Grand Rising. Welcome back. Welcome, welcome to another edition of the Pre-Market Movers Morning Show. Today is Thursday, April 24th, 2025, and we are getting it in as always, Tuesdays and Thursdays going, getting it to our Wall Street back, having some intelligence and articulate conversations about these mean streets of Wall Street. If you're new to this, welcome. If you're to this, welcome back. If you know some folks that should be here that you don't see, which is pretty much every morning, go ahead and ping them in. Text'em, use telepathy, whatever you gotta do. I sent, believe it or not, I sent out about three text messages this morning. Some folks are actually on my can. Please don't blame me. Please don't hold it against me. But if you could just send me a text, I swear, I'll pull up. I'm like, man I can't remember to do that for everybody. But every now and again, I do remember to shoot out some texts and I'm not above that. So I would hope nobody in the community is above sharing a link or putting or sending out a text. Like I literally reached out to people this morning.'cause some people just text me early for whatever reason, because they know I'll be up, but they don't, maybe they don't realize on Tuesdays and Thursdays I got something to do and if in the morning, but I, my reply was sent. I said, look, I'm doing a show. Here's the link you should pull up. I and I, these are people who have never been students of mine, never explicitly express interest in Wall Street, but they're people who. Have asked me questions in the past I know for a fact you didn't ask me something stock market related, but I also know you not a self-taught guru, like so many people and all that stuff, shit, they don't go to YouTube University, but they do mess around. I know that they was accumulating, but it's oh man I, that's low hanging fruit. We've had a stock market conversation before and I've never invited you to the pre-market movement. Morning show shame on me and you'll look up as people in your life. Wow. How come I didn't even write'em out? Because if you think about it, we've been doing this thing of ours. Some folks have been rolling with us for four years. So you mean to tell me in four years you haven't invited four people to the show? You know what I mean? That's the least we can do is share the gift of financial literacy with those who we love. And financial literacy is a gift that can pay dividends for an entire lifetime, pun intended. That being said, I'm just having a transparent moment. I literally invited someone out to the show today who I went to high school with. Let me add further depth to it. This is somebody I've known for 30 years. Okay? We went to high school together, and in the four years we've been doing the show, I never once thought to have this person pull up as a guest on the show, and I gotta add a asterisk. This person happens to have served two terms on Detroit City Council. So I know that she kinda has a more unforgiving career than I do. So I respected that maybe the city council person can't pull up every Tuesday and Thursday morning. But I thought about Paul you know what, nobody's above wisdom. Nobody's above knowledge. We all need it. And as I always said, no, it makes no sense for me to come over here and show and be like each one reach one. So we can teach one and make another one better if I myself am not doing a solid job of reaching. So outreach is what we all need to do. I'm starting with myself looking in the mirror. I'm setting myself up on a goal to invite a couple people every show because I know thousands of people. So I know I can grab at least a hundred folks if I just grab, reached out to two people every show before the show because I want to give a shout to Piss who was like, Ken after today's show, set up next week's show. And you know what piss that's so intelligent. That's so much so yeah, I could, it's nothing preventing me from sending the show up earlier, getting the links out there earlier. And we all do a better job of sharing it more because what the information, the conversations we have on this, in this community, are certainly worthy of a share. And you never know we could be helping out somebody. It changed their lives just from meeting us. So I'm gonna make that commitment to every show. I'm gonna invite a couple people outta my life personally, who I know who have never been on here. So I figure that's what, four people a week, 52 weeks. That's me personally inviting out a couple hundred people somebody knew was gonna join the community. It is no way 200 folks are gonna tell me no and close the door in a row. Like I, I'm not I don't have a hundred percent free throw percentage, okay? But I for sure don't have a 2% percentage. So anyway, that being said, that's a challenge I'm gonna throw out there to open the show. Good morning. We're gonna jump into it. Thank you for letting me have my little introspective moment of things that I could do to be better. So not judging anyone in the community, trying to be encouraging. And it started by looking at where I could do better, because we all could stand to do better in any capacity of our lives. So anyway, I digress. We're gonna go ahead, get ready to get into this thing of ours. We're gonna start off with brief introductions from our panel this morning for the early part, and then knock out the disclaimer and we're jumping right into it two feet. First, there's plenty to discuss this week. So I'm gonna start by passing the mic to my immediate right to the co-host with the most one and only Mr. Paris Patton. Hi. Good morning, grant Rising. Good morning everybody. Happy to be here, discuss this space. Founder and chairman of the Patton House. I help business create audio products and podcasts and yeah, we in the thick of earnest season, so it's always a lot to discuss on Wall Street. I always appreciate that, but yeah I'm laying there for now. I'm Pastor Mike. Pastor. Good morning, sir. How you doing? Goodman, hear, you know what I'm about? Pass it over to Ivan Lee. What's up y'all? Gang, gang Man, it's always good to be in a meeting collaboration session with like-minded people. I think that's a shortcut to success. So I'm excited to get this conversation going. Let's get started. Alright. All right, indeed. We're gonna go ahead and get this thing started. If you would like to participate, please do you don't have to have any special degree or certification to come up here. You just have to have a passion for financial literacy and you don't even have to contribute. Insightful aha moments. You can just ask a question. You can totally say, Hey, I don't know Jack about Jack, but I do have some questions. I'm interested and I would like to know what you guys think because that could just make, potentially help spark you to take a deeper dive in whatever it is that you're considering. So just know that you do not have to be at Wall Street Encyclopedia to come up here. You don't have to have no bars, you don't have to know how to read charts. You don't have to have made x amount of thousands or tens of thousands on Wall Street. You don't have to be no options trading expert. All you have to do is be curious. If you are curious about Wall Street, come on up or post in the chat. That's what it's there for. You do not have to be a stock market expert to share your thoughts and feelings in this community. I repeat you do. Have to be a stock market expert to share your thoughts and feelings in this community. We highly encourage you. There's no silly questions, no wrong questions, no embarrassing questions. The only disservice you could do yourself is to not ask any questions, because questions lead to answers. All right, so with that being said again, welcome to the pre-market members Morning show. All information herein is for information purposes only. What we're providing is not what's considered stock market trading advice. We're not financial planners nor advisors. We're here for educational and informational purposes only. All investments encourage some level of risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Tread lightly. Alright, so we're gonna get into it. The topic. So I did is I looked at the top of the screen and sometimes I just think quirky. I look at stuff and I love alliteration. I believe I was talking to Ivan Lee about that last week. But I look up here, it says pre-market mover is Tuesdays and Thursdays. So that's two Ts. And then I script skip past the crypto intel and I look at the Tesla, big Tesla in the middle, that's the three Ts, right? And it made me think about, it's a lot of tees that kinda are always on the radar recently. And so it made me think Tuesdays and Thursdays we talk about a lot of tees consistently. And I think that the four tees are Trump tariffs, Tesla and trends. We talk about this stuff consistently and I just thought that was what a coincidence. A lot of tees, and even though all those tees aren't the topic for today, it, I almost feels. As if I was a gambling man, which I'm not. I guess you are from trade options, right? So that's a, that's some form of ga gambling in my opinion. But it's okay. It is okay to talk about this stuff and peel these layers back till we get to the bottom of this thing. But today's topic, crypto rally we know there's been a slight rally. I didn't wanna say crypto comes back, right? Because we know that there's a such thing as bull traps out here, fake outs and things like that. So certainly need to do some more research, but seems like there's been a bounce, right? I would rather just had light rally or bounce in crypto roughly to the tune of around what, about 10% in the last week. Then we seen Bitcoin just hit back over. 92, 93 KI, I gotta pull it up. I didn't look at it right before the show. I looked at it last night. But I do know that most of the crypto stuff is seen some level of improvement. So with 9.5% yesterday, so Bitcoin holders, if you got whole coins that was an$8,000 pop right there. But you don't have to own the whole coin to benefit from the appreciation. But I don't know, is it here to stay some of these little, it seems like it's been more pops than the full, true market rebound. But that's just my opinion. We, I think that it's a lot of chop. A lot of chop. We that's what it is. There's choppy waters out here and. It's a true trader's market if you're trying to seek things out and do it that way. It's a trader's market. We have elevated levels of the vix and so that in and of itself means that there is some fear and uncertainty in the market. When you hovering around 28, like 30, 30 AIX of over 30 is like panic. It's it is a lot of fear out there and we've been floating around in the high 20 eights. Volatility is gonna always create some opportunities, but we're gonna talk about the crypto rally for those one. Chime in on that. We got Tesla on the chop block as they just had earnings come through on Tuesday. And we didn't quite have the time to. I'm sorry, on Wednesday and we didn't quite have the time to fully unpack that. So Tesla dropped their earnings yesterday and we didn't do a preview of the earnings on Tuesday show because we're talking about a lot of stuff. Can't believe we didn't really go and do a deeper dive on the elephant in the room being Tesla. We also have Intel's earnings. It's something certainly worth discussing. Cause they've been floating around the news lately and I've been creating a list of peculiar companies I'm looking at and Intel has been on there for a minute. And I, some of you guys remember I was on that micron near the end of last year and I'm not still holding it. I've been pulling my parachute, but I believe it is. We're looking at levels around$72. And I've been looking at, I've been looking at tech'cause I like turnaround stories. I don't only play the game that way, but we know that there are some sectors. Industries and specific names have been oversold. You can look at the chart, you can look at the RSI, you can look at a variety of factors, but I'm trying to set up my watch list. I'm not jumping in on much two feet first, as you guys know, I've been on my dividend accumulation phase. But there are interesting opportunities out there and I sure would like to hear from you all to get more of that. We got the so I'm creating my call, my future accumulation list after I finish getting, hitting my dividend targets. But of course we got the wall to discuss if there's any adjustments there. Plenty of earnings. So I wanna pass the mic over. I just wanna throw some things out there as far as things to be discussed. And so with that being said, I would like to pass the mic to the first speaker of the day, which would be Mr. Ivan Lee Jackson, the AI assassin. Good morning Ivan Lee. I know we've been tapping in quite a bit lately. What's the good word, brother? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I'm actually was using AI to do some research on this crypto surge. I like what you said earlier, man. You don't have to be an expert at anything. You don't have to be a specialist. Like we're just a bunch of guys that like to trade and get smart, talk about ideas and get smarter about managing our money. Investors matter experts, sorry, what'd you say? Subject matter experts. Yeah. But there's always someone in the room that knows more than you. There's always someone that knows more about something else or that has additional information that could help. For example, I, there's a lot of people in this room that probably know more about crypto than me. I'm good with ai, gonna use ai. To analyze the recent crypto search, I'm gonna contribute. I'm but I'm just saying I just want other people to keep that in mind. You can join this conversation. There's so many different perspectives that can like, help give a more clear view of the things that we're talking about. But let's see what, let's see what the AI is saying. Is the crypto resurgence for real? Yes. The crypto resurgence is real and supported by strong price action, high trading volumes, and broad participation from both retail and institutional investors. It's recently surpassed 94,000 key factors driving the surge, macro economic relief and dollar weakness, political uncertainty in the US especially criticism of the Federal Reserve and expectations for interest rate cuts has weakened the dollar and driven investors towards alternative assets like Bitcoin, institutional inflows. Oh, that's interesting. Record breaking inflows from spot. Into spot Bitcoin ETFs from major firms like BlackRock, infidelity are fueling demand with institutional buyers accumulating more Bitcoin than miners are producing. Interesting short squeeze, a massive liquidation of short positions over 545 million and a single day has forced bearish traders to buy back into the market. Accelerating price gains technical breakout. The market has broken out of a multi-month downtrend with bullish technical indicators such as moving averages and RSI supporting further upside, trade war optimism easing US China trade tensions have improved risk appetite encouraging flows into crypto as a perceived safe haven. I just got a notification while I was saying that from Walter Bloomberg saying Trump is considering cutting out auto parts from the China US trade war. AI and Trading Innovations. The launch of new AI-driven trading platforms has increased activity and interest, especially in AI related crypto tokens. So summary, the resurgence is being driven by a mix of macro economic shifts, institutional adoption, technical momentum, and changing investor sentiment. While volatility remains, the underlying factors suggest the rally is grounded in real market dynamics, not just hype. I hope that helps. Hope, hope that gives y'all some perspective. That's what the AI's saying. The AI sound like it's been trading for a grip. Hey, that been AI has been programmed to look for opportunities and advise us in safe, smart investments. Now, Ivan, is that, were you using the the AI tool that you. Bless me with the sneak preview of, yeah, that was that's bullish ai, what? That was bullish ai, my brother. Nice. Just figured I take it for a quick test run I don't know why crypto's bouncing like it is. Obviously it was up and then it went down after the newness of Trump wore off. But sometimes you just gotta get a get, get a third opinion man. And I feel like that's really what I use AI for a lot is is thinking through things, getting a better understanding of certain things. The fact that it can tap into search and so it can search for news related information and basically alchemize that in addition to the technicals and other factors and just give you some real information to work with. So you use AI as a tool essentially. You already. Started your hypothesis, you already have some bullet points as to why you're either bullish or bearish as far as your sentiment goes. So you already bring something to the table, but you using the ai like a sounding board Hey, this is what I'm thinking. You kinda already figured it out, your figured your direction in your mind or what you wanna do, but it's like before you push the button instead of some of us, because I know some of us on the back end for sure be screenshotting and texting each other pickers and levels and all kind of stuff, but instead of just kicking it with your your homies, ask them what they think you're asking the bot that you probably programmed and upload, who knows how many volumes of data into, because I'm assuming the bot is the smartest as Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, and the best of them Benjamin Graham, you name it. Out this output. Yeah. More or less man, like I use AI as almost like a consultant an on demand employee. It's if I wanted to have a, if I wanted to walk around and have a expert investment analysis person with me, like I can quickly just tap in. I trained the AI specifically for that, and I can like quickly tap into that and assess or analyze whatever ticker, whatever industry, whatever sector. I can ask it to give me ideas based on certain criteria. So if I wanna see stocks that are down X percentage, that might be a good leap. I can tell to do that. It can search the internet, it can find those stocks. So it's almost like a human assistant in a sense. I'm gonna be honest, like I expand beyond that. So the other day I was going to a hotel with someone and she had a service animal, or not even, it was like a little dog. And so I just, I wasn't sure, if the hotel can charge or whatever they were basically trying to say it's like extra$25. So I literally just pulled up chat, GPT, I got this little legal assistant, GPT that I built, and I just put it on like speaker phone, used the voice mode and just asked oh, is it illegal for hotels in New Jersey to charge for pet service animals? The voice just goes, Nope, it against federal law this, and that this, and that. So the receptionist is just listening is yeah, okay. Yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna bypass that fee. But the point being is yo, we got so much information. We literally have super computers in our pockets, and those super computers are tied to super advanced ai. It's just a crazy world we live in. I just hope everyone like, just remember to like tap into that because you just never know, like you're missing out on, imagine having all these different ex experts. It's like I'm walking around with a lawyer in my pocket. I'm walking around with a expert investor or market analysis in my pocket. I'm walking around with the best chef in my pocket. You know what I'm saying? There's so much power you can, you have with it. And I just, I dunno. I try to use it for everything I can, man. There it is. If it's a tool that's there for us, we tap in. Why not use it? Why not? I think it's definitely game changing technology that we need to embrace and for a variety of reasons. The applications are literally in almost we covered it. It's some industries that don't need AI at all. So shout out to cc, outstanding AI can't probably do a better job of of beauty right. Than our trained ex experts. But outside of that is not a lot of, and we remember it was like in that and with like spirituality or something. It was just a couple very small category of things that AI. Can't. Perfect. It might it, it could help with beauty though, too, think about it, right? AI can see. So say you open up, you can't do hair though. Check this out. Let's say you open it up, right? It can see, and now CC would be able to better give the answer to this. But you can use the AI to look at someone's face, look at someone's hair, gimme some suggestions of hairstyles. Let's say that person's not sure like what color they might wanna try or what what hairstyle they might wanna try, especially with the new GPT image