Starting point is 00:00:33 Investor's Edge with Gary Kaltbaum. Straight talk about you and your money. Now from the BizTalk Studios, here is Gary Kaltbaum. And welcome once again to Investors Edge. I'm Gary Kaltbaum, your host day. Thanks for being with us today. Glad you're here, ladies and gentlemen, happy that you are listening. It is April 3rd.
Starting point is 00:00:52 It's Wednesday. It's 2024. Hope you're having a good day. In case you don't know, this is serious talk on you and everything that affects you. whether it's the markets, the economy, your jobs, unemployment, taxes, deficits, spending, scams, shams, corruption, and there's a lot of it.
Starting point is 00:01:12 You name it, we cover it. And if you do not get this radio show in your city, we'll post it at garyk.com. We'll also post it our Twitter feed, which is now X. And if you don't follow us on X, go to X put our name in. And of course,
Starting point is 00:01:27 if you're going to email us just being nice. We'll also post everything on podcast apps. Ladies and gentlemen, when we post the show to GaryK.com, we put a title to each show. And we're just going to put one word title to the show today, and that is commodities. And we've been talking about how themes. And you never know how they're going to play out. You never know how fast, you never know how strong, you never know how persistent, you just look for themes. So we're going to talk commodities out of the box. Now we can sit here and say that's good or bad. Commodities go up. Hey, the cost goes up for the commodities. I don't know if you've seen the price, the stock price of Hershey's. It's crashed.
Starting point is 00:02:30 Why, the price of Coco has moonshot, Eiffel Tower. And now we're seeing it in other areas. And it's surprising even us that about four weeks ago, I'm going to get about the right time. The oils. It was around, we'll call it first week in March, We simply said to you about the last week in February 1st week in March with the oils. We said to you, we have been on the void for the oils for the better part of whatever amount of time we went through.
Starting point is 00:03:22 And it was a long period of time. And we said to you, they may be emerging. oil prices may be emerging. We said to you, and if they do emerge from here, this is how it's supposed to happen. In other words, it started to follow the roadmap going from bearish phase to potentially a bullish phase. And how do we know that? Again, the roadmap. You're trading below the 50-day market. You're trading below the 50-day moving average as the moving average is heading south and every time you rally up into the moving average you fail but then finally you get above it and instead of breaking back below it you stick and then
Starting point is 00:04:16 you start the stair steps up so we said to you at the beginning of march just letting you know they may be emerging it's not sitting here saying oh oils have bottomed oh oh Oh, it's bottomed. Oh, it's bottomed. It's the potential for it to bottom. Again, you have to follow a roadmap, and then we use the line, okay, we're going to let some cards come out of the deck. Oils. For lack of a better way of describing it, go draw a bowl. Just draw a bowl. That's what they've done. and on the right side of the bowl, instead of making it equal to the left side, just make it higher. Without really any stops. And normally, when you are emerging and you're getting going, what you'll do is you'll stair step up.
Starting point is 00:05:19 You could go up three steps, pull back one. Go up two steps, pull back one, not the oils. They have just been on what we call. persistent persistence so just letting you know remain in play oil prices were up moderately today but oil stocks had another good day the oil explorers broke above recent highs of september and october a bowl the x le did that a few days ago a bowl and even the weaker the oh iH services getting there If you look at the new yearly high list now, a bunch of oil names. Now, we got that.
Starting point is 00:06:14 If you're not in the oils, best advice, catch them on constructive pullbacks. Odds favor, we have a meaningful move going, but they are now stretched and extended to the upside from this move. Will they pull them back? Beats the hell out of me. Don't know. But just letting you know that thought process that they may be emerging. Next. Gold.
Starting point is 00:06:50 For months, if not longer, we were telling you how gold, multi-year trading range, that every time it would go to the highs, it would be turned back. On March 1st, we told you gold looked like it was ready to break out. It broke out the next day, the fourth, and has not turned back. The subsequent play was just five days ago, and we said the secondary buypoints are usually pretty darn strong. The GLD initially 1.95, the next one, around 204-205. In four days, almost 2.13 on the GLD were giving you the ETF.
