NASDAQ up 42. S&P's flat. Gold contract up $9.30. Traded $17.93 an ounce. We got Silver up 11 cents. $20.00, 6 cents an ounce. Light sweet crude up 48 cents. $84.00 notes and bonds. The 10-year down three ticks. Traded $130.19, the 30-year off 18 at 160.09. Kingdoll's up 222 ticks. Traded 93.900. Euro is 116. Yen is at 114. The British pound's at 136 to one US dollar. Our phone number's 877-927-6648. Give us a call, folks. I know it's going on in your world. In the world of the S&P's, let's take a look at it. What do you have? Well, you get a sideways market out here, folks. And I expect you're going to see a sideways market right up until Wednesday. So the Fed starts meeting tomorrow. We'll have a statement at 2 o'clock Wednesday with a news conference at 2.30 Wednesday. The spy out here bought mine closed at all-time highs on Friday. Well, you're flat. The spy's trading down two cents right now. NDX 100, same type of setup inside the NDX. They all closed at all-time highs except the Dow. And the Dow basically has already hit an all-time high out here today. The NDX 100, the 3Qs, that also hit an all-time high. We are at 385 right now. And we closed at 38611 on Friday. And the Dow Industries, I believe, this finally hit another all-time high today. Yeah, it did, big time. Now, the Dow got all the way up to the 36,009 mark today and then decided to give it up. So it's going to get really interesting. And what you have here inside the Dow Industries, by the way, folks, is this. You have two separate, basically, bearish occurrences. You had the first one that was on the 26th. That's when it couldn't hold price. Then you come down volume. Bottom line, you get higher today and it's given up on price again. So that, if we go look at the diamonds, it will be a little bit clearer when you look at the diamonds because the volume will be underneath it. What you're going to be able to see is that on the 26th, you hit a high, $358.93. Oh, one second. Yeah, $358.93. You did that with $3.1 million. Then you come down with $3.5. Now we're making a new high with $2.1. And let's see, $358. Yeah, it looks like you're going to have a failure on price and volume. Inside of the, well, here, let's go to the gold contract first, gold. Gold contract out here is trading at a price point of $17.93. Gold came down hard and fast on Friday, big time. That being said, guess what? You didn't break a lower swing point. You don't break a lower swing point, folks. The bottom line is that it's not bearish. Volume came out of it, no doubt about that. But what was happening is that you're also going into $290,000. You're going to its strength. Man, we came down with $2.255, rather. Bottom line, that's still saying he wants higher price. The divergence that we have out here is pretty cool. And what the divergence was was this. As gold got smacked, silver didn't, which is just so unusual, man. It just normally just doesn't happen. I mean, silver came down, but no big deal. I mean, silver got down at a price point of $23.70, closed at $23.99, still wants higher price. And what you do have out here is that when I was doing the gold report over the weekend, the silver equities are actually stronger than the gold equities. So this is going to get pretty wild, watching how this thing is going to shake out. Now, let's go take a look at King Dollar, because King Dollar had an amazing day on Friday as gold went down. King Dollar was up over 1,000 ticks. Now, that being said, what has happened, let me show you a picture. What has happened is that King Dollar, so I was talking about swing points in general, and gold on the way down came down hard and fast, but yet couldn't take a swing point out. The dollar goes top side and couldn't take a swing up point out. It's like, OK, man, so that is not a bullish occurrence at this particular point. Right now, we're at $93.901, so we're still fighting about $93.729. And what I expect we're going to see is that we are going to see when the Fed comes out that that is when we're going to have monster movements. My take right now is that the dollar will go higher, that the dollar is going to go lower, the metals are going to go higher. Now, what's also happened out here is this. The market, and I've been trying to figure this out for a while, man, the bottom line, which is really so unusual, the market actually likes a stronger dollar. It doesn't like a weaker dollar. So this is going to be so weird, man, because each. I mean, that is just kind of the opposite of normally how it's been shaken out. But this baby has the dollar's been going up for a long time as has the market. And it seems like each and every time that the dollar does not catch a bid, what you have here is that the market goes south simultaneously, too. Platinum. Let's go take a look at the platinum market out here. The active contract right now, that's trading up $47. You're at 1,067, and this has strength behind it. This is what I wanted to tell you about the gold market. The XAU, the HUI, they all very well are setting up monster ABC structures on the way up. Notice this is nice platinum. Platinum is doing the same thing. So platinum's coming into a swing point with 18,000 contracts. You've done 16,000 so far. Hasn't hit the swing point yet, which is 1,080. I expect it will go after it. If it takes the swing point out with volume, you talk in. Let's see, what do we got here? 940, you get 140 A to B. So you're talking about 1,140 bucks. And right now, you're 10,67. If we go take a look at the XAU and the HUI, you're going to see that both of these also very well could be some nice ABC structures on the way up. And if they are, they're rarely large ones. We'll see how it shakes out, and we'll see when the Fed comes out, bottom line, are they still going to be dovish? And I suspect they're going to be. The thing is so weird, man. Inflation is raging, man. I mean, there's no doubt it's raging. And we'll see how they're going to try to back away from it, saying that it's still transitory.

