 The following is a presentation of TFNN. The morning market kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good morning everybody, I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN. Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend, Christmas weekend, back at it for a full week of trading Monday through Friday as we come into the new year, 2022. Remarkable folks, five trading days left. We got a full trading week all the way through Friday, even on New Year's Eve. Should see some low action, low volatility, excuse me, low volume. Doesn't mean low volatility as we saw last week, man. Boy, you back things up. It was quite a week, folks. You go from a price point. Is that, yes, a price point of last Monday with a low price of 45, 20. We are more than 200 S&P points above that level. You look where we are on the chart. You do have a tail back on December 16th. We got us to a high of 47, 43. But when you talk about closes, you talk about opens, S&P is going to open with a record open this morning to kick off trading coming into the new year. NASDAQ 100. Let me pull up those NQs. You're talking about a level that were about 400 points off of the all-time highs. That all-time high back on November 22nd, 16,000, excuse me, 16,767. You're trading 16,374. You're posited by 75 points. Now, you back things up to last Monday in the NASDAQ 100. How about 900 points? You're talking about almost 1,000 points, folks. You're only 120 points away from 1,000 points off of the lows that we had just last Monday. Dow up 70 points right now, 35,902. You're about 500 points away from all-time highs. Russell, quite a different story as it's been the case. You've got the Russell right now trading at 2242 down from 2460. Bitcoin, back above 50,000. Been quite a bear year for Bitcoin, man. Can't overstate that one. Got Ethereum, negative by 30 bucks or so at 4,094. Crude, trading at 73.55. We got the gold contract this morning. Basically flat, you're down $1 at 18.10 this morning on gold. Silver is flat at 22.94. And we jumped to notes and bonds. No action there either. We got the 10-year flat at 130.18. The 30-year is posited by 12 ticks at 160.28. And we jump over to the VIX. Volatility Index as this market marches on. Boy, quite a spike in that VIX, whether you back things up to December 3rd, you back things up to where the volatility really began on the Friday after Thanksgiving. You back things up to just a week ago when the market was correlating to the lows that I just went over. As I pointed out, the S&Ps are more than 200 points above where they were trading at when you had the VIX spiking to a high of 2739. Man, if you train those VIX, if you train those VIX products, like for instance, I know a lot of our traders like the UVXY, you really get some volatility on some of these spikes. Now, I'm going to back things up just 20 days or so, and you see how quickly some of these volatility spikes, man. If you're in these equities and you get some spikes, folks, and you're trading the VIX, I encourage you to think about taking those profits because it does not last long. Now, yes, there's the possibility. If we really get an extended sell-off that you could see some of those run, but boy, I mean, what are you looking for there? When you go back to the VIX, the weekly to encompass the full run of COVID, I mean, every time we've gotten a high, folks, even going back to when we got the first COVID spike, now, that's a lot of weeks that we went up there, right? It took us four weeks to get to the high on the VIX, took us about eight weeks to get back down to June 1st, maybe even 12 weeks or so, where we had a 24. You see the lows that we had will zoom in on the action, but boy, quick spikes, quick pullbacks on each occasion. It does not last, folks. Now, in context, it does not last when the market continues to march to highs. Yes, there's a possibility you could get an acceleration if we get an extended sell-off, but there is no reason for an extended sell-off just yet. Look at this chart of the S&P. When you talk about the channel line, folks, very well-defined. I'm going to put it back on a daily. I'm going to zoom in on since we had COVID. Now, as you can see, even taking it off the bottom. Now, yes, this does not come off the bottom. I talked about it many times, but if you're trading the markets, you're trading the futures, you're trading the indices, I will keep it on your radar, because it's something to keep track of, because each