 The following is a presentation of TFNN. The morning market kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good Friday morning everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN just after 9 a.m. Eastern time. Appreciate you starting your trading day off with me. We pick things up in positive territory. Interesting, when I opened my eyes for the first time in a while this morning, found myself checking the futures saying, found that there was actually reason that you could see some downside for the first time yesterday. You saw the action. We had Tesla and Netflix earnings coming into the day, pulling back, right? Market really making them pay for some decent earnings as in all expectations to the upside. You see the sell-off in terms of Netflix going down to 430 yesterday. Tesla was a pre-market. You were at 495 even if you take 482 where you were coming into the close of Wednesday. Okay, you're talking about basically $50 to the downside. Today we're flat, but Tesla, similar action, a one-way trip from 300 to basically 260. At the end of the day yesterday, I found myself saying, market sold off, right? You're gonna see an acceleration. Are we gonna see for the first time, maybe a potential pullback? Was there reason for the first time? I mean, Wednesday we were pushing 4610, folks. There was no reason for this market to see any pressure to the downside. First time that popped up was after the close of Wednesday when we saw Netflix, Tesla, et cetera. IBM, the flip side of that, trade's dramatically higher yesterday from 134 to 140. Nonetheless, we go back to markets and they defy the action. I say, look at this market, man. You can't hold this market down. NASDAQ 100, even on a day that we're coming into a rebalancing, the stocks have been carrying this index higher. We'll get into that to kick off the program, man. It's an interesting day, folks. Not often do you have an index like the NASDAQ 100 that has been carrying this market, okay? It's been carrying the S&P, too. And when you think about it, we're taking away demand from the stocks that have carried this market to a certain degree at least. And we'll go over that. Nonetheless, the NASDAQ 100, you're up 710th percent. We've clawed back about 150 points off of the low. We're right back to where we were at about 1030 in the morning yesterday, 15,710. Still about 350 points below where we were trading on Wednesday, right? That's a 2% hit, man. That is a 2% hit in this index. Yes, we are up. Bonkers numbers to put things lightly for the year, okay? But that's a 2% pullback in the span of what? Two trading days and we got Friday coming. We got options expiration. We got the rebalancing going on as well. We jump over to some of the commodities. Currencies, we'll take a look at the dollar index. As I mentioned in the nine o'clock update, dollar index right at about 101. We're under that price level now. You're seeing the dollar index up 10 ticks right now at 198. You jump over to the 10 year. So we have a little bit, pretty muted action across the board, right? Be interesting to see how it comes in. We got American Express out with their numbers this morning. We'll get into those as well. They're trading lower though from 179 to 172. You jump over to Visa. No real huge reaction on those numbers for American Express just yet. We're trading at about 240. But let's just get into the rebalancing because we got options expiration but we got a rebalancing, man. Amazon's up a little bit as you're getting a bounce on these equities. You got to talk about Apple and Microsoft, okay? Apple up almost a dollar. You see the pullback yesterday that we had. You jump over to Microsoft shares, pretty similar action. We're trading right now up about $3. Some of the stocks that we're gonna talk about there, you jump over to Google, Google up a buck 50, clawing back some of the losses of yesterday as well. You jump over to Metta shares, Metta up about $3 almost to 305 this morning. And we jump over to Broadcom, all right? And we're gonna take a look at Broadcom as well. Little bit of a different action. Broadcom, what are they up right now? What, $10 in the