Investor's Edge with Gary Cultbaum.
Straight talk about you and your money.
Now from the BizTalk Studios, here is Gary Cultbaum.
And welcome once again to Investors Edge.
I'm Gary Coltbaum, your host day.
Thanks of being with us today.
Glad you here, ladies and gentlemen, happy that you are listening.
It is July 31st.
The end of July is here.
Two thousand and 23.
Hope you're having a good day.
Hope you had a good weekend, ladies and gentlemen.
Lots to cover, lots to discuss.
And I must tell you, we have these little mantras of markets.
One of them is, in bare phases, surprises happen to the downside.
In both phases, surprises.
Happened to the upside.
We'll explain the close of today's market in a couple of minutes.
But first, if you do not get this radio show in your city, we'll post it at garyk.com.
We'll also post it on our Twitter feed, which is now the X feed.
Whatever.
You can email us, just be nice.
Oh, by the way, to follow us on Twitter or X, go there, put our name in.
Or press the button at gary k.com.
By the way, we have quite a few.
Don't ask me why.
We're not that famous.
A bunch of people imitating us on Twitter.
Be careful.
My Twitter feed is at G-A-R-Y-K-A-L-T-B-A-U-M with two capitalizes,
the G and the K.
That's it.
I don't know if it's the same person doing it with a few of them or a few different people,
but that is really weird.
What can I tell you?
The weekend.
So Friday, I flew out to my parents
and my flight was canceled.
As decided to stay at the Orlando airport, Marriott,
as I got out of the shuttle van, boom,
I had a back spasm, a real good one.
I had one when I was in New York,
and I had one on the airplane.
coming back yesterday and that was really no fun. The good news is 90 some odd percent of my time,
I do not have back spasms, but I've got so much feedback from you guys with like 2,300 emails now
from your history of back issues. And I just went to see the great doctor surgeon again.
and he really explained it much, much better this time what I got going.
And it seems like it's from my old tennis touring injury and an imbalance
and eventually it'll be better.
And I'm doing everything right, everything possible and all that fun stuff.
Okay, before we get into the markets, as you know, this is a show about you and everything
that affects you.
We mix the markets, the economy with the Morlocks, the politicians, the corrupt Morlocks slash politicians.
And you can go look up the word Morlocks.
The big news today, and you probably won't hear anything about it if you watch national TV.
You probably will not.
But we'll give you the idea because we told you up.
front, we don't need, you know, to us, anybody to tell us anything. There's no doubt 1,000%
in our mind. The president is corrupt with his son and he was a part of all it and the millions
moving around. And now it turns out that the best friend of the son got on Capitol Hill
today and just dropped dime on Joe Biden saying he was part of 20 different phone calls.
And now the administration's admitting, well, maybe he was, but they talked about the weather and stuff.
So it went from, I knew nothing, didn't speak to anybody, had no idea about anything.
China was never involved to.
Oops, oops, ups and ups.
Let me be clear, ladies and gentlemen, he's corrupt as corrupt as can be.
They collected millions of dollars to nefarious ways.
There's a, the amazing part about the media is that the media,
The New York Times didn't even
we're reporting it, and that's a shame
because they hurt their
good journalists there.
There's a text
of just an absolute
shakedown of a
Chinese diplomat
or whatever to do this, that, and the other thing,
that the father's there, that's Joe Biden,
but we're being,
you know what the job of the media
is, right? To hold the
powerful accountable, like they're doing to
Donald Trump 24-7
and rightfully so
they don't even investigate
that's the sickness
but we'll do it for you
I'd say it to his face
the president is an influence peddling
corrupt should be impeached
and you know I say that very seriously
I thought Donald Trump's
the second one was good the first one wasn't
this will never be
found out because the media don't care and the justice department's in the tank.
And these are people that are deciding on our future. Just letting you know.
These are the people, these Marxists control freak money grubbing. Just remember Marxists and
socialists. They're only Marxists and socialists with our money in life. They're quite the corrupt
capitalists with their money in their life. And we're singing in droves and just let you know you
probably won't read it in the mainstream.
I didn't even, the Today Show didn't even carry it this morning.
The first thing was Trump, because Trump's about to get indicted again and again and again.
So, anyway, our mantra stands, they all suck.
In the end, we're screwed.
We're going to trillions of dollars of interest.
We're going to 50 trillion of debt.
Just remember, this is money they would never supposed to spend, brought to you by both parties.
and when it all blows up, we'll be ready. Remember, when it blows up, the market will let us know.
Do not forget that. While Wall Street will say, don't worry, everything's okay, the market will let us know.
