A highlight from Predicting Every Game of the 2023 NFL Season
"I'm Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN's chief medical correspondent, and this is Chasing Life. People measure age in all kinds of ways. Most of us start with the number of years. But as I've started to discover on this season of the podcast, that doesn't really tell the whole story. I guess there's no denying that our bodies do go through some changes.

We've got Mitch Golding here for what is undoubtedly my favorite day of the year, and that is relaying the results of me picking all 272 games on the NFL calendar. I have Mitch here because he is the editor that actually has to fact check the most ridiculous thing on our content calendar. I don't think it's even close. And also to do all of the tiebreakers. So I should ask you first, Mitch, how are you feeling about all of this? I'm great. I love the NFL tiebreakers. This is me in my element. I wish I could just spend my entire year doing nothing but NFL tiebreakers. I think I'd be very good at the, you know, the basically Steve Kornacki after one of the recent election cycles, they just started letting him do it on Sunday Night Football. He comes on the pregame show and the halftime show. I could do that job. Now, I love Steve Kornacki, and so I'm not trying I'm not coming for his job and I'm not trying to say that he is bad at his job, but I think that's like a role for me that I could easily handle. Just put me on there talking about tiebreakers. Oh, I love it. But Connor, I have to ask you, is this really one of your favorite days of the year? Because that's a classic thing that you say now. Let's go behind the curtain. We are taping on Wednesday and this will be revealed Thursday. I know you. You will be a ball of stress. You will be getting requests for radio shows in cities where you said their team is going to go 5 and 12. You're going to have fans yelling at you. I think you're going to be a little bit stressed tomorrow. So just try to remember right now this feeling of how happy you claim to be and try to just keep that in mind tomorrow when when people start slinging their arrows at you. You're right, Mitch. I think that the day when, you know, all radio stations want to have you on to either praise your pick or be skeptical of your pick or fight your pick. I famously got into sort of a verbal fisticuffs with a Cincinnati radio host before the year that they went to the Super Bowl. I had them projected for four wins. And I think I said over and over on the air, find me more than four wins on that schedule. I think Joe Burrow did that and then some. He got him. And but since then, you know, come full circle and everybody in the playoffs alone, which is why if you're a loyal listener to the podcast, you know, I became a Bengals fan. So it's all good. It all. Yeah. Oh, we buried the lead. Connor, how was your first week as a Bengals fan? It was great. Although if anyone listened to the podcast last week, I was between the Bengals and the Ravens. And so my wife and I watched the Ravens commanders preseason game where the streak was broken. And I got I got kind of emotional. I mean, you can read what I wrote about it and but I thought this was a very big thing. And I was very standing on the table ish for John Harbaugh and the Ravens in that moment. But I had to get that out of the back of my head. They're division rivals. And just because I almost picked them doesn't mean that I can't root against them. And so full steam ahead. We're just waiting for news on Joe Burrow like everybody else. Mitch. Yeah, it's interesting. Now everything we read of yours will be through the lens of is he being a biased fan here or is he being objective? And I don't know. I don't know. We'll find out. At least now your biases are out in the open for for all to know. I think it's going to be a fun bit to just fully jump from. I just picked this team yesterday to where have you been? I'm a dyed in the wool Bengals fan. I love Skyline Chili. Have you ever had Skyline Chili? I have. I like Skyline Chili. I know it's controversial. I like it. I'm I'm I'm a supporter. What's your like what's your workup? Do you do the whole thing? I don't. I think so. So I have not had it in a long time. So I couldn't tell you the details, but I well, let me try to remember. I think it's like five ways. I like all this, all the stuff on it. It's possible that it has gotten more ridiculous since I've been there and they're putting on like absolutely crazy numbers of toppings just for Instagram or whatever. But last I remember it was the the spaghetti, the chili, the cheese, the onions. There might have been a fifth one. The sort of I feel like I went there for the first time, right before sort of it became a thing on the Internet that people liked to complain about or argue about or say was disgusting or whatever. And so I don't know, there may have been changes in the years since, but but whatever the classic like as of the year 2010 way is the way that I've had it with with all the stuff available to me in that time. Nice. I yacked in a Skyline bathroom once because I just couldn't. The mountains of cheese. I don't like cheese, but I had a friend order it for me. And so I think if I had to do it again, I would do the spaghetti, the chili and the onions and maybe that would be something I could maybe that be something I could stomach and walk away from. I'm not going to disparage Skyline chili because my roommate used to make a really good Skyline chili dip in college. So I think if I could bring that back somehow, I'm pro Skyline. There's nothing quite like it anyway. So no, no, no, no. Don't anyway. Me. I have more Skyline chili takes. Let me give you a pro podcast is brought to you by Skyline. By the way, I have had, I have been to a Skyline chili establishment and I have had it there in the restaurant. I also, I have been to one Cincinnati reds game at, I think it was called great American ballpark at the time and it has some other new stupid corporate name now, but I ordered it at the reds game and you know, at the restaurant it comes on a plate and you're right. It's piled high with all that cheese. At the baseball game, it came in like a plastic Tupperware kind of situation with a lid and they closed the lid so that you could walk with it to your seat and that process of closing the lid. It got so hot in there that all of the cheese melted and it was excellent that cause you're right. It's the, the cheese restaurant. It's like straight out of the bag, just like the, you know, cold shredded cheese where it's the little pieces, but, but uh, in the Tupperware melted all this hot gooey cheese all over everything else I thought was a, it was a great way to enjoy it. So I have no idea if it still comes like that. This could all be different. I think that was back in maybe 2007 so we're, we're talking about a long time ago, uh, me remembering this chili that I had, uh, but loved it at the ballpark with the melted cheese. It's still great American ballpark by the way. Oh, interesting. Which is a, which so great American is an insurance company. Uh, so it is a company name, however, it's just called the great, like if you called it the great American ballpark, I feel like that's solid. Um, that's going to go down a, uh, that's going to go down a rabbit hole, but all right, I'm glad we landed there at skyline chili. Obviously as big of a bangles fan as I am, I'm going to need to learn to stomach that. I'm going to find the way that I like it. If anybody listens to this podcast and lives in Cincinnati and wants to tell me how to enjoy without skyline cheese, please leave your rating in a review and your ideal skyline markup because then that way I can, uh, I can try to duplicate it when I'm out there trying to get some season tickets and uh, you know, did you hear from any bangles fans this week? I did. Um, I got, I got welcomed with open arms. I'm, I'm pretty excited about it. I do feel like this is the right time to get in. I feel like the super bowl year would have been a little rough.