time we've either gotten near the top or the bottom portion of this trend line in the S&P, you've seen either support or resistance. Man, this is quite a line. If we ever carry this into the next year, you're talking about a price level that will blow people away. I imagine that at some point, this is going to cause a little weakness through this channel line, because you start pushing 12 months into the future, folks. Let's just put it back a year now. This channel line went from $3,600 to $4,600 over the course of a year. You extended out another 12 months, you're going to be pushing from $4,600 to $5,600. That or they're abouts, right? I mean, you see the angle of this trend line. If you stay in that trend line for another 12 months, man, we're talking about another, what? 1,000 points, another 20% gain almost in the markets. I'm not sure the market has that in it after year after year of these gains, but guess what? They didn't think it had it this year as well, and nonetheless, the market charges forward. We're talking about 26% or something like that. We come into the year. Yeah, we come into the year at $3,600. We're closing out the year at $47,33 right now, and we got five trading days left to go in this market on the S&Ps. You jump over to the Qs. A little bit of a different story in the Qs, but I'm going to back things up the same deal. Now, this trend line I like to follow on the Qs starts really last year when we got the market taking off from whether it was the vaccine efficacy numbers in November. We got the election that we got passed in early November of 2020 as well, and you take a look at the Qs, man. It has been well-defined up to the top portion, to the bottom portion as well. We did get slightly above there to 408.71. You got down to 378, but keep your eye on that channel line in the Qs as well if you're trading those tech stocks. Getting near the top portion of there, but you're still about 10 points away in the Qs if you're going to bounce off that top portion of that trend line. You see whether it was back in February, whether it was back in September. Got above that area before recoiling in November, and you see the four times we've had this thing touch the bottom. All the way a year ago in October, March of this year, May of this year, October of this year. Didn't quite get down to that level. I'm sure you had some people looking for a bounce. Didn't quite get there on the run that we had starting last Monday, but nonetheless you're trading at 396.92 right now on the Qs. Let's jump around to some of the fang stocks. As we got one week of trading to go, we'll kick it off with Amazon. Excuse me. That's a little bit of a longer term timeframe. Let's back this off for some clarity. This encompasses the full run from the COVID lows. Remarkable you had Amazon trading at 1626, I think. 1626.03 to be exact. Your consolidation area, which is pretty cool on Amazon. You got the bottom portion there, just about 3,000 on my chart. I got the 3.82 of the full run from last March, sitting at about 29.59, and look at how it just chopped around there for a while. Whether you're talking about back last September, back in November, back in March of this year, got a little bit ahead of itself to 37.33. That's when Jazzy took over, if you recall. They come out with their earnings in August. They tell the world that they might not even make a profit for the holiday season because costs are going up. Remarkable company like Amazon with the tens of billions of dollars that they take in. It's almost going to be hundreds of billions of dollars they take in on a quarterly basis. And they can't even turn a profit. But to their credit, if they get the job done with all the variables going on right now and they keep customers happy, and I imagine that's pretty much the case, because we're past Christmas. We're two days past Christmas and you haven't seen the horror stories online in terms of people not getting their presents. It seems like they got it done, at least on the process portion of delivering. We'll find out how much they had to spend to make that happen. We got Amazon right now up about $17. We jump over to the big dog, Apple shares. $176.28. As of close Friday, we put it on a 15 minute. A little bit higher this morning with the market from Apple. We jump over to Microsoft shares. Microsoft's going to pop $2 on the open. How about that? You get the NASDAQ 100 up 76 points. Stay tuned, folks. We'll be right back in three minutes.

