 The following is a presentation of TFNN. The morning markets kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good Tuesday morning everybody, I'm Tommy O'Brien, a company alive from TFNN. Just after 9 a.m. Eastern time, we come into the opening bell in about 24 minutes and we got markets a little bit mixed this morning. The S&Ps make a high of 48.98 yesterday. Headlines across the board, you get the Dow closing at 38,000 for the first time ever. You pick things up with a little bit of choppy action. S&Ps up by 6 points, trading at 48.87 right now. You're looking at the NASDAQ 100. You're up by about a quarter percent, 17,499, you're positive by 40 points or about a quarter percent. Dow, slightly in the red this morning, off by about almost two-tenths percent. 63 points in the red, 38,136 on the Dow and you get the Russell. How about it? The Russell, strength, eight-tenths percent in the positive, 16 points in the green, trading at 2,012, extreme volatility in both directions on that Russell. You talk about extreme volatility, I hope you were listening if you were thinking of buying Bitcoin as this thing ran up to the ETF approval because boy, it has been a one-way slide to the tune of 20-plus percent and you're talking about giving back, folks, to November 9th, two-and-a-half months. Just like that, man. You had the first acceleration in October and it seemed like that second acceleration that we got right after the first acceleration, a lot of optimism on the ETF. We've paired some of that optimism right now and you got Bitcoin down $1,500 at $38,610 right now. Maybe $37,500 is a little bit of area that you might get a little bit of chop. You trade through there and $27,500 is right back in the cards, man. Absolutely remarkable when you put that in context of what's going on. As I've mentioned, longer term, you're holding Bitcoin for a while. I think you got a lot of upside as you got rid of some bad actors in Bitcoin, but short term, when you hit almost $50,000, there was going to be a lot of selling pressure and we're seeing it come through. We're seeing it again down almost $1,600, crude, down $1, go to a five-minute chart. What's interesting is that over the weekend, I've seen some pretty affordable prices. Maybe that spiked to $75,000, $46,000. Maybe you just got gas prices deviating. I'm seeing some higher prices on the pumps recently in the last couple of days. On the left, you got crude, down $1,7375 this morning. You jump over to gold, a little bit of volatility for gold. Overnight, check it out, up to 2040, you're back to 2025 right now. You're basically positive by $3, but pretty close to flat on the session. We jump to notes and bonds. They all important. As we got the 10-year right now, negative by 6 ticks, we got a yield of 4.13. 4.13 is the yield on the 10-year right now. We have elevated yields, 30-year down by 17 ticks at 120.06. You jump over to the dollar index anytime you're going to have some rising yields. What do you got? Check it out, right? We got the dollar at 103.44 right now. What's in focus is you got dollar yen, so you have a bank of Japan last night, and you got Euro-US dollar with some action as well. Nonetheless, we got volatility across the board, man. We got the dollar index at 103.44. What do we kick things off this morning? We're going to talk a little bit of Netflix. Earning season in focus, Netflix in focus today, and Netflix up by $9 right now. Strong numbers, but boy, the story that's making the pages, and rightfully so. Paying $5 billion for WWE Raw, which I believe airs Thursday nights. Is that correct? Some of my buddies are really into this still in their 40s. Still into this. Talk about it. Love it. It's funny. When I was a kid, I remember the conversations of, is it real, or is it not? As I've become an adult, I've actually grasped how Vince McMahon, just great storytelling, great storytelling overall. I missed out as a kid almost, that you just got to embrace the storytelling, not the reality of it. People love it, man. They are going to be the exclusive home for the show in the US and other territories. They're going to air three hours of live wrestling weekly. Is this Thursdays? I think it is, right? They're going to pay $5 billion over 10 years. It's going to air on Netflix in the US, Canada, Latin America, and other international markets. Maybe somebody can help me out in the den. Is it Thursday nights? I think it is. Let me scroll down. WWE Raw. Nonetheless, you're seeing quite an entry here into live programming, and it would make sense. Yeah, check it out, right? WWE, up 20% pre-market. That's a big deal for them as they're getting paid $5 billion. The conglomerate is also adding, former wrestler, the rock to its board, so the rock goes on the WWE. You know, it's interesting. The rock's been catching a lot of grief because he's had a few flops. I think it was Black Adam was a little bit of a flop and a couple others, so he's kind of drifted a little bit