 The following is a presentation of TFNN, the morning markets kickoff with your host Tommy O'Brien. Good morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN, 9.06 a.m. Tuesday morning. We got about 24 minutes ago until the start of trading, and we got markets in positive territory. S&Ps right now up by 15 points, trading at 44.67. Coming up to the highs we had basically 24 hours ago. We had a little bit of volatility to the downside yesterday. You're talking about yesterday, basically market right where we were when that sell-off began at about 12.30 p.m. Eastern time. You traded from 44.65 down about 50 points to 44.15. We almost got it all back though by about 5 p.m. Eastern time. You see the acceleration even into the close last night. Markets in positive territory. NASDAQ 100, volatility as well. We're sitting at 14,394 this morning. Right now, pretty similar area. When you talk about where we were, the market, yesterday, trades from 14,400 down about 200 points. You accelerate into the close almost right back to that same area. And interesting, NASDAQ 100 did it basically twice yesterday. Sells off on the open, gets back to even by 11.15 p.m. Eastern time, and it does it all again in the afternoon session. Now, up 165 points this morning at 34,601. That's about half a percent. You get the Russell up about a 30 percent, 2070. Crude holding relatively well in terms of 110 right now, makes it to 113 last night. Talk about an acceleration. I'm going to put it on a 10-day chart, so a 30-minute chart going back 10 days. Think about it. Crude's up $17, folks, in the last, just in a week. You get a pullback, you get a pop off that pullback. Volatility in spades, but pretty remarkable. The bullish run, it's gotten since. You just pull back to last Tuesday at 93 bucks. Crude, comfortable at 110 right now. Geopolitical tensions still very elevated, obviously. Go contract down about three bucks this morning at 19.26. You back it up to last week. You were trading at 18.95, the lows of Wednesday, and we check out notes and bonds, man. This one is just remarkable. Talking to my dad yesterday, I'm saying, man, the movie yesterday and notes and bonds. Remarkable. Folks, had a great weekend, my birthday weekend this weekend. I appreciate it. My man, Basil Chapman, covering for me yesterday. Larry Pezzavento, filling in for my dad yesterday afternoon. My dad will be back live this afternoon at 3 o'clock, both back in the saddle this morning, 10-year. We're talking about a yield right now, folks, of 2.36%. 2.36. You have the 10-year rising about 7 tenths percent over a period of, I think, a couple weeks. Was it two weeks? I mean, I think this goes back 10 days. Let's check it back 20 days. So that is correlating to where we were on March 4th. It is the 22nd. So yes, you're talking about 18 days, two, two-and-a-half weeks. You had yields up here at a price level that correlated to a yield of a 1.6 handle, folks, where it had a 2.3 handle. The Fed has come with the hikes and the market, no matter what it did in terms of a sell-off, risk-off, I should say. That's when you saw the yields drop back down below 1.7 briefly. It was supreme risk-off as the war began, but the market said, you know what? No matter what is going on with the war, yields are going up. You put this thing on a daily. I was looking at it this morning. Pretty remarkable that you're actually slamming through the channel that this has been in since August. So we have a seven-month trend where you started at 1.35.14. You've seen lower price and higher yield over that entire time. I'm going to give you the three-year weekly real quick to show that that's not even the COVID highs, okay? When you had yields getting crushed to what were they, like half a percent or something like that when we were dealing with the COVID lows, okay? So this trend I'm talking about is just since August, does not even incorporate the highs that we had back in 2020 that correlated to the lower yields number. I believe this was just coming off yields of, what was it, 1.5 percent around here or something like that? Nonetheless, you can see we are accelerating remarkable. That's a three-year weekly. Let's back it up to a five-year weekly. It's like, well, let's just put it on the monthly to show everything there. Where we are right now, I mean, it seems all but natural. We'll probably head into 1.17.15, at least in the short term. That is the low from October of 2018. But look at that bar. You can barely find any bars. I mean, we had some craziest going on in 2008, folks, but I don't have a bar. I mean, what's this one? That's November of 2016, the election of Trump, just huge events taking place to get this kind of action in the 10-year. And we have a liftoff, six, seven hikes this year. That's the plan. Inflation out of control, CPI number at 8%. I was watching St. Louis Fed President Bullard on Bloomberg this morning earlier. And he is a hawk, but being a hawk is pretty reasonable right now, folks, you know, when he's saying, listen, these geopolitical tensions are going to persist. This is probably going to go on for a while. Even if war is over, tensions will be there for an extended period of time. And we can't wait. We have the CPI number coming in at near 8%. And he also said, yes, we'll be