We've got the S&Ps up 12 points right now. We jump over to Alphabet Shares. Google. Quite a year. We're talking about 29.71 on Friday. We put it on a three-year weekly to talk about this acceleration. COVID lows at about a thousand. You came into this year though at 17.50. You're going to close out the year at almost 3,000. You're pushing right up against, I believe, the 2 trillion mark. Let's pull it up. 1.959 trillion dollars for Google shares at 29.42. Interesting. Just talking about some of those valuations here on CNBC. Stocks up almost 70 percent this year right near 2 trillion dollars by far the best performance of any of the big tech stocks. Man, they get some big numbers in here in terms of the numbers. Microsoft, 51 percent. Apple, 33 percent. Facebook, now Metta. We're going to talk a little bit about Facebook too later in the program. Up 23 percent. Amazon, it's been a consolidation for Amazon after accelerating big time early on in the pandemic. You got up 5 percent. Tesla's up 51 percent on the year after pulling back. NASDAQ 100, up 27 percent. Alphabet, they're an advertising company. Majority of their revenue from advertising business. Proven resilient. Check out some of the numbers they're talking about though. In the third quarter earnings report in October, 43 percent increase in advertising revenue to 53.1 billion dollars. Imagine that. You're doing 53 billion dollars in 90 days. And you're growing that business year over year by 43 percent. YouTube ad sales, similar jumps, 7.2 billion. Earnings top in estimates, man. You don't got to spend a lot of money to just send out ads when people are trying to service them. Folks, I found myself watching YouTube, which I do watch a lot, that now I got to watch two ads. Right? Now I got to watch two ads. Sometimes I can't even hit the forward button. They're changing here as they have more and more supply of ads that they can deliver. They're saying, we're just going to push it out to the public because we're getting paid for two ads now. You got to watch two ads now sometimes when you're watching YouTube videos. But man, Google, Alphabet, they are cashing it in a big way. For the full year, revenue expected to climb 39 percent to a quarter trillion dollars with 4 billion left over. 254 billion dollars full year revenue. Fastest growth since 2007. Google is growing at the fastest rate in 14 years. Imagine the size of the company back in 2007 versus the size of the company now. And really, I don't have a large position in Google at all. I think I have some. But the point being, it's remarkable numbers, folks. And they're getting rewarded, rightfully so, for their share price because when you look at those types of numbers, you look at that type of growth, you look at the earnings, staggering, staggering growth in a big way. And if you recall, last August, they were the ones that were supposed to be in trouble in terms of antitrust. You trade from 1750 down to 1400. You trade off $350 on that price point. And man, what a buy in that opportunity. That was below 1500. You've doubled your money since the market took off back there in October slash November with Google coming into the year at 1750, 2942. Remarkable. Let's jump around to some of those other fank stocks as I was finishing it up. There's Amazon. Quite a different story back in this consolidation. I do have some Amazon folks there, Lager this year. But man, in the long run, I see a lot of success with less risk for the potential for that reward, right? I mean, there are many stocks out there, folks, that you can get a 10-bagger. Easy. As in, yeah, it's very possible. And I say easy if you want to risk the amount of times that you might go bankrupt to get that 10-bagger. Okay? Let's say you want a stock that goes up 50% in a year. You want an exposure to a stock that's going to go up 50% in a year. You're dealing with some volatility that can go in both directions. All right? What I love about Amazon is you have the opportunity to go higher in a big way, even though you're Lager this year, with the support of knowing that you're not going to get a company, in my opinion, that's going to tumble. And right now, you're talking about a company that's valued for a company like Amazon at 1.7 trillion, yeah, 1.7 trillion. So you're behind all the big dogs. You got Apple at 3 trillion, right? You got Microsoft. They're getting up there as well, man. Microsoft, 2.5 trillion. Google's at 2 trillion. Amazon's only at 1.7 in that context. So on a contextual basis, just by pure market capitalization, 1.7 trillion. Now, if there's pullbacks, folks, the multiples are going to pay the price on many of these equities, but where would you see a company like Amazon cascading to? Do you ever see it going back under a trillion dollars? Now, that would be almost a 50% haircut. So we don't want to see that if you're a long-term investor. But you get the point. We're at valuations for that company. You can solid it for 14, 15 months. It becomes even more attractive. You got to find a base in terms of after the acceleration this company had. Because remember, the rest of the market only started accelerating higher in really November when you had Amazon trading at 3,000. Amazon came into COVID at 1,800. So they popped before the market did because of their pickup on all the orders of people shopping online. I'm giving you the bull case, but it's nice when you get that type of consolidation after the run-up. And man, if you ever get a move again to what we had, you traded from 1,600 up to a price point of about 3,500. You're talking about $1,900. If you take that same move, maybe you start from anywhere here. Folks, you're pushing 5,000 on Amazon. Nice round number. We'll see if that hits. But not out of the