 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, company alive from TFNN. Thanks for starting your trading day off right here at TFNN. We check out the markets and we've got positive territory to kick things off. The S&Ps, as we talked about in the update, positive territory. Back at about the 50%, you drive higher on some of the economic numbers we got this morning. Jobless claims coming in at 205,000, boy, it's a healthy number, 205,000 initial jobless claims. They were looking for 215. We'll pull up the chart in a moment, but that's a very healthy number. If we're getting over inflation, if the Fed is going to be able to pull back and potentially cut the markets thinking maybe it happens in March, meanwhile, the economy is very healthy. There's no extreme measure in terms of initial jobless claims. You get a healthy churn of maybe 200, 250,000 on a weekly basis. That's just the market, a healthy churn. Nonetheless, we're still under that number. When possibly, we've pulled back inflation. Pretty remarkable that that may be the case, but that seems to be the case right now, man. S&Ps up by 34, NASDAQ 100. We're up by a full percent on the dot. We hit the 618 of the move lower yesterday on the NASDAQ 100. The Dow right now, we just got to 37,700. We're trading at 37,652. Dow is up half a percent. You get the Russell up 1.1 percent and the NASDAQ up a percent and the S&Ps right now just off that number at 7 tenths in the positive. All right. Let's jump over to that jobless claims. Here we go. This is the chart to take a look at. Initial jobless claims is in black here and the four-week average is in red and pretty remarkable. It happened in terms of as inflation, think about where we were in February, March, right? The potential with, okay, we're doing 230. We're doing 240. We're jumping around. We're well above 250. The four-week average almost reached 260 on initial jobless claims number. And listen, this is not the most important data point of the month, but it's the data point of this morning and the market's taking it and running with it. The trend is lower, man. As inflation has come down, I mean, look, you could argue that the trend is lower since the beginning of March or February on the initial jobless claims basis. Now, continuing claims is a little bit of a different story, okay? But think about how inflation has come down over the period of March to December and then realize at the same time that inflation has come down, less people are losing their jobs. It's not more people that's causing market weakness, remarkable to see that happening. Yeah, the four-week average is sitting at 212,000. You had gross domestic product growing at 4.9%. That was also out at a 30, less than previously estimated 5.2. Personal consumption, which accounts for about two-thirds of the economy advanced at a downwardly revised 3.1% pace. And yeah, a key gauge of underlying inflation increased at a 2% annualized pace in the July to September period. Yeah, reinforcing that potential fed pivot. So you get that data at 830, man. We get a little bit of a reversal of yesterday's action. We're back below the 4,800 price point right now. You get the NASDAQ 100 up 171 points. And as I say that, what else we have pulling up the yields, come on, cooperate. There we go. We're now under 3.85%. Now, we were just above 5%, right? And this is on a tenure basis, but we were just above 5%. The tenure right now is sitting at 3.85%, just under that number. So we've dropped 1.2% approximately, almost a point and a quarter, right? Keep that in mind as expectations go forward because we're nearing the area that seeing the tenure decrease more than that right now is factoring a lot of acceleration of these cuts at a time when the market seems pretty healthy. And there's no reason why they should rapidly have to cut to that degree. I don't know. I say that, but then we pull up the tenure and maybe we got to get back on a longer term basis right now to this move that we had lower, which is 1.17%. And you're probably going to push the upper boundary of where this thing moved to at the beginning of this year, which is maybe the 114, 115 range to, I mean, you had volume in March, right? And the high on March, 1.1701. Where did we get to in May before we traded lower? 117. Where may we go right now? Possibly 117. And where are we right now? 113. So that's still four more full points that we could go to. Yeah, pretty remarkable. When you got the tenure trading at 3.85%, and it looks like on the charts right now, at least that you're saying that you got four points that you could go up, and that just gets back to where we were in May. We have a lot more data than what we had in May. And things seem a lot better than what they were in May in terms of the prognosis for potential cuts when they're going to begin. The market got ahead of itself at that point, if you remember. The Fed did not get ahead of itself at that point in May. This is a different scenario. The Fed is out there now. The market is doing the work with these interest rates, OK? But the chairman's words were strong. The dot plots were pretty strong. They put out their feelings, and it would make sense. It'd be pretty reasonable, actually, just to get back to where we were. I mean, look where we are right now on the tenure. We were trading at higher price for a lot of earlier this year, right? We were trading at a higher price in the tenure from May 22nd to March 6th, and at the beginning of the year as well. So it seems like we got to make it above at least 114 area. Where's that low from April 17th? Yeah, about 114. 