 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, non-AM Eastern Time Tuesday morning. We got about 30 minutes to go until the starter trading all the markets in positive territory. Quite the acceleration yesterday to end quite a week month of January. We began February trading in slightly positive territory. You got the S&Ps right now up four points to kick off the session up, excuse me, trading at 45.08 right now. Really remarkable when you look at the action. Even just from last Thursday, I'm going to put this real quick, that's a five minute chart I have up here on the S&Ps. I'm going to jump to a 30 minute to get a 10 day move to bring in last Monday's action because you're talking about almost 300 S&P points from the low that we had on last Monday. We were right back down near that area last Friday, remarkable. We were down at a price level of a low of about 42.67. You're talking about 250 S&P points just from Friday early. NASDAQ 100, you just had best two days in the NASDAQ 100 since March of 2020, I believe we'll pull that headline up in a few. But yeah, you're talking about 1,000 points from where we were on Friday's action, 13,833, make it 1120 points to be exact. We're pushing 15,000 this morning on the NASDAQ 100, 14,953. You get the Dow up 20 points, back above 35,000, 35,018 in the Russell, up by one, 20,25. Bitcoin nearing 39,000 right now, 38,940. We got the crew contract, some slight negative action again, we're on a 30 minute chart right now. When you bring in last week's action, you see from about Wednesday, your crew jumping around from about 86.50 up to 88.50, maybe a little bit above, you got a high there 88.84 on Friday, right now technically you have crewed down almost a dollar at 87.20. You have gold catching a slight bit off the lows of Friday, quite the pullback on the Federal Reserve statement last Wednesday. The gold contract spikes from 18.54 down to 17.80, since then we've spiked a bit. You're up $9 on the gold contract this morning, Silver's up 56 pennies, pushing $23 and notes and bonds right now, got a little bit of higher price on the session. But you look at where we were two hours ago, you just gave up 10 ticks in the tenure right now. You're talking about a 10 year, positive three ticks on the session, we're talking about a yield right now, back under 1.8%, 1.777 to be exact, we'll call it 1.78% to round off that number. And we jump over to the volatility index, talk about giving it up, 2431. I talked about in my program, you take a look at this VIX, you put it on a weekly, you take out the huge spike that we had at the beginning of the pandemic, you gotta keep your eye on some of these spikes folks, because when we were pushing 40 last Monday, okay, that's when that number hit, 38.94 last Monday when the market was accelerating to negative prices, you had to start realizing that we were pushing levels folks of usually a turnaround. That's what we got, you push 40 on the VIX, you're talking about trading at levels that we hadn't traded at in all of 2021, and you were back to October of 2020, twice. Since the pandemic hit when you had the VIX spike to about 80 and change, did you have the VIX trade where above where it traded at on Monday, and since then, boy, talk about giving it up, you're trading at 2430 on the volatility index right now this morning. All right, let's jump around and see how some of the fang stocks are trading this morning, Amazon back above 3,000 didn't take long, I mean, check this out, from last Friday folks, you got Amazon trading up $250, you push in, what is that? Yeah, 9%, something crazy like that, I mean, $275 would be 10% on the dot, quite the acceleration as they come into their numbers, Amazon this morning going to be cheered, positive by about 10 bucks with the market this morning a bit higher. Apple shares trading higher as well, 174.79, you closed yesterday basically right where we're trading at right now. All right, let's jump around some of the headlines we got going on, Nasdaq futures recover will global stocks rally, S&P 500 contract futures fluctuate after two day equity rally, Fed officials caution against faster than necessary tightening, lots going on in the market right now, but let's jump around to some of the stocks and we'll kick it off with AT&T, they're going to spin off Warner Media, $43 billion discovery media merger cuts the dividend AT&T, they're going to spin that off, $43 billion transaction to merge its media properties with discovery, AT&T share holds, they're going to get 71% of the new Warner Brothers discovery company and they're going to receive 0.24 shares of Warner Brothers discovery for each AT&T share they own. Yeah, interesting action when you talk about streaming and the likes, there's your action on AT&T down from $25.50 to about $24, you're going to open lower this morning, you're going to open lower as well as both of those stocks getting a little bit punished this morning. Other news out there, Exxon Mobile out with their numbers, fourth quarter profit tops estimate oil and gas prices soar, as we know right, these oil companies better be making money right now with where oil is and there's Exxon on that news, $77.46 they spike to they give it up looks like you're going to open a little bit higher, but you know all things considered, you just had Exxon trading at $60 to kick off the year, you just traded up $15, that's a 25% pop folks to begin 2021, lofty expectations, I'd say they would be just fine if that stock just held on to the gains it had this year so far on their earnings and it looks to as you're a little bit higher on Exxon Mobile