creation where it creates reit multiple versions. You can take a, you can have the AI look at this person and then take a picture and then say, Hey, what would she look like with a bob with a blonde bob? Or what would she look like with blonde braids? There's ways to integrate it. There's definitely ways this person look at this person's shape. What are some good hairstyles that will better accentuate her facial shape or whatnot, right? There's. There's ways. It just takes a little bit of creativity. Talking about blind braids, that's the ghetto. GPTI don't, that's yeah, don't do the, don't do the blind braids. Chad, GPT don't have right here looking crazy in these streets. No. But that makes sense though. You could get suggestions. I guess I was thinking as a Neanderthal, as I typically do, ain't no computer about to sit up here and actually have nobody body under the in the chair. At least not now. I'm not talking about when you know, the Jetsons and when we, whenever we get there, but I'm just talking about right now don't think nobody can sit in a and the GPT can do they thing. But we'll see. I'm sure on. Shout out to Clayton. Yeah. Ghetto. GPT. Yeah. Man. If that thing kick out, say Yeah, I think some blonde braids look good on her. What we gonna do is we gonna go ahead and take a quick pause for the call to do our first reset is 9 59. We gonna come right back. We got Wyman Winbush, the Wisdom Broker on stage. We got Doul Andrews our resident, serial entrepreneur on stage. We got Chris Scott, the Save the trades in the audience. He'll be joining us soon, so y'all know what to do. Stick with us and we'll be right back after this reset with more on the good stuff. All right? All right. Great top half of the show everyone. Real quick, welcome to the Pre-Market Movers Morning show, where we talk everything Wall Street related and beyond on X Spaces Every Tuesday, Thursday, seven 30 Eastern. Six 30 central. And today's episode we're talking about crypto rally. Tesla. Tesla earnings is up and intel is up for today. And what I want to share with the family today is, I gotta be brief here. I found a clip here and the title of this clip here is pop stocks, drop as Food Stamp Ban Pushes the game. Momentum. It says, so the stocks, but I'm saying pop, okay. From the Midwest. All right, so let's see. Clip is about two minutes. This is on market domination on Yahoo Finance. So I'm gonna have the analyst here to share their take, gimme some emojis in the chat. Make sure you guys can hear me. Today, this is coming after Robert Kennedy Jr. Reporting out his intent to seek federal government's help in banning the use of food stamps to buy soda. This is according to the Washington Post. And just read through the posts report here, Julie. RFK JR pushes this ban on soda being purchased with food stamps. They say he appeared in West Virginia where the governor announced he would seek the federal government's help to bar soda purchases using food stamps. Not surprisingly, it does not sound like the beverage industry is all for this. I do see somebody from the American Beverage Association telling the posts saying what's unhelpful about this whole conversation is that soda is not driving obesity. We've become this easy punching man, they say. It's not great for you. I think we can all agree that so is not fantastic for one's health. Nonetheless it seems like the process here is what merits some attention. So the governor the states get snap authorization from the federal government. It sounds like according to the Washington Post, that actually goes through the Department of Agriculture, which is not under RFK Junior's purview. Like Rollins. Exactly. So the states would have to apply for a waiver to say you can use your snap dollars your food stamp dollars, but you can't apply it to. To these types of beverages. So we'll see if they actually make this. We'll see if her department approves it secretary in other words, they're talking about. It will actually something happen. We'll see. We'll see. Senator Secretary Brooke Rollins from agriculture did say here in a statement it sounds like, I look forward to receiving Governor Morrissey's Snap pilot request and will work swiftly to make certain West Virginia is equipped with the technical assistance and expertise to move forward. Also what happens? Okay. And that's interesting. That is interesting. To another story I don't have in front of me that's adjacent with this is that they was looking to ban certain food ingredients that's in certain parts of these snacks. Such are our snacks, our beverages, things of that nature, which I think goes hand in hand. With what's happening with the potential snap band of sodas or pops, if you will. It could present an opportunity for us to dial across average in that took a slight dip. And some of the beverages like Pepsi went down a little bit. Coca-Cola and Dr. Pepper, that's what they showed on the clip. Maybe it's something to pay attention to especially with the market being so volatile and and what's happening in the law may be a catalyst for a pullback for some of these beverage copies. So maybe you wanna add it to your watch list. Maybe you wanna add it to your watch list. I'm not saying run out two feet first and jump in, but maybe it's something you pay attention to. This is what the government is planning to do. But with that, I'm gonna land here. Make sure you follow the Instagram follow the Instagram page like all the posts, share all the posts. Mastermind Four tickets are available still for online and virtual purposes purchases. So get that as well. And also, let's not forget the PMM wall. If you got a ticket you wanna put on a wall you can say it in the chat, you can DM somebody on stage or you can come up on stage. You can give your ticker and your price target, but I'll land there. We coming in mid range on a show. We got blanks on the stage. We got the sage, we got Pit Pannu, we got Wyman, and we got Ivan Lee Jackson. And if anyone else got something they would like to say or contribute, please come up on the stage. But with that, I. Yes, sir. Thank you for that quality reset and always appreciate your clips. They're very insightful to me for sure. I'm gonna speak on it personally. I can't speak for the community, but I can definitely speak for me. And I do get positive feedback from the community about the clips. With that being said, don't do a quick touch pass and give it to my brother, Wyman Winbush, the wisdom broker. Good morning, my brother. Hey, good morning everybody. Hey, I just wanted to chime in. With regards to ai it's an invasive, pervasive, disruptive, technology's not going anywhere. It's here to stay. It's gonna impact every facet of the way we do business. And for example you're talking about sitting in the chair, right? Getting your hair done getting your hair. Did you, between where you're from, right? You consider this, it's the experience. It's not just how you look when you get up in the chair, but the experience, the conversation, the atmosphere. Now, if you are the salon owner and you have a client coming in and you know they are in this industry or this is what they do, you can quickly hit up AI to figure out what's going on in their world. You're not in their world, you don't follow it. But AI can give you up to speed about the trance and things. And I'll give you an example. I was doing a presentation to Jacksonville Electric Authority a couple weeks ago on leadership. And I was right when Doge was doing all the cuts, and I was reminding them that your employees are bringing the anxiety associated with, they don't know whether their jobs are gonna be there next week or not to the workplace. It's a disruptive element to, to the workplace. And I wanted to speak to them about the psychological safety which is now. When you're not psychologically safe, when you are worried about those things, right? I'm talking about Maslow's hierarchy and needs raised down at the bottom right, and safety and security, right? You're not working on how to please your customers the way you should be. And by the way, it may not be you, it may be a child or a spouse that's going through, but you bring that to work as well. And what I wanted to do is add some credibility to my speaking to the subject. I worked for IBM for 31 years, right? How many of IBM lays people off every now and then? Now, here's the thing. Chat, GPT or ai, whatever tool we use, ai. How many people were laid off in IBM during my 31 years? I don't know. Can I tell you something? Over 100,000 employees were laid off. From the time I started working for IBM to the time I finished in 1993 alone, 60,000 people were laid off. So now I'm coming to them with a fact, and then I'm saying I'm eminently qualified to speak to this because I worked for IBM and between 1989 in 2021 or so, over a hundred thousand people laid off 60,000 people alone in 1993, I know what I'm talking about now. AI gave me the stats. I didn't have to go to hr, I didn't have to do any search. That was a less than one minute inquiry into ai. And it gave me some credibility as I made my presentation that I would not have had when I stepped to the platform. Otherwise, I'm telling you, if you don't, if you're not leveraging this, you gotta use your imagination. AI is a tool, but your imagination is going produce the magic. And we've gotta, we've got to figure that out. Invasive technology, like online commerce. Look, I was around selling portals. They used to call'em or websites and online eat e-commerce in nine, in the late nineties. And the bank and mortar, brick and mortar banks listen to me, said there's no way anyone's going to trade stocks over the internet. They want to go into an office and talk with a broker. And so a lot of the brick and mortar icons in Wall Street, they didn't make the move. And that opened the door wide open for E-Trade and Schwab and all this good to do the e-commerce things. They would not exist if those brick and mortar folks would've used their imagination and say, Hey, there's a new sheriff in town. We're doing things a different way. I'm just saying, don't let this be you. There's opportunities here. Leverage AI while it's new and I'll close with this. If you are waiting to get on the bandwagon, if you get on the bandwagon with regards to ai, by the time you get to the party, the party's gonna be over. You gotta take some risk and you gotta get out ahead of the bandwagon. I yell, Hey, can I just add this real quick quote? Remind me of, regarded, it's a quote by Henry Ford, the guy that built Ford Motor Company a long time ago. He was on trial. Some guy said he was dumb. Henry Ford wasn't a specialist at any specific thing. He was more of a generalist. So he was on trial for being too dumb to run Ford. The, he was sitting on the on the stand. And the guy the opposing lawyer was asking him all these really hard questions specialty questions. And then Henry Ford said, look man, I'm really the smartest person in the room because I don't know the answer to any of those questions, but I know exactly who to call within my company to get the exact answer to all of those questions, right? I don't have to be a genius at. At how an engine works or how tires work or all these know specific things you're asking. All I need to know is who do I reach out to get the answer? Now, Henry Ford had a company of hundreds of maybe, probably thousands of employees at that time. So for him he had to know which employee do I call? We all have all of that knowledge in our hands, literally on our phones in ai, right? We don't have to be the smartest person in the room. I don't have to be the smartest person on Bitcoin. I can, I just have to know what question to ask my ai. I don't have to be the smartest person on geopolitics and what's happening in the world and the dynamics of whatever it is I wanna find out, right? I just have to know which AI to ask and how to ask that question like. Like this the power that we all have in our hands is like astronomical. And I think a lot of times we slip on that. We don't think creativity, like likewise in terms of what can we actually do with all this power? Imagine if you had all these different geniuses and consultants and coaches and all that at your fingertips. Like you gotta use that power. That's all. Yeah, that's true. Power is literally not figuratively, literally in our hands. So we're gonna do next is keep moving. We got believe DA next, and then we have the sage of trays. Da, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I know I've been in and out of the service, but good morning. I'm here. Great conversation. What I'd like to add to the conversation is that we're at an age right now where everyone that's listening and in the space, they need to basically learn how to use kpi. It's not I think just the basic as basic function, learn how to use it and how to incorporate it in your daily life, because that's what's gonna make the difference and how you use it moving forward and being familiar with it on the business side and what have you. It's gotta get familiar. You have to use it like how uses it, how use it as a tool, an extension of yourself. For those who've seen the movie Limitless think of it like that. Think of you are limitless if you have a tool and this this technical tool that can assist you in ideas and with the expertise of so many. And even with that being said, that doesn't mean that every answer that you get is a hundred percent accurate. You still have to crosscheck though you'll still have to get more than one source a different ai because there's different levels. At the end of the day information will always be manipulated. That's just, no, no doubt about it. But you can't stress enough how you need to use it. You don't for example I've had some situations where, let's say I, I'm dealing with someone that's can speak a language. I don't know. I wanna say something very detailed. So now with that tool, for example, let's say everything you wanna say in your most professional manner, and then you're like, okay, translate this into French, translate this into Hebrew, for example. Now you have everything you wanted to say without looking and pausing and searching for SL words. And you can send that in a document and an email in a text message. And this increased your communication just by you thinking a little bit out the box and saying, how can I use this? I'm in a foreign country like my brother pitch us in Thailand, and let's say he covers Los and said no English, and he wants real detailed information on something he can say. It translated. And ties from this specific region just to give you people an example of how to use it and just, but my goal is my, my point is that you have to just get familiar. There's a reason why China is instituting this for their six year olds as part of their curriculum. It's not just acknowledging it. They're teaching them how to use it, and I'll find the article or post it in the group. So there's a lot a lot to be done. We're on the exciting times and it's just a lot to monitor with things that you said. Ken, I heard what the tariffs, the teases and all that I wanted to add. There's a reason why and there's a reason why if all that stuff is true as far as Trump peeling back some of the tariffs and things like that. I look at it like. You're the reason why you're backing up, because you're seeing the effect of something, it's like a parent child thing and you issue all these punishments or to your child and then you start feeling bad, like you don't like the result. You're like, you know what? You're not gonna be punished for a month. You gonna be punished for a week. Then the week becomes a day we're gonna, we're gonna take advantage of the weather situation In a sense. I look at it like that in just lamees terms, but there's a reason why if all that is true, why they're doing that, and that's because of the power China has that we, from a previous conversation and you and retaliation at the end of the day when partner as person. For the greater good. There's a reason why you're doing that. If you feel you're superior. Nobody that feels totally superior in any situation is gonna start bargaining, is gonna start walking back what they said what they said, and you either deal with it or you don't. The minute you start peeling back, you're showing a different position, you're showing a different level of respect for that opposition. So that's what I'm saying. That's why you have to look at it. Just zoom out and look at it from what It's in simplest terms that's how I look at it. But I know it, it's a lot to say there's other people on stage, but I just wanted to add that, my 2 cents on it, your 2 cents always feels like 10 cents, brother. We appreciate it. Sincerely. Alright we gotta go to. Chris Scott, the sage of trades next. Just know, just'cause someone lands the plane don't mean that the conversation is over. They're just landing their portion of contribution for that moment.'cause we always can circle back.'cause I think through conversations we stimulate other points or things we, oh, I should've said that. Or you know what? Matter of fact, because you said this, that's making me think of that. And that's why I love us coming together as a community to really break that thing down.'cause all of us are smart people, right? None of us, as Ivan Lee was saying earlier, none of us are the expert per se. However, in a room with a bunch of intelligent people having purpose-driven conversations, we will come out of it with some expertise. Even though we're now all individual experts, our conversations can lead to pro profound insights. So bring it. Don't hold back. Please don't hold your gift back from the world. I know I used to be I used to hold back quite a bit in my life over the years, just being a shy guy. I wasn't comfortable with sharing everything I thought and felt with everybody. Every idea, feeling business venture or whatever.'cause some folks are just not in your circ that you wouldn't realize aren't your encouragers. They aren't the folks that wanna see you win or open the door or point you in the right direction. So I used to be very protective of my thoughts and it takes time. Some people need. To come outta their shell, if you will. And that I knew that had to happen with me. And maybe for some it's got to happen with you. I see your hand. That's so we get your hand real quick and then we're gonna go say the trades. That's, so we gonna say something or you just yeah, I'm sorry. I wanted to just say something real quick because I know they had brought up the salon thing for those who don't know, that was my first trade and I'm a master barber by trade currently. And I guess when it comes to ai barbers and salon salons, and I guess you think of. It's about the relationship. That's why we feel like our job and our trade is safe, because at the end of the day, yeah, okay. Let's say they build a robot that can do 3 million hairstyles and what have you. That human being that's getting that haircut or that hair, that, the relationship with that robot. No, a lot of things are just, things come to a relationship. So that's a bond that exists between the beautician, the hairstylist, the nail technician with their customers. So I guess we tend to feel our position and not as secure, but that doesn't mean there isn't ways to incorporate the ai into that business. Perhaps enhance that enhance the experience. I put that out there. But I just feel, and I'm guilty of it, I pretty feel, I pretty much feel that our position is secure because of the relationship we have with the individual said client. So I just wanted to speak on that real quick. Hey. Hey. To Wyman's point, though, to Wyman's point, that's what those old brokers used to think. They was like, nah, he to, they're not gonna come in and they're not gonna, they're not gonna want to make trades online, sitting in their pajamas. They're gonna want to come into the office and talk to a broker. They want that relationship. Yo, sometimes man especially as these different generations get used to doing things from their phone. It we can't, it is hard to predict what that relationship's gonna look like 10 years from now. But something to think about. Good. Good morning, Ken. Can I chime in real quick on that? That's very interesting. Good morning. I just wanna say something actually, brother Ivan Lee and then Toul what he was saying about the relationship, that's our generation. The 40 plus and maybe even a 30 plus year olds, right? We we used to like to go to the barber shop and have shop talk and all this and be there for three, four hours and Yeah. When we had hair Exactly right. Exactly that part too. But then as I got older, I, my time became more valuable and I didn't have time to sit at the barbershop