But I will tell you this flat out today, the market did not let us know. The market still remains in shape.
And as we said to you, in bullish phases, surprises happen to the upside. Just so you know, today, pretty much.
the high of the day in the Dow, the high of the day in the Dow, was it around, I got to get my bearings right.
Let me put it best. With nine minutes to go today, the Dow would hit 35430. It was down 29 points with nine minutes to go. I take that back. Six minutes to go.
Dow finished up 100.
Seriously.
The NASDAQ, with that same amount of time to go,
14297, was down 18, finished up 30.
And the last one-minute bar was gargantuan.
The NASDAQ on the last one minute was up 16 points.
The Dow in the last one minute and change?
No, no, oh, there it is.
It was up about 40 points.
Surprises happened to the upside.
I was looking to see that was there any news at the close today?
Did somebody report something that shouldn't have been reported?
You know, this, that, and the other thing, I don't see anything.
So just letting you know at the close of the day, very good close of the day for whatever reason.
Remember, we got bazillion earnings reports to come out.
There's a lot after the close.
I got to look it over.
But another good close.
Were there some warts today?
Yeah, a couple.
But when all was said and done, that's what happened at the close today.
And just remember, what we deal with here is just characteristics.
We're looking for characteristics of bull and bear markets.
That's all we're looking for.
And one of the characteristics are closes are good.
Surprises happen to the upside.
bad news doesn't go down and is actually up in good news soars and in some cases bad news stock skyrocket
as we've reported to there's been some earnings reports that have been a horror show an absolute
horror show but they beat estimates lamb research four quarters of major deceleration in earnings
gaps up on a 30% drop in sales and a 30% drop in earnings
Old Dominion, a trucker, 20% drop in earnings.
Worst quarter.
Guess what?
Market didn't care.
Thus, the mantras.
Up next.
More in these markets, news of the day, movers of the day, whatever else.

Hello, hello. I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.
I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Ambatta.
We discussed his vision for the future of quantum computing.
At IBM research, what we always do is answer what is the future of computing,
whether it's coming up with new algorithms, coming up with better AI,
coming up with quantum, or coming up with just how do different accelerators go together.
It's our DNA to answer the question of what is the future.
Isn't it a perfect problem for IBM because you kind of need to have a legacy of building stuff?
Yes.
building actual physical machines.
Yeah, it's why I came to IBM.
I wanted the experience, the culture of building hard things that others have not done before.
Where do you imagine we are in the timeline of this technology?
There will come a point when it will mature.
Right?
My cell phone is a mature technology at this point.
How far are we from that point with Conton?
By 2020.
will build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer.
That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem.

It's time to switch on the integrator units and get the brain cells working.
You're listening to.
Hey, this promises to be fun.
Investors Edge.
The last bastion.
of quality programming with Gary
Coltbaum it doesn't get better than this
just remember
bull and bear markets
are a completely different
entity and most
people do not recognize this
when I try to explain it
the best example
I think I did this on Friday but I have to do it
again so you understand
how this works
and I mean this when I say this
Roku.
I use Roku at home.
Terrific.
The stock has been absolutely slaughtered from the high in 2021.
Slaughtered.
Absolutely slaughtered.
Why?
Because in bare markets, anything that loses money
get slaughtered. It's one of our main rules of bare markets. And we've been telling you this for ages,
and it played out perfectly again during the bare market. One of the other rules is past leaders
we'll drop on average 70%.
Nobody ever believes us when we say that.
And we didn't come up with that.
Studies were done that.
And we did the studies of the studies.
But the main rule is, you better not lose money going into a bare market.
And if God forbid you're one of those bubbles and companies that have no sales, forget about it.
Well, we're not in a bare market anymore.
We're in an uptrend.
We're in a bullish phase of unknown price and time.
Roku just announced earnings.
They didn't do anything different.
They announced another 76 cent loss.
Oh, but it was better than expected.
The stock has gone from 68 to 96 in two days.
On a gap, of course.
Oh, they're going to get some more advertising.
Yeah, but you still lost 76 cents a share.
That's a lot of cake.
There's your difference.
Just mentioning one stock.
If next week a bare market starts, and I can tell you it's not.
Why?
Because markets have to go through a topping out process before you enter bare markets.
It takes time.
But let's just assume a,
bear market starts in a couple of weeks.
They'll crush Roku.
And a bunch of, just so you know,
there's been a bunch of other companies
that were absolutely destroyed
in the bear because they lose money.
Here's one.
Plug power.
75 down to 8.
They've rallied up to 13.