data-driven, okay, but we almost don't have to wait for the data, because he just laid out the case, right, CPI is at 8%. He kind of said, of course, anything could happen, and that's the mentality that I would take, folks, and I would encourage you to maybe take. As in, of course, anything could happen, right? All of a sudden, everything could shift overnight, consumers could become hyper-aware of inflation and stop buying products if they go up, forcing companies to not be able to raise prices as easily as they have been, allowing for inflation to accelerate. You see the earnings reports, we're going to get into some earnings companies this morning. They talk about that they have been able to raise prices and not see an impact of demand. You even have stores like the Dollar Store going up to, what is it, like $1.25 or something, staggering increases saying demand is not impacted. That needs to change. It couldn't change overnight. The odds of that happening are very slim, therefore they need to raise, they need to keep raising, and we'll see what happens. But the market catching quite a bounce, even with yields rising so dramatically from 1.6 handle to basically almost pushing 2.4 percent, quite a rise indeed. We back things up to the market. You talk about maybe parabolic, folks, that's your S&P, okay? We saw what the market looked like on the 10-year. Scary stuff when you put the S&P on a long-term monthly chart and basically see that we've had one pullback barely, and that is the COVID pullback since 2008. And even that pullback is dwarfed from the run-up we've had since then. And yes, the acceleration we just had, you could call that a potential second pullback, but on a Fibonacci level basis, folks, you're only talking about a price level that barely touched the 2.36, a 3.82 would have got us down to about 3,800. I believe on the NASDAQ 100, we did get down into that area. Let me delete this shorter-term timeframe one. So 3,800, completely in the realm. If things go awry again, you have the NASDAQ 100 touched that area of about 13,000. We've now bounced a bit to 14,386. Quite the bounce indeed, but you look at this chart, right? Longer-term, we're kind of still in that pullback area. Have not shown too much dramatic strength. Even taking a look at the S&P on a monthly basis, yeah, we've bounced to reclaim some of the losses of February. But you still got the month of January out there that was a tough one for the market to say the least. All right, folks, stay tuned.

Every morning, folks, or every afternoon, 12 noon Eastern time. Kevin Hinks, Tom White on the TD Ameritrade Network, Fast Market, breaking down the day's market action, walking you through hypothetical trade setups, folks. Trade management, talking to find risk, talking options. Kevin Hinks, good morning. Good morning, Tommy O'Brien. Yeah, pretty interesting day yesterday in the market as Jerome Powell came out with what I thought was his most hawkish comments in quite a while, Tommy. And what happened next was pretty expected. You saw bonds and notes sell off hard. You saw the percentages of a 50 basis point moved by the Fed. Those percentages go from about 9% to over 50%. So he did say, if necessary, they would do that. He was speaking, member to the National Association of Business Economics, and he was pretty hawkish, you know? We will take the necessary steps to ensure a return to price stability. And if we conclude that it is more appropriate to move, we will. He was very firm, and what I think was he took the rally the last four days and decided I'm gonna use a little bit of my monetary capital to make sure that the Wall Street community understands that we may have to move faster than I thought. And so if the next Fed meeting, if they do have to move 50 basis points in terms of interest rates, it will be well prescribed. It will be very transparent. And you're already seeing that in some of the Fed speakers that are out there. So, Jerome Powell, I think kind of set the table for if he needs to move on interest rates quicker, that he can do that, Tommy. Yeah, I guess if you have to break the news to the market that the cost of capital is going up, maybe you do it after the market goes up for four days in a row, right? Interesting to see how it's gonna play out, man. The data, I've never been more interested in the data, Kevin, even myself, especially when we're talking about inflation data right now. And I think it's so cool how, obviously anything can happen here. Everybody was so far off last year from the expectations that I'm just so interested to see where we go this year on the expectations, because of course there's a possibility that things could either be more so on the inflation side or less so on the inflation side with the number of variables, supply chain issues, et cetera, Nike out with their numbers. They navigated things pretty well, man. They're up six bucks this morning from 130 to 136, but we've seen the companies that haven't. And really the ability of these companies to raise prices, I don't know how the Fed's gonna get control of that one because it seems like they're pretty easily able to raise prices almost 10% and consumers don't have much choice. And man, that's a new thing in my lifetime for sure. We of course have the story