Hey, welcome once again to Investors Edge. I'm Gary Coltbaum, your host. Thanks for being
Starting point is 00:00:51 with us today. Glad you here, ladies and gentlemen, happy that you are listening. I believe it's the eighth. It's Thursday. It's 2026. And I wrote out a check today. that said 2026. Usually it takes me two weeks. Got that going for me. And in case you don't know, this is serious talk on everything that affects you. We will do the markets. We'll do the economy. We'll do jobs. Your job. Your industry. We'll do taxes and deficit spending and scams and shams, corruptions, and a crap load of lies emanating from D.C. right now. We'll do changes in the market because we have a couple of things we want to tell you today. One of them, I don't think we've said it in ages and whatever else comes to mind, ladies and
Starting point is 00:01:44 gentlemen. Tonight we fly up to New York. Hopefully Delta is on their game. By the way, I love Delta Airlines. I think they're the best domestic airline now, I think easily. JetBlue I used to like better, but they're. get you there safe, but they need some work these days.
Starting point is 00:02:09 Anyway, and no, I won't fly spirit anymore. Flown it twice, and I'm telling you, they need some work. All right. If you don't get this radio show in your city, we'll post it at garyk.com. We'll also post on our X feed. And if you don't follow us,
Starting point is 00:02:28 then X, you should. If you like to email us, just be nice. By the way, we'll also post it on the Biz TV. a YouTube channel and other podcast apps. Let me get a few things out of the way. Because, you know, we do a show on you and everything that affects you, and it's mostly markets, the economy and stuff. But we are broad-based.
Starting point is 00:02:51 We have to be broad-based. And because we're broad-based, we get a lot of emails on certain things. And I got a lot of emails on the tragedy that happened in Minnesota last night. And I get asked, why would that affect? you and it really does matter. You don't think it matters? If there's major disturbances and protests and, well, let me tell you how I think so you have an understanding. First off, it's a tragedy.
Starting point is 00:03:27 Anyway, shape, or form. So about two months ago, I was driving down this road where I live and it's pretty much one of the top speed traps in all of Central Florida. And I know that. And the road is 35 and it turns into 25 miles per hour. And a police officer stop me. Do you know what the first thing I do when I see the police officer behind me and the lights on, knowing that he wants to stop me?
Starting point is 00:04:04 Let me tell you what I do. First off, you stop. There are two things I do. I open my window and then I put my hands on the steering wheel for the police officer to see so he knows I am not a risk. Those are the two things I do. Why do I do that? Because I know that every time that police officer stops somebody, he is at risk of stopping a baby. of stopping a bad guy.
Starting point is 00:04:45 I've never understood people putting themselves in harm's way, potential harm's way, by doing what this woman did yesterday. Let her rest in peace. She did not respect authority. This does not happen. This tragedy does not happen if she respected authority. And ICE is an authority. Take it or leave it.
Starting point is 00:05:18 That's that. There's no gray area. They're an authority. And if they tell you to get your ass out of the way, you're supposed to get your ass out of the way. You're not supposed to be there. You're not supposed to be blocking. You're not supposed to be blocking traffic. You're not supposed to. None of this happens if she just respected authority. That's it. That's it. the second part of the equation. You think this officer wanted to shoot somebody? Hell no.
Starting point is 00:06:07 Hell no. You think he wants to be put in that position? Hell no. Now you can take the video for what it's worth. And of course, a certain side says one thing, a certain side says another thing. But nobody was there at the thing. that time. And I repeat, this doesn't happen if she respected authority. You know what's famous on Instagram now? Just so you know, I go on Instagram for food and travel and others that do these
Starting point is 00:06:47 workouts. But on Instagram, they push things to you. And if you click on one, you get 50 of them. and you know what I did? I clicked on one and you know what it was? Somebody who was stopped, traffic stop, and argued and threatened and didn't do this, that, and the other thing, and they ended up being arrested. And all of a sudden there's a zillion of them. And I'm thinking to myself, all you have to do
Starting point is 00:07:23 is respect authority. And that is your police officers, immigration enforcement, firemen and women, if there's a trouble that way, if the FBI shows up at your door, God forbid that happens. Do you get my point? We can go back and forth a hundred times. but we now have a tragedy that did not have to happen and of course you got a bunch of schmucks on the left calling it murder you think this guy want you think this police officer or immigration officer ice whatever
Starting point is 00:08:08 wanted to be in that position hell no anyway as usual it's going to be left right right left but the bottom line that doesn't happen if she just respected authority. I have taught my sons from day one to respect authority, regardless whether you think they're right or wrong.
