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 for being with us today.
Glad you're here, ladies and gentlemen.
Happy that you are listening.
It is Wednesday, the 10th, September, 2025.
Hope you having a good day.
before we even get going.
Late breaking news, I don't know if you know who Charlie Kirk is.
He is the head of Turning Point USA, which is a youth-based political organization that wants to bring youth on college campuses and in schools to the, I guess you call it the conservative.
side. He does these get-togethers at colleges to where he sits and debates people who
completely disagree with him. He was very instrumental in the election for President Trump.
Well, he was shot by a cowardly prick on the campus in Utah. And I don't know. I don't.
don't have any other info. As you know, we have no bias here. We don't care what side of the aisle
you're on. Violence. No. We hope he's going to be okay. I don't know him. I've never met him.
He's definitely right-leaning. The Morlocks are already out. I'm not going to name who.
And we're just going to leave it at that.
Nothing else to discuss on that.
But the creeps are out in droves already.
It's amazing to watch.
Wishing and wanting death for people for having an opinion that's different than yours.
I'll never understand.
Anyway, we have some fish to fry today on this show.
And time to cover.
By the way, first, this is serious talk on everything that affects you.
We'll do the markets, the economy, your job, your industry.
Debt and deficits and scams and shams and corruption, you name it, we cover it.
And if you don't get this radio show in your city, we'll post it at garyk.com.
We'll also post it on our X feed.
And if you don't follow us, it actually should.
also the
YouTube channel
biz TV and all the podcast apps
and if you'd like to email me
just be nice by the way one more
note
as I have told you
we were going to run for office
and a
Democrat and a Republican
operative scared me straight
on some of the
questions asked
and the things they had said
and also
So the part of it is the security.
In case you don't know, the amount of death threats politicians get, you would not believe.
And I must tell you, I like living.
Actually, we just hope the young man is doing okay.
I think he's only like 30 years old.
All right.
We move on.
Oracle.
Let me read something to you on Oracle, which by the way, finished up today, $86.
to $328.
And in case you don't know, this is a bigger cap stock.
So $86, my dog is barking in the background.
You'll have to put up with it.
$86.
I'm going to say it's about 240 billion additional market cap in Oracle today.
Let me read the numbers to you.
Oracle now projects cloud infrastructure revenue
to climb from 18 billion this year to 144 billion over the next 4 to 5 years.
And I believe there's, I think they're saying that's yearly revenue.
Revenue to climb from 18 billion this year to 144.
That's what I think they're saying.
In case you don't know, these are gargantuan numbers.
and gargantuan predictions.
And in case you also don't know,
Larry Ellison, the CEO,
is not like the guy who runs micro-strategy
calling for $13 million on Bitcoin.
He's not out there touting,
and he's given out these numbers.
Now, keep in mind, these are predictions.
But I think they're based on
some valid thought process, time will tell. I hate saying those three words, but that's a fact.
Time will tell. And all I can tell you, not only Oracle, but anything involved, anything involved
with what we call AI cloud contracts. By the way, that was another part of this.
They have something called remaining performance obligations,
surge from $138 billion to $455 billion quarter over quarter,
a massive 359% jump anchored by four multimillion-dollar AI cloud contracts.
It's unbelievable.
The numbers are staggering if, in fact, all this comes out.
And what ended up happening, anything involved today,
things that were sleeping
woke up
something like
a
GEVanova
GEV up $38
today
6%.
And it's been sleeping
for a bunch of weeks
and what they do is
how do I put this
electric power systems
and that would be for the data
centers and things like that
not only GEV
but let's
a weaker C.E.G.
was up $19 today.
And there were others.
Then there was also something like comfort system,
symbol fix,
ventilation, heating, air conditioning for commercial industrial use.
The data centers.
Then there's something like VIRTV holdings, VRT,
was up 12% today.
Guess what they do?
technology, infrastructure, for data centers.
So anything to do with AI on the move.
Broadcom up 9% today, just recently gapped up.
Nvidia, not the greatest move, back above the 50 day, up 3.85%.