for three hours and just kick in and talk shop with the fellas, right? But then when you think about the younger generation, and I don't know, the gen Z or whatever it is millennials. They don't have necessarily, and this, I'm, this is a general statement, but it holds true to a lot. And I just see their social skills aren't the same as our social skills, right? So for them, I don't know if the relationship part matters as much. For them it's convenience expediency, right? They want everything right now. Quick, fast, keep it moving. So the rapport building and the relationship building part for them, I don't think matters as much as it did for us. So I could see that not being a thing for them, like it was for our generation. So the interaction part is probably less important for them. So I just wanted to throw that out there. We gotta keep in mind who we're talking about and what the future looks like. What Ivan Lee was saying. No, that I'm feel like I'm not being attacked anymore. I can respond over here. Over here acting like it ain't a whole Gen Z or slash millennial. I was born November 96, so I'm literally on the cusp. You can call me a og, gen Z, or you can call me a little boy millennial. Either way. And then I got baby Boomer, gen X value being raised. However, I do agree with that. And then the other reason is just I go with the club scene and I don't know how this is gonna relate, but I'm pretty sure it will. Just piggybacking off your point, like in clubs, y'all used to talk, be very social. You know what I'm saying? Now you got a club you pull up with the Instagram, Hey, can I get your Instagram? It is I really don't want to talk and do stuff. But at the same time, it's you can say we don't have social skills, but at the same time, there's no reward from having a short-term conversation with somebody. You know what I'm saying? It's I would rather get your Instagram and see who you are as a person. Understand that before I add that into my life, because we'll added a different layer of access. You don't have to have a whole 30 minute conversation, take them on two days and then be like this person's trash. It's go on Instagram. Be like, oh, got it. You know what I'm saying? So well see. Pits the pits and see, that's my thing with social media, right? You don't know what's real because you go on somebody's Instagram page, like I can post anything on Instagram. And you're like, oh this person, they always, they got a yacht or they always traveling, or they always doing this, or they look like that, but you don't know if that's real or not, right? You can feed through, you can filter through I can not filter. BS by having a one-on-one conversation. Seeing someone's body language, seeing if they're actually giving you eye contact when they speak all, you can't get that through social media. And that's the part what I'm saying about the social skills aspect of it. You're, and this is not a, this is not a knock pitch on you or anybody your age, but I'm just saying you all rely on things that may not be real to make a determination about someone's value or who they may or may not be in real life. And that's not real life. Talk about it. It's like the likes and followers in Clinton. No, for sure. Just like you by Arrow. When you had to get a girl's number and you might, you couple days to speak to her or just getting a number, lemme ask you this. There was value in that getting a number like you, there was, it was a sport right. And females may have thought on the same on the other side. Like, how many dudes approached me and asked me for my number or tried to buy me a drink? That was the thing. And the same thing for the fellas. Oh, I got her number, or I got three numbers tonight. It was something be, but you had to actually have a conversation to get, you couldn't just walk up to somebody say, Hey, lemme get your number. You could, I'm saying if somebody would, but for the most part, a, a young lady, a young woman they wanted you to have an engage with them, have a conversation with them. Let's discuss before I give you a phone number because me giving you my phone number or them giving your phone number, that's letting you into their personal space. And there was value in your personal space. I think with social media now, it devalued people's personal space because people post everything now. It also let ask you this,'cause you would be able to you would know, right? I think what's changed or what's changing is that. The value that you have online, that you have socially is almost more valuable than like real life, right? If you can present yourself in a certain way socially, if you can present that image if you have clout, if you have followers and likes and you have a network you value at least'cause Gen Z, I believe, and again, pitch, you can probably speak to this better, but like when Gen Z is networking and connecting and looking at different potential value, since so much of their business and world is online, that's the value they're looking for. Finding someone who may have zero followers, zero likes, but is just kick got all the information hidden away in a hut on the corner of the street is less valuable to most Gen Z people doing business than someone who's like actually online. And I. Has that social proof, but pitch. What's your thought on that? That's so sad. That's so sad, brother Ivy League. But that's so true, but so sad in the same breath. What was the question? Go ahead, pit. I know y'all ain't gonna cap. I'll stand on business. Y'all done cut me off like four times. I, what was the question? Nah, the question is what's more important, like for Gen Z? Like what's more important, right? Like someone's online presence. When you're looking to connect, what are you looking at first? What is most Gen Z people looking at first in terms of like just valuing that connection? Definitely the Instagram first. I just I feel like I got a different school of thought than a lot of people.'cause folks will get on Instagram and see somebody taking vacations and doing this and that and they'll be like, oh, he got money. I I'm cool with that. But my first thing is, okay, do your parents have money or are you scamming or are you running up dead? And now that I'm start, I'm, and again, once you like, we're like in the mid adolescence of social media now. Again, I was here when Kick and Bebo was the number one thing, you know what I'm saying? Almost got on my space before it got shut down. So I've seen the whole evolution of this and how things in the cultures have gone from our our view and our lens and stuff like that. But I would say we're getting to the age now with me almost pushing 30, being 28 and stuff, we kinda realize somebody's just posting all this. The question is how are you doing this? So it's a little different and people are starting to ask questions and with all the credit and stuff, people who hitting all these thousand dollars vacations oh, they be NPL, that thing. And they already got 70,000 in student loans, so they having fun. But by the time they 40 they gonna be in a whole different situation.'cause they're enjoying life while they're young. They're pulling the grasshoppers and not the ant tactics. So that's my answer to that. I league. So what do you look for when you like, like what are the good things you look for? Like when you're, when you what, like what impresses you when you meet someone, you trade Instagram. What impresses you? I don't get impressed. Me. I'm looking for what they do. I don't get impressed either. I, you talking about from a dating scene? Nah. Just from a networking scene. So for me, when I'm networking, I'm looking at what they do. I gotta say that out loud. I'm happily on no. I'm just saying like, when I'm looking at like for me, I would come across your page and I would see okay, he's he understands online marketing, he understands social media. He's a film. He's doing film. I can see some of his work that he does, right? Because it's it's almost like our digital house is how we really represent and show ourselves to the world. And like, when I look like I get it, there's a lot of people that start and pretend they just have money, but they're not really doing anything that, that doesn't, I just scroll past that. But if I see someone. Holding a networking event that caters to me or my people or speaking about AI or does something that's synergistic to any of my businesses or helps entrepreneurs or you get what I'm saying? That's what impresses me and I can see that quicker scrolling their Instagram than I can in a 20 minute conversation. Yeah again, I would say, Ken, I'll let you hold up. Lemme let see what you said. Oh no, he just responded to that. Again, it depends on what you're looking at. A lot of people like to flex on Instagram. And a lot of people. And I start, and I'm about to start making more content about it. And speaking of content, y'all need to go to the page, like follow, share, all that. You know what I'm saying? Help me out. Help us out. Each one, teach one, make another one grow. I get it right one day, Ken. But you know what I'm saying, but it's the what you're doing.'cause a lot of people they'll go in there and they'll scope out how people live and how people doing and stuff. But I make a conscious effort not to show that on my Instagram, because I've learned not to lead. People who actually got money, they don't want you to know you have money. And that'd be like the other thing about being on the side of it.'cause it's like, bro unless you got like rapper money or you just living crazy, which is, which happens, I see traders and scammers and do stuff. They got the bread, but the acquisition of the bread is not sustainable, you know what I'm saying? And that the way that they're using it, it's not gonna work. I don't know how to answer your question. It's just kind of something that you gotta feel around and see, if you didn't looked at the person, you see how they are, you know what I'm saying? If you get their Instagram, you would get an understanding of how they, because a lot of, hold up let me, some people can be stuck up and then you'll see how they act. You'll see they have a lot of followers because they look good. But personality wise, and this can be men and women, they just aren't a good person or they don't have any work ethic or they don't have any job. Yeah. You look okay. Yeah. Or good, great model status and you post all these extravagant pictures of you in Miami and stuff. But baby, how you got to Miami? I can't get to Miami right now. You ain't got a job, you ain't got a job. How you get down there, sir, how are you over, how you paying for all these bottles in the club last I checked on your story and your close friends, you didn't have a car. You know I'm saying. So like we, we spending a thousand dollars in the club on bottles to stand in the dark room with people who probably don't care about you, but you don't have a car to get to work. I don't know, it's just stuff that you can feel around and see. And it's a lot of people who just aren't being wise with they bread. And I think because so many people aren't being wise with your bread, only the people who are wise can skim and see tur type of stuff. I know what this is. I want to, you don't wanna just go ahead and do the reset, narcans, I already said I'm 30, so lemme get, lemme just get one little, one little thing real quick, y'all, because it kind of ties, ties what the old school way and the new school way. I think that the most efficient way to do it is like, how I use social media. If I'm checking someone out, is I I had that first 20 minute conversation. I wanna know what you do, how you do like what do you do? Where can we, where's the potential exchange of value between what I do and what you do, right? Then I'm gonna get your social, me social media. Then I'm gonna go check out, check you out online. Do you post about the things that you say you do? Does it add up? Can I visually see you doing the things you say you do? If you're a financial analyst, are you on social media talking about smart financial things? Are, you know what I'm saying? Does it add up? Does it add up? And it's yeah, I think that's the quickest way, right? Like just talk, but then use social media as a way to verify. All right, let's go to the sage trays and we'll hit this reset. You, me first, or you the reset First we the, and then she, we should do the reset. Let's go to reset and then we come and let Sage cook. Ken, how you hold up Who doing the reset? You are Oh. We gotta work on your, you need the g you need me to GP to it. Y'all y'all got y'all relationship bag on how y'all date online or whatever. I just man, let's get to the market. Let's it's all about let's get into these stocks. Okay? We, you know what I'm saying? Welcome to the pre-market movies, morning show. We're live on X Spaces every Tuesday and Thursday at seven 30 Eastern, 6:30 AM central to tap in. We break down everything beyond Wall Street, but also in Wall Street and give you the news and insights that you actually need. And we want you to be a part of this convo. We've had several people, we had several people hop on the stage and we had a few people drop a message, but it's always good to go ahead and drop a couple more and pop up a little bit more. You know what I'm saying? Big shout out to our sponsors, the French Schwab Brothers drinks, Cilla cc, outstanding self trade, and Doc Andrews just a few. Also Pi nor Media Marketing. And, we enjoy everybody being a part of the show. Wanna shout out other people in the crowd, such as just money gone here. Come up here. Just, you know what I'm saying? St. Felix, I ain't heard from you in a minute. Tiffany. R the Francois Brothers. You know I'm gonna keep calling y'all out. I'm seeing y'all's faces. I'm gonna keep calling y'all out. Kim. Tanya seats Spike Jay. Oh that's far. He seats Spike j All y'all long hair pop up. Say something in the chat for us. We can keep going with the show on you self, not selfish. Save a trade you need. Oh my God. I'm just so used to saying selfish is Oh my God. But yeah he was here earlier actually, so that's probably why as well. Yeah, I'm not used to selfish not being here. I actually got a little bit of a message. Sorry about the background noise. I'm at the airport right now getting ready for draft day. One more time. I'm praying for my cousin up in Stout so he can go ahead and go second round instead of third, and we can get the multiple millions coming our way. So we gonna pray for that. I just wanna talk about God's timing real quick because it is really incredible. When you sit back and you be patient, you wait for God to tell you what to do, like I've been telling y'all, just sit back and wait for this market to storm through and then when the opportunities come, like I told you, on video is gonna go under 100. It just did it two days ago and it's gonna do it again. I will probably hold off until it's in the 79 range. That's when I'm buying Nvidia for my first time. I'm buying it at 79. You think it's gonna get the 20 again, bro. It might. It might. I have my first bice at 79 and then I have another buy order set at 60. I dunno if that order's gonna get filled, but I do know the 79 gonna, you see you, the type of man I wanna deal with right there. You setting buy orders so you don't even, when it happens, it's already automatically done. I didn't think about that brother. Exactly. You definitely gotta be more quantitative than qualitative, which is trades. Like I've been saying, let's trades higher conviction. But when God tells you to go ahead and do it's time to do it. Like I, I just wanna let y'all know that I recently got into a car accident and all kinds of stuff happened and actually I ended up just buying a new car and a new house in Dallas. So we gonna praise God for that. And definitely got some things coming up around the corner. But be careful with this market because it is still continuing a rollercoaster and be ready to set out your capital. When it's time to count, I will let y'all know. I will tweet it out. I will ping y'all, let y'all won me to, I will let y'all know it's time to buy, but it's not time to buy yet. Just let the going up down a rollercoaster and we'll be back on schedule in days. So you mentioned 90 days. Say that was wild. I just wanna say that you, the type of man I wanna deal with wild. Why does everybody say I'd be wild? I just be saying my, like literally about five different groups of people that have unrelated stuff say to say, how, what did I do? That was wild. This time. Clayton, please enlighten me. Big brother. 19. You the type of man I wanna deal with. That was just crazy dog. Sorry. Go ahead. A pause moment, a hard pause. I got you. I give you that one. Yeah, I give you that one. Hey. But I will say my statements have brought up St. Felix, so I'm gonna tell everybody to be quiet. I'm gonna hear St. Felix talk. I conjured that man uphill. I need what you got for St. Felix. Hey. Okay. Okay. I'm just listening right now. I'm just enjoying the the show. I haven't been on entire week or so, so watching the market hold up. You sound the speakers a little low. What you said same Felix? I said I heard you said you ain't been on in a week or so. What else? Oh, wait hold on. My, my audio mic still be off like that. I'm trying to figure out what to do today. I dunno if I'm taking off or I'm going bullish or ish or what the market is. Keep going up with all these headlines right now. It's crazy. Indeed. Same. Felix, you back? Yeah. Can you hear me better now? Yeah, it's a bit better. Yeah, I was just saying I'm just listening. I haven't been up in week or so, so I'm just partaking. I hear you. I hear you man. Definitely appreciate that. Yeah, for sure. Appreciate you coming up on the stage, man. You know what I'm saying? Any type of questions you got you on the stage, ask it, drop it in the chat, however you wanna do it, man, market wise. I mean it's we gotta play it by airman'cause we just saw, I just saw something that said that Trump didn't Trump said something about Asian orange, said something about, china talks, but China said, when you talk to what you talking about, dog, you know what I'm saying? You haven't reached out to us. They did that. James Franco, when they said that, they said, what? Who you talk to China. You know what I'm saying? And that's so funny, man. The fake news is started to be fake news. I'm like, bro, it's the circus has to end. We're talking about the bedrock of the, of not even the American financial the world. It's it was cool and it was funny at first, good opportunities, but now it's like true ambiguity. Hold up bro. Do I need to like, sell everything right quick? I ain't selling my Nvidia. Going back to my last statement, I'm trying to see that thing. My average cost on Nvidia 24. So you say$7. I'm like it's a little high. You know what I'm saying? I hate to buy 10 stocks and then my average price. No. I got hate to see my average price go up higher and stuff like that. But it is what it is. I'd say long term is the biggest thing man, and even with Bitcoin,'cause a lot of people saying Bitcoin is high right now. But the thing is, if you have forward looking, if you're looking forward at the asset and you're looking at it for a 10 year horizon if you are just dumping bread in there right now, a lot of stuff is assumed to be a lot higher in 10 years. Unless something very bad happens very suddenly, which will present a better opportunity for you to buy at lower rate. So yeah, all I got to say on that other thing, y'all need to see the movie Sins man. I'm probably gonna go and see it for the third time. So I opened it night a few nights ago, gonna see it again. It's amazing work as a visual artist. Michael B. Jordan did his thing. Ryan Kler did his thing as well. A third showing. I did not stutter Kenneth. That's wild. You thought it was that good, you said? I'm, I've heard it's that good. It's not even about it myself. I saw it, so I'm just, I ain't I? All right. At the same time, you gotta realize I'm in Birmingham, Alabama, so being able to see some of this older stuff,'cause like we got thrown until all the humanitarian efforts and stuff like that, like literally we are seeing the kids get sprayed with the hoses as. Kids, they're like, this is folks your age was getting hit with these fire hoses and these dogs and stuff. It hit me in a different way seeing the movie, but then seeing all the all the sudden things realizing that the the antagonist was multifaceted, like Ryan Cooper, stuff like that. Yeah. I like how you, I like your word choice. Don't ruin it for the people, because I'm sure a bulk of the community haven't seen Yeah. I'm I know how to talk creatively without giving it away. You feel me? I appreciate that, Kenneth. You