Glad you here, ladies and gentlemen, happy that you are listening. It's January 2nd. It's 2025, which means for the next two weeks, I will be filling out checks with 2024. Happy New Year to everybody. Hope you had a good New Year's Day. We're going to talk about the tragedy in New Orleans in a moment. Wish you all the best of 2025. Hope you're preparing well. I know it's time for the resolutions and all that fun stuff. Whatever you decide, try and follow through. Not easy. I must tell you, my biggest resolution.

My biggest resolution is going to be on being in shape. That's my biggest resolution. As you know, I've had this running, let's see, back spasms, all kinds of weird stuff, but I am 100% now. So I am going at it in a very big way. That is my resolution. I know how to work out very well, and I'm big on being in shape, and now that I'm 100%, oh yeah. And in case you don't know how I do it, I measure everything in steps, 350,000 steps for the month of January at a minimum, which is about 11,000, a little more than 11,000 a day, whoop we do.

I'll do more than that. That is five pounds of working off. But there's other things you do when just sitting around you burn weight off. And of course, the other part, I don't drink. I don't do drugs. I will be lifting weights five to six days a week. And cutting caloric intake, meaning none of the crap. So that's my big resolution, and I expect within 90 days to be that much better.

And I'm not out of shape, by the way. That's my big resolution starting 2025, and of course I got other things business-wise and things like that. Anyway, whatever you decide, good luck. We have lots to cover. But as you know, this show, we use. to do stocks and stocks and stocks and stocks and stocks and stocks and stocks and then the morlocks took over in dc with massive debt and deficits and corruption and stupidity so we add include them so we described this show now as mixing them with us which is the markets the economy your job your industry

and everything else in between as you know we think think they are the ones who created the inflation, all the troubles. We're running $300 billion monthly deficits now, which is quite insane. And of course, the media hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil, unless it's the side they don't like, then they really discuss it. So this is what we do and this is how we're going to do it going forward. We're going to guide you through the markets and without any bias guide you through what's going on and what we're seeing and why and we will do without any bias any alterative motive any no agenda we couldn't care less who is run in the country we care that they are doing the right thing and as you know i took

with the biden administration i gave no quarter because they deserved no quarter four years of nonsense. And as I have said to you, I really do believe, and I'm saying this knowing Trump's coming in, we dodged a big one as Kamala Harris is left of Joe Biden. There's a line by Ronald Reagan, best line he ever did on the economy and what the one side does. If it moves tax it, there was not a tax. She was not going to run. raise going forward. After they've massively increased the size and scope and reach and debt and deficits and spending of government. So let's hope Trump comes through with the promises of doge and efficiency and effectiveness and getting the hell out of our way. Because that's

really all they have to do is just set the conditions and get out of the way. We'll hold his feet to the fire also. I want to spend a couple of minutes on just in case you don't know, and I don't know if this is patent on the back. We really read in depth. We really go in depth on so many things. And that doesn't make us an expert because we read a lot. But we really go in depth to understand things. And when we talk to you about certain subjects, it's because we've gone in depth. And I was just wondering,

as you know, there was a tragedy in New Orleans, Bourbon Street, Bourbon and Canal. I used to have an office in Metairie, Louisiana, and we used to go to Bourbon Street all the time. And I remember I was also there for the final four when Indiana beat Syracuse. Keith Smart hit the final shot to win the final four. And I stayed at the Hilton and it turns out that Indiana was staying at the Hilton, they kept me up all night. But I went to Bourbon Street with some friends. And to describe

Bourbon Street on some nights, sardines. It's the best way to describe it. You are sardines. You the people are sardines. And all I'm thinking to myself is on New Year's Eve, how the hell, around New Year's do they let a car go through a truck, it was a truck, onto Bourbon Street. What a colossal blunder on their part. for security. You know, I've always said to you on this show, I'm amazed there's not more of these. And it just tells you how great. I don't care what you hear. I know this politics involved, the FBI, this, that, they do a magnificent job protecting us. Think about all the soft targets there are. They're everywhere. Events. How about before you go into security at airports?

malls, anything. They do a great job. And that's because they work closely together with local, state, federal. They do a great job. And then there are those that didn't do a great job. I just don't understand that street,

that iconic street, where a lot of people get drunk, that truck was enabled, was able to. They have these, I don't know what you call them, but they come out of the ground and they're thick

and you really can't drive through them. They're saying they were being fixed. What? Not an answer. This should not have happened. It should not have happened. This scumbag should have not have been able. to get onto that street.

