    insights uh Matt has a special place in
  • 00:01:25
    my heart because the very first time I

    ever did the podcast uh as a solo host
  • 00:01:31
    uh Matt was my guest and so of course I
  • 00:01:33
    had a little bit of the nerves going and
  • 00:01:36
    everything but then after I got done
  • 00:01:38

  • 00:01:40

    back and to get things tested with you
  • 00:01:53
    and yeah exactly and and I I was telling
  • 00:01:55
    Matt look you know I feel like he's the
  • 00:01:57
    guinea pig he you know helps helps us
  • 00:01:59
    out things out for us um but you know if
  • 00:02:02
    this doesn't work out then I'm okay
  • 00:02:05
    calling him the scapegoat no no shame
  • 00:02:07
    there so uh that's fine but uh we got a
  • 00:02:10
    lot to talk about here because this
  • 00:02:12
    Market really kind of uh threw folks for
  • 00:02:15
    a loop I mean we had the start of August
  • 00:02:18
    really kind of ugly for us uh last month
  • 00:02:21
    September man uh yesterday was no fun uh
  • 00:02:24
    on our swing Trader status update I
  • 00:02:26
    called it the Terrible Horrible No Good
  • 00:02:28
    Very Bad Day uh kind of likening it to
  • 00:02:31
    the the children's story um and it's
  • 00:02:33
    gonna be great to get your insights and
  • 00:02:35
    also one of the things that I think is
  • 00:02:37
    going to be interesting to talk to you
  • 00:02:38
    about Matt is this idea of indicators
  • 00:02:41
    you know everyone has kind of their
  • 00:02:42
    favorite indicator but you kind of
  • 00:02:43
    notice that some indicators work better
  • 00:02:45
    in certain markets than others and so
  • 00:02:47
    we'll talk about how you determine which
  • 00:02:49
    indicators to use and when but um let's
  • 00:02:52
    go ahead and uh pull up some charts and
  • 00:02:54
    start with this Market um do you want to
  • 00:02:56
    start with the S&P 500 or the NASDAQ
  • 00:02:59
    sure uh we go with the NASDAQ I think
  • 00:03:00
    it's probably the right one to take a
  • 00:03:02
    look at it's definitely a little bit
  • 00:03:06
    harsher at least yesterday was well I
  • 00:03:09
    mean I think you know Nvidia was the
  • 00:03:11
    gift that kept giving and now it's the
  • 00:03:13
    you know the uh the stock that's taking
  • 00:03:15
    a little bit and I think we're just
  • 00:03:16
    seeing that back and forth where it led
  • 00:03:18
    for so long and this concentration in
  • 00:03:20
    large caps I mean was phenomenal for
  • 00:03:22
    General indexes throughout you know
  • 00:03:23
    20123 and 2024 now that Trend I think is
  • 00:03:27
    leveling off my opinion is I think we at
  • 00:03:29
    least in the intermediate term of
  • 00:03:31
    probably the leadership phase of of
  • 00:03:32
    nvidia's passing and so as you get that
  • 00:03:35
    back and forth action it's Weighing on
  • 00:03:37
    indexes I mean I think yesterday was the
  • 00:03:39
    biggest single largest market cap drop
  • 00:03:41
    for any one stock ever in history on
  • 00:03:43
    Nvidia so was it was a big drop and it's
  • 00:03:45
    normal as you know stocks it's always
  • 00:03:47
    stairs up but it's the elevator down and
  • 00:03:48
    so we're seeing that a little bit here
  • 00:03:50
    yeah and in some ways it felt like uh
  • 00:03:52
    Not only was this an elevator down it
  • 00:03:54
    was kind of like the elevator was
  • 00:03:55
    missing and you just took a took a drop
  • 00:03:58
    you didn't even have the elevator
  • 00:03:59
    bringing you down floor to floor you
  • 00:04:01
    just kind of skipped some uh skipped
  • 00:04:02
    some floors um so in terms of when
  • 00:04:05
    you're analyzing the market you know
  • 00:04:07
    there's certainly that element of you
  • 00:04:09
    know the the bottomup approach and
  • 00:04:11
    looking at the stocks and Nvidia is such
  • 00:04:13
    a good gauge I mean for a while there it
  • 00:04:15
    seemed like as goes Nvidia so goes the
  • 00:04:17
    market for a while there it was Tesla
  • 00:04:20
    was kind of the stock that gauged where
  • 00:04:22
    the market was going um but in terms of
  • 00:04:24
    the technical action are there any
  • 00:04:26
    levels that you're you're kind of
  • 00:04:28
    looking at you know moving average lines
  • 00:04:31
    things like that that kind of really uh
  • 00:04:33
    help provide guard rails for
  • 00:04:35
    you I think instead of just looking at
  • 00:04:38
    averages what i' like to do is really
  • 00:04:40
    and this year has been specifically a
  • 00:04:42
    big outlier like the spread between
  • 00:04:43
    equal weights and the market cap weights
  • 00:04:46
    have been so huge so for the longest
  • 00:04:48
    time I mean all all year long everyone's
  • 00:04:50
    saying hey Market's doing great but that
  • 00:04:52
    was really either you were sitting in
  • 00:04:53
    the market EF or in those individual
  • 00:04:55
    stocks that were running and running and
  • 00:04:57
    running but uh most stocks were it was a
  • 00:05:00
    terrible Market but they just weren't
  • 00:05:01
    running at the same Pace or anywhere
  • 00:05:03
    close to it so I think we're starting to
  • 00:05:05
    get that that shift now where we're
  • 00:05:07
    seeing some like the QQQ equal weight
  • 00:05:09
    has been doing better even the kind of
  • 00:05:11
    midcaps mdy has been holding in a little
  • 00:05:13
    bit better which is a nice change of
  • 00:05:15
    pace we haven't broken out yet I I think
  • 00:05:17
    in terms of levels um taking a look at
  • 00:05:21
    something like the midcap
  • 00:05:23
    ETF you know we've had this pullback I
  • 00:05:25
    think it was dragged down a little bit
  • 00:05:26
    with Nvidia yesterday we've been in this
  • 00:05:28
    range you can see even the pattern wreck
  • 00:05:30
    is is showing it it's been a really up
  • 00:05:32
    and down range for the past several
  • 00:05:33
    months I think as long as we stay in
  • 00:05:35
    this range we're safe we're nowhere near
  • 00:05:37
    kind of a bar Market but really my focus
  • 00:05:39
    My Hope with rates coming down and some
  • 00:05:41
    rotations out of maybe the mega caps is
  • 00:05:43
    that you know the midcaps small caps are
  • 00:05:46
    kind of just pausing here at their highs
  • 00:05:47
    and as soon as Nvidia catches his breath
  • 00:05:49
    from falling they'll be able to push out
  • 00:05:51
    to new highs and they'll take that
  • 00:05:52
    leadership
  • 00:05:53
    torch so one of the things that I think
  • 00:05:56
    was very notable and this is something
  • 00:05:57
    that we've been talking about for a
  • 00:05:58
    while here is that um July 11th you know
  • 00:06:02
    this was a a CPI report that came out
  • 00:06:04
    and it really kind of seemed to change
  • 00:06:07
    uh the market temporarily where midcaps
  • 00:06:10
    all of a sudden uh were were all uh all
  • 00:06:14
    a flutter um iwm the Russell 2000 small
  • 00:06:18
    caps uh huge move uh there and this also
  • 00:06:22
    coincided you know back to your point on
  • 00:06:24
    Nvidia um Nvidia had actually kind of
  • 00:06:26
    topped yeah um a little bit before that
  • 00:06:28
    with this down side reversal was trying
  • 00:06:31
    to get back to New highs and then had
  • 00:06:32
    another downside reversal and the NASDAQ
  • 00:06:35
    um you know also you know had this kind
  • 00:06:38
    of ugly day right here on you know on
  • 00:06:40
    July 11th so it it really kind of seemed
  • 00:06:44
    like there was a change happening but
  • 00:06:46
    then again getting back to the small
  • 00:06:48
    caps you had this kind of come down uh
  • 00:06:52
    just as hard as everything else on those
  • 00:06:54
    three days starting August 1 through
  • 00:06:57
    August 5th um and it it it just seemed
  • 00:07:00
    like it was kind of back to the back to
  • 00:07:03
    the old guys the Old Guard um and small
  • 00:07:06
    caps seemed to lag a little bit you see
  • 00:07:08
    that with the relative strength and so
  • 00:07:10
    it almost felt like there was a rotation
  • 00:07:12
    in play then people were like no wait a
  • 00:07:15
    minute let's go back to the other ones
  • 00:07:16
    and now it seems like they're going back
  • 00:07:18
    so is this like an indecisive Market is
  • 00:07:20
    this kind of a function of Summer uh
  • 00:07:23
    what what do you kind of attribute all
  • 00:07:24
    of this rotation to I I think there's
  • 00:07:26
    two important elements that's driving
  • 00:07:28
    all of this so it you know obviously
  • 00:07:30
    inflation the past few years has
  • 00:07:32
    impacted all of us like in daily life
  • 00:07:33
    but in terms of markets we haven't
  • 00:07:35
    really seen anything to this severity
  • 00:07:37
    unless you went back to the 70s I mean I
  • 00:07:39
    I didn't live through it myself so you
  • 00:07:40
    have to go back and study all of that
  • 00:07:42
    but a lot of the relationships were
  • 00:07:44
    really different during that
  • 00:07:45
    inflationary period like it really it
  • 00:07:46
    really threw a loop like you know a lot
  • 00:07:48
    of the standard um relationships between
  • 00:07:51
    markets so you know one thing for
  • 00:07:53
    example is is uh as soon as inflation
  • 00:07:55
    kind of peaked back in the 70s started
  • 00:07:56
    to Trend lower markets bottomed and they
  • 00:07:58
    started to take off
  • 00:08:00