pre-market? You're trading at about $8.99 with an ask by a bid of about $8.97. And I bring up Broadcom because they're one of the ones that are actually gonna benefit. So let's get into it, okay? Here's how it works. What to know about Monday's Nasdaq 100 rebalance, okay? This is as of Monday. So those ETF trackers have to be tracking as of Monday. The rebalance, which takes effect before Monday's opening bell. That means they gotta have their chips in line at the end of the day today. What is so interesting about this is that you can't go in too early, right? Because then you're not gonna be mimicking the index that you're supposed to be mimicking. So what you wanna get is you wanna get the closing price. You add on to an options expiration. We're gonna see some volatility, man. And we're gonna get into the numbers. So here's how it works. The rebalance, okay, was triggered when the companies in the index with weightings exceeding 4.5% saw their collective weighting surpass 48%, okay? So to say that again, it's having the biggest companies that are above 4.5% of the weighting if you combine the biggest companies, okay? So it's okay if you have one company at 10% or 12%. As long as all the companies at 10 and 12 don't equal half of the index basically, right? Those companies with weightings above 4.5% surpassed 48% of the index and that is a problem with regulations, okay? So what they're gonna do is they're gonna rebalance the cap with an aggregate weighting at 40%. So the equities that exceed 4.5% are not gonna represent more than 40% of the NASDAQ 100 index, okay? Now, getting into the exact numbers. Here are the exact numbers of the previous weighting and where they're gonna come into on July 24th, okay? You take a look at this and you're gonna see some losers like Apple. They're gonna go from 12.1%, that's where it was on July 14th of the weighting of the index. They're gonna be at 11.5. They're gonna lose about 6.10% of weighting, okay? When you look at the flow impact, that is the decline of $1.4 billion of flow, $1.4 billion of basically cells coming into that market. How about Microsoft, man, right? 12.8 to 9.8, how does that one happen? If anybody knows, give us a call 877-927-6648. This is gonna be a topic today, man. And interesting how you got Apple coming in at 11.5, Microsoft's gonna come in at 9.8. You go down the line, okay? Google going from 7.6 to 5.7, that's 4.8 billion in outflows. Microsoft is 7.4 billion in outflows. Amazon takes a hit from 6.9% to 5.3, that's a $4.1 billion outflow estimate. Meta, and this is where it gets interesting, right? Even if you're at 4.5% right now, they even need to bring you down, because if you're at 4.5% right now and they bring down the weighting of the bigger stocks, your weighting will actually rise in the index potentially. So they have to bring on those equities as well. So Meta goes from 4.4 to 3.7. You got Tesla going from 4.5 to 3.4 weighting in the index. And then what happens? Then there's your sweet spot, where you actually increase, where the members who are at, because everybody below the, everybody besides, to put it this way, Tesla, Meta, NVIDIA, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Apple, the Magnificent Seven, okay? I mean, talk about changing the rules, right? They're literally the Magnificent Seven, and what does the NASDAQ do? And listen, it's for regulation, okay? There's no conspiracy, but every other stock besides those seven is gonna benefit here with a greater weighting. Broadcom, the biggest of them all, going from 2.4 to 3% weighting, that's 1.6 billion in inflows. You see it down the list, man. We'll talk about this a little bit more, even a company like Pepsi. In the NASDAQ 100, going from 1.7% to 2.1%. So it's gonna be an interesting Friday, man. All of that in flux this morning, and we have markets in positive territory coming into that rebalancing. What's the index gonna be like when the biggest players out there, making the biggest runs in the market, don't have the weighting they once did? We'll find out. Stay tuned, folks. We got a lot to talk about on Friday. We'll be back in three minutes. Don't go away.

