But really, the reason I'm calling it is to express my sincerest gratitude for you for providing that information yesterday on the small business grants. I'm a small business owner, primary bread winner for my family. And if I can get that money, it's going to really mean a lot to my family. So thank you for taking the time to do that. No, listen, man, we appreciate you growling and prowling with us now. Tom O'Brien. Welcome, folks. This is Tom O'Brien of TFNN. We got five days a week. We go seven hours a day. We go 24 hours a day on the internet at TFNN.com. Always remember, folks, whatever you think about, you bring about whatever you focus on grows. Hope everyone's having a great day, safe day.

When you become wise, you respect your body, you respect your mind, and you respect your soul. When you become wise, your life is controlled by your heart, not your head. Make it wise! Let's take a look at it out here. We have the Dow Industries up six. NASDAQ is up 95. S&P is up 12. Gold contract at $33.50, trading $17.92 an ounce. You got Silver up 56 cents, $23.07 an ounce. Light Sweet Crude, flat, $80.48, a barrel, notes, and bonds. The 10-year-up one ticks, trading $13106, the 30-year-up a full point, at $159.18, $437 ticks, trading out at $9407, Euro 115. The yen is out here at $113.34, and the British pound is at $136 to $1 at U.S. Dollar. iPhone number's 877. 9276648, give us a call, folks. Want to know what's going on in your world, and the world of the S&Ps, let's take a look at them. What do you have out here? Well, you get a sideways market, you have no juice in the market. Bottom line, we're up 125 in the spy. That's just drifting lower, that's the real bottom line. My take here is that you're gonna continue to drift lower. I expect we're gonna get a little bit lower as we come into the close, nothing heavy, but I don't expect we're gonna be, also, the spy's up 137 right now. I suspect it's gonna be back down, back down. Okay, so let me just go look at this baby and see how it's set up right now. Okay, so you got a little spike, and we'll see whether it's gonna, yeah, that could, well, that could test a high intraday. That's, because you get the spike high when the fed minutes come out. We'll see how that baby shakes out, but my take is that you still have a very weak market, you're in a correction, and it's drifting. That's the bottom line. The cues, the cues are up $2.59 straight into $3.59. 75, and what's amazing, and this is, this is, this is amazing. Apple, folks, okay? Apple is gonna be shot 10 million phones, and the bottom line is that the stock's only down 90 cents. You trade 60 million shares. I wouldn't be buying Apple here. You know, my take is that Apple wants to go lower, but, you know, even when this come across the small, and I say, you know what, the deviants in this is gonna be that Apple's not gonna sell all the way down, and it didn't. And, you know, that being said, bottom line is that once you go back inside 145, that's saying that Apple can get down into this 116 area. So we'll see how this baby shakes out. But I suspect we're building cars for lower price. Gold, gold contract, you know, we were talking about gold. Gold was a complex ABC structure in the way up. You had $17.95 was your price projection. We hit $17.97. We'll go over this baby, and you'll see how these babies shake out. So what you had is this, is that what we had done last Friday is that you got over the high of the B point. You had the volume behind the move, the volume there was 240,000 contracts. You had taken out the B point, which had 160,000 contracts, but yet you totally gave it up on price. When you do that, they turn into complex ABC structures. In this particular case we had, well, it worked out right, okay? You pull back on Monday with 115,000 contracts. Yesterday you stopped moving higher again with 160. Today it just blew everything away. 285,000 contracts. Now what we have now is this. So the gold contract now, you know, might take anyway, if you have the gold reports that we were going to 1839, the top of that consolidation. Bottom line, you're breaking it now, which is a beautiful thing. It's about time we did it, but this is another break with conviction. That saying that the gold market now is making its way up until the 1922 area, which was the high of June of 2021. We got to take a look at the silver market out here we'd have with the silver market. That finally caught a bid. That's up 55 cents out here. And silver needs a lot more work. That's the real bottom line. Same setup though. This is a complex ABC structure up. Silver did the exact same thing. And, you know, silver had got up to the price point of 2322, gave it up, gave it up on price. Did 69,000 contracts. You needed more than 35 bottom line. We have another 67,000 contracts out here. The ABC structure on silver folks is 2395, but I expect we're going to