And whoever allowed that should not be in the security business ever again. That's what I was thinking about because I've been there. I've been there. Busy nights you are a sardine. It's like Disney World, Main Street, when Tinkerbell comes down the rope. You're sardines. Anyway, our heart goes out. I don't understand how they say there's definitely no link with this guy in Vegas, both in the military.

A guy in Vegas, I guess, shot himself and then blew the thing up. In front of the Trump Hotel. And then the question is, how the hell does the Trump Hotel let this car just sit there? That's another weird one. Anyway, just wanted to discuss that out of the box. because what comes of this is it takes this to really solidify security even more around the country. And that's our security stuff for today. All right, we got a new year.

The emails I get about the market this year will tell you straight up front. We have absolutely no clue what the market does this year, what leads, what lags. We don't know what the big leader is going to be. We don't know what the big mover is going to be. We know what's going on right now and what the potential is. And that'll be up next.

I recently sat down with IBM's chairman and CEO, Arvin Krishna. And I asked him, how can companies use AI to its fullest potential to create smarter business? My one advice to that, pick areas you can scale. Don't pick the shiny little toys on the side. For example. If anybody has more than 10% of what they had for customer service 10 years ago, they're already five years behind. If anybody is not using AI to make their developers who write software 30% more productive today, with the goal of being 70% more productive.

Yeah. Wow. So we are not asking our clients to be the first experiment on it. We say you can leverage what we did. We're happy to bring out all our learnings, including what needs to change in the process, because the biggest change is not technology, is getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things.

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. Okay. So first, let's talk today.

And I really don't know how to describe it except to say futures, the Dow is up like 400. the NASDAQ was up 200, something like that. Anyway, the Dow was up 360 at one time today. It was down 300 and something. Let's see, 42-174, that's 218. It was down 370. There was a 730 point swing throughout the day. Don't ask me why. I have no idea. It finished down 151. A culprit Apple, down almost seven, got a big downgrade today. Somebody came out and said the iPhones are tracking badly for December, and that's a big month, don't you think, for retail? So that didn't help. But we were up 360 early, and then down 370, and then they rallied a little bit into the close down 150. The NASDAQ finished down 30. But the NASDAQ at one time today, let me get this right, 19517, that's 230, was up 200 at one time today. It was 19117 at the lows. That's one, was down 200. I'm given approximate. And finished only down 30. Nasdaq 100 down 36, S&P down 13, transports down 72.

Advanced declines were a little bit to the positive. I would just call today Wild Swings Day. And I believe what comes of that, the reason why is just a lot of start of the year positioning. Does it change the playing field? I didn't see much in the way of changing the playing field. Did it change any trajectory? The only thing I can tell you is the oils, which had a very good start of the week,

had another good day today as oil price were up about a buck 40. So oil a little bit better. Certainly no bull market. We call it a recovery after being down so much. But oil stocks, a good day. Gold had a good day. Now, gold never really got hit hard. It pulled back, but not much. It's been the gold miners and gold miners finally had a decent day, though they're still down about 20% from the highs of October. I will tell you what my job is right now. The market's been under pressure. There's been a lot of stocks that have gone by what we call the wayside. And what that means is they broke some. support and or moving averages.

And the more that do that, the more that tells me about the market. But the ones that don't budge while the market's getting trashed, we really want to stay on top of them. Always important to us. And all we're doing right now, what stocks are showing big strength? What stocks are holding the 21 day moving average, which makes them stronger than the ones holding the 50 day moving average, but is just as important. And I can tell you, Broadcom stands out. Reddit stands out. Something you may never heard of called Astero Labs stands out. something called Credo Tech stands out.

Taiwan semi stands out. In the financials, it's something called interactive brokers stands out. And then we lower it a little bit, and then other names show up. And I just simply keep a list. I put them on screen where I can see them in,

real time as they trade, I will recognize which ones, by the way, what we're looking from any of them is them breaking out of the freaking ranges. And the longer they sit in range and then break out, the better. I can tell you flat out, nothing is breaking out right now. As I look at the new yearly high list, I got not much. In fact, even though it'll show up as 50 new highs. As I look at the list, there's a lot of non-operating companies. I see some no-sales biotechs. I'm finding a couple of those oils that we mentioned. But that's it. That's it. So we know there are a lot of strong names that are lying in the weeds and we'll be ready. and we don't mind if they sit around for a month or two.

That just stretches the rubber band before they get going. I'll tell you one country stands out above the rest and that's Argentina. As we told you, there's this gentleman but not by the name of Millay that they came in and said was an extreme right wing nut. And all he did was walk in and cut taxes, cut regulations and inflation went down. the economy went up, money coming into the Treasury skyrocketed, and guess what? Their stocks are strong versus China is weak. Why? Because they do the opposite there.

