- 0:00You know the central banks they orchestrating rallies off of short squeezes since you know
- 0:05early two thousand and nine. You can make a case from the low of
- 0:09two thousand and nine when the S and P five hundred traded at sixty sixty
- 0:13six on March sixth, that that was an orchestrated, no reversal, massive
- 0:19short squeeze. So you know, these guys know that this is the name
- 0:22of the game. It can't stop either. There is no other remedy.

- 0:57o's Carrie lutz Nick. Hey a little while, we've both been on vacation,
- 1:02family and all that good stuff. Now the year has started, we're
- 1:07hitting the ground running. So we're going to do a basically your insights into
- 1:12twenty twenty four bernstlet's juice, just do our standard market rehease. What's the
- 1:19market doing today, Yeah, we got a mixed session today. Technology is
- 1:23actually getting a bid that's been weak recently, having video trading higher. That's
- 1:26up over five hundred dollars. So everybody's talking about that today. AI back
- 1:32in the and the main scene of things. But overall, you know,
- 1:37since the New year's begun, we've gotten a little bit of a pullback from
- 1:40that very very overbought position that we had going into the end of the year.
- 1:44And that was a big short squeeze there. And I think that short
- 1:47squeeze now has the remedy itself, and you'll start to see the market chop
- 1:51around here for a little bit. But ultimately I don't really see anything problematic
- 1:57yet, at least for the markets right now. Well, I know they
- 2:00say Santa Claus only comes once a year, and we had quite a Santa
- 2:05Claus rally, didn't we. I mean almost from the moment they put up
- 2:07the Christmas lights. Yes, j Powell decided to put on a Santa suit
- 2:13this year. He's a little bit thin, but it worked out. Nonetheless,
- 2:16you know, the Powell pivot did the trick, and you know,
- 2:20nobody expected that. I didn't expect that myself. I thought he would talk
- 2:23hawkish because he really had things in control with the two year treasury yield bawling
- 2:29below the Fed funds rate. But you know, I think it was December
- 2:31twelfth, December thirteenth when he came out with that decision, and it really
- 2:37gave us another big rocket ship boost to the upside. And you know,
- 2:40now the markets are just trying to work that off a little bit. We
- 2:43have earning season starting up in the next couple of weeks, so that'll be
- 2:46pretty important as well. We'll start to get some numbers from some of these
- 2:51companies and see how things are truly faired. You know, you never know
- 2:54how the market is when it gets you fork like it did off the Powell
- 2:59pivot. Yeah, well that power. But we're going to talk more about
- 3:02as far as UH sectors. I remember we saw housing stocks hit that new
- 3:09high. I think it was December one that hit the all time high.
- 3:15All the major housing stocks, whether it's Toll Brothers, Kadi, Lennar,
- 3:21right around that same time, within a two to three day time period,
- 3:23they all hit that high. And that was kind of the giveaway that somebody
- 3:29knew something. Right, that's right. You know, the housing stocks were
- 3:32not going down. They were acting really really well. They were moving up.