back to WWE. Maybe spruce the attention he gets in there. That's where he started things. Of course, the rock. Nonetheless, he's going to be on the board, and he will be granted the intellectual property rights to the rock as a result of doing that, and he's going to provide promotional services to the WWE, and he's going to get about $30 million in stock. Listen, for the reach that rock has, the rock, I'll pull up his Instagram account. I mean, I think he's one of the most followed people on Instagram in the whole world. Yeah. But this is quite a shift. So you got the WWE, right? The UFC is owned by the same company here. So get ready for, you know, everything to be on the table here. And that's what's so interesting. The UFC offers many of its matches on ESPN Plus, while the NFL is selling Amazon rights to Thursday night. I had to sign up for Peacock to watch a game recently. So it's happening, man. The live shift is on right now. Braw is the most watched WWE programs. It gets a 1.5 million viewers per show, debuted in 1993. Yeah, debuted when I was 13 years old. I remember this, man. I had friends that were all about it. And those are the friends that are still all about it. John Cena. Yeah. So check it out. Comcast paid about $265 million a year for the rights to Raw, but the owner, NBC Universal, last year acquired the rights to SmackDown, considered the second best for $287. Check it out. It's up to a billion dollars, right? Is that right? Because they got five years. Is that what I said at the beginning of this? What did they pay? $5 billion? Oh, 10 years. So $500 million. Not bad when they were just getting $287 million, right? So they're paying $500 million. They're paying it for 10 years straight. And they negotiate the next deal for UFC next year. UFC's on fire, man. Now that is a reality show. Yeah. Yeah, so they're going to report after the close. OK. I thought I saw them out there, but it was just all of this. Yeah, so you talk about compounding things in terms of the close. So Netflix, with their numbers after the close. And boy, you've got some big acceleration up to $494. This thing, you take a look on a daily basis. From their last earnings, you pop from $350 to $400. You close out the year at about $500. We're going to open at $495 right now this morning. Longer term, that's a daily going back a year, but you've got to take it back a three-year weekly. Interesting. We're bumping up against that $618 right now. That's where the acceleration really began. I guess it began at $600, right? One acceleration from $600 to $400, and then you had an acceleration from $400 down to $162. Netflix catches a boost. Pay attention, because the scenery is changing in streaming. And it makes sense. Otherwise, you're going to see. I mean, myself, I subscribe to a lot of streaming services. I got Tommy in the house, of course, right? So you've got kids in the house. It's a little bit different. We're probably going to keep Disney. Don't plan on canceling that anytime soon. Netflix, he watches some stuff on, too. But when you talk about myself, people are going to start cycling through these streaming services. And guess what? The one way that they can prevent that is live programming. And you're seeing it starting off today. Stay tuned, folks. We'll be right back.

TFNN, educating investors. Welcome back, folks. We got the S&Ps up by four points right now. You're looking at an Aztec 100, positive by 27, down slightly in the red after closing at 38,000 for the first time ever to talk about some of the market action. Let's jump over to our man, Kevin Hinks. Every trading day, folks. Right here on Tiger TV, the Schwab network with fast market, 12 noon Eastern time. Kevin Hinks, Tom White, the team at the Schwab network, they break down the market action. They walk you through hypothetical trades using options, folks. Every day, 12 noon Eastern time. They usually line up three of them and we're coming into a great week of earnings right now. Kevin Hinks, good morning. Good morning, Tommy O'Brien. Yep, it's earnings season and the week in terms of economic data is a little backdated. We're looking for durable goods and first look at fourth quarter GDP on Thursday. Personal income and outlays on Friday. You know, the jobless claims numbers have been very strong. So the major data we're gonna get is gonna be later in the week but after the bell today, Netflix. That'll be a big one. What's going on with the password sharing? Is that add into the numbers? Is the advertising segment adding to the numbers? So, it's an interesting tale for people watching, let's say, what's going on in AI right now, Tommy. And think about this. Netflix as it sits right now is the clear winner in terms of streaming, right? They are the gold standard and yet the stock is still almost $200 off its highs that it hit during all the euphoria about Netflix. So it's a cautionary tale but Netflix still is a clear leader in streaming and they'll have