    this cycle here because of that
  • 00:08:01
    inflation um it really increased
  • 00:08:05
    disparity between the halves and have
  • 00:08:07
    knots in the market so you know if you
  • 00:08:08
    look at the mega cap uh tech stocks not
  • 00:08:10
    only were they kind of a place of safety
  • 00:08:12
    because they were liquid not only were
  • 00:08:13
    they a place of safety because they had
  • 00:08:15
    a big market cap they had a huge
  • 00:08:17
    customer base they also had you know uh
  • 00:08:20
    lower financing costs they could borrow
  • 00:08:22
    at at better rates so like everything
  • 00:08:24
    was working in their Direction usually
  • 00:08:26
    most
  • 00:08:27
    cycles that that's spread between large
  • 00:08:30
    and small is not as big so I I think
  • 00:08:33
    going into really at the end of last
  • 00:08:35
    year the end of 2023 we really started
  • 00:08:37
    to see that broad-based move in November
  • 00:08:40
    December and then we got kind of that
  • 00:08:42
    that sticky inflation beginning of this
  • 00:08:44
    year I don't if you remember that kind
  • 00:08:45
    of like things were picking back up
  • 00:08:46
    concerns came back so I I think it's
  • 00:08:49
    really been the story and we as stock
  • 00:08:50
    investors we tend to always look at
  • 00:08:52
    stocks first but I think it's really
  • 00:08:54
    been a bond story that's that's causing
  • 00:08:57
    all these relationships under the
  • 00:08:58
    surface that people aren't noticing and
  • 00:09:00
    with that if you sprinkle on like the
  • 00:09:02
    modern algorithms where the longest time
  • 00:09:04
    they they do it works right it was you
  • 00:09:06
    know be long large cap Tech short small
  • 00:09:08
    caps and everyone when they get two
  • 00:09:11
    positioned in one trade that you know
  • 00:09:12
    that everyone running for the door at
  • 00:09:14
    the same time caused these very fast
  • 00:09:16
    dislocations so I I think like all that
  • 00:09:18
    in and out it looks so confusing but I
  • 00:09:20
    think it's really if you look at from
  • 00:09:21
    the big picture and you kind of
  • 00:09:24
    understand what's driving it which is
  • 00:09:25
    bonds and inflation these rotations
  • 00:09:27
    sprinkle in algorithm trading and it
  • 00:09:30
    starts to make sense so I think we're
  • 00:09:32
    back at maybe a turning point like we
  • 00:09:33
    were last fall it was put on hold I
  • 00:09:35
    think because inflation uh brought you
  • 00:09:37
    know came back up but should that
  • 00:09:39
    finally you know go to rest and the
  • 00:09:41
    economy holds in there I think we get
  • 00:09:43
    back to more of a normal bull market
  • 00:09:45
    where most stocks go up and broader
  • 00:09:47
    participation yeah and that's kind of
  • 00:09:49
    what seemed like was happening for a
  • 00:09:51
    little while there yeah it seemed like
  • 00:09:52
    we were finally getting the small caps
  • 00:09:55
    going up you know again we had what we
  • 00:09:56
    call a follow through day um on August
  • 00:09:59
    13th and it just seemed like you have
  • 00:10:01
    the S&P 500 going up the NASDAQ going up
  • 00:10:03
    the Dow Jones Industrial Average going
  • 00:10:05
    up the small caps going up the midcaps
  • 00:10:07
    going up it was like everyone's
  • 00:10:09
    everyone's participating uh and then
  • 00:10:12
    again it just seemed like it uh the rug
  • 00:10:14
    kind of got swept out from under you now
  • 00:10:16
    you mentioned bonds and it it brings up
  • 00:10:18
    a few things um so I I've got kind of
  • 00:10:20
    three points that I want to throw at you
  • 00:10:22
    you can decide which order you want to
  • 00:10:23
    take them in so uh number one uh got to
  • 00:10:26
    talk a little bit about the inverted
  • 00:10:27
    yield curve it almost went uninverted
  • 00:10:30
    today at the close uh you know so we
  • 00:10:33
    have kind of the longest you you
  • 00:10:35
    mentioned the 70s and um this is from
  • 00:10:37
    Dow Jones data um some of the folks
  • 00:10:41
    there at Dow Jones were saying this is
  • 00:10:43
    uh the longest streak since 1978 to 1980
  • 00:10:47
    where the yield curve of the two-year
  • 00:10:50
    and 10e has been inverted so we're at
  • 00:10:52
    544 days right now uh started July 1st
  • 00:10:55
    2022 um almost you know almost got there
  • 00:10:58
    it's gotten there few times intraday uh
  • 00:11:01
    to uninverted but didn't didn't make it
  • 00:11:03
    at the close today um so we're at this
  • 00:11:06
    very long streak and and this data goes
  • 00:11:08
    back to 1977 I should add so the the the
  • 00:11:12
    inverted yield curve going uninverted or
  • 00:11:15
    getting close to it um that's one thing
  • 00:11:18
    um let's let's talk a little bit about
  • 00:11:20
    Bostic uh today uh the Atlanta fed
  • 00:11:24
    president who is a voting member uh
  • 00:11:27
    typically known for his hawkishness uh
  • 00:11:29
    he was saying look we don't have to wait
  • 00:11:31
    for 2% or we we can't wait until 2%
  • 00:11:35
    inflation Target is reached before we
  • 00:11:37
    make cuts um and then also just the
  • 00:11:40
    whole idea of cutting in general where
  • 00:11:44
    it almost feels like is is the market
  • 00:11:47
    going to have a temper tantrum if we
  • 00:11:48
    don't get 50 basis points uh this month
  • 00:11:52
    uh it seems like more and more
  • 00:11:54
    especially after the joltz report today
  • 00:11:57
    um you know there was there was kind of
  • 00:11:58
    a a a quick little uh jiggle as the
  • 00:12:01
    joltz report missed estimates um lower
  • 00:12:04
    than expected
  • 00:12:06
    and it seemed like the the odds of a you
  • 00:12:09
    know kind of spiked up to like 50% or
  • 00:12:12
    something of a 50 basis point cut now I
  • 00:12:15
    want to say that those fed Futures have
  • 00:12:16
    been off the mark for a while I mean
  • 00:12:19
    they've been uh you know according to
  • 00:12:21
    the FED Futures we got Cuts coming like
  • 00:12:24
    last year and they didn't materialize
  • 00:12:26
    and then it was seven Cuts this year
  • 00:12:28
    which not gonna happen um so what is
  • 00:12:31
    what is kind of your take on those uh
  • 00:12:34
    three topics take whichever one you want
  • 00:12:37
    well so you know you speak of you know
  • 00:12:39
    like the data points going back to the
  • 00:12:40
    late 70s and that's really to my point
  • 00:12:42
    it's the inflationary Playbook so I know
  • 00:12:45
    some people also kind of uh point to
  • 00:12:47
    recently as soon as the FED started
  • 00:12:48
    cutting such as 0708 it led to a big
  • 00:12:51
    crash because they were they were late
  • 00:12:52
    they were behind the curve that that was
  • 00:12:54
    really driven by um many under under the
  • 00:12:58
    surface problems maybe the FED wasn't
  • 00:12:59
    aware of they're just too late or they
  • 00:13:01
    didn't they didn't realize the intensity
  • 00:13:02
    of it all how big it would be but again
  • 00:13:05
    if you go back to like the 70s and the
  • 00:13:06
    rest when the FED started cutting rates
  • 00:13:07
    markets really lifted off um so and if
  • 00:13:10
    you take a look at what stocks are
  • 00:13:11
    leading now and how you're getting
  • 00:13:13
    better breath and you're seeing um
  • 00:13:15
    interest rate sensitive stocks lifting
  • 00:13:17
    it's interesting there's a lot of this
  • 00:13:18
    action that's in my opinion still
  • 00:13:20
    typical of early stages of a bull market
  • 00:13:22
    that that what you typically see so like
  • 00:13:24
    a lot of the stuff that you us usually
  • 00:13:25
    see early bull market hasn't
  • 00:13:27
    materialized because I think the AI
  • 00:13:29
    trade and the mega caps like just took
  • 00:13:31
    all of that flow of capital soas I think
  • 00:13:34
    some people can look at as a little bit
  • 00:13:35
    more as a a worry that all the fed's
  • 00:13:37
    going to be cutting rates in the past
  • 00:13:39
    sometimes has led to a peak I think you
  • 00:13:40
    have to always look at in context of
  • 00:13:42
    what you know what the reason is that in
  • 00:13:44
    past times that led to a decline so the
  • 00:13:47
    way I'm trying to position is I'm always
  • 00:13:49
    a growth investor first but there's some
  • 00:13:50
    trades that I'm looking at for example
  • 00:13:52
    you know if we expect both inflation to
  • 00:13:54
    come down and interest rates to come
  • 00:13:56
    down that means real interest rates so
  • 00:13:58
    you interest rates adjusted for
  • 00:13:59
    inflation should really drop off so like
  • 00:14:01
    I mean and to to what you know bosk said
  • 00:14:03
    today the fed's restrictive right now I
  • 00:14:06
    mean their their rates if you look
  • 00:14:07
    versus the two-year yield the FED is you
  • 00:14:09
    know maybe starting to become late to
  • 00:14:11
    cut here I think if they want to listen
  • 00:14:12
    to what the market thinks so there's
  • 00:14:14
    some groups and you can see like like uh
  • 00:14:16
    gold has been very strong and what's
  • 00:14:18
    interesting about gold is we're sitting
  • 00:14:19
    at highs if if you were to compare gold
  • 00:14:22
    to like
  • 00:14:24
    um interest adjusted um sorry an
  • 00:14:27
    inflation adjusted Bond you know usually