see this get up to that 2494 area. What you do have with a lot of these gold equities and silver equities, you got an ABC structures on the way up. We will find out, I expect we're going to have an ABC structure also inside of the XAU as well as the HUI. I won't get these volumes until tonight at eight o'clock, but you can see we needed volume more than 22 million shares taking out the B point of the XAU, which is 126.63. Well, yesterday we had 26 million and was going into 22. We'll get a lot more volume today. So this is an ABC structure on the way up in the XAU. Your B point out here is like, I'm just going to ballpark. Well, 126.63 and 116. So it's a 10.80 which gets you a 132 and right now you're at 129. We go look at the gold bugs index. We take a look at the gold bugs index. What we have with the gold bugs index is that that's up $8.84. You're trading out here at 253, volumize out here. Yesterday we did 17 million. The B point has 17. We're going to get more than that today. So more than like this is going to be an ABC up all. So 246. Well, this is a nice one. You get 36. You get 42. That'll give you 40, about 282. There are 253. Swing point is 281. That's where we're going, man. You're going to the swing point up here. Good old King dollar. Let's go, well actually, let's go look at the note and bond market. So you look at the note and bond market. We take a look at the 10-year first. You're going to see the 10-year has done 2.1 million contracts. Now that's really good contract volume. It needed to basically get off these lows. You have the, I believe, what also happened is that, let's see if we get, here it is. Check this out, folks. This is heavy. So primary deals were awarded a record low share of Wednesday's 24 billion and 30-year bond sales for the second straight month. The group of 24 firms was awarded 12.3 of the auction. Ellipson, September's 13.1. Now, what this means, folks, again, is this. These are the primary dealers which normally get a bulk of the 30-year bond. But you know what's going on? When you get Treasury Direct, there's plenty of other people that are buying bonds. Notes and bonds, folks, are still out here. They still want higher price, lower yield. Stay right there, folks.

Welcome back, folks, down. Down investors right now have six. You get the NASDAQ up 90, S&Ps up 11 and a half. We had the Fed minutes come out, folks, from the September 21st, 22nd Federal Reserve meeting and inside of those meetings, the bottom line is that they basically noted that the minutes make clear that the Fed will announce tapering at its next meeting, which is November 7th, 2020. At its next meeting, which is November 2nd and 3rd, the bottom line is that they're going to be looking for, I believe it's $15 billion out here. Officials discussed a tapering path. The path featured month reductions in the pace of asset purchases by $10 billion in the case of treasuries and $5 billion in the case of agency-backed, mortgage-backed security. So it's going to be $15 billion. They'll reduce when they start this baby off. When I just went through the 30-year bond, you can see that there are, so picture this, on the 30-year bond today in the auction, folks, okay? Only 12% of the 24 dealers got the 30-year bond. That means that there's that many other players in the marketplace, and these would be trust funds, hedge funds, big companies, okay? That bottom line bought the bonds, which, let me tell you something, man, that's unusual, okay? The bottom line is it broke last month that these notes and bonds, the amount of demand versus the amount of supply is huge. And I know each one of us can say, that doesn't make any sense, okay? Because the bottom line is that you're not getting a lot of money from, well, it totally makes sense when you have liabilities that are stretched out for 30 years. That's what it comes down to, folks, and that's how many of these bonds basically get sold because the bottom line is that then you have your balance sheet is straight, you know that you're gonna get your money back and you're gonna make your bottom line to your, you know, 3%. Let's see what's going on right now. So right now, let me put it up on this one, actually, so you can see this. Okay, so we'll get into the 30-year, yeah, you're gonna get your 2%. My God. Imagine giving someone money for 30 years for 2%, but bottom line is that that's how that shakes out, meaning that you have a liability on one side of the sheet and the asset on the other. And in this particular case, they're lining up the assets in the bond market. One of the tie you just sent this over, this is pretty cool, folks, okay? Thanks, Mr. G. And what it is, is that the Kelly Blue Book, year over year, paid for a new vehicle is up 12.1%. We at Inflation folks is out here in spades. I mean beyond belief. And the acceleration has already happened. And what I mean by that is