results after the bell today. Did you see the story out there, Kevin, about WWE Raw this morning? So this meant a $5 billion. Pretty interesting that that comes out ahead of the expectation tonight. We've talked about, I found myself getting ready to talk to you this morning, looking forward to it. I know you're on vacation last week. We're excited to have you back, man. And we've had conversations, Kevin, about the gamblers, the draft kings, the fan duels and how much money they're gonna have to spend, right? It's a great business to be the bookie in gambling but boy, they're spending a lot of money. And I found myself wondering, I mean, the next shift in streaming is gonna be towards live. We're seeing it play out a little bit. You got Amazon with their Thursday night games. I had to sign up for Peacock a few weeks ago to catch an NFL game for the first time ever that it was exclusively on Peacock. And now you have Netflix, spending $5 billion. Do you find yourself having that conversation, Kevin? Because I agree, man, Netflix has been on a tear. I got it up here in a three-year weekly on the Thinkorswim platform. It's almost been a straight shot from 162 up to almost 500 but you got that $700 high. But I feel like the next race is gonna be on here and it's gonna be an important one as people maybe start to shuffle through some of those streaming services. And guess what, you can't shuffle through them if you have to watch something live. And I think they all kind of get that right now. Well, probably the next chapter in evolution of streaming and you're starting to see it already is live sports. That's the next level. And how does EFTN play into that? That's the big problem. Disney with so many other issues, do they hold on to that golden goose? Things are getting more and more expensive. Teams are starting to turn on their own networks and stream their games that way. There's so many different ways that live sports can go. Recorded shows, Seinfeld friends, suits, those are easy to figure out. But how do you figure out sports, live sports and the trends that follow there? That I think is the next chapter in streaming, Tommy. I agree, man. It's gonna be awesome to see it play out. And as traders, I think we'll get a little bit of volatility because they're gonna have to spend some money. That's for sure. We see it happening with Netflix. I was looking some of those deals for WWE. They were about 280 million about the last deal they had. So they're getting 500 million for this one over the next 10 years, five billion bucks. It's a big number. With that in mind, Kevin, we talked about Netflix. They're coming up today. We've got a couple of different equities. Do you have a few equities you're talking about on a fast market coming up at 12 today? Earnings today, Tommy. Netflix, Paypal and Texas Instruments all on today's show. Black Folio is gonna do a presentation on Paypal that we're gonna trade Netflix, Texas Instruments and Paypal, Tommy. So real good show for you today as we start to get into the sick of earnings season now. And can you give us a little teaser maybe on Paypal? This one baffles the mind. It's amazing how we at the market at all time. Highs, Kevin, pretty much across the board almost, except for the Russell, you know, and that is because some of these smaller stocks, you still have so many equities that are so far off of their highs, the payment processors. Man, I got just on a three-year weekly Paypal. I'm showing 310 where it's $63. Maybe give us a little bit of teaser. What do you think of Paypal at some of these pretty low prices compared to where we were just a couple of years ago? Yeah, Paypal, one of the leaders, right? In digital wallets and non-cash spending, has been absolutely destroyed. Now, they've made some business errors. They've made a few political errors that have hurt the company, but they've got a new CEO. Remember, they still have Venmo, which is extremely popular. So yeah, they are still making free cash and they do have cash. So it's a healthy company, but the stock has been absolutely destroyed. So yep, it's gonna be a fun one to cover today, Tommy. And see if this is worth it yet, or it's too expensive still. It's pretty remarkable, man. I just put it back even a little bit further on the monthly and you're talking about, we're back to September of 2017 prices right now, which is just amazing considering how the world has changed in payments and everything. I use Venmo all the time myself though, so I hear ya. Kevin, I appreciate the time as always, man. Great to talk to you. We look forward to fast market at 12 o'clock today and I'll talk to you tomorrow, man. Have a great day, Tommy. You too. Check it out, folks, you heard it. They're talking three great stocks. They'll be talking Netflix, man. That's the highlight after the bell. Interesting, you get some news ahead of that. And yeah, check out that PayPal, man. I mean, that is, you talk about parabolic. It's a perfect