A highlight from The Mike and Mark Davis Daily Chat - 07/24/23
"People are really getting engaged in the culture wars with movies. I went to a movie, by the way, over the weekend, saw Mission Impossible last night. Was I right? Oh, wow. Isn't it just the greatest? That really wasn't two hours and 45 minutes long. No, it flew. It felt like a half hour. Yep, yep. But people are upset about the Barbie movie, because evidently Barbie's a feminist. People are upset about the new Snow White movie, because Snow White is Hispanic. We've got to pick the hill we want to die on. I don't want to start a Monday by infuriating people by saying we've got bigger fish to fry than Barbie, but we do have bigger fish to fry than Barbie. However, the culture is reflecting sort of a radical left -leaning ideology, where Americans are saying enough is enough is enough. That's why sound of freedom right now. AMC movie theaters, which is where I almost always go, there were accusations that AMC, the chain, was purposefully sabotaging sound of freedom by the air conditioning systems not working and digital. Mark, I've got reports of that all over the country. What do theaters want more than anything else? They want to make money. No theater wants a bunch of hacked off consumers in the lobby saying it's 85 in the theater. I tend to agree, but on the other hand, would you really find it crazy that they're trying to stifle a movie that is perceived as conservative? It isn't a conservative movie. Anti -child trafficking. Thank you. And it's well done. Well, so anyway, last night the CEO of AMC, because they're in a heap of trouble, they are on the verge of bankruptcy apparently. And I remember the movie theater, the guy that runs the chain based out of Dallas, once was, he gave us some assistance with our fallen officer fund years ago. And I forget the guy's name. Is it Leroy? The guy, is it Cinemark? Is Cinemark in Dallas? I don't know. I think the Cinemark movie theater chain is based in Dallas and the guy that runs it is there. And a great guy had a meeting with him and he's a real pro -America, good, good Texan. Is it Sean Gamble? They are based in Plano. Sean Gamble of Cinemark. Does that sound ring about? Well, and that's not who I met with. The guy was - How about Leroy Mitchell? Leroy Mitchell. That's who I met with. And he's a great guy. And Cinemark, but the biggie is AMC. Well, last night, the CEO of AMC sent out a tweet that said, we're in dire straits here. COVID, now the stupid strike. It really threatens to, and so they're going to have to sell more stock. And I don't know that whole world very well, a short sale, whatever they call it, and they're going to start to get more. They have to dilute really the stock value in order to stay afloat. In any event, the AMC chairman and president in sending out this notification called on the top movies of the year that are doing so well for them. And he mentioned Sound to Freedom. There you go. So that kind of validates what you're saying. Hey, they want to make money. They want butts in the seats. And apparently they have them because over the weekend, you're ready, Barbie and Unbelievable, 155 million, Oppenheimer, 80 million. In number three, Sound to Freedom. And listen, Mission Impossible has been out for a couple of weeks now. Sound to Freedom made more than Mission Impossible this weekend just gone by. 20 versus 19 million. How much? 20 million? 20 versus 19. And it just continues to rock. It's well past 100 million. It's crazy. And it's not just a movie, it's a cause, which has brought some disparagement. Because at the end of the movie, if you go to the end of the credits, there's Jim Caviezel saying, this is vital. Please go and bring somebody, pay it forward, pay so that maybe some people can see it who can't afford to see it, which I'm all about. And so the detractors and haters have said, well, a lot of people are just buying 47 tickets and maybe those are empty seats. A, I don't know. B, I doubt it. And C, I don't care because it shows a willingness to support the film as a commodity and it deserves to be supported. The radical leftists are so dumb, they think we can't figure out that the only reason you're pushing back against a child sex trafficking movie is because you don't like the actor. You don't like Jim Caviezel and you don't like Tim Ballard because these guys are hardcore conservatives. Incidentally, have you played the clip of Jason Aldean at his concert over the set? No, I know that he tweeted ahead and said, listen, people can criticize music, but this goes too far. It's baseless. It's dangerous. I'm writing a star telegram column about this specifically. I'm going to have to plug this in. What did he have to say? He said between songs, he said, it's been a long week and I've seen a lot of stuff. He says, I've seen a lot of stuff suggested on this, suggesting on that. As the large audience cheered loudly, Aldean said, what I am is a proud American. I love our country and I want to see it restored to what it once was before this bull blank started happening to us. I love my country. I love my family and I'll do anything to protect that. The crowd then exploded into an uproar of chants, yelling USA, USA. And who didn't know this was coming? First big record for him in 2005, Hicktown, a flyover country. The guys had all kinds of records that speak to bucolic America. So Sheryl Crow says, Hey, I'm from a small town. This is neither small town nor American. Well, Sheryl Crow's roots are in Kennett, Missouri, in the beautiful Missouri boot heel. Let's go there. Let's talk to the locals and see how many of those folks agree with Jason Aldean or how many think agree with her that he's promoting violence. And then this kills me. Jason Isbell, who's so good, such a brilliant performer and songwriter. Hey, hey, Jason Aldean, I got a challenge for you. Write a song by yourself because he didn't write a small town. Like a lot of other people, he sings songs largely written by others. So here's Jason Isbell mocking him. You want to be an artist? Be an artist. Write your own song. I'll wait. Well, maybe let's wait for Jason Isbell to realize there are some other people who largely perform the work done by others. Does he want to bag on Linda Ronstadt next? Maybe he'd like to go after those pretenders names. What are their names again? Oh, yes, Sinatra and Elvis. What a weird, baseless, sloppy attack. This is a total win. God bless Jason Aldean and God bless that wonderful, wonderful record. Try that in a small town. These folks are revealing who they truly are. They don't like the idea of people being able to protect themselves. They don't like the idea of somebody saying we take care of one another. And we got guns and we know how to use them. So that's what they don't like. And to you and me and to most normal Americans, that's a message that resonates. That's America. Sorry, we ain't the UK. We're not France. We are a Second Amendment believing country, but the left, the Sheryl Crowes, the Isbells, I guess those folks just hate that message. Meanwhile, we're looking closer to closer to 2024 to see who's going to get us out of the mess, who can get us out from Washington, DC. This Harris, I don't know if you saw this, Harris -Harvard poll came out. The Harvard -Harris poll, typically pretty reliable. It was released Friday. If the 2024 Republican presidential primary were held today, of course Trump would pretty substantially, 45 to 40%. Now there's 16 % undecided. I'm back and forth on whether Trump should appear in a couple of weeks at the first debate. I think he should. I've been saying it doesn't make any sense for him. You know why he needs to be there? Tell me your reason. I'll give you mine. Good. Let me start. If you believe any of this data, his likability factor is just below that of radio talk show hosts and used car salesmen. He's way down there, right there with Biden. Biden and Trump both have an unlikeability factor, but here's the bottom line. To normal people, Trump's likable. To normal people who aren't poisoned by their Trump hatred and their Trump derangement syndrome, when you see him in a setting like that, you do like him. And I think it's important he's going to have to get that number back up. He's going to start having to win over independence. And one way to do it is to have a solid performance of the debates. Now you go. You're 1000 % correct. Let's begin with the fact that Trump is right when he says, why do I even have to show up? Why should I be taking a tax from Asa Hutchinson and, you know, people who have 2 % of the polls. I don't even need to be there. Let everybody sort it out. And then somebody come after me. He's right about that. However, you are completely correct. There is a benefit to being there, to reminding people how great he can be in that venue, to maybe duke it out a little bit with DeSantis, see how that goes, see how other people engage him, the way they address him and engage him may simply solidify his front runner status. And finally, this is sort of in harmony with what you've said, any opportunity to be on a TV stage with millions of people watching and be likable, be skilled, be quick, be sharp is nothing but a good thing. It's all good. It's all really, really good. You know, I, you mentioned the funeral for Stu Epperson and there were a lot of movers and shakers, Stu Epperson, of course, the co -founder of the Salem Media Group, who passed away this week in Winston -Salem. And I went to the funeral on Friday and many thanks to Carl Jackson for filling in and doing a great job. And there were a lot of key broadcasters there and a lot of big time Republican operatives. I'm not going to mention any names, but I had a chance to talk to people in the green room and sort of, you know, as we were meeting the family and expressing our condolences. And it was a gathering of a lot of people who loved this man's magnificent life and what a life he led.

