The TFNN Bull Bear Training Hour. Now, Tommy and Tommy O'Brien. Welcome, folks. Appreciate your growling and prowling with us out here. We have the Dow Industries down 43. NASDAQ is off 40. S&P's down 4.5. Gold contract up $7.70. Trading at 12.87 an ounce. We've got Silver up 9 cents. $14.97 an ounce. Light sleep crewed. We're helping the crewed, man. You know, there's so much going on this morning. Yeah, crewed. Negative action. Finally, for once. Down to buck 45. Trading at 63.81. You get notes and bonds higher price. Ten-year note up 9 ticks. $123.22. $30 a bond up a half a point. $16 ticks. $147.21. King dollar. King dollar down 189 ticks. Trading at 97.730. The year is at 111.54. The yen is trading at 111.5. And the pound is at 129 to 1 U.S. dollar. And when that GDP number did come out, if you want to see reversals all over the place, well, you had spikes and reversals, right? Watch this. We take a look at the... We'll start with the... Ten-year, huh? Ten-year. Okay. And you're going to see the ten-year gold with this. As well... Show me the spike. I can't see it on the track. Seriously, man. Okay, so it comes out. The ten-year trades down to 12309. For a split second. And then just pops topside. Yeah. Gold. We go over to the gold contract. We take a look at gold. You're going to see the same setup in gold. Look at this thing. Gold pops down to 1276. Okay. And then goes off like a rocket ship to 1287. Yeah. And we go back into the dollar index and you're going to see the same type of setup. It's pretty wild, man. I mean, it took the market a split second to basically look at this and the dollar just went the opposite. Sure. The dollar spiked higher. Then gave it up. And we see it sometimes with, you know, any type of news event, right? The market will initially react to their first anything, which is the headline. And I was just talking before we came on the program. And I think you'll hear it talked about through analysts throughout the day that there's a lot more in that number than just the 3.2 versus 2.3. Right. You know, you had government adding money there. You had exports adding money there. It doesn't point to a domestic economy. And you had inventories adding to the GDP. And inventories isn't, you know, business as in if you're just building inventories, that's not a direct driver of a huge bustling economy. So I think that you saw some of that in that number. And so how about the chip stocks, man? NVIDIA, Intel. What's going on? Are we not using chips anymore? So watch. If we start, we can Intel, you know, basically laid it low, man. They're dragging it down. Look at that. Down 10%. Intel closed last night at 57.23. Opens up this morning at 52. Yeah. You're at 51.80 so far. The video's down like 10% as well. No, not quite at 10. Okay. What are we looking at? It's down 11 bucks for a 1.80. So 6%, 6% something like that. Big moves. Right. They'll take them all. Wow. And it had a little negative action yesterday, too. Yeah. We go to the SMHs. You're going to see the SMHs as well as the, look at that yesterday. You know, you can see the, they're battling down yesterday. Yeah. Right. With volume. Can we draw a line from these recent trends? How do we draw a line here? Track, annotate, annotate. Yeah. I just want to see where they line up. This guy right here, maybe? Yes. Perfect. I just want to see if you connect this guy right to this guy. Where that's going to lead you? Yeah. We might have a little bit lower to go before we even think about it. Right. I wanted to see if that, it was almost going to line up perfectly. I was trying to see if, no, but no point. And then, you know, so we do also have IYT. Watch this, folks. This is the transports. The transports and the semis look to me like they topped out yesterday. Here's the, here's the transports. And what you're going to see, this is quite a test. So on Wednesday, transports go to $200, 42 cents. Yeah. Close at $199.53. Have 81 million shares. No, 81,000 shares. You're going into $221,000 and you're failed. Expansion of volume yesterday. Look at that. 250. So it cracks me up when they can test the, the dollar. I mean, you're talking about a 200 number. It's like, really? You know. And, you know, in the aspect, you had plenty of companies come out with good numbers and they went higher, but you had plenty of companies come out with bad numbers are going lower. So the battle is out there. Oh, for sure. You know, a king dog out here, Amazon, they come out with big numbers. Pretty muted response. Yeah. Traded to 1390, I know, 1939 this morning. You're 1912 right now. Yeah. One of the cool stories I was reading about is that they're doing away with two-day delivery, one-day delivery, right? I know. I mean, very smart as in there's a lot of things that will become so accustomed to that we don't want to wait two days. Instant gratification. Yeah. Oh, there you go. Right. And it would make sense. I mean, I was even reading about some of the money that they're spending to make that happen. I'm sure it's not cheap, but it's also not expensive in the terms of the