know what I'm saying? But I just said he was multifaceted. That's all. You know what I'm saying? It's just a lot of things in there that I would like everybody to enjoy and see, but I'll pass it over to some most stock stuff. I'm about to actually pull out a chart. I'll hand it over to somebody else so I can speak on that chart. I think we got UL's hand while you getting charts, but I would like to hear from both of you and the sage as far as what levels because Sage said we, we need to, hold on. We still got some more downside. I'm looking to hear some potential levels that we're looking at for the spy and stuff like that. I know we had Tesla Earnest just came out. We haven't done a recap on that yet. And that was that's an elephant in the room And I wanted to get on Intel a little bit as well. I know we put a lot in the AI and touched on crypto. I saw DA's hand earlier, but I got you circle. Yeah, doubt we know. Hey brother. We know, and we had a good conversation the other week about it, so we're gonna give it to the sage and then we'll spin the block on pitch, pulling up the charts, and then we got Da Sage. What you got, brother? I'm still on my same threshold. I'm principal. Buy-in my turn. My, my goal is long-term buying right now, just because there's not a better time. The long-term buy when you got the market at discounts, like it's right now, but it's going lower. I've got my price set, my first buy price set at 5 0 5, and then my next set is at 4 88. So that's what I'm looking at and my buying until market those, it gave us a little preview what, two weeks ago? We got down to four 90 it Oh, eight days, couple days ago. Yeah. True. I was thinking about when it took that bigger dip a couple weeks ago, but it seemed like that might have been a bear trap because now we're getting some, again, facts. I'm calling earnings right now because if you what's news right now, it's bad. It's not good. So that's where I guess, the confusion comes in because the news is bad, right? But folks have been getting excited, folks have been loading up and accumulating trying to call early lows, but you're saying that they when the president can tweet and tell you to buy stocks, everybody's gonna get excited. That doesn't mean that's where the stock is going. It just means that's his best impression of where the stock is going right now. But if you're looking at it long term, play the macro, not the macro's always gonna give you the whole thing instead of a little bit. Alright, there it is. Let's say what was intriguing when he did mention that by statement, the DJ t did spike. It did, yeah. That, that was interesting from one of the, because I don't think it was the overall market as far as the latest mention of him saying bye because it looked like the second time. I think the first time was when the, after the second initial tariff talk. Like after April 7th or so when the market rebound? Yeah, he said it recently and it did affect his stop personally. That wasn't it. He's gonna keep right on. He's gonna keep playing against because DJ T is up, believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, over 31% in the last week, up 31% in the last week. And that's a sleeper that DJ TA lot of us abandoned it after the election. I know some folks speculated on it'cause it was getting so much volatility, but now you see the actual power of Trump's words affecting Marcus and spoke up DJ T 31.5% rally in the last week alone. I don't have none. But that's some risk out there. You want to play in the mud a little bit. You can, and there's nothing wrong with participating in some of this risky stuff. You just don't, you don't bet the ranch on it. You have to control your allocation of capital to these type of plays because some of'em are super tripped out like even with the crypto stuff we know it's not just the coins it's the other related entities like the miners and things like that. I know I've had a love hate relationship with Riot. Some of this stuff is tripped out here. Some of them getting into some of these, it's etf. Attached to crypto performance. It's just a lot going on. And with the volatility and the Trump tweets and the tariff talks and the, it's just a perfect storm for traitors who, overstand volatility. You have to overstand it, right? Volatility with stocks beta if you, in the options imply volatility, what does this stuff, what does this stuff mean? Because Trump's words does affect that stuff, right? When I mentioned the vix, when I opened up the show, that's the the fear gauge and there's certain levels involved in it. If it's under 15, it's peaceful. It's peaceful water, it's calm waters. When it gets above 30, it's the water you might. Rock the boat too much and right now we're like a 28. So there is a lot of fear and uncertainty in the market. And that's not just opinion is in the numbers, is in the math. The only reaction you can count on in this market is overreaction. So make sure you put some funds on the side and just like Renee to either overreact to the upside and play your puts or play to the downside and play calls when they go down. So either way, that'll be your best be all. There it is. And for brother da, we're gonna go ahead do this quick pivot. We need to do the earnings recap on. TSLA. Of course, their ticket, their first quarter report is a key event on the earnest calendar with the results unveiled after Tuesday's close. Wall Street got a glimpse of what was to come following the release of the electric vehicle company's delivery numbers earlier this month in the three months ending March 31st, Tesla produced 345,454 vehicles and delivered 323,800 vehicles representing a year over year decline of 16% and 12% respectively. As for the rest of the results, Tesla said earnings plunged 40% year over year to 27 cents per share, while revenue slumped 9% to 19.3 billion. Analysts expected the company to report earnings per share of 42 cents on revenue of 21.5 billion. It's been a rough stretch for Tesla shareholders with the stock down 41% for the year to date quote, the company has become a political lightning rod explains Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Quote, thanks to Elon Musk. Key role at the Department of Government efficiency, better known as Doge. Ick goes on to say that major element of a major element of Tesla is its futurism with hopes for robo taxis, robotics, and other inventions playing an integral role in its rich valuation. Having a quote visionary who is busy with the day-to-day mechanics of government bureaucracy is highly unlikely to be simultaneously making concrete PO progress towards those corporate goals he adds. So that's the Kiplinger's Ernie report up on. The Tesla earnings. Anybody in the room have any feelings towards Tesla and good morning self trade. Yeah. What's going on everybody? You guys know I like Tesla let's talk about it. Yeah. Bad news. It it was bad earnings, right? Something we expected. One of the things that pushed the stock to the upside was basically him stepping down from those, right? So that's what the shareholders wanted to see, and the shareholders basically pushed the stock to the upside. So that's something that you gotta love, right? As far as China like I explained to people the Chinese are not they're number two, right? I don't wanna get into that again, but the thing is they're making deals in other countries. So you got China factories in Vietnam, you got China factories in India. You see how they taking over Africa. So the thing is like. You see what happened with SPS and P 500, right? We was do, we were supposed to be doing talks with China. Guess what? The s and p popped to the upside. And as of today the Chinese authority came by and said, Hey, we haven't made no fault yet to America. No deal has been done or worked down. So you, I, you just can't gotta love it, right? You gotta news. Yeah. That's all I got for. There it is. The white guy making yeah. Right now looking at the charts we're we continue to make lower highs and things like that I need to I don't know why I chose to analyze this on my laptop, just to come in here and then make a conversation. Let me fix this chart. But we continue to make lower highs right now and we're at a ceiling where we try to break over this breaking hole consistently for a couple of sessions over. I think this is 5 37 right now, so we're teetering around the 200 EMA on the four hour chart, I'm about to pop in. My big thing that I noticed, I've been following this line and I've noticed that we've been respectful to this line, but I feel like the moment that we are not respectful to this line, that things are gonna break loose. And I'm about to add this chart. I got a blue line that we've been tapping up against all the way since 2020. All the way since 2020, and we did tap this line on April 14th, and when it happened, we got a shot back up, a strong green candle back up with a lot of volume. If you I'm gonna put the chart in, excuse all these additional lines. It might be hard to see. I don't know how to allow you to see it a little bit better without these lines, but yeah, I'm about to pop it in the chart. Are you posting it from Trading View? Who is that? This is St as are you posting it from trading View? Yeah. I'm about to post this chart from trading View right now. There's a there's a eyeball on the left side. You see the eyeball, like under the lock button. Hold all he trying to game me now. I don't see the eyeball. Are you trying to, are you saying he's trying to share it or something? No. You could actually. Make all the lines disappear for a moment. Hold. It's my it's not like the volume and the, when I say lines, it's like all of my levels, horizontal lines that I've drawn. I don't think that's what I mean. Oh shit. How you doing? Yeah. The are you, do you have trading via the desktop app or are you on the browser? No, I'm on the app on my on my phone. Your phone, okay. Yeah, phone might be a little different. Jago. But I screenshots are powerful. My boy, they've gotten less manage trouble. Gen Z stuff, man. We use our, they use their phone for anything, computer, laptop. That's crazy you say that. If we forward to the beginning of this conversation, I believe you said we got the power of the oracle in our pockets, you feel me? It would only be. Correct to use the power of said Oracle. You know what I'm saying? Oh. I commend DI commend D Oh, not the Ds. That's saying that yesterday was national space. I wanna throw something out there real quick that I found interesting. And this is a shout out to Wyman, the Wisdom Broker. Like IBM another blue chip tech company, INTC one that actually made our radar for the topic of the day. Recent article says, Intel's stock surges as chip maker reportedly plans to cut 20% of his workforce. And so the stock surges, and some people look at the same thing, but see two different, two different storylines. Some people act oh man. Intel's been a dog stock and now they laying people off. It's gonna keep going down and the market's down and tariffs and all that, and they can paint that story. But a lot of times when big companies cutting 20% of your staff is significant, right? Who knows how much? I guess that's easy to find out, right? I'm not gonna GPT it, I'm gonna do my old school. I'm gonna Yahoo, finance it and do it that way. But over here it says, Intel has 108,900 full-time employees. If they gotta, if everybody cut 20% of their staff, that's a significant amount of biweekly payroll deductions that aren't gonna come outta their business checking account. It's all kind of health insurance policies. They don't have to pay for 401k matching. They don't have to outlay. So I personally think that layoffs could be a big benefit to big companies keep more money in their war chest and do better things. But I'm just was throwing that out there.'cause Wman was giving us some of the rundown of historic things that happen from a layoff perspective when he was working at IBM. For folks in the room, the e the big companies like IBM, Intel, all those guys, they have economists full-time on their staff. A lot of'em came from government, right? The same folks who forecast what the GDP is gonna be in et cetera. They're working for corporate. And so they have an over the horizon view of what the economy's gonna look like 90 days out, 180 days out, et cetera. And they're saying, if the economy's gonna be bad in December, right? And our sales are gonna go down because of it, our, one of our biggest costs. Is labor. And so you talking about just in time inventory, right? There's just in time labor force. If I know the economy's gonna be bad and my sales are gonna be down, I'm gonna try to neutralize that that loss by shedding some, getting some stuff off the plane. I gotta get over this mountain. We not gonna make it over this unless I start some cargo off the and a lot times equates into. So what they're doing is they preemptive strike, if you would, preempt preemptive actions in anticipation of an economy where people got their hands on their wallet and it's to keep it in their pocket and not to pull out money to spend. And you'll see that in a lot of the big corporations who are forecasting a a down economy or God forbid a recession, they're, they gonna make those headcount moves now. They're not gonna wait until it comes out. Alright? You and you are. As of right now, I can't Yeah, going back to what I was saying right before I got off pastor Mike. Yes, Esther. Oh, you are correct. This trend line. And I I just fall in love with charting like this because it's about pattern recognition and shapes, not exactly formations of candlesticks as I am growing to learn with different types of patterns, but just the way the stocks behave with trend lines. I feel like trend lines support and resistance should be like the first thing anybody does with charting because it's visually represented by just moving the candles around and it's based off of price, action and volume and things like that. But again, it's just a simplistic way if you have access to the correct software. So what I showed, in the chat and way, I would actually tell you to go and look at what Esther O placed Hers looks way better and it it is perfectly what I'm trying to say, but there's been a trend line, or it's perfectly what I'm true to what I'm trying to say, however you want to conjugate that word or phrase. But there's a trend line that we've been tapping on since 2022. And I was going to go gungho and liquefy something and just put it in puts.'cause I knew if we broke this trend line, we would it would be a sense of chaos because of how again, 2020 happened and then we bounced off the top of it. Okay, cool. Then we had another event in October 6th, 2022 where we started tapping. Then January 9th, 23, we came close Janu March 16th, 2023 became close, but then we tapped it again October 31st, 2023. So we have three taps, which definitely signifies it being a true trend line. And that is something to be measured when we're looking at the continuity, if I may say, of the market. But now when you get to the fact that we bounced off of it April 4th, if I'm not mistaken, the week of April 4th or April 7th, I think it's Monday, April 7th this year. It's okay, cool. We understand we're a bearish market with lower highs and stuff, but would this be a springboard or are we gonna come down and test it again? And that's what I'm looking at because again, when we did test it, if you zoom in, you can go on your own. You can make it from 2022 if you wanna look at S'S chart. But if you zoom in on this time period, there's just a lot going on. And if you look at the amount of volume that happened right here on this day, if you, I'm looking at it on the daily, like the amount of volume that happened when it tapped the candle has not been seen again since, let's see, 20, 20 covid times. And this is just me saying numbers to you, like I'm looking at this on a desktop, I'm looking at the volume. There was a volume spike. Very, okay, I'll take that back. We had a trend in volume on the 20, on January 28th, 2022, we had a volume spike. But again, between the trend line and between. It just the volume and the confluence and looking at other things. It's just something to be very abreast about. I feel like we will go lower, but if we hit this line, that is definitely the elevator down. I wanna pass to the same Felix and then wrap it up with anybody else, Ken. Lemme see these messages. All right, so two things. We could, I was gonna speak on the with the intel with the layoffs. If y'all ever seen Jamie Diamond documentary or like how he got into his position and everything is history. That's a part of the territory and what makes companies profitable and favorable and look nice to the stock market is laying off people. Because that was like the first thing that Jamie Diamond I think did at both of the companies that he worked at. Because I know some people might look at it strange, like, why is the company going up when they're laying people off? Second on trading I found it for the mobile version. If you click on that, that drawing tool it should be like a pen, a pencil with a little squiggly line pits. If you click on that top section, you scroll over to the right, you should see the eyeball and just a little dropdown next to it to specify what you wanna hide, whether it's drawings or indicators, be bet I'm away from my phone this second. I'm talking to my AirPod, so I'll check that out. My gut, and I appreciate you doing the do and showing me that. I definitely need to start using that more often. I will say, y'all know, it's 8 0 7. Y'all know how Ken gets Yeah I just got one thing, right? So I, Beto I know, go ahead. And I can be long, I just be short on this because the one, the only thing is that, the only thing is that nobody mentioned the new CEO, right? So the thing is when you get a new boss, a new CEO that's running the company, he is gonna come in. Just like with me when I come in, when I work for a new company, I see how I can save money. And if that's only we as employees have this sentiment of you stand loyal to a company, right? A company would do what's best for shareholders if I, if this company trades on a public stock exchange. It's gonna do what's best for the shareholders and what's best for the shareholders. It's best for the company. So if that means to cutting 20% or 20,000 people you just have to do it, especially with the technology that's out right now. So I like it. And we own it, right? So we've been making money. I it, yeah, Intel's definitely on my long-term rebound list and I still got my eye on Micron as well. I'm working on a list. I'm gonna come here and I'm gonna throw my second half of 20, 25 picks out there. I encourage everybody to talk about the wall, but I don't talk much about what I got on the wall, but I think that's something I'll come back and share next week just so y'all can pick it apart. I want to get the contrarian view. I think that's what you learn the most. I think a lot of times people seek. Information that supports their hypothesis versus just seeking the truth. And the truth is the truth. And that's what I wanna know. I care more about that than finding articles that be like, yeah you right kid. You right. Tell me I'm wrong. I wanna hear that. I want to hear those bars, they mean the most. But that being said, pitch is everything I do. Good. I do Just got one thing here. Yes sir. So I'm in London, right? And I'm going down the street way and it's like people are different from America. So I I just encourage people to just travel to like different countries and just take a Uber, take a taxi, just drive through like different neighborhoods and because it's amazing that you see that it is, people are not the same. They, I even in America, right? Every, you can tell we Americans, but when you come over here I can't identify an American at all. You gotta fight. I about to say they say you ask somebody for questions in London, you gonna get responded to with a blade with a K bar. What? Yeah, they don't have guns. They be walking up and just walk away from, I like, whoa. I'd rather get shot than stabbed. Easy. Would you? Yeah. Yeah. I would, I don't want nobody pressing up against me putting like their physical strength into That's different. You get shot. We can talk about calibers all day, you know what I'm saying? Flesh in and out. You getting stabbed is different. Okay. Tough guy. What we gonna do is we gonna go ahead and wrap the show up, wrap the show up, and we have had a good show today. So everything's, everything is answering in order. Any this is last call. Last call. Anybody wanna say anything before we tap in next week? Anybody? You are opening the can for yourself, Ken, I close it, I put a bow on it, but you open the package. I love your analogies.