113.30 and a half. So call it 114, which is at least a full point above where we're at right now. Maybe that's the first area you face a little resistance. And then you're going to be in this kind of area of chop from the beginning of the year. Remarkable, nonetheless. All right, what else we got going on? Check out this story. All right, we'll kick it off. We have a few things to talk about, but it's December 21st. You got four days into Christmas. I'm not even a little bit last night, and I was surprised. How many items last night were giving you the last opportunity before something gets delivered on December 4th? Now, different addresses have different deliverable timelines, but nonetheless, birds, they're going bankrupt. Wait till you see this chart, folks. Once valued at $2.5 billion, we live in exceptional times in the market, man. And I find myself saying, what a time to go IPO. Now, they really pushed this. I think was this a SPAC potentially in this thing went out in November of 2021? I think is possibly what happened. I'm not sure what's going on on this chart, but this is birds. They're going BK. They were trading, it looks like, what? Were they trading at $0.50 yesterday? No, they were trading at $0.08 yesterday? No, they were trading at $0.50, $0.42, and then they dropped down on the BK to $0.06 or something like that. You pull this chart back, folks. And this is where it went public November 1st. I was trying to find even some stories on this or something of when, nonetheless, once worth $2.5 billion, right? That's what the story says. And they have a stocking horse agreement, which sets a floor for the value with its existing lenders. It's going to use bankruptcy, and it's going to facilitate a sale of their asset. I mean, just be careful when these companies go in public, man. We'll talk about some of the other action out there.

TFNN, educating investors. Welcome back folks. We get the S&Ps up 33, Nasdaq 100, up 156. I was looking up this again during the break because it is remarkable when you see something like this. You try and learn from something like this, right? I want to understand how something like this happens where it gets pushed out to the public as it did in November. Now this thing had a one for 25 reverse stock split. Usually charts that go from this level, nonetheless, when it went IPO, and it went IPO at about a stock share price of about $8, it reversed stock split one for 25 in May of this year, May 18th of this year. Now that's the last part we want to talk about here. You were up to eight bucks, man, in April of this year, in May, yeah, right around here, this thing was trading at $3 at that time. This is post-split, okay? And yeah, it's at pennies now and it was a one-way trip. Be careful, folks, getting into a stock that needs to reverse split one for 25. Many times the momentum is to the downside when that's happened. And you want to throw some capital in there that you don't mind risking where it's a 100% loss, then go for it. But when you're throwing capital into a stock that's trading at $3 and they just did a reverse split one for 25, and this is what the chart looks like. And you're getting into it at $3 and it just went from effectively 250. Be careful and be careful on some of those IPOs, man. What a time to push paper out to the public, November of 2021. Do you remember where the market was in November of 2021, folks? Right there, right? The market went from a COVID low of 2,100 up to 4,800. And you got companies like birds pushing IPOs out to the public at a value of $2.5 billion when in reality within 24 months their company is worth zero. Not exactly going over the technicals, but it's something to think about when you see some of those numbers and the hysteria. Now you go to this market, okay? Think about that some of those forces getting eliminated in the market, right? We're back at new highs. And you have had many stocks that struggled really taking a beating over that time, pulling back. Basil's webinar last night, right? Making lows in 2023, charging higher, ready for even more in the coming years. You've gotten rid of the bad ones and the ones that actually made it and survived are ready to go higher. I think, I mean, boy, it's quite a case, man. I was looking at this market last night and it feels like there's potential ABCs, man, that can be rockin' higher. I mean, look at Amazon. Amazon's got $35 that it could go to the upside and it's just pushing highs right now. There's room on many great equities right now to valuations. Amazon, that's not a spike high I'm talking about. I'm talking about a high of 175. That's $23 where we're above right now. That's a 15% rise and that's where Amazon just traded to a high for a period of a year from September of 2020 all the way to December of 2021. Remarkable. Now, you jump over to Microsoft. I mean, what if we're ever experiencing something like an A to B, C to D? And I'm not cherry pickin' 2018 to 2021, okay? I'm just really talkin' about even the acceleration we've had this year. You know, look at Microsoft, man. It goes from 215 and A point. Your B point, 366, that's 150 point, A to B leg. Okay, now watch this. And your C point is 315, which if you get an A to B leg off 315, you're talkin' about 465, which is almost 100 point above where Microsoft is trading at right now. And all that's gettin' is an A to B move that we had at the beginning of the year and starting that move that we just had in October. And if you don't think it can happen, we just traded from 311 to 384. You just traded 70 points higher or so. And we need another 100 points from where