Good morning. I'm Phil Rosen — still recovering from last night's Succession episode. I'm actually writing to you not far from where HBO films many of the scenes in downtown Manhattan (fingers crossed I show up as an extra this season).

As for Opening Bell, I've found it helpful to remember that the stock market operates as a zero-sum game.

Like poker or chess, one player's win means another player's loss.