And remember, pray for those you have promise your prayers. It's 9 53. This is WTO news. When it comes to recreational marijuana, D.C. and Virginia have a lot in common in both places it's legal to have it, but not legal to sell it. There is no path forward right now in Virginia for the legalization of recreational marijuana sales, a bill that would have allowed for retail sales to start in 2024 in Virginia passed in the state Senate, but it did not get enough support in the House of delegates. Democratic state senator Adam Evans sponsored the bill. We are kind of dragging our feet on establishing a retail market. It means Virginia has the same situation as D.C., while recreational marijuana is legal. It's illegal to sell it. It is a different story in Maryland, where a recreational pot is said to be legalized in July lawmakers right now working on a plan to establish retail sales in the state. AMC theaters recently announced a plan to charge more for the middle seats and less for the front row seats. The price of the rest of the seats will stay about the same, but what about the other theaters locally? The Avalon theater in D.C. and the AFI silver and Silver Spring tell WTO P they have no plans to mimic AMC's tiered pricing plan, but the Avalon's Andrew mencher understands the logic. I don't know if they should be outraged really at all. It's sort of a natural extension of what other performing arts and sporting venues do already. Moviegoing has suffered from the one two punch of the pandemic and streaming. Right before the pandemic in 2017, 2018, 2019, each one of those years was around $11.5 billion for the industry.

Nobody wanted to go sit in a room with people who had COVID, so movies, nobody was going. And it's starting to make a rebound, but now it's getting interesting, because two major chains have announced, they're going to start variable pricing. I guess in a way, variable pricing has always been at the movie theater. You have the daytime matinee prices, and then the regular prices. But they're going to get more variable than that, because now a Friday night after dinner is going to cost you a whole lot more on the opening night that's going to cost you on Saturday afternoon or let alone on Thursday at two, both AMC and Cinemark are going to be testing a variable pricing model for their movie tickets. And why it's really important right now and why everybody's freaking out is because AMC announced they're going to be doing it for The Batman movie that's coming out. I think it's this weekend. You've got a superhero movie. It's going to cost you two or three or $5 more to go see it any time of the day or night, no matter what, because they need to make up those profits.

And why it's really important right now and why everybody's freaking out is because AMC announced they're going to be doing it for The Batman movie that's coming out. I think it's this weekend. You've got a superhero movie. It's going to cost you two or three or $5 more to go see it any time of the day or night, no matter what, because they need to make up those profits. You've heard that story before haven't you?

