Hope everyone's having a great day, safe day. Make it a great week, folks. Don't take anything personally. Your truth is personal to you. Your own opinions and point of view reflect your own agreements and our personal view. It's no one's truth but your own. Make it a wise, let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industrial's down 57. Nasdaq off 94. S&P's down 7. Gold contract down $5.50 straight, and it's $17.93. And Oats, you get silver down 32 cents. $24.04 an ounce. Great sweet crude. Up a buck. $69.35, a barrel, notes and bonds. The 10-year note, up 7 ticks trade in 130.07, the 30-year, up 21, at 162.18, and king dollar. King dollar's up 151 ticks trading out here at 92.663. Euro 118, yen 110.24, and the British pound is at 137 to one US dollar. Offer number's 877. 927.6648. Give us a call, folks. Want to know what's going on in your world? In the world of the S&Ps, let's take a look at them. What do you have? Well, you get the spy kind of laying at highs. You actually have a, it's always intriguing to me when it does a slow roll. And if that's what we have, we very well may have a slow roll, OK? What you'll see is that we're going to get a bigger bar the next few days on the way downtown. Basically hit a high last week of $450.05. That was at $42 million. We get $42 million traded today. Yesterday, you did $51. If this thing gets up to about $55 or $60 million and you're still down $0.60, that's saying that you've got a nice sneaky expansion of volume. That is saying they're moving product out at these highs. NDX100, my take is the NDX100, they're already into it. Meaning that we do have a slow roll happening inside of the NDX100. We take a look at the queues. You're going to see what the queues are doing out here. The queues right now are down $1.59. You do have an expansion of volume. We're already at $27 million. You're coming into $27 million. We'll probably do about $35 million. The real kicker with the queues is going to be this, is that if the queues close at the high of today, which is not that much higher actually, but it's 40 cents higher, that would be saying that nope, bottom line, you're going to go for the highs again. We close at $1.60 down or more, we're going south. Gold, gold contract out here. We take a look at the gold contract. Gold contract rejected lower price today at $17.83. You've done 154,000 contracts at this point. That's what we needed. Why do we need that? Because yesterday you came down with volume. We came down with $252,000. We haven't hit the swing point yet. The swing point, which is $17.81.30. Now, when you don't hit a swing point, folks, OK, and you've been going up for quite some time, which gold has, and you're in the ABC structure on the way up, that says quite a bit. That's a bullish occurrence. That's the real bottom line. Now we'll see where this shakes out because you're still down $5.50. We are right at the lows of yesterday. $17.9310 we're at. $17.9370 was the low. I'd like to see it close inside of that low. Silver, we take a look at the silver market out here. Silver took a long time to get, cut your bid. We finally caught a bid last Friday. Silver came down hard yesterday. You're down $0.32 today, and it's going to be looking like the same type of setup, meaning you're coming down with dramatically lower volume, and you rejected lower price. So the low of the sign of strength was $23.91. We got to $23.94 today. You rejected it. $43,000 contracts versus you're going into $67,000. That's saying you don't have any more sellers. You don't have enough sellers. The GDX, let's take a look at some of the numbers here in the GDX. The GDX is down $0.08 right now. You're coming at the strength. The strength you're coming into at $43 million shares, you've only done $14. This one's higher price. That's the bottom line. Notes and bonds. We take a look at the note and bond market. What do you have? This is the already bunny, man. I mean, it's something else. The note and bond market, folks, OK? You have a consolidation happening. That being said, the note and bond market, as the gold market, did not come down to its swing point. When you don't come down to your swing point, it's a bullish occurrence. The swing point in the 10-year note was $132.25. We made it yesterday to $132.28. Right now, you're at $130.07. That says it wants higher price. If we go open, we take a look at the TLT, the 20-year plus ETF structure, bottom line, same type of setup. Yesterday, you did come down on volume, $15 million. But guess what? You were going into $18.6. So the bottom line is you're still going to consolidation. I suspect the TLT also wants to get back to its highs. Right now, the 10-year is yielding $1.33. We get over to Kingdala. We take a look at Kingdala. What you have with Kingdala right here, we'll see how this baby shakes out. Bottom line with Kingdala. I'll pull this over so you can see how kind of neat this went. This was just about an exact 50% move from the move down. 50% move would have been $93.84. We went to $92.84. Sorry, $92.84. We went to $92.86. And we basically gave it up on price. We're at $92.662. So it's going to be intriguing to see you may have an ABC structure on the way down. We'll see how this shakes out. It certainly had a decent bounce. There's no doubt about that. Had a decent bounce, but the bottom line has given most of that bounce up right now. We take a look at some of the higher volume equities out here today, and let's see what we have. We have AMCs down $0.88. You get the Apple down $1.80. Cody, the beauty company, that's off 10%. That's off a big number, $0.98. Only traded at $8.24. You get NVIDIA down $3. We have Tesla up $0.34. Tesla had quite a day yesterday, man. There's no doubt about that in a monster way. There's no two ways about that. That was going top side, and that was going top side in a huge way. Yeah, the Tigers and Tigers are talking about uranium. And there's no doubt, man. If you want to see a little rocket ship, just go to Kimiko. Bottom line, Kimiko and uranium has gone up tremendously. And Kimiko just went from $15.37 up to $23. There folks, come right back.