Grand Rising. Welcome back. Welcome, welcome to another edition of the Pre-Market Movers Morning Show. Today is Thursday, April 24th, 2025, and we are getting it in as always, Tuesdays and Thursdays going, getting it to our Wall Street back, having some intelligence and articulate conversations about these mean streets of Wall Street. If you're new to this, welcome. If you're to this, welcome back. If you know some folks that should be here that you don't see, which is pretty much every morning, go ahead and ping them in. Text'em, use telepathy, whatever you gotta do. I sent, believe it or not, I sent out about three text messages this morning. Some folks are actually on my can. Please don't blame me. Please don't hold it against me. But if you could just send me a text, I swear, I'll pull up. I'm like, man I can't remember to do that for everybody. But every now and again, I do remember to shoot out some texts and I'm not above that. So I would hope nobody in the community is above sharing a link or putting or sending out a text. Like I literally reached out to people this morning.'cause some people just text me early for whatever reason, because they know I'll be up, but they don't, maybe they don't realize on Tuesdays and Thursdays I got something to do and if in the morning, but I, my reply was sent. I said, look, I'm doing a show. Here's the link you should pull up. I and I, these are people who have never been students of mine, never explicitly express interest in Wall Street, but they're people who. Have asked me questions in the past I know for a fact you didn't ask me something stock market related, but I also know you not a self-taught guru, like so many people and all that stuff, shit, they don't go to YouTube University, but they do mess around. I know that they was accumulating, but it's oh man I, that's low hanging fruit. We've had a stock market conversation before and I've never invited you to the pre-market movement. Morning show shame on me and you'll look up as people in your life. Wow. How come I didn't even write'em out? Because if you think about it, we've been doing this thing of ours. Some folks have been rolling with us for four years. So you mean to tell me in four years you haven't invited four people to the show? You know what I mean? That's the least we can do is share the gift of financial literacy with those who we love. And financial literacy is a gift that can pay dividends for an entire lifetime, pun intended. That being said, I'm just having a transparent moment. I literally invited someone out to the show today who I went to high school with. Let me add further depth to it. This is somebody I've known for 30 years. Okay? We went to high school together, and in the four years we've been doing the show, I never once thought to have this person pull up as a guest on the show, and I gotta add a asterisk. This person happens to have served two terms on Detroit City Council. So I know that she kinda has a more unforgiving career than I do. So I respected that maybe the city council person can't pull up every Tuesday and Thursday morning. But I thought about Paul you know what, nobody's above wisdom. Nobody's above knowledge. We all need it. And as I always said, no, it makes no sense for me to come over here and show and be like each one reach one. So we can teach one and make another one better if I myself am not doing a solid job of reaching. So outreach is what we all need to do. I'm starting with myself looking in the mirror. I'm setting myself up on a goal to invite a couple people every show because I know thousands of people. So I know I can grab at least a hundred folks if I just grab, reached out to two people every show before the show because I want to give a shout to Piss who was like, Ken after today's show, set up next week's show. And you know what piss that's so intelligent. That's so much so yeah, I could, it's nothing preventing me from sending the show up earlier, getting the links out there earlier. And we all do a better job of sharing it more because what the information, the conversations we have on this, in this community, are certainly worthy of a share. And you never know we could be helping out somebody. It changed their lives just from meeting us. So I'm gonna make that commitment to every show. I'm gonna invite a couple people outta my life personally, who I know who have never been on here. So I figure that's what, four people a week, 52 weeks. That's me personally inviting out a couple hundred people somebody knew was gonna join the community. It is no way 200 folks are gonna tell me no and close the door in a row. Like I, I'm not I don't have a hundred percent free throw percentage, okay? But I for sure don't have a 2% percentage. So anyway, that being said, that's a challenge I'm gonna throw out there to open the show. Good morning. We're gonna jump into it. Thank you for letting me have my little introspective moment of things that I could do to be better. So not judging anyone in the community, trying to be encouraging. And it started by looking at where I could do better, because we all could stand to do better in any capacity of our lives. So anyway, I digress. We're gonna go ahead, get ready to get into this thing of ours. We're gonna start off with brief introductions from our panel this morning for the early part, and then knock out the disclaimer and we're jumping right into it two feet. First, there's plenty to discuss this week. So I'm gonna start by passing the mic to my immediate right to the co-host with the most one and only Mr. Paris Patton. Hi. Good morning, grant Rising. Good morning everybody. Happy to be here, discuss this space. Founder and chairman of the Patton House. I help business create audio products and podcasts and yeah, we in the thick of earnest season, so it's always a lot to discuss on Wall Street. I always appreciate that, but yeah I'm laying there for now. I'm Pastor Mike. Pastor. Good morning, sir. How you doing? Goodman, hear, you know what I'm about? Pass it over to Ivan Lee. What's up y'all? Gang, gang Man, it's always good to be in a meeting collaboration session with like-minded people. I think that's a shortcut to success. So I'm excited to get this conversation going. Let's get started. Alright. All right, indeed. We're gonna go ahead and get this thing started. If you would like to participate, please do you don't have to have any special degree or certification to come up here. You just have to have a passion for financial literacy and you don't even have to contribute. Insightful aha moments. You can just ask a question. You can totally say, Hey, I don't know Jack about Jack, but I do have some questions. I'm interested and I would like to know what you guys think because that could just make, potentially help spark you to take a deeper dive in whatever it is that you're considering. So just know that you do not have to be at Wall Street Encyclopedia to come up here. You don't have to have no bars, you don't have to know how to read charts. You don't have to have made x amount of thousands or tens of thousands on Wall Street. You don't have to be no options trading expert. All you have to do is be curious. If you are curious about Wall Street, come on up or post in the chat. That's what it's there for. You do not have to be a stock market expert to share your thoughts and feelings in this community. I repeat you do. Have to be a stock market expert to share your thoughts and feelings in this community. We highly encourage you. There's no silly questions, no wrong questions, no embarrassing questions. The only disservice you could do yourself is to not ask any questions, because questions lead to answers. All right, so with that being said again, welcome to the pre-market members Morning show. All information herein is for information purposes only. What we're providing is not what's considered stock market trading advice. We're not financial planners nor advisors. We're here for educational and informational purposes only. All investments encourage some level of risk, and past performance is not indicative of future results. Tread lightly. Alright, so we're gonna get into it. The topic. So I did is I looked at the top of the screen and sometimes I just think quirky. I look at stuff and I love alliteration. I believe I was talking to Ivan Lee about that last week. But I look up here, it says pre-market mover is Tuesdays and Thursdays. So that's two Ts. And then I script skip past the crypto intel and I look at the Tesla, big Tesla in the middle, that's the three Ts, right? And it made me think about, it's a lot of tees that kinda are always on the radar recently. And so it made me think Tuesdays and Thursdays we talk about a lot of tees consistently. And I think that the four tees are Trump tariffs, Tesla and trends. We talk about this stuff consistently and I just thought that was what a coincidence. A lot of tees, and even though all those tees aren't the topic for today, it, I almost feels. As if I was a gambling man, which I'm not. I guess you are from trade options, right? So that's a, that's some form of ga gambling in my opinion. But it's okay. It is okay to talk about this stuff and peel these layers back till we get to the bottom of this thing. But today's topic, crypto rally we know there's been a slight rally. I didn't wanna say crypto comes back, right? Because we know that there's a such thing as bull traps out here, fake outs and things like that. So certainly need to do some more research, but seems like there's been a bounce, right? I would rather just had light rally or bounce in crypto roughly to the tune of around what, about 10% in the last week. Then we seen Bitcoin just hit back over. 92, 93 KI, I gotta pull it up. I didn't look at it right before the show. I looked at it last night. But I do know that most of the crypto stuff is seen some level of improvement. So with 9.5% yesterday, so Bitcoin holders, if you got whole coins that was an$8,000 pop right there. But you don't have to own the whole coin to benefit from the appreciation. But I don't know, is it here to stay some of these little, it seems like it's been more pops than the full, true market rebound. But that's just my opinion. We, I think that it's a lot of chop. A lot of chop. We that's what it is. There's choppy waters out here and. It's a true trader's market if you're trying to seek things out and do it that way. It's a trader's market. We have elevated levels of the vix and so that in and of itself means that there is some fear and uncertainty in the market. When you hovering around 28, like 30, 30 AIX of over 30 is like panic. It's it is a lot of fear out there and we've been floating around in the high 20 eights. Volatility is gonna always create some opportunities, but we're gonna talk about the crypto rally for those one. Chime in on that. We got Tesla on the chop block as they just had earnings come through on Tuesday. And we didn't quite have the time to. I'm sorry, on Wednesday and we didn't quite have the time to fully unpack that. So Tesla dropped their earnings yesterday and we didn't do a preview of the earnings on Tuesday show because we're talking about a lot of stuff. Can't believe we didn't really go and do a deeper dive on the elephant in the room being Tesla. We also have Intel's earnings. It's something certainly worth discussing. Cause they've been floating around the news lately and I've been creating a list of peculiar companies I'm looking at and Intel has been on there for a minute. And I, some of you guys remember I was on that micron near the end of last year and I'm not still holding it. I've been pulling my parachute, but I believe it is. We're looking at levels around$72. And I've been looking at, I've been looking at tech'cause I like turnaround stories. I don't only play the game that way, but we know that there are some sectors. Industries and specific names have been oversold. You can look at the chart, you can look at the RSI, you can look at a variety of factors, but I'm trying to set up my watch list. I'm not jumping in on much two feet first, as you guys know, I've been on my dividend accumulation phase. But there are interesting opportunities out there and I sure would like to hear from you all to get more of that. We got the so I'm creating my call, my future accumulation list after I finish getting, hitting my dividend targets. But of course we got the wall to discuss if there's any adjustments there. Plenty of earnings. So I wanna pass the mic over. I just wanna throw some things out there as far as things to be discussed. And so with that being said, I would like to pass the mic to the first speaker of the day, which would be Mr. Ivan Lee Jackson, the AI assassin. Good morning Ivan Lee. I know we've been tapping in quite a bit lately. What's the good word, brother? Good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I'm actually was using AI to do some research on this crypto surge. I like what you said earlier, man. You don't have to be an expert at anything. You don't have to be a specialist. Like we're just a bunch of guys that like to trade and get smart, talk about ideas and get smarter about managing our money. Investors matter experts, sorry, what'd you say? Subject matter experts. Yeah. But there's always someone in the room that knows more than you. There's always someone that knows more about something else or that has additional information that could help. For example, I, there's a lot of people in this room that probably know more about crypto than me. I'm good with ai, gonna use ai. To analyze the recent crypto search, I'm gonna contribute. I'm but I'm just saying I just want other people to keep that in mind. You can join this conversation. There's so many different perspectives that can like, help give a more clear view of the things that we're talking about. But let's see what, let's see what the AI is saying. Is the crypto resurgence for real? Yes. The crypto resurgence is real and supported by strong price action, high trading volumes, and broad participation from both retail and institutional investors. It's recently surpassed 94,000 key factors driving the surge, macro economic relief and dollar weakness, political uncertainty in the US especially criticism of the Federal Reserve and expectations for interest rate cuts has weakened the dollar and driven investors towards alternative assets like Bitcoin, institutional inflows. Oh, that's interesting. Record breaking inflows from spot. Into spot Bitcoin ETFs from major firms like BlackRock, infidelity are fueling demand with institutional buyers accumulating more Bitcoin than miners are producing. Interesting short squeeze, a massive liquidation of short positions over 545 million and a single day has forced bearish traders to buy back into the market. Accelerating price gains technical breakout. The market has broken out of a multi-month downtrend with bullish technical indicators such as moving averages and RSI supporting further upside, trade war optimism easing US China trade tensions have improved risk appetite encouraging flows into crypto as a perceived safe haven. I just got a notification while I was saying that from Walter Bloomberg saying Trump is considering cutting out auto parts from the China US trade war. AI and Trading Innovations. The launch of new AI-driven trading platforms has increased activity and interest, especially in AI related crypto tokens. So summary, the resurgence is being driven by a mix of macro economic shifts, institutional adoption, technical momentum, and changing investor sentiment. While volatility remains, the underlying factors suggest the rally is grounded in real market dynamics, not just hype. I hope that helps. Hope, hope that gives y'all some perspective. That's what the AI's saying. The AI sound like it's been trading for a grip. Hey, that been AI has been programmed to look for opportunities and advise us in safe, smart investments. Now, Ivan, is that, were you using the the AI tool that you. Bless me with the sneak preview of, yeah, that was that's bullish ai, what? That was bullish ai, my brother. Nice. Just figured I take it for a quick test run I don't know why crypto's bouncing like it is. Obviously it was up and then it went down after the newness of Trump wore off. But sometimes you just gotta get a get, get a third opinion man. And I feel like that's really what I use AI for a lot is is thinking through things, getting a better understanding of certain things. The fact that it can tap into search and so it can search for news related information and basically alchemize that in addition to the technicals and other factors and just give you some real information to work with. So you use AI as a tool essentially. You already. Started your hypothesis, you already have some bullet points as to why you're either bullish or bearish as far as your sentiment goes. So you already bring something to the table, but you using the ai like a sounding board Hey, this is what I'm thinking. You kinda already figured it out, your figured your direction in your mind or what you wanna do, but it's like before you push the button instead of some of us, because I know some of us on the back end for sure be screenshotting and texting each other pickers and levels and all kind of stuff, but instead of just kicking it with your your homies, ask them what they think you're asking the bot that you probably programmed and upload, who knows how many volumes of data into, because I'm assuming the bot is the smartest as Warren Buffet, Peter Lynch, and the best of them Benjamin Graham, you name it. Out this output. Yeah. More or less man, like I use AI as almost like a consultant an on demand employee. It's if I wanted to have a, if I wanted to walk around and have a expert investment analysis person with me, like I can quickly just tap in. I trained the AI specifically for that, and I can like quickly tap into that and assess or analyze whatever ticker, whatever industry, whatever sector. I can ask it to give me ideas based on certain criteria. So if I wanna see stocks that are down X percentage, that might be a good leap. I can tell to do that. It can search the internet, it can find those stocks. So it's almost like a human assistant in a sense. I'm gonna be honest, like I expand beyond that. So the other day I was going to a hotel with someone and she had a service animal, or not even, it was like a little dog. And so I just, I wasn't sure, if the hotel can charge or whatever they were basically trying to say it's like extra$25. So I literally just pulled up chat, GPT, I got this little legal assistant, GPT that I built, and I just put it on like speaker phone, used the voice mode and just asked oh, is it illegal for hotels in New Jersey to charge for pet service animals? The voice just goes, Nope, it against federal law this, and that this, and that. So the receptionist is just listening is yeah, okay. Yeah, we're gonna, we're gonna bypass that fee. But the point being is yo, we got so much information. We literally have super computers in our pockets, and those super computers are tied to super advanced ai. It's just a crazy world we live in. I just hope everyone like, just remember to like tap into that because you just never know, like you're missing out on, imagine having all these different ex experts. It's like I'm walking around with a lawyer in my pocket. I'm walking around with a expert investor or market analysis in my pocket. I'm walking around with the best chef in my pocket. You know what I'm saying? There's so much power you can, you have with it. And I just, I dunno. I try to use it for everything I can, man. There it is. If it's a tool that's there for us, we tap in. Why not use it? Why not? I think it's definitely game changing technology that we need to embrace and for a variety of reasons. The applications are literally in almost we covered it. It's some industries that don't need AI at all. So shout out to cc, outstanding AI can't probably do a better job of of beauty right. Than our trained ex experts. But outside of that is not a lot of, and we remember it was like in that and with like spirituality or something. It was just a couple very small category of things that AI. Can't. Perfect. It might it, it could help with beauty though, too, think about it, right? AI can see. So say you open up, you can't do hair though. Check this out. Let's say you open it up, right? It can see, and now CC would be able to better give the answer to this. But you can use the AI to look at someone's face, look at someone's hair, gimme some suggestions of hairstyles. Let's say that person's not sure like what color they might wanna try or what what hairstyle they might wanna try, especially with the new GPT image creation