value that they provide. Okay. And the amount of money that they can. I mean, I was saying, you know, $800 million investment. That's like barely anything when I read that about it in Amazon. You know, especially if you're talking about $800 million investment to bring one-day delivery to like any item that they have out there almost. That's a data-heavy. That's a data-heavy. I agree. And you can see they took in $59.7 billion. Now that was, I believe, they were looking for $59.1. I think they took in $600 million more. Okay. And $709 to the bottom line. Not bad. Huge money. There's no doubt. Starbucks, SBUX. Were we drinking coffee? They were up last night. I don't know, okay. The bottom of the party now. Yep. They did. They were up to, I was going to say, it said 52 week high, even. Okay, yeah. They were up there. They made the high on the open. Like a lot of things, and sold off, I guess. Yeah. And the gold, the GDX, bottom line, they tried to bid. You know, so for Friday into the weekend, that's a big deal. So you get 4.5 million shares. It's going to try to get inside its higher range, which is 2140. You're 2131 right now. The dollar, of course, is that this is, this broke top side, man. Bottom line is that you're right below the number in the continuous contract. Watch this. This is going to be wild if it fails today. Because it's, now the continuous contract, folks, is different. It's, it, they string these together. That's what it really comes down to. But the number is 97770, 97730. You'll see what I'm talking about here, where the breakout is. The breakout, yeah, 97705. Okay. And you know, we went over it nice. You know, if we close underneath it, guess what? Then, okay, then you're going to have a failure. It's going to be pretty intense though, because... Yeah, and it could be, not like a big day, but it's Friday, we've got a GDP number that you can kind of interpret a few different ways. So there might be... And the currency market is a big day. Just no doubt. Because when you break higher, and you broke out of this consolidation for a long period of time, there's no reason you couldn't get followed through. If you don't get followed through, it's going to be like, okay, then, the gold market was right, the bond market was right. Because the anomaly was, the dollar doesn't go higher like that, and gold doesn't get whacked, and the bonds don't get whacked, you know? So we'll see how this whole baby shakes out. Pretty wild though, man. A lot of moving pieces out there, and of course the... Yes. With the chips, what you have with the chips, folks, the chips have the capability of bringing the Nasdaq to a lower price. Nothing else seems to bother the Nasdaq. Other market generally, the Nasdaq has some action. Let's take a look out here. We get the Dow Industries right now down to 61. Nasdaq is off 38. S&P's off 4.

You get the Nasdaq off 29. S&Ps up one and a half. Let's go over to the oil market. So, CLM-9. CLM-9. That's quite a movement. It sure is. So, it's 63-41. That didn't move with the GDP. That's just moving period. Okay, cool. I saw a headline about President Trump talking about OPEC needs to bring down prices again. I'm sure that can only be adding to the downside action. Not sure if it's a bigger factor in it, but it's out there. Yeah, and so you get back to, you know, we had broken topside this week and came right back underneath it. What are the highs there that we just made? 66-60. Okay, I mean, look at that. $3.30 off the high. And if we go over to Exxon Kimo at Numbers last night, they blew it. Got that down $2, trading $80. Chevron, I believe, as well, right? Yeah, they did. You know, you can see, when you take a look at this, you're going to see that, you know, you're coming right into the supply line, vicious downdraft from, what is that? Yeah, February of 18th. February of 18th. That's a big number. Chevron, CBG. I believe that was when the market was falling out of bed in 18th. CBX. CBX, thanks. So that's low, huh? Yeah, open tire though, right? Yeah, and they're having a fight with Occidental and Anadarko. You know, if you read the article today, these corporations, man, are something else. They just deny everything. There's an article today in the Wall Street Journal, right? So what the article is about this, and when Chevron came out with the bid for Anadarko, this was also in the paper, but it didn't seem like, I was saying, well, why did they take the Chevron bid when the journal had been reporting that Occidental, I'd come in at $7 higher? Okay. Okay, and prior to that. Well, the journal went over the whole story today, and it's unbelievable. The story has to do with written communications between the CEO of Occidental going into Anadarko. This went on for two months up until four days before they did the deal with Chevron. Okay, before Anadarko did the deal with Chevron. That's right, and they did the deal with Chevron, and they put in there a $1 billion breakup fee. Okay. When, if you believe the article, Occidental always had a much bigger bid than Chevron. Okay. Then Chevron. And