  • 00:14:29
    there's there's that very strong
  • 00:14:30
    correlation if you bring up like gtip
  • 00:14:32
    which is like the Goldman Sachs um like
  • 00:14:35
    tip Bond it's not a it's not a great
  • 00:14:38
    looking chart but uh the way in my
  • 00:14:39
    marketsmith the way it comes up but
  • 00:14:42
    typically yeah because it's not it's not
  • 00:14:43
    a very high volatile type of it's pretty
  • 00:14:45
    flat looking right you put a daily chart
  • 00:14:48
    you'll see it'll look a little bit
  • 00:14:49
    better uhuh yeah so uh it's the
  • 00:14:52
    logarithmic scale of course that does
  • 00:14:54
    that you know kind of um you know
  • 00:14:55
    flattens it out but on the arithmetic
  • 00:14:57
    scale which we do have on The Daily um
  • 00:14:59
    so typically this is very correlated
  • 00:15:01
    with gold and so it's interesting that
  • 00:15:03
    this is putting in if if the chart was
  • 00:15:04
    larger a really big head and shoulders
  • 00:15:06
    bottom which if this goes up means that
  • 00:15:08
    you know real interest interest rates
  • 00:15:09
    are falling that should really support
  • 00:15:12
    gold that should really support
  • 00:15:13
    companies that are high growth because
  • 00:15:15
    you know they're dependent on Capital
  • 00:15:17
    they they're not you know big earnings
  • 00:15:19
    uh drivers right now most of their
  • 00:15:20
    earnings are in the future so it always
  • 00:15:22
    helps when rates are falling for those
  • 00:15:23
    kind of companies so it makes sense if
  • 00:15:25
    we are at that inflection point um
  • 00:15:28
    whereas people think the bull Market's
  • 00:15:30
    over just because looking at what the
  • 00:15:31
    indexes have done yeah because the large
  • 00:15:33
    caps have led but uh I think if if like
  • 00:15:36
    gtip can break away and start to Rally
  • 00:15:38
    you're going to start to get more of
  • 00:15:39
    that classic acting bull market where
  • 00:15:41
    it's small mids high growth those kind
  • 00:15:43
    of stocks that are really lifting off
  • 00:15:45
    and leading the charge versus just the
  • 00:15:47
    mag
  • 00:15:48
    seven so I mean that that kind of gives
  • 00:15:50
    us a good sense of your expectations for
  • 00:15:52
    the market so if we can kind of switch
  • 00:15:55
    gears because to a large degree
  • 00:15:59
    feels like every Market has its kind of
  • 00:16:01
    differences right um it's like oh uh I
  • 00:16:04
    remember in 2018 uh we focus so much as
  • 00:16:07
    growth investors sometimes on the
  • 00:16:08
    earnings and it was like the market
  • 00:16:10
    doesn't care about earnings that's you
  • 00:16:12
    know oh that's so you know a decade ago
  • 00:16:15
    it it was all about the sales and the
  • 00:16:18
    the huge increases in sales and and
  • 00:16:20
    everything like that and look we saw
  • 00:16:21
    sometimes where people say oh it's the
  • 00:16:23
    new economy like you know famous last
  • 00:16:25
    words of uh you know 1999 and 2000 where
  • 00:16:28
    oh oh business uh plans don't matter you
  • 00:16:31
    just throw dotcom at your you know at
  • 00:16:33
    the end of your name and that's your
  • 00:16:34
    business plan um so there there's all
  • 00:16:37
    these indicators sometimes that people
  • 00:16:38
    can look at um and sometimes it's hard
  • 00:16:41
    to figure out you know where where do I
  • 00:16:43
    go which indicator should I use now
  • 00:16:45
    because this indicator is best for this
  • 00:16:47
    type of environment this indicator is
  • 00:16:49
    best for this type of environment so how
  • 00:16:52
    do you kind of cut through you know the
  • 00:16:55
    noise really because there's all these
  • 00:16:57
    different indicators you have available
  • 00:16:58
    to you
  • 00:16:59
    how do you figure out which ones to use
  • 00:17:01
    you know so to the discussion we had
  • 00:17:03
    before every cycle there's some kind of
  • 00:17:05
    different driver right so this time
  • 00:17:07
    around with inflation the rest earnings
  • 00:17:08
    were more important than other Cycles
  • 00:17:10
    when rates were at Z percent I mean you
  • 00:17:12
    know who cares if earnings are five
  • 00:17:13
    years from now there's no no cost for
  • 00:17:15
    you know for interest anyways we'll just
  • 00:17:16
    sit and we'll wait so that that it
  • 00:17:19
    changes based on cycle and that's what
  • 00:17:20
    can get confusing sometimes because you
  • 00:17:22
    know if you look at just the past let's
  • 00:17:24
    say you know the whole Co bull market
  • 00:17:26
    all the stocks I took off were just
  • 00:17:27
    anything that had Topline growth and it
  • 00:17:29
    was all about the new trends and so each
  • 00:17:32
    cycle um you need to adapt now there
  • 00:17:35
    there's always every cycle going to be
  • 00:17:36
    some stocks that are true to form let's
  • 00:17:38
    say you want stocks with earnings You'll
  • 00:17:40
    Always Find a couple of stocks that lead
  • 00:17:41
    but if you really want to nail a market
  • 00:17:44
    cycle it always helps to understand what
  • 00:17:46
    investors are focusing on and and and it
  • 00:17:49
    may not seem like um it makes a lot of
  • 00:17:51
    sense that that their preferences would
  • 00:17:53
    shift but again because of the economic
  • 00:17:54
    Dynamics it does cause a shift in
  • 00:17:56
    preferences so if you know that's why I
  • 00:17:59
    think relative strength as a tool is the
  • 00:18:01
    most the most important tool because it
  • 00:18:03
    really helps you to um look at all the
  • 00:18:06
    data that's coming in say okay these are
  • 00:18:08
    the the data points we know are
  • 00:18:09
    important we're always trying to figure
  • 00:18:10
    out which companies are growing
  • 00:18:12
    sustainably what investors are willing
  • 00:18:14
    to pay but at the end of the day those
  • 00:18:16
    that are leading in the market are the
  • 00:18:17
    ones that are being rewarded by
  • 00:18:18
    investors right now in this cycle yeah
  • 00:18:21
    so as you're looking at all these
  • 00:18:23
    different stocks and these potential
  • 00:18:24
    stocks again this is always shifting if
  • 00:18:26
    you can always kind of have that
  • 00:18:27
    checklist and be like okay are they at
  • 00:18:28
    least showing relative strength if yes
  • 00:18:31
    it soon starts to become apparent that
  • 00:18:32
    hey they're rewarding either large cap
  • 00:18:33
    or they're rewarding small cap or
  • 00:18:35
    they're report they're rewarding High uh
  • 00:18:38
    Topline growth or earnings growth so
  • 00:18:39
    that relative strength is really the
  • 00:18:41
    important way to kind of double check
  • 00:18:43
    what the theme is this cycle yeah and
  • 00:18:46
    what I what I like about that approach
  • 00:18:47
    because I couldn't agree more but what I
  • 00:18:49
    like about that approach is you know
  • 00:18:51
    sometimes you don't know it's not
  • 00:18:52
    obvious until after the fact right it's
  • 00:18:55
    you know so your signal is kind of like
  • 00:18:57
    okay this is telling you where the money
  • 00:18:59
    is going now you can kind of build a
  • 00:19:01
    thesis as to why but you know look at
  • 00:19:04
    what's happening first um and and react
  • 00:19:06
    to that before you start coming up with
  • 00:19:08
    the why it shouldn't or why it should or
  • 00:19:11
    you know because because again you can
  • 00:19:12
    rationalize yourself out of anything and
  • 00:19:14
    I I often use the point that look you
  • 00:19:17
    can give me some of these headlines
  • 00:19:18
    ahead of time and it wouldn't help me
  • 00:19:20
    the chart helps me but the headline
  • 00:19:22
    doesn't because I I would think it would
  • 00:19:24
    do something completely different um so
  • 00:19:27
    Matt you kind of came up with uh your
  • 00:19:29
    own little twist on on relative strength
  • 00:19:32
    so I've got the Nvidia chart up uh and
  • 00:19:34
    and this is from cuso insights um
  • 00:19:37
    explain a little bit about what we're
  • 00:19:38
    looking at I mean everyone knows kind of
  • 00:19:39
    what's happening with the price but you
  • 00:19:41
    have these blue shaded areas and and for
  • 00:19:43
    people that are maybe listening to this
  • 00:19:45
    you might want to go uh to the video and
  • 00:19:47
    kind of check this out um again for
  • 00:19:50
    those listening to the archive and you
  • 00:19:51
    can find that at ww. investors.com
  • 00:19:54
    podcast um or of course you can go to
  • 00:19:56
    the YouTube um you know check out check
  • 00:19:58
    account Matt's thing uh you can find it
  • 00:20:00
    on our Twitter handles and uh everything
  • 00:20:02
    like that but Matt C could you explain
  • 00:20:04
    what we're looking at here uh much
  • 00:20:06
    detail as you can this came back came up
  • 00:20:09
    to me when I was I was a market maker
  • 00:20:10
    early in my career and and a lot of
  • 00:20:12
    stocks I worked with were precious metal
  • 00:20:14
    stocks so gold stocks are interesting
  • 00:20:16
    because gold itself is probably one of
  • 00:20:18
    the least volatile instruments on the
  • 00:20:20
    market whereas gold stocks are probably
  • 00:20:22
    one of the most volatile in instruments
  • 00:20:24
    in the market so if you just kind of