where it creates reit multiple versions. You can take a, you can have the AI look at this person and then take a picture and then say, Hey, what would she look like with a bob with a blonde bob? Or what would she look like with blonde braids? There's ways to integrate it. There's definitely ways this person look at this person's shape. What are some good hairstyles that will better accentuate her facial shape or whatnot, right? There's. There's ways. It just takes a little bit of creativity. Talking about blind braids, that's the ghetto. GPTI don't, that's yeah, don't do the, don't do the blind braids. Chad, GPT don't have right here looking crazy in these streets. No. But that makes sense though. You could get suggestions. I guess I was thinking as a Neanderthal, as I typically do, ain't no computer about to sit up here and actually have nobody body under the in the chair. At least not now. I'm not talking about when you know, the Jetsons and when we, whenever we get there, but I'm just talking about right now don't think nobody can sit in a and the GPT can do they thing. But we'll see. I'm sure on. Shout out to Clayton. Yeah. Ghetto. GPT. Yeah. Man. If that thing kick out, say Yeah, I think some blonde braids look good on her. What we gonna do is we gonna go ahead and take a quick pause for the call to do our first reset is 9 59. We gonna come right back. We got Wyman Winbush, the Wisdom Broker on stage. We got Doul Andrews our resident, serial entrepreneur on stage. We got Chris Scott, the Save the trades in the audience. He'll be joining us soon, so y'all know what to do. Stick with us and we'll be right back after this reset with more on the good stuff. All right? All right. Great top half of the show everyone. Real quick, welcome to the Pre-Market Movers Morning show, where we talk everything Wall Street related and beyond on X Spaces Every Tuesday, Thursday, seven 30 Eastern. Six 30 central. And today's episode we're talking about crypto rally. Tesla. Tesla earnings is up and intel is up for today. And what I want to share with the family today is, I gotta be brief here. I found a clip here and the title of this clip here is pop stocks, drop as Food Stamp Ban Pushes the game. Momentum. It says, so the stocks, but I'm saying pop, okay. From the Midwest. All right, so let's see. Clip is about two minutes. This is on market domination on Yahoo Finance. So I'm gonna have the analyst here to share their take, gimme some emojis in the chat. Make sure you guys can hear me. Today, this is coming after Robert Kennedy Jr. Reporting out his intent to seek federal government's help in banning the use of food stamps to buy soda. This is according to the Washington Post. And just read through the posts report here, Julie. RFK JR pushes this ban on soda being purchased with food stamps. They say he appeared in West Virginia where the governor announced he would seek the federal government's help to bar soda purchases using food stamps. Not surprisingly, it does not sound like the beverage industry is all for this. I do see somebody from the American Beverage Association telling the posts saying what's unhelpful about this whole conversation is that soda is not driving obesity. We've become this easy punching man, they say. It's not great for you. I think we can all agree that so is not fantastic for one's health. Nonetheless it seems like the process here is what merits some attention. So the governor the states get snap authorization from the federal government. It sounds like according to the Washington Post, that actually goes through the Department of Agriculture, which is not under RFK Junior's purview. Like Rollins. Exactly. So the states would have to apply for a waiver to say you can use your snap dollars your food stamp dollars, but you can't apply it to. To these types of beverages. So we'll see if they actually make this. We'll see if her department approves it secretary in other words, they're talking about. It will actually something happen. We'll see. We'll see. Senator Secretary Brooke Rollins from agriculture did say here in a statement it sounds like, I look forward to receiving Governor Morrissey's Snap pilot request and will work swiftly to make certain West Virginia is equipped with the technical assistance and expertise to move forward. Also what happens? Okay. And that's interesting. That is interesting. To another story I don't have in front of me that's adjacent with this is that they was looking to ban certain food ingredients that's in certain parts of these snacks. Such are our snacks, our beverages, things of that nature, which I think goes hand in hand. With what's happening with the potential snap band of sodas or pops, if you will. It could present an opportunity for us to dial across average in that took a slight dip. And some of the beverages like Pepsi went down a little bit. Coca-Cola and Dr. Pepper, that's what they showed on the clip. Maybe it's something to pay attention to especially with the market being so volatile and and what's happening in the law may be a catalyst for a pullback for some of these beverage copies. So maybe you wanna add it to your watch list. Maybe you wanna add it to your watch list. I'm not saying run out two feet first and jump in, but maybe it's something you pay attention to. This is what the government is planning to do. But with that, I'm gonna land here. Make sure you follow the Instagram follow the Instagram page like all the posts, share all the posts. Mastermind Four tickets are available still for online and virtual purposes purchases. So get that as well. And also, let's not forget the PMM wall. If you got a ticket you wanna put on a wall you can say it in the chat, you can DM somebody on stage or you can come up on stage. You can give your ticker and your price target, but I'll land there. We coming in mid range on a show. We got blanks on the stage. We got the sage, we got Pit Pannu, we got Wyman, and we got Ivan Lee Jackson. And if anyone else got something they would like to say or contribute, please come up on the stage. But with that, I. Yes, sir. Thank you for that quality reset and always appreciate your clips. They're very insightful to me for sure. I'm gonna speak on it personally. I can't speak for the community, but I can definitely speak for me. And I do get positive feedback from the community about the clips. With that being said, don't do a quick touch pass and give it to my brother, Wyman Winbush, the wisdom broker. Good morning, my brother. Hey, good morning everybody. Hey, I just wanted to chime in. With regards to ai it's an invasive, pervasive, disruptive, technology's not going anywhere. It's here to stay. It's gonna impact every facet of the way we do business. And for example you're talking about sitting in the chair, right? Getting your hair done getting your hair. Did you, between where you're from, right? You consider this, it's the experience. It's not just how you look when you get up in the chair, but the experience, the conversation, the atmosphere. Now, if you are the salon owner and you have a client coming in and you know they are in this industry or this is what they do, you can quickly hit up AI to figure out what's going on in their world. You're not in their world, you don't follow it. But AI can give you up to speed about the trance and things. And I'll give you an example. I was doing a presentation to Jacksonville Electric Authority a couple weeks ago on leadership. And I was right when Doge was doing all the cuts, and I was reminding them that your employees are bringing the anxiety associated with, they don't know whether their jobs are gonna be there next week or not to the workplace. It's a disruptive element to, to the workplace. And I wanted to speak to them about the psychological safety which is now. When you're not psychologically safe, when you are worried about those things, right? I'm talking about Maslow's hierarchy and needs raised down at the bottom right, and safety and security, right? You're not working on how to please your customers the way you should be. And by the way, it may not be you, it may be a child or a spouse that's going through, but you bring that to work as well. And what I wanted to do is add some credibility to my speaking to the subject. I worked for IBM for 31 years, right? How many of IBM lays people off every now and then? Now, here's the thing. Chat, GPT or ai, whatever tool we use, ai. How many people were laid off in IBM during my 31 years? I don't know. Can I tell you something? Over 100,000 employees were laid off. From the time I started working for IBM to the time I finished in 1993 alone, 60,000 people were laid off. So now I'm coming to them with a fact, and then I'm saying I'm eminently qualified to speak to this because I worked for IBM and between 1989 in 2021 or so, over a hundred thousand people laid off 60,000 people alone in 1993, I know what I'm talking about now. AI gave me the stats. I didn't have to go to hr, I didn't have to do any search. That was a less than one minute inquiry into ai. And it gave me some credibility as I made my presentation that I would not have had when I stepped to the platform. Otherwise, I'm telling you, if you don't, if you're not leveraging this, you gotta use your imagination. AI is a tool, but your imagination is going produce the magic. And we've gotta, we've got to figure that out. Invasive technology, like online commerce. Look, I was around selling portals. They used to call'em or websites and online eat e-commerce in nine, in the late nineties. And the bank and mortar, brick and mortar banks listen to me, said there's no way anyone's going to trade stocks over the internet. They want to go into an office and talk with a broker. And so a lot of the brick and mortar icons in Wall Street, they didn't make the move. And that opened the door wide open for E-Trade and Schwab and all this good to do the e-commerce things. They would not exist if those brick and mortar folks would've used their imagination and say, Hey, there's a new sheriff in town. We're doing things a different way. I'm just saying, don't let this be you. There's opportunities here. Leverage AI while it's new and I'll close with this. If you are waiting to get on the bandwagon, if you get on the bandwagon with regards to ai, by the time you get to the party, the party's gonna be over. You gotta take some risk and you gotta get out ahead of the bandwagon. I yell, Hey, can I just add this real quick quote? Remind me of, regarded, it's a quote by Henry Ford, the guy that built Ford Motor Company a long time ago. He was on trial. Some guy said he was dumb. Henry Ford wasn't a specialist at any specific thing. He was more of a generalist. So he was on trial for being too dumb to run Ford. The, he was sitting on the on the stand. And the guy the opposing lawyer was asking him all these really hard questions specialty questions. And then Henry Ford said, look man, I'm really the smartest person in the room because I don't know the answer to any of those questions, but I know exactly who to call within my company to get the exact answer to all of those questions, right? I don't have to be a genius at. At how an engine works or how tires work or all these know specific things you're asking. All I need to know is who do I reach out to get the answer? Now, Henry Ford had a company of hundreds of maybe, probably thousands of employees at that time. So for him he had to know which employee do I call? We all have all of that knowledge in our hands, literally on our phones in ai, right? We don't have to be the smartest person in the room. I don't have to be the smartest person on Bitcoin. I can, I just have to know what question to ask my ai. I don't have to be the smartest person on geopolitics and what's happening in the world and the dynamics of whatever it is I wanna find out, right? I just have to know which AI to ask and how to ask that question like. Like this the power that we all have in our hands is like astronomical. And I think a lot of times we slip on that. We don't think creativity, like likewise in terms of what can we actually do with all this power? Imagine if you had all these different geniuses and consultants and coaches and all that at your fingertips. Like you gotta use that power. That's all. Yeah, that's true. Power is literally not figuratively, literally in our hands. So we're gonna do next is keep moving. We got believe DA next, and then we have the sage of trays. Da, good morning. Good morning. Good morning. I know I've been in and out of the service, but good morning. I'm here. Great conversation. What I'd like to add to the conversation is that we're at an age right now where everyone that's listening and in the space, they need to basically learn how to use kpi. It's not I think just the basic as basic function, learn how to use it and how to incorporate it in your daily life, because that's what's gonna make the difference and how you use it moving forward and being familiar with it on the business side and what have you. It's gotta get familiar. You have to use it like how uses it, how use it as a tool, an extension of yourself. For those who've seen the movie Limitless think of it like that. Think of you are limitless if you have a tool and this this technical tool that can assist you in ideas and with the expertise of so many. And even with that being said, that doesn't mean that every answer that you get is a hundred percent accurate. You still have to crosscheck though you'll still have to get more than one source a different ai because there's different levels. At the end of the day information will always be manipulated. That's just, no, no doubt about it. But you can't stress enough how you need to use it. You don't for example I've had some situations where, let's say I, I'm dealing with someone that's can speak a language. I don't know. I wanna say something very detailed. So now with that tool, for example, let's say everything you wanna say in your most professional manner, and then you're like, okay, translate this into French, translate this into Hebrew, for example. Now you have everything you wanted to say without looking and pausing and searching for SL words. And you can send that in a document and an email in a text message. And this increased your communication just by you thinking a little bit out the box and saying, how can I use this? I'm in a foreign country like my brother pitch us in Thailand, and let's say he covers Los and said no English, and he wants real detailed information on something he can say. It translated. And ties from this specific region just to give you people an example of how to use it and just, but my goal is my, my point is that you have to just get familiar. There's a reason why China is instituting this for their six year olds as part of their curriculum. It's not just acknowledging it. They're teaching them how to use it, and I'll find the article or post it in the group. So there's a lot a lot to be done. We're on the exciting times and it's just a lot to monitor with things that you said. Ken, I heard what the tariffs, the teases and all that I wanted to add. There's a reason why and there's a reason why if all that stuff is true as far as Trump peeling back some of the tariffs and things like that. I look at it like. You're the reason why you're backing up, because you're seeing the effect of something, it's like a parent child thing and you issue all these punishments or to your child and then you start feeling bad, like you don't like the result. You're like, you know what? You're not gonna be punished for a month. You gonna be punished for a week. Then the week becomes a day we're gonna, we're gonna take advantage of the weather situation In a sense. I look at it like that in just lamees terms, but there's a reason why if all that is true, why they're doing that, and that's because of the power China has that we, from a previous conversation and you and retaliation at the end of the day when partner as person. For the greater good. There's a reason why you're doing that. If you feel you're superior. Nobody that feels totally superior in any situation is gonna start bargaining, is gonna start walking back what they said what they said, and you either deal with it or you don't. The minute you start peeling back, you're showing a different position, you're showing a different level of respect for that opposition. So that's what I'm saying. That's why you have to look at it. Just zoom out and look at it from what It's in simplest terms that's how I look at it. But I know it, it's a lot to say there's other people on stage, but I just wanted to add that, my 2 cents on it, your 2 cents always feels like 10 cents, brother. We appreciate it. Sincerely. Alright we gotta go to. Chris Scott, the sage of trades next. Just know, just'cause someone lands the plane don't mean that the conversation is over. They're just landing their portion of contribution for that moment.'cause we always can circle back.'cause I think through conversations we stimulate other points or things we, oh, I should've said that. Or you know what? Matter of fact, because you said this, that's making me think of that. And that's why I love us coming together as a community to really break that thing down.'cause all of us are smart people, right? None of us, as Ivan Lee was saying earlier, none of us are the expert per se. However, in a room with a bunch of intelligent people having purpose-driven conversations, we will come out of it with some expertise. Even though we're now all individual experts, our conversations can lead to pro profound insights. So bring it. Don't hold back. Please don't hold your gift back from the world. I know I used to be I used to hold back quite a bit in my life over the years, just being a shy guy. I wasn't comfortable with sharing everything I thought and felt with everybody. Every idea, feeling business venture or whatever.'cause some folks are just not in your circ that you wouldn't realize aren't your encouragers. They aren't the folks that wanna see you win or open the door or point you in the right direction. So I used to be very protective of my thoughts and it takes time. Some people need. To come outta their shell, if you will. And that I knew that had to happen with me. And maybe for some it's got to happen with you. I see your hand. That's so we get your hand real quick and then we're gonna go say the trades. That's, so we gonna say something or you just yeah, I'm sorry. I wanted to just say something real quick because I know they had brought up the salon thing for those who don't know, that was my first trade and I'm a master barber by trade currently. And I guess when it comes to ai barbers and salon salons, and I guess you think of. It's about the relationship. That's why we feel like our job and our trade is safe, because at the end of the day, yeah, okay. Let's say they build a robot that can do 3 million hairstyles and what have you. That human being that's getting that haircut or that hair, that, the relationship with that robot. No, a lot of things are just, things come to a relationship. So that's a bond that exists between the beautician, the hairstylist, the nail technician with their customers. So I guess we tend to feel our position and not as secure, but that doesn't mean there isn't ways to incorporate the ai into that business. Perhaps enhance that enhance the experience. I put that out there. But I just feel, and I'm guilty of it, I pretty feel, I pretty much feel that our position is secure because of the relationship we have with the individual said client. So I just wanted to speak on that real quick. Hey. Hey. To Wyman's point, though, to Wyman's point, that's what those old brokers used to think. They was like, nah, he to, they're not gonna come in and they're not gonna, they're not gonna want to make trades online, sitting in their pajamas. They're gonna want to come into the office and talk to a broker. They want that relationship. Yo, sometimes man especially as these different generations get used to doing things from their phone. It we can't, it is hard to predict what that relationship's gonna look like 10 years from now. But something to think about. Good. Good morning, Ken. Can I chime in real quick on that? That's very interesting. Good morning. I just wanna say something actually, brother Ivan Lee and then Toul what he was saying about the relationship, that's our generation. The 40 plus and maybe even a 30 plus year olds, right? We we used to like to go to the barber shop and have shop talk and all this and be there for three, four hours and Yeah. When we had hair Exactly right. Exactly that part too. But then as I got older, I, my time became more valuable and I didn't have time to sit at the barbershop for three hours