Palantir up 4.
I can go on and on.
You get the point.
That area was amazing today.
with the NASDAQ up six.
And by the way, the NASDAQ was down 50 with 20 minutes to go.
The NASDAQ down six.
Now, there were some things that ended up negative because of it.
Amazon, which is very neck deep in some of this stuff that Oracle announced,
was down eight bucks today and failed a little move to the upside.
as well as some other things
and that's what happened with the NASDAQ
not being up while Broadcom up 33
Oracle up 86 in the Oracle's in NYSC stock
as well as others
Taiwan semi up nine
arm holdings which has been dead money
for a while up 13
this is all the artificial intelligence stuff
so when you hear a lot of people
say well those numbers will not
come through, they may be right, but according to Oracle, they're wrong.
So very strong day for that area, while weak in other areas, and as you know, we stay away
from weak downtrending areas.
That is of import.
And we'll go through everything throughout the show as far as the markets go, but the
story today, that
Oracle number
that they are predicting.
And by the way, their earnings
were only up 6% and they missed
their earnings estimate.
Let me repeat that. They missed
their earnings estimate.
But I don't think we've ever
seen guidance
like this.
This is some serious guidance.
If it doesn't come through, bad news.
But I want to repeat.
Larry Ellison is
Not the type that goes out and makes statements like that.
I think he has a strong belief.
And we'll see how it plays out.
But very good day for everything that is a benefactor off of more this artificial intelligence buildout that's going on.
Up next, we got a load for you.
Thanks for being here.

Hello, hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of Smart Talks with IBM.
I recently spoke with IBM's new director of research, Jake Mbeta.
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 quantum?
By 2029, we'll 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.
Well, the Dow was down 220 today with all this fireworks and AI.
Weakness, Apple.
down $7.30.
What happened?
I believe we mentioned it yesterday.
So Apple does this whole big get-together,
and these are our new products,
and all it is is another phone
and another watch
with some improvements.
I hear the phone is,
I didn't even spend time on it,
but what I did see was
one of the phones is going to be a,
thinner phone. And I do know, I don't know if they announced that yesterday, they're going to have
some sort of flip phone and then the watch. Now, I have an Apple watch. I don't think I'm ever going to,
I don't think I'm ever going to need to exchange it or do a new one. And I heard there was some
extra things on there. I think Apple's biggest problem is something I predicted on the fifth
phone, which I was wrong on, is that who's going to keep going from the one phone to the next?
And I got news for you.
People have.
But I will tell you, if I'm the normal guy, I got the new phone about, what, five, six months ago, but I waited like five years when I didn't used to wait that long.
So all I can tell you, they hit Apple Good Today.
and yesterday.
And it's just not a strong stock versus other things.
And in fact, Apple, let me see if I can get this right.
In three years, how about three and a half years?
Yeah, I'll use that.
In three and a half years is up 20%.
And I gather the NASDAX better than that, I think.
Now I'm using the high.
Let me see if that's right.
Nah, the NASDAQ is...
Okay.
Not as bad as I thought.
But near term, definitely not so strong,
and we don't own any right now.
We also just noticed that just let you know,
they were hitting some big names like meta and Netflix and Amazon and Apple.
Tesla was up nine and finished flat.
So I think that weight, Carvana was down 10.
So that weight on the index, but also Costco down $22.
And we, what we say for like the last two years,
how can anybody buy Costco at a 60 times earnings?
And that's a fact.
A price earnings multiple of 60, when the company grows
single digits in sales
and has had some single digit quarters in earnings.
And of course there's a premium on it because it's Costco,
but eventually valuation will come in
and the stock is pretty much been dead now for
about 15 months.
And off the highs.
And not much off the highs. We'll call it about 12%.
But Costco is down $23.00.
Also got to mention salesforce.com that's in the Dow.
One of the weakest, if not the weakest, big software name remains in the bare market.
And they just reported earnings, the stock gap down.
It bounced with the market.
And they trashed it back down today.
And that did not help the Dow.