Welcome back, folks, to Dow. Dow Industrial is right now trading down 44. You get the Nasdaq up off 91. S&Ps are down five and that's quite a comeback from where we were. And yeah, there's a good buzz going on here even in the Tiger's Den folks about this. And you know, this is something that just never, I never actually thought about this because it, well, yeah, let me go through it first. Fed official who warned on real estate was an active retrader. So check this, man. You talk about having inside information. This is about as good as you can get. You can be on the Federal Reserve and still trade equities and futures. I didn't, for some reason, it just never passed my mind that they could actually do this. But you had Boston Fed president Eric Rosengarden listed stakes in four separate real estate investment trusts and disclosed multiple purchases and sales in those. And other securities, the Boston Fed spokesman Lucy Warsh confirmed that Rosengard's trades were not conducted via a blind trust, but his investment decisions are consistent with the system's strong ethics rules and time frames. What's gonna be interesting here is to find out what the rules are for the Federal Reserve. Because when I read this, you know, let me read it first and we'll go through it. So separate files for Dallas Fed chief Robert Kaplan, a former Goldman Sachs executive, showed multiple 1 million plus transactions last year as the economy was hit by COVID-19. He also disclosed a 1 million plus stake in Kansas City Royals baseball team. The US central bank slashed rates to zero in March as the pandemic spread and began buying hundreds and billions of dollars worth of treasuries, Rosengard and mortgage-backed securities. Rosengren, who has discussed his concern in commercial real estate and public speeches, has also advocated for the Fed to consider scaling back as MBS purchases faster than treasuries to avoid overheating in the housing market. Now it's really interesting about this one. There's gonna be more reporting on this. This is out today because you get two different things that end up happening. In this article here, they're talking about that he was buying REITs when things were bad. And the real question is, is he selling REITs, okay? Knowing more than we do, our rate's going higher. So this is gonna be wild, meaning the more information that comes out. The Wall Street Journal first reported Kaplan's trading activity which included transactions of over a million and more than a dozen companies, including Delta, Airlines, Alphabet, Google, Verizon. All transactions were reviewed by the Fed's general counsel who confirmed the transactions. Now here is the kickoff. We're in compliance with the bank's code of conduct. No trades were made during the Federal Reserve blackout period during which trading activity is prohibited, the Dallas Fed said. All 12 regional Fed banks have provided 2,020 financial disclosures for their presidents, most showing nothing unusual with little or no trading reported last year. That absolutely makes sense. It makes sense that these guys aren't trading, man, women aren't trading. It's insane that you can have that type of information and trading in and out of million dollar trades, man. We'll be doing it all day long, right? I mean, your probability has to go much higher. And it's pure BS when they talk about the aspect that no trades were made during the Federal Reserve blackout period. The Federal Reserve blackout period, folks, is very small and what ends up happening, the blackout period just means that they can't even talk, okay? Because we're coming up to a Federal Reserve meeting, you know? So it's convoluted, that's for sure. I mean, in a monster way. Let's get over and take a look at Bitcoin because XBT, this baby has taken a nice hit and we are trading right now at 46,000 for 18 and what's gonna be wild, man. I mean, this is gonna be, you have an exchange that we have, we got Tom Brady and his wife, Gazelle. They are gonna be the main characters in a $20 million campaign. We are gonna see this campaign, this campaign is gonna start Thursday night when the Tampa Bay bucks take on Dallas. And it's not only gonna just go Thursday night, it's gonna go start Thursday and this goes all the way through October and the name of the exchange, the crypto exchange is FTX. Crypto exchange platform FTX is trying to level up in the US with more established competitors through a new ad campaign featuring the married couple of football great Tom Brady and his super model wife, Gazelle. The bottom, the way they're doing this too, it's pretty