this, is that we've been going along forever at the same pace, right? My take is that we've already gone up like 20, 25% on a lot of stuff. And yeah, maybe it was straight now that, you know, we need to take everything into consideration, four, five, 6%, which is a monster, by the way, okay? But the bottom line, we're not going back down. It's not just, I don't see it in the cards. I just don't see it in the cards at all. And this is a worldwide phenomena. This is not a United States phenomena. It's a worldwide phenomena, okay? Which basically sets up higher prices across the world and will be at a higher level. That's kind of how the whole thing shakes out. J.P. Morgan came out with the numbers today and the numbers look good on the top, but the bottom line is that what that was all about was the aspect that they basically took, numbers out of the reserves that they had and they actually came in. If you take that number out and you take the, let's say, okay, deal. So it says J.P. Morgan deal makers posted their best quarter yet. Fees from advising on deals almost tripled in the quarter, crushing analysts estimates and helping to push the firm's net income to 11.7 billion. The bottom line is that they're selling the stock off. You're down $4.25. You're down with volume, by the way. And we take a look at this and put this on a weekly basis. What you're gonna see now is this. And this is where it's crucially really understand with volume off the high. Well, last time that J.P. Morgan came down on the 11th and 12th through June, you had volume off the high. Volume off the high is always problematic. What we had done is that we went back up, we tested those highs with tremendously lighter volume in the weekly. You're gonna have volume off the high once again. J.P. Morgan's on its way down at 145 and right now you're at 161. What's gonna get intriguing is Morgan Stanley is coming out with numbers tomorrow morning. I don't think they're gonna be any better. Their banks are different, but the bottom line folks is that J.P. Morgan's selling off four bucks, guess what, man. Morgan Stanley, right now from three weeks ago, you got a high volume low at 96. That's hanging out there. Let's put this on a three-year weekly and just see what we have. So you get a high with, look at this. The high was generated with 33 million. You come off that high with 45 million and 54. This thing's going lower, man. They're going lower. And Morgan Stanley's case, 81 is game and right now you're at 98. So I suspect that what you're gonna see here is that you're gonna get more blowback on the lower end. Some of the higher volume equities out here today. Apple's up there. That's down 90 cents. You got Advanced Micro is up 370. You got AMC up 71. Company's still losing money, hand over fist and straight into $37. You're gonna love these times. American Airlines off 60 cents. You got Affirm Holdings up $5. That's, Affirm's not been on a run. That's one of the years you'll buy now, pay later. And I believe someone's buying them, I think. I think that's how it is. So Affirm Holdings, just pull this up. Well, maybe not. Anyway, they fundamentally, let's see what they do. Fundamentally, they lose money, man. These companies are a trip. Okay, so they plan on taking the 250 million in this quarter and losing 40 cents. Unreal. Oh, man. You're a public company. You lose money, and yet they bid you up, man. You gotta love just the whole aspect of how it works, man. I mean, because it's absolutely amazing. There's no doubt about it. Now, let's go take a look at Anico Eagle for a lot of our tigers, because a lot of them own Anico Eagle as well as Kirkland Lake, because Anico Eagle's buying Kirkland Lake, and you're all gonna be happy out here today too, because the bottom line is that now, 8 a.m. is an ABC structure on the way up. Your B point on this is 55, 28. Your A point is 49, 20, so you get a nice one. You get six points, which is gonna bring you up to the $60 price point. Right now, you're 56, 97. And as that goes higher, you're gonna see Kirkland Lake continue to go higher, because Kirkland Lake, this equity in the last two weeks just went from $39 to $45. This will continue higher because the ratio, I believe, is 0.7 of 8 a.m. equals Kirkland Lake. That's what they're paying for it. As 8 a.m. continues higher, that's what you're gonna get. We look at the GDX. We take a look at the GDX out here. GDX finally got an ABC up. There you go. Taking the B point out with volume today. The B point's 31, 56. Your A's 28, so you get, this is 28 or 26. 28. Okay, so you got bottom line 28, 83. Okay, so you got about two and a half bucks, which is gonna get you about 33. Right now, you're at 32, 13. Stay right there, folks, coming right back. Our phone number's 877-927-6648. Dow, Dow Industries right now, down to 18, NASDAQ is up 84, S&P's up eight and a half, we'll come right back.

