 The Tiger, financial news network. News update. OK, folks, Larry Passemento with the mid-afternoon update here for TFNN. We've got the stock market down, with the exception of the NASDAQ, which is up substantially, but the Dow's down about 150. NASDAQ, our S&P's down about 15, and the Russell's down about 12 or 15. Now, we've had several people ask the question about what time frame do you trade with, and why do you pick that particular time frame? Well, I'm just trying to give you an update of what's happening to the markets today, and I'll cover that when we get back for the next show. But these markets are read across the board, folks. The only three that are up are the NASDAQ, the natural gas, which we believe is still going to go higher. We've been bullish that for a while. And then also, live hogs have been going up quite a bit after making a really substantial bottom here just a few days ago. But other than that, everything is red right now, but that doesn't mean that it can't turn green. That can happen very, very easily and in a moment, like they would probably get the debt ceiling fixed, whatever that's gonna be. But I will say this, knowing how they worked in the past, they'll do it at the very last minute. It'll be a miraculous, and they'll all come out with kissy face, huggy bear to each other, saying what a wonderful group they are and stuff. And it's the same old, same old. And I don't understand why the people put up with it, but it's the same thing in every country. So I guess you can't complain and guess what? I'm off my soapbox. I'm not gonna say another word about it at all. The one chart that I think we should really pay attention to, and that is this credit default swap pricing that's going on. In other words, some people are taking protection that the US Treasury is going to default on their bonds. I mean, look at that, folks. You talk about the Tula Balmainia from 1649. This would be it. I mean, that is an incredible, that even makes Bitcoin bearish. So it's just really scary who's doing it. I don't know how to trade the other side of it, or I'd probably take the other side of this trade because first of all, it's a little bit overbought. And the second thing is is we haven't gone bankrupt or haven't defaulted on Treasury bonds in many, many, way over 100 years. And in 116 years, they've changed the debt ceiling 96 times. We'll be right back. Billy Ray Valentine, Capricorn, 877. The reality is that navigating