who pays the breakup fee? Anadarko. Okay. Okay. And then Anadarko is absolutely denied. Denying what? Denying that Occidental, you know, yeah, they weren't really talking to us. There was nothing really solid. Okay. It was like, I'm reading this and saying, this is unbelievable. So the journal's showing, oh, we got e-mails, we got, it's just... Why would they put a $1 billion breakup? Why would Anadarko allow a $1 billion breakup fee to be in that deal? That's what the journal's writing. That's exactly what, that's part of that deal. Like, what is this? Yeah. Why would you do something like this? Right? No, we'll find out. You know? I'm sure. Then they show that it's possible that Chevron would be a better mixer than them because they're a much bigger company and if something happens. Sure. And I remember it first came out, right? You know, that could be the deal, but the whole deniability is like the wild thing. Yeah. No, no. I don't... No, that didn't come down. You're talking about, what was the final price tag? $33 to $38 billion, I think. That's quite a game of high stakes poker they're playing. As in, you better not believe everything because it's a negotiation up until the day it's done. Until it's sold, yeah. $40 billion poker game going on there. See who holds the cards. A-N-D. No, A-N-A-D maybe. We'll get you there. A-N-A-D. There we go. Let's see what's there. Because now they ended this with... They thought that Chevron's going to have to come in bigger now. Okay, right. You know, because Occidental came in with more cash, too. And it's not that. They both had... It was a cash stock deal, but at the end of the day they came in with more cash now. Occidental. Yeah. So you're at $71.52. When this started two weeks ago, you were at $46. How's that, huh? If Chevron and Occidental are in a big poker game in, Anadarko's the house, just collecting. Right? I mean, it's like... It's so true. They're in quite a spot. So that's a market cap of $35 billion. Yeah. And that's where... I believe the first bid was $33. I believe the second one was $38. Okay. So you're sitting right in the middle. They now know it's going to be more than $33. And they're saying, oh, that was interesting. So 30... Wouldn't we just say 30? How much? 35.8, I believe, or something? Okay. Oh, X, Y. Let me see. I want to see 35. So let's see what Occidental is. Okay. That's only 45. Yep. And then watch. Yeah, this is going to be... They're going to be far above 45. This is what it is, yeah. Yeah, to 23. Yeah. So that's what you're dealing with. Sure. Right. I would agree. Yeah. And there's even probably... There's probably even more than that is. Maybe they think the management team, because they're such a bigger company, can do a better job of integrating those two companies or something like that. I imagine there's a lot of things at play. Let me talk about more, you know, a quarter-trillion-dollar company taking over a company valued at $40 billion. Speaking of valuations, you see Uber? Yes. Not quite the unicorn they thought it was going to be. No, $90 billion. Like an E. $90 billion. $90 billion. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, the numbers before it lift came out to $120 to $140 billion for valuation. You be. You be. I know you're a lift fan. I know. Yeah. We'll get you out. Yeah. So, let's see. So, what happens, folks, is that the S1 is out today. Yes. They're going to be on the road, and I suspect they're going to try to get this done by next Friday or Monday at the latest. I would not let it hang, especially when it seems like the longer it waits, the valuation just keeps going down. Totally. Yeah. So, see, it's as high as $84. That's the high end. Wow. So, they're offering only $180 million shares between $44 and $50 bucks. Let's get down here. So, yeah, at the top of the range, that's talking about $84 billion. That's a low top end of that range, man. And let's see. Yeah. So, nonetheless, we'll hear about this. You see this right there? PayPal holding is agreed to buy $500 million at the stock at the IPO price and a part of replacement. Okay. The investment's part of the deal to extend the payment company partnership with Uber. Sure. Yeah. That has more than to do, more than just to do with buying the shares, right? They're making sure they're securing themselves as being a payment provider in some capacity. You're probably going to be able to tie your PayPal account to your Uber account. Yeah. Probably a smart move. PayPal, that stock is just a rocket ship, man. Yeah. These, yeah, there's no doubt. So, let's see. At the low end of the range, Uber's market valuation would just be $74 billion below the latest private funding round. Yeah. Right. I mean, that was at 76. If you had said six weeks ago that Uber's going to go public at a valuation of $74 billion, people would go, what the heck's going to happen over the next six weeks, man? Is the market going to go to the floor? Yeah. So, you get $15 billion for left. Yeah. That's quite a chart. For $72 to $56. For sure. $28 billion. Watch out. There it is, folks.