question when you think about that Amazon was trading at 3,500 more than a year ago. Eventually there will be some pickup there, I imagine, to the upside after this consolidation. It's tried to break out of that consolidation a couple of times and pulled back. Right now though, Amazon is going to open up about 13 bucks. Now, let's jump into Facebook. Facebook shares. Quite the pullback for them recently, from 384 all the way down to a low of 299.50. You've popped a bit from there. You have Facebook up about $3 this morning from 335 to 338. You're still going to be almost $50 off the highs. You came into 2020 at a price point of 271 though. So it's still a nice acceleration with the market up to 335. Now I bring up Facebook. It's one of my Christmas presents, folks. It was Oculus Quest 2, the virtual reality headset from Facebook's Oculus. And I got to tell you, it's pretty cool, man. I give Facebook a lot of grief. I am not a fan of Facebook itself, folks. It fosters like the worst thinking imaginable. It's a cesspool of negativity, in my opinion, Facebook overall. Yes, there's some good areas of Facebook in terms of sharing pictures and the likes. Most of it is just people complaining and talking politics, talking everything they don't like in life and ranting. But man, if you haven't tried one of these headsets, folks, I encourage you to go out there and try it. Even from an investor perspective, because the way that you feel immersed in the environment that you're in just by putting on a headset was pretty mind-blowing. That's what I kept trying to share to the people around the house during the holidays. I say, you got to just look in here to see how immersive the feeling is that you put on a headset, you have two-hand modules that you can hold so you can see your hands in front of you when you have the headset on. And you're in an environment that actually changes how you feel in terms of a 3D basis. It really made me change the way, yeah, bye-bye-bye. It really made me change the way I thought about all that. I was talking to my dad. He's over there chatting with the Tigers. Dan, now here's the disclaimer from an investor perspective. Zuckerberg's a believer and now I can kind of get a glimpse why. But man, if you're a believer, I imagine you can spend so much money on this technology. It might scare the heck out of market participants because then the step you have to get to is the final step. And they're talking about already, though. You heard it. Maybe you got a suit that you wear so you can feel everything right. Maybe you're sitting there on a treadmill so you can actually move in your 3D environment five or 10 years down the road, I imagine, folks. But I encourage you to check it out because it is pretty cool and it made me rethink how I will look at meta going forward. Stay tuned, folks. We'll be right back from the Market Open.

We're trading right now $47.32. Tech stocks higher. Nasdaq 100 up. $70.84. The Russell up above three points right now. You jump to travel stocks, though, not quite the same scenario. Travel stocks quite a weekend, man. Unfortunately, and this is where, folks, you're seeing it that no matter what happens in terms of just getting things set up there, excuse me. No matter what happens with shutdowns, et cetera, these flare-ups are going to have economic impacts. It's remarkable. You get the market sitting at all-time highs when you cannot deny that we just had 2,800 flight cancellations. 2,800 over Christmas weekend. These poor people, as in almost 3,000 flights, imagine the problems that created for people flying home for the holidays, et cetera. You got the airlines trading down lower, as you would expect. United's down 2.1. We'll pull up some of these charts. You get Delta. You get the cruise ships down as well. 2,800 over Christmas weekend, disrupting travel. You also had a winter storm in the northwest part of the country, adding difficulties on Sunday. I was seeing videos of some friends out there. I mean, just an absolute storm in a big way. The market will likely allow the situation a few weeks to play out to see if infection rates drop as they have in South Africa. And hopefully so, because the numbers are pretty, pretty harsh in terms of the way this thing is spreading. It does look like it's just going to rip through the entire population over the next 30 or 60 days. We'll see how that happens. But these travel stocks jumping around. There's American. You're down 3.4% on the open. And this is with an S&P that's up about 1.5% right now. All the market's catching a little bit of a lift on the open. You jump over to Delta shares, down 3%. You jump to domestically jet blue shares right now, down 3%. You jump over to Southwest, down 2.3%. We jump to the cruise lines, Norwegian, NCLH, down 5%. The cruise lines are always a little bit more volatile than the airlines. You jump to Carnival, down about 5% as well. Let's jump to some of the fang stocks again. See how they're opening Amazon slightly in the green right now. Apple up almost a full percent. Look at that. It's a 1.7809 on the open. We jump to Microsoft shares, up 2.3%. Tesla shares right now, up more than a full percent at 1,078%. All right, what else we got going on? Let's see. What do I got pulled up here? Yeah, let's talk a little bit of movies with a dud and with a winner. You start things off with, and this is interesting that I have not been too in tune with movies besides the fact that there's a new matrix out and it's available on HBO. I'm not a shareholder on HBO, folks. I am a customer. Bought HBO Max within the last year. Partly because there were so many great movies that were coming out throughout the year and HBO decided to offer their full slate of theater releases available on HBO Max. My