Starting point is 00:07:47 And you had another strong day today. On top of that, the gold miners, which have just been underperforming for years, coming on. Now, a lot of them are two and three and four and five dollars. We're just letting you know they're coming on. And they broke above pretty good eight, nine month range in the last couple of days any pullbacks constructive wise gold we told you about copper COPX four days ago broke above 42 and a half it's only 44 40 not a big move but it's broke out to the upside and a few copper names FCX SCCO on the move
Starting point is 00:08:47 Silver. SLV. Yesterday, we told you about to break out today, up three and change percent, broke out one year. So silver, do I need to go further? I think you're catching my drift. It's a commodities market right now, and we'll tell you, as we always do, we have no idea how long it lasts. we have no idea how far it goes. We do not know if it stops tomorrow. Odds favor, it doesn't stop tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:09:31 Which has us then asking a question of, hmm, you got these people at the Fed telling us inflations in check, but the Commodity Research Bureau Index, the CRB Index of 19 commodities, is it a yearly high, I believe, right around it and kind of sort of multi-year oil going topside gold silver copper hmm hmm HM M M with apostrophes after it excuse me exclamation points remember nothing personal
Starting point is 00:10:19 they don't know what the hell they're doing at the central bank they're misfits they're adults. They only cause problems. The easiest call in history was inflation, and they missed the whole freaking thing, and just playing catch-up. And now we're being told everything's a-okay again. Look at us.
Starting point is 00:10:45 Huh. So we'll be watching. And you know what else? Airlines and cruise lines. What does that mean if oil prices? keep going up. Just some food. We already know what Hershey's is done
Starting point is 00:11:03 with the soaring cocoa prices. By the way, go just Google the words cocoa price chart. Amazing. Up next. We'll stay with this. And much more. I'm Gary.

Hi, I'm Dr. Jay Goodman, host of Beyond the Script, the podcast where I sit down with pharmacists to answer the health questions you didn't even know you could ask at the pharmacy counter. In this episode, we are diving into gut health with CVS pharmacist Victoria Motola,
Starting point is 00:12:53 who explains why so many of us live with stomach issues we should not accept as normal. A lot of what I see is just like chronic bloating, chronic stomach aches. Like I get a stomachache every time that I eat. And it just becomes like a lifestyle where, oh, yeah, you know, I just have a stomachache every day, or I'm constantly feeling like gassy. And all of those things are not something that generally, if you have a healthy gut, you should be living with. So that's when we deep dive. We deep dive into your medication. We deep dive into your OTC medication. And then at that point, we can probably identify something that we can change.
Starting point is 00:13:29 Hear the full conversation, plus some fascinating facts about how gut health affects so much more than just your stomach on Beyond the Script, a podcast from CVS Pharmacy and IHeart Radio.

Starting point is 00:14:32 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. edge. The last bastion of quality programming. With Gary Coltbaum. It doesn't get better than this. Yeah, CRB Index is
Starting point is 00:15:01 back near the highs of June of 22. And, oh yeah, it is getting towards the highs of 2011. And of course, the big spike in 2008 were not there yet. Just letting you know.
Starting point is 00:15:23 And in the CRB index, you got oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper, soybeans, wheat, coal, steel, iron ore, lumber. I'm just looking through the whole thing. And just try to add one plus one. Hmm. Hmm. If oil prices keep going up and the airlines aren't hedged, oh, that's going to eat into profits. If oil prices go up and the cruise lines aren't hedged, oh, that's going to eat into profits.
Starting point is 00:16:10 If you are a Uber driver, that's going to eat into your profits. So we'll keep that in mind. We'll keep it in our file manager and just letting you know, there's a move of foot. At this juncture, all constructive pullbacks look viable. define constructive gary a calm quiet if you're to chart it after a move up it should look like from um 10 to 11 p.m. down to 5 p.m. on a little watch little northwest to southeast that look and it's too early to tell
Starting point is 00:17:13 but another day today where dang a move afoot and where it stops I don't know when it stops I don't know we freely tell you when there is a move going on
Starting point is 00:17:32 we never know I know you can turn on the tube and somebody says my target for so-and-so at the end of the year is so and so. With all due respect, every one of that is bull crap. They don't know.
Starting point is 00:17:50 It's just yapping away. Why? Because things change. Earnings, sales, earnings reports, interest rates, clowns in the White House, clowns in the Senate in the House, elections, war. You don't know. our job is to just stick with the stick and close our eyes, hold our nose, and pray. Now tell you about today, without even given the indices, as of yet, we mentioned commodities.