The Three Most Important Charts in the Market
"We kick off a new trading month with the three most important charts in the market at least according to our traders. Let's get right to you. Then i up the iwan russell. Two thousand small-cap etf guy this is your chart. Tell us what it tells you about. The markets well. I'm not one to speak in platitudes. But i love these games at the beginning of months and i happen to think that the i. Wm is as an important to chart was. We're gonna look at you. Go back to last. September twenty twenty. The russell was explode into the upside is a matter of fact. I think it went from one. Forty five to two fifteen pretty much in a straight line but since january it's been going sideways in a very well defined range in a two ten to two thirty five and here. We are now the great louise yomata who is as you know. She's on the parthenon of great technicians. Out there she will say the longer in space the higher and outer space. And i think a lot bowls will believe that as well. It feels like it wants a breakouts. The upside i bring it up because as you know the most economically sensitive names believe it or not. Amc the top holding with half of one percent. Healthcare big component financials industrials and tech. But this has not validated the move and the snp five hundred the russell to break out sort of above two thirty five. Then it's off to the races and the s&p five hundred. That's why i find it to be the most important chart or one of the three. Considering that this is a quote that we often refer to on the show guy given by a person who we regard so highly as to put her on the pantheon of technical now analysts. It's amazing that you've got the quote wrong the longer the base the higher in space the long does exactly what i said higher in space. That's what you said. The thought is their thought. Is there what do you think about the wm. As as a chart that that could portend what what will happen in the markets so yeah. I like guys premise. And obviously i'd been in value. And i probably a little too deep in value to be honest because it did have a nice run.

"What do you need any money correctly it alone. Yes if i could give you a high five five. The british open is ron right. Now give your gone silent golf clap. You need money. We were talking about you trying to expand your business when it was privately held and we said there was essentially two options. What's the first one. Get a business loan correct now when your publicly traded a you issue bonds is the is the is the proper term. God it that means you go to the bond market with a with the private bank. Goldman sachs morgan stanley. And you say. I need to raise five hundred million dollars and i want to issue bonds in order to do this. An amc actually did this where they went and they issued. This was in january. So let me back up for a second for one. Quick second on january first of this year their stock was trading at two dollars and fourteen cents. Why was it trading so low because the stock market was essentially figuring out what we are talking about. This company was on a fast track to bankruptcy right because the expenses were piling up and the cash was going down and even though america was slowly. Starting to reopen people. Were not overly thrilled to go back to the movie theaters. not every portion of america was reopened. And there's no blockbusters it actually talked about this on a previous podcast. About how warner brothers had decided to basically skip the movie theaters entirely and started pushing some of their new moves. Right to eight max. So the stock was essentially trading with a giant red neon. Sign that this thing was a dead man. Walking and while they had cash the mark the stock market was saying. They don't have enough cash. Get from point a to be because even be which is reopening isn't gonna be enough they need to get to point c. and we don't have enough so the stock is essentially worthless when when a company goes bankrupt just to back up for second when a company goes bankrupt. The equity holders are the last to get anything. If there's anything leftover from the fire sale so the the best analogy. I can give to you for that is imagine that you have a house and this is not how it works when when the house is foreclosed on. But i'm just trying to simplify you have a house and you owe three hundred thousand dollars in that house and there's a bunch of stuff in that house the bank comes along and says we're going to sell the house and all the stuff in it and they're going to get there three hundred gram back because that's what you owe them and you'll be lucky if there's anything if you if there's anything leftover we'll give it to you. It's not that much different in the corporate world in which the bondholders the debt gets paid. I and people who have equity which is again similar to you having equity in the house or whatever that you're only going to get paid if there's anything left over and so the shares are representing are at that moment when a company declared bankruptcy the shares typically go to very low if not zero because people say guess what the assets that the company owned isn't enough to pay back all the debt holders typically..

"Money meantime checkout crude oil soaring lately briefly above seventy bucks a barrel oil stocks surging as well. Let's trade this tim. You think oil stocks are undervalued or oil is itself overvalued and it's going to come down because there's a big gap between the two cheat and relative to i think how they're running their businesses as i said earlier with julian manual that i think a lot of these companies are fundamentally different companies that were investing What i say about commodities all the time is you don't buy commodities when the cheap you buy an expensive especially commodity stocks and i think the momentum here where we are with commodities right now outside of where we were going into the financial crisis. I'm not saying that's where we're going with this. But in terms of where we had a commodity super cycle bubble. We're back to early. Seventies in terms of commodity prices overall This doesn't just doesn't happen overnight and it doesn't end overnight and i think until the fed really puts the boot on what's going on that we talk about all the time i think can run higher and again the pain traders that runs higher and the paint trade for a lot of people's also that could include airlines whose hedges are not what they used to be and some of these companies and even you saw this in their last quarter numbers to some of those energy names and i know you know this brian These guys were were headed out at numbers were not necessarily collecting the windfall that it appears so make sure you know what you're buying excellent point about the balance sheet some of these companies by the way have come out of bankruptcy so a lot of the debt has been scrubbed off. Jeff mills if you bring up like a ten year charter. The price of oil and tom lee. This is his chart by the way. And he's done great work on it if you bring up oil versus the soap or the xl league or the h whenever oil was at seventy basically where it is now. The price of these names was ten. Fifteen twenty dollars higher than they are now. So to tim's point. Tommy's point something as miss priced here. Yeah i think there's a catch up to be had in energy stocks if you look at the way. Things are trading just around energy stocks pause for about three months right but if you look at the credit spreads they actually continued to tighten throughout that period of time and now you have ninety five percent of energy names trading above their own fifty day moving average. There's a lot of momentum. There i think the x. l. e. holding forty seven is really important. But how you get exposure important energies top heavy and i think a lot of the best charts are away from those big three young guy. Look at the chart okay. The white line there guys is the price of oil and for the first time in ten years. The price of oil on a relative basis is high. You're look at that again higher than the stop. I'm looking at it. You don't have to tell me twice. I see not happen to agree with you. Tom lee tim seymour. Jeff mills a general karen if she gets in on this because she's bullish well. I think energy stocks in catch up. And we've mentioned we mentioned phillips sixty six twenty minutes ago will mention it again. Ninety two close today highest. It's been in many many years. I think it's going to ratchet up to one ten and you're going to start. Seeing analysts have to raise their numbers. I think this j. p. morgan energy conference on june twenty second if memory serves only stocks into that weight. One ten oil now the stock. Oh excuse dummy not use call and furled buckton oil. Karen turn feinerman look at the chart. Karen i can't i can't see it actually but i line the white line okay given that the guy thinks you're saying should have and i've actually been under weight energy. You know. i look at energy being in tango. And you know. I think the near-term price. Maybe we'll see a continue or not. But if i had to increase my exposure i would either do it through the o. H we're the osx if you want not just oil services but if you want you know other parts you know drilling and production then i would do. The osx underweight maybe. That's all changing. Art was pregnant. Mike for a look at some interesting options activity in one of the big energy names mike. What caught your eye today. I was taking a look at conaco. Phillips traded about one point eight times it's average daily volume and the big trade that caught my eye was the fifty eight and a half fifty eight put spread the traded expiring at the end of this week of thousand of those traded but it was only a ten cent trade basically making a bet that the stock could give back three percent. By week's end the other big trade was a sale of the august fifty five. So i don't think this is overwhelming barish.