with the yields, Kevin. I tied 2.35% I think this morning. We do have some numbers out this morning. Geopolitical tensions, of course, persisting. Beyond the yield story, what are you watching on this market on the horizon as we approach the end of the first quarter right now? Yeah, it's a little thin, right? We hit Nike yesterday. That pretty much signals were in the autumn of earnings season, let's put it that way. So it's late. So we'll get some names. Like today we're gonna look at Adobe. We're gonna look at Yum Brands. That's kind of important with everything going on right now in China. And then we're gonna look at Square or Block in the third segment. So we've still got some good names to look at. We've still got some good earnings this week, just not as many as normal, Tommy. We're gonna have to go through them and be a little more, we've got some good names, but as you know, this time of the month, this time of the quarter, it's just not as many of them. So give us a little teaser, Kevin, because Square and PayPal, I've looked at both of these equities, man, quite the pullback in this sector, both pretty strong companies in my opinion, but man, you deal with some of these multiples, they get a little crazy. Square, you go from 289 less than a year ago, we were just under a hundred bucks and now you're trading at 135. And PayPal, boy, from 310 back to under a hundred before pre-COVID levels, which is remarkable. Would you give us a little teaser of Square or even just how that whole sector with PayPal, man, talk about a pullback on those equities? Well, good or bad, Tommy, right? PayPal and Square have linked themselves to cryptos. So when crypto goes from 69,000 to 42,000, you're gonna see some effect in those. Now, are these companies, terrible companies doing a bad job? No, they're not. They're changing the way we pay for things. And with Venmo and Cash App, they're changing the way we move money around, but valuations came down. And I think the biggest mistake that people can make is, in this environment, is interest rates growing up, you gotta sell all the growth stocks, right? Well, some you probably do and some of the valuation temps come down, but that doesn't mean these companies aren't still extremely high quality companies with the opportunities to make money. So we're gonna look at these and cover them. And I believe that companies like PayPal and Square, they're not going anywhere. They're here to stay. They do amazing things, not only in payments, but in brick and mortar hardware payment like Square does. Square has unbelievable tools for small businesses. So there's a lot going on here. We're gonna discuss all of it today, Tommy. I love it, man. That's a perfect answer. I'm gonna be watching for sure, because what I found myself digesting even my own thought as I was trying to ask you your take on things is what I was probably saying is, am I crazy for looking at these equities, Kevin, when they fall from 289 to 100 and saying, maybe they're attractive, man, because I felt like I missed some of that run, you know, on two great companies, because I agree, man. I use Venmo all the time. It seems like that's only- Even I do, Tommy, and I'm 100 and I use Venmo. Maybe not quite, but I agree, man. It's a great service. Once you do it, Kevin, I needed a check the other day and I couldn't find my checkbook, man, because I shouldn't have a checkbook, but couldn't find it because things have become so easy with some of these companies, and crypto is probably here to stay as well, even if it's gonna be pretty volatile for the foreseeable future. Kevin, we appreciate the time, the conversation, the education as always, man, and we'll be watching at 12 noon today. Have a great day, Tommy. Thanks for having me on. You too, man. Thanks, Kevin. Folks, tune in every trading day, 12 noon Eastern Time Outstanding Program. They're gonna be talking Adobe too. That's another one that I have been checking out, folks. The back to 453, I mean, you're trading at prices that you were trading at in June or July of 2020 on Adobe shares, quite the acceleration, quite the pullback with many market participants. S&Ps right now were negative, excuse me, negative. Positive by 15 points, jumping over to Nike, as we mentioned. So Nike up to 137.68, they spiked to 139 last night on their numbers. Nike shares, they beat on earnings, they beat on revenue. Let's jump over to the headline that we had here in terms of the stocks that are making moves. Nike at the top of it, 87 cents a share, 16 cents above revenue beat increase in digital sales. Even before COVID, Nike was one of the first companies, one of the big time companies that were really doing a great job of having their own digital sales. And that was part of the reason when they got such an acceleration, successfully navigated supply chain issues. Some other companies, if Nike's doing well, that's gonna benefit Foot Locker as well. It was interesting though, last time Foot Locker came out with their numbers. So Foot Locker, ooh, look at that, barely up. We're talking about up 1% right now, market's up almost half a percent. But Foot Locker, there's your drop off on their earnings, basically saying they're selling less Nikes, probably. Stay tuned folks, we'll be right back for the open.