And I also have to mention in the Dow today, for whatever reason, McDonald's breaking down here.
and may I state for the record the restaurant stocks in dire straits.
I go through all the restaurant stocks every couple of days.
They are all in downtrends at this moment in time.
And you have some big crashes, Kava Group, hit 172 last November at 65 today.
Chipotle, we warned you about that 50 for one stock split.
Hit a high in 24 of 70 bucks, it's 38.
Chipotle.
How's Cheesecake Factory doing?
Even Cheesecake Factory is topped out, and that was a stronger one.
Domino's Pizza down 14 today.
Wink stopped down 11.
We'd avoid the restaurants, and that has us thinking.
Oh, by the way, Starbucks continues down.
Very weak.
And Cracker Barrel, which, by the way,
They listened. No remodeling of the restaurant. We told you, don't do any changes, but do better marketing. And they listened. Good on them. I actually spoke to the guy who manages the restaurant around where I live. And I said to them, I said, listen, I introduced myself, told them what I did. Don't change. And they did. But stock is very weak because of the group. And again, back on.
Starbucks. Remember what I told you? The new CEO said screw that. We're not changing pricing. And I'm like, really? In a price conscience environment, price conscious environment, they don't, they, what do they think? They're premium. But I will say the Cortata is a very good drink. But it is 130 calories. When I have my coffee,
which is whenever I don't want calories, but it is pretty damn good.
Restaurant business is very tough, ladies and gentlemen,
but you still can't get a reservation at Fort Charles in New York City.
You got to pray for one.
Anyway, so, where'd we go?
Oracle, AI, but a bunch of big names got hit today.
restaurants in bad shape
I got them also mention
rails and truckers
very bad shape
and I just
you know I put little pieces of a puzzle
together
rails and truckers
huh
restaurants
huh
any pieces of the puzzle there you can put together
I'm always thinking
huh
delivery of things
UPS and FedEx have been dead, we'll be paying attention.
Why?
Job market's a little squirrelly right now.
And as we always said, people losing their jobs will tend to spend less.
And when there's a lot of people losing their jobs, there's going to be a lot less spending.
And since it's 70% of the economy, it's something to watch.
On top of that, the jobs available has been going down.
By the way, Wingstop was only down seven today.
My bad.
I gave you an erroneous number.
Sorry about that.
Also, retail.
We mentioned that yesterday.
We'll cover that a little bit.
And what else was working today?
I'm Gary.
This is the one only investor's edge.
Hello, I'm Malcolm Gladwell, host of the podcast Smart Talks with IBM.
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 them, 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 it.
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.
It's getting people to accept that there's a different way to do things.

You'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 wealth once again to Investors Edge.
So we mentioned Costco down 23.
That can't be good, right?
I think maybe it's just the valuation.
We'll be watching the retail.
There's been some retail weakness.
Nothing outrageous at this point in time.
But if we start to see retail stocks in trouble en masse with restaurants,
which by the way is retail,
airlines
remain pretty strong right here
so no worries
the cruise lines remain okay too
but if we start to see them
we're going to be talking to you
oil prices have edged up a little bit
but interest rates have edged down
well interest rates have plunged
which is not a bad thing
but with just a little heads up
some of the retail
not all
restaurants
rails and truckers
and let me tell you when you look at the rails and truckers
yikes
now we're getting all kinds of questions
about 1999 and artificial intelligence
can we get's yeah we can
let me explain how
1999 happened
so you know
back then
money was flowing
into internet and technology
and it got a little crazy to where they were buying up internet stocks that really had no game.
You had mutual funds change their name from the technology fund to the internet fund.
You had companies add dot com to their name and their stocks got juiced.
Also during that time, when all was said and done, the home builders,
were at one-time's earnings.
I told you that story.
So here's how it works.
The big institutions
start noticing
that, boy, oh boy,
this ain't working, this is working.
And the more this ain't working,
the more they continue to sell.