  • 00:20:25
    looked at any Up Cycle anytime gold went
  • 00:20:27
    up on the way up gold stocks will always
  • 00:20:29
    outperform gold on a percentage basis
  • 00:20:31
    and on the way down they'll always
  • 00:20:32
    underperform so trying to run a regular
  • 00:20:33
    relative strength analysis never really
  • 00:20:35
    gave me that that good kind of
  • 00:20:37
    information so what I started to kind of
  • 00:20:39
    do every day was say okay what is the
  • 00:20:40
    typical um you know volatility for these
  • 00:20:43
    stocks that I'm tracking and I'd watched
  • 00:20:45
    them very closely and so if gold was
  • 00:20:47
    down on the day and the stock should
  • 00:20:48
    let's say fall 3% but only fell 1% I say
  • 00:20:51
    oh this is interesting it should have
  • 00:20:52
    fallen a lot more given how volatile it
  • 00:20:55
    was so by studying that sector in that
  • 00:20:57
    weird spread between the the stocks and
  • 00:20:59
    the asset gave me that interesting
  • 00:21:01
    Insight so I kind of took that a step
  • 00:21:03
    further and really it comes down to kind
  • 00:21:04
    of studying Alpha instead of just
  • 00:21:07
    relative strength so basically you take
  • 00:21:09
    the stock and you look at how it's
  • 00:21:11
    related to the index and you also adjust
  • 00:21:13
    it for how volatile it is how jumpy it
  • 00:21:15
    is and what I do is I look at a few
  • 00:21:17
    different time frames I like to look at
  • 00:21:19
    between three to six months to have a
  • 00:21:20
    more recent reading but the blue shaded
  • 00:21:22
    area is basically when there's like a
  • 00:21:24
    critical threshold is passed where based
  • 00:21:26
    on its relationship to the index and its
  • 00:21:27
    volatility is it is it outperforming
  • 00:21:30
    base for its uh based on its uh
  • 00:21:33
    temperament if that's the case have a
  • 00:21:35
    blue shaded background if not I don't so
  • 00:21:38
    if you look at Nvidia here interestingly
  • 00:21:40
    you can see in January it started to
  • 00:21:42
    turn blue background it had a great run
  • 00:21:43
    up even though we're still pretty close
  • 00:21:46
    to the highs as of now this bad break is
  • 00:21:49
    kind of telling us like hey you know
  • 00:21:51
    given nvidia's you know relationship to
  • 00:21:53
    the market and volatility this is this
  • 00:21:54
    is a bad break so it's it's kind of lost
  • 00:21:56
    that leadership role right now whereas a
  • 00:21:58
    traditional ranking tool like an RS
  • 00:22:00
    which just looks at percentage returns
  • 00:22:02
    over the past 12 months Nvidia still
  • 00:22:04
    looks great so this is kind of an
  • 00:22:05
    interesting tool where it adjusts for
  • 00:22:07
    the specific nature of the individual
  • 00:22:10
    stocks and and so you you're using kind
  • 00:22:13
    of a comparative at is what what's your
  • 00:22:15
    bogey what what is your comparison that
  • 00:22:17
    you're using because you mentioned gold
  • 00:22:19
    versus gold stocks are you getting that
  • 00:22:21
    minute or are you going broad just S&P
  • 00:22:24
    500 so by default I found interestingly
  • 00:22:26
    enough I I even found that I I said stud
  • 00:22:28
    the same gold stocks versus the S&P it's
  • 00:22:30
    really it seems to be whoever is
  • 00:22:31
    outperforming the S&P is really getting
  • 00:22:34
    like the money flow so if you want to be
  • 00:22:35
    if you're a really nich investor and you
  • 00:22:37
    say I just invest in gold stocks or in
  • 00:22:39
    oil stocks or whatever you know you can
  • 00:22:41
    change the point of reference you can
  • 00:22:43
    see I'm GNA compare just to Gold but but
  • 00:22:45
    by default I still always like to refer
  • 00:22:47
    against the S&P 500 that's the the
  • 00:22:50
    default index Everyone's Watching and
  • 00:22:51
    that really helps to show where the big
  • 00:22:53
    money is really rotating to and and why
  • 00:22:57
    why do you use um for instance because
  • 00:22:59
    there there's a lot of different
  • 00:23:00
    measures of volatility um if you want to
  • 00:23:02
    get into the options Market you can look
  • 00:23:04
    at implied volatility looking forward
  • 00:23:07
    you can look at historical volatility
  • 00:23:09
    which people usually use standard
  • 00:23:10
    deviation um you can look at uh some
  • 00:23:13
    people like to look at the ATR the
  • 00:23:14
    average true range over a certain number
  • 00:23:17
    of periods to kind of say oh this is how
  • 00:23:19
    much this stock tends to move um why why
  • 00:23:23
    beta because beta has kind of two
  • 00:23:26
    components to it it looks at both the
  • 00:23:28
    volatil of the stock but it also looks
  • 00:23:30
    at how much it's uh related to the index
  • 00:23:33
    you're comparing it to so for example
  • 00:23:35
    let's say you look at um a telecom
  • 00:23:37
    company it may have low volatility so an
  • 00:23:40
    ATR you know average true range or any
  • 00:23:42
    kind of historical volatility would also
  • 00:23:43
    kind of uh bring you to that conclusion
  • 00:23:46
    but it may not be very correlated with
  • 00:23:48
    the index so by kind of measuring versus
  • 00:23:51
    the S&P but using both those components
  • 00:23:53
    you really get interesting Insight so
  • 00:23:55
    you just brought up uh BCE which is a
  • 00:23:57
    Canadian uh Telecom company and they
  • 00:23:59
    have a really high yield I think at
  • 00:24:00
    their lows was like a 9% interest rate
  • 00:24:03
    yield dividend yield okay which it
  • 00:24:04
    sounds crazy but I mean they're they're
  • 00:24:06
    I think probably the largest Telecom in
  • 00:24:08
    the country so they're a sizable player
  • 00:24:09
    with that yield and you can see they've
  • 00:24:11
    underperformed the entire cycle and
  • 00:24:13
    before people you know start saying
  • 00:24:15
    blame Canada or you know bad things
  • 00:24:17
    about Canada Matt is you know he's in
  • 00:24:20
    Canada right now so it's you know keep
  • 00:24:23
    your comments uh very very friendly okay
  • 00:24:26
    to to our Canadian neighbor
  • 00:24:29
    so so this is a large Telecom so large
  • 00:24:31
    Telecom uh High div yield this has just
  • 00:24:33
    been completely out of favor because you
  • 00:24:36
    know with with rates going up if you can
  • 00:24:37
    get 5% with the government you know why
  • 00:24:39
    take the risk of an individual stock and
  • 00:24:41
    that's what's led to this dislocation
  • 00:24:43
    but it's interesting you can see that um
  • 00:24:45
    coming off of the bottom even in this
  • 00:24:47
    chart here if you look at last fall you
  • 00:24:49
    saw there was a rally from you know
  • 00:24:50
    October into January but the blue
  • 00:24:52
    background never came on because the S&P
  • 00:24:54
    was still pretty strong during that
  • 00:24:56
    period however if you look at right now
  • 00:24:59
    coming off the bottom we're starting to
  • 00:25:00
    get the initial signs that hey we're
  • 00:25:02
    starting to outperform here I mean a
  • 00:25:04
    traditional chartist would look at this
  • 00:25:05
    and be like whoa this is a still in a
  • 00:25:07
    strong downtrend but there are signs
  • 00:25:09
    that we're improving on a relative basis
  • 00:25:12
    for this stocks volatility versus the
  • 00:25:13
    S&P so this when going through a lot of
  • 00:25:15
    charts uh especially at turning points
  • 00:25:18
    in the market where Nvidia has been the
  • 00:25:19
    clear you know dominant king of this
  • 00:25:22
    market and you're looking at this you're
  • 00:25:23
    saying hey this is fallen out and you
  • 00:25:26
    know who's falling into relative
  • 00:25:27
    strength and it starts to kind of again
  • 00:25:29
    like we said you know figuring out for
  • 00:25:31
    the new cycle it seems like every three
  • 00:25:33
    to six months there's a new kind of
  • 00:25:34
    cycle that will take you know uh
  • 00:25:36
    investors attention you help to kind of
  • 00:25:38
    build that thesis like you said okay
  • 00:25:39
    well what's driving is is it more
  • 00:25:41
    interest rate sensitive stocks is the
  • 00:25:42
    market finally pricing in rate cuts for
  • 00:25:44
    real again you know they dialed it back
  • 00:25:46
    earlier in the year if that's the case
  • 00:25:47
    it's going to lead to new winners uh you
  • 00:25:49
    know this is a maybe a a value type of
  • 00:25:52
    play but again going to even individual
  • 00:25:54
    grow stocks you'll start to see that hey
  • 00:25:55
    wow this is really kind of uh hitting
  • 00:25:57
    new groups that weren't participating
  • 00:25:59
    before well and you know to your point
  • 00:26:01
    sometimes that can let let you know
  • 00:26:04
    growth isn't being favored value is
  • 00:26:05
    being favored you know a lot of times uh
  • 00:26:08
    on our general markets page for for
  • 00:26:09
    folks that aren't aware of this uh we
  • 00:26:11
    have our general markets indicators page
  • 00:26:13
    and two uh two Graphics that bill used
  • 00:26:16
    to really like to look at one was um
  • 00:26:19
    basically growth versus value you know
  • 00:26:21
    he used a a simple growth fund versus a
  • 00:26:24
    value fund when the line was going up
  • 00:26:26
    growth was outperforming when the line