"I don't know. I think it's almost their responsibility to step in and lay out the fundamental case as they see it. I mean that's their job so regardless of what's going on and you know fundamental sort of never mattered in the near term right now they're just not mattering for a different reason. But i do think it's their job to step in and tell folks what they really think what they're seeing from a fundamental perspective and. I think it's our job to then highlight the risk of what's going on in the market and you know we're adults. We're not telling anybody what to do with their money but at the same time there are massive risk. You can't tell me that there aren't asked the folks who bought. Amc at twenty and five. You know how. How are they doing. Probably not that great And the last point that i'll make is just again. It goes back to twitter and the conversations that are going on from my perspective. This isn't hedge funds versus retail. This isn't institutional versus retail. You know all of the institutional shortsellers. All they're trying to do is make money. There's no secret back room where they're all sitting around. There's some big conspiracy theory you know. That's just not reality. And i hope people understand that that's well said but i will say this. This show is all about telling people what to do with their money. I think the enough. Oddly enough i will say fine. Let's move on because you did something really cool for our viewers today because there's all this talk about short selling we talk about flow. You tried to. I guess short or maybe did short. Some shares of am seat. You made some calls. Tell us about what you did today. And more importantly what you found out. Okay so i did not try to short. Amc orgy me. But what i did want to do. And what i did do is find out from you. Know the goldmans. The j. p. morgan to the world is their stock available to borrow to be able to short the whole thing about baking. Shorting is the idea that someone doesn't have a borrow and so i wanted to find out. Is that really the case. Can you not get a borrow. And i suspected that those kinds of firms would say you look. It's a really tight borrow. We can't guarantee you any and it's a fortune. You gotta pay a ton and interest to borrowed but in fact it was not that at all and amc. Both easy borrows even easier for the price to borrow sixty basis points a year near nothing. The price of amc which i thought would be enormous seven percent per year which given the volatility that the stock trades with is nothing more than that moved way more than that just today alone so that tells me the reason that the bar is an expensive is because there's not that many people who want to borrow and short it you don't need to take the risk of being a naked shorter when you can easily just go borrow it from a brokerage firm so i kind of to me. That debunks the whole naked short theory now. I'm sure i'll be added. You know. But i don't get the whole thing either. I'm sure your speeskater option trader. There's money to be made with given the volatility the where things are trading but for me just a value investor. I this is so it's so divorced from any kind of valuation metric. That i would ever use the treated any price so for me. I'm just gonna stay away to get it. I don't need to get it. I don't need consensus at five dollars and ten cents. But they're only a thousand percent wrong. Tim the the are but but would it be right for an analyst just because the stock is moved to fifty six dollars to upgrade the stock thirty five. I mean i. I actually i think it shows an incredible amount of resolve to stand in the pocket and actually keep a five dollar price target on a stock. That's fifty six bucks if your fundamental view hasn't changed and karen is talking about valuations. She's talking about her approach. Investors in her discipline You know. I think that's really what this comes down to. There are plenty of folks that don't follow that discipline that's fine. That's been very very profitable but to ask an analyst to to make a call on a stock that makes no sense to their fundamental discipline especially a sector-specific analyst who knows Not just the the balance sheet the income statement but also secular tailwinds or headwinds. That's the story. Fahrenheit guide is a take care in by the way awesome stuff. Does it tell you that that the short game on these names is over. Well that narratives debunked tried to point it out a number of time. Think about rich wingfield. Kevin this show week or so ago and talked about a billion and a half shares traded over the course of three or four days. You could have coverage shorts four or five day. I'm giving that so. I mean we tried to point this out but it doesn't fit the narrative. That's out there. I will tell you that this move is not a short squeeze in the true sense that we talked about it. There are other things going on to your point about our k. Goes i think. They're derivative books out there that are on the verge of blowing up and i think our next guest is going to point out why that might be deleterious tim to the broader market. They're nice job. Well speaking of our next guest. Let's do that. And he does warn that wild swings that we're seeing some of these types of stocks maybe signaling a cruel summer we did there with the whole abe anyway for the broader market. Julian emmanuel is chief equity andrew of strategist also a fan of the movie. Karate kid which that song was featured. Julian talked about your concern it. Can you connect the dots between ten or fifteen stocks and the macro market. You actually can't. But first thing i want to say it's great to see the three of you back on together. Obviously referencing classic rock. And i'm looking forward to playing sports trivia with you all when it's time to take guests again so you in fact actually can connect the dots here if you go back to january. We saw massive levels of speculation. Obviously the stock that is the current superstar of this mean stocks. Right now was not the same one back in january. We all know what it was but what you saw was just incredible froth in the options market option volatilities of a thousand percent and this case going back to the end of last week option volatilities closer to fifteen hundred percent which really says something in a market that there has been no other clear leadership of the last two months a market where we still believe. There's some concerned with inflation that the fed is not properly addressing. And frankly looking at the number of bears on the latest sentiment survey which hasn't been this low since right before vol magadan in january of two thousand and eighteen and we think if if the music stops in these memes stocks it could like february and march caused more volatility in the broader market. Well so it all comes down to the fed interest rates. I think that's what you're saying juliet. So we're kind of starting to be hit over the head by janet yellen lael brainard bullard others. I mean they're kind of starting to say. Hey guess what rates are going to arrive. They're going to go up and jenny jones said today death a bad thing when rates go up to quote the movie margin call does the music stop or just slowdown unbalanced. It's not a bad thing but we really have to manage this very precisely. You know in a lot of ways if you look at the last couple of months and we're almost glad to see the dialogue turning here chair. Powell has been very very you know. Sort of shrugging. Off the fact that you have these very very high readings and the fact that the economic data lead you to not be able to truly forecast weather. Inflation is transitory or is becoming more embedded so what we would say is in an economy. That's growing six seven or eight percent this year and look set to grow at three to four percent next year. It's the right time to start pulling back from monetary accommodation. It's the.