and just kick in and talk shop with the fellas, right? But then when you think about the younger generation, and I don't know, the gen Z or whatever it is millennials. They don't have necessarily, and this, I'm, this is a general statement, but it holds true to a lot. And I just see their social skills aren't the same as our social skills, right? So for them, I don't know if the relationship part matters as much. For them it's convenience expediency, right? They want everything right now. Quick, fast, keep it moving. So the rapport building and the relationship building part for them, I don't think matters as much as it did for us. So I could see that not being a thing for them, like it was for our generation. So the interaction part is probably less important for them. So I just wanted to throw that out there. We gotta keep in mind who we're talking about and what the future looks like. What Ivan Lee was saying. No, that I'm feel like I'm not being attacked anymore. I can respond over here. Over here acting like it ain't a whole Gen Z or slash millennial. I was born November 96, so I'm literally on the cusp. You can call me a og, gen Z, or you can call me a little boy millennial. Either way. And then I got baby Boomer, gen X value being raised. However, I do agree with that. And then the other reason is just I go with the club scene and I don't know how this is gonna relate, but I'm pretty sure it will. Just piggybacking off your point, like in clubs, y'all used to talk, be very social. You know what I'm saying? Now you got a club you pull up with the Instagram, Hey, can I get your Instagram? It is I really don't want to talk and do stuff. But at the same time, it's you can say we don't have social skills, but at the same time, there's no reward from having a short-term conversation with somebody. You know what I'm saying? It's I would rather get your Instagram and see who you are as a person. Understand that before I add that into my life, because we'll added a different layer of access. You don't have to have a whole 30 minute conversation, take them on two days and then be like this person's trash. It's go on Instagram. Be like, oh, got it. You know what I'm saying? So well see. Pits the pits and see, that's my thing with social media, right? You don't know what's real because you go on somebody's Instagram page, like I can post anything on Instagram. And you're like, oh this person, they always, they got a yacht or they always traveling, or they always doing this, or they look like that, but you don't know if that's real or not, right? You can feed through, you can filter through I can not filter. BS by having a one-on-one conversation. Seeing someone's body language, seeing if they're actually giving you eye contact when they speak all, you can't get that through social media. And that's the part what I'm saying about the social skills aspect of it. You're, and this is not a, this is not a knock pitch on you or anybody your age, but I'm just saying you all rely on things that may not be real to make a determination about someone's value or who they may or may not be in real life. And that's not real life. Talk about it. It's like the likes and followers in Clinton. No, for sure. Just like you by Arrow. When you had to get a girl's number and you might, you couple days to speak to her or just getting a number, lemme ask you this. There was value in that getting a number like you, there was, it was a sport right. And females may have thought on the same on the other side. Like, how many dudes approached me and asked me for my number or tried to buy me a drink? That was the thing. And the same thing for the fellas. Oh, I got her number, or I got three numbers tonight. It was something be, but you had to actually have a conversation to get, you couldn't just walk up to somebody say, Hey, lemme get your number. You could, I'm saying if somebody would, but for the most part, a, a young lady, a young woman they wanted you to have an engage with them, have a conversation with them. Let's discuss before I give you a phone number because me giving you my phone number or them giving your phone number, that's letting you into their personal space. And there was value in your personal space. I think with social media now, it devalued people's personal space because people post everything now. It also let ask you this,'cause you would be able to you would know, right? I think what's changed or what's changing is that. The value that you have online, that you have socially is almost more valuable than like real life, right? If you can present yourself in a certain way socially, if you can present that image if you have clout, if you have followers and likes and you have a network you value at least'cause Gen Z, I believe, and again, pitch, you can probably speak to this better, but like when Gen Z is networking and connecting and looking at different potential value, since so much of their business and world is online, that's the value they're looking for. Finding someone who may have zero followers, zero likes, but is just kick got all the information hidden away in a hut on the corner of the street is less valuable to most Gen Z people doing business than someone who's like actually online. And I. Has that social proof, but pitch. What's your thought on that? That's so sad. That's so sad, brother Ivy League. But that's so true, but so sad in the same breath. What was the question? Go ahead, pit. I know y'all ain't gonna cap. I'll stand on business. Y'all done cut me off like four times. I, what was the question? Nah, the question is what's more important, like for Gen Z? Like what's more important, right? Like someone's online presence. When you're looking to connect, what are you looking at first? What is most Gen Z people looking at first in terms of like just valuing that connection? Definitely the Instagram first. I just I feel like I got a different school of thought than a lot of people.'cause folks will get on Instagram and see somebody taking vacations and doing this and that and they'll be like, oh, he got money. I I'm cool with that. But my first thing is, okay, do your parents have money or are you scamming or are you running up dead? And now that I'm start, I'm, and again, once you like, we're like in the mid adolescence of social media now. Again, I was here when Kick and Bebo was the number one thing, you know what I'm saying? Almost got on my space before it got shut down. So I've seen the whole evolution of this and how things in the cultures have gone from our our view and our lens and stuff like that. But I would say we're getting to the age now with me almost pushing 30, being 28 and stuff, we kinda realize somebody's just posting all this. The question is how are you doing this? So it's a little different and people are starting to ask questions and with all the credit and stuff, people who hitting all these thousand dollars vacations oh, they be NPL, that thing. And they already got 70,000 in student loans, so they having fun. But by the time they 40 they gonna be in a whole different situation.'cause they're enjoying life while they're young. They're pulling the grasshoppers and not the ant tactics. So that's my answer to that. I league. So what do you look for when you like, like what are the good things you look for? Like when you're, when you what, like what impresses you when you meet someone, you trade Instagram. What impresses you? I don't get impressed. Me. I'm looking for what they do. I don't get impressed either. I, you talking about from a dating scene? Nah. Just from a networking scene. So for me, when I'm networking, I'm looking at what they do. I gotta say that out loud. I'm happily on no. I'm just saying like, when I'm looking at like for me, I would come across your page and I would see okay, he's he understands online marketing, he understands social media. He's a film. He's doing film. I can see some of his work that he does, right? Because it's it's almost like our digital house is how we really represent and show ourselves to the world. And like, when I look like I get it, there's a lot of people that start and pretend they just have money, but they're not really doing anything that, that doesn't, I just scroll past that. But if I see someone. Holding a networking event that caters to me or my people or speaking about AI or does something that's synergistic to any of my businesses or helps entrepreneurs or you get what I'm saying? That's what impresses me and I can see that quicker scrolling their Instagram than I can in a 20 minute conversation. Yeah again, I would say, Ken, I'll let you hold up. Lemme let see what you said. Oh no, he just responded to that. Again, it depends on what you're looking at. A lot of people like to flex on Instagram. And a lot of people. And I start, and I'm about to start making more content about it. And speaking of content, y'all need to go to the page, like follow, share, all that. You know what I'm saying? Help me out. Help us out. Each one, teach one, make another one grow. I get it right one day, Ken. But you know what I'm saying, but it's the what you're doing.'cause a lot of people they'll go in there and they'll scope out how people live and how people doing and stuff. But I make a conscious effort not to show that on my Instagram, because I've learned not to lead. People who actually got money, they don't want you to know you have money. And that'd be like the other thing about being on the side of it.'cause it's like, bro unless you got like rapper money or you just living crazy, which is, which happens, I see traders and scammers and do stuff. They got the bread, but the acquisition of the bread is not sustainable, you know what I'm saying? And that the way that they're using it, it's not gonna work. I don't know how to answer your question. It's just kind of something that you gotta feel around and see, if you didn't looked at the person, you see how they are, you know what I'm saying? If you get their Instagram, you would get an understanding of how they, because a lot of, hold up let me, some people can be stuck up and then you'll see how they act. You'll see they have a lot of followers because they look good. But personality wise, and this can be men and women, they just aren't a good person or they don't have any work ethic or they don't have any job. Yeah. You look okay. Yeah. Or good, great model status and you post all these extravagant pictures of you in Miami and stuff. But baby, how you got to Miami? I can't get to Miami right now. You ain't got a job, you ain't got a job. How you get down there, sir, how are you over, how you paying for all these bottles in the club last I checked on your story and your close friends, you didn't have a car. You know I'm saying. So like we, we spending a thousand dollars in the club on bottles to stand in the dark room with people who probably don't care about you, but you don't have a car to get to work. I don't know, it's just stuff that you can feel around and see. And it's a lot of people who just aren't being wise with they bread. And I think because so many people aren't being wise with your bread, only the people who are wise can skim and see tur type of stuff. I know what this is. I want to, you don't wanna just go ahead and do the reset, narcans, I already said I'm 30, so lemme get, lemme just get one little, one little thing real quick, y'all, because it kind of ties, ties what the old school way and the new school way. I think that the most efficient way to do it is like, how I use social media. If I'm checking someone out, is I I had that first 20 minute conversation. I wanna know what you do, how you do like what do you do? Where can we, where's the potential exchange of value between what I do and what you do, right? Then I'm gonna get your social, me social media. Then I'm gonna go check out, check you out online. Do you post about the things that you say you do? Does it add up? Can I visually see you doing the things you say you do? If you're a financial analyst, are you on social media talking about smart financial things? Are, you know what I'm saying? Does it add up? Does it add up? And it's yeah, I think that's the quickest way, right? Like just talk, but then use social media as a way to verify. All right, let's go to the sage trays and we'll hit this reset. You, me first, or you the reset First we the, and then she, we should do the reset. Let's go to reset and then we come and let Sage cook. Ken, how you hold up Who doing the reset? You are Oh. We gotta work on your, you need the g you need me to GP to it. Y'all y'all got y'all relationship bag on how y'all date online or whatever. I just man, let's get to the market. Let's it's all about let's get into these stocks. Okay? We, you know what I'm saying? Welcome to the pre-market movies, morning show. We're live on X Spaces every Tuesday and Thursday at seven 30 Eastern, 6:30 AM central to tap in. We break down everything beyond Wall Street, but also in Wall Street and give you the news and insights that you actually need. And we want you to be a part of this convo. We've had several people, we had several people hop on the stage and we had a few people drop a message, but it's always good to go ahead and drop a couple more and pop up a little bit more. You know what I'm saying? Big shout out to our sponsors, the French Schwab Brothers drinks, Cilla cc, outstanding self trade, and Doc Andrews just a few. Also Pi nor Media Marketing. And, we enjoy everybody being a part of the show. Wanna shout out other people in the crowd, such as just money gone here. Come up here. Just, you know what I'm saying? St. Felix, I ain't heard from you in a minute. Tiffany. R the Francois Brothers. You know I'm gonna keep calling y'all out. I'm seeing y'all's faces. I'm gonna keep calling y'all out. Kim. Tanya seats Spike Jay. Oh that's far. He seats Spike j All y'all long hair pop up. Say something in the chat for us. We can keep going with the show on you self, not selfish. Save a trade you need. Oh my God. I'm just so used to saying selfish is Oh my God. But yeah he was here earlier actually, so that's probably why as well. Yeah, I'm not used to selfish not being here. I actually got a little bit of a message. Sorry about the background noise. I'm at the airport right now getting ready for draft day. One more time. I'm praying for my cousin up in Stout so he can go ahead and go second round instead of third, and we can get the multiple millions coming our way. So we gonna pray for that. I just wanna talk about God's timing real quick because it is really incredible. When you sit back and you be patient, you wait for God to tell you what to do, like I've been telling y'all, just sit back and wait for this market to storm through and then when the opportunities come, like I told you, on video is gonna go under 100. It just did it two days ago and it's gonna do it again. I will probably hold off until it's in the 79 range. That's when I'm buying Nvidia for my first time. I'm buying it at 79. You think it's gonna get the 20 again, bro. It might. It might. I have my first bice at 79 and then I have another buy order set at 60. I dunno if that order's gonna get filled, but I do know the 79 gonna, you see you, the type of man I wanna deal with right there. You setting buy orders so you don't even, when it happens, it's already automatically done. I didn't think about that brother. Exactly. You definitely gotta be more quantitative than qualitative, which is trades. Like I've been saying, let's trades higher conviction. But when God tells you to go ahead and do it's time to do it. Like I, I just wanna let y'all know that I recently got into a car accident and all kinds of stuff happened and actually I ended up just buying a new car and a new house in Dallas. So we gonna praise God for that. And definitely got some things coming up around the corner. But be careful with this market because it is still continuing a rollercoaster and be ready to set out your capital. When it's time to count, I will let y'all know. I will tweet it out. I will ping y'all, let y'all won me to, I will let y'all know it's time to buy, but it's not time to buy yet. Just let the going up down a rollercoaster and we'll be back on schedule in days. So you mentioned 90 days. Say that was wild. I just wanna say that you, the type of man I wanna deal with wild. Why does everybody say I'd be wild? I just be saying my, like literally about five different groups of people that have unrelated stuff say to say, how, what did I do? That was wild. This time. Clayton, please enlighten me. Big brother. 19. You the type of man I wanna deal with. That was just crazy dog. Sorry. Go ahead. A pause moment, a hard pause. I got you. I give you that one. Yeah, I give you that one. Hey. But I will say my statements have brought up St. Felix, so I'm gonna tell everybody to be quiet. I'm gonna hear St. Felix talk. I conjured that man uphill. I need what you got for St. Felix. Hey. Okay. Okay. I'm just listening right now. I'm just enjoying the the show. I haven't been on entire week or so, so watching the market hold up. You sound the speakers a little low. What you said same Felix? I said I heard you said you ain't been on in a week or so. What else? Oh, wait hold on. My, my audio mic still be off like that. I'm trying to figure out what to do today. I dunno if I'm taking off or I'm going bullish or ish or what the market is. Keep going up with all these headlines right now. It's crazy. Indeed. Same. Felix, you back? Yeah. Can you hear me better now? Yeah, it's a bit better. Yeah, I was just saying I'm just listening. I haven't been up in week or so, so I'm just partaking. I hear you. I hear you man. Definitely appreciate that. Yeah, for sure. Appreciate you coming up on the stage, man. You know what I'm saying? Any type of questions you got you on the stage, ask it, drop it in the chat, however you wanna do it, man, market wise. I mean it's we gotta play it by airman'cause we just saw, I just saw something that said that Trump didn't Trump said something about Asian orange, said something about, china talks, but China said, when you talk to what you talking about, dog, you know what I'm saying? You haven't reached out to us. They did that. James Franco, when they said that, they said, what? Who you talk to China. You know what I'm saying? And that's so funny, man. The fake news is started to be fake news. I'm like, bro, it's the circus has to end. We're talking about the bedrock of the, of not even the American financial the world. It's it was cool and it was funny at first, good opportunities, but now it's like true ambiguity. Hold up bro. Do I need to like, sell everything right quick? I ain't selling my Nvidia. Going back to my last statement, I'm trying to see that thing. My average cost on Nvidia 24. So you say$7. I'm like it's a little high. You know what I'm saying? I hate to buy 10 stocks and then my average price. No. I got hate to see my average price go up higher and stuff like that. But it is what it is. I'd say long term is the biggest thing man, and even with Bitcoin,'cause a lot of people saying Bitcoin is high right now. But the thing is, if you have forward looking, if you're looking forward at the asset and you're looking at it for a 10 year horizon if you are just dumping bread in there right now, a lot of stuff is assumed to be a lot higher in 10 years. Unless something very bad happens very suddenly, which will present a better opportunity for you to buy at lower rate. So yeah, all I got to say on that other thing, y'all need to see the movie Sins man. I'm probably gonna go and see it for the third time. So I opened it night a few nights ago, gonna see it again. It's amazing work as a visual artist. Michael B. Jordan did his thing. Ryan Kler did his thing as well. A third showing. I did not stutter Kenneth. That's wild. You thought it was that good, you said? I'm, I've heard it's that good. It's not even about it myself. I saw it, so I'm just, I ain't I? All right. At the same time, you gotta realize I'm in Birmingham, Alabama, so being able to see some of this older stuff,'cause like we got thrown until all the humanitarian efforts and stuff like that, like literally we are seeing the kids get sprayed with the hoses as. Kids, they're like, this is folks your age was getting hit with these fire hoses and these dogs and stuff. It hit me in a different way seeing the movie, but then seeing all the all the sudden things realizing that the the antagonist was multifaceted, like Ryan Cooper, stuff like that. Yeah. I like how you, I like your word choice. Don't ruin it for the people, because I'm sure a bulk of the community haven't seen Yeah. I'm I know how to talk creatively without giving it away. You feel me? I appreciate that, Kenneth. You know what I'm