Again, the highs yesterday, 44.73. You look where we are though. We're basically in the ballpark of the highs yesterday. You take out that one tail on the open yesterday. We're chopping around about 44.70 all morning. It'd be interesting to see where the market goes or if it just chops around for a bit. As Kevin said, we're on a little bit of a hiatus. We're almost so used to so much news coming at us right now. It's gonna come again. I mean, we're coming towards the end of March, right? We're gonna do it all again. We're gonna get jobs data. We're gonna get CPI data for the month of March. CPI data, excuse me, headline number. Expect it to be, and again, to cite our man, Kevin Hinks. I think he said video game numbers at one point. Folks, we're dealing with inflationary tendencies that are already near 8% and you're gonna have gas prices spiking dramatically from where they were in February. I believe you know gas prices up 6.6% for the month of February, which contributed about a third of the 8% we'll call it round number of CPI. At the time that CPI came out, gas prices were up 20% already for the month of March. If gas prices were up 6.6% in February and they contributed one third of the rise to CPI, what's the number gonna do? Now, the Fed is gonna take that for what it's worth. You're gonna see the core number out there that takes out food and energy. The Fed probably gonna pay a little bit more attention to that if they think that oil prices could abate in the future. But man, there's a lot of volatility and unknowns and we just had the S&P jump just above where we were yesterday. We're right at that 44.70 price point. So yeah, a little bit of a lull in earnings right now. Now, as Kevin said, Adobe, they're after their bell today. We take a look at Adobe. Another great stock, but talk about a pullback, man. You're down from about 700 bucks. Just misses that round number. Man, Basil Chapman up next with the Tiger Technicians Hour. This is a long-term weekly chart. We're back to 455 from about 700. We came into COVID at about 380. So you're up about 20% since where we were prior to COVID. Take a look at the market, man. You came into COVID at about 3,300. You're up 1,100 points. Markets up about 30% from that period of time. Now Adobe shares dramatically higher to that 700 price point. We've basically given it all back. There's your parabola, folks, from 450 to 700. Back to 450. We had quite a little consolidation here. Adobe, maybe it's found a little bit of a bid. If I'm making this trade on Adobe and I don't have any equity trades on it right now, but it was on something I'm looking at with earnings tonight, it's always nice when you're trading in an area where you have support, right? Many times, look how often Adobe found some support from where you were in August of 2020. You're talking about in October, we found a bounce, almost got back to that area in January of 2021. Dip slightly below that area to start off 21 as well in March. And then, yeah, we come right back down to that area. But you had a consolidation between 450 and 500 on Adobe shares, basically from August all the way through to the end of May of last year. I mean, that's a pretty decent nine-month consolidation and you were right back to that area again. Now, what I will say is that if the market sells off again because the market's just caught quite a bounce, which is part of the reason Adobe's caught quite a bounce. But again, coming into that area, at least you can have a trading plan that you have your back against the wall because if Adobe trades lower than this, I mean, you're probably going back to 384 in terms of the highs that we came into COVID on that area. Didn't quite make it down previously. You have a low in March of 420 and we got last week, 407 was the lowest, the highest pre-COVID 386 for Adobe. You jump over to the Analyze tab, 30 bucks is what the market has priced in right now for their earnings after the bell tonight. You want exposure for the whole week. You're talking about $33 of implied volatility for a $450 stock for Adobe after the bell today. What else we get in terms of earnings? Since we're