earnings this morning, FedEx, they're going to suspend some domestic express rate services on the Omercron hit folks, I talked about it yesterday, you can hear me, I'm a little bit stuffed up myself getting over a case of COVID last year, last year I wish, last week, this week, last week with my family and yeah, I was talking about last week as I'm about to cop, excuse me, I'll reset my, so I was talking yesterday for the jobs number coming on Friday for January, expect to see a hit man, I'm living it, I had kids in the house, the fiance was out with COVID, the disruption in businesses folks that takes place when you got to be out, I mean, even working from home with a family with kids, the number of cases hitting it is almost impossible not to disrupt normal life, you're seeing it right now in FedEx, there's nothing they can do folks, you got people out, you got people sick, maybe they're family sick, maybe they need to isolate for a few days or they want to, nonetheless they can't get the number of employees they need, so on Tuesday, today, suspended domestic express rate services due to a staff shortage as cases of Omercron variant of the coronavirus rose, now think about if they are like suspending services at the core of their business, what does that say about the possibility of hiring for the month, right, you have to imagine this is going to have a pretty severe hit on the January number, the one thing I will say is probably going to be a little transitory and FedEx trading higher, so getting into it last month, the company had warned that rising cases of the variant had caused staff shortage, they suspended that, yeah, international economy free pickup services, that had been paused earlier, that's going to resume on Monday, severe winter storms around the country, staff shortages, several US airlines are canceling things, yeah, and unfortunately we're still pushing over 2,000 deaths a day to COVID, but FedEx, we'll get into a little bit more because I imagine there's more going on than that as FedEx going to be up $8 on the open this morning, now this stock you take a look at the weekly, right, you're going to open at about $255, quite the pullback here from $319 down to about $212, almost back to a 50% of the entire run-up you had from COVID this morning, though you're going to open up about $9 higher, it's $254 for FedEx shares, oh, you know what that was? That's UPS earnings, isn't it? Yeah, it sure is, we'll get into that afterwards, so FedEx trading higher on you, UPS earnings, UPS, check that out, right, from $200 to $220, we'll go over that in a little bit, folks, we're going to come back, we'll be talking to our man, Kevin Hinks, from TV Ameritrade Fast Market, folks, don't miss it, we'll be right back in three minutes, stay tuned.

NASDAQ 100 up 32, the Dow barely in positive territory up nine points above 35,000 and 35,006. Russell just sneaking into the negative by one point right now at 2022. Let's jump over to our man, Kevin Hinks. Every trading day, folks. 12 noon Eastern time, fast market on the TD Ameritrade Network. Kevin Hinks, Tom White, the team breaking down the day's market action, walking you through hypothetical trade setups, folks. We're talking options. We're talking defined risk. We're talking earning season. We're talking non-farm payrolls on Friday. Kevin Hinks, good morning. Good morning, Tommy. Yeah, there's a lot going on today. It doesn't get any, you know, the pace doesn't slow down as we get to a Tuesday. I mean, this is going to be obviously any day that you can have Google Alphabet, AMD, Starbucks, like Folio will do a presentation on Starbucks. Obviously, we'll be talking about Google Alphabet. So these shows on days like this, Tommy, they write themselves. I mean, there's so much to go over on a day like this. It's pretty remarkable, Kevin. I haven't talked to you in a few days, man. We've had a lot happening since I talked to you. I think last Wednesday, man, before Chairman Powell had a chance to voice his opinions. Let's just put it that way and send the market into a little bit of volatility. But man, talk about a resurgence kicking things off Friday into Monday. And Kevin, we come into non-farm payrolls for Friday. Part of the discussion out there is that the expectation is a pretty weak number of 150,000. We got the Omicron variants put in a little bit of hurting on maybe the expectation. What's your expectation as you look forward to that number in terms of where we are and maybe how the market may react to a number if it's going to cause any angst at all? What are you looking for on Friday there? Some of the expectations are for pretty modest numbers. But I think the biggest part of this, Tommy, will be the wages number. I think the wages number will drive interest rates, which will drive inflation talk, which will drive these markets going forward, Tommy. So I think the wages data in the non-farm payroll, which it was 0.6 a month ago, they're looking the consensus right now is for it to be up 0.5. That's a number much like the income and outlays number last Friday. Remember, calm inflation numbers, the market will really like and embrace. And I think when you look at a day like today, you know, 15,000 in the NASDAQ is a pretty important number. It's like 15,013 is right at the 200 day moving average, Tommy. So a move through that and a close through that will be pretty bullish. And so I think this week, you know, it's going to get a little hectic. So obviously, non-farm payroll is unemployment. Number one data point in my opinion of the month, Tommy. And so the wages, I think, will be a key part of