friends have been seeing the new matrix. They've said go see it in a movie theater and they're probably right. Those are the types of movies nowadays that you may want to still go see in a theater. Outside of COVID though, not sure I'm comfortable with unvaccinated kids still in the house. So these are the things that weigh on the economy, but we're going to jump. Spider-Man's reached a billion dollars. So the possibility is out there, but here's where things get interesting, right? You have a movie like West Side Story directed by Steven Spielberg, maybe even produced. It says Steven Spielberg's West Side Story probably produced and directed by Spielberg failed to gain traction with audiences at the box office, $36.6 million in the first three weeks, a budget of $100 million, and that does not include marketing costs. Here's what I will say is I haven't seen any marketing. I don't think about this West Side Story. Maybe I'm not around in the areas that they are marketing to as in the channels, but they're talking about here. This is geared towards an older audience and just like I was talking about older audiences may not be quite comfortable getting back into a theater right now. You jump to a different story. Spider-Man with Sony and Disney co-producing that the first film to surpass a billion dollars, $1.05 billion for the global box office and also claimed the title of Highest Grossing. And the last film to do that was Disney's Star Wars, the rise of Skywalker in 2019. Now, I believe that Disney had something like eight different movies all grossed a billion dollars in 2019. It was some staggering amount of movies. And you see that last one we had was 2019. We get none in 2020, we get one in 2021 as we come into the last five trading days. So maybe that's a sign that life is going back to normal. But as you see, things differing. When you bring a movie like West Side Story geared to an older crowd, you spent $100 million to do it and you release it. As unfortunately Omicron is spreading because remember this is talking about three weeks, right? The market started flipping out on November 26th, the Friday after Thanksgiving. So you have this movie, West Side Story, opening basically for the entire new cycle of Omicron over the last few weeks and there's no denying the way these cases are spreading. I think Florida went something like two weeks ago. Florida announces their data on a weekly basis each Friday. Two weeks ago, we were at something like 3,000 positive cases for the entire week. Last Friday, now I'm going back like nine or 10 days, you were at something like 30,000, 28,000 and this most recent update, like 113,000. So over the course of two weeks, you go from 13,000 cases to over 100,000 cases and I know that's happening almost everywhere. In the Northeast, I know it's happening. It's happening out West now and the wave has come to Florida immediately over the last two weeks. Point being back to the market, you can see how that is going to impact things with a movie like this just absolutely bombing. When you spend 100 million, you only push out about 36 million at the box office, does not include marketing cost, et cetera. Compare it to the fact that the market is there, just a different market. Spider-Man, no way home, grossing a billion dollars. They got two big actors in there. Tom Holland and Benedict Cumberbatch, two great stars over there. I really like Benedict Cumberbatch. He's been in some great flicks recently and yeah, billion dollars. Okay, what else we have happening when I got up here? Let's jump back to the market. JP Morgan says, investors are too bearish. Does not see a stock sell-off. Strategists say market concentration doesn't indicate a peak. It's your bull case, folks. US rally may become broader in January according to a note though. Is there take on things? There's no reason to fear that the rally, the catapulted US stocks to successive records this year will end any time soon according to JP Morgan. In fact, more investors may join. Conditions for a large sell-off are not in place right now, given already low investor positioning. Already low investor positioning at 4,700 and change in the S&P. Record buybacks, can't argue with that. Limited systematic amplifiers. Not sure that that one will play out correctly. Positive January seasonals. Investor positioning is too bearish. The market has taken the hawkish, central bank and bearish Omicron narratives too far. So hang on to that one for a second, okay? I mean, I'm always trying to keep the spikes up on my back, folks, when you have the market up so much over so many years in the face of so much volatility and unknown, okay? We're coming into quite an interesting time here that you have cases spreading and more importantly, you have the Fed ramping up to raise rates and still curtail asset purchases. I mean, we are not used to rates rising in the way that they may over the next two years. How is the economy going to handle that? How are, you know, whether it's banks, just companies going to manage the fact that capital is going to become much more expensive versus a 0% bound that we're in. And meanwhile, you have one of the best banks out there, J.P. Morgan saying the market has taken too... dovish? Excuse me, the market has taken the central bank and Omicron narratives too far. Well, I bring that up as we go into the break right now, folks. We're about to break all-time highs to the tick as we speak. Today is your daily. We're within three points. This is when the note comes out. I'm going to put an arrow in it. I'm going to say J.P. Morgan said the market is reacting too negatively. Look at that. Can you imagine? I'm going to put that on that chart. The market is reacting too negatively right here at $47.40.