on, I think we get General Mills, not many as Kevin said. General Mills, let's see. Yes, they are, no, let's come on. Oh, we catching up. There we go, General Mills, yes they are. General Mills is going to be out Wednesday before the bell, before the open, not before the bell. They're pricing in, about a 5% move, $3.50 move, $62 stock. They're out with their numbers Wednesday before the market. Checking out General Mills, quite the pullback in March there. I believe, is that having to do with cereal and the cost of wheat, I believe? Hadn't even looked at this, that's how quick everything's reverberating. Yeah, as we all know, wheat, watch out. And what else we have? I think we got Darden, Thursday after the close, along with some others, but those are the ones that stick out. Now there's your chart of Darden. Interesting, just kind of back to where you were prior to COVID. We chop around above those levels for an extended period of time, back on a daily chart for some shorter term context. Sales off in March, we pop a bit from 116 to 132. Now we jump over to the Analyze tab. Yeah, so they are out with their numbers. Yes, it is. Thursday after the close, you're talking about an $11.40 move right now for Darden for $132 stock. That makes sense, 9%. They're gonna have some volatility when you think about restaurants, et cetera. Staff, cost of food, cost of wages, and all of that. All right, we got the markets popping a bit. Jumping back to the S&P, you're up 24 points right now, 44.76, you're talking about a Nasdaq, up 64 right now, we jump around to some of the fang stocks. Let's kick it off with Amazon shares. Look at that acceleration, man. Let's put this back on a little bit of a longer term timeframe. Excuse me, if you're thinking you missed the run on Amazon folks, you didn't. Because you'd be getting into prices right now that Amazon was trading at almost two years ago. How can you miss the run on Amazon? And this is where mentality, I'm not saying to buy Amazon, okay? But I'm trying to attune you to the mentality that I do own Amazon a retirement account. When it gets down to this lower L level of 2900, 2800 or so, I think that's a nice area that you could build partial positions for longer term position in Amazon. Is now basically in the middle of this consolidation area. The upper boundary is about 3500, lower boundary is about 3000, you're sitting at 3260. Longer term timeframe folks, if this is like, the beginning of the next leg up on Amazon, because remember Amazon accelerated higher right at the beginning, but it's lagged dramatically. The market had a stunning year in 2021 and you barely had Amazon positive, I think for the calendar year 2021, underperformed dramatically because the acceleration it had, but you're trading at 3258 up another 9, 10% and yeah, I would keep that on your radar. And when you look at things in the shorter term timeframe, like this chart, okay? Yes, I'm not sure I'd be buying today at 3251, okay? When we were just trading $400 some dollars lower, what is that, eight days ago, let alone March 8th, so you're talking about two weeks ago, exactly. Folks, Amazon was $600, we'll call it lower, which is a 20-something percent pop, 21 or 22%. This equity just rose Amazon over the period of two weeks. So yes, I wouldn't potentially be adding right now, looking for some pullbacks, but keep that one man on your radar. If you're looking for Amazon, it's still right in this consolidation. And my expectation is whenever it breaks out of this thing, it's gonna break out to the upside, because Amazon's got a lot going for it. And we'll leave it at that. That's my take, could be wrong, but man, I like that consolidation. And if you're ever talking about a trading range that you trade from basically call it even 1800, we'll call it 2000 for simple math, up to a price of 3,200, give or take, maybe 3,400. We're talking about 12 or 1,400 points, dollars. You make that next leg up, you're talking about 4,200 or 4,400, not out of the realm at all, when Amazon's already got a high of 3,700, made eight months ago, folks. Markets accelerating higher, S&P's up 29. We'll be right back.