looking at yield going forward. You make some great points, man. That's why I asked a question. And yeah, I agree. You laid it out very well, Kevin, because I started trying to do the gymnastics in my own head yesterday, man, saying, OK, what if it is a really, you know, weak number? I don't think that's going to have as big of an impact because of the potential influence of this last variant, hopefully, that we deal with for a last spike. And maybe that's not the focus because it probably shouldn't be with unemployment at 3.9%. The focus should be on, you know, stable prices, right? Fed has two mandates, man, maximum employment and stable prices. Boy, one of those is roaring its head right now. And it's not maximum employment because that's where we are, man. It's the stable prices they got to get a hold of. We're in earnings, as you talk about UPS out there with some pretty strong earnings this morning. Kevin, they're pushing all time highs right now at 220. You got FedEx out there trading higher as well, but they're going to have to put a stop on some of their services because of the Omicron variant putting a hurting on some of the just ability to have workers in the short term right now. Pretty remarkable when you look at these shipping companies, UPS, in particular, we're pushing all time highs right now. You got FedEx, a good 60, 70 bucks off of the all time highs. Yeah, I mean, you know, it's not really surprising that these shipping companies are doing extremely well. Just like it's not surprising that ExxonMobil had a really good quarter when Crude all moves up like it does. So, you know, these companies, though, a lot of our discussion yesterday on UPS was margin and how are they going to grow margins going forward? And, you know, their CEO's mantra is better not bigger, right? So they're trying to improve their company from within and, you know, like we did a great presentation yesterday on how the happiness in UPS is significantly higher than the happiness at FedEx. So, you know, this is a company that is focusing on small to medium and businesses, focusing on health care, doing other things. So, yeah, not really surprising that they had a really good quarter, Tommy. Pretty cool, man. I listened to part of that and I just was thinking in my own head, Kevin, and I don't have a lot of experience as in just customer. I don't ship a lot with FedEx, right? I don't get a lot of packages with FedEx that show up at my door, so maybe that's part of it. But for some reason in my head, I almost have a better perception of UPS somehow that they've got that done. I don't know how that happens, but maybe I'm getting more packages on UPS, maybe I'm seeing those brown vehicles running around more often. But somehow in my own head, perception. Perception is everything sometimes. So, we go to Google, of course, Kevin. I'm jumping over to the Analyze tab right now on the Thinkorswim platform. I got Google up. We got a $118 move priced into this equity, man. Little bit of a pullback to put it lightly from $3,000 to $2,500. But do you want to give us a little teaser for maybe your opinion as we come into Google Alphabet and what you'll be looking for for them this afternoon? Well, you know, it's a combination, right? Not only did some of these stocks go down because of questions about their business going forward in weakness like Amazon, but there was also a global sell-off that affected some of these names. And what did it do? At one point, Google last week was extremely oversold. Now it's come back and it's resting right at, just above to start the day, it's 200-day moving average. Right, it broke well significantly below that. The 200-day moving average right now is $2,706. It closed $2,713, so it got through there yesterday. I think the next move you got to look at, Tommy, is up above the 50-day moving average, which is about $28,39, which we're going to open really close to that right now, the bit is $2,740. So, yeah, this is going to get a little interesting, going in, but, you know, it's such a big company. What, you know, there's going to be a lot of metrics that they're going to look at, Tommy. So yeah, it's going to be a fun day, that's for sure. Oh, these tech companies, man, you mentioned Amazon, I pulled up Amazon, Amazon. Amazon's up, Kevin, almost 9%, 10%, 9% I think since Friday's low. It's not, Tuesday trading hasn't even begun yet, man. Just mammoth moves across the board. Well, Kevin, we look forward to the program as always, man. I'm sure it's going to be a good one today this week. We got so much happening with earnings, with non-farm payroll. We appreciate the conversation as always, man, and we'll be watching at 12 noon today. Thanks for having me on, Tommy. Have a great day. You too, Kevin. Take care, folks. Every day, outstanding program, fast market on the TD Ameritrade Network, the host, Kevin Hinks, Tom White, they do an outstanding job. And when we get a week like non-farm payrolls and you throw in there, we get, like you said, AMD, you got Google, they're going to be going over Starbucks as well. Check out the program if you haven't, folks. It's outstanding. I've learned a tremendous amount myself from Kevin, Tom, and the team over there. Markets right now, we're higher, folks. S&Ps up about six points. We got the NASDAQ, they're going to kick off February trading in positive territory. NASDAQ 100, 14,955 right now. You get the NASDAQ futures, not the NASDAQ 100. NASDAQ futures pushing 15,000 as well. You're talking about 14,936. Dow futures back above 35,000 as well. Stay tuned, folks. We'll be coming right back for the market open.