Hey, Steve, what's going on? How are you doing? You doing great, man, yourself? Good. Thanks for taking my call. Thanks. I wanted to mention something about this Anadarko and Chevron merger. Yes. People are forgetting that there's a tremendous amount of acreage out there that is more efficient when you combine those two companies in with Occidental because of the horizontal drilling and where they're located. It makes more sense, economic-wise, to look at where their acreage is and where they're complementary to it. I see. Yeah, in correlation with each other. So you're saying Anadarko has closer reserves to Chevron than Occidental, right? Is that what we were talking? Absolutely. Absolutely. And it makes more sense from an economic standpoint because you're going down and then drilling horizontally that you're getting a lot more acreage that is next to each other so they can be more efficient on the particular wells that they're drilling. Nice. It just makes a heck of a lot more sense than Occidental. Pretty cool. That's why you're probably going to see Chevron come back hard, right? Yeah, right. Exactly. It's totally... I mean, that's where it's at. I mean, it's one thing. The old ways is just a vertical... well, now it's all horizontal. And you've got to get enough acreage put together to make it worthwhile and sensible and eliminates a lot of overhead if you're combining those two companies from, you know, you don't have as many people to deal with in that type of thing. And you've got... economies of scale is what they call it by doing it that way. And then you've got, you know, the same engineers could be doing it over, you know, rather than two different companies in the same area just have one company and it just makes more sense economically for that to work. Yeah, there's no doubt. You know, it's amazing is that as you're talking about the horizontal drilling, I just took oil and I put oil up on a 30-year basis. I was in Alaska. I had actually offices in Alaska when oil got down to this $10 level. Yeah. And that's where horizontal drilling started. And I remember sitting, eating breakfast, like reading this and saying, wow, this is going to be pretty cool how this works. Yeah. So it's intriguing here, folks, that I forgot that it actually goes back that far. Now, it certainly didn't get the kick out of the deal until about 10 years ago, maybe 15 years ago when they basically realized that, you know, hey, guess what? You could do this everywhere. They were doing it basically up there. You know, that's where it started, but it's so intriguing, man, because, you know, whether it's Pennsylvania, you know, the Permian Basin in general, or then in Texas, they thought all those wells in Texas were done. It's like, yeah, they're done all right. They're going to make billionaires out of the next five generations. Tom, that's exactly it. It's the technology of the drilling that has escalated so much to where they're being able to be so precise and out of one well, they can drill one pad. They can drill, you know, six, seven, eight from that. That's amazing. And the costs are just so much better that way, and the technology has improved so much. I mean, that's the engineering aspect of it, and so that's why we're at the level we're at. Pretty cool. It's truly amazing, and it's wonderful from that standpoint. And the way they're doing it, it's environmentally sound doing it this way, and it's a good way of doing it. So it's all improving. Did you grow up in Houston? No, I grew up in Ohio originally, but I've been down here for 40 years, so... That's so cool. Because what happens, folks, is that, so the way, and we specialize, we had cheap tickets going all over the country, but I had all those oil companies in Alaska, and that's why I said I had so many customers in Houston because what happens, folks, is two weeks on, two weeks off. Two weeks on, two weeks off, and it was a great businessman. I mean, I had, forget it, man. It was just, and I got to learn not about the business in general, but about the economy in general because it was so dynamic. Do you know what I mean? Sure. These guys... Absolutely. And there's wonderful people in that industry, and they are hard workers, and they provide great services, and it's really... it's just a phenomenal part of this economy. It is. They've got the technology behind it like they do. Yeah, and it's real work, man. It's actually dangerous work. I mean, but depending what you talk... It's, you know, I got to see some of them going out into those rigs a few times. It's like, man, this is pretty intense. You know what I thought was so cool, man? Because I got to learn to know a lot of these guys over the course of time, because I did this for like seven years. And what ended up happening, because they had the time, they'd get some of that bread, not all of them, but about a third of them had another business. They get the bread, they start another small business going. Sure. So it was pretty cool, man, just watching how money transfers, you know? Well, and that's true. And this is kind of entering... we go through these phases, and this is entering into a phase where you've got these majors that... economies of scale are coming into play to where it now starts to make sense to buy these smaller independents, or