we're trading at right now over a period of, I mean, what, that took almost a full year and we've only been in this run for about two months. So we got 10 months that we could do it. We did 70 points in two months. We'd need 10 months to do 100 points. Nonetheless, you get the point. And those are in a few different equities. Let's take this off. We're gonna take a look at Google. Yeah, almost made it to the 318 in terms of the pullback. I mean, Google, you're talkin' about 85 up to about 140. That's $55. You take the C point of 120, that's 175, right? I found myself lookin' at these last nights and man, what if that is the A to B city portion and we are within the C to D leg? Let's see if it goes even further than that. What if this is a small A to B CD, which in Microsoft I just said, takes you up to what, 460? What did I say we got? From 215, got 150 points, 460, 460 or so. And what if we get the A point of 130 to 350, that's 220, that bring it up to 440? I mean, what if the A, there's two ABCs almost, right? And look at the pullback. The COVID lows up to the late 2021 highs on Microsoft, you pull back to the 618. If we replicate the move we had, and can you imagine if you had said to somebody in a year ago, November, that we're gonna have, that that's an A to B leg? How many would have believed you that we had a run potentially in Microsoft coming of 220 points, which would be a 100% move from where it was at? But that's your A to B leg, man. And that brings you to 440 and the smaller A to B, C to D. Let's see where we are on a Fibonacci on Microsoft. Yeah, pretty much right to the 318 almost. We're pretty remarkable if this market has A to B C to Ds and that pullback we got from July to September was your C to D leg across the board. I mean, you take a look at the NASDAQ 100, okay? Just ballparking here. You traded from 11,000 to 16,000. You trade back down to 14,000. That puts you at 19,000, which is 2,000 points above we're trading at right now, which is about a 12% increase from where we're trading at. And again, if you're looking at the same timeframe, you're talking about a move that took you about seven months and we're only two months into this move. So that'd be a move about 12% over the next five months going a little bit big picture. Seems like AI might be changing the game. You know, my dad talking a lot about this, it makes a lot of sense, man. It's gonna be tremendous, the amount of productivity that this thing accomplishes. I don't understand coding myself to any degree in terms of writing code, but just understanding that computers are gonna be able to write code that is completely sophisticated and that may be the biggest game changer of all. Coding and being able to build self-sustained generative AI websites with very little compensation that you have to pay employees and programmers to get that done. Maybe we're seeing a generational-type shift of the type of profitability that the market is looking for for some of these equities as we go forward and the growth that they're looking for. Pretty remarkable, we're sitting here talking about the NASDAQ might have a 12% higher over the next five months after the run we've had, but that's where the ABCs are talking. Let's see how the open is talking. When we come back, folks, we'll be back in three minutes. TFNN has just launched their new trading room, the Tiger Zen, hosted at Discord.

Welcome back, folks. We're at the market's open. You're looking at an S&P up by 35 points right now. NASDAQ 100, we're up by about 1%, up by 173, trading at 16,941. The Dow right now, up by 238 points. That's a lift of about six right now. And jumping around, Warner Brothers Discovery and Paramount, so reported that they are in talks of potentially a merger. You had David Zaslaw, meeting with Paramount global CEO, Bob Backish, on Tuesday to discuss what a merger the companies may look like. Interesting, right? As they try and compete in that market and they have some Heftman, you know, HBL Max, it's quite a price tag compared to some of the other products. But boy, they got some great programming, but no lift whatsoever on any of that news in terms of a merger. And that news came out, I think it was Wednesday, excuse me, I think I saw that report overnight Tuesday because it happened on Tuesday. Well, look at this pullback, right? Warner Brothers down 910th percent. Paramount down 2.5 percent as the market charge is higher. Disney shares up half a percent right now. You jump over to Netflix, right now up 810th percent. You know, it's just taking a look at Netflix during the break, right? Look at these companies. This is one of those companies, man. You know, all we're coming into right now is this consolidation area to back this up a little bit further. It we traded in not even cherry picking the 700 high before it collapsed, right? You're now just back in this area that you traded in from 2020 in July to basically August of 2021. That area was from about 475 upper boundary, about 564, but check it out this year. That's the same pattern, man. If this is ever, you're talking about from 170 up to maybe almost 470, okay? That's a 300 point A to B leg. That's gonna bring you almost to like 650. Not outlandish. Wouldn't even be making all-time highs, right? And these are some of the companies, man. You know, market's pushing all-time highs. But even if the fang stocks don't take us there, you know, now Bill Huang did some bad things with these equities in terms of the prices that show up at the high being irrational highs, but even taking out the entirety of that year, you're still pushing an area of $20 to $24 and you're sitting at 11 for Warner Brothers Discovery, Paramount, Netflix still sitting under 500 when you were trading above that price level for almost a year and nine months, you jump over to even Amazon shares, okay? Amazon, what do you do? You trade from 80 up to 145. That's a $65 A to B leg. You pull back to the 382, which is 120. The A to B takes you to about 185. Now, where is that? Basically the upper boundary line, right? I mean, that's even cherry picking two of the highs there, 185 is just the A to B, C to D. And that again is over the period about the next five or six months. Now, what's so interesting about that is that's when I see if there's any potential for problems, it might be then with the economy, okay? The economy is fine right now. The only real worry is that on a bigger picture is that there's some lag that is sitting there and I'm not saying, this is not a worry in my opinion right now. Things seem pretty great, man. They do. Inflation's not going away, folks, okay? They are bringing inflation back down. Everybody's in shock of the current prices of things. And you have to separate that from what the Fed sees, which is the interest rate from where we are right now going forward. If today going forward, we are at 2% growth and we're at 2% interest rate, right? They've reached their long-term growth objectives. They've reached their reasonable price inflation at a number of 2% and they're okay with that. They don't care that you gotta pay X amount for your groceries every day, unfortunately, because they have low in inflation. They don't want those numbers to go back down and we're right near those numbers right now and you probably got some room to run in this market. When you look at so many good companies that are still well off the higher areas that they trade at and why is that so? Well, that's so because you have companies like Apple trading at 196 when the all-time highs from 2021 were about 175 or 180, right? Your company is like NVIDIA trading at 500, once trading at 320 when things were going well, et cetera, well over where they're at. Your company is like Microsoft, reached 384. You never got really above 340 even in the highs of that area, okay? Google hasn't quite made it just yet but they're basically sitting at all-time highs but that's another great example of a company that probably has room to trade higher, man. I mean, Google, they've been plowing almost more money than anybody into generative AI. They get the search business that they can lose, okay? But they've been plowing more money than almost anybody. Things have held up pretty well. It's gonna be interesting to see how they factor in advertising into something like ChatGPT. Where are they gonna fit those dads within that answer, right? Because Google, it's easy. They're showing you a list of search functions, search results, and they put the ads in between them. Well, if I just want ChatGPT to write me some code, where does that ad come from? Interesting, but Google, not even at all-time highs, nonetheless. But yeah, so it'd be interesting to see how this goes. I mean, I was looking at this last night, man, Warner Brothers Discovery, you know? Paramount has great stuff too but there's only one HBO, folks, okay? And take 78 out of the picture, probably take $40 out of the picture. $38 is gonna be probably a ceiling for a while but you're trading at $11 right now, man. You jump over to the Analyze tab and the Thinkorswim platform, you pull up Warner Brothers Discovery and you're talking about a company right now, $27 billion. Quite a hefty price tag, but nonetheless, I think there's room eventually. You know, you're talking about $8 to low last year. Maybe you scale into this ad to equity if you're looking for something. But we're only a few months away from a potential cut. And I feel like we have some legs on this market and I feel like there might be a little bit of a rotation where some of these equities and it might not necessarily be Warner Brothers, man, but these A to B CDDs that are setting up on equities that have not reached all-time highs yet, pretty powerful in the context of where we are in this market right now. All right, let's talk a little bit of new car sales. Car sales expected to tick up slightly next year. Increase between one and 4% is what the data firms are calling for, 15.6 to 16.1 vehicles. Would be the highest since 2019 when you had more than 17 million new cars. Pretty remarkable, right? Still not quite over COVID. But yeah, supply has been an issue of course. Sales of less than 14 million vehicles as COVID hit the lowest in more than a decade in 2022. Hey, look at how we're not even back, right? Look at those numbers, man, pretty remarkable. When the forecast is 15.7, I don't think, you know, we hear about a lot of cars, cars a lot. I don't think a lot of people know how far that number did down and how we're not even close to that number just yet. What else we got? Oh, this is a good one. So let's say on streaming, I planned on jumping to this article following the heels of the Warner Brothers Discovery. So NBC Universal, okay? Peacock, Comcast. This is another one I pulled up during the break that made me think about this for a moment, okay? We're gonna finish this one up after the break. Comcast trades from $28 up to almost $48. That's a 20.8 to be like. You pull back to 40 bucks, you get 20, you're right back to the highs of 2021. And we'll talk about how they're gonna be streaming the NFL. They're gonna be doing it with no commercials in the fourth quarter to grow their audience. Stay tuned, we'll be right back.