  • 00:26:28
    was going down value was outperforming
  • 00:26:30
    um you know or you could also do that
  • 00:26:32
    with big caps versus small caps it kind
  • 00:26:34
    of gives you that sense you know because
  • 00:26:36
    again at the end of the day a relative
  • 00:26:38
    strength really is just a ratio right
  • 00:26:40
    it's just with you know this this number
  • 00:26:43
    over this number which one if it's going
  • 00:26:46
    up the top number is outperforming and
  • 00:26:48
    you know opposite the other way um talk
  • 00:26:52
    to me a little bit about like especially
  • 00:26:53
    on
  • 00:26:54
    BCE you know this seems like it had
  • 00:26:57
    these short blips you know recently a
  • 00:26:59
    short blip and then oh not not not quite
  • 00:27:02
    a short blip not quite now we're in
  • 00:27:04
    another one of these blue shaded areas
  • 00:27:06
    how do you know how how long is enough
  • 00:27:09
    time to say oh this is really catching
  • 00:27:11
    on now as opposed to oh you had one bad
  • 00:27:14
    day people kind of like were you know
  • 00:27:17
    were scared a little bit or a few bad
  • 00:27:19
    days they went defensive how do you know
  • 00:27:21
    it's a real Trend how many days I guess
  • 00:27:25
    yeah so that's why this tool looks at
  • 00:27:27
    like both kind of one- month readings as
  • 00:27:29
    well as six-month readings so it's it's
  • 00:27:31
    a blend of time frames but another like
  • 00:27:33
    way I like to use it as well to kind of
  • 00:27:35
    get again is the theme broader or is it
  • 00:27:37
    just one stock story if you bring up
  • 00:27:39
    other chart uh AMT which is an American
  • 00:27:42
    um uh you know provider of antennas and
  • 00:27:44
    all all the other kind of Telecom
  • 00:27:46
    infrastructure if you can start seeing
  • 00:27:48
    it you know that those kind of turns
  • 00:27:50
    happening in other stocks in the group
  • 00:27:52
    as well so say oh I think there's a
  • 00:27:53
    little more of a broader stock uh group
  • 00:27:55
    move here than just one individual stock
  • 00:27:58
    so that's a nice thing kind of being
  • 00:27:59
    able to compare different stocks within
  • 00:28:01
    the same group will bring also different
  • 00:28:03
    insights as well instead of just looking
  • 00:28:05
    at the stock by
  • 00:28:06
    itself and you know to your point like
  • 00:28:09
    in terms of one of these areas that does
  • 00:28:11
    seem to be favored right now REITs are
  • 00:28:14
    are a big area um you know xlre if you
  • 00:28:17
    look at the sector spider funds or uh
  • 00:28:19
    one of the things we did with David Ryan
  • 00:28:21
    today on IBD live is he was just like
  • 00:28:24
    okay look at look at the market surge
  • 00:28:26
    growth 250 and you know percent off high
  • 00:28:30
    and the stocks that were the least off
  • 00:28:32
    their highs filled with REITs filled
  • 00:28:35
    with financial specialty filled with
  • 00:28:37
    insurance um filled with utilities uh
  • 00:28:40
    electric power so those you know there's
  • 00:28:43
    just a lot of different ways to come at
  • 00:28:45
    this in terms of what's holding up best
  • 00:28:48
    um that's one way I think this is
  • 00:28:50
    another great way of doing it kind of
  • 00:28:52
    again making that adjustment uh you can
  • 00:28:54
    use Market surge charts and look at the
  • 00:28:56
    relative strength line again a very simp
  • 00:28:58
    ratio uh you can put me moving averages
  • 00:29:00
    on them um so there there's a lot of
  • 00:29:03
    different ways to come at this but at
  • 00:29:05
    the end of the day once you figure out
  • 00:29:07
    okay something's happening then what
  • 00:29:11
    what's your next step how do you how do
  • 00:29:12
    you use this information to again does
  • 00:29:15
    this kind of go to that bottomup
  • 00:29:16
    approach you say okay here are the areas
  • 00:29:18
    that I'm
  • 00:29:19
    noticing that are moving the money is
  • 00:29:21
    Flowing to them this is my list or I
  • 00:29:25
    mean if you're a growth investor and
  • 00:29:27
    growth is isn't working do you just say
  • 00:29:29
    okay I'm going to St cash for now you
  • 00:29:31
    know I think that comes down to again uh
  • 00:29:34
    Bill's methodology which is always Rings
  • 00:29:36
    true is is you have to find the leader
  • 00:29:37
    of the cycle no matter what it is so you
  • 00:29:40
    know last cycle was Nvidia this time
  • 00:29:42
    around we're seeing these different
  • 00:29:43
    stocks kind of move higher and you know
  • 00:29:45
    who's the leader of of this cycle even
  • 00:29:47
    if there is this trend taking off it's
  • 00:29:49
    interesting even looking at like all the
  • 00:29:50
    you know the REITs and the rest of the
  • 00:29:51
    stocks we're looking at like you
  • 00:29:53
    mentioned it brings out I think what is
  • 00:29:55
    like um a key principle of the market it
  • 00:29:58
    it doesn't matter what you did in the
  • 00:29:59
    past it's all about what's coming next
  • 00:30:00
    so yeah you know earnings and sales are
  • 00:30:02
    always a great tool to see it's kind of
  • 00:30:04
    like a um you know your track record
  • 00:30:06
    right a company's track record and it's
  • 00:30:07
    just a way to figure out know are you
  • 00:30:09
    gonna keep being this winner if you've
  • 00:30:11
    done it before chances are you'll do it
  • 00:30:12
    again but at turning points sometimes
  • 00:30:14
    and usually driven by bonds because
  • 00:30:15
    bonds are you know have a big impact on
  • 00:30:17
    so many stocks and and their earnings
  • 00:30:20
    sometimes you know by the time the ccal
  • 00:30:22
    by the time they have great earnings the
  • 00:30:23
    move is over because then after they're
  • 00:30:24
    back to fully they're priced fully back
  • 00:30:26
    to to normal so these turns you know
  • 00:30:28
    sometimes you're seeing these reats in
  • 00:30:29
    in different companies and you're saying
  • 00:30:31
    you can't understand they they don't
  • 00:30:32
    have great numbers yet what's going on
  • 00:30:34
    it's investors anticipating that falling
  • 00:30:36
    interest rates are GNA you know boost
  • 00:30:37
    their earnings in the future it it's
  • 00:30:39
    also going to make them more attractive
  • 00:30:40
    as their dividend yields relative to
  • 00:30:42
    interest rates are going to be higher
  • 00:30:44
    and so those are some key themes now you
  • 00:30:45
    can take it a step further and say okay
  • 00:30:48
    well I I don't want to just invest in
  • 00:30:49
    the utility I who's growing that has big
  • 00:30:52
    growth numbers that's in that theme who
  • 00:30:55
    who's exploiting that theme and also has
  • 00:30:58
    a long-term kind of secular growth Trend
  • 00:31:01
    uh that's benefiting so if you're you
  • 00:31:02
    know talking utilities those utilities
  • 00:31:04
    you know towards energy generation
  • 00:31:06
    that's gonna support AI growth that's a
  • 00:31:08
    way you can kind of tie in two themes
  • 00:31:10
    together to try and find true leaders
  • 00:31:12
    versus just a beaten up stock that's
  • 00:31:14
    bouncing off the bottom so really kind
  • 00:31:15
    of building this Mosaic picture looking
  • 00:31:17
    at different things that maybe at first
  • 00:31:20
    glance aren't related but trying to kind
  • 00:31:22
    of build that thesis with all these
  • 00:31:23
    different data points if you can catch
  • 00:31:25
    on early in the trend what's going on
  • 00:31:28
    then that really allows you to get to
  • 00:31:29
    those key leaders which is again looking
  • 00:31:31
    at Nvidia in the past year all you had
  • 00:31:33
    to do was be in Nvidia and you you had a
  • 00:31:34
    good ride right um so you know to that
  • 00:31:38
    point uh one of the things you and I
  • 00:31:39
    were talking about earlier is you know
  • 00:31:41
    again when you're kind of approaching
  • 00:31:42
    this this theme uh thematic approach um
  • 00:31:47
    you kind of were likening this back to
  • 00:31:49
    the the Heyday of the internet right the
  • 00:31:51
    1990s where you did have a lot of this
  • 00:31:54
    infrastructure starting things out um
  • 00:31:57
    you know what what what was it Ascend
  • 00:31:58
    with the switches Cisco you know with
  • 00:32:01
    the networking capabilities and then um
  • 00:32:04
    now you you know after that you got kind
  • 00:32:06
    of the consumer products like Yahoo and
  • 00:32:10
    AOL and you know and and the search
  • 00:32:12
    engines um you know at one point
  • 00:32:15
    remember we were it was all about Yahoo
  • 00:32:16
    and ask G's right I remember that yeah
  • 00:32:19
    things like that you know and again you
  • 00:32:21
    never know sometimes who is gonna be the
  • 00:32:24
    winner of of some of these um you know I
  • 00:32:26
    mean Qualcomm was the by far in a way
  • 00:32:30
    the chip leader because of what they
  • 00:32:31
    were doing in phones um you know and you
  • 00:32:34
    just you you just sometimes don't know
  • 00:32:36
    so I guess there's that um Balancing Act
  • 00:32:40
    of being early enough to kind of catch
  • 00:32:43
    the majority of the trend but not being
  • 00:32:46
    too early to where it's not apparent who
  • 00:32:50
    who's going to lead or or what's going
  • 00:32:52