So it ain't working even more
and ain't working even more.
and the money has to go somewhere because they have to be invested so where does it go oh this is what is working
and both sides feed on themselves to the point where the NASDAQ went insane and that is institutions
wanting to keep up so they just buy without any abandon with no technical analysis involved
they didn't care if a stock went up 20% two days before, just buy it.
Because remember, this is all about human nature and emotions and fear and greed.
So they would pile on and pile away, I don't think you can pile away,
get away from things like the home builders that were down to one-time's earnings,
as well as some other things.
And then there's the retail front.
I told you the story.
I believe it was like
seven or eight months
from late 98 to 99.
I don't know the exact timing.
But I had an account up 100%.
And I had a client call me up
and fired me.
100%.
Wasn't good enough.
I had a dime.
A very nice, meek and mild man.
A doctor.
I had bought Oracle.
By the way, I had bought Oracle on a big gap to the upside, and then it flagged, and then I bought it.
I think, if memory serves me right, I was up fivefold on it.
Four or fivefold.
That had a big move.
I sold it.
This meek and mild man, this doctor called me up and F-bombed me.
And when I say F-bombed me, I mean F-bombed me.
Why?
Caught up in the fear and greed.
And the emotion of, how do you sell something?
It was up four or five-fold.
That's what's the emotion.
were like back then?
Well, maybe
a little bit
I think this
Oracle could set off
that type.
I am not predicting it.
I am not telling you anything.
I am not telling you to buy cell,
hold, or cover. I just know
how human
nature works. You remember GameStop,
by the way, when it did its thing,
and the 78
80-year-old woman calls me up on the phone.
Should I buy GameStop?
Somebody didn't even know?
And I said, do you know where the stock was a week ago?
No, not sure.
And I said, well, I guess it was up threefold.
Don't you think that has risk?
And her answer was, what if it keeps going higher?
And then she got mad at me because I wouldn't tell her what to do.
Emotion.
So we're going to be watching.
two things. Number one, those stocks, the artificial intelligence. But number two, institutions
with everything else. Because back then, they were selling off everything to the point where, as I said,
home builders, and it doesn't mean home builders doing the same. I'm just saying it was home builders.
I remember most, was it one-time's earnings? And when the market top, guess what did well? The home builders.
So if we start coming on this radio show and start telling you about all these areas
topping out breaking down, but AI is doing its thing, we'll see.
We're open to all outcomes for one reason and one reason only.
Three words.
Fear and greed.
Our job is to measure it, especially when it potentially.
can go to extremes.
Other things that, good day
for the oil stocks today. Oil prices are up
over a stick.
Defense stocks are up. I don't know
if you saw, though.
Poland shot down
drones from Russia.
And I got news
for you. If Russia goes into Poland,
look out.
We're talking about some serious crap.
Remember,
I think Donald Trump did nothing wrong
by meeting with Putin.
I would have too if I was president.
Try to get anything done.
But Putin played him.
Would have played me, would have played you.
He had no thoughts of stopping.
And in fact, on his way home while he was on the plane,
was bombing Ukraine.
And now, by no accident, sends drones into Poland.
Which, by the way, if you ever been to Krak out,
it is beautiful.
I've been to Krakow.
I haven't been to Warsaw.
Got to do that one day.
So defense stocks had a better day.
And I think, you know, you're seeing also oil prices up.
Israel took out some bad people in the cutter.
I think that did the trick.
And a lot of moving parts out there, kids.
I also want to mention the food, beverage to drugs acting poorly, especially food and beverage.
Those stocks are acting terribly.
Don't diversify.
Make sure you stay in bull markets.
And let me tell you, some of these alcohol, I don't know if you've been reading the stories, but alcohol usage is like at its lowest level in like ever.
Constellation brands.
alcohol company last September was 258 it's now 142 and as you know I don't drink
if I have five drinks in a year it's big and I really the only time I drink is when I go
to Nobu because they have this great drink that I it's a spicy thing of a Bob five is a big
year for me and I still don't get people in alcohol a lot of it doesn't even taste good
But good luck to you.
So the alcohol stocks had just been destroyed.
Up next, we'll whine and complain about 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 Wester's Edge with Gary Culper.