- 3:37And somebody always knows something in this business. It's just not us,
- 3:39but somebody always knows something. You know. We have to look at the
- 3:43charts and try to find the patterns, and you know that that's how we
- 3:46go about our business. But somebody always knows something. And you know it
- 3:52would really was. The market moves on surprises, whether it's to the upside
- 3:55of the downside. When the market doesn't have something calculated in and you get
- 4:00a big move, you know that it was a surprise, and that really
- 4:03was shocker to see him lower his his rate out look, after being so
- 4:08hawkish for so long, all of a sudden, you know, two weeks
- 4:11ago or two weeks prior to that announcement, he's very very hawkish, and
- 4:15here he comes in as the dove of all doves, and you know we've
- 4:19seen him do this before. He actually did it in December of twenty eighteen,
- 4:26and we call the Christmas reversal. I think it was on the twenty
- 4:30sixth of December. You know, we're going to lower the Fed funds rate
- 4:32back down to zero. We're gonna start a quantitative easy remember that, And
- 4:38the market just ramped up for two years. So you know, you just
- 4:42got to be aware of how the Fed operates. They jawbone a lot,
- 4:46and then when they can actually jaw bone, it seems like they really do
- 4:49take action, and that gives them another, you know, another market move
- 4:55in a direction of their favor. Yeah. I just find the whole thing
- 5:00kind of fascinating because look, historically, five percent interest rates, that's what
- 5:05we've had, right, that is the number, and you know, five
- 5:11percent mortgages whatever. And now the economy can't even sustain the historic normalized interest
- 5:19rates for very long. The economies can't. The economies of the World warre
- 5:24just falling to pieces. And I don't think it was something that Powell did
- 5:30lightly. I think it's something you had no choice but to do, because
- 5:34how many more banks could collapse before something had to happen here? Nick,
- 5:40Yeah, absolutely, And we've had an inverted Yolker for well over a year
- 5:43now between the two year note and the ten year note, So that's always
- 5:46been a great indicator of a recession throughout history. And you know, a
- 5:51lot of people are now looking for twenty twenty four to have well, let's
- 5:56see if we have a recession this year, so it's certainly a possibility.
- 6:00You know, the central banks they orchestrating rallies off of short squeezes since you
- 6:04know, early two thousand and nine. You can make a case from the
- 6:09low of two thousand and nine when the S and P five hundred traded at
- 6:13six six six on March sixth, that that was an orchestrated, no reversal,
- 6:18massive short squeeze. So you know, these guys know that this is
- 6:21the name of the game. It can't stop either. There is no other
- 6:25remedy. You either let the markets go down, then you squeeze them up,
- 6:29and you just keep playing this game as long as you can. But
- 6:30we've already crossed the rubicon carry with thirty four trillion dollars worth of debt.
- 6:34So you know, enjoy the rallies when you get them, I guess,
- 6:38and you know you go back to business that way. Yeah. Actually,
- 6:43the first time I remember them directly interceding in the markets was nineteen eighty seven.
- 6:47The crash of nineteen eighty seven happened on a Friday, and basically on
- 6:55Monday, all the markets had seized up except the Kansas City futures market,
- 7:01and the FED started massive buying on that market, and all of a sudden,
- 7:06everything opened up and jolted ahead, and we saw these huge advances.
- 7:13And from that point on, the market's never been allowed to actually engage in
- 7:18its cleansing action. Arguably, we had that recession during Obama and they let
- 7:25the market go down, but only to a certain point, and then they
- 7:29were back in there manipulating the hell out of it. That's right. And
- 7:32you know there's an old wivestyle out there that Ronald Reagan signed an executive order
- 7:38after the eighty seven crash and created a working team to never let the markets,
- 7:43you know, fall that much. Now, we don't know how true
- 7:46that is, if it's really something, but I believe they did do a
- 7:49working group, and they do have a working group out there. But you
- 7:54know, you don't even have to follow that so much. You just follow
- 7:57really what the FED is going to do, and you follow charts, and
- 7:59all the tr rules still work as good as they've ever worked. And this
- 8:03has been going on for years and years, and that's why I used them
- 8:07and I tell everybody just learn the charts. You know, if you're not
- 8:09going to always nail it to the day or pinpoint things perfectly, sometimes you
- 8:15do, but you know you'll have a good, good understanding of how the
- 8:20markets work and how they actually move, especially when you get all this rhetoric
- 8:26coming out of you know, central bankers almost on a daily basis. Hey,
- 8:30that was the birth of the good old PPT, the Plunge Protection Team.
- 8:35That's right. I haven't seen anybody make any mention of the PPT for
- 8:41years now because it's so normalized that, you know, I don't want to
- 8:46say it's transparent, but it's transparently obvious. That's right. It has.
