 Tom O'Brien, what is going on, folks? This is Jacob Schup filling in for Tom O'Brien. I hope you all have a wonderful day. Let's take a look at what we got going on. Obviously, big news coming out. We'll dive a little bit into it. But it's Powell saying inflation is kind of a bit more aggressive or longer, has more resilience than they anticipated. So this is kind of telling people that rates are going to stay longer, or excuse me, higher for longer. Right now, you can see the market not really know what to do with that. We have the ESMini sideways right now, up at 0.12%. The Russell down about 0.3%. NQs up the same amounts, and then the Dow up 0.38%. Of course, gold is doing quite well today, trading at 2,409. You actually had Citigroup come out today as well and said that their new price target for 2025, somewhere about halfway through, is going to be around the 2,800 level, which would be fantastic for all the gold holders out here. Barrick, of course, did not do too well today. We'll take a look at that, a little bit going forward. Silver down slightly at 1.12%. And then Copper settling out about $4.30 on the contract, down about 1.58%. And then oil, actually sideways today, trading at 85.43 currently. Now, it's interesting with some of the bonds that we have going on here, right? You had some strength in them today. Obviously, these things went higher rates. Remains to be seen kind of how that shakes out. I know a lot of people are moving money into bonds currently, especially with just the high rates that we have now and the idea that rates will say higher for a longer period of time. But anyways, we can move on from there. Tesla down 3%, 1.56%. This has really shot our investment two in the foot pretty heavily. We're interested to see if they have anything to say about this, but obviously they're huge bag holders regarding Tesla and they're not doing too well with it right now. Still dynamics down as well at 1.39, 91 in the dollar, off from that 1.07 mark, trading at 1.06, 27. Still want to see it move to 1.07 and we're expecting that to happen. Disney at 1.14, Apple. Some news, SMCI, this is such a crazy chart. It's a super micro computer. So we got cooking on it. Anyways, up 8.16% today. Things off as high of somewhere up north of 1,000. I can talk about that when the charts come up. Essentially they're introducing new IOTs and embedded systems. It's going to use Intel's INTC, Atom and Core, central processing unit. This is low power, high efficiency. It's going to be for compute performance. I don't understand the hype around IOT, but every new product seeks to join it in a major way. Of course, edge applications are massive in more industrial kind of senses, but for the common household user, I don't see a use in IOT, but that doesn't matter because the market does. And we've seen things like SMCI. I mean, look at that chart. I mean, it's from December. Man, if you just have, we're trading at 235 sometime mid-December, all the way to its high of 1229, we're trading right down now at 954. And I think a lot of analysts see that going back up to around the 1,000 area. Some interesting news in that way as well is AMD. It's quite cool. Let's take a look at where we're at right now. Next, we're trading up 2.21%, at 163.85. It's quite the dip, too, from 227. They have just unveiled new AI chips for business PCs, which is fantastic. It's called the Ryzen Pro 8000 series and the 840 series. It's gonna be available later this quarter. Commercials PCs equipped with the Ryzen AI-enabled processor will often offer next-generation performance for artificial intelligence-enabled content creation, collaboration data, analytics workload. And I still think this is a little bit ahead of the curve. We're not too many people are using any kind of AI that's so intensive for business at this moment, beyond content generation from open AI. But if a company like AMD can get in here for the consumer market, again, we've already spoken about how to video up a lot of their major drivers are gonna be for training these AI models and AMD kind of allows them to be maintained, right? Especially on a commercial level. So if they can get ahead of the curve on this, which I think they are, they can have a pretty good sizable share of chips used for AI in business, which I think is pretty solid. See if there's anything else interesting with it. It's about it. When it starts shipping, of course, we'll follow that as well. In the realm of AI, Microsoft has invested about 1.5 billion in an Emirati AI firm, G42, and takes, that's a minority stake in it. You know, there's projections going all the way to 2030 that you're gonna have AI making up something like 15 trillion of the global GDP. So it makes sense that you have these companies investing large, large chunks of money just to get a small sliver of it. And I do see it being pushed, I would say, to be successful. Let's talk a little bit about this. Microsoft invests 1.5 billion in United Arab Emirates based artificial intelligence firm, G42. That gives the US tech giant a minority stake and a seat on the board. Under the partnership, G42 will run its AI applications and services on Microsoft's cloud computing platform, Azure, to deliver AI advanced solutions to global public sector clients in large enterprises. Again, if you've been with us, this is one of the things we talked about that Microsoft is so solidly positioned for, right? Is going to be basically storing a lot of this data on certain portions of its Azure platform. Microsoft President Brad Smith will take the seat and said we'll combine world-class technology with world-leading standards, just typical CEO talk. But again, I think this is what's so solid with Microsoft going forward, is when you're using this AI, that information is stored somewhere, it's sent somewhere, it's processed somewhere, it's not being processed natively on your PC. So where is that going? And that's a big question obviously security-wise, but also you just wanna know what's happening in the operations of your business. And this is where I think Microsoft is just poised very well, because you already have a lot of integration in businesses with Azure. And so it'd be kind of a seamless transfer. And for people who aren't Azure, maybe say like AWS, and we have been seeing Amazon invest a bunch in AI as well, and I would reckon it's probably the same way that they want the data being stored and processed somewhere on their servers. Regardless, the point is, is that more Microsoft can get into that and have these early AIs that will be used in enterprise solutions, that they can store that data on Azure and process it there. I mean, it's huge. And really the upside for Microsoft will be massive for that. Take a look real quick what Microsoft's trading at before we go to the break. Trading up just moderately at 0.7 at 4.16 at 58. Folks, stay tuned. We'll be right back with thousand chat.