Let's go and take a look at this copper contract. We got some good action on here. So, copper's up 17 pennies and folks, that is like a monster mover and beyond belief. You got 102,000 contracts. This is good. You're blowing away your swing. Your swing had 85,000 contracts. That sets up. So the top there is 447. The bottom is nice. You get 50 cents. That's saying five bucks is coming at us. Okay, so now let me put this on HG1. HG1 folks is a continuous contract because I wanna see where five bucks was the last time that we were up here. So I'll put this on about a 15 year monthly. Look at that, man. That means we're gonna break highs. Okay, this is gonna be cool. Let's bring this back even further. Okay, so I'm bringing it back 30 years right now. This is an indication of where we are in the pricing model. Yeah, this thing, okay. So the all time high is 489.85. That's gonna be in a continuous contract. So what happens is that these contracts expire over three months, folks. Bottom line, this ABC structure brings you to five bucks. We're going higher, man. I mean, you already get my gist on it. To me, everything's going higher. That's how this thing is shaking up. What we don't know yet, and this is what's gonna be kind of cool actually, is understanding the move that we had in the marketplace. Okay, it was the marketplace, the first place that prices got bit up higher because of inflation. Because you get two different things that end up happening here. Now this is where it's gonna be really cool. This is what's gonna be really cool in the context of how we all kind of move through this market. And what it is is this, is that inflation in general basically destroys wealth. That's the first part. Second part goes like this, is that equity-wise, what you have is that at the beginning, it very well could have pushed these prices up. It had pulled them back a little, but everything is gonna have higher price, including the market. That's how this works. It's surprising that we still, we got a good bid on gold today, and I think gold's going higher, but we still haven't got the type of juice that if the market is looking at inflation, that we would get in gold. And I don't buy the whole deal that, people are buying Bitcoin and they'd be buying gold. I think it's a whole different marketplace, and that's just my take on it. Once this thing gets going, if we see gold going up 34, 40, 50 bucks a day, you'll get a following and you'll get a following pretty quick. Oil, let's go into the oil market and take a look at oil because oil, no doubt, has already gone. Oil looks to me like it's gonna go to 100 bucks. Right now, we're trading at 80. Last, we get 440,000 contracts. This has been a one-way move also, man. I mean, these one-way moves, when we end up getting a retracement in some of these commodities, yeah, I have the charts in the den. I'm not quite sure what's going on with the den. I'm sorry about this, folks. I got them in, and we've been having problems with the tiger's den, there's no doubt. Bottom line, inside of the oil market, this is an ABC structure on the way up, too. And the 70, 79, that's 70, that's 10 bucks. That gets you to 84. Yeah, we'll see whether, you know, we'll make it to 100, but that's the way this seems to be shaking out right now. That's what I'm looking at. We're gonna take, let's go take a look at a couple of the big dogs out there. We'll start with Amazon, Amazon right now trading up 37. And Amazon's a great one, folks, to keep your eye on because it doesn't look to me like Amazon's done consolidating yet. You know, the bottom