- 8:52And that's like everything, Kerry. You know, when they implement something,
- 8:54if they implemented long enough, it just becomes normalized, like you just said,
- 8:58And that that's exactly where we are, where people don't even mention the
- 9:03PPT, the Pluet Protection Team any longer. All right, quickly, Energy
- 9:07and precious metals, where where is it? Where did we start the year
- 9:13at? Where is it now? Well? Prude oil, Actually we'll start
- 9:16with energy and oil. Prude oil actually tried to make a move and you
- 9:20know, oil got to around seventy five dollars a barrel. It just really
- 9:24can't get anything going. I actually own the USO at the dead low,
- 9:28so I'm still in the money there, but I have a breaking and stop
- 9:31on my second half position. It's been a tough trading. Like I said,
- 9:35k if we take out the lows that were made, you know,
- 9:39not that long ago in oil, we're going to see oil go down to
- 9:41fifty five dollars a barrel. So I know that's hard to believe with all
- 9:46the conflicts going on around in the world, but even today we had Saudi
- 9:52Arabia basically come out and say that they're going to lower oil prices around the
- 9:56globe. And just right before the holidays, we had an OPEC meeting where
- 10:01these same guys wanted to do production cuts. So they speak out of both
- 10:05sides of their mouth. They've actually learned from the Federal Reserve. They've learned
- 10:09the playbook from the master. They learn learn the faster as of double speak.
- 10:15They have, they really have, and they are good at it.
- 10:18So now all of a sudden, today the headline is that, you know,
- 10:20Saudi Arabia is gonna lower oil prices around the world. You just can't
- 10:26make this stuff up, you know, And this is why, you know,
- 10:28I always tell my traders, I said, hey, we already made
- 10:33money on this trade, and take app off the table and we just sit
- 10:35with the second half at breaking with a break even stop and play with the
- 10:39houses money. Because it just gets to be, you know, one day
- 10:43to the next, you just get so much rhetoric from these different groups.
- 10:46Okay, so oil, what's oil? We've got energy. That gas is
- 10:52still trading at the lows. Yeah, that gas had a good little run.
- 10:56It tried to make a run at three. Now it's back off again.
- 11:00It's been a lot of whipsawce. So that tells me probably somewhat of
- 11:03a manipulated market here for nack gas. But that's that's with everything. So
- 11:09you know, after you have a seventy eight month run up, you're going
- 11:11to get a pullback of some sort. I think that pullback has already occurred.
- 11:15I'm looking for a bottom in that gas. I pulled my nack gas
- 11:18trade off the table a while ago again with a break even stop and made
- 11:22a little profit there. But I'm looking to get back in it. I
- 11:26do think it's headed higher. I think it's still the energy that the world
- 11:31needs, but you know, supposedly these controllers don't believe it. So well,
- 11:37we'll see how it plays out. But the chart is going to be
- 11:39important for that gas. But today it's having to sell off, and you
- 11:41know, it's been very volatile, and that's the problem with it. You
- 11:45know, you have five percent moves almost on a daily basis. O good,
- 11:50so and then all right, so what about bitcoin and and gold and
- 11:58silver? All right, we'll go to bitcoin next because everybody's waiting for this
- 12:03approval of a spot bitcoin ETF. I think that's gonna help a little bit.
- 12:09I don't think. I think the move in bitcoin has probably been made
- 12:13for the most part, or it's factored into the cake already with the big
- 12:16run up that it's had into these spot bitcoin ETFs. If these things don't
- 12:20get approved, I mean bitcoin is going to sink like a ship. So
- 12:24that's that's where we are. You know, I don't know what's going to
- 12:28happen. Honestly, it's in the SEC's court. The court's kicked it back
- 12:31to the SEC. So we'll see what happens here as we go forward.
- 12:35But you know, it's very very important that they get that approval. If
- 12:37they don't get that approval, I mean, it could be you know,
- 12:41the end of bitcoin as we know it. That will be interesting to see.