All they do is lose a crap load of money.
but it's rallying up.
Why?
You're in a different type of market.
And it is going to be crucial.
It is going to be imperative to be listening to us the next bare market when it hits.
It's going to make the last one look like a walk in the park.
How do I know this?
Well, it's pretty simple.
we can actually measure a value.
You know, you pull out a dollar, it's worth a dollar, right?
That's the easy part.
But with companies and with Wall Street, you can mention values.
Oh, at the peak, it traded at this time's amount of earnings per share.
On average, this is what earnings per share is.
and I will tell you
this one
this rally started
we're up in the trees still
and valuation right now
is higher than it was
not for the beta
not for the high growth
but on the market
it's already
higher than it was at the top
in 21 which
takes me to my second point
it can be
relieved
earnings is going to have to really come on strong.
Earnings are going to have to really come on strong.
And they could.
We're all for it.
But all I can tell you is so far the guidance I have seen on earnings reports
have not been that good.
And if earnings do not re-accelerate in a meaningful fashion,
it is going to leave some sizable valuations.
in some things and that's based on the norm another little example I'm looking at Western
Digital just a little distrive company they reported earnings dollar 98 loss
stocks down a buck in the aftermarket they see revenues light they see losses bigger than
expected for this coming quarter do you know what that stock would have done if we were
still in the bare phase.
Crushed.
Crushed.
It's down a dollar.
By the way, they see revenues 2.55 billion to 2.75 billion for the
coming quarter.
That's versus last year's 3.7.
That's how bad the numbers are.
It's only down a buck.
Bullish phase.
it better stay a bullish phase.
I can tell you we're already making a pretty sizable list of terrible earnings reports.
Why?
Oh, all hell is going to break loose for those companies if things don't improve.
If we're wide open for things to improve.
But so far I have not seen forward guidance in any way, shape, or form be good enough.
So just some tidbits.
A few other things I just want to mention, then we'll get into market wrap.
The gold miners back above the 50-day moving average.
You have to go in below it for a day or two.
So your gold bug should be happy right now.
Certainly not an up trend, but definitely maybe some defense here.
Oil, another good day.
Commodities another good day.
Not so good at the pump, but for the stocks, yeah.
Up next.
Full market wrap.
much more. This is the one to only investors at.

This message is brought to you by Colagard.
If you ever printed out directions and hoped you didn't miss a turn,
It may be time for you to screen for colon cancer.
Luckily, things are a lot easier these days, even screening for colon cancer.
When caught early, colon cancer is treatable in nine out of ten people.
With more options than ever, it's key to start screening at 45 if you are at average risk.
The Kologard test is non-invasive, requires no special prep or time off, and it ships right to your door,
so you can use it in the privacy of your own home.
With just three simple steps, setup, sample, and ship, completing your KolaGard test is easier
than finding the right track on your mixtape.
If you're 45 or older and at average risk, ask your doctor about the Colagard test available by prescription only.
Learn more or request a prescription at colagard.com slash podcast.
Do not use the Colagard products if you have had adenomas, which are a type of colon polyp
that can sometimes become cancer, inflammatory bowel disease or other hereditary syndromes,
a personal or first-degree family history of colorectal cancer, or a positive result from another
colon cancer screening method within that test's recommended screening interval.
Colagard results should be interpreted with caution.
A positive test result does not confirm the presence of cancer.
Patients with a positive test result should be referred for a colonoscopy.
A negative test result does not confirm the absence of cancer.
Patients with a negative test result should discuss with their doctor when they need to be tested again.
False positives and false negative results can occur.

We're listening to America is talking.
Investors Edge.
He's got to be pleased with that.
The crowd is just on his feet here.
He's a Cinderella boy.
With Gary Colbomb.
It comes highly recommended.
You're going to feel better if you talk to him.
And well, once again to Investors Edge.
So it's a pretty good time to just keep pounding away at you to make you understand bull and bear markets.
I told you last week I was on a conversation with a financial planner, a friend of a friend, they wanted me to manage their money.
But once I knew a financial planner was involved, I knew it was going to be said and I respected it because the financial planner came out.
out and has seen me on Fox, knew me from Fox, but came out and said, you can't time the market.
And because I explained just so you know, I may buy something on Monday on selling on Tuesday.
You don't want somebody to do that for you, right?
Right.
And then she went out, came on and said, you can't time the market.
And I was very respectful.
I didn't get back and forth.
Yes, you can, that type of stuff.
but therein lies the point we always try to make with you.
Wall Street, 99.9% of it won't even try.