parabola, up to 310, right back. They give it all back just like that and we're actually below that price level. But as Kevin said, they got strong action. They got free cash flow. They'll probably be around. They're going nowhere. And yeah, you're trading at 63 bucks, but looking forward to fast market today as they break down some of that action. Yeah, live sports, man, right? Did you guys and girls sign up for Peacock to catch that game? I did. I signed up for a month for 5.99 for Peacock to access that NFL game. What was that, a few weeks ago? Was that a playoff game? Might have been. Was that a wild card game? I think it might have been. I forget, but I signed up. Six bucks. Now, the next part of that story, which is interesting, right, is when I signed up for Peacock to access that one NFL game, so think about it, I wasn't the only one. Getting emails the next day, of course, 50% off for the year. No, thank you. I don't need Peacock for a whole year yet. But the more interesting part on my side of things was that when I was signing up for Peacock, they gave me the option, okay? And, whoops, and Peacock is Comcast. NBC Universal, Comcast Universal. And so last earnings, let's see, in October you had Comcast down at about 38. You're at 43 right now. But when I went to sign up for Peacock, okay, I had two choices. I could sign up for $6 with ads, or I could sign up for like $10 or $11 without ads. And it was a no-brainer. I signed up with ads instantly, okay? And I think you're gonna see some big shifts in that. I think these streamers are really gonna capitalize, and I think it's amazing how you've gone full circle. Where what happened? You had television with commercials. All the streamers said, no, no, no. That's not our plan. Reed Hastings said, no, no, no. I'm never gonna sell ads. People like to binge. But guess what? You can make more money selling ads than you can selling subscriptions, folks. And I think that's where it's going. Nonetheless, we got markets slightly in the green. S&Ps up by two. We're coming back for the opening bell. Don't go away, folks. TFNN has just launched their new trading room, the Tiger Zen, hosted at Discord.

Welcome back folks. We got markets open, you're looking at an S&P, positive by four and NASDAQ. You give it up, you were flat for a moment, you're positive by seven. Doubt, negative by about 65 points right now, that's 210% in the red and the Russell, leading the way in positive territory up by 17 right now. We check in on commodities, on some yields. Gold, up about $2 right now. Crude, back above $74. You're negative by 55 pennies and you jump to notes and bonds and the slide continues and we got lower price and higher yields coming at ya. We got the 10 year right now. Down about eight ticks, we're talking about a yield on the 10 year of 4.14%. 4.14% and remember, we're eight days away folks from a Fed meeting, 2 p.m. Eastern time, on January 31st, next meeting to follow after that, March 20th. 4.14%, interesting. All right, we got a lot to talk about man but before jumping back to the Netflix story, so great commentary in the den as usual. Jimmy, great question, right? I mean, how does that deal come out in the morning when you got afternoon earnings? Now, not how but why? Maybe you save that one for earnings, maybe you're trying to disguise something going on. Nonetheless, interesting that just from a game theory perspective, right? Game theory matters, man, okay? They're coming out with the earnings after the bell, they come out with this news which is pretty good news before the bell. Now, what's interesting here, okay? They're paying $5 billion over 10 years. What's remarkable is that, what did they sell them for? I think 9.3 billion. The whole company got sold just last year for $9 billion. Now, Netflix isn't in the business of running the WWE. I get that part of things, okay? But it is interesting that you signed a $5 billion deal just to air their program for 10 years. Meanwhile, the whole company was bought for 9.3 billion just last year. Different story though, nonetheless. And yeah, it's Endeavour, right? Run by Ari Emanuel and they own UFC. So you got those partnerships brewing, it falls under the category of live sports even though it's not quite live sports, you could call it live theater, masquerading as sports. Nonetheless, people watch it live and the shift is on. All right, what else we got going on? Let's jump to some of the other equities this morning with some action. How about Procter and Gamble, man? There's a run for ya. Procter and Gamble, price hikes boost revenue. Well, Gillette right down weighs on the earnings. Yeah, Procter and Gamble on Tuesday were mixed quarterly earnings and revenue, but guess what? At higher prices, and that's boosting revenue by 3% up there. Earnings for Procter and Gamble, a buck 84 versus a buck 70 revenue, they just missed there. And they had to write down the value of the razor brand Gillette by $1.3 billion. Yeah, so