Control this, control that. You would think one day the guy in China would see what's going on in Argentina and say, well, maybe we've got to go back to doing a little bit of that. Just so you know, China was going towards free markets and the dude decided to go the other way. And that's what happened, and that's why they're not doing very well right now. So just letting you know this Argentina thing is sticking out. And as far as our indices, well, as we have said, if we get more three to one negative days, that's going to be more and more stocks breaking down.

If we get the opposite, that'll be improvement. And today, all I did all day, I got this one page, anything. holding the 50 day in bouncing, like a Spotify. Spotify today held the 50 day. Doesn't mean I'm buying it. It just means it's in range bound, but held significant support, and we'll keep it on watch. If it broke the 50 day, oh, it goes into the other screen. So that's a good thing.

That's Spotify helped. Meta did the same thing today. Got an upgrade. Meta held the 50 day. It was up 2%, no big deal. And has done nothing since, we'll call it October, but held. So it stays in our view. And then we'll look to see better.

And then on the other end, oh, I've got a bunch of things that broke areas of support. Hotels broke areas of support today. Not good news. Some airlines that were strong. that's how we roll. Constant watch. Up next. More on these markets. News of the day, I'm Gary. This is the one only investors' edge.

Hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Mbata. 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? Yeah.

My cell phone is a mature technology at this point. How far are we from that point with Quantum? By 2029, we'll build the first fault-tolerant quantum computer. That is one that can run a very, very large, large problem. To learn how IBM is building the future of computing, visit IBM.com slash quantum. Amazon Hub Delivery wants to partner with your business.

Restrictions apply. See website for full terms and conditions. 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 welcome once again. Investors Edge. By the way, in case you don't know, already the Republicans are fighting like mad dogs. and in case you don't know,

I believe the House is supposed to certify the presidency on January 6th. And in case you don't know, I don't know if that's going to get done because I don't think it can be done unless you have a Speaker of the House. And right now there's some major infighting going. And I notice something, this is something you all need to be watching out for.

You know, all the talk is of how popular President elect Trump is. Well, he went and said I am backing this Mike Johnson

to keep his speaker. And one would think everybody would fall in line. Nope. A bunch of them have given President elect Trump a certain finger and I don't think the guy

has the votes. So there may be more nonsense going on. It is amazing that the Republican Party, I have this line, never, I've said it before, never piss on prosperity. And it seems like every time they end up prospering, they stomp on it.

Amazing to watch. Watch for that in the next week. That's going to be very important, because in case you do not know, the Republicans have the Senate, handily, they don't have the house handily. In fact, after some moves, they got some people that are going to nominate it for the cabinet, that will move away from the house.

Gates is gone from Pensacola, thank God. God, I'm not going to say anything bad today. They can't lose, I don't think they can lose two or three votes. and I think they're losing them. So watch for this because there's going to be some interesting goings-ons, goings-on in the Republican Party, and they need to be careful. Here's something else most people don't know.

A Democrat can become Speaker of the House. Hakeem Jeffries, the leader of the Dems in the House. If the Republicans are not careful, if 215 Dems and the Republicans don't get their act together, you may get a Democrat Speaker of the House, and that'll be one of the biggest buffooneries that ever happened in Washington, D.C. So just letting you know,

it says that Trump doesn't have everything in line as of yet. And that is surprising to me based on what just happened with the election. Welcome to the world. Back on markets. I got asked yesterday by more than one person that I had said something I don't think a bear market is coming, but I do believe areas are in bear markets. Can you explain what that meant? Well, in 22, we thought a bear market was coming because growth stocks were getting blasted. We believe that growth stocks really are a great characteristic for bear market as they will lead down.

And back then, one by one, they were breaking left and right. Don't get me wrong, we've had a bunch breakdown. But the real frontline leaders have not. Are we open to that? Yeah, sure. I'd have to see a lot more weakness. So we'll just keep saying to you, avoid the housing, avoid the fence stocks, avoid most everything health care, which is hospitals, managed care, drugs, medical research and medical products, and big biotech, most of the commodities, staples, insurances, insurance, and medical products, and big biotech, most of the commodities, staples, insurance,

a lot of the economically sensitive stocks, and by the way, United Rentals down another 14 today, which gives worry. A lot of retail, not all.