I remember two thousand eight two thousand and nine at tweets back. Then we got hate mail saying i wish you guys and gals at warned us and here we are trying to do something again now. And you know these folks don't want to be warned which i totally get. We're not trying to protect you from yourselves. We're just trying to point out the just the the folly. That's behind all of this again. Just my opinion. Yeah i mean. I think is definitely a were that many people out there would use other people would say that it is doing what he needs to do. A ceo as ceo. He needs to raise money. He needs to sell a lot more shares. We talked to richard greenfield yesterday light. Shed partners who said that. They need to raise a whole lot more money in so doing what he needs to do to convince shareholders to issue those shares. Isn't that just that's not that's doing. What a ceo needs to do in the moment. I mean i don't know and where do you fall on that. I agree with you. I think that he needs well going back six months. He needed this. Save the ship you needed to prevent them from going under literally so now that that is that risk at the moment is off the table because he's rates raise cash and because his maturity are talked about in the video he doesn't really have any big maturity coming up for the next few years so he has time but it's not like the stock now is trading equity like an option value. It's tracy get a gigantic market vet pharma cab so to me. I think he's he's done everything right. I just can't. I know i come from fundamental free cash flow driven analysis and out of favor and can't even tell you so we look at when you look at fundamentals. Now what are the fundamentals the matter short interest and social velocity. So two guys point when you look at that. I totally agree but prices truth right. How many times this guy say that. How many times does the market say that price is truth so of prices truth. Then what we're looking at is truth. If you have the best short thesis in the world the market rallies you lose right. That was ten years ago. That was five years ago now so right now whether or not you agree with that. Amc is a good stock. Best in different. This is the new fundamental reality that we are

"What goes through your mind when you're watching all of this madness play out. Well the first thing that goes through our mind is that management is smart. How they've played this. They've raised over five hundred million dollars. Thanks to the search and traders and over eighty percent of am she shares are now owned by retail investors. So they're certainly catering to that target demographic here but that's actually not what's causing this crazy pop and it's actually a little bit more confusing than what media makes it out to be which is just that all these people are flooding into. Amc that's why the stock is up in the hundreds of percents and only a few days really more about options and how options are playing on amc. It's complicated process and to keep it. Short essentially options are causing in the hedging process for options are causing huge increases in the share price. That are definitely going to be temporary. And what's really sad about this whole situation that oftentimes people who end up suffering the bird in the most are those eighty percent of retail shareholders. And a business like amc. Let's move on to some earnings then we're going to start with docu. Sign up more than fifteen percent on friday after first quarter profit and revenue were higher than expected the electronic signature company also provided upbeat guidance. And jason i know this company did well during the pandemic when everyone was doing business remotely but docu sign really seems like it is set to thrive during the great reopening as well. Oh yeah yeah. I mean it feels like this has gone from just a helpful way to get through a difficult time to absolutely just the way people want to do business. Now i mean it's it's very hard to find anything wrong with what's going on here with docu. Sign it's not just the e signature company anymore. I think that's really. That's that's been a gateway drug if you will that really gets customers in and it hooks them for all of the other capabilities that they're building out with the agreement cloud in the numbers. All show that the strategy is working top. Line growth of fifty eight percent for the quarter. They raised guidance again. This is going to be a two billion dollar revenue company by year's end with eighty percent gross margins a massive suite of offerings instill a lot of share to capture so i understand the profitability concerns. But let's give them a little. Let's give them a little leeway here because they're making the right investments total customers now just under one million. It was up from six hundred sixty one thousand a year ago. Enterprise customers now at one hundred and thirty six thousand. That's up from eighty nine thousand just a year ago international now becoming bigger part of the business here just crossed over the one hundred million dollar mark for the quarter again dollar net retention rate one hundred twenty five percent so they're keeping their customers and they're growing those relationships operating leverage becoming very apparent. The business in this little acquisition that they made recently a little start up called clause. I think just shows the position that they're in. Now this is. This is one of the market leaders. And they're going to be able to consolidate bring those neat little startups into into their into their family and build out capability so a lot of things to really be optimistic about with john. First quarter revenue for lululemon athletic rose percent. The apparel retailer also raised guidance for the full fiscal year. The stock was treading water. This week. Emily but these seem like the kind of results in guidance. You would want to see if you were a lululemon shareholder. This was a really incredible quarter for lululemon. But i'm not sure how much of it was truly a surprise. I think anybody with is or any shareholder of lululemon knew that there were clear tailwinds for this business as stores began to reopen especially as we head into the spring and the summer months so the fact that they had earnings and revenue beat expectations alongside raising full year. Guidance and second quarter guidance really didn't take the market by surprise. What did take me by surprise. Though was just looking at the two year strength in numbers for their men's and international businesses. That's going to be critical for driving. Growth in justifying today's valuation of lululemon and men's is still growing faster on a two year basis than there are women's business right now admittedly it's coming off of a smaller base there but that does go to show that a lot of the growth is going to be convincing more people that hey we are just leggings company. Despite the fact that that's how media likes to present lululemon their business that caters to f- leisure across all demographics all across the world if management's able to make good on their claim that they aim to have a fifty fifty international north america split in terms of revenue for their business over the long term. This could be a great stone. Was there any on the call about mirror. Which is the company they acquired last year to compete with peleton. I'm over the holidays. We saw a lot of marketing. Push from lululemon about mirror. I'm seeing a lot more from nordictrack these days in terms of Trying to compete with pelivan less so with mirror mirror has always not intended to take away from the ownership or the ownership of the market for the palestinians in the nordictrack. But rather add to it. Right it's a completely differentiated products. And what's interesting about the way that lewellen in their management team talks about mir is. It actually operates as a funnel into a kind of culture. A lifestyle brand that is lululemon. Somebody can own both amir anti nordictrack or a peleton. So it's additive. The way that i see it but also importantly it's it's going to be added to their business. Structure won't move the needle this year but they're adding two to three hundred million dollars on their top line from the acquisition of mir expected. So we'll continue to watch that hopefully grow over the next few quarters. Shares of zoom video are still down from their high for the year. But up a bit this week. After first-quarter revenue grew one hundred ninety one percent. The growth is slowing jason but a year ago. One of the big questions about zoom video was how many of these customers can they keep and it looks like they're doing a pretty good job answering that question. Yeah and liked that this follows our docu sign coverage because this feels very docu sign esque and how they're iterating and ultimately writing their second act. I mean the video chat for zoom has been the gateway much e signature has been four. Doc you signed but now it's about building out a platform and allowing companies and customers to do more to be more productive with these tools that zoom as bill to be able to work and ultimately becoming a hybrid world right hybrid workforce world and so examples. May they've launched a video. Sdk launched that in february. They announced that one hundred million dollar fund in order to help build out their app presence ultimately letting users bring favorite apps.