Welcome back, folks, Dow. Dow Industries right now, up 47, we get the Nasdaq up 47. Oh, that's, Dow's up 47, Nasdaq's up 47. S&Ps are flat. Let's go to early in Tampa, Florida. Early, what's going on? How you doing today? I'm doing great, man, yourself? I'm doing wonderful. Great day, the weather's beautiful. It is, it is, man, I like it. Okay, so I'm struggling with some bonds, not bonds. The dollar, the dollar comes down, bonds do something, financials do something. I keep getting trapped. Okay. I'm trying to figure out what I'm missing if you could explain it. Oh, I'm trying to, so what pot do you want explained? I think we're, where the dollar has been fighting over this 93, 729 area for quite some time. And the, and what that is, when it gets below it, that's in the lower range and it wants the lower price. When it gets above it, it's like, okay, man, you want a higher price, you know, so. Yeah, so the yields to the bonds, how does that affect financial? Okay, so this is how this, I got it. I got, I got what your question is here. So the yields on the bonds, okay? Yeah, let's bring it up right now. So first thing I'm gonna bring up the 10-year for you, okay? And what has happened is that, you know, you have the bond market itself. We have gone, it's been one way move since August 20, August 4th, rather. So what has happened there is that it's gone into lower price, higher yield. That being said, though, we went right to the bottom like we were trading, bonds are trading the exact same price, May 20th, as they are now. May 20th, they were laying out at 157. They go all the way up to 117 on August 4th, and they're back to 1.57. You know, so, I mean, it looks to me like bonds still want higher price. Now, way to hear this, this is pretty wild, folks, okay? So technically, to me, they want higher price early, right? Fundamentally, what's gonna happen is this, so this is just a mindblower, actually. So the Fed has already told us that in November, they plan on buying less than, I believe they're gonna taper it about $15 billion a month of them buying bonds, okay? They're buying an 80 billion right now, they're gonna buy less every month, and then it's gonna be over, that they're not gonna be buying any bonds in about seven or eight months, okay? Now, what's also happening is this, is that the federal government is going to be issuing, so picture, the Federal Reserve is going to be buying back approximately 96 billion in bonds. No, 960 billion. Are they not gonna be buying 960 billion in bonds? But check this out. The Treasury is not gonna be issuing a trillion dollars in bonds. You get that right, folks, eight trillion dollars in bonds because they don't need it. So, I read this article on last Thursday, I'm saying to myself, this is amazing, man. So what's gonna happen is that the supply-demand equation is not gonna change, and there's still plenty of people that are gonna buy bonds, and maybe that's why bonds are still gonna go higher. I mean, if that's what happens. Now it's making sense. They're in the middle of it. They're in the middle of it, and about, well, just as I just said to you, there's other, the Treasury's not gonna be issuing them, and there's so many people that need bonds, okay? And they need bonds because of how the balance sheets are, whether it's trust funds, whether it's anyone that has liabilities going out to the future. And there's plenty of monster companies that have liabilities. And then, and that's not even counting what I brought this up last week, folks. And this is a head scratcher too, but watch this. This is really cool