- 12:46And yeah, today bitcoin crossed forty five thousand, and it looks like
- 12:52the market seems to think these ETFs are going to be a fade a complate.
- 12:58But we will see. You know, one thing I've learned is never
- 13:03count on the government or the courts to bail you out or to provide you
- 13:07with a windfall. If you get one anyway, that's okay, but don't
- 13:11think they're going to save you. Hey, so precious metals, We're still
- 13:18over two thousand in gold, but taking a little bit of a hit this
- 13:22week. Yeah, gold had a great run and it's been flirting with that
- 13:26breakout Kerry. You know, there's a big trend line going on a monthly
- 13:30chart of gold futures and we have not been able to close above there,
- 13:35and that's a real, real big problem at the moment. Now, eventually
- 13:39I believe it's going to close above there and go a lot lot higher.
- 13:43But in in their term, we're doing a lot of backing and fillings,
- 13:46so you still got to be careful with gold here. I love it longer
- 13:48term and the short run. You know, I'm just sitting and waiting to
- 13:52trade levels. I haven't done anything really in the space because it just hasn't
- 13:56given me a confirmation of a breakout, and it might trade a little bit
- 14:01lower in the near term. So I don't know what to do here.
- 14:03When I don't know, I don't do and I just sit back and wait.
- 14:07But you know, if gold goes into a real correction type move now,
- 14:11we could see a trade down to the mid to high sixteen hundergandle which
- 14:16I believe is a golden goose buying opportunity, and I would be all over
- 14:18at that stage of the game. No guarantees it's going to get down that
- 14:22far. But you know, again, it has not broken out, and
- 14:24I would not chase it right now. And of course silver has like not
- 14:30participated at all here. Yeah, silver is lagging gold right now. And
- 14:35we've seen, you know, last year or the year before, we've seen
- 14:39silver take leadership. This time around, it's legging. It is not keeping
- 14:43up with gold, So keep an eye on that. I love the silver
- 14:46formation though, what it's doing a lot of traders are looking at silver saying,
- 14:50ah, you know, it's not going to make a move, But
- 14:52I think silver has got to pull back in its cards here, and that's
- 14:56going to be a setup to get long and a level I I really like,
- 15:00and I'm going to give it to you guys here. I give it
- 15:01to my members over the weekend is nineteen dollars on silver futures. It might
- 15:05be a slight pierce, you know, maybe eighteen eighty, eighteen seventy five,
- 15:11but if you get silver down in nineteen, I will be loading the
- 15:13boat once more. And I already got a boatloaded the stuff Kerry, so
- 15:18I will be loading up once again around that level. And I think that's
- 15:22if you missed it at seventeen forty when I gave the call there in September
- 15:26of twenty twenty two, this is your chance to get into silver. You
- 15:33know. Nineteen bucks is the next load up phase. Okay, all right,
- 15:39sounds good. Now let's talk about twenty twenty four and beyond. You
- 15:45know, I always think about what I'm thinking about the future. I always
- 15:50think about what Eisenhower said when he was president, and he said something the
- 15:56effect of things are more like they are now than they've ever been before.
- 16:00Well, I'm gonna stick with that, saying myself, they really are.
- 16:03And and I know a lot of people are going into the new year thinking
- 16:07we're gonna have a crash, and you know, I'm not in that camp.
- 16:11I think the market will chop around. You have an election year this
- 16:15year, so you know you're gonna get some volatility just done on that basis
- 16:18I would expect. But overall, what I'm seeing for the year is that
- 16:22this market is just gonna be a chopping grind and if you don't, you're
- 16:27gonna have to watch chart patterns. You're gonna have to be a chartist.