Back folks, we get markets right where we picked up the program, picked up the program, excuse me. Had a little bit of a sneezing allergy fit during the break there. S&P's up 22, folks, Nasdaq 100. You're up by 7-tenths percent. Get back to that article one more time. I mean, you look at the queues alone, okay? The queues got $200 billion in net assets alone. Excuse me, let alone the impact that we'll have on other funds down the line. If you take a look at the impact, okay, for some context, context is so important in life, folks. Many conversations, I feel like they lack the context necessary whether you're talking about finance, you're talking about inflation, you're talking about politics, man, that's the worst of all, where everybody just lacks context and you can say anything. Context, okay? The general change in the index is largely exaggerated, is one opinion. But here's the deal. Had a previous weighting of 12.06%, okay? You get a 10% move in Apple, that would hit the index at about 1.21% to the upside, okay? With the new weighting, that same 10% move in Apple is going to move the index 1.15%. So you're talking about Apple alone moving 10% in the index will only impact the index with a difference of 0.06%, okay? Important to put things in context. They're still going to be running the show here. When you talk about these equities now combining to reach 40% of the index, and all you got to do is go down a couple more to get to where you're at that threshold, right? If each of the magnificent seven, okay, move 10%, the total change in the NASDAQ at the new rebalance weight will be 4.37% versus 5.55%. So that's if you get all seven stocks moving 10% to the upside, their influence in the NASDAQ 100 will be 4.37% to the upside versus 5.55%. So what is that? That's a 1.18% hit if they all move 10%. So it will matter, but there's still going to be mammoths in there, you know? They're still going to be pushing around everybody, and all you got to do is go down the line a bit to these next biggest companies, okay, when I'm talking about Broadcom, I mean, put them on your radar, man, because if you're trading the NASDAQ 100, right, look at what Broadcom just did. Look at what Pepsi just did, 1.65% to 2.1% influence. Costco gets 1.58% to 2%. Adobe, Cisco, Netflix gets a nice jump up there, okay? Comcast, T-Mobile, down the list we go. What do we tell? Some of these boosts are dramatic, even Starbucks. You get a basically 25% boost as in you go from 0.8% to 1% holding, AMAD as well. So all of that happens as of the close, man. It's going to be interesting to see how that plays out today, and we get to see it play out in real time. Nonetheless, the market's picking up. Maybe some of that rebalancing got done yesterday, and maybe they're going to use options today to mimic the returns on the ETF to some degree, because there was quite a sell-off. There was quite a divergence. I'm sure we all saw it. If you were paying attention, man, the NASDAQ 100 at one point traded down about 350 points from open to close, right? Mostly selling. Not many areas of buying all day. From $15,000 to $15,550, you take a look at the S&Ps. A little bit of a different story. As in, yeah, you traded down 33 points, okay? But all of it had to do with some of the actions of the biggest players out there, like Microsoft, which dropped $12 from where it was at the beginning of the day, right? What did I just talk about? Microsoft had one of the biggest cuts in waiting out there. You talk about Apple. They took a hit as well. Apple traded down $3 and changed. Nonetheless, so we'll see a play out today. It's going to be a wild one, man. Stay tuned. All right, what else we got going on here? We got a lot pulled up. Let's talk some tech. Sergey Brin, he's back in the mix. In general, back in the trenches at Google, working alongside AI researchers at the tech giant's headquarters, aiding efforts to build powerful, Gemini system. These founders, man, they know the race is on, right? You are first to market with AI and you change the world. It's going to be really hard to catch up, especially when you think about, right? Do this. I mean, the race is on in terms of, if you're first to market, you're going to make all the money first, which is going to let you put money into development, which is going to let you make more money down the line, etc. So not surprising. You're seeing this type of attention as you got the founders back in there working with the long-awaited AI model, Gemini. And that's happening everywhere. I'm sure, man. You don't think Amazon, you don't think Bezos is out there making sure that Jazzy is making sure that they're going to be around when you talk about AI. We jumped to meta, speaking of Magnificent 7. Thread's user engagement continues to drop, adding urgency for new features. Data shows user engagement has fallen 70% as executives focus on options such as a chronological feed. Listen, this thing is in its infancy. You're going to see this play out over years. Okay. And yes, everybody downloaded their account in terms of getting a Thread's account. If you haven't, folks, why not get over there? If you plan on using anything, get over there and grab your name. If you're even interested, if you have a Instagram account, I encourage you to sign up for it anyway if you have an Instagram account. Facebook's already got your info in that situation anyway. And it's in some version, basically free digital real estate and nothing's free. Okay. Don't be confused. They own it. But go out there and grab your name because Thread's is going to be around, man. They're not going anywhere. Okay. And Zuckerberg knows that this is a platform that he can compete on. There's your daily active users, right? They launched. The thing goes bonkers to 44 million. You're back to 13 or 14 million. The other way to put that, folks, is that they just launched and they got daily active users of tens of millions of people on their Thread's app, right? 