cool for, you know, name brands of how you do this. The USA affiliate of the international crypto derivative exchange plans to invest 20 million in the campaign, which begins this Thursday night when the football season kicks off, goes through October. And what they do is this, this is how Mrs. Brady and his wife already have a piece of this company. They're also given a piece of this company to Steve Curry, the MBA. And let's see who else is in the Miami Heat. The Miami Heat just changed their name of the arena, the FTX arena. Well, I'm sure they had a pay up for it in a big way. The bottom line is that we're gonna see a lot of this. That's the real bottom line. And what, let's see, they give a little deal about what the beginning of the ad says. Let me see. Yeah, I'll get that, but it's a catchy deal. It's like, let's go, are you coming on board with us? Bottom line, you know, so we'll see where the whole thing's gonna shake out, but there's no doubt that we're gonna be here and more about crypto and what you also have, there's no doubt, is that when there's so much money getting invested into that, we're gonna see more ads and that's gonna bring more people in. There's no two ways about that. Some of the high, well, let's go inside the NDX100 and see the strength versus the weakness out here today. So you have strength, it's KFC, Kraft Heinz, that's up 4.2%, you get exhibition up 2.2, we have American Electric, that's weird, that's up about 2%. Taken away from it, NetEase is down 5.4, you got DocuSign off 3.4, Moderna is down 3%, you got Pindu Oddu off 2.9%. Inside the Dow industrials, in fact, let's take a look at the Dow for a second because the Dow industrials, yeah, that, see, okay, so man, see, this has been a little sneaky. The Dow's down 59, we're 35,000, hey, so check this out, man, okay. So, you know, the Dow's leading this down, man. Okay, this is, we get a slow roll happening. So, Dow industrials hit a high about three weeks ago, 35,631. We just came back inside the lower range today. 35,091 is the lower range. You get back inside 30,091, guess what? You can go all the way down to the bottom of this range, which is 33,271. And if we take this and we put this, and we see where this trend line ends up, just see how, oh, this is interesting, wow. Okay, this is a close call that we just broke this whole trend. You know, it's not a break with conviction because you're just underneath it somewhat, but you know what, this is telling me that the Dow's gonna lead the way down. That is really wild, man. There's no doubt about that. Nike, we take a look at Nike, we've been looking at Nike as a monster gap that's underneath it. Yeah, and Nike's down 226. Coming to the top of the gap, the top of the gap is 154, right now you're at 160.38. Stay right there folks, come right back.

S&Ps are off 8 1⁄2. Let's go over and take a look at the XAU and the HUI. What we had out here, you came down hard yesterday. Bottom line, we're looking for how much volume it came down on versus what we went up on. So yesterday, what we did out here, you did, okay, 25 million shares and you were going against 24 million. So you can see we also needed this today because today what you're gonna see, you're gonna see dramatically lighter volume out here today. Gold Bugs Index, I expect is gonna be the same type of setup, HUI, we haven't said the Gold Bugs Index. That is down 13 cents today. We've already rejected 247.17, you're at 250. Yesterday we did 20 million and you were going against 17.9 and 18, so we needed that out here today also. Meaning that you come down, you rejected lower price, you had lighter volume in that area. Frank on the Nevada, FNV, you know, we've been tracking where Fidelity's going with these. Now what's really interesting about this one is that you have Fidelity buying this again. It hasn't moved yet, that's the real bottom line, it just hasn't moved yet, but that's a good pickup. Fidelity started buying these gold equities a couple weeks ago, they just, they picked up quite a bit of it yesterday of Frank on Nevada. Let me see how much they own right now, PhDC. So they're at 7.5% of it, they own 14 million shares, BlackRock owns eight. Now the difference is with Fidelity, now look at this, you gotta see this man because this is so cool, this hasn't changed, so pitch this folks, this hasn't changed that I started tracking these guys in 1994. Meaning Fidelity, MassMutual and State Street. And you're gonna see if you're watching Tiger TV, what you see in Fidelity's right there, MassMutual's right underneath them, they own 4.8%. Let's see if State