Distributor, Four-Side Fund Services, LLC. Welcome back, folks. We're at the S&Ps right now. Up 24 points. You're talking about right within record territory. Got within about a point and a half of where we were in the open. Right now, you're trading higher. By 24 points, half a percent in the S&Ps, you're trading up almost 9-tenths percent in the NASDAQ 100. We take a look at where we are there. You're talking about 300 points about 330 points. 330? Yes. 330 to be exact. 16,000. Fourth year to the eighth. The highs, you back things up 11 days ago on December 16th. We're talking about a high there. 16,457. So just off that high. It would be interesting to see how we react right where we are in the NASDAQ 100 because you see we've had about three different times that we've traded up to this price level. December 16th, we were up there on December 8th and 9th. Also up there on November 29th and 30th. We'll see if we can plow through that level right now. Dow, a little bit of weaker action, only up a tenth a percent, and the Russell turning negative down three-tenths percent. We jump to commodities, gold, pretty calm action, down about a buck right now. You got crude off about 30 cents. We jump to notes and bonds to see the action, pretty tame action as well. You get the 10-year, up one tick, you get the 30-year, up five ticks, and we get the VIX right now, 1871 on the Volatility Index. Okay, jumping on to other stories that caught my eye this morning talking about robotics on a grand scale. Just interesting to try and wrap your brain around. So this article out on Bloomberg, excuse me, on CNBC this morning, the robot workforce isn't coming, it's already here. I would encourage you to try and think like this, folks, because when I'm making investments, especially for the longer term, it's the reason why I bring up Facebook five or ten years down the future, down the road. It's amazing to think what these headsets are going to be like, folks. I'm serious. I'll pull the headset and show what you've probably seen pictures of people. You've seen the videos, right, of people playing Oculus. They get all disoriented. Maybe they smack into a wall. Maybe they fall face first, right on the floor. The future is coming. It's coming probably faster than we all think about. I just had a son. He's going to be 11 months old soon. Crazy to think about what the world's going to be like when he's 30, 35, 40, like myself. Just crazy, let alone just five or ten years down the future with self-driving cars very close. Robotics, they're talking about here. Retailers, restaurants, looking to robotics and other technology to keep up with demand in a tighter labor market. It's going to incentivize the push even further when you're paying higher wages for human capital. If robots can do it, folks, this is going to be the battle over the next ten years in terms of how do we have a healthy economy for all, not just for stocks, when you have so many workers potentially displaced by robotics. We've got a lot of people who use robots to scrub store floors and can scan inventory and cupcake chain sprinkles, has replaced traditional cash shears with self-checkout kiosks. That seems to be something that probably could have been done ten years ago. Diners and shoppers, impatient and long waiting periods of poor service welcome the changes. It's a fine line though because we've all been in the grocery stores when only the self-checkout aisle is kind of possible. And I tell you that even with long lines after those self-checkout aisles, especially in a grocery store where you may have a lot of items, sometimes it feels like that grocery store is being a little cheap. And maybe they should be paying for more capital for the amount of money they're making as opposed to just forcing all their shoppers to run through the computer to check out. But guess what? That's where the future is going. They just got to do it in a manner where the customer is happy. Now what I want to look at here real quick is that you talk about Amazon. Now this jumps through a bunch of them. Amazon has been using these for a long time in terms of their company. I started jumping around over the break. It's all the way back in 2012. You're talking about in five days folks, that'll be ten years ago. A decade ago, Amazon spent almost $800 million and this is a decade ago to purchase a young robotics company called Kiva. Kiva Systems that gave it ownership over a new breed of mobile robots that could carry shelves of products from worker to worker, reading barcodes on the ground, etc. Excuse me. Today, Amazon has more than 200 mobile robots working inside its warehouse network and folks, this article though is from 2019. You're talking about two years ago, this article was written. You had them spending $100 million, point being basically the wave is coming, robotics are coming, a company like Amazon you think about what they've been able to do probably over the course of ten years owning a robotics company they spent $800 million for it is mind-blowing. S&Ps right now up 25 points at 4740, NASDAQ up 120 and the Dow up 117. Let's