 The following is a presentation of TFNN. The morning market kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Morning everybody, I'm Tommy O'Brien, company live from TFNN, 9.06 a.m. We got about 24 minutes to go until the start of trading and talk about a two-way market, folks. We pick up right where we left off yesterday. We've basically clawed back all of the gains that we had on Wednesday. We trade up to $47.43 in the S&Ps, and just like that, folks, we are 120 points off of the highs we had about 26 hours ago. We're coming right down to the level that we were at, talking about 2 p.m. on Wednesday when the Federal Reserve had their announcement and the press conference that followed. Boy, big day of negative action yesterday after the market's accelerated Wednesday as the market somewhat recalibrated. So the fact that, yes, rates are going up, folks, and growth stocks especially, not liking that. So over to the NASDAQ 100. Man, I was talking about it even during my show yesterday, right? Let's zoom in on just even yesterday's action on the NASDAQ 100. You kick things off at 9.30. I kick off the program at 9 o'clock. Folks at that time, we were 640 points above where we're trading at right now. You're talking about 24 hours ago. And as you can see, the slide actually was pretty accelerated throughout the entire day. I mean, when I get off the air, these are five-minute bars we're looking at. So the close of the 9.55 bar, which is the one we're looking at right now, now things started to accelerate in the last 10 minutes, right? At 9.50, at 9.50 in the morning yesterday, you're trading at 16,278. That's barely a negative day. So things really picked up. Just remarkable where we've been since then. You look at where we are, we're just off the lows we made. No, that's not the action, excuse me. You look at where we are in the NASDAQ 100. You're just off the lows that we made. Lows at 4 a.m., lows at about 8 a.m. Back things up compared to the lows that we had yesterday. You were down to about 15,800. You're about 100 points below that low, actually below right now where we were Wednesday or Tuesday in the NASDAQ 100. The lows of Tuesday, you're talking about right where we are right now. The Dow, off 188 points. So look at the divergence here, right? The Dow does not give it all back. We're a solid 300 plus points above where we were Wednesday and Tuesday. NASDAQ 100 negative below that level and the S&P's just above that level. Taking a look at the Russell, right at Wednesday's action, the Russell man. Talk about some volatility, almost 100 points to the upside, 100 points to the downside, volatility in spades. Bitcoin, really remarkable that Bitcoin's trading with the market at this point. It is an asset class just like the market. It's down to 0.7% today with the market. Accelerates higher Wednesday, trades lower Thursday, continues the lower run on Friday. Crude oil, down a buck 11. Crude, somewhat trading with the market as well. You trade higher Wednesday, a little bit of a divergence on Thursday, but we've pulled back now about $2 from where you were on yesterday's action on crude. Gold though, continuing to run. Check out that one in gold, 1753 on Wednesday. You're up above 1800. You reach 1815 this morning on gold. You're back to 1809 right now. Silver's up 6 cents at 2255. We jumped to notes and bonds. You're talking about higher price and lower yield. How does that make sense? Coming off the Fed meeting, right? Lots going on though, in terms of where the market is. What is happening over there? You jumped to bonds. We're talking about a yield now under 1.4%, taking a look at the weekly on this chart. I got a lot of Fibonacci numbers. I got a lot. I'm going to remove these drawings. Move this one as well. I'm going to back things up even a little bit further to see where this Fibonacci line lines up. Yes. So that is from the COVID lows. No, excuse me, not the COVID lows. That is from October 8th to the COVID highs, low yields, of course, during COVID. We've pulled back about to that 50% line, chopping around a bit. Now putting this back on a daily, you can see quite a pop off of those lows that we had there. I mean, you're back to where we were September 28th on the 10 year. Not what many