    to lead sometimes it's a little bit of a
  • 00:32:55
    mismatch as people are trying to figure
  • 00:32:57
    out the theme still so how do you kind
  • 00:32:59
    of learn from that past uh that past
  • 00:33:02
    experience in the 90s and apply it to
  • 00:33:04
    something like AI today I think I think
  • 00:33:07
    we're fortunate because um if you were
  • 00:33:10
    in you know trading in the 90s there
  • 00:33:11
    there wasn't a perfect parallel like
  • 00:33:13
    like a um a growth industry that was
  • 00:33:16
    going to grow that fast so we can look
  • 00:33:18
    back at the internet and what you had
  • 00:33:20
    was the initial infrastructure wave that
  • 00:33:22
    then led to Consumer products like you
  • 00:33:23
    mentioned like the yahoos and the rest
  • 00:33:25
    and then you also had a secondary
  • 00:33:27
    infrastructure wave like Qualcomm you
  • 00:33:28
    mentioned that they only had their big
  • 00:33:29
    move like way late in the 90s yeah and
  • 00:33:31
    also you know originally you know Cisco
  • 00:33:33
    was the big winner but late on late on
  • 00:33:35
    you had like um uh Lucent Nell networks
  • 00:33:38
    where ethernet people demanded faster
  • 00:33:40
    internet so um looking at the current
  • 00:33:44
    cycle nvidia's been that initial leader
  • 00:33:45
    but if you get too fixated on the leader
  • 00:33:48
    from one part of the cycle you sometimes
  • 00:33:50
    you know the opportunity for that leader
  • 00:33:51
    gets fully priced in and then there's
  • 00:33:53
    these new upstarts that come around that
  • 00:33:54
    have these incredible advances so I
  • 00:33:57
    think we had wave one uh even with
  • 00:34:00
    Nvidia I think there was news recently
  • 00:34:01
    about the antitrust and all the rest so
  • 00:34:03
    it's kind of you get so big so fast and
  • 00:34:05
    you run into some other different issues
  • 00:34:06
    but there's always going to be someone
  • 00:34:07
    who's new who's coming to the market
  • 00:34:09
    who's going to provide a new angle to
  • 00:34:11
    make the chips even faster or what I
  • 00:34:13
    think is the next stage is we're going
  • 00:34:15
    to start to see the fruits of all this
  • 00:34:16
    massive capex so you know you're looking
  • 00:34:19
    at companies like Tesla where musk is
  • 00:34:21
    deploying these AI clusters yeah Nvidia
  • 00:34:24
    benefited now because he bought all
  • 00:34:26
    these thousands of of chips from them
  • 00:34:28
    but at the end of the day if you can't
  • 00:34:29
    turn all that into a profit you know
  • 00:34:30
    they Nvidia won't keep selling those
  • 00:34:32
    chips so you know someone's going to be
  • 00:34:34
    generating some incredible products and
  • 00:34:37
    that's going to create a whole new wave
  • 00:34:38
    of opportunity so we need to be we can't
  • 00:34:40
    just get too fixated on one leader
  • 00:34:42
    because as that theme unfolds if you
  • 00:34:44
    look at the 90s there's always you know
  • 00:34:46
    each person will build on the person
  • 00:34:48
    that came before and you know Joe fam's
  • 00:34:50
    been on the show often I always like to
  • 00:34:51
    listen to what Joe says and and he talks
  • 00:34:53
    about how nowadays investor sentiment
  • 00:34:55
    shifts faster than before I feel also
  • 00:34:58
    you know um again with AI and all the
  • 00:35:01
    rest techn technology grows or changes a
  • 00:35:04
    lot faster than it did before so maybe
  • 00:35:05
    saying that the internet was a 10 12
  • 00:35:07
    year rollout we're probably G to see a
  • 00:35:09
    lot faster rapid change going on to new
  • 00:35:12
    names than we did in the 90s as well so
  • 00:35:14
    I think it's gonna be really interesting
  • 00:35:16
    the next few years yeah and and to that
  • 00:35:18
    point I mean there were so many in 2021
  • 00:35:22
    right there were all these IPOs spaxs
  • 00:35:25
    the special purpose acquisition
  • 00:35:26
    companies and and then 2022 that spot
  • 00:35:30
    dried up it was like nothing and it did
  • 00:35:33
    remind me of you know the internet kind
  • 00:35:35
    of thing where you saw the late 90s
  • 00:35:37
    everyone was coming out with IPO and
  • 00:35:39
    again slapping doc on their name and
  • 00:35:42
    that was their business plan and then
  • 00:35:44
    nothing it was just like this desert IPO
  • 00:35:47
    desert for a while so um how how closely
  • 00:35:51
    you're are you watching that IPO Market
  • 00:35:53
    as kind of like oh you know now the now
  • 00:35:56
    the next wave is kind of starting yeah
  • 00:35:59
    I'm watching that closely and I'm also
  • 00:36:01
    watching what companies uh that are a
  • 00:36:03
    little bit larger because if if you look
  • 00:36:04
    at all the you know Nvidia and all the
  • 00:36:07
    leaders so far are the biggest market
  • 00:36:09
    caps of the market there's going to be
  • 00:36:10
    rotation to new names IPO Market's going
  • 00:36:12
    to be really interesting because it's
  • 00:36:13
    been so quiet but at the same time you
  • 00:36:16
    know the money that's going to rotate
  • 00:36:17
    out of Nvidia won't necessarily want to
  • 00:36:19
    rotate into a very small cap or micro
  • 00:36:22
    cap you know IPO type of opportunity so
  • 00:36:25
    I think trying to look at who the key
  • 00:36:26
    winners are going to be have more
  • 00:36:28
    substantial market caps I think that's
  • 00:36:30
    probably going to be the next wave
  • 00:36:32
    because you know from from a consumer
  • 00:36:34
    perspective and an investor perspective
  • 00:36:36
    there's that trust Factor people have to
  • 00:36:37
    feel like okay you know we're actually G
  • 00:36:39
    to get something for this capex you know
  • 00:36:41
    this person's actually able to come to
  • 00:36:42
    markco with a a product that's gonna be
  • 00:36:45
    a real earnings driver in the future so
  • 00:36:47
    I'm looking at you know I think Elon
  • 00:36:49
    Musk again even something like the robo
  • 00:36:52
    taxi which he's going to unveil or
  • 00:36:53
    supposed to unveil October 10th that's
  • 00:36:56
    really an AI problem
  • 00:36:58
    and and you know if there's anyone who
  • 00:36:59
    has kind of that finger on the pulse of
  • 00:37:02
    a a future Tech I mean I think musk is
  • 00:37:05
    someone who could possibly solve that
  • 00:37:07
    it's a lot of wh ifs because the
  • 00:37:09
    products are not around yet but AI is
  • 00:37:10
    moving at such a Breakneck Pace um you
  • 00:37:13
    have to kind of start to anticipate you
  • 00:37:15
    know who could really be the big Winners
  • 00:37:16
    and and I think robot tax it could be
  • 00:37:18
    one uh Uber could also benefit they
  • 00:37:21
    recently signed a deal where they're
  • 00:37:22
    going to be um with GM as one of the
  • 00:37:25
    places where people can kind of uh hire
  • 00:37:28
    these uh autonomous vehicles to pick
  • 00:37:30
    them up or whatnot uh there's there's
  • 00:37:32
    some you know some small upstarts like
  • 00:37:33
    serve SCV they have like these kind of
  • 00:37:36
    Last Mile little delivery robotic type
  • 00:37:38
    Vehicles there's a lot of different kind
  • 00:37:39
    of interesting ways these real world AI
  • 00:37:42
    is going to start to come into play H
  • 00:37:44
    but I think musk is probably going to be
  • 00:37:46
    the first one that's going to be big
  • 00:37:48
    liquid and an opportunity for scale that
  • 00:37:50
    people are gonna be looking at so I
  • 00:37:51
    think that October 10th is going to be
  • 00:37:53
    really important to see how this AI is
  • 00:37:55
    coming to fruition in the real world
  • 00:37:57
    instead of just in theory so let let's
  • 00:38:00
    let's dive a little bit more into the
  • 00:38:01
    into the stocks and I I think it's again
  • 00:38:03
    such an interesting point that you're
  • 00:38:05
    making here um because um you know I
  • 00:38:08
    mean I think back to again if we use the
  • 00:38:10
    90s as an example it was it was very
  • 00:38:13
    different uh then because you had your
  • 00:38:17
    your market cap leaders were things like
  • 00:38:20
    Exxon Mobile you know I mean it was it
  • 00:38:23
    was uh it's hard to you know it's I saw
  • 00:38:26
    this um
  • 00:38:28
    I I I don't know where I saw it but it
  • 00:38:30
    it was really interesting it was kind of
  • 00:38:31
    like your your market cap leaders uh
  • 00:38:34
    your top 10 or 15 or something like that
  • 00:38:36
    over time and I was I was stunned to see
  • 00:38:40
    how many of the market cap leaders in
  • 00:38:43
    the 9s I mean it was it was a while
  • 00:38:45
    before you had like the the IBM the
  • 00:38:47
    Intel you know uh and again like the Dow
  • 00:38:50
    Jones Industrial Average even sometimes
  • 00:38:52
    it's kind of late to the game in terms
  • 00:38:54
    of oh we'll add you on and it's like oh
  • 00:38:56
    okay well yeah after the move is done
  • 00:38:59
    yeah but um let's talk about a little
  • 00:39:02
    bit more of the stocks I mean you you
  • 00:39:04
    you mentioned Tesla already and and I I
  • 00:39:06
    gotta I gotta say like there there are
  • 00:39:08
    certainly some of the things like um
  • 00:39:11
    even with SpaceX where when when I when
  • 00:39:13
    I first saw that like Falcon 9 like land
  • 00:39:16
    I I was like I got goosebumps I was like
