 Good afternoon folks. This is Jacob Shoup, filling in for Tom O'Brien. I noticed that he'd be back today, but it was incorrect. So you're stuck with me today. Let's take a look at what we got going on in the market. It's got a little pep in its step today, which is actually kind of nice with the ES mini trading at about 4,826 up about 0.69% cracking over that $4,800 level from a retrace back down about $4,700. It's pretty nice to see the Russell up about 0.18%. We have the NQs of about 0.85%. The Dow futures 0.55% trading at $37,971. Let's see if we can crack back over that $38,000 level. I know there is some technicians who are looking at it trading back down. You see this in the Dow and really in the ES mini as well. Kind of a trace back down to this $4,600 area, which is really where we had that massive breakout on pretty good volume. Those around December 11th. We'll see if that has any kind of staying power, that concept at least. There is some bearish cases to be made. Gold contract, about flat today, trading around $2,029. Of course, we had that major high at the beginning of December, about $2,152. That was very quick, came right back down there to a low about $19,88. We'll see if we're kind of traveling back down to that area. That same news, we also have the dollar kind of coming down as well, but still on this kind of uptake. So we'll see if we trade kind of in a consolidation form for the dollar and move back down. It doesn't seem like we might hit the 103 level that we all have been talking about. If this loses its steam, comes back down to that $99 area. That's going to be good for the gold, excuse me, the metals in general and the markets. We have silver trading at $2311 contract, moderately today. And then we have copper coming back a little bit, almost up 1%, trading at $378. Looks not great on the short term. However, if you didn't hear the interview I had with Basil yesterday, I'd really recommend going to check it out, kind of getting his insight into it. Again, the whole concept with this is you have very large gold suppliers who are looking to get into the copper game. We talked a little bit about yesterday how copper is going to be a major player in this energy transition. Again, short term. There might be some other picks, a little bit better. Obviously, we see kind of a retracement here in copper on that short term. But I think long term this is going to be a pretty interesting kind of metal to get into. Of course, there's been a lot of... This has been strange with the energy markets. Of course, you had that gas blow up yesterday after having the bottom taken out of it. Earlier this morning, there was a lot of news going on with crude oil. Brent was trading at like 77... Let me see here. Yeah, on Jan 10th, you had it trading about $78. It really had come back down. We had it trading up almost near 77 very shortly this morning. But we're seeing it come back down again. These are very volatile within a certain boundary. There's obviously a lot of issues going on in the Middle East that kind of add to that. Libya, which is a major producer of oil, is having some strikes there. And of course, we are entering cold season as well. In my opinion, this actually, I feel like isn't as bad as it could be. Again, not necessarily stable. There's a lot of volatility. This is only within some certain percentage. And we do see that reflected in the gas prices. You know, it usually takes about like a week or two weeks or something for these major changes to be kind of reflected in the pump. And we've been enjoying some pretty low kind of costs here, at least in Florida. All things kind of considered. One second here to fix this mic. Alright, hopefully that scratching sound stops for you. Sorry about that. Let's take a look at what else we got going on. Really, let's take a look here. Bond's kind of flat today. Tesla trading down about 0.06%. Still dynamics being very comfortable at that 113 level DXY. Again, we just went over that trading at 102.36. Q's at 409.40. Google, pretty alright today, 144. We have Meta trading up nearly 4%. Nancy, if you're listening, I hope you went along on that. I know you like playing Meta there. We have Disney trading at 89.59. Apple at 186.31. And the Spy trading at 477. Let's take a look at what we got going on. I want to look at AMD quickly, right? We had a caller a few months ago asking about AMD, which I thought was interesting, right? Because the whole hand trick was, you know, take a look at NVIDIA. Everyone wanted to get NVIDIA. And we were kind of having our conversation right around here, this $90 level. My argument for AMD was that, yeah, it's not like the cutting edge for training AI, but again, this is what people use to maintain the AI once it's already trained. And I want to say, too, we'll take a look. They just released one of their new graphics card, which is the Radon RX 7600. Okay? So, you know, graphics cards are, among other things that we really know about, right? Which is like mining crypto and kind of running multiple processes parallel to one another. This is what GPUs are great at. They're used in video games, right? And this was a major issue that was going on with people who are big... The gaming industry is massive, right? Obviously, you have like your Xbox, your PS4s, but even on the computer, right? It's one of the biggest markets in the world. And it was getting hard for just general consumers to keep buying new graphics cards because they would be purchased up by all these large crypto miners and people training AI. And so AMD was kind of stepping in and be like, hey, listen, guys, we are going to provide a cost-effective GPU. It's not going to be able to do everything that a high-end Nvidia can. But for the consumer market, it's phenomenal. And I think they're finding their niche in that as well, which I think is beautiful for this equity. Of course, we're training at 148.87 right now. That's just off the yearly high, really, of about 150.97, 150.82. It's pretty good. I think the stock looks extraordinarily solid. I hope the guys spoke with in around October. I liked it. He was already in the equity anyways. So I hope he stayed in that because this is quite a nice move. And this is big move on volume, too. Obviously, I had this big trace back, and that was on just some news of AI being kind of interrupted, at least. But it came right back up. And we're taking a look at the, let's see here, let me pull it up. And so this is essentially the graphics card that they're using that's going to be out there for consumers. And again, if you're a gamer or anything like that, or just doing basic kind of homework or whatever that needs GPUs. I mean, these are 269.99, right? It's a pretty solid price. I'm at home. And that's much more in line with kind of the historical prices of buying cutting-edge GPUs just for kind of like consumer work. Folks, stay tuned. We'll be right back.