line is that this has a high volume low at the 27, 71, 28, 71. And I think it's gonna basically test that. And what normally happens is this, is that that'll be weakness inside the marketplace that as that comes down, you know, you're coming into the season where, of course, you get Christmas happening. It's a big season for all these retailers. That being said, all these retailers are also going to basically have expenses that are huge. And the expenses, of course, are gonna be transportation. You know, you start reading the stories now that you have many of these companies, they're hiring their own chips and they're smaller ships. These smaller ships carry 1,000 containers, folks. And what happens with 1,000 containers is that these containers can go to smaller ports. That's what ends up happening. That being said, I expect the next stories that we're gonna start hearing is that Costco's of the world, the Amazons, the Walmots. Okay, Walmots has been hiring their own chips for a long time. I believe that the ship captains went on strike, or the stevedores went on strike in 2012. And when they went on strike in 2012, that's when Walmots decided to start getting into leasing some of their own chips. So they've been doing it for a long period of time. That being said, what I expect we'll see next is this. So picture, if you're a Costco or you're, you know, the bottom line is that you jump on the phone, you're gonna call up a couple of your competitors, or someone else that's in the business says, hey, man, you wanna split a ship, you wanna get another, you know, that we're gonna see that starting to happen. That's the real bottom line. And the bottlenecks are everywhere. The bottlenecks coming into China, coming out of China, coming into our own ports, going out of our own ports, and this has to do with help, once again, folks. So the bottom line, you know, truckers, they need so many truckers, it's unbelievable. And this is what ends up happening. So check this out in the trucking business. So this is pretty heavy. Even though POT is legal in a lot of states, what does happen is that if many of these trucking companies, if you smoke POT, the bottom line is that you can't get a big job. Well, they got a problem with that, man. That's the bottom line, because so many people who smoke in POT, that they have to work for different trucking companies. And, you know, we'll see if that ends up changing. Right now, that's kind of how it shakes out. So, you know, this whole help situation is something else. Let's go take a look at Royal Gold. Royal Gold, as well as Franklin, Nevada. Bottom line, have had a hard time coming off the lows. I don't like what's happening with Royal right now. It's up 77 cents, but, you know, this didn't even hold price out here today. $98.30, bottom line, we are at 96.57 right now. Franco-Nevada, FNV. Now, Franco-Nevada is stronger than Royal. Okay, that's good. Franco-Nevada caught a bid up about 95. Not an ABC up, though, but close. Let's see, 20 minutes left. No, I'm not gonna be able to do it at 20 minutes left. Bottom line is that you need 687,000 contracts, and right now, it's not even close to that. Stay right there, folks. Our next guest, it's gonna be pretty cool, man. Our next guest is George Siegel, though he has just come out with a documentary. He's winning a huge amount of awards also. The documentary is called The Last House Standing, and we are gonna be talking about, he explores the tragedies in many of the, in our countries, as they contend with national disasters and the structural integrity of houses along the coast.