to understand how this works too. There's so much money in the system now, and there's so many people that have saved so much money that we, picture as we put money in the banks, right? What happened is that when the 2007 crash came, the financial regulations that went into place make banks have more, they have to hold more 30 year bonds, long money, so that what ends up happening is that the banks got caught shot last time because everything they had was basically shot, and it, well, we know what happened. I mean, everyone was broke. That's the bottom line. So now what's going on also is that the more money that we all put money in the banks is that the banks themselves have to buy 30 year bonds. So it seems to me that the demand is still there in a big way. It's pretty amazing though, not though that that's how, you know, that's where demand comes from. So we'll see where the shakes out Wednesday, man. All right, well, thank you so much. Appreciate everything you do. Do you ever listen to, do you like blues? I do like blues. Oh, so have you ever heard of this guy early times? No, okay. I don't know, that's not familiar. I'm from Western Mass. I don't know, I think from around. It's just so cool, man, because I was looking at the name and I'm saying, I say, so he's a blues guy, but he's on XM satellite on the blue station, man. It's just really cool, man. I know, isn't that funny? I'll check it out. I know. Have a great one, man. Have a safe one. You too, appreciate it. Okay, so the note and bond market folks, it's pretty wild. There's no doubt about that, meaning that the demand versus the supply and how this whole thing's going to shake out. We'll see. Some of the higher volume equities out here today, we're taking a look at this market. Let's see what we have. You have Ford. Look at that. Ford caught a bid Friday. He's catching another bid up 74 cents for $17 stock. It's a big number. You get Apple down 93 cents. You get, let's see. Tesla, let's do the Tesla. Tesla's up $70 and that's at $11.86 right now. You got AMC up $1.56. Meta platforms is up, oh my God, this is so funny. That's Facebook, of course. It's up $6.55. If we go to Tesla for a second and take a look at Tesla, Tesla's trading $11.86. And this little baby here, I mean, this has been a one-way deal. Picture this and let's see, one, two, three. In six days, just in six days, it's gone from $8.55 up until the $11.93. And I'm sure many of you heard by now, you get Elon Musk and the head of, let's see, here it is right here. This is really a trip, man. And this just goes to show that, so Elon Musk, the head says he'll sell Tesla stuff to solve world hunger if the UN shows how money is spent. He's so right, man. The head of the world food bank at the UN was pushing that if he had $6 billion, folks, okay, he could save 42 million lives. And the bottom line is that Musk basically called them out and says, okay, man, he was calling out Musk as well as Jeff Bezos. Musk said, hey, man, okay, you show me on this Twitter feed right now how you can do this, be happy to give you $6 billion. The bottom line is that you can see the BS that gets involved. If $6 billion, folks, could save 48 million people, guess what? Plenty of people would be writing a check. The bottom line is that, you know, let's see, to be fair, the head of the world bank came back and said, be happy to show you. Yeah, well, guess what? That's not the same thing as saying they're gonna fix it. Are you having fun trading the markets but having trouble finding like-minded individuals to discuss your trading and investment ideas with?