Starting point is 00:08:35 And that case, when you're a student, that would be your teachers also. What a concept, huh? Just a little bit of logic. And you know what? This woman's wife blamed herself, I center in there. That's a story. Anyway, just the tragedy.
Starting point is 00:09:06 And notice I'm not taking a sign on ice or not. As you know, I am for a strong border. I am for deporting criminals. As you know, I've said to you, I am not for how they've been doing some of these things. It gives a crap what I think. Anyway, that's number one. Number two, let me read this.
Starting point is 00:09:33 We may run Venezuela for years. That's President Trump. My message to all of you who voted for him because George Bush and Dick Cheney and neocons, warmongers want to take over other countries. How dare they? I am not a neocon. I am not a nation builder. I am not going to go into any...
Starting point is 00:10:03 You've been conned. And if you like what he did when you voted for him for the opposite, hey, what can I tell you? Just letting you know. I'm completely against us running Venezuela. It's a bunch of bull crap. We should not have any of Venezuela's oil. We should be out of there.
Starting point is 00:10:28 and have no say in the matter? The man who won, 70% of the last election should be in their run in the joint. We should not have any say. And let me just finish with this. Write this down. Because on Mr. Logic,
Starting point is 00:10:50 they're going to be repercussions from this if we do this. That's all. Why? Because there are bad actors around the globe. that are going to look at it and said, oh, look what you're doing. Look what you're doing. Wait till you see what we're going to do. Up next, the markets.

Starting point is 00:14:50 And... Let me finish with this. I watched a bunch of bull crap artists on TV today fall in line behind the president. And frankly, I can't blame them because they've got to keep their place in the pecking order. But they're bull crap artists. Because I know exactly who was for what and was against what. I am rooting for him. I hope it works out.
Starting point is 00:15:24 Donald Trump is a neocon. Donald Trump is an interfere with other countries. I hope it works out. His whole campaign, 75% was a bunch of bull crap. We move on. And don't email me, okay? You know I'm right. Miami is playing Mississippi tonight.

Starting point is 00:16:38 If you can't afford to lose, don't gamble. Call that number. I'm like Draft Kings or whatever the hell it's called. Anyway, it's big football weekend. Looking forward to it. and I think tomorrow it's who Indiana and who's India
Starting point is 00:17:04 man come on Gary Oregon Indiana looks like a team of destiny this year we'll see still got to win the games and then we have what do we have this weekend
Starting point is 00:17:17 we have NFL games I have not really looked at them yet we'll be doing the show tomorrow but I haven't really looked at them yet. Rams at Carolina, Green Bay, Chicago, Buffalo, Jack. Wow, look at all these games. One, two, three, four, six. Houston at Pittsburgh. Chargers at New England. San Fran at Philly. Buffalo at Jacksonville. Green Bay at Chicago. Huh. I'll have to think about it. We'll be doing the show tomorrow from New York City, ladies and gentlemen. And by the way, you know, I'm not sure what hour.
Starting point is 00:17:59 I'm either on noon or 1 o'clock Fox Business Network tomorrow. Check that out. Okay. I don't know how many months it has been, and we have said to you, avoid most of the oils. Oil stocks. We have said to you from time to time, hey, there's a few oil stocks that are strong, but most are not. Now, this Venezuela thing's going on right now. and you never know what the big outcome is going to be.
Starting point is 00:18:39 And we're told if we're going to have a lot more oil, oil prices have to come down. That's what we're told. Well, well, when you have a chance, go look at the refiners, VLO. I wrote down some symbols. I put him somewhere and I don't know where I put them. H-A-L, S-L-B, NOV, W-F-R-D.
Starting point is 00:19:25 Today will be the first day that we can say to you, we're going to maybe actively do some things in oils. Doesn't mean we're going to. But today is the first day. It feels like something's up, and it could be the Venezuela thing. I don't know. Cause and effect. So just letting you know, we don't know outcome.
Starting point is 00:20:00 It's going to be fluid, but I also think there is a component that it is a commodity. And you know, commodity stocks have done pretty damn well. So we're just starting out letting you know. when you have a chance, look at the ETF, the OIH, at a one-year high, we do want to remind you, it has done nothing. Just so you know, the OIH, back in 01 was at 638th, it's at 315 right now. No, not kidding. But we're dealing with one year.
Starting point is 00:20:40 The XLEs, the big oil, not as strong, the X-O-P, not as strong as the X-L-E. but the refiners, drillers, services, that's the place. That's showing the most strength right now. The news is going to be fluid, and that is an issue.