jump around to what else I had in terms of taking a look at. Interesting article here talking about older denomination besides the euros. Two decades after billions in old cash is being hoarded, almost 10 billion in phased out currencies is still unredeemed. They got a lot of cash underneath their pillows somewhere. Now it's interesting the deadline to swap some of these is coming up. The deadline has already passed for some of them. Two decades after euros were first minted and distributed billions in cash denominated in the national currencies that were abandoned and it's out there and you check out. So in the blue is redeemable notes and coins so Germany's got a lot of them. There's a lot of notes and coins still in Germany that can be redeemed and then you jump to the worthless areas though like Spain and Italy and France other countries aren't so patient France, Spain and Italy have all ceased exchanging old money and still still you got big time money out there 793 million euros in Spain, Italy 1.2 billion oh I see that was 793 yeah, Spain has notes and bonds excuse me, notes and coins to the tune of 793 and 782 just kind of interesting to see how that shakes out no real market impact they're not sure exactly why it goes on Euro cash was introduced January of 2002 initially used in 12 of the areas. Central Bank is now pushing out plans to devise new banknotes and they're going to be designed by 2024 over in the euro alright jumping around to China Diddy shares slumping after insiders blocked from selling stock just another reminder folks that you are at the whim of the Chinese regime over there if you were trading these companies doesn't mean that you can't make money but boy you're dealing with variables that are very hard to quantify over there. We jump over to Diddy you're up half a percent actually you were down to 538 you claw back some of those losses we just had the deli up that is quite a demise from their IPO to 18 I mean look where this is traded even from when you recalibrated from 15 down to 12 on the first news of there being problems potentially with what's going on you're trading at 563 this thing just keeps sliding I mean we jump over to some of the other shares Alibaba you're up 2.38 percent right now but back in February you're trading at 274 you're trading at 121 if I was trading any of these I would just do it very short term alright and just like that did we get there we did we got an all-time high print in the S&P is right now 4744 NASDAQ up 122 but S&P let's check out some of the fang stocks and see how they're trading Apple's going to help when you get the biggest company in the world up 9 tenths percent at 177 89 second biggest company in the world up 9 tenths percent as well Microsoft at 337 we jump to Google shares up 6 tenths percent we jump to Amazon up half a percent Facebook I guess I'm not the only one that got Oculus for Christmas maybe Facebook look at that pop on the open man I should have been buying on the open that was the plan from 338 up to 343 for Facebook shares you're up 2.5 percent right now for Facebook alright folks we got record prints on the S&P at 4745 stay

that's 877-518-9190 welcome back folks we got the S&Ps up 25 NASDAQ 100 up 113 right now pulling back a bit from the high spike we got on the open the Dow catching a little bit you're up 117 the Russell though negative territory to kick off the trading week jumping back to that story from Diddy because it's a wake up folks basically they did he slumped on Monday we pulled it up though it's actually already back to positive current and former employees of the firm have been banned from selling any of their stock indefinitely and this comes right as employees are set to be able to sell stock on Monday at the end of Diddy's 180 day lock up period following its June IPO and we took a look at it it is pretty remarkable folks when you think about sorry when you think about that maybe there were some that were saying you know it's really unfortunate that we had to hold this for months when it traded from 18 to 5 61 but at least 180 days is over and I can cash in on my shares that I've been waiting for an extended period of time and China says no we're not going to allow selling because we don't do that in stocks that we need not to go lower nonetheless that would never happen in America thankfully and it's happening over there and you should be worried because they are manipulating shares to trade above where true supply and demand would equal folks okay that's the real lesson there that they're trying to manipulate shares to trade higher by using rules as they do but that doesn't always play out well because the market can sometimes be stronger than those forces nonetheless just a heads up alright we get the S&Ps up 24 folks quite a remarkable acceleration when you look at where we are we jump to notes and bonds to finish up the show pretty tame action on a 5 minute basis a little bit of a lift from where we were at about 6 in the morning you're up about 6-6 right now 10 year we're trading at 1.30 19 you jump over in terms of the yield you're talking about