And welcome once again to Investors Edge.
Let's talk Pandora's Box.
You know what Pandora's Box is, right?
If you don't go look it up.
You see, as you know, I'm completely against the tariffs.
They're taxes, and I'm amazed how many conservatives
just because they want to make nice, nice with the president,
all of a sudden love higher taxes.
Tariffs are taxes.
Let us start.
not forget that. The administration is praising the money coming in, but it's not coming in. It's
already here. It's being paid by us, our businesses, and the consumers. To what extent it heads
into the consumers? I don't know. We'll see. The administration is praising the fact that, oh,
we've already collected this amount of billions of dollars, higher taxes.
If you recall the administration, President Trump, one of his main thought processes when he was running for election is Kamala Harris wanted to raise taxes on everything.
President Trump did not.
Well, not true.
President Trump
is praising
and they're predicting with the Secretary
of Treasury
$7 trillion is going to come in
over the next 10 years.
8 trillion.
Well, that would be an $8 trillion tax hike
on the economy.
Pandora's box.
What does the left like most?
The left.
They love.
to take money away from you. They love to tax you. You know, Bernie. Bernie Sanders,
there's a video out there. You can go check that he once wanted a 100% tax on any money you
make above a million dollars in a year, which means the economy would go into the
crapper. Who'd want to work? Nobody's going to work. I've been told,
But Gary, we once had 90% tax rates
Well, we did, but you know what else we had back then?
Tax shelters up the wazoo.
Do you know back then we had tax shelters where you put in 10 grand
and you can write off 100?
I'm not making it up.
It was insane.
It was insane the tax shelters that were out there.
So effective tax rates, people on 90% were like at 25.
It was too easy.
And of course, they got rid of those tax shelters eventually.
I think this may be still some out there.
Pandora's box.
President Trump is using massive,
gargantuan, multi-trillion dollar tax policy
on the economy without the House and the Senate.
Now, in case you don't know,
tax policy is supposed to go through the House
and then voted on in the Senate.
And then it goes to the desk of the White House.
Well, not anymore.
Taxes.
Tariffs.
What do you think the next lefty president's going to do?
Huh?
You know they love taxes.
Gavin Newsom.
Highest tax rate in the country, I believe, is California.
What do you think he's going to do?
Well, he's going to say Trump did it.
Up yours, America.
And by the way, not only are we doing tariffs, I'm putting an executive order into this, that, and the other thing.
And if you don't like it, go screw.
I'm here for four years.
Go screw.
Pandora's box.
So Trump, he's gone in three and a half years.
Getting close to three years now.
What if a lefty wins?
They're frothing at the mouth right.
now, ladies and gentlemen, and the president set us up for the kill down the road, setting a precedent
of not using the House and the Senate votes on massive tax policy. Did any of you ever think of that?
We did. Just remember, the left hate you. They just use you. Unfortunately, President Trump
is doing it just a little bit different way.
But the same outcome,
a crap load of money out of the economy,
we'll see how it plays out.
Pandora's box.
It's called opening up a can of worms.
Now the Supreme Court is looking at this,
and the Supreme Court should
make it illegal for Trump
to do what he's doing.
But they won't.
You know why?
6-3.
You think they're going to turn down Trump?
I doubt it.
I'd be surprised.
And unfortunately, my so-called brethren that are supposed conservatives,
fiscal conservatives, low-tax conservatives,
are actually rooting for the Supreme Court to agree with Trump.
So he can tax the living crap out of us.
How about that?
So if you are for tariffs, you ain't no conservative.
That's my take.
You may agree or you may disagree.
Sorry.
Lastly, 10-year yields down at 4.03.
I think we can get a half-point cut, not a cross.
quarter from the Fed. Ain't going to create a job, but certainly easier money. We'll see it.
That'll be, I believe, next week. And that all said, you have a great evening. Drive carefully.
When you get home, do like we do. Quite simple. Make sure you hug your family. Make sure you
hug your children. They will feel better. You'll feel better. I promise stay well, be well.