people expected back then when the talk was that the Fed will be raising rates, yields will be going up. We are back under 1.4% whether that's the Omicron variant, whether that's just potentially some weak growth going up there as we have rates rising, hurting some of the growth prospects for some of the tech stocks out there. Let's jump around to some of those tech stocks. We'll start it off with Amazon. Amazon yesterday trades down, putting it back on a 15 minute. All these stocks had some pretty magnificent moves. Wednesday, you trade up almost 200 bucks. Yesterday, you trained down $100. You're almost back to where we were in the lows yesterday. Amazon Microsoft just has been bananas. The moves this stock has had. Wednesday, you trade from $3.25 to $3.37, and just like that, we give up 15 bucks on the price of Microsoft from where we were yesterday morning. You're going to open down more than $2 to the negative on Microsoft. Some of these tech stocks, man. Watch out, Apple. Right? Apple. Okay? In the last 24 hours, I always talk about it, but it's amazing. Apple in the last 24 hours, so close. So close to $3 trillion, right? It was, I mean, it almost seems like poetic justice somehow that if this market's going to top out, now, poetic justice may be, well, not poetic justice. Maybe just irony that Apple would ring the $3 trillion mark before we finally get a retracement in this market. Didn't quite ring it, but God, about as close as you can get, $182 in change. The $3 trillion mark is $182.86 or $182.84, something like that. Now, Apple, you're talking about giving up $13. Is that right? Well, we'll call it 170. We're trading that right now. We'll call it $12. It's giving up $12 from where we were, even $11 from where we were yesterday. That's $170 billion in market cap, folks. There are not many companies that are worth $200 billion. Apple gives up that type of value. That is the type of value, though, that gets destroyed in people's accounts just like it gets created on the way up. It is real. That is values. They're sitting in people's accounts, whether it's retirement accounts, investment accounts across the board. This morning versus yesterday morning, you're talking about $174 billion less value sitting in an account just in the last 24 hours, just in the stock of Apple. It's just mind-blowing, folks. The numbers are almost incomprehensible to the human mind because they're so large when you talk about a $16.5 billion share base, excuse me, $16.4 billion share base, and you talk about a company, $160 billion, I mean, what is even in that? Billions at $1,000 million, so you got $160,000 million lost. Anyway, those are the gymnastics I do in my head sometimes to try and understand the value. But pay attention to it because, yes, it looks like a slight pullback, but, man, you got a lot of value that got created on the way up. And even just a normal retracement, folks, of a Fibonacci retracement just in the run that Apple has had going back to the last two months, you're still talking about this thing can trade down four or five more bucks and you're only at a 3.82 of the entire move we had just up. You traded from a price point of $138 to $182. You're talking about $44. You're talking about a 30% rise in the biggest company in the world over that time. We better believe pullbacks are possible, folks, and we may be seeing one right now as we come into a Fed tightening cycle. It doesn't mean that the market won't be okay, folks, but volatility for potentially the next six months, years, something like that, it is very possible that we get a consolidation with the two-way market. You're seeing that today. I came on yesterday, I was talking to our man, Kevin Hakes. We talked to him Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, so unfortunately we don't get a chance to talk to him today. We'll talk to him next Tuesday, but I was saying, man, I was wrong, Kevin. I said I did not imagine that this market had 140-point acceleration to the upside in it coming off of a Fed, meaning that they would be hiking. And I was wrong, because it wasn't a quick move. It was a two-day move. I don't know why it took two days to figure it out, but it did, folks. Negative action. We'll be right back. Stay tuned.