guys like Anna Darker. That's not a small one, but you're going to see more consolidation in all that stuff. Yeah. Yeah. That's pretty cool, man. I mean, what's amazing is that we have so much oil, right? I mean, it's like, okay. But it's the technology that does it. That does it. If it isn't that technology, you would not have that oil. And this oil does play out pretty quick. So it's not like it's there forever. You've got to do a lot of drilling. Okay. Yeah. Pretty cool, man. Yeah, I love it. All righty. Steve, thanks for the update, man. Thank you. Bye. Have a great one, man. Have a safe one. Yeah. You know what they had? They had in the journal this morning, too. The average pay, folks, for these oilworks is $176,000. Okay. Yeah. You know. Great money, but... How high up the chain does that go? It's at the medium. That was... For the whole company? Yeah. For the whole company? Okay. Yeah. You know me, I love details. I'm just like, what company? I've never heard of a company that pays a median $176,000 to a worker. There you go. Well, we'll find it. As soon as we get off, you can pull up that article. As soon as we get off the air, we'll figure it out. All right. It's... It is... I've only heard of Facebook or the like side. I'm sure you're... Because I know that, and it's because of exactly what you said, man. It is hard work. It's definitely dangerous if you're actually out there on those rigs. So, they deserve every penny of that, for sure. I'm just interested. So, what's happening? What you're going to see, folks, now this is pretty cool. See, what you're going to see here, what had happened is that the SEC put in a new rule last year sometimes. So, when these companies are giving their numbers out, they also have to give out the medium for their workforce. That's what... Is that the SEC or is that a European rule that they're doing? Is it SEC? What is it? Okay. Bottom line is that that's where these numbers are coming from. I think that might be a European rule. Just because remember the Europeans are very concerned about like CEO pay to median average pay. So, I think the companies do business overseas as a result have to disclose CEO to median worker pay ratios. It's part of the European regulations. European Union. Brussels. Brussels want to know everything. Well, just like those mergers, right? They need to protect jobs. They are. That's why I say that's... If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First mortgage program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tax Act of 2018 set up tax-free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The investment is anywhere from 30,000 to 75,000. The interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis.

Welcome back folks 877-927-6648 Let me look at Bitcoin first. This is a good story though. Hold on, hold on, let me get another screen for you. We'll go for this one, go for it. XBT, I believe. Thank you, XBT. Yeah, the story out here we're talking about Bitfinex. There's a little drop. We made up to $5,500 but you're going to see some volatility here. What's the low there? $4,983. Almost a 10% haircut from $5,500. Okay, so now the story. And the story goes back to This is crazy. Where were we? Did we jump around? No, right there. So cryptocurrency shed $10 billion in an hour on worries over stablecoin quote unquote, Tether. So if you remember, Tether was supposed to be something you could take your money out of crypto put it in a quote unquote crypto but it was tied to the value of a dollar. So you're basically just putting it into cash was the theory. There was always speculation though that those reserves were not there to meet that Tether was saying for every dollar that's supposed to be in Tether. Well, it comes out that Bitfinex, I guess it's saying alleges we'll see that they used $700 million from those Tether's cash reserves to cover an $850 million loss. And I believe that's one of those where maybe it was a hacking, maybe it was whatever it was, right? They lost that type of value and instead of disclosing that yeah, so now questions have arisen and this is talking about New York Attorney General, that's his top lawyer. Yeah. So let's see, it gets in. They're falling amid reignited regulatory worries around questions over the legitimacy of so-called stablecoin Tether. The entire market, so everything kind of tanked all at once, shedding $10 billion. That's after, as you said, New York Attorney General accusing the operator of Bitfinex and Tether issuer Tether Limited of hiding $850 million loss, yeah. So they're saying that they basically rated those reserves to make up for the loss of client and corporate funds to the tune of $850 million. Tether's supposed to be pegged to the U.S. Dollar, so they say. Otherwise known as a stablecoin, but worries have been raised. We've talked about it here. Paul from Nevada, talking about that, don't worry. We got all that money in the bank to back it up, but we're not going to show you. And you better have, you know, you better have those spikes on your shoulders. That's crazy. Look at it. The Attorney General's office said Thursday that Bitfinex handed $850 million to a Panama entity called Crypto Capital without disclosing it to investors. The executives at Bitfinex and Tether then allegedly engaged a series