Dow's up 44, Nasdaq's up 58, S&Ps are up two. Let's go inside the end of the X100 and take a look at what strength versus the weakness. Strength out here is Tesla, man. This is crazy. Tesla's up six and a half percent. You got online technology up six percent. JD.com's up 4.8 percent. NetEase is up 4.7. Taking away from it. CrowdStrike is down 4.7. You get intuitive software off 2.8 and Google is off 2.8. What's going on with Google here? And if you saw the... I'm not just pulling back. If you saw the article out here, folks, on Disney, the Shanghai Disney, it's pretty wild. I mean, what happened out here, I guess, it was either Friday or over the weekend, the bottom line is that they locked down Disney in Shanghai. 36,000 people. So pictures, they locked it down. They didn't even let the people in the... Well, let's go through the story. Locked it down, in comes teams of people in hazmat suits. The bottom line is they tested everyone in the park. 36,000 people. There wasn't one person that was positive and they're trying to track down this one person that came from, I think, Singapore to the Shanghai. Bottom line is that it's pretty amazing when you actually think about it. It's like, you know, locking them down and not one person. It's pretty impressive that not one person was positive. And then they have to stay home for two or three days and get tested again. So pretty wild. So let's go through the XAU and the HUI as to where these ABC structures might be. Now, I'll bring the XAU up first because they did decent ABC structures. So you've got 138 as your B, your A is at 116, so we're talking about 16, 26, 36. 22 points. The low today would be your C point which would then get you at 148. 148, right now you're at 130. Now what's going to be important about this is that if we get that, what you're going to see in both the XAU and the HUI is that they're actually going to bust the consolidation, the top of the consolidation. The top of the consolidation inside of the XAU is 146. If you go to the Gold Bugs Index, this is also a monster ABC structure on the way up. If you go to the Gold Bugs Index, the top of the consolidation is out here at 275 to 277 area. And this is a monster also. You've got the B point out here is laying at 267. The A point is 224, so we've got what? That's 25, 35, 42 which is going to get you to 80, 42, 42, 88. 88? Yeah, 88. And yeah, 81 is the top of this consolidation. So I expect what we're going to see when the Fed does announce what they're going to do. It's going to be so intriguing, man, because, you know, oh, here, let's look at this. So if, you know, Tommy was talking about this on a show this morning, and this is deer. So deer folks, okay, they got a deal in place, okay? The folks went on strike. The employees went on strike. Let's see. Let's just see this for a second. Because this, okay, so here, check this out. This is what it is. My take, folks, is that we're running inflation about 23 to 30%. And when you do these numbers, what you're going to see here is this. Watch as this goes. First, the employees are going to get a $8,500 bonus. They're going to get a 10% raise the first year. They're going to get a 5% raise on the year 2023 and 2025. But they're also going to get a 3% or it's 2%. On the even years, they're getting... One second, one second. The bottom line is that I did this math on Friday when this thing was coming out. Within a five-year deal, this thing is way over just a flat-out 10%. You know, I don't know what the normal pay is, but the bonus right after that of $8,500 is the beauty. Then you get the 10%. Oh, there it is here. Okay, workers receivables. There's one more deal if they have them here. But bottom line, I expect you're going to see more of it because the bottom line is what has happened is that some of these prices have gone astronomical. And, you know, a company like Deere, you can just picture that they're just going to throw that number on... Well, now their expense ratio is going to go up pretty dramatic. And it's going to be interesting to see what the Fed says about it because what's going to happen inside of that press conference at $2.30, I suspect someone is going to ask that flat-out question and they'll have the numbers right in front of them as to the Deere and the payroll. Because what happens with inflation is this, folks. When inflation goes into the payroll, then that's the last place that it goes and that's when it accelerates in a huge way. And, you know, we'll see how the genie gets back inside the bottle. But right now I would say that genie is outside the bottle in a huge way. Let's go to Amazon. We take a look at Amazon out here. Now it's trading down 58th. So you came down... You came down hot and Friday, but now it's just... That's soft, man. Yeah, so that's... You know, my take is that somehow this thing's going to still make it down to this 27,000 to 3,000 area, the lower end of this consolidation. You know, full weeks ago we made it to 3176. Let's see if we can get down to that level again. Now, let's go M-E-T-A. So is that meta? No, M-E-T-O. I see. Oh, look, they haven't changed the symbol yet. Okay, so it's still F-B. They're changing the symbol, too. I thought they were changing the symbol today. Well, we'll see what happens. Okay, so right now you have... The low for the year in Facebook is 244. We are trading at 324, 329, rather. Yeah, and this still wants lower price. You're into the gap on the way down. You've got a big contraction of volume. This still wants lower price. The new business that he's going to put a huge amount of money in, there's no doubt. If you thought Facebook was intrusive, that's nothing compared to the metaverse. Yeah, it's... You know, all you have to do, folks, to take over the world, just get off Facebook. Just get off social media. You'd be amazed on how much more time you have. And I suspect these tech guys, they're going to be having a field day. They're going to be saying, just throw out to all the people, all these things they can go out, we'll just keep going, creating things. And if you wonder why there's inequity in the world, that's going to be one of the largest ones, that's right, no doubt, between people just staying on phones, not realizing what's going on right around them, okay, literally right around them. You know, it's bizarre. There's no doubt about that. Dow Industries right now, 46, you get the Nasdaq up 66, S&Ps are up 3, gold's hanging in there, up 390. Stay right there, folks, come right back.

