's kind of a small company.

1:03:17It's in Canada and the UK. But more to the point, about$3.6 billion market cap. And Yasser, you're 6 to 11. A game try. But Andy was right. It was outside that range. Yasser, cars. Well, fun fact, David. Do you know that most Americans would rather be audited by the IRS than actually visit a car dealership? I just did. You were just audited by the IRS? I had to visit some dealerships, and I can empathize with that sentiment. Yeah. I mean, it's hard to build a brand or a sustainable business, although Carvana has kind of created excitement and a little bit more fun and pleasure. CarMax, which has been a longstanding recommendation of mine, I don't think it's been a great performer.

1:04:02It's had some good periods, but this is a difficult industry. Right. It's a very difficult industry. It's actually one of the largest industries in the U.S. that is not consolidated by any major player. So Carvana, I believe, has just surpassed CarMax to become the largest retailer of cars in the U.S. Wow. But having said that, I believe their market share is still at only 3 % or so. So there's still quite a runway ahead. Thank you for that, Yasser. And thank you both. The final accounting is then this. Andy Cross, 6. Yasser Elshimi, 4. I will say, Andy, it was quite a comeback. Like it was 3-3, and you just caught fire there near the end.

1:04:50But Andy and Yasser and I know we're not playing this game for each other. We're playing for you. How did you score? Dear Fool, dear listener at home, we hope that you outscored all of us. The purpose of the Market Cap Game Show is to make more popular, I'm never going to say as popular as Jeopardy, but to make more popular market caps. The real value of stocks on the market that most people don't understand because they just look at the price per share. Except that you now do understand because you just listened to us for an hour and I hope you scored at least a few points this week and maybe beat one or both of our competitors.

1:05:24Yasser and Andy, you both distinguished yourselves and helped make the world a bit smarter, happier, and richer. or maybe a final line or send-off from you each. Yasser? Forza Roma. In addition to that, this is your La Liga. No, no, my Serie A. My Serie A, that's my favorite team in Italy. Yes, excuse me. See, I keep not getting the world of international soccer quite right, although I'm trying, but I'm failing constantly at it. So Forza Roma. Forza Roma. Okay, I'm with you there. Would you like to tell one more joke? You had an amazing one. Oh, my God. I think our audience has had enough of my jokes.

1:06:09All right, we'll turn back. Andy, a final sentiment from you. Our third seat in our final four. Well, I'm excited for that, and it was a great Yasser, as he expressed in so many intelligent remarks about so many of the companies, even the ones that the die rolled in my favor. He still provided such intelligence there. It didn't seem right. And I just provide dumb jokes like this one. So I went to the doctor and I told him I broke my arm in two places. He told me not to go there anymore. Oh. Yeah, okay. I'm with you there. Next week, our September mailbag. Our email address is rbi at fool.com. You can tweet us on Twitter X at at RBI podcast.

So thank you guys for making this special in many ways for me and for all that you both do for Motley Fool members. I hope everybody had fun. Have a great week ahead. Fool on!