George is a former weatherman and a reporter turned filmmaker known for his documentary of The Last House Standing. Oh, man, I'm telling you. The Last House Standing explores the tragedies many in our country contend within the face of natural disasters with regard to flooding, structural integrity, and questions, and he questions why better construction practices aren't employed to prevent such destruction from occurring. George is won many awards, including the Miami Film Independent Film Festival, the website, folks, of which I have up, is TheLastHouseStanding.org. George, welcome to TFNN. Hey, thanks for having me on. I appreciate it. This is a subject that all of us, whether they were in Florida, whether in Massachusetts, whether in California, or whether, I guess, The Last Storm, George, in the bottom line comes up in Florida and basically you think Louisiana's gonna get killed and New Jersey and New York get killed, right? Yeah, and unfortunately what they saw there is people in the Northeast watch the storm and they go, ah, the Gulf Coast is getting pounded again and then it ends up in their backyard and a lot of the areas that flooded up there never have flooded before. I mean, it was historical flooding so most people didn't have flood insurance so it's even worse than people around here that most of us have to have it, so it's scary. It certainly was. That last one was something else. So this is really cool, man. First, tell me, how did you get involved in this? How did you get to this point? Well, when I was in the news business, I used to have to cover these stories, either forecasting them as a weather forecaster, or going out as a reporter, going out to the scene after a disaster and meeting people that had lost everything in floods or in tornadoes and I just thought it was so sad when I got out into the real world away from TV news, I wanted to make a film about it. And when Hurricane Michael happened in 2018, that became the centerpiece for the film because that truly was in that area, the last house standing, and it's a metaphor for what you really wanna strive for is having a house that actually has a chance to survive a disaster. If you notice, most of the houses around our area, if they're built to code, that's not gonna withstand a category four or five hurricane. It's just gonna maybe meet the code in your area but it's not enough. It's not, and with George is talking about folks and I think many of us, okay, is that that last house standing, I remember that picture so well, George, okay, that is just the one we're talking about where the two guys had built the house that to withstand like 200 miles an hour, I think, right? And it was the only house standing? Yeah, I mean, they were smart guys and they knew that, okay, let's not build to code, let's build to survive the worst thing that could happen here. Yes. And they got hit by the worst thing that could happen there and they survived. The people that had the older homes or the homes that were at lower elevation that didn't go as far into the sand as his house, those houses didn't make it. Right. So what type, and I understand you're doing this so people can get educated and bottom line, everyone wants a house and wants a good house, right? So what, we know that people build with stick, that people build with block, what do you think can be done in order to basically be the last house standing, that you and me and the audience will have that house? Well, a lot more than is being done right now because we still see a lot of houses going up that might have block on the first floor, wood on the second floor. Yes. And in Tampa, in St. Pete, through Pinellas County, all those areas, those, there's a lot of older homes that aren't built to withstand anything that would be a major disaster. Right. So you really have to understand what the risk is, specifically to where you are and what you wanna do to address it. Unfortunately, I don't think many people take it seriously. Most of us think it's not gonna happen to us. You know, and if it does, we'll be fine. And that's the whole point of the last house standing film is you meet so many people that lost everything from various disasters and nobody really calculates that cost of what it's cost right after the disaster to get food and get your house fixed. Maybe you have to relocate, maybe you lose your job, you have kids, you have to get them around places, you don't have transportation. I mean, there's so many things that you can't even put a price on that you really have to understand the risks. And when I moved to Tampa, the one thing I learned is most people don't understand the risk and most people don't take it that seriously. If they do, they're an outlier but most people don't have generators. Most people don't really know how safe their house is. I would venture to say they know the safety features of their car better than the safety features of their house. And I think that's pretty sad. Yeah, there's no doubt about that. And you know, which I just saying folks, I'm sure this is right across the country, but in our area here, we have a lot of building that's going on. You gotta, I mean, what actually blows my mind and you know, it's interesting, George, I'm a GC. I build a lot of houses and I, and you'd love my houses, man. They're all blocked. They're all blocked. They're, well, they're not to 160 miles an hour, but they're 140, but they are all blocked. I mean, I can show you, I just came from three of them. It just, it was wild having you on because I build a block on the bottom floor and on the top floor and ripping down the, you know, the roofs, the whole, the whole ball of wax. And it blows my mind when you see apartment