Starting point is 00:00:33 Investor's Edge with Gary Coltbaum. 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 Colpom. I'm your host. A thanks for being with us today. Glad you here, ladies and gentlemen, happy that you are listening.
Starting point is 00:00:51 It is Wednesday, what is it, 27th, 2023, as we head into the new year. Hope you having a good day. Hope you having a good week. Lots to cover, and I mean lots to cover and lots to answer from you, the peeps. First off, you do not get this radio show in your city. We'll post it at garyk.com. We'll also post it on our Twitter feed, which is now X. And if you don't follow us there, you should follow us because we're very charming and very sarcastic.
Starting point is 00:01:18 You can email me, just be nice. All you've got to do is be nice. It's quite simple. And we leave it at that. And by the way, this is serious talk with a little comedy injected. but right now we give no comedy we have no comedy because of what's going on with Israel and just so you know a bunch of racist bigoted anti-Israel anti-Jew I won't use the other words I'm thinking blocked JFK Airport they went on to the main highway
Starting point is 00:01:56 and blocked it that as you enter JFK And that's not what pisses me off. What really irks me, nothing's going to happen to any of them. Maybe a grandma missed her flight to see her grandkids because of them. And I can give any other scenario that would make somebody upset. Not one thing is going to happen. And we, I, Mr. Logic. and we mean that sincerely.
Starting point is 00:02:47 I don't say that as sarcasm. I'm the most logical man on earth. It's simple. If you arrest them, if you indict them with a felony, if you make them pay a decent amount of bail, if you take them to trial, if you find them guilty
Starting point is 00:03:05 and they may have to do even a month in bail, they may think about not doing it a second time. but all these people around the country, not in every area, these shoplifters, these people that are threatening Jews, or anybody, they're just getting away with it because they know they can. The stories I'm reading on a daily basis, it's stunning. We would have never known unless some good reporting was done. amazingly, there's this Harvard review, it's like a newspaper or whatever, one of the editors got in the Jews' faces and threatened them.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Nothing happened to them. Nothing. Not a word. Not a thing. Nothing. Imagine being threatened. Your life threatened. Your body threatened. from the head of the Harvard Business Review, whatever it's called, and not a thing. Haven't heard a word. In Grand Central Station, a man, Stephen Hutchinson, 36 years old, stabbed a 14-16-year-old girls that were there visiting from Paraguay. They were just there in Grand Central Station. You ever been there?
Starting point is 00:04:51 They have this nice food court and this and that. The man who stabbed these two teenage girls on vacation has 17 prior arrests and was let out of jail two weeks before, even though he said, I want all the white people dead, and has been arrested for beating the crap out of people. Another victim said on November 7th, this same man was harassing a woman pulling a gun on him. for trying to protect the woman and this guy is roaming grand central station gary your district attorney in new york city me handsome and buff gary this dude's in jail he ain't out screw you i put enough bail on his ass that he is not out but this is going on and on and on in so many places The shoplifters being arrested 30, 40 times and doing it again and again? To the point where did you read the story?
Starting point is 00:06:14 This is months ago. A shoplifter in Home Depot, I'm not sure where. One of the Home Depot men who, like, are at the front, gets pushed down, hits his head and dies. The shoplifter murder. It took murder to put him in jail. I'm very careful with my words, and I know there's people out there, lose in our country, this that, this that. I try to get away from that and just tell you
Starting point is 00:06:43 the specifics. But I got to tell you the more and more I see on a daily, it's stunning. It's absolutely stunning. And I can sit here and do three hours of this and go through one by
Starting point is 00:07:02 one, one by one. One of the girls, the knife sticking out of her back, nicked her lung. the other one was stabbed in the thigh. He was finally booked on attempted murder, assault, criminal possession of a weapon, and misdemeanor, endangering the welfare trial.
Starting point is 00:07:24 Maybe that'll keep him in. Insanity rules. And unfortunately, we have to start with these because this really, it's getting worse and worse, and it's going to affect things down the road, somewhere down the road. People were getting out of their ubers and lifts and walking a mile,
Starting point is 00:07:51 which is about 20 minutes, maybe even more with luggage, to get to the terminal. I got to tell you something. If it happened to me, all I'd be thinking about is my good buddy John Bradshaw-Layfield, JBL of the WWE, his finishing maneuver was a close line from hell it was called. That's what I'd be thinking about as I pass these people. and oh, we're protesting for Palestinians. No, you're protesting against Israel and Jews. Who are you trying to freaking kid?