Distributor, Four Side Fund Services, LLC. This program is brought to you by Vista Gold. Traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Welcome back, folks. We've got the S&Ps up 33 points. We've got the NASDAQ 100 up 142 right now. We check in on some of the fang stocks, some of the Magnificent 7 Apple shares. Up about nine-tenths percent. Up about 70, you're back off the high at 197. NASDAQ, yeah, pretty much in line. You have the Russell leading the way right now. Basically more than just more than 1%, but everything else basically up just less than 1%. You jump over to Amazon shares. Yeah, they fell in the open. We got a little bit of a pullback on some of these big players, especially from that high. You jump over to Microsoft shares. Nah, still up eight-tenths percent. See how Tesla's trading this morning. They go up 2%, but you do back off on the open. And we jump over to Comcast. So Comcast down about two-tenths percent. Pretty interesting how this is gonna play out. We jump over. And so they are gonna be streaming games. They've got a game coming up, which is a pretty good game between the Bills and the Chargers on Saturday. So because college football is in a little bit of a hold here, you're gonna have the playoffs, but you don't have games going on on every Saturday right now. So then what happens is you get a few NFL games that make the Saturday routine on this week, I believe. So they're gonna get the Bills versus the Chargers. Pretty good matchup. And then they have a playoff battle January 13th to be determined, of course. They paid $110 million to carry those games, okay? And what they're gonna do is they're not gonna play commercials during the fourth quarter. And that is gonna cut 40% of the available ads that they have, 40% fewer ads. Now think about it. Did you always feel like the end of the game takes a while? It's only 25% of the game, the fourth quarter. And they got 40% of the ads in there. Now you know why, right? Mark Marshall, Chairman of NBC Universal's Global Advertising and Partnership Unit said the bosses get it when asked in terms of usually it's a cash machine. Advertisers love it, but guess what? They gotta grow their service right now. They're a service, is it 28 million? Let's see where they're at. I think it was 28 million viewers. Oh, come on, you're killing me. Okay, I'll find it. But nonetheless, they need to grow on the heels of the Warner Brothers Discovery Paramount. They're not even close to those two in their own right. And I'll pull it up on the next break, I'll find it. I think they only have 30 million subscribers. So in that business, that basically means nothing. They're gonna be trying to grow it. And their differentiator is sports. That's their deal. And yeah, it's probably a great route to take. There it is, 28 million subscribers, okay. So Peacock, 28 million subscribers. Yeah, a minnow in the ocean of streamers as they say. Now, right now they have the NFL, Big Ten College Sports, English Premier League Soccer, golf, and the Tour de France, but guess what? The NFL, there's only one NFL man. That's the big deal out there. And if they start doing stuff like this, I mean, that catches my eye. I haven't pulled up Peacock ever. And guess what, folks? When that playoff game is going on, I'm gonna figure out a way to watch that game probably. Especially the playoff game. Maybe the Saturday game too. I'm not sure, depending on how that works. I don't even know. But guess what? We're talking about them. And so I think it's a smart play. Live sports is something else, man. And that's gonna be the next foray. You see all the speak about potentially, you know, Dan Ives from Wedbush. He thinks that Apple is gonna buy ESPN. Sports is the next foray. I'm not sure Disney's gonna give them up because they have their own streaming platform. And it seems somewhat counterintuitive that Apple's gonna approach that to drive ESPN's ability for sports because there's this. I mean, think about it, folks. When I think about it, okay? Now I have kids in the house, so everybody watches their own thing. But if I was just watching it for myself, okay? I would never subscribe to more than one streaming service at a time. If you want to, great, it's a luxury. But you're really not missing out on anything. Maybe you want to watch those shows that are released weekly. They're doing some of that to you. HBO does that especially as well. So you just can't come in, binge everything and cancel. But many of the services you can. Okay, Netflix, there's no reason why you have to subscribe every single week, right? You could easily watch Netflix for a month, cancel that, watch a different service. Point being, none of that can happen with sports because it's sports, you need to watch it live. There's no point in watching that game even two hours after it's over because the whole world's already reacting to it. You want to know what's happening live. There's