buildings, there are so many apartment buildings across the country right now that are all stick, okay? Cause the new deal is that you can put sticks together and you know, they, they are some of them are strong steel, but the bottom line is that a good hurricane is going to take them out. So like as to the aspect of each city, what do you think? I mean, I know what we can do. I know what we should do, but the bottom line is it's really hard to turn around and change a code, right? That, you know, that you was saying, okay, forget the sticks, man, because you know what blows my mind, George, and folks, it's not that much more expensive. Like I build a 1923 front house, a 441 back house with two-car garage. It's all blocked. Yeah, maybe a cost me like 25 grand, but people will pay for it. Do you know what I'm saying? That's not, and I show them the difference. I show them pictures of, okay, man, what's under that stucco is either stick or block. Do you know what I'm saying? But I feel that as long as you show them and educate them, people will pay for that. You know what, a lot of builders don't do that. And so you're an exception and you should be rewarded for that in your business, but most builders just build what they think you're gonna buy. Right. And most people, if you told them it was 25 grand more to have concrete on the second floor, they probably would think, no, I wanna go on a boat. I wanna have a trip. I wanna do all these things. And they miscalculate the importance of having those things. And sure, you could build a strong house out of wood. I read the three little pigs, but that doesn't mean that you don't want to be the third pig and have the house that's definitely gonna be around. And most people, just after the fact, it's too late, right? You have one chance to get it right. And we don't know. We don't understand truly what we're living in until there's a disaster. And then everybody looks around, who do I blame? How did this happen? Yeah. Well, we need to demand more. You need to, don't buy a house that's not built well. Don't fall into that and reward a builder who's not doing as good a job. And ultimately, I think the entire Gulf Coast should be building to the standards they do in South Florida, which is to, I believe it's a hundred and 70 miles now. Yeah, it's 160, 170, exactly. It's really cool, folks. Florida has a lot of different things that you might like or not like, but the codes in South Florida are phenomenal. They're awesome. I mean, because they've got hit so much. There's no doubt about it. You know it's really cool that I love you doing. You're really getting people to understand this is the biggest investment in their life. You'd think they would think more about it. But what I've found in life, not because I'm in the financial business too, it blows my mind that people save all their money then they just give it to a financial advisor. It's like, hold it. You just worked it like, and it's almost like that in the housing business. You know what I mean? You work for your house while you shouldn't understand what's in it, right? Well, the way they rate houses, prisons are actually safer than houses. My God. Listen, we gotta have you on again, man. I really appreciate the education. We have a great one, safe one. We look forward to having you on again, George. Thank you, lasthousestanding.org. That's right, lasthousestanding.org, folks. Thanks so much, man. Have a great one, have a safe one.

Welcome back folks to Dow. Dow Industries right now at 32, you get the Nasdaq up 106, S&P zero up 15. And I didn't see a couple of those questions, but I believe there was a question there about what are the best building codes in the country. And I believe what you have is that it's South Florida and California. And the reason it's California is the earthquakes in California and South Florida, of course, what ends up happening is they get pounded. I believe it's 160. We're at 140, meaning, and that's sustained wins, folks. That's not Gus, that's sustained wins. But I believe that's how it goes. We'll see where this shakes out. We didn't have a chance to get into, which no doubt is a big deal, is the amount of homes that get built where things keep flooding over and over again. Because what does happen, this is a crazy stat. What happens is that more people actually get killed in the flooding aspect of it than the wind aspect of it, of all these storms. Because when those floods come in, none of us are used to it. That's the real bottom line. I mean, when I say none of us are used to it, where are we used to it here? Because we're on the water, so you're always watching it. What ends up happening inland because of the way that the flow goes, meaning rivers go, you have a river, you're not thinking that you're gonna get a flash flood. And that's exactly what happened when that last storm came in and went up the coast. And that's what happened in New Jersey and New York. So pretty, pretty wild. There's no doubt about it. Market-wise out here, bottom line, you get a sideways move. You get a sideways move. We're gonna take a look at the spy out here. Spies trading out at a price point of up to $1.39, not much movement. Cues are up $2.35, I believe. We're up $2.63, same setup. You get a sideways move. I expect what you're doing out here is you're building cars for lower price. That's how this baby's set up. Gold, nice bid, silver nice bid. Oil's been going up, no doubt about that. The doll is gonna be interesting to see where they get fall through to the downside. Always remember, folks, the bear can claw your heart out, the bull can run you over, and thank God, there's always another trade. Health happens in prosperity. Have a great night, folks.