We got the S&P up about five points right now, trading at 45.09 Nasdaq 100, barely in the green by about 20 points right now. Dow up 27 right now. We jump over to some of the stocks that are making moves this morning. We check out AT&T. AT&T opens down 4.8% this morning. We got Discovery opening down 6.7%, ExxonMobil holding onto the gains up about 8.10%. As Kevin Hanks pointed out, some strong numbers. But boy, as I stated at the start of the show, you're up about, what is that? 25% to kick off 2021 and holding onto those gains through earnings with some pretty lofty expectations to say the least. We jump over to UPS. There's a pop for you. This thing was trading at 2.20 when I was just talking to Kevin. Yeah, and there's your pop up to 2.25. You're up 11.5% on UPS. Man, oh man. Jump over to FedEx. A little bit of a different reaction. FedEx up 2.6%. Now what's interesting is that they suspend their domestic express freight services on the Omicron hit, but they're trading higher on UPS's beat out there. Excuse me folks, still getting over this thing a little bit. But you can see that even in the face of suspending services, the market not gonna get phased folks as that is a temporary hit. If we miss on the non-farm payroll number on Friday, that's gonna be a temporary hit as well, but Kevin Hanks made some great points. The wage number is not gonna be probably as skewed as maybe the net gain or loss number could. It's still gonna be impacted though folks by this Omicron hit. So I would not expect the market to have too big of a reaction to Friday's number considering that the Fed is not gonna have too big of a reaction to Friday's number. That's where I look into things, right? Nonetheless, we have the markets actually turning over a bit, all the markets into the red, just that quick. All right, let's jump around to what else we have going on out here. Getting into those UPS numbers, so pretty strong numbers in a big way there. And what also the market loving I did once talk about, hiking the quarterly dividend to a buck 52 a share. That's a hike by 49% net income rising to a record 3.15 billion in 90 days. Not bad, 359 a share versus 310. Yeah, they got a bunch of expenses of course is what they're talking about. So when you talk about net income beating, that's what the market loves to hear because as Kevin put it, margins, margins, margins. And how about it? Adjusted margins of 13.7% in 2022 above 2021 levels despite rising labor and few costs. How they did it? I'm not sure, but they did it folks. They got rising margins in the face of a delivery company with crude pushing $100 a barrel. They're forecasting 102 billion in 2022 beating the estimates of about 100 billion. Just staggering numbers across the board for UPS there. ExxonMobil, when you get into their numbers, 205 a share, market was looking for a buck 93 revenue. Short though, 84.97 billion market was looking for almost 92 billion in the same quarter a year ago, 46.54 billion. How about a difference there, right? Big numbers for ExxonMobil, they hold on to their gains that they've had this year so far. All right, jumping around other stocks, we have AMC out with their numbers. They were trading higher in the pre-market. Let's see if the meme stocks can hold on to it. Yes, holding on to those gains. Up about 9% for AMC shares trading at 1752. You were as high as 1888. Let's see how game stops trading just out of curiosity. Little bit higher as well. Up about 3% as the Reddit stocks catch a little bit of a bid so far this morning. We talked about UPS and ExxonMobil. You have serious satellite radio with their numbers. They beat quarterly earnings of eight cents a share. They beat by a penny. Revenue came in above forecast as well. Special dividend, market always likes special dividends unless they're covering for bad news. But there is serious up 7.10%. You take a look at this equity, just chopping around for the longest time this year. You back it up even further, right? We've been in a consolidation between six and 650 on serious, basically for the entire part of the last year, which is remarkable that this stock just