only one thing that exists like that and it's live sports. So it's going to be interesting to see how it plays out, but Peacock kind of making that entry. And when you look at an equity like Comcast, now not today as you're down about three tenths percent. But yeah, you have some room. Like I just talked about an A to B leg that's $20. Your C point brings you back to about 40 and that would bring you pushing the highs of 2021. And that is the highs. Yeah, we bump up against where we were in 2020, earlier this year. So keep your eye on some of these equities, man. You know, when I'm just talking about, it would just take A to B legs to bring us back to all-time highs and that might be the reason that this market has some legs because there are room on some of the equities that haven't even reached all-time highs and I'm talking about good equities. All right, what else do we got pulled up here? Let's take a look. What do we got? We got to talk a little real estate. Yeah, so the US and China, this one out from the journal this morning. US and China military start talking after a dangerous rupture. You had a video call between the generals, follow a summit agreement between President Biden and President Xi. What was also said at that meeting that just came out I think recently was that President Xi told Biden straight out that he is going to unify Taiwan with China. It's happening. So I think that we're talking, it's always a good thing to be talking to a foe. It really is. Especially one where you could have a nuclear battle and we're not talking about finance, but talking is not a bad deal. But I don't know how that hump we get over in terms of them unifying Taiwan. That leads us. How geopolitical tensions exist at that point. You're seeing Apple moving a lot of their production out of China to India. I feel like that is going to become a focal point and that China is gonna knock back down. And I don't know how that plays out. But nonetheless, they're trying to school things right now. They have some problems with their economy and they're not able to be just as bold as they may want to be as the years go forward. But that's not always going to be the case. Yeah, unify, invade exactly. Jamino. So keep that in mind that that's what he told Biden because that didn't really get a lot of press. It wasn't out there at first, but nonetheless it is now. All right, what else we got on here? Yeah, just talking bills. I mean, we could go through it, but the headline almost speaks for itself as you jump through some of the numbers though, man. Look at this, holiday retail sales. Man, Americans love the holidays. 929.5 billion dollars. And that spans the months of November and December, which I say is pretty fair right about now. And it's only declined once. Falling 5% between 2007 and 2008 when the whole financial crisis in world was falling apart. We'll talk a little bit more about this. We'll talk a little bit more about some of the other equities moving this morning. Folks, we'll take a look at some of those CPI numbers as well. We'll be back to finish up the show. Don't go away.

We have the S&P's up almost 38 points right now. We're trading at 47.87. You get a little bit of an acceleration on those numbers at 8.30. We drive to a high of almost 47.90. As we get into the open, we're sitting at 47.86. NASDAQ 100 up about 9.10%. You get the Dow up 6.10% right now. And the Russell leading the way up by 26 points. Jumping back to that story, talking a little bit of spending. And the headline here is that Americans spending less on gifts and more on everything else. Services is what they're talking about here, okay? But with the holiday chart, it's pretty remarkable. 15 straight years is what it is, man. 15 straight years. The last year it went down was 2008. It's 2023. That's 15 years. And yeah, it's went up every single year since then. This also so artistic I wanted to bring up. 40% of Gen Z and millennials expect to go into debt just to make it through the holidays. Pretty remarkable, man. I mean, the financing options such as buy now, pay later, or firm, we're gonna pull up right in a moment. But almost 7.2% of online sales over Black Friday and Cyber Week, up 25% from last year. Now, here's a perfect example. That's such a distorting. I mean, it is what it is, okay? They're citing a percentage on a percentage, which was very small, okay? So that's only talking about going folks from six to 7.2%, maybe from what? 5.9 to 7.2 is a 25% increase, okay? But it doesn't sound to startling. Great example of how percentage is on small numbers. Nonetheless, it is a 25% increase going from about 5.9% of sales to 7.2%. And we'll finish up the show, taking a look at a firm. And yeah, they're gonna be able to be at checkout at Walmart. I saw a meme yesterday, pretty remarkable. Talking about financing a Domino's Pizza. Nonetheless, we got a firm, up 5%. Again, today, keep your eye on that one, man.