100 million sign-ups in a week. Now they have to work on engagement, but that can happen, especially when you control Facebook, especially when you control Instagram, you control WhatsApp, and they have the power to do it. But nonetheless, not too surprising. You're seeing those numbers dip a bit. Look, it just keeps going, man. It's all Magnificent 7, right? The FTC withdraws the case against the Microsoft Activision Deal. The companies already agreed to extend the merger deadline. It looks like it just keeps getting better and better, as in regulators opening up to the idea of that deal getting done. We saw that come through. When was it? Got it. There's so many jumps on these charts, man, on a weekly basis. Let's put it on a daily. Yeah, I almost can't see, I think. No, that wasn't. That was the pricing. I'm going to calibrate my brain to where this thing spiked on the Activision Deal news. Nonetheless, no, no, that's right. It's the Activision stock that chopped. There it was. July 11th. So this thing pushing 92 from 82. We're going to open it. 92 bucks as that deal is baked in to getting done. Microsoft shares. Yeah, that pullback was that they're going to be pricing their AI co-pilot at an expensive price. And it makes sense, man, because they have basically figured out that people are going to be willing to pay because productivity is about to go through the roof, man, for the people that are still in the jobs that they're in and using AI. Yeah, productivity is going to go through the roof and we're going to see how it plays out in terms of for the NASDAQ 100 as well. All I can say is, boy, we've got a lot of optimism built into these markets, man, levels that we have not seen in a while. And it's especially interesting, right? What happened? I mean, I talked about it in my program yesterday, Microsoft folks, Microsoft has added a trillion dollars in market cap from where we were at the beginning of the year. Microsoft, not Apple, Microsoft. Apple has done it as well, okay? They've been one-way trips for the better part of seven months and you're talking about companies with 16 billion shares outstanding, adding $75 to their share price. Remarkable, accelerations, optimism, pushing all-time highs right now. And we're coming into earnings season and we're coming into a re-balancing right at those highs. Stay tuned, folks. We're coming back for the opening bell. Building wealth trading in the stock market seems impossible to most people. They think it's too volatile and risky.

A little bit of a sell-off near that opening bell. Markets still green across the board with the S&Ps up by 14 right now. NASDAQ 100 up by 83. Got the Dow up by 63 in the Russell, up by 10 right now. We jump over to the Dollar Index as we kick off the trading day back above 100. 101.01 for the Dollar Index. We take a look at yields right now. Up above five basis, five ticks, 112.09 on the tenure right now. We jump over to the VIX, sitting comfortably at about 13.76. We see how some of those big dogs are doing. Clon back some of the losses of yesterday as Apple's up 6.10% right now. We jump over to Microsoft shares, up 3.10% right now. Google shares up 8.10% right now. Tesla up 1.3% right now. Yeah, green across the board for the Magnificent 7 and even companies like Adobe catching a lift up 1.2%, right? Interesting. Costco up 3.25%. Some of these equities, the ones that are getting added waiting into the Nasdaq 100. Yeah, and you don't have to look hard, man. Look at these companies, right? Yesterday Pepsi from 187 to 190, right? Costco, the rebalancing started right at the open from 554 to 560. And then maybe they just get it done with options today to mimic the impact of the ETFs that they're talking about because you see those, you see the run that they've had leading up to that, even a company like Starbucks, right? Actually saw higher prices before the sell-off later in the day. And just like that, those Starbucks up 1.6% so far this morning. We jumped to Netflix too, Netflix. Following their week numbers on Wednesday, their week outlook for revenue, 434 down 8.10%. We were trading almost $50 higher when we were coming into those numbers on Wednesday. Now, this is a case of optimism, man. Okay, those were decent numbers. I talked about it yesterday. They added 6 million subscribers, man. Not that long ago when we were in some of these quarters. I think this was the quarter, right? Back it up just over a year ago. Everyone was talking about the Netflix. It was done growing, man. The growth was over. Not sure. Maybe it was the January quarter of 2022, but I think it was later in the year that you're talking about April. The writing became on the wall that the market was saying, hey, they may have reached peak saturation in terms of everybody in the market. They grew 6 million subscribers, man. They got password crackdowns going on, and that's gonna have some lag. Okay, there's a lot of people out there that probably are still using it to some capacity, haven't lost coverage yet, haven't lost the ability to use everybody else's account that they've been mooching off, and nonetheless, we're trading at 4.36 right now from 1.62 for Netflix. Now, I bring up Netflix because we got the registry