saying? But I just said he was multifaceted. That's all. You know what I'm saying? It's just a lot of things in there that I would like everybody to enjoy and see, but I'll pass it over to some most stock stuff. I'm about to actually pull out a chart. I'll hand it over to somebody else so I can speak on that chart. I think we got UL's hand while you getting charts, but I would like to hear from both of you and the sage as far as what levels because Sage said we, we need to, hold on. We still got some more downside. I'm looking to hear some potential levels that we're looking at for the spy and stuff like that. I know we had Tesla Earnest just came out. We haven't done a recap on that yet. And that was that's an elephant in the room And I wanted to get on Intel a little bit as well. I know we put a lot in the AI and touched on crypto. I saw DA's hand earlier, but I got you circle. Yeah, doubt we know. Hey brother. We know, and we had a good conversation the other week about it, so we're gonna give it to the sage and then we'll spin the block on pitch, pulling up the charts, and then we got Da Sage. What you got, brother? I'm still on my same threshold. I'm principal. Buy-in my turn. My, my goal is long-term buying right now, just because there's not a better time. The long-term buy when you got the market at discounts, like it's right now, but it's going lower. I've got my price set, my first buy price set at 5 0 5, and then my next set is at 4 88. So that's what I'm looking at and my buying until market those, it gave us a little preview what, two weeks ago? We got down to four 90 it Oh, eight days, couple days ago. Yeah. True. I was thinking about when it took that bigger dip a couple weeks ago, but it seemed like that might have been a bear trap because now we're getting some, again, facts. I'm calling earnings right now because if you what's news right now, it's bad. It's not good. So that's where I guess, the confusion comes in because the news is bad, right? But folks have been getting excited, folks have been loading up and accumulating trying to call early lows, but you're saying that they when the president can tweet and tell you to buy stocks, everybody's gonna get excited. That doesn't mean that's where the stock is going. It just means that's his best impression of where the stock is going right now. But if you're looking at it long term, play the macro, not the macro's always gonna give you the whole thing instead of a little bit. Alright, there it is. Let's say what was intriguing when he did mention that by statement, the DJ t did spike. It did, yeah. That, that was interesting from one of the, because I don't think it was the overall market as far as the latest mention of him saying bye because it looked like the second time. I think the first time was when the, after the second initial tariff talk. Like after April 7th or so when the market rebound? Yeah, he said it recently and it did affect his stop personally. That wasn't it. He's gonna keep right on. He's gonna keep playing against because DJ T is up, believe it or not, ladies and gentlemen, over 31% in the last week, up 31% in the last week. And that's a sleeper that DJ TA lot of us abandoned it after the election. I know some folks speculated on it'cause it was getting so much volatility, but now you see the actual power of Trump's words affecting Marcus and spoke up DJ T 31.5% rally in the last week alone. I don't have none. But that's some risk out there. You want to play in the mud a little bit. You can, and there's nothing wrong with participating in some of this risky stuff. You just don't, you don't bet the ranch on it. You have to control your allocation of capital to these type of plays because some of'em are super tripped out like even with the crypto stuff we know it's not just the coins it's the other related entities like the miners and things like that. I know I've had a love hate relationship with Riot. Some of this stuff is tripped out here. Some of them getting into some of these, it's etf. Attached to crypto performance. It's just a lot going on. And with the volatility and the Trump tweets and the tariff talks and the, it's just a perfect storm for traitors who, overstand volatility. You have to overstand it, right? Volatility with stocks beta if you, in the options imply volatility, what does this stuff, what does this stuff mean? Because Trump's words does affect that stuff, right? When I mentioned the vix, when I opened up the show, that's the the fear gauge and there's certain levels involved in it. If it's under 15, it's peaceful. It's peaceful water, it's calm waters. When it gets above 30, it's the water you might. Rock the boat too much and right now we're like a 28. So there is a lot of fear and uncertainty in the market. And that's not just opinion is in the numbers, is in the math. The only reaction you can count on in this market is overreaction. So make sure you put some funds on the side and just like Renee to either overreact to the upside and play your puts or play to the downside and play calls when they go down. So either way, that'll be your best be all. There it is. And for brother da, we're gonna go ahead do this quick pivot. We need to do the earnings recap on. TSLA. Of course, their ticket, their first quarter report is a key event on the earnest calendar with the results unveiled after Tuesday's close. Wall Street got a glimpse of what was to come following the release of the electric vehicle company's delivery numbers earlier this month in the three months ending March 31st, Tesla produced 345,454 vehicles and delivered 323,800 vehicles representing a year over year decline of 16% and 12% respectively. As for the rest of the results, Tesla said earnings plunged 40% year over year to 27 cents per share, while revenue slumped 9% to 19.3 billion. Analysts expected the company to report earnings per share of 42 cents on revenue of 21.5 billion. It's been a rough stretch for Tesla shareholders with the stock down 41% for the year to date quote, the company has become a political lightning rod explains Steve Sosnick, chief strategist at Interactive Brokers. Quote, thanks to Elon Musk. Key role at the Department of Government efficiency, better known as Doge. Ick goes on to say that major element of a major element of Tesla is its futurism with hopes for robo taxis, robotics, and other inventions playing an integral role in its rich valuation. Having a quote visionary who is busy with the day-to-day mechanics of government bureaucracy is highly unlikely to be simultaneously making concrete PO progress towards those corporate goals he adds. So that's the Kiplinger's Ernie report up on. The Tesla earnings. Anybody in the room have any feelings towards Tesla and good morning self trade. Yeah. What's going on everybody? You guys know I like Tesla let's talk about it. Yeah. Bad news. It it was bad earnings, right? Something we expected. One of the things that pushed the stock to the upside was basically him stepping down from those, right? So that's what the shareholders wanted to see, and the shareholders basically pushed the stock to the upside. So that's something that you gotta love, right? As far as China like I explained to people the Chinese are not they're number two, right? I don't wanna get into that again, but the thing is they're making deals in other countries. So you got China factories in Vietnam, you got China factories in India. You see how they taking over Africa. So the thing is like. You see what happened with SPS and P 500, right? We was do, we were supposed to be doing talks with China. Guess what? The s and p popped to the upside. And as of today the Chinese authority came by and said, Hey, we haven't made no fault yet to America. No deal has been done or worked down. So you, I, you just can't gotta love it, right? You gotta news. Yeah. That's all I got for. There it is. The white guy making yeah. Right now looking at the charts we're we continue to make lower highs and things like that I need to I don't know why I chose to analyze this on my laptop, just to come in here and then make a conversation. Let me fix this chart. But we continue to make lower highs right now and we're at a ceiling where we try to break over this breaking hole consistently for a couple of sessions over. I think this is 5 37 right now, so we're teetering around the 200 EMA on the four hour chart, I'm about to pop in. My big thing that I noticed, I've been following this line and I've noticed that we've been respectful to this line, but I feel like the moment that we are not respectful to this line, that things are gonna break loose. And I'm about to add this chart. I got a blue line that we've been tapping up against all the way since 2020. All the way since 2020, and we did tap this line on April 14th, and when it happened, we got a shot back up, a strong green candle back up with a lot of volume. If you I'm gonna put the chart in, excuse all these additional lines. It might be hard to see. I don't know how to allow you to see it a little bit better without these lines, but yeah, I'm about to pop it in the chart. Are you posting it from Trading View? Who is that? This is St as are you posting it from trading View? Yeah. I'm about to post this chart from trading View right now. There's a there's a eyeball on the left side. You see the eyeball, like under the lock button. Hold all he trying to game me now. I don't see the eyeball. Are you trying to, are you saying he's trying to share it or something? No. You could actually. Make all the lines disappear for a moment. Hold. It's my it's not like the volume and the, when I say lines, it's like all of my levels, horizontal lines that I've drawn. I don't think that's what I mean. Oh shit. How you doing? Yeah. The are you, do you have trading via the desktop app or are you on the browser? No, I'm on the app on my on my phone. Your phone, okay. Yeah, phone might be a little different. Jago. But I screenshots are powerful. My boy, they've gotten less manage trouble. Gen Z stuff, man. We use our, they use their phone for anything, computer, laptop. That's crazy you say that. If we forward to the beginning of this conversation, I believe you said we got the power of the oracle in our pockets, you feel me? It would only be. Correct to use the power of said Oracle. You know what I'm saying? Oh. I commend DI commend D Oh, not the Ds. That's saying that yesterday was national space. I wanna throw something out there real quick that I found interesting. And this is a shout out to Wyman, the Wisdom Broker. Like IBM another blue chip tech company, INTC one that actually made our radar for the topic of the day. Recent article says, Intel's stock surges as chip maker reportedly plans to cut 20% of his workforce. And so the stock surges, and some people look at the same thing, but see two different, two different storylines. Some people act oh man. Intel's been a dog stock and now they laying people off. It's gonna keep going down and the market's down and tariffs and all that, and they can paint that story. But a lot of times when big companies cutting 20% of your staff is significant, right? Who knows how much? I guess that's easy to find out, right? I'm not gonna GPT it, I'm gonna do my old school. I'm gonna Yahoo, finance it and do it that way. But over here it says, Intel has 108,900 full-time employees. If they gotta, if everybody cut 20% of their staff, that's a significant amount of biweekly payroll deductions that aren't gonna come outta their business checking account. It's all kind of health insurance policies. They don't have to pay for 401k matching. They don't have to outlay. So I personally think that layoffs could be a big benefit to big companies keep more money in their war chest and do better things. But I'm just was throwing that out there.'cause Wman was giving us some of the rundown of historic things that happen from a layoff perspective when he was working at IBM. For folks in the room, the e the big companies like IBM, Intel, all those guys, they have economists full-time on their staff. A lot of'em came from government, right? The same folks who forecast what the GDP is gonna be in et cetera. They're working for corporate. And so they have an over the horizon view of what the economy's gonna look like 90 days out, 180 days out, et cetera. And they're saying, if the economy's gonna be bad in December, right? And our sales are gonna go down because of it, our, one of our biggest costs. Is labor. And so you talking about just in time inventory, right? There's just in time labor force. If I know the economy's gonna be bad and my sales are gonna be down, I'm gonna try to neutralize that that loss by shedding some, getting some stuff off the plane. I gotta get over this mountain. We not gonna make it over this unless I start some cargo off the and a lot times equates into. So what they're doing is they preemptive strike, if you would, preempt preemptive actions in anticipation of an economy where people got their hands on their wallet and it's to keep it in their pocket and not to pull out money to spend. And you'll see that in a lot of the big corporations who are forecasting a a down economy or God forbid a recession, they're, they gonna make those headcount moves now. They're not gonna wait until it comes out. Alright? You and you are. As of right now, I can't Yeah, going back to what I was saying right before I got off pastor Mike. Yes, Esther. Oh, you are correct. This trend line. And I I just fall in love with charting like this because it's about pattern recognition and shapes, not exactly formations of candlesticks as I am growing to learn with different types of patterns, but just the way the stocks behave with trend lines. I feel like trend lines support and resistance should be like the first thing anybody does with charting because it's visually represented by just moving the candles around and it's based off of price, action and volume and things like that. But again, it's just a simplistic way if you have access to the correct software. So what I showed, in the chat and way, I would actually tell you to go and look at what Esther O placed Hers looks way better and it it is perfectly what I'm trying to say, but there's been a trend line, or it's perfectly what I'm true to what I'm trying to say, however you want to conjugate that word or phrase. But there's a trend line that we've been tapping on since 2022. And I was going to go gungho and liquefy something and just put it in puts.'cause I knew if we broke this trend line, we would it would be a sense of chaos because of how again, 2020 happened and then we bounced off the top of it. Okay, cool. Then we had another event in October 6th, 2022 where we started tapping. Then January 9th, 23, we came close Janu March 16th, 2023 became close, but then we tapped it again October 31st, 2023. So we have three taps, which definitely signifies it being a true trend line. And that is something to be measured when we're looking at the continuity, if I may say, of the market. But now when you get to the fact that we bounced off of it April 4th, if I'm not mistaken, the week of April 4th or April 7th, I think it's Monday, April 7th this year. It's okay, cool. We understand we're a bearish market with lower highs and stuff, but would this be a springboard or are we gonna come down and test it again? And that's what I'm looking at because again, when we did test it, if you zoom in, you can go on your own. You can make it from 2022 if you wanna look at S'S chart. But if you zoom in on this time period, there's just a lot going on. And if you look at the amount of volume that happened right here on this day, if you, I'm looking at it on the daily, like the amount of volume that happened when it tapped the candle has not been seen again since, let's see, 20, 20 covid times. And this is just me saying numbers to you, like I'm looking at this on a desktop, I'm looking at the volume. There was a volume spike. Very, okay, I'll take that back. We had a trend in volume on the 20, on January 28th, 2022, we had a volume spike. But again, between the trend line and between. It just the volume and the confluence and looking at other things. It's just something to be very abreast about. I feel like we will go lower, but if we hit this line, that is definitely the elevator down. I wanna pass to the same Felix and then wrap it up with anybody else, Ken. Lemme see these messages. All right, so two things. We could, I was gonna speak on the with the intel with the layoffs. If y'all ever seen Jamie Diamond documentary or like how he got into his position and everything is history. That's a part of the territory and what makes companies profitable and favorable and look nice to the stock market is laying off people. Because that was like the first thing that Jamie Diamond I think did at both of the companies that he worked at. Because I know some people might look at it strange, like, why is the company going up when they're laying people off? Second on trading I found it for the mobile version. If you click on that, that drawing tool it should be like a pen, a pencil with a little squiggly line pits. If you click on that top section, you scroll over to the right, you should see the eyeball and just a little dropdown next to it to specify what you wanna hide, whether it's drawings or indicators, be bet I'm away from my phone this second. I'm talking to my AirPod, so I'll check that out. My gut, and I appreciate you doing the do and showing me that. I definitely need to start using that more often. I will say, y'all know, it's 8 0 7. Y'all know how Ken gets Yeah I just got one thing, right? So I, Beto I know, go ahead. And I can be long, I just be short on this because the one, the only thing is that, the only thing is that nobody mentioned the new CEO, right? So the thing is when you get a new boss, a new CEO that's running the company, he is gonna come in. Just like with me when I come in, when I work for a new company, I see how I can save money. And if that's only we as employees have this sentiment of you stand loyal to a company, right? A company would do what's best for shareholders if I, if this company trades on a public stock exchange. It's gonna do what's best for the shareholders and what's best for the shareholders. It's best for the company. So if that means to cutting 20% or 20,000 people you just have to do it, especially with the technology that's out right now. So I like it. And we own it, right? So we've been making money. I it, yeah, Intel's definitely on my long-term rebound list and I still got my eye on Micron as well. I'm working on a list. I'm gonna come here and I'm gonna throw my second half of 20, 25 picks out there. I encourage everybody to talk about the wall, but I don't talk much about what I got on the wall, but I think that's something I'll come back and share next week just so y'all can pick it apart. I want to get the contrarian view. I think that's what you learn the most. I think a lot of times people seek. Information that supports their hypothesis versus just seeking the truth. And the truth is the truth. And that's what I wanna know. I care more about that than finding articles that be like, yeah you right kid. You right. Tell me I'm wrong. I wanna hear that. I want to hear those bars, they mean the most. But that being said, pitch is everything I do. Good. I do Just got one thing here. Yes sir. So I'm in London, right? And I'm going down the street way and it's like people are different from America. So I I just encourage people to just travel to like different countries and just take a Uber, take a taxi, just drive through like different neighborhoods and because it's amazing that you see that it is, people are not the same. They, I even in America, right? Every, you can tell we Americans, but when you come over here I can't identify an American at all. You gotta fight. I about to say they say you ask somebody for questions in London, you gonna get responded to with a blade with a K bar. What? Yeah, they don't have guns. They be walking up and just walk away from, I like, whoa. I'd rather get shot than stabbed. Easy. Would you? Yeah. Yeah. I would, I don't want nobody pressing up against me putting like their physical strength into That's different. You get shot. We can talk about calibers all day, you know what I'm saying? Flesh in and out. You getting stabbed is different. Okay. Tough guy. What we gonna do is we gonna go ahead and wrap the show up, wrap the show up, and we have had a good show today. So everything's, everything is answering in order. Any this is last call. Last call. Anybody wanna say anything before we tap in next week? Anybody? You are opening the can for yourself, Ken, I close it, I put a bow on it, but you open the package. I love your analogies.