Dow Industries right now trading up 52, we get the NASDAQ up 65, S&Ps are up 3. I guess today, folks, is Kelly Flannery. Kelly is the president and CEO of South Tampa Chamber of Commerce. Check this out, South Tampa Chamber of Commerce have been around 95 years and there's not much that's been around 95 years in Florida, folks. This is an association that has more than 20 business organizations making the South Tampa community a better place to live, work and play. Kelly, welcome to TFNN. Thank you, thank you so much for having me. I'll tell you, the website folks for the South Tampa Chamber of Commerce is SouthTamperChamber.org and when you pull it up, you're going to see celebrate 95 years. I mean, I don't, what was around here 95 years ago? So our chamber was originally founded as the Port Tampa Businessmen's Association in 1926 and so they participated heavily in the importing and exporting that was happening in Port Tampa Bay and then eventually became the Port Tampa Chamber of Commerce after the inception of McDill Air Force Base in the 40s and 50s, eventually the South Gandy Chamber of Commerce and then incorporated as the South Tampa Chamber of Commerce to be able to provide opportunities for all of the businesses here in the South Tampa Peninsula in the 1980s and so our organization does have quite the history during its 95-year tenure. That's awesome and you got to go to this website folks, okay, because they have this big, beautiful sailboat there. It looks like the tall ships actually, which were coming into the port. That's a great history, Kelly. So, Pip, tell us about what a Chamber of Commerce actually does. Well, we hear many things and all we normally hear is that the Chamber is either for this or for that, so tell us though, down to the common man and woman on the street here what it does. Absolutely. One thing that's really unique about our region, the Tampa Bay region, and we look at multiple counties that incorporate that space is that we actually have several dozen Chambers of Commerce. So here on the Hillsborough side we have the Tampa Bay Chamber South, Tampa, Ebor, Uptown Chamber, further out in the Hillsborough County we have Brandon and Riverview over in St. Pete. We have the St. Pete Chamber as well as Amplify Clearwater and Clearwater. So we're really fortunate that as a region we have several really strong Chambers of Commerce that are not only working on behalf of the community but working together. So first I want to make sure everyone knows that we are separate organizations. So each Chamber kind of has its own governance structure and its own culture or personality within the membership. But essentially one thing that we all want to make sure is that every business association for businesses or individuals and community leaders to get together and work towards business success. So we want to make sure that each of our individual areas as well as the region of Tampa Bay has a strong economic climate for both small and large businesses to succeed. Another misconception about Chambers is that we're a networking organization or a marketing organization and while those are our tools and benefits that many of us provide to our members of what we do it's really advocating on behalf of businesses but then also offering additional opportunities for businesses to grow and succeed within our area. Yeah it's nice that as a business there's someone out there to basically navigate a lot of these laws and regulations right? I mean because someone just starting out or even someone in business for quite some time a couple of these politicians can throw a few things at us that can well sometimes it's good and sometimes it's not good I mean so you're an advocate in your particular case you have 650 businesses so let me ask you this that's a lot of businesses to have in South Tampa so there must be a real good reason why they're joining because I mean there's a dues associated with it right? There is an annual membership fee which includes a lot of great benefits that are included and then they can also choose to attend events or to upgrade for additional things like marketing and advertising for example a banner out on the website or things like that but I think the main reason that most businesses join the chamber I think there's two things one is to connect they want to connect to each other connect to other business owners or other business professionals and then two they want they were always looking for ways to promote their business to help get the name out there and to help build credibility for their business within the community so that's why chambers are popular for doing things like ribbon cuttings and helping businesses when they're first starting out to really find ways to get their name out and recognition within the community nice now what are the challenges you're finding in South Tampa or you know Hillsborough in general maybe St. Pete I'm sure you know the whole area what are the challenges that we have right now well you know right now we're still in this period of transition coming out of 2020 and this time that was really