  • 00:39:19
    oh my gosh you know how how does this
  • 00:39:21
    change things going forward and uh I
  • 00:39:25
    think you know some people were thinking
  • 00:39:26
    that with you know AI uh the the chat
  • 00:39:29
    GPT um and and starting to think of oh
  • 00:39:32
    what kind of different things can I do
  • 00:39:34
    with this and and seeing some of the i i
  • 00:39:38
    my my daughter is going to college and
  • 00:39:41
    I'm thinking of some of the ways in
  • 00:39:42
    which she can use AI to study that are
  • 00:39:46
    so I mean she can just hit record on a
  • 00:39:49
    lecture have ai come up with a whole
  • 00:39:52
    study guide for her um flashcards you
  • 00:39:55
    know all these different things it's
  • 00:39:56
    just you know I mean sometimes I think
  • 00:39:58
    unfair you know I wish I had that but um
  • 00:40:01
    so so back to Tesla a little bit so I
  • 00:40:04
    guess part of the problem sometimes is
  • 00:40:07
    the story can be so enticing you know
  • 00:40:10
    it's sometimes I get sucked in it's like
  • 00:40:12
    oh this is amazing I mean I was a I was
  • 00:40:13
    a big sci-fi fan when I was little you
  • 00:40:16
    know I I read hline and azimov and um
  • 00:40:19
    and you're you know I loved Back to the
  • 00:40:21
    Future when they go to 2015 and it's
  • 00:40:23
    like oh my gosh look at look at how the
  • 00:40:25
    future is you know so cool and stuff um
  • 00:40:29
    how do you kind of separate the story
  • 00:40:31
    between oh it's it's really happening
  • 00:40:33
    the investors are rewarding this and
  • 00:40:36
    it's not just
  • 00:40:37
    hype well first of all I know you know
  • 00:40:41
    obviously just hype alone is a negative
  • 00:40:43
    you have to produce something but if you
  • 00:40:44
    look at every cycle the really big
  • 00:40:46
    movers are always stocks that somewhat
  • 00:40:49
    kind of capture the imagination of
  • 00:40:50
    people for good or for bad like in in
  • 00:40:52
    the let's say going back to 1970s it was
  • 00:40:54
    really worry about OPEC and you know gas
  • 00:40:56
    lines and was what was on people's minds
  • 00:40:58
    or you know the the 90s the internet I
  • 00:41:00
    mean it was computers like a computer it
  • 00:41:02
    was it was really dramatic kind of stuff
  • 00:41:04
    so I I think Ai and looking at things
  • 00:41:07
    like an auto an autonomous vehicle does
  • 00:41:09
    capture the imagination and it has
  • 00:41:11
    incredible real world applications but
  • 00:41:13
    you know you can't just fall for hype
  • 00:41:15
    it's it's important so that I think
  • 00:41:18
    relative strength plays a part of a role
  • 00:41:20
    but I think this is also where you have
  • 00:41:23
    to understand what management is you
  • 00:41:24
    have to hear what they're articulating
  • 00:41:25
    if if they can't really show path to
  • 00:41:28
    profitability it's probably a stock
  • 00:41:30
    that's going to have a quick run and
  • 00:41:31
    then drop I mean the reason Nvidia you
  • 00:41:33
    know went up so far and is retained its
  • 00:41:35
    gains to date or got you know companies
  • 00:41:37
    like Microsoft and the rest is because
  • 00:41:39
    they've delivered those earnings
  • 00:41:40
    eventually so you know that's I think
  • 00:41:42
    where you have to dis delivered but like
  • 00:41:44
    went Way Beyond like smashed
  • 00:41:48
    expectations you but if you look at in
  • 00:41:50
    apple early like 2003 with iPod it was a
  • 00:41:53
    new invention like no one knew iPhone
  • 00:41:55
    was going to come around and iPad and
  • 00:41:56
    all this kind of stuff so at first it
  • 00:41:58
    was really okay we can see how music can
  • 00:42:00
    be changed and we can instead of a CD be
  • 00:42:02
    in a you know a a hard drive device
  • 00:42:04
    basically and and then after but you
  • 00:42:06
    know Steve Jobs was able to kind of do
  • 00:42:07
    it at scale profitably so again having
  • 00:42:10
    your pulse on what key themes could be
  • 00:42:12
    sometimes the move is enough it's
  • 00:42:14
    substantial enough where hey maybe they
  • 00:42:16
    never get to you know profitability but
  • 00:42:18
    it's a still a 200% move and that's
  • 00:42:20
    that's still a good enough of a trade
  • 00:42:21
    depends your your wheelhouse but I think
  • 00:42:23
    if you're more concerned this is where
  • 00:42:25
    again you can use relative strength to
  • 00:42:26
    find different winners and I think
  • 00:42:28
    another interesting stock is gev GE
  • 00:42:31
    Renova which is an energy generation
  • 00:42:33
    company there was a recent split GE
  • 00:42:35
    recently split into three companies
  • 00:42:37
    right and um I think that they're the
  • 00:42:39
    highest growth um company of the three
  • 00:42:42
    and they're just focused on electricity
  • 00:42:44
    generation they have the oil gas um
  • 00:42:45
    segment they have Renewables and they
  • 00:42:47
    also have small modular reactors which
  • 00:42:49
    is nuclear so they really basically
  • 00:42:51
    whatever whatever segment is going to
  • 00:42:53
    win in the future they have a hand in it
  • 00:42:54
    already and they're already profitable
  • 00:42:56
    they have big earnings uh growth coming
  • 00:42:58
    down the pipe and I just love a company
  • 00:43:01
    you know this goes back to um the book
  • 00:43:03
    you could be a stock market genius too
  • 00:43:04
    by uh Joel greenblat where he talks
  • 00:43:07
    about how you know spin-offs are a great
  • 00:43:10
    sign that management cares about
  • 00:43:11
    shareholders you know most CEOs just
  • 00:43:13
    want a bigger company to manage if they
  • 00:43:14
    went out of their way to break up a
  • 00:43:16
    company and have a smaller Kingdom to
  • 00:43:18
    rule over it's because they really think
  • 00:43:20
    it's in the best interest of what the
  • 00:43:21
    stocks can do so GE splitting into three
  • 00:43:24
    gives it more Focus uh it's young stock
  • 00:43:27
    but I think a lot of flows are going to
  • 00:43:28
    come its way I think it was just was
  • 00:43:29
    upgraded today by Jeff if I'm not
  • 00:43:31
    mistaken and I think there's a great way
  • 00:43:33
    you can play AI as a theme in regards to
  • 00:43:37
    it's just going to be more and more
  • 00:43:38
    electricity generation whether it's must
  • 00:43:41
    that pulls it off whether it's Invidia
  • 00:43:43
    selling more chips or whatever it is if
  • 00:43:45
    AI is going to be what people think it
  • 00:43:46
    will turn into we're going to need more
  • 00:43:48
    electricity and so I think G ver NOA is
  • 00:43:50
    an interesting way you can focus on
  • 00:43:52
    earnings and still be in that
  • 00:43:54
    Trend um yeah it's it's interesting that
  • 00:43:57
    you say that because you know I I I feel
  • 00:43:59
    like for a while there spin-offs were
  • 00:44:00
    kind of given a uh a short shrift
  • 00:44:03
    because it was kind of like oh you're
  • 00:44:04
    you're really trying to get rid of the
  • 00:44:06
    junkie stuff and you know it's it's like
  • 00:44:09
    okay this this this is just we'll look
  • 00:44:11
    better if we get rid of some of this
  • 00:44:12
    junkie stuff but in in the case of GE it
  • 00:44:14
    really was kind of like these are such I
  • 00:44:17
    mean GE was so many things I mean it was
  • 00:44:20
    in Diversified operations because it had
  • 00:44:23
    jet jet engines um it had uh NBC it had
  • 00:44:28
    you know light bulbs it had like you
  • 00:44:30
    know all these different things and now
  • 00:44:31
    it's kind of like oh you can kind of
  • 00:44:33
    understand a little bit more like oh
  • 00:44:35
    this is what this company does instead
  • 00:44:37
    of like oh it just does a little bit of
  • 00:44:38
    everything um yeah but uh you know to
  • 00:44:41
    that end um M 3M seems like it's kind of
  • 00:44:45
    taking a uh taking a page from the the P
  • 00:44:48
    the the the the Playbook of GE and you
  • 00:44:51
    know it just recently did a a spin-off I
  • 00:44:53
    do have a position in 3M myself um and
  • 00:44:56
    uh yeah it is interesting to see how
  • 00:44:59
    this kind of plays out from oh let's
  • 00:45:02
    consolidate consolidate and get as big
  • 00:45:03
    as possible and yeah you know now there
  • 00:45:06
    is some of these concerns as you
  • 00:45:07
    mentioned with Nvidia antitrust uh
  • 00:45:10
    Google antitrust right um is there kind
  • 00:45:13
    of another wave of hey you know you guys
  • 00:45:15
    are getting too big and you know if you
  • 00:45:18
    don't break yourselves up someone else
  • 00:45:21
    will uh kind of thing I'm thinking of
  • 00:45:23
    back in Theodore Roosevelt's days with
  • 00:45:25
    the you know with with with a STI you
  • 00:45:27
    know um but well you know going back to
  • 00:45:29
    the original uh trust that was broken
  • 00:45:31
    which was Standard Oil I mean it was the
  • 00:45:32
    big initial of case and and when those
  • 00:45:34
    companies were broken up all the big
  • 00:45:35
    oils we know today were all Standard Oil
  • 00:45:37
    originally yeah once they were broken up
  • 00:45:39
    they were much more valuable if you
  • 00:45:40
    added them all up broken up than when
  • 00:45:41
    they were conom that really unlocked a
  • 00:45:43