chops around in that little refined area. All right, what else we got going on here? Serious logic. They beat, yes, by 40 cents. So about 254. Semiconductor company revenue above estimates issued stronger than expected. Current quarter revenue guidance, but not quite living up to expectations. CRUS is their symbol. Yeah, down about 6%. Putting it back on a 15 minute to see the action. They come out with their numbers spiked to 102. Conference call, maybe some outlook worries there as serious logic down 6.3%. As we have all the markets slipped into the positive right now. Jumping over to Bitcoin. Bitcoin up at about 39,000 right now, up 500 bucks on the session. We check out Ethereum shares, quite the rebound for these crypto coins, 28.01 for Ethereum. All right, let's jump around to some of the other stocks that people like to take a look at. We got Tesla after Tesla accelerates higher. Well, yesterday in some upgrade news, Tesla giving back marginal $2 to the negative side this morning at 9.34. We'll take a look at some of the fang stocks. We got Google shares up 1.5%. Now, as I mentioned, you jump over. They're out with their numbers after the bell tonight. We got $117 move priced into their options. You take a look at this equity, you put it back on the daily. Quite the pop from a 2,400 handle, 2,492 to be exact. Just like that, you're up 250 bucks. You're up 10% from where we were trading on January 24th. We'll see where Google goes after the bell. But $117 move priced in, you're already $35 higher on Google shares to kick things off. We jump over to AMD. Quite the pullback for AMD recently. You've bounced off the $100 price point. You got just recently a couple days ago, right? Yeah, January 28th, you're trading at 114. Pretty remarkable. You give it back that quickly. We jump over to the Analyze tab. AMD, pretty decent move. You're talking about a 6% to 7% move on AMD price stands, $7.58 as they will be out with their numbers after the bell as well. All right, continuing down the line. Pfizer and Biontech, they're gonna push their, yeah, they're going to file for permission for the COVID vaccine for children under the age of five for emergency use authorization. And that could come as quickly as the end of February. We jump over to those two stocks. Pfizer, up about half a percent with the market. No real huge reaction on there. BNTX, I think, is that Biontech? Yes it is, up 3.3% there on that news. All right, other articles we got pulled up. Let's see, yeah, let's talk a little bit. Well, first let's jump here. So Home Depot, they're gonna boost spring hiring 25% with kicker job offers. It looks like Home Depot. They gotta get some more workers in there to combat the dearth of the workers. The retailer has sped up the application process so it can make an offer within a day, 24 hours. I mean, this is what you gotta do if you wanna succeed, folk. The company declined to share how it's making quicker hiring decisions. The only thing I'll say is you tighten up that process and you leave a few loopholes in there. You might be hiring workers that you maybe did not hire or would not have hired previously when you put a little bit more time and effort into sorting out who you wanna bring into your company. But nonetheless, they need employees. They probably need them ASAP right now. And they're gonna do that as they're gonna try and boost the spring hiring by 25%. The chain aims to hire 100,000 associates for part-time and full-time positions. That is 25% above the 80,000 they usually look for. Revenue has surged, of course, Home Depot. During the pandemic, you pull up Home Depot. Quite a pullback though. I mean, I had a Fibonacci number on here folks and yeah, we almost made it back to the full 100%. We actually broke below the 786 on that move on January 24th. We're right back to almost the 50%. Now 372, you can see we chopped around at 372 from basically the end of October through the middle of November, just accelerated right through that area as the market sold off. And you're back to about 369 right now up about $2.50. Stay tuned folks. We'll be right back in three minutes.