Because the daily average of doses given out has dropped by like sixty seven percent since the peak in mid april and where there isn't vaccine coverage there of course is a chance for more spread. Yeah and then. We got news of what america's plan is to help get the rest of the world vaccinated. And how will finally be sharing doses with other countries. So what's the word. Yes so we got our first glimpse of this Yesterday by the end of this month. America's planning on sharing eighty million doses. The white house broke down. Where the first batch about twenty five million shots are going to be shared about. Nineteen million doses are going to go to kovacs. Which is this international program by the world health organization to get vaccines to poorer nations. Those doses will be dedicated specifically for south and southeast asia. Latin america and the caribbean and africa than the rest of what we're sharing it. I will head to places experiencing surges or where the need is more immediate that includes india iraq. The west bank in gaza and more and the clock is ticking here. The who recently raised the alarm about rising test positi in fourteen african countries with concern about it conceivable wave that could spread across the continent and the us embassy in afghanistan. Recently recommended that us citizens actually leave due to worsening conditions. They're much much more. We will get into soon but onto something. That couldn't be any more different. This week has been another crazy ride on the stock train. Can you help break down. What has been going on. Yes india gideon so for those who are unaware of the concept of stunks They are simply the mean. Stocks digital currency tidal wave sweeping the nation and in regards to the ladder the entire world. So we reported on. Amc game stop and nokia earlier in the year. When shortsellers collective saw this big opportunity to make quick cash but since then a lot has happened. The app robin hood froze people's assets. Read it made some communication channels disappeared. Those coins moon word. Trajectory was derailed after elon musk hosted. Snl and bitcoins value dropped by twenty thousand dollars plus the latest news though surrounding these volatile stocks and currencies is that amc made good on that huge influx of cash which is allegedly a billion dollars worth between december and january and earlier. This week rallied to its highest share price yet but then yesterday it closed down twenty percent but also hey still up in general okay some major swings up and down here. So what actually accounts for these latest gains. Just more memes. We are talking about real money gideon so at the beginning of the week. Amc made gains by selling stock to a hedge fund then by selling more shares on the markets. Yesterday the company said that it raised over five hundred eighty seven million dollars in additional equity capital. But it's not exactly like amc's ashamed of the clout in fact they're leaning into it. They've started a new platform for investors to get free popcorn or advance screenings of films which might not seem like much. But if you've left your house lately it seems like everything is way too expensive also smart way to get people to still buy tickets and support your company the old fashioned way by sitting in a theater getting the feet sticky and watching pretty people kiss despite all the high highs and lows the takeaway. Is that this wall street. Strategy has allowed. Amc theater chain on the brink of being closed forever to bounce back. Justice things are reopening nationwide. Yes oh is it safe to invest in these stocks. Are we all too late to benefit this point asking for not anyone in particular well. This is not financial advice but amc themselves put out a statement yesterday. Basically warning prospective investors of the volatile nature of the stock which also almost certainly contributed to the dip at the end of the day yesterday in the statement they said quote our current market prices reflect market and trading dynamics unrelated to our underlying business or macro industry fundamentals. And we do not know how long these dynamics will last each israel and wall street analysts are also not convinced that this kind of thing has staying power but for younger generations with no accrued wealth because of stagnant wages investing one hundred dollars. Here there seems worth the risk at least in the short term those young brave cap invest here and there and the fun uncharted wild west of memes stocks. The odds be ever in your favor. We'll keep you posted on how this all shakes out as theater star going wide with releases again soon and. That's the latest for now.

"On Wall Street, and you know, for example, stocks like game stops, stock and and BlackBerry stock. And what is an AMC stock? All these different companies? There are $5 a share and then they're explode. I think Gamestop got upto like border and $80 a share. Now it's among their among a handful off previously. Wow. Unloved companies. Maybe you could put it that way is the New York Post. Put it today. Prices, air fuel, Then you've got these big hedge funds. The big hedge funds they charge for every trade if you buy or you sell this those commissions associated with those trades, But there are other places where people trade read, it would be one of them. And so what? They have figured out there's a process on Wall Street, and I'll let Steve Moore explain it more detail and more articulately than I can, where it's part of the process of Wall Street, where the shortest stock And that is that they're going to predict him. Bet that the stock is going to go to a lower price anyway. Long story short to do that you actually borrow somebody's real stock, and they get a piece of the action so that you can then short it and then at some point If, in fact it goes down. You get the difference in the price and other words, you're betting on it going down big big practice on Wall Street, especially used by the hedge funds anyway. So these independent small guys got hip to what has been going on in the millions of millions of dollars being made by these big hedge funds. Billions actually. And they figured out that they were actually shorting stocks that weren't even like phantom numbers. Like for example, they were shorting well beyond 100%. Of all the stocks that were ever even available in some cases, 140% And the idea is is when the call comes for these big hedge funds that had shorted the stocks because the little guys have banded together. And coordinated an attack against them. It all backfires and they've got to cover. They've gotta cover massive amounts of money that they never thought. What happened. It's pretty fascinating. Anyway, Um, my buddy