Markets jump about 15 points in the S&Ps. You get the NASDAQ 100. You jump from a price point of just under $14,400. You're now positive by 3 quarters percent, excuse me, in the NASDAQ 100. Dow up 3 quarters percent as well. We jump over to Nike shares up about 5.4% after their numbers last night trading at 137. Nike said quite the pullback here, folks. You look at the move, from a price level of 60 bucks to the COVID lows to almost 180 highs made as recently as November, man. Tough to imagine that Nike gives up a third of its value from November 1st to basically March 1st, all right? Not really, I guess we'll call it four months. No, November, December, January, February, yeah. Four months, four and a half months at a max. Nike gives up a third of their value. And then since then we catch a pop, you're up 5.5% right now, as Kevin had put it. Some good companies, man, really selling off on huge value. You got Square, they're up 3.2% this morning. Some volatility, they're gonna be covering Square. Now Square, are they out with their numbers? They sure are. So Square catching a pop, no, they're not. No, that was a load. So they're just catching a pop with growth stocks, I guess. Let's jump over to PayPal. Maybe this is rising yields for the payment processors. Let's jump over to some of the banks, man. JP Morgan up 2.2%, three-year weekly. You dive down to below 130, we're back to 142. You look at it though, I mean, JP Morgan is trading almost below anything that this trade equity traded at last year outside of the first month of the year practically for JP Morgan at a time when we got yields pushing 2.4%, folks. I mean, think about it. You had JP Morgan chopping around the 160s all of last year and now we get yields rising to 2.4% and meanwhile you're sitting at 142. At least worth a look. Some of those banks on a longer-term basis because if inflation persists, I imagine they may be able to get those costs under control. Recessionary worries, of course, always with the banks. But I don't imagine that's where we're coming from, folks. I really don't. The market might be a little bit freaked out about higher yields and I understand why. When you're so used to free money, the thought of paying for it can be a little scary. But that doesn't mean that the market is going to turn into some dramatic recession. May see some slowdowns, but I just don't see it in terms of the economy. As fortunate, we went away this weekend to a hotel nearby for my birthday. It's nice to be out and about again. I'll say that and leave it at that. And I think a lot of people feel the same way. And that's gonna be with the economy for a while, folks. And that sentiment alone is a strong one, man. Locking people up for a couple of years and I say, lock them up. I lock myself up out of safety. For me and my family, folks, okay? But just that in itself, okay? Is going to provide years of want to get out and about. That's my take. But I imagine many people are in similar situations. All right, let's jump down the line to some of the stocks that are moving, some of the equities I had up with their earnings. Excuse me, with just headlines. Ali Baba, I wanna get into. Now let's get into. So they have a $25 billion buyback. How about that one, folks? I believe I had an article up here, right? Let's see. Yeah, that's a tough one, of course. There we go. So Ali Baba, upscale buyback, maybe a sign of things to come. That's how Bloomberg puts it, $25 billion, 10 cent in, say, AOMI? AOMI? Also making more repurchases. So we'll check in on Baba in a second, but they sorted about 11% in Hong Kong Tuesday on optimism that more Chinese tech giants will follow suit. Let's talk about just padding the balance sheet, man. Giving back, not really padding the balance sheet. I guess taking from the balance sheet and giving to investors is a better way to say it. Likely that those two companies are gonna start share buybacks, post-results given their past practice. That's an analyst out there. Though buybacks are common practice among US firms that have a significantly positive impact on the S&P 500 from within a decade, Chinese companies aren't known for making sizable repurchases. So this is why it's having such an impact this morning. Alibaba's program is the largest in the region. It's still dwarfed by those of Apple, Meta, and Microsoft, expanded their repurchase programs by 90 billion bucks last year, has been buying back more than $20 billion worth of stock in each of its recent quarters. Here's what I'll say about that, folks. China, they're all about building things out. Share buybacks are just dividends. They're shown they don't do anything for growth. Now some of these companies, they can't handle the amount of cash they have. I understand it. But it's always tough when these companies say they can barely survive and buybacks are record levels, right? Can't afford any more taxes, buybacks at record levels, et cetera. Meanwhile, in China, up until the crackdown recently, the reason why they didn't persist is probably because China didn't want them just giving that money back. They wanted them growing, expanding, et cetera. I mean, we're seeing it right now. Some of the capital expenditures is just not happening, folks. They're not using the money for capital expenditures. That's always the argument, right? Companies