as they restructure that, man. Net sales up 3%, healthcare division declining 3%. But guess what? They saved themselves through price hikes. For fiscal 2024, Procter and Gamble now anticipates core earnings per share growth of 8% to 9%, narrowing its prior range from six to nine. However, it now expects unadjusted earnings per share to be flat to down. Unadjusted, significantly lower than six. You gotta love those adjustments, man. Nonetheless, the market plows higher on a beat on earnings. Yeah, net sales rising, man. And organic revenue, which strips out acquisitions, divestitures, foreign exchange climbed 4% on the quarter. Pretty remarkable. Look at that stock up 5.2%, and that is not a stock that usually see that type of volatility, man. We jump over to Boeing shares. They're basically up 11 pennies, almost flat this morning as they're dealing with some woes. You jump over the store, United. United. Yeah, so they're up by 8.4%, okay? And what's remarkable here, the headline, and this doesn't have to do with the earnings, okay? They get their earnings out, but check it out, man. Boeing's gonna have some real problems, man. United CEO cast out on the 737 MAX 10 order after Boeing's recent problems, okay? They're considering fleet plans without the Boeing 737 MAX 10. The CEO expressed frustration with delays and manufacturing issues at Boeing. The MAX 9 grounding after the door plug blew was the straw that broke the camel's back. This is the CEO of United Airlines. This isn't some analyst, okay? United has 79 of the 737 MAX 9 aircrafts in its fleet more than any other carrier, okay? He's frustrated. He's reached his breaking point. And so pay attention to that one. Boeing flat today, but that's gonna matter eventually, man. I think we're coming to roost. All right, let's check out some of the big, the Fang stock says we kick off the opening bell. Can't hold down, man. Look at this run on Apple. Apple's up $15 from where it was less than a week ago. You're pushing 195 right now for Apple. You jump over to Microsoft shares. Little bit of a different story. Down about half a percent to 394.27 for Microsoft. You jump over to Google shares. Up a quarter percent right now. We jumped to Amazon. Down about half a percent for Amazon. 150.405, we jumped to Meta shares. Slightly in the positive by three tenths. Let's jump over to AI, NVIDIA. NVIDIA giving it up, huh? You're off by $8. That's about 1.4% to the downside. We jumped to AMD. They're giving it up slightly as well. Just giving up some of those big gains you've had recently, really. Negative by 1.7% for AMD. Let's see what else we got pulled up here. Oh, come on, shame on me. One more, there we go. Okay, what else do we have talking about? Yeah. Oh, this is a good one. Talking a little bit of real estate, right? Pretty interesting in terms of what's going to happen with the real estate market, man. For property investors, the price of homes is still not right. Higher interest rates record home prices are cited for a pullback in buying. I mean, it's not exactly like it was in 2008. And this is just compared to where you were in Q1 2022. Check out the last couple of years. So single family homes purchased by investors, right? Yeah, quite a drop off of these interest rates. Not surprising if you're paying attention in terms of where interest rates are. But many analysts expect institutional investors purchases to remain muted in 2024, right? 82% of small investors say they plan to buy the same number of rental properties as they did in 2023 or fewer. Not going to ramp things up, man. Yeah. Now, they make the case that Blackstone just bought Tricon Residential for $3.5 billion, 30% more than the value of those shares at the time of the announcement. They own 35,000 homes, mostly in the Sun Belt, and owns and develops multifamily buildings in Canada. So not everybody's keeping their cash in their pocket as you've got Blackstone out there making use. But nonetheless, we're going to see where we go. The markets remain relatively strong and forward, man, which is interesting when you think about what is going to happen when you get up to when we start actually cutting and potentially see interest rates pulling back a bit. All right, what else we got? Oh, you got to talk a little bit of China, right? This story out last night. Is it? How much is it? Saw the number last night. Come on. We got quite a plan. Yeah, $278 billion. That's the number I wanted. $2 trillion won. Nice round number in China. $2 trillion won. The latest package from China, $278 billion to buy mainland shares via offshore trading links show a sense of urgency from Chinese authorities. It comes after a route that's seen Chinese and Hong Kong stocks a race more than $6 trillion in market value since the peak of 2021. And remember, our markets are at all-time highs right now. We'll talk a little bit more about China. We'll talk some other equities with their numbers when we get right back. Stay tuned.