of conflicted corporate transactions where Bitfinex gave itself access to cash reserves. Yeah. Yeah. Not disclosed to investors. Of course, cash reserves as basically a slush fund. And the whole point of that was supposed to be that, you know, it's like not escrow, right? But no, no, we're not taking that as operating income. We have reserves to back it up. No, they don't. They just raid that anytime they need more money. So let's see that response. Said in response that the Attorney General's court filings were written in bad faith, $150 million loss stating the funds were not lost but have been in fact seized and safeguarded. I am very suspect of that statement. Yeah. So those markets getting hit pretty hard as you'd expect when you hear another scandal, right? And they just kind of break down that why Tether's one of the most notable stables because it's meant to be back one by one with a U.S. dollar to provide a stable value. You know, you want to get your money out of Bitcoin. Sometimes it's really hard to take it from Bitcoin and a literal U.S. dollars. So the theory being you can keep it on those crypto exchanges but take it out of the crypto market. Not so much, folks. Not so much. And we were jumping around as well. So one of those articles that we were, so they really are raking it in, man. In terms of oil refiners, $200,000 almost for the median worker. Oil and grass drillers refiners had some of the highest-paid median workers in the energy and utility sector and according to your journal, pretty remarkable numbers and they deserve it for sure. You're talking about highly skilled labor for sure. Whether you're talking about, you know, geologists, right? Let alone the manual labor of the skilled labor out there too. You're skilled laborer if you're doing that for sure. So let's go take a look at some of the higher volume equities out here. We'll see if we get any volume in this market out here today. Ford. Let's talk about Ford actually and they're facing a criminal investigation, but that doesn't, yeah, they sure are over the emissions. It seems to be a nagging factor on that, but nonetheless, yeah. Look at that thing. It's up 10%. And they came out with numbers, correct? Yeah. They came out with more than just a criminal investigation. So there, okay, so you launch the consolidation and say, they're saying this thing can get up to $11. Let's see what they had to say. Yeah. Yeah, that's the top one, right? Bad news is good for your stock these days. As long as you're selling a lot of cars, it doesn't mean it doesn't matter if you're lying about emissions, I guess. So let's see. They beat on earnings per share. They're saying they beat on revenue. That's really what's driving this. There could be more upside to estimates for the remainder of the year for continues to live deliver on its strategic initiatives and its North American product lineup. That's a Goldman analyst. Yeah, they don't have the full breakdown there. But nonetheless, big movement, 90 cents, right? Go for it, yeah. 425, that's yesterday's, right? They came out with numbers last night. I believe so. There we go. There we go. So what do they got? Oh, here we go. Look at that. So first quarter earnings per share 44 cents, consensus was 27. Big number. Yeah. Year on year, they come in with adjusted earnings before interest in taxes. 2.4 last year was 2.1, not sure the expectation. Maybe we do slide down one more to see if we get. Let's see. So revenue, 37.2 billion, not bad. Not bad. They beat it by about 200 million. Big number probably that earnings, right? Big beat for sure. Right to the bottom line. And especially when you beat on earnings per share. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. It's not one of those. I know you're talking about in your show yesterday where somehow you're making more money when you're taking in less than we thought. Yeah. Okay, that's great, but that's not a recipe for an Amazon of the world, you know, that's okay for this quarter, but everybody wants to know what you're doing next quarter. If you're taking in less money from the revenue, man, you can't cost forever to make money. No, I see. So you failed at the high. Failed at 57. So that puts game on to 42. Consolidation is going to stay in place. Quite a number, man. Look at the 42. Look at the volume stick out. This is crazy when this happens, folks. Now, you failed at the high, but at the below of the consolidation, you have volume. You can see it sticking out like a sore thumb, man. We'll make our way down to that level. Yeah. We're going to take a peek. We're about to go break, but we'll take a peek. We hear Google learnings on Monday, man. Things do not slow down at all. It is a big week. We'll go over a few different things. So you get Google trading at $12, $68, $27 right now. It's close to its highs, and it's right next to it. They're going to be looking for $30 billion, $30 billion and $10 at the bottom line. Where's all their past earnings? What's going on? Folks, Tommy and I are coming right back.

While originally hand drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later Basil found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhanced the degree of accuracy in calling price turns as well as market trend calls. Thus was born the Chapman Wave sequence.