going on, and they are well positioned right now, Netflix. They have more run room, okay? Then basically one way as they put it here, then the legacy networks. And this one's gonna start playing out, man. We're coming into, you're supposed to usually have production going on in the summer, and then you got fall TV getting hit, okay? Biggest strike in 60 years, and there is so much at stake here. My friends and I were talking about this yesterday. One of my good friends has a brother who lives in LA and is in the business, and what's so interesting here is that you look at something like owning the name, image, and likeness of like a background actor, right? And then you look at where AI is going. So what you first have is, think about it this way, what AI is gonna do, okay, is that AI is going to be able to take images of certain people, right? And probably use that image to create an actor of its own in the background or something, right? So in that case, let's say you have Joe Sullivan, right? Joe Sullivan's a background actor in some television show or movie that gets produced. Joe Sullivan's name, image, and likeness is recorded on camera. The AI system then uses the image of Joe Sullivan to create another image, okay, of another background actor. Maybe it's similar. Maybe it's based off him, okay, and that background actor or whatever it is, right? AI is gonna get better and better. So in that instance, you could see how Joe Sullivan would have some claim to the fact that his name, his image, the recording of him is being used for future production with no benefit to him. Now, here's where it gets a little bit more interesting, okay? As AI gets better and better, right, what is it gonna do? First, it's gonna have to base its images off of certain people, okay? And it's gonna use those memories, those data points to create AI-generated actors, okay? But as generations go, it's then going to what? It's going to start using itself and just create basically its own image that is not based off any one individual background actor. But at that time, the AI system may have learned enough, okay, well, probably will have learned enough to basically use its entirety of knowledge that it's gained over so many data points to create its own AI-generated background actor that basically is based off no individual person. But here's the toughest part of this, right? Once AI gets to that point in time, will you be able to say that that name, image, and likeness of the characters being created is based off of nobody? Or will you be able to say that that actor that is created by AI is actually, okay, a creation using the rights to the images of 200 different actors, right? As in, is everybody do some compensation that the AI system is using to generate those new actors down the line? Or is nobody do compensation because AI has gotten so smart that it's no longer using a specific image of one specific person to generate an AI-generated actor? This is why those name, image, and likeness battles that are going on are so important to the studios and the actors right now because some of the deals that are going to get done, if you give AI the benefit to use those images going forward with no payments whatsoever, the cat may be out of the bag. They may have enough information. The AI systems may be able to use that information right now to create background actors forever. I mean, I know I'm going a little bit forward-gapping, but those are the biggest battles going on here right now. And you get into some of the numbers. This is just talking about shows in terms of where they show up. You have some companies that are going to have a few shows that are already produced. They're going to be ready. They're going to be in the fall. Something that's happening, though, is that they're not sure they're going to push out all these programs even if they are fully ready. Some of them are going to come out for sure. But some of them may not come out. Some of the movies may not come out. If the actors involved in them are going to participate in the promotion, so that's going to be a pushback as well. You have advertisers. They made spending commitments this spring thinking that shows like Young Sheldon, Law & Order SVU, Abbott Elementary. Not familiar with that one. Definitely familiar with Law & Order SVU. Seems like that show has been on TV for about 30 years. Would be in production in summer, so they'd have a fall season, no fall season for them. It's going to be a lot of reruns coming down the line. In the premium cable and streaming world, you're going to have some programs. HBO is set through the middle of next year. They're going to have True Detective. They're going to have House of Dragon out there as well. But after that, you're going to be in some problems. The work stoppage through the year's end could push the next installments of high-profile shows like Euphoria and The White Lotus into 2025. You're talking about probably a couple years for some of those programs. We'll finish this conversation up. They may play hardball, man, and it may be in their interest to play hardball, those writers and those actors, because you give those studios everything. You give them all those images. AI's not going to be far away, man. Stay tuned. It'll be right back, folks. You might think that if you want to be successful at trading in the stock market, you're going to need a crystal ball. After all, it's impossible to predict the future, right? Like any endeavor in life, before you decide it's impossible, get some advice from the experts. That it's not so impossible after all.