This program is brought to you by Vistagold, traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. Welcome back, folks. We got the S&Ps up by three, hanging on to gains barely. You're trading at 48.84, NASDAQ 100, barely in the green as well by 10, and the Dow sliding to 110 in the red, and the Russell giving up a lot of those gains were up by 10 points right now. So we're talking China and you got big numbers, man. The Hangsang is up 2.6%, 2.6% on those numbers, but here's what I wanted to talk about. So they come in China, right? And the story is, as I just mentioned, 278 billion to buy mainland shares via offshore trading links, okay? That's the package, that's the news, that's what has the Hangsang up by 2.6%, but this has happened before, folks, okay? It's hard to blame investors for their cynicism, and they're talking about cynicism of the package they just passed and how it's a short-term fix that may not really fix anything once it's done, okay? China has had a history of marshalling policies, policy resources to stanch market bleeding, but few succeeded during the 2015 route. State funds reportedly spent 240 billion over the summer, but that didn't keep prices from falling in after the buying wound down. They added circuit breakers, which actually accelerated things, but here is that 2015. We all like looking at charts, okay? You see the slide, the Shanghai composite was above 5,000, you make it down to 3,500. They come in with that package of what, 240 billion. Now, it's 1.5 trillion won was what they had then. This time it's 2 trillion, we're nine years later, okay? But look what happened, nothing happened, man. This thing drove down to 3,000 after getting a bear market rally, all right? You got two pops, the second one, you dropped straight. 25% is what this thing accelerated. So yeah, they bought themselves three to six months, but unless you really get some changes in terms of what's going on in the underlying economy over there, that might not be the recipe for success, yeah. All of this suggests that throwing money at the market as Beijing appears willing to do while economic woes lie unresolved will only embolden traders to sell into what may be at best a bear market rally. So keep that one on your radar, man. It's a big day today, hangs hang up by 2.6%, but history has shown us that just given people money to buy stocks doesn't fix the economy, folks. And as traders, I think we all understand that, but when you see it in the charts and how things really progress the last time they threw hundreds of billions of dollars at their stock market doesn't solve what's going on there at all. All right, what else have we got going on? Yeah, we can talk a little bit of Microsoft. Let's see, we talked a little bit of Netflix, we talked United, go round and round. Let's talk a little bit of EV. Why it makes sense for new EV drivers to look beyond Tesla? This story, I was from the journal this morning. We were talking about BYD yesterday, right? I found myself staring at a Rivian. I was in the lowest parking lot this weekend. I was doing some painting on a unit and I'm sitting in lows, I pull up and there is a beautiful Rivian truck in front of me. And I literally just walked around that thing saying, man, this thing is beautiful. Now the Rivians, they've gotten some good acclaim for the quality of their craftsmanships. Tesla on the other hand, sometimes the quality of their craftsmanship is a little bit lackluster to put it lightly in terms of some of the reviews that I've read myself. 59% of the EVs sold through US dealerships in December were leased rather than bought, okay? The highest share in three years, yeah. It's leasing share is at the other end of the spectrum. 2% of deliveries in the fourth quarter, the lowest in the last four years. Tesla, they got some problems, man. It's across the board. Leasing is a natural fit for EVs, okay? They talk about, and it's just not lying up for Tesla, man. Residual values in dealership EV leasing contracts, right? Going up. You're talking about residual values at almost 55%. Tesla does not have a banking arm like traditional automakers, okay? And might intentionally be offering uncompetitive leasing terms so it doesn't have to shoulder the residual value risk within its core business. Think about it. If you're leasing them, you gotta buy them back, essentially, okay? Think about all the stories we've had with all the people that got screwed at the end of 2022 that bought a Tesla before they started cutting prices the entirety of 2023, okay? If you're leasing, then the customers don't get screwed because the company owns them. But if you're selling these cars to people and then you're cutting the prices by 2030, 40%, right? Well, what happens? It's the customers that get screwed, not the company. It sounds harsh, man, but that's a reality of what's going on in this business right now, especially when you look at Tesla. And you know, they talk about the irony is that Elon has long argued that Tesla vehicles could become more valuable over time because of the self-driving software updates issued over the air. It has not worked out that way. I mean, is it really