- 16:30And again, if the central banks do come out and do rate cuts,
- 16:33that's always a positive and markets can go higher. So I'm not an uber
- 16:38bear this year at all. I think that the Fed is still driving the
- 16:42ship, and there Jay Powell is still in charge, sitting at the captain's
- 16:47seat right now. All right, so gold, you what are your feelings
- 16:52about gold for the year. Well, I really think that gold right now
- 16:56is a little bit of a tough trade. If we across that twenty one
- 17:00hundred, and we do it on a monthly closing basis, goals off to
- 17:03the races. If we stay underneath that twenty one hundred, we could go
- 17:07back as low as sixteen seventy five, sixteen eighty, and that would be
- 17:12the level to get in, and I mean get in for the long haul.
- 17:17Get in and don't look to get out for years to come. That's
- 17:19my take on it, because when gold does break out, we're going to
- 17:22see it probably go twenty eight twenty nine hundred, that's what the symmetry of
- 17:26the pattern shows. That's where we would go, maybe even test three thousand.
- 17:30I'm not in the camp that I hear so many people say, goals
- 17:33going to ten twenty thirty thousand. I don't see that, but you know
- 17:37it moved to three thousand. Move to twenty eight hundred. Twenty nine hundred
- 17:41certainly is possible. But you got to cross that twenty one hundred level on
- 17:45a monthly closing basis. You do that, that's where we're headed and we'll
- 17:48probably get there pretty quickly. Good. So as far as stocks go,
- 17:55so, like you said, it's going to be a grind. Any sectors
- 17:59you see that are probably better than others. Yeah. So right now you've
- 18:06had a big, big tech run techniques to correct itself, so you kind
- 18:10of stay away from that for the first half of the year. There will
- 18:12be tech stocks, maybe some certain names that will do better than others in
- 18:18the near term, but for the whole you stay away from tech at least
- 18:22until you know, late April or even even into June perhaps, and then
- 18:27you start to look at tech. Tech could be a second half runner,
- 18:32but the first half, Tech's got to work off that ridiculous gain that it
- 18:36had last year. I mean, the Nasdaq was up forty four percent,
- 18:38so you got to work that off. You don't look at technologies, you
- 18:41know, you look at now. You look at companies that were beaten down
- 18:45last year, believe it or not. I like Bristol Myers right that stock
- 18:49was eighty closed down that round fifty dollars last year. That's something I'm in
- 18:53call options with. I'm looking to be a buyer of it. You look
- 18:57at other stocks, even Walgreens, which I don't like the company at all.
- 19:02They just cut their dividend. Stock looks horrible, but it's a dog
- 19:04of the Dow. So you look at something like that. I also like
- 19:08a lot of the proctors and Kimberley Clarks. I think those could firm up.
- 19:12They're not there right now, but that's a group or an area.
- 19:15The consumer goods names that I would look at as well. They need to
- 19:19play some ketchup and then you could look at small caps after a pullback of
- 19:23some sort, but they add too big of a run into the end of
- 19:26the year, so I would stay away from them until they give us a
- 19:30really good level and they you know, we could see like a forty thirty
- 19:33to fifty percent retrace before that occurs, So you know, you look for
- 19:37patterns set ups now. But I would void tech for the first half of
- 19:41the year for the most part. Hey, Walgreens going back to that at
- 19:45a high yield, it hasn't been doing well and then they cut it,
- 19:51which I guess was widely anticipated. Now it's down to a four percent yield,
- 19:56and I guess the stocks kind of finding its way. Huh. Yeah,
- 20:02it's trying to find a bottom. I don't like the company at all.
- 20:04I think it's it's horribly run. I think chart has been bearish for
- 20:08years and years. But you know, you got a dog of a Dow
- 20:11theory there, right, Dogs in a Dow usually play out. At least
- 20:15they're you know, something that could could catch up and do a little bit
- 20:18better. And you know, just like the Intel was last year, right,
- 20:22Intel was a dog of the Dow last year. Intel had a really
- 20:25good run in recently, so you know again in twenty twenty three. So
- 20:30you look for things like that the first the first half of the first few
- 20:34months of this year. You know, I wouldn't be putting money to work
- 20:37in these five flying tech names. I think that should be avoid at all
- 20:41costs. And again, you know, sometimes they defy gravity and they go
- 20:45higher than anybody expects, but I would never chase them up here after the
- 20:49run that we've seen like last year. Oh good, So all right,
- 20:56so we talked about housing, But what do you see about housing for the
- 21:00I mean, you're because we do have this shortage of housing all right now.