We've got options, expiration going on, coming into Friday, coming into the last full week of trading before Christmas, closed next Friday for December 24th, Christmas Eve, in order of Saturday, Christmas Day. When you come into New Year's, no market holiday actually for New Year's. I think that's the way it unfolds only on when New Year's Day falls on a Saturday. So we'll be open, I think, a full market on Friday. We'll see how that goes, Christmas, excuse me, New Year's Eve. Not a lot of action in the market beyond the fact that a lot of things do get done for tax purposes, as that's probably why the market decides to keep things open on Christmas Eve, where a lot of that does matter. People getting in trades for tax purposes on the final day. All right, it's going to be an interesting open, folks. We've got 11 minutes jumping over to the VIX right now. Talk about catching a bid. We're almost right back up to the highs we had on Tuesday and Wednesday. Now, with this type of action over the last couple of days, does it make sense that we stop at these lows? You're talking about S&Ps. You're within about 25 points of those lows, made it below 4,600 on Tuesday, just above that level, excuse me. On Wednesday, you're trading at 4,627, but man, this thing has not found a bid since the open of trading yesterday when things started accelerating on downward action. Excuse me. Let's jump around to some of the forex markets as we wait for that market, because man, we've had some moves. And that's been some of the action in a big way. I mean, you check out, let's just jump around. The Australian dollar, you're up to 72 cents. You're back to 71 right now. The euro with some volatility Wednesday into Thursday. What's so interesting here is that you had the ECB, the Bank of England, and the RFED coming out between Tuesday, excuse me, Wednesday and Thursday. We were on Wednesday, Bank of England, and the ECB was on Thursday. Pound US dollar spikes to 133.73, just like that. We've almost given up a full basis point to 132.91 on the pound. Let's check out the yen. That's what I wanted to get to. Yen gives it back from 114.25, taking a look at it on the daily. A little bit of a pullback, but man, nothing too dramatic considering the run we've had since September up to 115.51. That's part of the reason though, you're seeing acceleration in gold in that contract. You pull up the gold contract, gold catching a spike as you've seen that action, gold up to 1807. All right, let me set this back to the markets before we jump around. So we'll kick things off with Omicron. I was talking to my dad earlier this morning, he had mentioned this, talking about cases spiking. It is interesting that you have the acceleration in Europe. Now you're seeing the acceleration here in the US. Promising news though out of South Africa that hospitalization rate plunges in Omicron wave. Cases remain high compared with the previous COVID waves. Infections may have peaked in the epicenter already. And you're getting some positive news out of that variant reporting a much lower rate of hospital admissions and signs that the wave of infections may be peaking. Only 1.7% of identified cases were admitted to the hospital in the second week of infections compared with 19% in the same week of the third Delta-driven wave. Quite a discrepancy there. Hopefully this is the case that it's much more mild even as it's spreading. Health officials presented evidence that the strain may be milder and that infections may already be peaking in the country's most populous province, Gautang maybe. Still the new cases in that week of the current wave were more than 20,000 a day compared with 4,400 in the same week in the third wave. So it's going to be different. There's going to be more cases here. They're going to be milder. That's the estimate out there. It's going to be interesting to see how this classification works. I can tell you already though that it's going to be interesting to see how it hits the economy. I'll tell you my situation. At home, of course, we have my young son, Tommy the fourth, who's going to be 11 months old, coming up early in the new year. But I also have my fiance as a young son who's in pre-K. He's almost five years old. Yesterday for the first time in his class, you have a positive case. So unfortunately, the way it works here in Florida does vary that if you sign something saying they don't have symptoms, you can't send them back. Today is the last day before Christmas vacation anyway. So we're just going to keep him home maybe to keep him out of that class if there's other people. We're going to watch him over the next two or three days or that they're about to see how he is. We're vaccinated. I'm not too worried with the baby. We just want to be careful out there. But I'll tell you, I was thinking about this morning that I'm in a very fortunate situation where I already have my mom helping out, taking care of Tommy. My fiance works. She's a respiratory therapist. So it's a unique situation that I'm able to stay home. Son can stay home. He can stay out of school for a period of time, just as the last day to be careful. Many people point being folks, many people in that same situation, they either send their kid back to school, which is understandable if they don't have symptoms. Or they stay home and it affects their work. It affects the economy. So it's going to be interesting to see how