Starting point is 00:21:08 Who knows what's going to come from it? Don't know. The king is taking over. King Trump. What next? Remember the Seinfeld episode, Risk, on the train with Newman.
Starting point is 00:21:25 I'm going to take over the Ukraine and the guy from Ukraine, you're not taking over Ukraine. Anyway, we really do hope it works out. We're not rooting against him. We're disagreeing with him, if that's okay with you. So we start with oils. Next, just letting you know, today was very much a value day versus growth and an equal weighted day
Starting point is 00:22:00 versus not. What does that mean? Well, equal weighted, if there's 500 stocks in the S&P, each is worth two-tenths of 1%. 500 times 2-tenths equals 100. If I got my abacus correctly. But you have 8.6.
Starting point is 00:22:24 stocks that are over 30% of the S&P. And those eight stocks, six of them act like crap, very much holding things down. So for starters, just letting you know the equal weight had a much better day than the S&P, which was actually down today. The S&P was up 50 cents on a Dow 270. The equal weight, much better. Up next, we'll expound. This is the one and only investor's edge. It's no use putting it off.
Starting point is 00:23:33 The best time for an underwear refresh is now. Tommy John underwear is designed for a perfect fit that stays put all day. Their zero-chafe thanks to four times more stretch than competing brands, and their innovative horizontal quick-draw fly is a game-changer.

Starting point is 00:25:30 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. So, in that vein, top eight Broadcom down 11 today.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Top 8 Apple down over buck, though, was down over four bucks. Top 8, Microsoft down 5 and change. Top 8, meta was down about 3. Though it was down, I think Meta was down like 11 early today? Yes, it was. Top 8, well, excuse me, number 1, Nvidia, down 4 bucks today and actually a little bit below the 50-day moving average. It'll probably get saved tomorrow.
Starting point is 00:26:27 because I don't think they're going to let NVIDIA break below the 50-day moving average. What do you mean, Gary, let the institutions watch this crap, kids. Why do you think these moving averages work? We'll see what tomorrow breaks. Anyway, those drops hurt the S&P versus the equal weight because the equal weight. We have this one screen that is what we call our stuff screen.
Starting point is 00:26:55 Let me, number one, what have we been telling you about food, beverage, tobacco, house-sowed products, and alcohol? Avoid and brutal, bearish action for months and months and months. They had a great day today. Still what I would call in bare markets, except by the way, monster beverages on that list. But they had a really good day today of the areas of the market. housing and housing related have been acting terribly. They had a great day today. The ETF for housing was up 4% today. There's two of them. 4% and almost 4%. Still in downtrends, but a really good day today. Now, does that have anything to do with the president coming out yesterday
Starting point is 00:27:54 and talking about institutions? I don't know. I don't care. But that was part of the stuff screen. Transports. They ain't doing nothing wrong. They ain't doing nothing wrong. And I noticed today the rails, which have been on the weaker side, and actually had a bad day yesterday, got it right back today.
Starting point is 00:28:20 That's part of that screen. Deer, up 25 bucks today. Earnings only down 60, 22, 24, and 14. and the stock has done nothing for a long while, but it was up 25 bucks today. Caterpillar up 11 in the Dow. After being down 26 yesterday, that's part of it.
Starting point is 00:28:46 The hotels. Hilton, right at the highs. Marriott, right at the highs. Hyatt, right at the highs. That area, retail, very strong. today on a relative basis. Costco was up 32, though it was up 50. They had the December numbers. I still think it's valuations too tricky, and we told you that a year ago. I mentioned the oils now defense stocks. They were jammed up early, and we just told our peeps, don't be buying that
Starting point is 00:29:27 stuff. Lockheed Martin today in the morning, hit five, four. 43, closed at 518. Northrop Grumman, was at 639, closed at 590. I'll explain the second. General Dynamics, was it 368, closed at 351. L3 Harris, 337, closed at 325. What was the story? The president came out on one of his tweets,
Starting point is 00:30:09 I'd like to spend $1.5 trillion on defense instead of a trillion, which reversed the bad action in the defense stocks yesterday. But there was no way I was buying this. And here's why. There's no way. 1.5 trillion is getting passed. No way. Imposibly. First off, there's every chance that the Marxist party is going to win the house. I ain't going to let that through But let me tell you my thought Insane Ladies and gentlemen In the year 2000
Starting point is 00:30:53 Our whole federal spending was 1.8 trillion You need to tell me we need to spend 1.5 trillion on defense In the year 2000 I think we spent 300 billion And did a damn good job We need to spend 1.5 trillion
Starting point is 00:31:12 That's bull crap and as you know, there's nobody louder on defending the country than I. But stop. Go look at all the other countries and what they spend. And he's asking for $1.5 trillion. A, we don't have the box.