They're fully invested.
And it's not an indictment of them.
They tell you who they are.
And they have 100 and some odd years of history of going through bull and bear markets.
And we're near, I mean, the S&P what is?
How much from the highs?
but you had to go through 56% in 08, 50 to 80 in 2003, this last one.
And of course, then there's the other part of the equation about how they tell you to hold long term,
but they don't tell you city groups still down 90% from 08.
And I can go through a litany of names that are way, way, way, way down off the highs throughout the years.
They don't tell you that.
But isn't it interesting how in just a couple of minutes explaining to rules of bull and bare markets,
not by opinion, but by clear study of every bull and bare markets,
that in bare markets, companies that lose money, companies that have no sales,
biggest leaders will get crushed 70%.
That's part of the ability to measure markets.
and to stay out of the way.
Here's a name.
SoFi Technologies.
S-O-F-I was up a buck 90 today to $11.45.
A huge move.
They reported another loss.
In fact, I don't think they've ever made money.
Stock came out at 10.
Maybe it was a SPAC in 2020.
Hit 27, went down to 5.
Why to go from 27 to 5?
Characteristics of bare markets.
They lost money.
They're still losing money.
It's forgiven right now.
Characteristic of a bull phase.
Forgiving losses.
Which, again, gets me to the point in saying, just remember, if in two weeks,
and we don't think that's happening, we turn into a bear market again, these same things
that are soaring on losses will crash.
How do we know?
It's what bare markets do.
In spite of them telling us we cannot measure bare markets.
And you can't time them.
Well, yes, you can buy the study and focus on the characteristics of both.
That's all.
And I thought in an opportune time,
With the way the market closed today, the market was sinking at 353.
And poof.
I'm still looking for news, but you know what it was?
Somebody just went and bought, that's all.
Institutions just jumped on at the end of the day.
Which leads us to another characteristic of bullish phases.
Closes are usually strong.
Bare phases, closes are usually weak.
that's how it goes.
How do we know?
We've studied it.
Simple as that.
We have studied it.
And we continue to study and continue to hopefully stay on top of things.
Just like on Friday we said, you know, China starting to emerge.
It was only up another 1% today.
How did we come up with?
Well, we saw the picture.
And of course we use the next line do we trust China
And just so you know there's only bad news out of China right now in their economy
How can their market go up well?
The thought processes they're going to have to ease
And you know how markets love that
So just little bit of lessen time from your handsome and buffed host
That had three sets of spasms
I'll tell you the best news about back spasms though
They go away quick
that's the only good news
and I'm doing everything
all right
today's market wrap brought to you by
investment dash models.com
that's Jim Rohraback
one of the great market timers
no gray areas with the man you're either in or out of the market
was proprietary in the cages go check it out
investment
dash models
dot com
that was up 100
all of it and more in the last few minutes
S&P up 6
NASDAQ 29 NASDAQ 100 was down
only up 6
transports were down 78 today advanced declines weren't so bad they were actually pretty decent
uh Japan was strong China was strong oil prices up another stick and change today
oil stocks had a pretty decent day they were off the highs but decent day commodities another
good day that steel copper aluminum actually a couple of names at new yearly highs um
what else do I got for you some software names had a good deal
day after getting smacked on Thursday.
Netflix up 13 today.
I have to bring that up because that's one of those names that had a bad reaction to earnings.
And what did we tell you on Friday right at the 50-day moving average where these things better be defended?
Netflix are near crappy 3% earnings growth and 3% revenue growth.
But you can't time the market.
financials mixed but okay retail not bad you had some weakness in a few areas housing but you know nothing
whatever some medical biotech what else do i got for you that was on the week's side yeah just not a lot
and i've yet to scan i'll do that in a little bit 10 year yield flattish today just under 4% i get asked
often about the energy. I never want to say it's anything's going to last long. We just let you know
it's it's acting fine right now. A little bit on the persistent side. We get always the question also,
well, if oil prices keep going up, isn't that going to negatively impact? Yes, it shall.
And we told you two weeks ago that oil gas prices will be going up at the pump and that's exactly
what happened. That is not genius.
If price
oil is going up, gas prices are going up
eventually.
And it's sticky this second.
OPEC's happy.
Anything else stick out today?
Eh,
not really.
Just that.
Some really crappy
earnings reports and losses.
Market
doesn't care.
Not now.
Eventually it will.
Is that a week from now or a year from now?
Don't know.
We'll be ready if that hits.
But that's why we always talk quality here.
Lots more earnings reports this week.
Apple and Amazon Thursday.