Starting point is 00:08:34 You lie in sacks. Anyway, sorry we had to start with that because now we segue. Because that's what we do. And ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you. We put out this little offer. We did a webcast, I don't know, 10 days ago. Just so you know, it is the most important webcast you would ever have. It's an hour long, and basically we define bull and bare markets by what you see, not what you hear.
Starting point is 00:09:02 Because as we tell you, for the physicality of bull and bare markets, there's a physicality. They have to look a certain way. They have to go a certain way. They have to cover a certain way. Regardless what people tell you, oh, you can't time the market. You can't do this. You can't do that. Yeah, right, sure.
Starting point is 00:09:19 So what we did was offer, if you donate a minimum of $20, just $20, I should have made it $50. $20 to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Central Florida, we will send you it. And here's how you do it. BGCCF.org. And by the way, we had one person give $500, a lot of $100. So whatever you want to give it, it's tax deductible. BGCCF.org.
Starting point is 00:09:46 And by the way, we are not, this is not hyperbole to tell you, this is the hour that defines Bull and bare markets. Of course, you've got to follow the stuff. You've got to be looking at the markets on a daily basis, but it's the definition of what stocks look like and how they act in bull and bare markets versus their moving averages because that's what matters most. So check that out. Again, BGCCF.org, 20 bucks. We'd like you to go more, but we'll go 20. And once you put it in, we'll see it. If you email us also, that'll make it get to you quicker. And that's that. So we appreciate it. We are in triple digits on how many people have signed.
Starting point is 00:10:35 Next, we did a little thing yesterday on no sales biotex and no sales stocks, and two of them were bought out yesterday. Well, here's another one today, up 82%. CY-T-K, something about phase three trial. The endpoint was good. Here's the amazing part about another one with no sales. Massive insider selling. And the company went public in 2004 at $103. Hit a low of $3 in 2014. It was up 50 bucks today to 83.
Starting point is 00:11:15 Nice. Another one. Up next, lots to cover. Stay tuned. I'm Gary. This is the one on the Investor's Edge. Hi, I'm Gary Kalbaum, hosted a nationally syndicated radio show Investors Edge. We're not just handsome radio people.

She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say. And she replies with a low, listen. So we sat there, listening. That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full.
Starting point is 00:14:02 Hershey's, it's your happy place. 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.
Starting point is 00:14:21 It doesn't get better than this. And welcome once again to Investors Edge. So, while the SPACs were going on, we warned you. We warned you. This was another money grab from the sleaze bags on Wall Street. and the sleaze bags putting these spacks together. Not all of them. Some of them, I'm sure, met well,
Starting point is 00:14:52 but I also know a lot of them knew what the hell they were doing and got away with it. We just want to report to you. We work, Lordstown Motors, App Harvest, Pro Terra, Virgin Orbit, Iron Net, Six Terra Technologies, Bird Global, Rockley Photonics, Starry Group, peer therapeutics, sunlight financial, Agile thought, boxed, shift technologies, near intelligence, jealousis holdings, Qualtech services, parts ID, Calera, and Noggin or Noggin all went bankrupt.
Starting point is 00:15:29 $46 billion of scummy SPACs went bankrupt. And just remember what SPACs are. When I started in this business, I started at a penny stock firm. A penny stock firm. We did things called Blind Pools. And what it is. instead of going public through an initial public offering where you got to go through the regulations and all that and all kinds of stuff back and forth in a road show and this, that, and the other thing, the SPACs are, you just merge it into, the SPACs are just a blind pool. They came up with this bull crap name, special purpose acquisition corp. Let me tell you what it really is. A special purpose bull crap acquisition corp because they merge with companies. Most of them were never going to make it. They created companies just to put in the SPACs because you only have two years. If you cannot put a company in within two years, you've got to shut down the SPAC.
Starting point is 00:16:22 And what this ended up being was a big gigantic money grab by a bunch of scumb bags, a bunch of sleaze bags, and we warn you while it was going on. $46 billion went bankrupt. I believe we work was a public company, went out, and then came back as a SPAC, and I was screaming on this show. I could not believe they were able to bring this. There was no way it was ever going to be a going concern when all was said and done.