Starting point is 00:18:35 Not a bad day for the recently nascent pullback in growth arena, tech arena, not all, but some. And when we say to you, hey, just let you know, this, that, and the other thing held some important support levels. What it means is, imagine if a stock for six months could not break above $100. Every time it hit 100 could not get through. And then it rallies to 110. And then the market weakens and pulls back, but holds that 100. support level or a stock's rising the 50 day moving average going along with it and the stock pulls back and goes right to the 50 day moving average almost to the penny and rallies off of it support levels or the other one which makes it stronger the 21 day move in average some people use the 20 doesn't matter actually i like the 21 don't ask me why it's just the way you're it is. So we saw some of that today. And we also, and we really haven't seen it recently,
Starting point is 00:20:03 some oomph. Got some oomph today. Dell, Micron, got some umph. Volume. Some umph. Got some umph. I must tell you, one of the groups I have not been in is the building slash construction group on names you've probably never heard of because some I haven't heard of. They pulled back and they got going again today. And I'm pretty darn sure that has everything to do with the gargantuan, unimaginable amounts of government money being spent in that construction area, just putting us into monstrous debt, brought to you by the Marxist at the White House. Oh, Gary, but he's helping with infrastructure.
Starting point is 00:20:57 Yeah, sure. Right. Anyway, so you had that also today. Not everything, but some good stuff. Let me repeat. Not everything, but some good stuff. And we're going to enter earnings in the next couple of weeks. I think late next week we'll get a few big financials, which have acted pretty darn well.
Starting point is 00:21:30 The big banks, not the regionals. Regional's still weak, though some are better than the others. But let me repeat, some decent support levels held today. We're also continuing to get everything AI. More AI. More AI. Google, after the close announces or put it out there that they're considering charging for AI search. So the stock's up 1% in the market.
Starting point is 00:22:05 the aftermarket. Yeah, great, okay. AI search. Okay, do. I'm not going to say it's overdone, but we'll see. So we start you out commodities. Some decent holds. Facebook, real good hold at 480. Hasn't broken out, range bound, but a good hold at support. Dell off the 21 day and really popped on volume today. There's talk of AI there. Broadcom may be setting up again. Needs to tighten up. Netflix does a little dance back up today. Again, not everything, but some.
Starting point is 00:22:53 And you don't need many. Qualcomm, off the 21-day moving average, AI. Spotify announces they're going to raise prices. Stock goes up 7% today. Nothing like raising prices. So good stuff. Not everything, but good stuff. Up next, we'll give the final numbers, news of the day, whatever else today.

Starting point is 00:27:25 Caterpillar somewhat commodity-based mining equipment and things like that. So scanning will be a lot more fun tonight. It's been kind of sort of on the boring side as of recent. What else? Marijuana, Florida, Florida. My state. My state is now. allowing marijuana vote on the ballot.
Starting point is 00:28:13 So we had some nice moves in Marijuana. You know, as we said, tobacco bad, but smoke the evil weed. And as I've said to, you walk through Manhattan right now, I call it the big bong hit. Any time of the day or night, morning, you walk any street. it is Stankowitz and there's got to be a bull market in Doritos and Taco Bell in Manhattan right now because man oh man I don't understand it the legalization well it's the taxes got to get the money in case you don't know Manhattan New York City screwed up the whole legalization there or the trying to because they're in an insincentia. insane asylum in Manhattan.
Starting point is 00:29:14 They don't know what the hell they're doing. And as we say to you, they're lucky. The politicians in Manhattan, the politicians in Oakland, California, Sanfran, they're lucky. They're lucky anybody stays. The disrespect is beyond the beyond. By the way, Oakland, have you read about Oakland? it's stunning you're right about
Starting point is 00:29:44 Portland they're undoing their stupidity on hey you want to shoot up some heroin on the street go ahead they're undoing it oh you want to just
Starting point is 00:30:00 snort the stuff on the street go ahead but New York City they've got this assembly guy who the speaker of the assembly will not let them change the bail laws. He says putting people in jail that commit crimes, that doesn't help. What happened to penalizing crimes? I hate using the word, but I must. I have never seen more schmucks in my life running certain cities, counties, and states and country like we've never
Starting point is 00:30:40 seen. There's a teacher at a lefty school, a gay teacher that says it is homophobic. It's homophobic if you say Hamas is mean to gays in Gaza. Go look at the video. This is a teacher. and I believe she's like a commissioner too. There are not enough rubber rooms and straight jackets for some of these people. You say, what does that have to do with the markets and my money? Well, all these people are part of the $35 trillion of debt, going to $50, our first trillion plus going towards interest. And I can go on and on.
Starting point is 00:31:33 I don't know if we need to do those numbers today. we've been going over that big time recently. So just letting you know, I started out by talking the weed. It just has to do with the fact of it's, I don't know where we're going, kids. I have no idea where we're going. Simple as that. What else? I mentioned the Caterpillar.