- 21:04Obviously, all you need to cure a shortage of housing is a lot
- 21:07of people looking to sell, and more people looking to sell than to buy.
- 21:12But this looks like it's almost a systemic issue here. Well, we
- 21:18got to remember, Kerry, we had a lot of big, big firms
- 21:22out there, whether it was subsidiaries of Blackstone or black Rock. They've all
- 21:27bought, you know, houses. I can't tell you how many people I
- 21:30know that sold their home and are renting from the same people that they sold
- 21:36the house to. It's incredible phenomenon. We've never seen this in our lifetime.
- 21:41So you know, that has taken a lot of supply off the market,
- 21:45and when you don't have supply, prices stay. I so I'm not
- 21:48looking for any dramatic drop in housing unless interest rate and really go through the
- 21:52roof, and interest rates went from basically nothing to five percent and the mortgage
- 21:59rates went up to eight percent on moston a housing price is still held up.
- 22:03So you know, right now it's all about supplying demand and there's very
- 22:07very little supply out there. So you know, I think housing can pull
- 22:10in a little bit, but I don't see it going down significantly, all
- 22:15right, So so housing is more of the same, like we kind of
- 22:19said there, yep is, and I think that's how it's going to be
- 22:23this year. You'll get some pullbacks like always in the housing stocks, but
- 22:27you know, keeping one companies like Lenard that's really probably the tell of what
- 22:33housing does overall. I think that's the most important. That's like the JP
- 22:37Morgan of the housing stocks. So watch that one. Stocks still holding up
- 22:41really well right now? Yeah, yeah, which is like exactly what you
- 22:45wouldn't think. But hey, I guess it all goes back to the Powell
- 22:48pivot. So originally Powell said three interest rate cuts, the market turned that
- 22:55into six. How many cuts do you think we're gonna get for the coming
- 22:59year? Will we get? I think if we do get cuts, it'll
- 23:03just be two. I don't even think we're going to get three because you
- 23:07have wars going on. Wars are inflationary, so how you know? Everythinks
- 23:11the Fed is really stupid because they play dumb. But these guys are not
- 23:15stupid. They're they're very smart. They have a big team over there,
- 23:19NBA's PhDs, mathematicians, statisticians. I've said this a million times. They're
- 23:26not stupid. They know that interest rates are not going down that much,
- 23:30even though regardless of what they do, there's a four under the ten year
- 23:33Treasury note yield, so you know where that could it go? Three seven,
- 23:37three point five percent? That's it. It's not going down any lower
- 23:41than that. And if you get any invasion of Taiwan, China going into
- 23:45Taiwan or something along those lines. Now you've got supply chain disruptions. That's
- 23:49as inflation area as it gets, so they have to be aware of this.
- 23:55I just don't really see how they're gonna cut rates. I'm they give
- 24:00them two rate cuts because they said they're gonna do three, and the market's
- 24:03looking for more. But the market's always greedy, right, The market's always
- 24:07looking for way more than what they they are going to get. Right.
- 24:11The market's always like it's like a dog begging for a treat, you know,
- 24:15So you have to think of it like that, right when you walk
- 24:17in a dog, a dog always looking for a treat. They'll stop and
- 24:19give you the paw and all of that stuff. You might even roll around.
- 24:22Well, that's what the market is. The market's like a dog looking
- 24:26for a treat. They're always looking for free money. So I just don't
- 24:29see how it's going to happen. If China does go into Taiwan. Hey
- 24:33the ballgame changes and everybody better be aware of that. Yeah, I personally
- 24:37don't think it's going to happen because the CCP is in real trouble right now.