    lot of value that was kind of one of the
  • 00:45:44
    first case studies of how that worked
  • 00:45:46
    out and um so I mean but you know
  • 00:45:49
    whether it's Nvidia whether they're
  • 00:45:50
    broken up whether it's uh not that it's
  • 00:45:52
    going to happen tomorrow or anything but
  • 00:45:53
    whether AMD comes up with a competing
  • 00:45:55
    chip or or so if the end result is more
  • 00:45:58
    electricity generation because AI is
  • 00:46:00
    really solving real world problems then
  • 00:46:03
    someone like gev has the opportunity to
  • 00:46:06
    supply that electricity and you should
  • 00:46:07
    get continued earnings growth over the
  • 00:46:09
    coming years so I think gev is an
  • 00:46:10
    interesting way to play both a move into
  • 00:46:12
    utilities and that more secular AI theme
  • 00:46:15
    yeah um one more stock uh to cover and
  • 00:46:18
    and you know what I I really appreciate
  • 00:46:20
    the folks that did join us live um there
  • 00:46:22
    there's a few names that I recognize uh
  • 00:46:24
    you know from our ibid Live Crew uh so
  • 00:46:26
    some regulars there um you know some
  • 00:46:28
    people giving comments about uh looking
  • 00:46:31
    at Dan IES uh you know saying that hey
  • 00:46:33
    the AI theme you know Dan IV saying it's
  • 00:46:36
    bottom of the first top of the second
  • 00:46:38
    inning you know that's a lot of game
  • 00:46:40
    left to play here um uh you know folks
  • 00:46:43
    mentioning your your point about the
  • 00:46:44
    monetization I mean let's think about um
  • 00:46:47
    you know meta someone brought up you
  • 00:46:49
    know Facebook and you know this this is
  • 00:46:51
    an example we've used before but you
  • 00:46:53
    know if you go back to the original IPO
  • 00:46:57
    here it was you know it was a it was an
  • 00:47:00
    ugly start you know from the IPO even
  • 00:47:03
    though they had such market share yeah
  • 00:47:04
    it didn't matter until right here oh
  • 00:47:07
    guess what we know how to monetize this
  • 00:47:10
    now right and that that kind of changed
  • 00:47:12
    everything um so kind of a a big AI name
  • 00:47:18
    um is paler uh pltr and to your earlier
  • 00:47:22
    point about volatility I mean this you
  • 00:47:25
    know paler i' played it a few times and
  • 00:47:28
    I have not done well because right the
  • 00:47:31
    volatility a lot of times Shake shakes
  • 00:47:33
    me out if if I if I buy it on a pullback
  • 00:47:36
    I do much better if I buy it on a
  • 00:47:38
    breakout I'm I'm toast it's it's not
  • 00:47:40
    gonna happen uh because the volatility
  • 00:47:42
    just shakes me out so what what is it
  • 00:47:43
    about paler that you like so to your
  • 00:47:47
    point about volatility sometimes you
  • 00:47:48
    come to Market and the valuation is just
  • 00:47:50
    so excessive kind of like a meta it just
  • 00:47:52
    takes time for that to catch up and and
  • 00:47:54
    and as new Tailwinds build if you look
  • 00:47:56
    at at what paler has been doing uh they
  • 00:47:58
    partnered with the unit UK's Health uh
  • 00:48:01
    system a lot of other hospitals the way
  • 00:48:03
    they've been able to reduce weight times
  • 00:48:04
    and increase efficiencies in hospitals
  • 00:48:06
    those are real world case studies of how
  • 00:48:08
    AI can take big data and bring really
  • 00:48:11
    meaningful results and if you're going
  • 00:48:14
    to be bringing AI to a lot of companies
  • 00:48:16
    yeah upstart there's always going to be
  • 00:48:17
    room for new upstarts but if you're
  • 00:48:19
    large organizations and you want to
  • 00:48:20
    incorporate AI it's not like the
  • 00:48:22
    internet era where it at first was just
  • 00:48:24
    a website if you're going to have
  • 00:48:25
    something with your data you want
  • 00:48:26
    someone you can trust someone who can
  • 00:48:27
    get the right insights you want someone
  • 00:48:30
    at paler scale to pull that off um so I
  • 00:48:33
    think they have a big opportunity
  • 00:48:34
    they're already showing how they're
  • 00:48:35
    extracting real value from using Ai and
  • 00:48:38
    another Tailwind which is you know it's
  • 00:48:40
    it's not always what you want to see but
  • 00:48:41
    you know going back to um you know
  • 00:48:43
    what's going on around you in the world
  • 00:48:45
    the Peter Lynch Theory see what you see
  • 00:48:46
    in front of you if you look at the kind
  • 00:48:48
    of Russian Ukrainian War so much of that
  • 00:48:51
    has become like this drone Warfare oh
  • 00:48:53
    yeah and paler has just signed some
  • 00:48:54
    recent contracts with the US defense
  • 00:48:56
    department if you listen to the CEO I
  • 00:48:58
    mean he's very cognizant about which
  • 00:49:00
    countries are even allowed to use their
  • 00:49:02
    software for defense purposes so I mean
  • 00:49:04
    if you have a software that's in such
  • 00:49:05
    demand that you can choose who your
  • 00:49:07
    customers are going to be think of you
  • 00:49:09
    know race a Ferrari uh that's a good
  • 00:49:11
    example of someone who gets to choose
  • 00:49:12
    who their customers are that that really
  • 00:49:15
    uh yeah that really signals that you
  • 00:49:17
    have a product that brings value and so
  • 00:49:20
    again looking forward I think paler has
  • 00:49:21
    its fingers on both kind of consumer
  • 00:49:23
    applications and defense applications
  • 00:49:26
    and again if you look at that war and
  • 00:49:27
    how it's become kind of like a drone War
  • 00:49:30
    um and everything that everyone's
  • 00:49:32
    developing you know AI is going to be
  • 00:49:34
    needed for defense and consumers I think
  • 00:49:36
    paler is touching multiple themes I
  • 00:49:38
    think it's caught up a little bit in
  • 00:49:40
    terms of the valuation which was a
  • 00:49:41
    little bit overhot at um at the IPO and
  • 00:49:45
    also I think just AI is starting to grow
  • 00:49:47
    in a more mature way where they can
  • 00:49:49
    finally now you know kick off on new
  • 00:49:51
    trends and Lead that space whereas maybe
  • 00:49:53
    that was still a newer concept even
  • 00:49:56
    three or four years years ago so I think
  • 00:49:57
    paler and again in terms of relative
  • 00:50:00
    strength you're seeing this is leading
  • 00:50:02
    now this is still sitting near its highs
  • 00:50:04
    whereas stocks like Nvidia have broken
  • 00:50:06
    lower off of their
  • 00:50:08
    highs yeah um and and this is this is
  • 00:50:11
    one that really kind of seemed like it
  • 00:50:13
    um got a lot of institutional following
  • 00:50:16
    very very early on um you know it was
  • 00:50:20
    just not not that this matters that much
  • 00:50:23
    but I I'll share with you that one of
  • 00:50:24
    the things for a while there um if if
  • 00:50:27
    you wanted to write an article and you
  • 00:50:28
    wanted it to get a lot of hits paler was
  • 00:50:31
    the clickbait like I mean put paler in
  • 00:50:33
    the name and it didn't matter how bad
  • 00:50:36
    the chart looked you put paler on the
  • 00:50:37
    name and it was like your article's
  • 00:50:39
    gonna do okay you know kind of thing um
  • 00:50:41
    so to the point where you almost don't
  • 00:50:43
    want to bring up the symbol but when you
  • 00:50:44
    really see like a change of character
  • 00:50:46
    you know it's not bringing up the symbol
  • 00:50:48
    just for the sake of the symbol whereas
  • 00:50:49
    you can see like other times it was
  • 00:50:50
    clearly lagging the General market this
  • 00:50:52
    is one versus NASDAQ versus AI names
  • 00:50:55
    like you know this is holding up
  • 00:50:57
    stronger now recently so it's one one to
  • 00:50:59
    watch is I I do think they have like the
  • 00:51:00
    potential here so um in that regard do
  • 00:51:04
    you again because of its higher
  • 00:51:07
    volatility um how do you how do you kind
  • 00:51:10
    of do your entry on something like that
  • 00:51:13
    and I'm asking for a
  • 00:51:15
    friend you need to step lightly and
  • 00:51:17
    there there's never really a a perfect
  • 00:51:20
    solution but the way I build into um all
  • 00:51:23
    stocks is I never put on a full position
  • 00:51:25
    all at once I'll always uh you know if I
  • 00:51:27
    think it's a proper breakout I'll start
  • 00:51:28
    with a breakout or or you know paler I
  • 00:51:30
    bought this just recently on the
  • 00:51:31
    pullback at around 30 and a qu 30 just
  • 00:51:33
    around $30 a couple of days ago um and
  • 00:51:36
    so that's kind of like the first step in
  • 00:51:38
    if it's working and your profits are
  • 00:51:40
    building if this is going to be a big
  • 00:51:41
    big winner you're gonna have a lot of
  • 00:51:42
    opportunity so because the volatility so
  • 00:51:45
    high I I wait to get some profit cushion
  • 00:51:47
    then I use that to my you know to to
  • 00:51:50
    unlock the ability to add more money to
  • 00:51:51
    the stock just kind of plunging
  • 00:51:53
    aggressively in a stock like this can
  • 00:51:55
    can be a little bit more difficult so
  • 00:51:57
    that's kind of where a gev is where you
  • 00:51:59
    can get a little more aggressive out of
  • 00:52:00
    the gate with a stock like that versus a
  • 00:52:02
    paler yeah and um uh one one of our one
  • 00:52:05