Starting point is 00:32:01 I did the commodities. I talked about better action in some of these names. Dell computer, Micron. Mike Ryan looks like the strongest semiconductor right now. Just letting you know, very extended right here. Netflix got a little juice today, even though I got to get them on the phone because they're charging me too much. Just better tone, and we haven't seen that as of late.
Starting point is 00:32:25 Yields were up markedly early, then finished down. Mr. Bubble spoke today, said absolutely nothing, but he still can move markets here and there for a little bit of time. and let me repeat, they don't know what they're doing, they're not in control, they're not the economy, they don't affect squat, only when they print money do they affect things, it will not matter if they low rates a quarter, low rates a half, we are the economy, we're just their marks. And that goes for the Treasury Secretary. Oh my goodness gracious, the Treasury Secretary, what a Marxist control freak adult. just another. And the major indices just continue to drift
Starting point is 00:33:16 along the all-important moving average, my green line on my chart. Whether it's the SPY, well, the QQQ's flatlining a little bit here. That Apple and Tesla not helping that at this juncture. and Apple continues with some issues.
Starting point is 00:33:47 iPhone in China, shipments in the country fell 33% in February after falling 39% in January, the iPhone. And remember what we said. I measure Apple based on whether I need to change my phone to the next phone. I used to get the new phone every time, I haven't done it on three phones.
Starting point is 00:34:13 And I think a lot of people starting to think my way because they're not real. What else are they going to add to the phones? And they already had to pay a big amount of money on batteries. So just letting you know Apple remains relatively weak. It's under 170 now. It's only down about 15% from the highs, but versus not very good.
Starting point is 00:34:44 And Tesla. deliveries way under expectation. I think Tesla's hoping for the next generation of electric vehicles. I saw Pete Buttigieg on TV talking about EVs and blah blah blah blah blah blah. My message to Mayor Pete or Secretary Pete now, leave us to hell alone and stop force and crap down our throats. they actually think they can control this and they're not going to be able to
Starting point is 00:35:19 just letting you know EV is one of the worst acting groups if not the worst acting group in the market and then don't ask me what happened Ulta Salon down 80 bucks today they updated numbers which means something called elf
Starting point is 00:35:39 beauty down 12% today because It's a brand and maybe they're at Alta and beats the hell out of me. So a little bit of trouble there. Dang. I've never been in an Alta salon. Anybody ever been in there? Any good?
Starting point is 00:35:57 What is it? It's hair cosmetics. Do they do massages there? I don't even know. Not a good day. Up next. This, that, and the other thing. Or whatever else.

Starting point is 00:38:51 And welcome once again to Investor's Edge. Hey, in the news. And ladies and gentlemen, we do this news that has everything to do. It may not be, oh, that's not stock market, but it has everything to do with what's going on there and where we're going. Los Angeles luxury house sales have plummeted 70% in the first year since its mansion tax was
Starting point is 00:39:23 brought in. A mansion tax was launched April of 2023. A 4% tax on all homes, $5 million in Remember, what these Marxists control freaks do, they attack the wealthy because they try to make you believe if you are poor and middle class and not where you want to be, it's because the wealthy are screwing you. That's the con. And what they do is, well, look what we're going to do to the wealthy. So they put on a 4% tax on homes. in LA over 5 million bucks. Don't worry, we're only going after the rich. Those house sales have dropped 68%.
Starting point is 00:40:21 And they said they had a stated goal of how much it would raise because of this tax. They have raised 22% of the stated goal. You got that? Only 166 homes in the year was sold above that price. The year before 366. everybody in the industry said it was a stupid sham and what people are doing are buying outside those city limits now we don't make this up and when you sell another five and a half percent they're insane and by the way we worry because this is proliferating it's not just l a lay they want a wealth tax if you exit you're still going to pay? These people have not
Starting point is 00:41:38 I don't know how they're getting away with some of their crap. Speaking of crap, do you know what we're finding out now? Joe Biden is sending migrants across the country without telling the governors or the mayors
Starting point is 00:42:00 of the states and the cities to U.S. airports in the dark of night and not telling anybody who runs these cities and states, whether these people are good or bad. 326,000 migrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela arrived in Florida since January of 23.
Starting point is 00:42:34 And DeSanta says, we're done. Miami got 326,000. I don't think Joe Biden cares about your safety. He's insane. And let me repeat again, this is important. I'd say it to his face. I'd have no problem saying everything to his face. What the hell is a matter with you?
Starting point is 00:43:03 Oh, and by the way, you cut the deficit? Can you show me? Anyway, you got my point.