this impacts the economy because heed that warning that it's going to happen more often. You're seeing a play out in professional sports right now. They're not sure what to do. Originally, when the cases were very severe, they have protocols in place, whether they're out seven days, 10 days, vaccinated, unvaccinated, it varies. But now you're seeing a substantial rise in the level of cases. Maybe they're asymptomatic. The NFL and the NBA trying to figure out maybe they pause things for a week even they're talking about because you may see many cases ripped through the league. Maybe they're not as severe. Maybe the players are mostly asymptomatic. That'll kick them out of the games. In the NFL, you're coming into the home stretch. That might ruin the integrity of the games. So you're going to have a lot of players potentially exposed here. If cases spike, like it looks like they're going to, unfortunately, folks. The kids, the school deal, though, getting potentially exposed. Now, our son isn't five yet, so he doesn't have the opportunity to get vaccinated. Hopefully that stretches down the line sometime in the next year. But yeah, that's a real deal. So hopefully, I mean, good news on the forefront that people aren't getting that sick. That's the bottom line. But from a market perspective, I'm telling you, this is the first time we got calls. So for some context here, kids go back to school in late August in Florida, much different than the Northeast, where they kick things off after September. They go back like August 21st, school begins here. If you recall, that was kind of right in the middle of our wave. So we send son back to pre-K. I'm getting calls every single day from this elementary school, which goes up through sixth grade, that there are cases in the school. And the way it works is you get an automated call, cases in the school. It says you'll get a second automated call as a follow-up if your child has been exposed, which basically means if they're in the classroom that they're in. We never got a second call throughout that entire wave. We never got a second call, even though I was getting calls every single day. I was like, man, this is intense. It's only a matter of time, right? Thankfully, things calmed down. We never got the second call. What happens? Yesterday, we got the second call. So anecdotally, I know it's anecdotally, but it seems like the cases are going to rise. And I wonder if that's going to hit the economy at this time as well, because if you have kids, maybe you don't want to send them back. Maybe they do have symptoms, stuff like that. Boy, kids in school affecting people in work, it's a big one. Mom, I'm very fortunate to be in the situation I am, that it doesn't impact my work, but many people are not. And I imagine that's going to become a bigger impact across the board as we move forward. And we'll see how the market digests it. Right now, market digested in a little bit of losses. We're coming into the open down 30 points. You got gold up 10 bucks right now, NASDAQ 100, those tech stocks. We'll see how they open. Apple, the big dog, boy, Apple's got about $12 to make up for that $3 trillion mark now. Stay tuned, folks. I'll be right back for the opening bell.

The Dow off 215. We got the Russell off by 8 points right now. Crude off $1 on the open. Above $71, though, $71.12. When we jumped to gold, gold up $9 right now at $1807. We jumped to notes and bonds. Right now, I think we're probably sitting right at about a yield of 1.394. So right at about 1.4%. Just under 1.4%, though, sitting at 13108. Positive by 5 ticks on that 10-year. You got the 30er right now up 18 ticks at 162.22. We jump around to some of the stocks that are moving this morning on options expiration. Adobe trades down dramatically yesterday, and you're giving back a percent right now today. Again, at 560, we jump over to Apple. Apple opening up down 910% down to buck 37. We jump over to Microsoft shares down 1.3%. Google shares down 1.2%. We jumped to Tesla shares down a percent as well. Where is this market going to find a bid, folks? We will find out. All right, jumping around to what else we have going on. Darden restaurants. They are out with their numbers, I believe. Darden, and they got their CEO, is now in some plans to retire. Parent raises forecast, despite planned wage hike. Darden, where are they? DRIs, their symbol. Down above 4.3% on their numbers. Yeah, numbers along with that announcement. Conference call beginning at 8.30 Eastern time. You're down about 4.3%. The stock has been a rocket. Yeah, not quite, I guess, a rocket. I was thinking, what was I thinking of then? Maybe this recent acceleration. There's Darden. We go back a three-year weekly. Yeah, I guess I was thinking for the run that it had from 26 bucks up to 140, but this thing's been chopping around at 140 for the better part of almost nine months now, since March. And they have had it together pretty well. Olive Garden, what else do they have in there? Season 52. If you have a Season 52 next year, folks, nearby, check it out. Beautiful restaurant. They do healthy food with fine dining and wine and all that stuff. It's a pretty great concept, I think. Okay, what else do we have going on? Yeah, buy now, pay later. This one's interesting. And a firm after all of these stocks have been on a tear recently. Let's see how PayPal is trading right now. PayPal's down 2%. I mean, the