There's a few strong. Rails and truckers avoid. Waste management, avoid. Anything breaking the 50 day and staying below, avoid. I think,

Marriott busted the 50-day day. Let's see. Marriott broke the 50-day pretty handily today. Doesn't mean end of world, it just means it cannot ascend. Oh, and Hilton broke the 50-day also. So there's a couple of things there. What we really are watching for is what happens with these indices when they're below. I can tell you the Russell is below the 50-day. The mid-caps are below the 50-day. The X-L-I industrials below the 50-day, and by the way, it didn't finish too well. The metals in mining below the 50-day bounced a little bit. I mentioned the oils way below the 50-day, but they're bouncing some. But is that good news if oil prices go up?

We'll see. The airlines that have been strong, I can tell you, Delta broke the 50-day. And the more we see of that, it gives us good good. clues. And of course, a lot of the semiconductor stocks have just been dead, with some things crushed. And of course, as you know, that other thought process, that 10 stocks of 55% of the NASDAQ, 10, 36%, that's as of three days ago. It changes every day, but doesn't change much. The S&P is a little bit below the 50 day right now and did not finish. great today. By the way, the SPY needs to hold, let's call it 580. Closed at 580, I think

583 today, if I got that right. Make that 580, almost 585. SPY. So there's a lot of goings-on out there. It's become much more narrow. It actually makes my job a little bit easier because I got less things I have to even look at, but narrowness is not the greatest thing you want to see. Advance the clients today. 2220 on the New York. Almost 23 to 19 on the NASDAQ. But again, you had this chance today to have a big day and they sold into it. The good news is you had a chance for it to get smacked also.

and got a little bit on the defendant side. Tomorrow be another day. Apple broke the 21-day moving average handily. Again, somebody put out a note about the iPhone, not selling well in December. That didn't help, and let me just finish up by saying Tesla. Down 24 bucks today, it's off $109 from the high. They came in with their delivery numbers less than estimates.

So giveeth and taketh on that Tesla. And let me just tell you, that is one heck of a wild stock. We played it on the last move, made over $100. Tried once more, I think we gave back $10. And now we're fortunately out of it this second. Bitcoin had a strong day, held support today. But again, a word to the wise on this micro strategy. Leverage has its rewards when things are going right.

Leverage kicks you in a certain place when things are going wrong. And that's to be watched closely. Why? I think we've gotten 500 emails about the stock in the last few months. Do you know why? Oh, because it was moving up. We also got a bunch of emails on what we have told you. A lot of froth and speculation, a bunch of no-sale stuff.

We'll talk about that up next. On this, the one only investors' edge. Hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM. I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Embatta.

Action! In the Gester's Edge. With Gary Culpa. As you know, by the way, as we speak, the sugar bowl is now being played. I think there was the right move yesterday to cancel it for one day. That's just my own opinion. And let's see. What do we got here?

No to Dane, Georgia. It's just started a few minutes ago. No score. Wild, some wild football games in this playoff. What was that? Texas, Arizona State. Holy crap. I feel great for the kicker.

for Texas who missed two field goals. One was like a 30-some-odd whatever, and he would have been one heck of a goat if Texas would have lost. I'm happy they won just for that. I hate saying that. I really hate seeing that. All right.

Drones, quantum computing, robo-taxies, batteries for some of that, There is, I'm going to guess 25, 30, maybe a little bit more, some I may have not even seen of stocks from anywhere starting from 30 cents

up to higher. Some are up tenfold in the last month or two. I seen one that's gone from 30 cents to three bucks. That's tenfold. I seen one go from

six to 55. It actually went from six to 90. and it's back to 55, thus be careful. We feel like we have to repeat ourselves because we do know what's going to happen if nothing changes. Remember those three words. If nothing changes.

Those three words. We say those three words because you never know if things are going to change. You never know. Maybe one of these quantum computing companies that have no sales, all of a sudden is doing 100 million or 500 million or a billion. We're just letting you know if nothing changes. When the music stops, there will be no chairs to sit in.

They all go back to where they came from originally. But the word is eventually. Because we do not know how far they go, when they stop, and how it plays out as it goes back to where it came from. Sometimes something that went from 5 to 50 will back down to 25 and go back to 50 and back to 25 and then to 10 and 5 and 5. We don't know. We're just letting you know what the eventuality it is at all times. And if I had the time,

I can go through 500 to 1,000 names. Going back, oh, we can go back to 95 of companies with no sales that got caught up in, well, we'll use the word mania, froth, speculation, whatever. And nowhere are we not saying quantum computing ain't going to be the end-all-be-all going forward. But if a company has no sales, it's gone back to where it came from.