Street's here anywhere. What has happened, in Boston, we were all within a block of each other and I just picked up on this like, it just happened and one day I'm looking, I'm saying to myself, hey man, this is interesting how this goes, that Fidelity buys and then you look in MassMutual buys and then State Street buys and when they're selling, they sell. Now I don't think that they have, they don't even have to call each other. What ends up happening is that you see these filings and once you see these filings that get bottom line, it's like it's game, but what does happen of course is that when this was first, when I first picked it up, everyone basically was going at the Fanuel Hall. Fanuel Hall was a hot place then and the bottom line is that I'm sure most of these traders have known each other in a big way. Let's go take a look at Valley, V-A-L-E. This is all about I-N-O and I-N-O has actually got hit pretty good. Valley right now is down 75 cents, trading $17.95, now the low for the year is $10, the high is 23, this is going after it's swing low. I wouldn't be buying this thing just yet because you can see it's down from the highs of 23. Let me bring up I-N-O and you're gonna see why, that's what's going on here too. The I-N-O contract, you get $7.93 it was at, now it's $7.30, okay, so look at this baby. This is how dramatic I-N-O has come down from $12.62 a ton to $7.30, big, big number. Let me pull this back. In fact, I'll put up the generic one and see where we are, I-N, come on, give me the generic one, active contract, okay. I-O-E, let's see if I can get it this way. I-O-E, there it is, I got it, I-O-E one. Okay, so the generic contract's at $8.21, but we're gonna pull this up so we can see where we are in the context of where it's been. You're gonna see a lot of gaps, don't pay attention to these gaps on this folks because what happens, I-N-O is not a liquid contract anyway, it's not even close. Okay, so I-N-O hit a high of $14.23 in July. We're at $8.21, the lower end of this is $6.03, so $6.03 is game. We were at $6.03 in 2019 and I'll put this on a 10-year monthly. Yeah, I'd let it come down to that level, man. So you wanna pay attention to where I-N-O is and because you're strictly talking a pure commodity. There's no two ways about that. That's all these commodity stocks folks are predicated on what the price of the commodity is and where it's going. We're gonna take a look at GFI. Now if you own GFI, GFI is going ex-dividend tomorrow. So it's 11 cents per share. Bottom line is that if you own it right now I just keep it, man. You're gonna get 11 cents per share. It's not a bad dividend either. So we go ex-dividend tomorrow, one is a pain, I think, let's see. So, okay, so let's see. Well, I know it goes ex-dividend tomorrow. I'll find out when it's paying out. Yeah, it goes ex-dividend tomorrow, shareholders of record September 10th. So you have to own it till September 10th. That's the real bottom line to get the dividend. So depending on where you're at with that, I'd basically hold it for the dividend myself. Amazon, let's go take a look at Amazon. Amazon's been making its way up to that gap. It's not there quite yet. The gap is 35.80. You're at 35.45. It's gonna need a little more juice getting up here but the bottom line is that it's certainly made a run. It looks to me like when we do take a look at Amazon Amazon looks to me that it's still in a consolidation. The top, this has been consolidated now since August of 2020. The top of the consolidation actually has high volume high. So at that price point of 37.73, that's gonna get retested, man. I mean, that's pretty intense actually when you're taking a look at it. That's how it's set up. And the bottom of that consolidation is 28.71. So you get a $700 consolidation now. It's interesting about Amazon there. That's a 20% move, right? But it's still just a consolidation. Apple, Apple went top side yesterday. Apple's gonna do their dog and pony show next week. It is a virtual dog and pony sale. I mean, set up next week but I suspect whatever they're gonna come out and say, Apple looks like it still wants higher price. That's the real bottom line. When you do take a look at Apple also, Apple has a PE of only 27, a trailing PE of five. It's not a bad setup, man. Now, what hasn't happened is that the aspect of growth, Apple is still making big dollars but they're not growing that much. They're growing by approximately 2.5% in the United States. They're growing about 2.5% in Europe, 2.5% everywhere. In China, they're basically contracting by 1%. Stay right there, folks. Come right back.