Tech stocks giving it up a little bit as well. Look at that sell off. You just sold off 130 points, 14,950. You give up basically all of the gains from overnight and you're right back to where we were at about 9 p.m. Eastern time yesterday. You're talking about lows at last night. Let's get the exact tick low on the NASDAQ 100 futures 14,818. We just traded right now down to 14,815. So just below that number on the NASDAQ 100. All right, jumping over to rents. We're all aware of this, but man, when you see these numbers over and over, it's pretty remarkable. Rate inflation, excuse me, rent inflation shows that landlords have the upper hand again. I mean, yeah, I guess so. Not a pretty startling article headline. The Federal Reserve's rate hikes could add upward pressure on residential leases. Well, that makes sense because if you got higher yields, you got higher rates, what's gonna happen? Buying the same property is gonna yield a higher payment. Therefore, if you're talking about, you buy a $300,000 property, maybe you're paying 2,500 bucks a month, okay? So you have to rent it out at 2,500 bucks a month. Well, if you buy a $300,000 property and rates go up to 5% and you gotta pay 2,700 bucks a month, guess how much you're gonna be charging for rent, folks? You're gonna be trying at least to charge 2,700 bucks a month. It makes sense. Some of the numbers in here, when you get into it, wage and rate inflation, okay? Wage is not keeping up with rent. Tough to keep up with rent when you got it rising at the rate that you're talking about here. Average hourly earnings, they are above it. Okay, when you look at it, you're talking about 6%, but I don't know, folks, you look at where you are, it matters, okay? They're not keeping up in Tampa. That's for sure. They might be keeping up in the big cities like Boston and New York, which is skewing this number a bit. Average hourly earnings, you're talking about up about 6%, rate numbers up about 4%, but boy, you get into where we're talking about. Let me slide down here. Look at these numbers. Rent of shelter inflation in large metropolitan statistical areas. This is the CPI component as of the December of last year. Year over year change, Tampa, 9.6%. Phoenix, double digits, 10.1%. I mean, these are huge metropolitan areas, folks. These are not one-off small areas. Atlanta, Detroit, Denver, Dallas, San Diego, Philadelphia, Miami, St. Louis, Minneapolis, right? All of those pushing 4%. Yeah, and then you get down to the biggest cities, Boston, 2.9%. San Francisco, the lowest on this list at 0.6%, New York at 1.2%, and DC at 1.8%. Startling numbers in a big way, though, when you look at those numbers, and we'll see where they go, but it is not stopping, folks. Postal service change of address records suggests people over the past two years have been fleeing cities with the highest cost of living for relatively more affordable ones, which helps explain why the latter have already seen rent surge. Not surprising there, folks. That is just human nature that you're gonna be going to an area that potentially is a slightly lower cost of living in a big way. And quality life in Florida, folks, you can't beat it. It was 70 degrees out yesterday. After almost pushing 29 degrees overnight two days ago, we get some cold weather overnight right now. We're in one of the coldest parts of the year for us. February 1st, still almost 70 degrees in the middle of the day coming with that, but boy, you get some big rents rising in a big way in this area, 9.6%. And I'll tell you, folks, I have it. I have a duplex in Tampa. And as they say, the rent is going up, folks, because that's the market. That's how it works. It's just like that's the deal. People are coming to Florida. They're coming to Tampa. They're coming to beautiful St. Petersburg. And yeah, the market is reflecting it so, and that is not gonna decrease anytime soon, I imagine, folks. I'm not sure it can sustain 10%, just in terms of people being able to afford living, but boy, you're seeing it in a big way. All right, we jump to a little bit of entertaining news. How about this one, talking about weather, okay? Talking about weather. How about a lightning bolt stretching almost 500 miles across three states? This is talking about happened in April of 2020. All right, so we're going back almost two years ago now, but just remarkable. And they said this got nothing to do with climate change, okay? It has to do with someone that they got better tracking technology probably now than they had previously to catch all these. But you're talking about a lightning bolt that stretches 500 miles across three states. Look at that thing, remarkable. So this is a satellite image showing a thunderstorm complex, which was found to contain the longest single flash that covered a horizontal distance on record across parts of the Southern United States that is April 29th, 2020, 477.2 miles to be exact. Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi in April of 2020. Previous number was 440 miles sent in, excuse me, in 2018, also in 2020, a single lightning flash over Uruguay and Northern Argentina lasted 17 seconds. The previous record was 16.7 seconds. Normally lightning doesn't last more than a few seconds. It goes about 10 miles. This lightning bolt, they said, yeah, cloud to cloud. So several thousand feet above the ground, so it did not reach the ground. Nobody was in danger. These records not linked to climate change spotted and confirmed thanks to new satellite tracking technology. Both regions, when they're talking about the Uruguay region up here, yeah, Uruguay and Northern Argentina, or you're talking about the area over Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, both regions are two of the few places in the world prone to the type of intense storms that can produce so-called mega flashes. Pretty remarkable though. Did not realize lightning could stretch that far. Mother nature, nothing like it folks, nothing like it at all. All right, let's jump around as we get this market turning negative. You just have the NASDAQ 100 trade down 150 points. Let's check out some of the fang stocks and see how they're trading. We kick it off with Apple. Apple shares this morning, giving it back down 1.1%. We got Google shares this morning ahead of their numbers holding onto the gains. Looks like they're not willing to sell off Google yet ahead of their numbers like they are Apple. Google up half a percent right now. Tesla, after yesterday's rise, giving back some of those gains down about 2%. Microsoft down about 1.3% with the tech stocks trading lower as well. We jump over to some of the streaming stocks. Netflix quite a day yesterday, the upside looked to open higher but they give it back on the open to be flat for Netflix shares. Disney had quite an acceleration yesterday as well, holding onto some of those gains up about a 10th of a percent. Quite the resurgence in terms of even, I was talking about yesterday in my newsletter and on the program. And you're gonna be seeing a different world folks when we come out of Omicron. I mean, you saw Uber accelerate higher yesterday as well. These are two stocks we have in my newsletter, Rocket Equities and Options. Uber up another 1% today, just getting over about a COVID myself, my family. And if you didn't catch the program yesterday, folks that's talking about, we've had the vaccines for a while. Many people have been able to make decisions for themselves where if you're not around kids that are unvaccinated and you're just around yourself and maybe you're vaccinated and you're comfortable. I mean, you could pretty much get back to life is my opinion. As having two kids under the age of five in my household did not have the option to get vaccinated yet. We were trying to give them the opportunity to get vaccinated before their eventual, probably eventual exposure to COVID and probably Omicron. Didn't quite make it unfortunately, but point being now that we've got the natural immunity Omicron with vaccines for the adults, it is gonna be a game changer. I mean, I talked about maybe now we're finally comfortable being around larger groups of people with unvaccinated children. And so maybe this is a game changer for travel, for people in large groups. I mean, if you watch the NFL playoffs weekend folks and you saw Kansas City or LA didn't look like a pandemic man. Those were packed houses, rightfully so. So keep that in mind, these travel stocks, we'll see, we'll take a little bit of a look at some of these travel stocks when we get back. Airbnb, they were accelerating higher folks. I wasn't the only one yesterday. You had these travel stocks straight and higher and they're continuing today. Pay attention to that one. We got a rotation going on. We'll be right back.

We have the S&Ps right now back above $4,500. A little bit of two-way action to kick things off. You're negative by two points on the session. Dow back positive by $31. We got tech stocks back above $14,800, retreating at $14,840, negative by 70 points on the session. And sad news in the world of football as Tom Brady makes it official and he is retiring. Folks, Tom Brady officially announces his retirement, had read and reported last weekend. And yeah, nonetheless, it is confirmed now. As we know, a remarkable career. Can't believe it, 44 years old. This guy is still playing. I'm 41 years old right now. So I turn 42 next month. Cannot imagine playing a 17 game NFL season two years from right now, three years from right now. I'd have to go on that body. And we all know his accolades in terms of maybe the greatest out there, I would say so, many do. But really remarkable when you look at that of course he jumps to Tampa and wins a championship there last year. Great season this season to outstanding final game for them as well. But he goes out as the passing leader and touchdown. He had more passing yards and more touchdowns than any other QB at the age of 44 this year. Yeah, he did not win an NFL championship. That would have been the exclamation point going out on top for sure. But man, talk about going on top. Can't imagine 44 years old. Most passing yards and most touchdowns all season. He's in the running for NFL MVP. Aaron Rogers seems to be the fan favorite to win that. But you can't argue with 44 years old passing yard leader and touchdown leader. Sad to see him go, but quite a career for Mr. Brady. All right, back to the markets. Let's take one more final look at Google as we await their earnings after the bell tonight up about half a percent. We had AMD out with their numbers I believe as well. Yes we do.