market's down almost 1% right now. Was down yesterday, but this has to do with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau seeking information from a firm. After pay, we'll pull up the firm as well. PayPal and ZIP on the risks and benefits of their products. Buy now, pay later. Services let shoppers defer payment for items, typically over a period of monthly installments and with no interest attached. Affirm shares closed down 11% Thursday. And the other ones were down as well. What is the firm? AFRM. Yeah, there you go. So down about 2% today with the market, but real acceleration yesterday. And I think regular there should, folks. That's the reason why you have some regulations. You know, yes, you could make the argument that jobs will be created in these companies. So you'd be crushing jobs through regulations. But boy, these companies, man, you're going to be praying on people that can't afford things. I mean, I saw an advertisement, I believe, for an affirmed product and it had to do with Domino's. And I think it was overseas, all right? And it turned into like almost a Twitter meme. But it was paying for Domino's pizza over three installments. If you start financing pizza delivery for dinner, folks, we're all in big trouble because that is not a society we want to live in. In any way, it's the same thing as payday loans. Now payday loans, people in the lowest incomes do need bridge capital to just pay their bills occasionally. So there's that argument, but there's no reason the percentages need to be as bad as they are on payday loans. That is something that is just horrible, how the poorest of the poor are exploited to a percentage that makes no sense for anybody. But that's the only availability they have for cash sometimes. Nonetheless, I'll get off the soapbox, but affirmed, trained down an additional 2.6% on that. All right, let's jump down the line to some of the other stocks that are moving. We talked about Darden, the numbers that they had there. They beat by 5 cents on earnings, a buck 48, and revenue top forecast, same store sales, 34.4%. Market was looking for 32.6 and they still beat, but they did announce that the CEO will retire in May of 22, he's gonna be replaced by the president and COO, and they fell 5%. Winnebago, they beat as well. So they're trading up, let's see, WGO, Winnebago. Give back some of the gains, but up about 2%. Now, this stock chopping around this year, up to 87 earlier in the year, COVID, you really rebounded there as people got on the road and maybe did a little traveling in their Winnebago while the whole world was locked down, but they beat 351 a share. The market was only looking for 226. All right, let's jump over to FedEx and see how they are opening on their numbers here. FedEx, up 8.3%. There's an acceleration on their numbers last night. FedEx, look at this thing. Beating estimates on the top and bottom line, they earned 483 a share. Mark was looking for 428 with higher shipping rates, helping to make up for increased expenses. It's always nice when you can transfer that over in the markets, loving this on the open, man. You're up another six bucks on the open. We take a look at the full pullback here from 319 down to 218. This stock gives up 100 bucks. We put it on a Fibonacci number from the run that we had last May, okay? And you're talking about right at the 50%, this thing almost pulled back to, you're now above the 382, quite a clawback indeed in terms of FedEx up to 260, man. It doesn't stop. Let's jump over to UPS shares. Trading up 1.8%, UPS getting a lift on their numbers as well as in accelerating on those FedEx numbers up to 215 last night. You're sitting at about 211 right now. Watch out for this market, folks. I thought we were catching a bid for a moment, and I turned away. Let's put it on a one-minute chart to see the action. And yeah, market lasted about four minutes, folks, before we just sold off 20 points. And just like that, we're dropping like a rock. We're trading at 4613. You got the NASDAQ 100 off 171, but boy, that S&P on a minute basis, you can see. Things really just picked up at 934, and they're not stopping right now to 446.11. Let's jump over to the VIX for some spiking action on the VIX. VIX now above where we were yesterday. You put the VIX on a five minute to see where we were on Wednesday. 2347 was the high in the VIX on Wednesday's action. We're sitting at 2284 right now in that volatility index. Boy, it's going to be a spicy day out there, folks. Options expiration on the heels of a Fed meeting. Well, they're going to be hiking faster. It's so interesting here that we got the move on Wednesday. Because I tell you, for the first time, coming into that Fed meeting, like I had said, the risk-reward ratio of upside-to-downside action sitting at basically all-time highs coming into the week seemed like the possibility for a pullback was greater than the market getting some type of news which would accelerate it above all-time highs. Looks like it took a day to recoil, but boy, things are adjusting quickly here. What's so interesting on top of that, though, is that we got the 10-year sitting with a yield of now under 1.39 percent, folks. You're sitting at 1.387 percent on that 10-year. Over in Europe, negative action as well. You get the DAX down a full percent. CAC rolled down 1.5 percent over in Europe as they trade lower as well. All right, folks, stay tuned.