difficult for a lot of businesses as they navigated something new such as a global pandemic here in Florida we're familiar with hurricanes and how to prepare for that and how to keep our businesses resilient in this in the sense of a impending weather event but none of us really knew how to go into a global pandemic and how to get through that and I think that was one of the things that our chamber really focused on was getting information and resources out to our businesses during that time but many of them are still in a transitional period now still trying to build still trying to win back customers and consumers and still trying to figure out what to do as you said things often change daily and then navigating rules and restrictions or executive orders from the local level and then the state level another challenge that we see that's impacting all of us both locally and regionally of course is transportation and that's one of the areas that we've been able to participate from a regional perspective working with our friends on the other side of the bridge in St. Pete and Clearwater and things like getting the Salmon extension belt which is that 1.4 mile roadway that now goes over Gandhi bridge or over Gandhi Boulevard on our side of the bridge but connects individuals that are coming over from Pinellas County directly onto the Salmon Expressway so that they can travel and get to downtown Tampa or other parts of Hillsborough County and then most recently really excited for the expansion of the Cross Bay Ferry as we continue to move people back and forth between our counties and that's going to be a river view area in the next couple years as well. And that's a fabulous job by the way what happens in Florida folks okay we don't have we need still need a lot of help with transportation you know in a huge way and I'm glad you guys are involved in that you know sometimes it blows my mind actually I've been here for 25 years and I came out of Boston so that you know old cities have plenty of transportation what is actually it's amazing that you guys have been here for transportation for such a long time but it's amazing that the politicians don't want to spend any money on transportation I don't even get it I mean it's like where how are you going to get around right it's like okay well the great thing with the Salmon extension that was just recently completed just a few months ago is that there were no tax dollars used for that it's a private entity and it's paid for through tolls and through other fundraising mechanisms that the Expressway Authority has in place for everyone to enjoy whether you're traveling from South Hillsborough County downtown Tampa through South Tampa or over to St. Pete in Clearwater and there were no tax dollars that were used for that project that's impressive that's impressive well listen it's been a great education really appreciate it hope to have you on again Kelly have a great one have a safe one wonderful thank you have a great day thank you bye bye yeah transportation folks we

folks down down is up 56 and has 71 S&Ps up 3 and Zillow folks check this out Zillow we know that they stopped buying houses they are trying to sell 7,000 homes right now for 2.8 billion and the headlines here has the way the headlines read it let's see Zillow is looking to sell 7,000 homes it wasn't a fumble folks the bottom line is this so check this out when Zillow started this my take on it right off the bat is that they were going to pay too much money for the properties period all these computer generated deals that's just how it works my playground is St. Pete so bottom line they are coming into St. Pete they are buying man and they got a frenzy going beyond belief and I'm saying to myself I know this isn't going to end right because the per square foot kind of where the market was and where they wanted to bring it wasn't there that being said guess what it's so cool being in the marketplace folks because the bottom line is that I sold into that not the Zillow in particular but I sold over 120 lots building lots at the frenzy at the top of the frenzy I don't think the market is trashed by any means even pulling back but I knew at that particular point that the frenzy was just there people would pay anything it was just amazing actually now what's going on and that's including the larger funds so now what Zillow is saying is they are going to try to sell at least the larger funds two thirds I suspect they are going to lose money in every one of them that's the real bottom line because guess what they were crazy anyway it doesn't even make any sense that you do a $300,000 transaction and you're trying to make $10,000 on it like that's insane and in the longer run they were smart cutting it right now that's the real bottom line always remember folks the bear can claw your heart out the bull can run you over and thank god there's always another trade health happens in prosperity have a great night have a safe night come back and visit Tommy tomorrow morning kicks us off 9 in the morning great show have a great one folks have a safe one yeah look at them folks