Starting point is 00:16:47 It was a gimmie. Remember, missed the logic. And we told you there's no way. The economics of the business, forget it. The amount of debt they still had on the books. Forget it. It was like fitting a 10-pound salami and a five-pound bag. Gone.
Starting point is 00:17:03 That was only 9.4 billion scumbags. Lordstown Motors. I believe that guy was indicted. Oh, yeah. contracts for electric vehicles, yeah, that's what we do. We have big contracts. Yeah, we do. Yeah, sure, indicted. And the rest, whatever. Thus, the reason why we bring this up is because the market's up. And people get a little bit full of themselves when the market's up. And people think that, ooh, the market's up, everything's well and good. And when the market's up, it gets a little bit
Starting point is 00:17:37 frothy. And stupid things go up and sometimes go up a lot. And crazy things go up and sometimes a lot. And I just don't want you to get crazy again because guess what Wall Street's going to do if the market keeps going up. They're going to come up with more stupid stuff at ridiculous valuations that screws you big time. Spacks.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Spacks. And nobody, well, I believe one guy is going to jail. One guy got indicted and he was just sentenced. Nicola was the name of the company. NKLA. And by the way, I think that's still trading. N-K-L-A. It's at a buck.
Starting point is 00:18:19 89 cents. It was at, let's see, they had that up at $94. And the Lordstown Motor Symbol was ride. The guy was a lie in sack. I remember that he went on TV, and he just plainly lied, and he got called on the lie the next day. I don't know if anything happened to him.
Starting point is 00:18:41 So we just want you to remember this stuff. Unfortunately, there are very bad people in my business. And unfortunately, it comes from the big firms too Because they get greedy and they think they're omnipotent And they could do anything And that's a lot of these spacks came from these mega people And one of these guys, I forget his name Chammis, Chammoth Became a billionaire
Starting point is 00:19:03 And sold out What a smart guy Came out with a bunch of dog crap By the way, I shouldn't put down the dog crap And then sold out all his stock Made a billion and he doesn't do it anymore And he's into other things now. The next hot thing.
Starting point is 00:19:23 And I don't know. The guy never met him, but I know what the hell he did. Foistled a bunch of crap on you. That's why we tell you, there are people on TV that go on TV, that dollar stocks that trade 20,000 shares a day, and they own it. Oh, but they disclose it. That's scum. That's sleaze. They should not be allowed on tube.
Starting point is 00:19:43 But unfortunately, it's out there. And we just want you to be careful. The latest thing, hey, listen, I admit it. Some of these crypto stocks are going insane. They're going vertical. They got nothing behind them except the price of crypto keeps going up. God bless it. Just remember, they were on Maylocks and Pepto-Bismol 12 months ago when they were down 80% on their money.
Starting point is 00:20:12 And they have no clue why it's going up right now. Be careful. But I must tell you, dang. Mood shots. All right, so those are the SPACs. Next, quietly, the 10-year yield dropped another stick today to 3.789. The market was doing nothing all day, and in the last three minutes was the whole day. Seriously, the Dow with like three minutes ago was up 25 or 30.
Starting point is 00:20:44 The NASDAQ was down, I think, two points. Dow finished up 11, the NASDAQ only 24, but still was up 24. and what's the deal? Holy crap, 3.789 on the 10 year, down from 4.997 on October 27th, two months. Unprecedented. And amazingly, the bond market's overbought, yields are oversold, and they keep going lower on yields it up on the bond market. On the 10-year yield. It's a guarantee the Fed's going to play catch-up.
Starting point is 00:21:13 I'm not sure when the next stupid meeting is the meeting. We have a two-day meeting. We sit at a table, play paper football, then we stand up and play. space invaders and then we say you know kind of like you know anyway and that's the story why the market's doing what it's doing simple as that unbelievable unbelievable move in yields we thought a top was in place but in no way shape or form can we ever predict that wow wow wow wow wow next gold tried again today and then couldn't stick the landing, we'll let you know if it does, and you know how you'll know, because we'll tell you
Starting point is 00:21:58 we own some. I don't own any gold right now in accounts, but boy, it's teasing. The crypto was the better play, but no thanks. You know what my biggest problem with the crypto is? It trades overnight. It trades on the weekend. I've seen at night it went down 15%. Of course, I've seen going up 15%. Next. So I did this. this thing, and I said to you, don't listen to anybody predicting what's going to happen in 2024 because it's just pie in the sky. Nobody knows there's too many variables. In October, the predictions were for, holy crap, we're dead, we're dead meat. Predictions were, oh, six and seven percent, ten-year yield. Why? Because yields were going up and the market
Starting point is 00:22:47 was going down. The Russell 2000 was at yearly lows. last week of October. It's at yearly highs now. You can't predict. Maybe. That's up next. On this, the one-only investor's edge. If you've been following the news,
Starting point is 00:23:10 you know the world is dealing with a level of uncertainty that isn't going away anytime soon. Inflation pressures, global tensions, and the highest U.S. debt levels on record continue to influence markets day after day. And the result is familiar to anyone checking their retirement balances or savings accounts. Volatility has become the norm.