"We are in basically a three-way standoff with hedge funds retail investors and then the giant question mark of government regulations and trading platforms. If Government Regulators decide to step in if trading platforms decide to shut down even more true that's going to have massive impact on what happens here. We really don't know how this is going to play out. And anybody who says they do take them with a grain of salt. I say that as someone who has some am seeing a little bit of gme and some Dogecoin in his portfolio. But still please be careful. Don't invest any money you aren't able to lose also another word of caution. Don't fool. This is entirely a David V Goliath situation here. Wall Street is very smart. And there are a lot of firms not named Melvin capital or Citadel some of those firms were already long on GameStop many others saw what was happening and took out big positions. So while this has often been framed as Wall Street vs. Reddit that's not entirely accurate but for retail investors their choice might actually be a bit of a silver lining because what it means that the deck is not entirely stacked against you plenty of uber rich people have a lot to gain from this short squeeze as well. If it was all about money versus a bunch of people on Reddit. Well, I think history tells us who's going to win that but there's a lot of money on the GameStop side too. So who knows how this is going to play out wage. It's important to recognize that all the billionaires who are tweeting out their support. I'm looking at you Elon Musk and Mark Cuban might not be doing that entirely for altruistic reasons. Just a heads up dead. Like I said who the hell knows how it plays out. What I do know is that I'm not a financial adviser and that we just like this stock. I've got more content for y'all over this weekend too great podcasts. Actually the first thoughts on this topic it is with Victor KO, he's a partner and Analyst at RSM one of the leading accounting firms in the US. We were actually already scheduled for a show on Thursday prior to all the GameStop's breaking out. So we spent the first fifteen minutes talking GameStop the stocks what's going on here part of my explanation I pulled from was from that podcast, but you're better off Victor explained to you because he's smarter than I am and then the second half of that podcast is actually about the Roblox IPO and what the company gained by delaying that initial public offering of the company went from an eight billion dollar valuation the early part of 2022 Twenty Eight billion. 28 billion dollar valuation off their last series age funding round with just closed last month. So we talked about that rapidly growing valuation as well as discords which ruins 3.5 billion to 7 billion / 6 months and sort of where gaming stocks are at right now where these IPOs are eventually leading where valuations are going all that kind of good stuff. And then our second show over the weekend is another really good one in my opinion. I talked with Mark Debbie's the program director of the University of california-irvine esport. UCI is arguably the leader when he comes to e-sports infrastructure in colleges across the u.s. They have one of the top competitive teams. They also have a really in-depth research department. They have an awesome Arena spooky Maine once put $50,000 down in scholarships for players in their program. It's a really interesting unique program and Mark has been one of the leaders of ecology sports for almost a dog. Paid now actually since the UCI program was created back in 2015, and he's been working in this space before that. So if you want his thoughts oncology Sports in general there

"About a revolt against Wall Street, right? And at the heart of this revolt is the company game Stop. Maybe you've seen one of these video game stores at the mall, although when was the last time you were in a mall? Stay tuned. That's actually part of the story. Over the past week, a big group of amateur investors on Reddit pushed game stops stock price too crazy, crazy heights. Gamestop wins and all this and Wall Street hedge funds lose. To explain. What is going on here is NPR's Raphael. Mom. Okay, so this situation with Gamestop has been all over social media. What exactly is going on with this stock? So this all started in the Reddit group called Wall Street Bets. It's a form where rebel investors gathered to exchange stock tips share means boast about the trades, and one stop that cut their attention was Gamestop. It's a struggle of retailer and many professional investors were actually shorting the stock. Now what that means is that this investors, the professional investors were betting that the shares were going to fall. Well, People are Wall Street bet, and there's two million of them by one estimate, did not think shares would fall, so they started driving up Gamestop shares by a lot now that put that put the Wall Street firms who are hedging the who are shorting the stock in a serious bind. Is in order to get out of the stuff for short. What you have to do is buy back the stock. It doesn't matter how expensive this stuff has gotten. You just have to buy back and guess what happens when that When that happens, it's the share search. And how much Gamestop shares ended up gaining 1700% this month and 130% yesterday alone 1700%. So why the focus on Gamestop in particular? So that's hard to say. Some people generally think Gamestop is a good stock, but for many others, they seem to be motivated by trying to get at this professional investors in trouble. There's a populist soak the rich argument that's popular in this social media platforms and one of their biggest victims was a well known henchman called Melvin Capital. This week, Melvin was forced to close the door game shops game stopped short and and take a huge loss. And this has put other Wall Street firms and notice already, retail investors. Groups like Wall Street bets are going after new companies, including the AMC, the movie theater BlackBerry. Both the stocks posted great games this month for the same reasons this game stop. And what do we make of this? I mean, is it a good thing? Well, this is certainly a David, which is good value film into this markets have done phenomenally well last year, and professional investors have done pretty well for themselves. So Yeah, there's that populist element in going after them. When markets are also a very important part of her financial system. And when you create volatilities and fear like this, it can't make things very dicey. Retail investors have, at least in this case demonstrated to Wall Street that they have some power. So how does this affect the future of the stock market? Hmm. So the activities really shook Wall Street. Millions of retail investors started trading stocks last year that we knew, but we fairly seen something like this, where retail investors band together and go about targeting professional investors. So this is definitely going to attract regulatory scrutiny. One key question is going to be was their market manipulation. Did crew did investors band together and deliberately drive up the shares to then sell it that would be pump and dump but proving that is gonna be a very big undertaking for regulators. And there's also this.