They have a great rental program in Florida and they just completed a $1.4 million deal for a new studio and beautiful St. Pete. Christian, welcome to TFNN. Hey, how are you today? I'm doing great, man, yourself? Doing great, doing good here, thanks. So tell us a little bit about Lightwave Media. Sure, well yeah, I started the company about 15 years ago here in St. Pete and we do film and video production. We've produced a few different feature films in the area, some TV shows and we just upgraded our studio to a larger space, we're in about 11,000 square feet now. Nice. That we just moved into, yeah, so we're pretty excited. Now, when I'm on your site and the site folks is Lightwave Media, Lightwavemedia.com. And it's pretty cool that you have this big rental program. Talk to me about this rental program. So what kind of action is on the rental program? Sure, so when we do both equipment rentals like cameras, lenses, lighting, and then we also rent our studio out. So if you're looking for, say, a green screen to produce a commercial in, a white cyclorama, infinity wall, that type of thing, we also have custom sets. So sometimes people come in and say, hey, I wanna have a spaceship or I wanna have an office or a living room set. So we can kind of create whatever the person's or company's vision is right here in the studio. What is a white cyclone, whatever you do? Cause I was on there, I was looking at that. What is that, man? Yeah, sure. So a white cyclone, I don't know if you remember those Mac versus PC commercials they had back in maybe the early 2000s, they brought those on like a white cyclorama. So it basically looks like infinity. It just looks like a big white space. It's pretty popular with corporate commercials and corporate videos. I was looking at it, it looks pretty cool. And your studio is big enough, I saw that they can bring trucks in, cars in, you can do that whole bit, right? Yeah, bring your Mercedes down here and we'll get you taken care of. Tell me what the market's like. Like when you go out, I'm sure you know, when you're, we're in the advertising business, you gotta go out and sell, right? So tell us what the market's like. Tell us how you get business. Sure, well we do get a lot of our business through referrals as well as through our website. I'm on Google. Basically people that also are flying into the area say there's a producer coming from LA and he's looking for a local video guy or camera guy or maybe- Oh cool, I get it, right. Yeah, they'll call us up and say, hey can we shoot in your studio? We've got a client looking at film there down in Tampa. That's kind of how we'll get a lot of our business and then we have local clients as well that we work in. That's nice man. And I'm sure you've been business long enough that you've seen the growth in the whole state peak tamper area. I mean, everybody when I was first starting out wanted to go to LA and I said, let me try Florida out first and we just, we came here and there wasn't a lot of people doing what we're doing here back then. Now there's some more competition but it was a great place to kind of grow and now we're seeing a lot of people come here like the tech companies are coming here from California now. So there's a good amount of business in this area. I think it's a great place to be for a business like ours. There's no doubt. You know what's pretty cool man? Is that people are getting more used to, I mean, you can do quite a bit with your phone and you know, in one way you can say that oh, you wouldn't get as much business but you really get probably more business because now people realize there's a huge difference between what you can do on a phone and then something like calling lightweight media up like, okay, man, here. You know, I understand the phones are great but guess what? You really want something going, man. Well, here's some cameras and here's some lighting we can help you out with. Yeah, we love it when clients kind of dip their toes in. Maybe they shoot something on their iPhone and they say, hey, this is my idea but I want to take it to the next level or how can I make this look more cinematic or how can we bring Hollywood here to St. Peter's, Tampa Bay and that's what we try to help our clients do is create cinematic and high-end videos right here without having to go to New York or LA. And you know, our new studio will have similar technology to what they're using in Hollywood like in Disney's Mandalorian. It's like a Star Wars show and if you've seen that big baby Yoda and all that. They shoot it on a big LED screen. So when you're looking at that footage instead of it being a green screen like it used to be in the old days, now they'll just project that footage right up on the screen behind the actor so they can see, oh, I'm on a distant planet now or I'm in the desert. You know, you can kind of project anything behind you in real time now. And we'll be having that new technology in our new studio and we're really excited about that. Oh, you gotta be, man. That's really cool, man. I didn't know that they did that. It's really amazing, you know, what technology has done to this business. You know, I remember the first time that when we bought one of the boxes to just, you know, go out to the studios whether we're running two or three, you know, programs at the same time, it was like a fortune. And then now they're down to like $10,000. I mean, I know