The market's not stopping right now, and man, after the carnage we had yesterday, who knows if we're going to stop right now, folks? We are down to the lows of Wednesday. You're talking about lows of Tuesday within about 10 points of where we're trading at right now, and any time you have a run like we've had, folks, you're right back to the channel line. That's the only thing I'll bring up here. When you look at a daily basis, back it up even five years to get the full COVID lows in there, you can see this trend line pretty well contained. You know, the highs get a little bit above it, the lows get a little bit below it, but we are bouncing up against the little portion of that trend line right now. We'll see if it holds. We could trade a little bit below it though. You're still talking about a move of 50 points, and you'd be right around where you were to that lower trend line when you bounced back in early December, early this month. Tech stocks pulling back 195. You got the Dow off 428 right now. You got the Dow more than 1,000 points off of its high that it had. We're talking about an S&P right now only, and this is where folks, you only get the S&P off, 130 points from its all-time highs that we just made yesterday. I had to give myself pause yesterday. That would be some irony, right? If you peek out the day after the Fed announces tightening, it's that one final push higher, and just like that, we're now 140 points below that price level. Yeah, even Bitcoin giving it up. We're down to 46,000 right now in Bitcoin. You look at this movie, Fed and Bitcoin, from the run back in September, we've almost given it all back. Seems like Bitcoin's going to 40,000. I mean, look at this. Talk about a little symmetry. We got our man Basil Chapman coming up live next with the Tiger Technicians Hour at 10 o'clock. And man, he's got that cup and handle formation, and that cup, folks, that cup's got to come down to about 41,000 on Bitcoin. Maybe that's your buy, 41,000 on Bitcoin, quite a pullback from 69,000 back. Is that right? Yeah, 69,000. You're talking about five weeks ago? Yeah, that's the daily. Wow. Let's look up Ethereum. I didn't even realize that these cryptos have traded so much lower. Ethereum, not quite the pullback. Maybe Ethereum, you're looking for a 618. You're looking to get into Ethereum. Maybe 3557. You could start to nibble, but boy, I'd be careful, because you might get the same type of pullback on Ethereum down to about 2700 or so. That would be a pullback that you'd get to there. All right, what else we got going on in terms of stocks are moving? Rivian, so much for all positive action. They lost $1.23 billion for the third quarter stemming from expenses to begin production of its electric pickup truck. Rivian's first quarterly report since going public. Revenue was $1 million from its first deliveries. Stock's down 8%. This stock's amazing, folks. $179 this thing ran to. What are we talking about for a market cap right now? Fundamentals on the Thinkorswim platform under the Analyze tab, $85 billion. $85 billion, they go public, and they've got no revenue. And they're churning $1.23 billion every 90 days. Listen, I get it, all right? This company is going to be a force in the future. You've seen what's happened with companies like Tesla. Now, Tesla's back to 921. Tesla's down another half a percent yesterday, man. This stock traded it down, talking about $80 almost from high to low. And boy, you want to see something scary, folks. Talk about, I mean, just since the run we had in September, you're almost back to a 618. We traded from 652 to 1243. You doubled the price. And just like that, you've almost given it back for 618. Now that, you could have to fill the gap here. I don't know if you filled it. Maybe you have now. We'll talk about a high of 910. Not quite. What did we just make it to today? 