But as we move forward,
Caterpillar in the morning tomorrow, for starters.
And the list really goes on and on and on.
many earnings reports there are. So stay tuned. AMD, Uber, Marriott, Norwegian cruise lines. I don't need to
go through all of them, but you get Starbucks, I keep them in business. DuPont, Lidau, Ferrari,
want to see how the high end's going, even though I think they're sold out forever. Up next,
we'll think of something. I'm Gary. This is the one only investor's edge.

You're listening to.
What are we waiting for?
Well, what are you waiting for?
One, two, ready, go.
Action!
In the Gester's Edge with Gary Culpa.
And as I've explained to you,
this is how we treat earnings weeks.
A bunch of reported out.
after the close. We'll have a good hour tonight going through them. More importantly, the reaction
and where the stock may or may not open tomorrow. Just remember, things can change overnight.
And then early morning tomorrow, there are more and more earnings reports. And guess what we do?
We're up early. We're going through them one by one by one. And then we're able to,
to see the pre-market. The stock closed at 108 and is 113 or a stock closed at 108 and it's 97.
And we're able to get a good feel and we can also then add it up. What does that mean?
Well, I mentioned to you, Western Digital's numbers sucked. They're terrible. Their guidance was
terrible. It's a weaker technology stock. In a bare market, this stock would be down 20% tomorrow.
It's down 80 cents, $41 stock, $42 stock. Another huge loss, another big drop in earnings.
Terrible guidance going forward. And what happens in bullish phases,
it creates impostors.
And what we mean by that is,
you know how they say lifts all boats?
Well, some of those boats are dinghies,
and they have little leaks in them.
But the leaks don't hurt.
You can stop them up because the market forgives
when you're in a bullish phase.
But once that bullish phase is gone,
and by the way, that'll be one of the key,
characteristics. One of the characteristics that tells you you're coming out of a bullish phase
into a bearish phase is the crap starts leaking badly. And when I do my scans, more and more
names are breaking down. And then when I go into those scans and see more and more names
breaking down, I notice, oh boy, it's the things that should be breaking down if we're getting
into a tougher market, but not today.
They're in there jumping all over Roku on another 76-cent loss.
But don't worry, everything's a-okay.
These are the lessons.
These are the explanations on why when somebody says, oh, you can't, we say we can.
And it's arduous.
The financial planners, they're going to put you in 10, 20 mutual
funds. They're not managing the money. Somebody else is, and that's all well and good. We're not
indicting them. We're not putting them down. We're trying to differentiate. That's all. That's all.
They better pick good funds because even in fun land, you got some great ones, you got some good
ones, and you got some terrible ones. Mui Importante. So a little bit again, less in time.
of what we do and that goes to our biggest mantra when wrong we're wrong fast and wrong small
and when right we try to hold them for dear life as far as they want to go which is the hardest part
because even in bullish phases they don't make it so easy it's a rare occasion
when they'll just ride up moving averages and every pullback is contained
and a continuation of higher highs and higher lows.
We live for that.
We know it ain't easy.
When we told you we had Visa,
the last one before COVID that we had for years that we sold,
we can tell you we live through some drawdowns on there,
but only because we were already up 100%,
and we can live with it and recognize that it was the market doing it,
not just the stock.
So another forgiving day
And another
I mean I got to tell you at 354
Market was down
And they just ramped the living crap out of it
For three minutes
And
Whether somebody pushed a button or not
Does not matter to us
Outcome is everything
We don't ask why
The first thing we did
We looked to see if there was any
yapping out of the Fed but did not see anything and now soon as we're done with the radio we start
scanning and we already know what things look like but we want to see if anything shows up and what are we
going to scan the biggest movers and the biggest movers on volume simple as that we already know
what things may be setting up what aren't and then we'll look for surprises or something new that
shows up. It's a process, but it's a process of no bias. Markets right all the time. Never argue with it or you'll get run over. And just know what market you're in. And again, to repeat, love and hate, Roku would be crashing now on that loss, not skyrocketing. But you're in one of those moments.
And if things change, we'll let you know.
When they change, we'll let you know.
But we're still now in the midst of gargantuan earning season,
and we're going to stay on top.
You have a great evening.
Drive carefully.
When you get home, do like we do.
It's quite simple.
Make sure you hug your family.
Make sure you hug your children.
They will feel better.
You will feel better.
I promise tomorrow, same time radio.
I'm on TV tomorrow.
I'm not sure what time.
Sorry.
Just check out Fox Business.
Have a great night, everybody.
Thanks for joining.
Take care.
Bye-bye.