Starting point is 00:31:34 B ain't happening. I think a trillion's enough. And by the way, I believe the Pentagon has failed how many audits and we're just going to give them more. Anyway, they sold off today. Auto dealers were up today.
Starting point is 00:32:01 GM and Ford up today. Insurance, nice. The economically sensitive names, not all. Good day today. Restaurants. What area being telling you to avoid for a while? We're up today. I think there's one stock that's strong.
Starting point is 00:32:21 Dine brands, which is IHOP and Applebee's. After my prom at North Miami Beach Senior High, guess where we went? I hop. I loved IHop. Haven't been there in a long while now. That's where we went. Went to IHop in North Miami Beach. That's a strong restaurant stock.
Starting point is 00:32:48 I'm not touching it. Do you know why? Earnings down 38. Earnings down 23. Earnings down 32. and earnings down 49, so why is it up at new yearly highs? I have no clue. Or maybe, due to the fact the stock was at 99 bucks three years ago when it's 36 today,
Starting point is 00:33:09 and it's just trying to get back some of that. I didn't realize that Dine Brands was $99 bucks in 21. By the way, Dine Brand stock in the year 2004 is right where it's trading now. Geez, boy, there's a lot of companies, no gains over 20 years. While I'm mad at it, where's Cracker Barrel? Cracker Barrel in 04 was 33, it's now 30. They should have me run Cracker Barrel. I can fix that up.
Starting point is 00:33:51 Big time. They lost their way. And by the way, insiders are selling down at the lows. Beats the hell out of me, why? That's weird. So restaurants, financials, decent day, not all. You had some bounces. Blackstone was up a couple today after getting hit off of the talk about the real estate.
Starting point is 00:34:14 Black Rock was up 12 today, but needs work. And by the way, it's a $1,000 name. A Goldman down six, but J.P. Morgan up three. So a little mixed bag there. Just a weird moving day today, but much. much, much value-oriented with a lot of news-driven stuff. The president's been all over defense stocks
Starting point is 00:34:40 on the negative side and then on the potentially positive side. He was against the institutions buying houses. I don't think that's ever going to pass. And by the way, we're finding that the number of houses these institutions own
Starting point is 00:34:55 is infinitesimal compared to their businesses. So you're find out little things after the fact and I'm also thinking if you stop institutions from buying homes aren't you stopping demand for homes just some things that went through my mind because I'm pretty sure I know economics 101 I'm pretty sure I know economics 101 not a genius but I'm I'm pretty sure I know economics 101.
Starting point is 00:35:44 You stop demand. Hmm. Hey, up next, this, that, and the other thing. Oh yeah, California. This is the one only investors edge. It's no use putting it off. The best time for an underwear refresh is now. Tommy John Underwear is designed for a perfect fit that stays put all day.

Sprinker, because if you're going to talk to yourself for an hour, you might as well publish it. You're listening to. What are we waiting for?
Starting point is 00:38:23 Well, what are you waiting for? One, two, ready, go. Action! Ingestors Edge. With Gary Kulp. So, let's compare and contrast. I am in the beautiful state of Florida. And the governor, Ronda Santis,
Starting point is 00:39:08 is trying to put on a ballot for I believe this year, no real estate taxes. I don't think it's going to pass. But think about this, no real estate taxes. I used to pay, because I'm in the midst of moving, I'm renting right now, I used to pay, what, 13,000 a year in real estate taxes. No real estate taxes. Huh
Starting point is 00:39:40 More money in a homeowner's pocket. Now there's an issue with Florida because the real estate taxes, there's no state tax, pays for things, schools and upgrades of roads and streets and stuff. I don't think it's going to pass, but at least it's been thought about.
Starting point is 00:40:03 And then you have the beautiful state of California run by morons, run by imbeciles, run by duffices, run by people that are economically illiterate, that don't have the foggiest idea about people, especially the people that produce the most for that state. And what do we mean by that? Well, think about this. I live in California. I make $100,000 a year.
Starting point is 00:40:45 I'm just coming up with a number. My state tax is $3,000 to the state. And then there's somebody who makes $10 million. My state tax is going to be $150,000, $130,000. So one person pays two or three grand, the other one pays 150,000, but they both use the same amount of state whatever. So why would somebody pay more than the next? You get my point?