that's not, you know, it's a lot less, trust me folks, okay? These machines are a lot more expensive when we started. Oh yeah, I mean, what you used to have to spend back in the day to get into the business was just crazy now and now you can do, like you said, on your phone, you can create pretty darn good videos. So it's a pretty exciting time to be in this business but you kind of gotta evolve and make sure you don't get left behind with the technology sometimes. And that's where, you know, running a business, right? The bottom line is that you get ahead then all of a sudden, like you just said, I'm sure that new technology you bought, like okay, you have to bite the bullet but you gotta do it for the future, right? Exactly, you gotta get in there and we're trying to stay above the curve a little bit and have one of those new LED walls. It's called LED volume here. So that people come in and shoot anywhere that you can basically make it look like you're anywhere in the world, but you can be right here in our studio. But yeah, definitely staying ahead of that is a big part of trying to be successful and not, you know, get left behind. So. And where did you come from when you came down here? I'm actually from New Jersey originally and Boston. Oh, Boston, here you go. I'm from South Boston. Oh yeah, turn off street, Boston. That's where I came in. I love it. That's a beautiful thing. I'll tell you folks, okay, you know that I'm prejudiced this place, but guess what? If you have a bad day down here with these blue skies, it's something else. That's the real bottom line. You know, I was just reading that you got Brady and his wife, Garzell, they're doing a big ad, a $20 million ad now a new crypto, well, it's not a new crypto exchange, but we gotta get you to pick up a few of those accounts. That would be, that's the account I'd like to have for sure. Yeah, that sounds great. We've had some pretty cool projects this past year, but that sounds like a winner. Yeah, no, there's no doubt. Well, listen, this has been a pleasure. You know, I wish you the best. And I love the idea in folks, the bottom line, whether you want some production done, okay, it's lightwavemedia.com. You know, if you want to do it yourself, I'm looking, I mean, he has an amazing amount of cameras, lighting, you know, cinema lens packages, you know, electric, audio, the photo lenses, the whole ball of wax, and of course, he has the studio, give him a buzz, man, give him a buzz, you can come on into the studio, you can get basically your brand going, because the bottom line is that, you know, between all these social medias now, I mean, branding is so important, it's incredible. Oh, absolutely, couldn't agree with you more. Yeah, we've had some really cool clients like ACDC in here this year, which was a big surprise for us, but also really just like one of those surreal experiences. So we like to work with big clients like that all the way down to the locals, so absolutely. Well, listen, Christian, this has been awesome. Appreciate the education. We look forward to having you on again. Thank you, thanks so much. Thanks so much, man. Have a great one, have a safe one. Stay right there, folks, we'll come right back.

Welcome back, folks. Let's go to Dave and Boston. Hey, Dave, what's going on, brother? Hey, Tom, how are you? I'm doing great, man, yourself? Plugging along here, but thank you. That's a beautiful thing. So Charles River, right? Yes. C-R-L. Now, do you work there? I remember, you've had this for a long time, right? Yes, I have. I know. How cool is that, man? I mean, this is a rocket ship. You go back to the pandemic, it was $95 and you're 445, man. Yeah, so I have some options that expire, stock options that expire into February and I wondered, should I peel them off or just let them ride a little bit more? Okay, so remember, the last time I heard from you, you're doing the same thing, man. I love it. Okay, so let me think this through for a second. When you say peel them off. So if you exercise them right now, right? Right. And then you get to exercise them. And then the question is, if you exercise them now or you wait till February, right? Pretty much yes. So if you exercise them, are you gonna sell them too? Yes, I have to sell them. And if I don't sell them, then they expire and become worthless. I'd exercise them. I'd exercise them. Yeah. Okay. Take your money, pay the 30%, who cares? You're warning 30%, you've rolled them so long. But yeah, I'd pay the tax on it because this is quite a run, man. I mean, there's no doubt. And it's not like you've got, let me just look at this for a second. So you got, well, they're still growing by leaps and bounds, man. Man, that's amazing what your company's doing, man. Look at this. So you're still growing by 6% a year in the U.S. and you're growing 412, 4.5% in the world. Yeah. Still good numbers. That's the real bottom line. But you know what? Bottom line is it peeling off some of them, taking the cash, man? There's nothing like it, right? Yeah. Exactly. I mean, do you think this is more upside? Or what do you think? When you look at that, it looks to me like when this turns, it's gonna be quite a correction because, yeah. Because if we take a look at it, the last time that you had any type of volume, my God, you're talking a lot lower. Have a great one. Have a safe one. Thanks, folks. Have a great one. Come back tomorrow morning, 9 o'clock.