Distributor, foresight fund services, LLC. This program is brought to you by Vista Gold traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Folks, we got S&Ps up about 14 right now. NASDAQ up about 84. Holding on to pretty much those gains as we kicked off the trading day. Russell pulls back a bit though. Up only five right now. We jump over to the next slide, suggesting their numbers off 4.4% for American Express $169.43 so far this morning. We check out some of those magnificent seven. We kick it off with Apple. Clawing back some of the losses of yesterday. Apple up 6.10% Microsoft up 6.10% as well. Google up 6.10% we got it across the board right now. Meta shares up 2.10% Tesla down a bit off 1.10% NVIDIA shares slightly in the red as well. And Adobe the biggest gainer out there for the rebalancing. They're catching a bid up 1.8% Pepsi as well up 7.10% right interesting to see that divergence happening. But we got markets in green across the board. You have the companies at the top losing weighting that are in positive territory and you get the companies gaining weighting in positive territory. Interesting to to say the least as we come into that rebalancing kicking off trading on Monday. Alright jumping back to the next slide. So we have a couple of things to keep in mind right you're going to see these companies spend less because they can't produce because they have no writers or actors. So you're going to see their costs come down. But guess what they're going to go back up when they come back into the workforce. So you're going to see some free cash flow. Alright Netflix said on Wednesday didn't help them that yeah they're going to have stronger than expected free cash flow because their content spending is going to be lower this year as a result because that money is there it's it's planned to be spent on production and you're going to see that money spent in an accelerated fashion when people come back to the workforce and start producing again. Now getting into some of the numbers they're talking about here. What really they're talking about okay is the money that you're able to keep okay when you go forward and that you talk about where it used to be and they talk about in here right syndication a hundred episodes right five seasons worth of an episode and boom you could sell that off for syndication you had actors that had back ends making money in here there's one instance here let's see they have an actor Nelson Franklin he was in 40 episodes of Blackish a show that went into syndication he said a good year in traditional TV he could be in eight episodes make seven thousand bucks a piece plus residuals while in streaming he makes eight thousand bucks a year for the same work because you're not getting paid for those same residuals because it lives on the streaming forever and that's where they're really battling here on top of AI the whole business plan has changed just cherry picking a few different facts it's an interesting one man they have a lot to argue over oh and this one Netflix isn't the only one with the deep library Warner's Max HBO Max or Max Now has fresh content to get through the middle of next year but some big projects stalled before they really got off the ground including Harry Potter so yeah going to be especially interesting to see where that one ends man because boy they are miles apart from what it seems and everything is at stake going forward look at this market pull back a little bit doubt back in negative territory we just sold off almost a hundred points from the open three eighty right now Nasdaq holding onto the gains up seven tenths percent look at that nasdaq one hundredth the leader today man looks like they took their pain yesterday and got it over with S&Ps up by eleven that's a quarter percent right now and let's see what else we got pulled up here yeah let's talk a little bit of heat man if you're out there please stay safe okay this is not a joke these the the heat that we're dealing with right now especially if you're doing any type of strenuous activities outside stay hydrated and like we had our man Larry Pezzavento he did his program early this morning because they got rolling blackouts going on Arizona man they got like three hours on four hours off was talking to Larry yesterday he he's doing good he's all right he says not getting above really seventy eight in his home which is good because that's scary stuff man that seems like that's that's dangerous to people's health even with a rolling blackout of three to four hours man four hours with no AC folks and heat as somebody coming from Florida okay that is a long time that can really heat things up to an uncomfortable basis on a constant basis etc now this article from the journal this today when is it too hot to keep working in most states companies decide you know I'm not going to jump on my soapbox for long folks but we are in a different world right now okay you got Arizona you got temperatures what like three straight weeks above a hundred and ten degrees it would be in everybody's best interest to put some regulations in place when it comes to heat to that degree of workers rights otherwise private business okay is not going to be able to protect their workers on this level of heat that's the truth of it man and you can always remember earlier in the program I was talking about context and how it's so important and how it's so easy to lack context when you're having arguments well anybody from what I just said can say in the background back to me but regulations hurt job creation and we want the economy to be