909. We actually did. We filled that gap that it had from October 22nd. Now that's a daily, okay? We've now come down and filled that gap, the 618 sitting at about 875. I don't know. Maybe that's an area you could nibble on for Tesla. I don't know, though. Be careful. Everything comes with a disclaimer right now in this market when you've had things accelerate like they have. Yes, that's a retracement that we've got from here. Oh, boy, this stock was just trading, folks. It's almost mind-blowing to think about. $70, this stock was trading at a year and a half ago. Tesla was trading at 70 bucks, let alone it came into COVID at 186. All right. Remember, split adjusted. If Tesla had never split, we'd be dealing with, I think it went 4 for 1 or 5 for 1. So Tesla would be trading at $4,000 right now. I know I'm just free thinking here, but be careful on those ones with the runs that we've had because they're all based on multiples. Tesla as well. So the market bounced in a bit right from where we were yesterday. You're up a few points from there, negative 47 points on the session right now. You know, it's interesting yesterday, Verizon, AT&T, some of the dividend stocks really accelerating higher. Look at this run that Verizon had. Verizon was up like 4% yesterday from 50 to 50 to 50. We talked about this on the program, talking about, and look at the move that AT&T had as well. Strong, strong moves by both of these equities from 2260 up to 2380. There's more than just dividends, but be aware of some of these plays here, folks. And you have the market sitting all-time highs and you've got companies. Now, you know, you can call that one a dead cat bounce potentially because look at the chart AT&T especially. Yes, you've got a green bar for the first time in a while on a weekly basis on AT&T. But boy, that is still quite a chart to the downside. Verizon, not much, pretty recently in terms of a pullback, but there's your decent weekly action. Maybe that gets us back within this channel line here. You take a look at Verizon. This thing's a monthly that I've had. Now, not quite parallel those lines, but it's been pretty well contained going back to basically from 2010, 2005, 2006, the highs versus the lows just got below that trend line. And just like that, we're back in it for Verizon. But both of these companies, I think AT&T yesterday before the run had a 7% yield and Verizon had about a 4.5% yield. When you got the 10-year folks sitting now at under 1.4%, that becomes pretty attractive. And just like that, we're at 1.38%, folks. This is not slowing down right now. Back to a short-term chart of the 10-year note. We're right back up to the highs. We had about 8 in the morning. We're up 9 ticks right now. We're trading with a yield of 1.38%. Do we make it back to 1.25% in the 10-year? Did not think that was going to happen, folks. You want to keep your spikes up on your back when you see that because the note and bond market, man, they're usually the brightest out there because of the amount of money that is in those markets in terms of navigating to where supply and demand actually meet in terms of estimations for growth. And boy, that is quite a decrease for the 10-year coming down to 1.38%. We'll leave it right there. All right. What else we have for stocks that are moving? Johnson and Johnson, yeah. They're lower. Now, the CDC recommended that adults receive Pfizer and Moderna vaccines rather than the J&J. J and new data cited higher levels of blood clotting condition than previously thought, although that condition remains rare. Nonetheless, they're advising the mRNA shots, J&J. They're down 2.6% today. Nothing too dramatic when you think about the markets getting pretty pummeled today, but there's your negative action on Johnson and Johnson. You jump over to Moderna. Moderna shares down just 3.25%. We jump over to Pfizer shares. Pfizer down 1.6%. You pull up the daily on Pfizer. Quite a run this thing has had, man. You back it up to July. You train at 39. You back it up to just in October. You were trading at 41 for Pfizer. I mean, Pfizer. Remember when they were coming out with the Omicron and they were talking about... Anyway, they have a horse in the race, folks. And it might be the case. I am boosted. I encourage you to get out there and get boosted. Talk to your medical professional, but these companies are going to benefit from those continued shots simultaneously as well. Stay tuned, folks. We'll be right back to finish up the show.