save, they can spend the money on catbacks that'll provide future growth. Yes, it's happening to some degree. Amazon's doing it, man, Walmart needs to catch up with Amazon, but in general, buybacks, record levels, as the markets at record levels. Alibaba and Tencent, huge cash piles. Now they're talking about cash and cash equivalents as the latest quarterly filing, 293.1 billion won. Was that translated to in dollars? Nonetheless, we'll jump over to the Chinese stocks and maybe that's the bid. Here's what I'll say, though. Okay, here's the chart of Baba. That's quite a pop. It's quite a pop off the low of $73, but could you spot the downward channel in the chart, even if I did not have the lines on it? I imagine you could, okay? You're bouncing well within the downtrend channel. Now these lines maybe not exactly parallel, maybe this outlier event here towards the end of 2020 pushes this down a bit. It's not a science, folks, but nonetheless, the trend is downward and the trend has not been broken yet. Even with Alibaba, now think about this, even with Alibaba trading up $40 off the lows, okay, which is more than a 50% bounce off of the lows, you are still within the downtrend channel. Percentages on small numbers can be deceiving. Yes, you've bounced dramatically. You've only bounced back to where it was trading at a month ago, which was at $113 down from 319. So keep that one in mind. We jump over to JD.com. Now they had quite a week last week as well. You traded from 40 bucks last Tuesday to 69. Let's put it back even on a year daily. You were as low as $41 on March 14th, but again, you put this thing on a weekly. I mean, yeah, that's a bounce, maybe off an exacerbated low, but I'm not sure that you're going higher, folks. All that is is one big bar recapitulating off a second bar. This is a weekly bar. All you're back to is prices you were trading at in the March 7th week of JD.com. All right, let's jump around to some of the other stocks this morning and see how they're trading. We'll jump to Tesla shares catching a bid up three quarters percent to 928. Tesla, over the last 20 days, you were at 691 but a month ago, you were at about 750 as recently as almost a week ago, eight days ago, last Monday, last Tuesday, we're trading at 760. Tesla, quite the acceleration. Now you want to see a little, just to keep in mind, folks, you'd always be thinking about it. I mean, Larry talks about it all the time, right? You focus on what you can lose and you keep that one in the forefront. Not that what you make will take care of itself, but it makes things a lot easier, okay? Now, like Tesla, you're in Tesla, you just had this run over the last week from 750 to from 940, you better be ready for a down draft to 870. That's 50 bucks, 56 bucks lower, but all that is is a 382, market volatility and spades. Stay tuned, folks, we'll be right back to finish up the show.

We get the S&Ps up 26 points right now, NASDAQ 100. You pulled back a bit from the spike high we got. We're still up about 70 points, half a percent right now. Dow up 810th percent. We check back to Nike Volatility Persisting up 5.7%. We check in on the VIX this morning. You're down again, 2315, still pretty elevated levels when you think about the market pullback and then the acceleration. Over the last week or so, you've pushed from 30 to 30. So you've pushed from 33 to 23, but the market's still not comfortable getting under the 20s, understandably so, with the volatility that is persistent. Persisting, I should say. Jumping over back to Amazons and continuing talking about it and some great points, man. Talking about maybe Rivian, right? Now here's what I'll say. In terms of Rivian and Amazon, Rivian up 4% today, there's some volatility for you. Up to 180 originally, I would be careful of buying Rivian because putting your eggs in the basket, thinking that Amazon is gonna prop this company up. I think what Amazon's doing is they are diversifying themselves to make sure that they never get left behind, that whoever is producing dramatic electric vehicles in the future, that they have that foothold because that's where the future is, okay? It's gonna be automated self-driving electric vehicles, folks, okay? Now, the article that I'll pull up here, okay? Which should be buyer beware, is this type of headline. And this one comes from January. It was kind of the beginning of some of the fall of Rivian. Fell 15% in two days, hitting a new low, which is probably dwarf now. Let's see where this real quick, where Rivian was. We better wrap this up quick, man. In January, so this article was written when Rivian was trading at about $92. It's trading at 45 right now, okay? They're gonna buy electric vans from their rivals, Stellantis. Yeah, they're just diversifying themselves, folks, in a big way. Stellantis, formerly known as Fiat Chrysler, first announced the deal to sell its electric ram, pro-master vans to Amazon, starting in 2023. Yeah, so Amazon, a great company, would not be relying on any company that relies solely on Amazon, because Amazon's in one business for themselves, folks. That's the bottom line there. Thanks so much for tuning in. Feels great to be back, folks. Thanks again to our man, Basil Chapman, for filling in and stay tuned. Basil's up next, folks, with the Tiger Technicians Hour. Have a great Tuesday, everybody.