- 24:45Crisis of leadership ZE looks like he's you know, not long for the
- 24:51party. If he does manage to hold on, the problem is, in
- 24:56order for them to invade Taiwan, he's got to a point somebody the head
- 25:00of the military, all the all the branches in China. That person then
- 25:07becomes the most powerful person in China, and that could well be what's held
- 25:12it back. Plus, it is a question about can they really win,
- 25:17right, Well, I think they could win. I think that that would
- 25:21be a problem, the same way I think Russia could win Ukraine. I
- 25:23don't think that's a problem either. The problem is, right, at what
- 25:29cost does it come? And that's that's what they they're up against. But
- 25:33basically we get news reports saying that President she has already told President Biden that
- 25:37at some point he is going into Taiwan this year, So, you know,
- 25:41is that just more rhetoric. Will they do it? You know,
- 25:45it remains to be seen. I don't know that stuff. I don't know
- 25:47if they will or they won't. But what I will say, if they
- 25:49do, watch for inflation. There's no way to counter to that. Yeah.
- 25:56Yeah, well, probably a huge mistake to go in there, But
- 26:02leaders have done things when they're desperate before and that have surprised the world.
- 26:07So hey, it's just the tofu dreg world economy here at work. That's
- 26:14all we're gonna call it. All right, what about wars? More wars
- 26:18on the way more? Because we're talking about wars. What's happening with the
- 26:23wars that are going on now? And what can we look forward to?
- 26:29Yeah, more wars are on the way for the next six, seven,
- 26:32eight years. Who knows. It's the war cycles are all in place now.
- 26:37I mean they all have kicked into gear, you know, so you're
- 26:41going to see conflicts continue twenty twenty four. You know, hopefully we can
- 26:45avoid some of it, maybe even going to wind down in Russia and Ukraine,
- 26:49that's a possibility, but others are going to flare up. It's not
- 26:52going to end. You could even start to see you know, with the
- 26:56election, you could even start to see a minor civil a civil war here
- 27:02in the US. I mean, you know, all of these things are
- 27:04in play right now. I would I'd be very very much aware of war
- 27:10sticking around for the next several years. All right. So, yeah,
- 27:14you even had Venezuela said they were going to go into Guyana and take their
- 27:18oil fields. Right, yeah, that's right, that's right. And then
- 27:22you know, watch another you know, people aren't realized, but India has
- 27:25been the hottest economy in the world. If they have wounds with Pakistan,
- 27:29that's a problem as well, so keep an eye on that as well.
- 27:33I mean, but you yeah, the perfect example Venezuela. You know,
- 27:37who would have expected that? Nobody expected either that? Right, that's crazy,
- 27:41right it is. And we're in a crazy time, Carrie. This
- 27:45is an upside down world and all of these things are not going away anytime
- 27:51soon. So true, so so true. So we got like interesting times
- 27:56ahead, that's for sure, right, without a doubt. And it's the
- 28:00chaos is going to continue we are, you know, and we haven't even
- 28:06spoken about the election yet. That's that could be chaos as well. Yeah,
- 28:10well it seems like it's getting off out of good foot there. Huh
- 28:12oh yeah, oh yeah, we're we're we're we are looking at you know,
- 28:19I like to call it the actors, right, we're looking at all.
- 28:22I think all these politicians are actors. In fact, I think they
- 28:25all have Actors Guild cards. So uh, you know, we'll we'll see
- 28:29how what kind of show they put on for us. Yeah, well it's
- 28:33it's definitely going to be interesting, isn't it. It's gonna be more than
- 28:37interesting. This is this is one for the ages. Nothing's going to change,
- 28:42doesn't matter who gets really gets in. They're all kind of the same,
- 28:45right, But you know the show is just going to be, you
- 28:51know, outstanding. It will out do the Hamilton U and everybody liked the