strong so we got to be careful with regulations that we put on companies okay just realize when you say that folks have a little common sense sometimes include a little bit of context realize that Arizona is dealing with heat that is three weeks straight at a hundred and ten degrees Florida okay even Florida man we know the heats in accelerating last night I'll give you an example I was outside about seven thirty last night man it's hot still and it is humid in Florida folks okay they got the dry heat in Arizona at one seventeen we get up to like ninety ninety two ninety five the sweat the humidity pretty intense last night it was eighty eight degrees at about seven thirty and felt like ninety eight degrees felt like ninety eight degrees alright and it did that's real man it feels like that hot when you're sweating that much and that's like right there's no sun set folks okay there should be some standard regulations that are going to be put in place because we are a new norm on these levels you know the bummer event I'm not sure if you saw you had Texas out there recently yeah a bill signed last month by the governor okay it bans local ordinances in the city such as Dallas and Austin that mandate rests in water breaks when the temperature rises the law set to take effect in September prevents cities and counties from creating local ordinances that go further and what is allowed under state law now listen you always got the battle going on between whether it's the federal governments in the states right between the states and the localities who gets to say what it's all a big power trip okay this deal in Texas though folks this deal required a ten minute break every four hours a ten minute break every four hours that is a joke okay that's not going to do anything and even that they're saying will hurt businesses okay moving Texas is backed by the construction industry which says such municipal rules are too onerous folks look it up it was ten minute break every four hours okay now this is real out here I tell you I went so I went for a little jog run yesterday now be careful out there folks okay I was sweating my butt off um but I'm used to it I try and get a little exercise throughout the day at some point 30 minutes 45 minutes get outside and I'll tell you when I go work out we're going to finish this the amount of water weight that you can lose in a workout is tremendous most people wouldn't even realize it man I can lose four to five pounds over an hour and it's all water four to five pounds now think about it that's a 16 ounce bottle of water is one pound that is five bottles of water that your body can lose in one hour one hour five water and we're going to show you man how quickly that can escalate to some pretty scary stuff when you're dealing with these types of temperatures we'll finish up with the market as well folks we'll take a look stay tuned one more segment we'll be right back $1 for the year there's no cash or

giving it up a bit right now meta shares in the red you get the Nasdaq 100 barely in the positive by 43 right now down in the red Russell in the red S&Ps holding on to gains but just by four points we've sold off about 20 from right near the open from 4590 to 4570 right now in the S&Ps so getting back to that heat man yeah so be aware folks you're not we can often see sometimes especially in Florida I mean the humidity you're sweating so much it doesn't take a tremendous amount of exercise to start sweating a lot you take a water a walk in the sun folks and I just know because I've weighed myself you're losing four to five pounds an hour so imagine if you're out there for three or four hours right of course that's diminishing returns you can't lose that amount of water that drastically the whole time because you're running out of it but it doesn't take much man to get to levels looking at this now this is based off 150 pound person but yeah I just mentioned these are 17 ounce bottles they're basically one per pound you're going to lose about four or five per an hour two hours over that time you're right up to near that level man you do two or three hours out there you're sweating off that type of water you better be careful you're going to see heart rate body temperature swollen tongue difficult to talk because you probably got dry mouth and then you start getting a little woozy on top of it pay attention folks okay get some air conditioning get some water in you by the time you realize that you're dehydrated it's already too late you're behind the eight ball and it's very difficult to catch up if you're familiar with athletes sometimes you hear them talk about right especially on something like endurance athletes if you're running a marathon if you're running an ultra marathon if you're doing an Ironman they talk about if you get to the point that you're dehydrated you're done you can't catch up man you can't catch up you got to stay ahead of it drink some water stay safe out there and how about some regulations man okay you see some of these quotes that I read in here talking about the business groups it's got to happen folks okay you're talking about hundreds of people if not thousands of people dying it's only going to get worse if we had Bureau of Labor statistics listed 436 people over 10 years that's all happening in the summer too okay that'd be like people dropping out of buildings once a week and just being like ah it's hot anyway thanks for tuning in folks we're going to have an interesting day in the markets stay tuned Basil Chapman's up next have a great weekend everybody we'll see you Monday