ironic that Elon Musk's words did not end up playing out to reality, right? I mean, come on. Is that the definition of irony? I guess so. But be careful on Tesla shares, man. They got almost a perfect storm right now in terms of competitors coming for them. But guess what? Nonetheless, you're up by 2.6% to start things off. Pretty remarkable. You jump over to Apple shares right now. They're up by 6, 10% percent. We get the markets in positive territory. We check back in on yields. Yeah, sitting at about 4.14 right now as we wait for the Fed eight days from right now, but we get some important data. As Kevin was talking about, right, we get GDP. We get personal consumption and expenditures later in the week, along with some pretty important companies for earnings as well. We jump to Intel. Intel with their numbers later in the week and the chips getting hit. They're off by 1.8% right now. That's after the pullback yesterday morning as well. Intel down 90 cents at 47.33. Tests up by 2.1. We jump over to AMD. Chip stocks down about 3.10% right now as well. We jump over to some of those streamers. Disney down about half a percent. They got some issues, man. We jump over to Netflix on the heels of their news. You give it all back. Watch out, folks. I guess the market, yeah. I don't know how you interpret that. Pretty interesting when you come out the morning of and you're going to get earnings this evening, right? I'd say it's a good deal, but is it a good deal for $5 billion? It's probably going to drive some revenue. It's going to drive subscribers, but is it going to be worth $5 billion? That's the question the market asks itself when you have Netflix sitting at almost $500 and you get their earnings coming into the bell tonight. Yeah, and you're looking at about, if you want exposure through Friday, you're looking at about $40 of implied volatility in either direction, okay? And you're looking at about $39 priced in for the move. So Netflix, and then again, so if you're buying a put or a call basically at the money, you're paying about $20 for this equity. You want to buy exposure in both directions. You're paying about $40. Decent move priced in, rightfully so. Netflix particularly volatile and they're going to have some answering to do in terms of how's the password sharing crackdown going, right? Probably pretty well. How's the ad selling business going? Probably pretty well, which is why you've had this thing accelerate well off of the lows of 162, we're pushing 500. You are right at that 618, always an interesting area on the Fibonacci retracement of that entire pullback from 700, November 15th, down to 162 in May, six months, man. Absolutely remarkable this market. All right, folks, stay tuned. We got one more segment. You got the S&Ps barely holding on to gains by two points. We'll take a look at some other equities with some action. We'll be right back, folks. The gold report. As a precious metal gold is still king.

S&Ps up by five, NASDAQ 100 up by 21. You take a look. I'm gonna jump to some of these fang stocks and the markets. I mean, there are ABCDs possibly everywhere in this market, man. You jump to the S&Ps right now, okay? You gap above that B point, man. You do it on some volume in the beginning of December. You're talking about 51, 22 in the ES. That's the A point back in September of about 3,600. I took kind of the lows of the bars there. Your B point back in July of about what, 4,600 and change your A to B, C to D projection off that C point of 4,122. It's about 1,000 point A to B from 3,600 to about 4,600. You trade back down to 4,100. You're talking about 5,100. It's only 200 points, man, right? Not that outlandish. You jump over the NASDAQ 100. You're talking about, how's that over there? 19,400, so 2,000 points potentially. And that's the A to B, C to D all the way from the beginning of the year, man. You're talking about 5,000 points, A to B. You pull back to your C point at 14,000. That brings you about just above 19,000. And they line up with some of the biggest equities out there. Let me get this back to a daily. Three a weekly and then zoom in. There we go. Microsoft, you're looking at about 457 for a possible A to B, C to D. You jump over to Google shares. One second, there's my text. 170, that A to B, B point you just got above that price level. It's important to keep in mind, man, because we got some movement going, especially on the tech stocks, and we're not that far away from completing all of these. And maybe we just have just enough acceleration to get through those price levels. We will see, right? We check in on some of those equities that are moving today. United, up by 8.4% on their numbers, strong numbers. You jump over to Netflix on their deal. They give back most of the gains. You're up by 1.3%. And we got to talk about the Hang Seng, man, okay? Be careful in China, folks. Because this is what the Hang Seng looks like longer term. You were back to prices you traded at in 1997. 1997, the Hang Seng. Absolutely remarkable. And there is your longer term picture on a monthly basis. You can't even see the pop. Thanks for tuning in, folks. Stay tuned. Basil Chapman coming up with a.