Starting point is 00:23:28 In times like these, people often look for ways to strengthen their financial foundation. Physical gold and silver have served that purpose throughout history. They're real assets that exist outside the digital and financial systems that tend to fluctuate during economic stress. They're not a guarantee and they're not a shortcut to wealth, but they can offer diversification when things feel unpredictable. Preserve gold is committed to helping Americans understand their options with simple educational information, including how precious metals can be held in an IRA.

One sweet, melty bite of a Hershey's bar, and suddenly I'm right back sitting on the front porch with my grandmother on a slow summer afternoon. She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say.
Starting point is 00:24:55 And she replies with a low... Listen. So we sat there. Listening. That was the first time I learned that quiet can feel full. Hershey's. It's your happy place.
Starting point is 00:25:14 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.
Starting point is 00:25:27 You're going to feel better if you talk to him. So, we always say, Don't listen to anybody who predicts the Big Ten for 2024, the number one stock to own in 2004, the best sector to own in in 2024. Here's where the market's going to be at 20204. Here's our target for 20204. Here's this, that, and the other thing for
Starting point is 00:25:49 2024. We're here to tell you it's just all bull crap. Look what's going on in the world. There's too many variables. Look at this year. October 26th, the Russell 2000 was at New Year, New Bear Market Lows. October 20, let me get the date right. My bad, it was October 27th.
Starting point is 00:26:18 New bare market lows. J.P. Morgan on October 27th was plummeting, breaking down even worse than it already was. The regional banks at the low, a thousand stocks at New York. yearly lows. You hear anybody say we'd be at 37,000 Dow at the end of the year in two months? I didn't. We shortly didn't because we don't predict. On November 1st, we thought simply the market put in a low and we'll see where it goes. There is no way in any way, shape, or form to what I would have believed. We'd make a move we moved in two months based on a crash in yields that's still going
Starting point is 00:27:14 on right now. No way. And we were already into the end of October. And we were told that beginning of October would be the lows. Anyhow, we got some emails. Come on, give us a prediction. Come on, what do you think? Give us some thought. We try to explain. We just want to interpret what's going on now and stick with it. And when wrong, be wrong, fast, and be wrong. I stopped out of two stocks, two big stocks in the last two weeks with 1% losses, just underperforming, knowing that if they break out, I'll just buy right back in. We just win wrong, be wrong fast, be wrong small, when right, try to let them run. That's all we want to do. Scan 1,500 stocks a night, 200 sectors, every country, every commodity, whatever.
Starting point is 00:28:11 And then close our eyes, hold our nose and pray, which does not work, but we still, you know. So we don't predict it because we don't know. I just do have one thought. And I'm going to mention it to you with the proviso, with the preface, that we will not act on it until we see it. And in no way, shape, or form do we see it right now?
Starting point is 00:28:37 no way, shape or form. Do we see it right now? And the reason being is there's hardly anything breaking down. You have to have things topping out and breaking down to get in trouble. And that's my little prediction. Based on what the NASDAQ did this year. I predict sometime this year, we're going to have a 15% correction, 10 to 15. That's my prediction.
Starting point is 00:29:21 That's my only one. But it's only based on the fact of how far it's gone. And valuation's a joke and people piling on each other. That's all. I just opened the bottle of Seltzer. I just knocked down some Seltzer. That's my prediction. But in no way, shape, or form is it happening now?
Starting point is 00:29:50 We're at 15,000 in 99 in NASDAQ. Maybe we go to 16. thousand before it happens maybe we go to 17,000 before it happens or maybe it doesn't happen at all because we don't predict we're just saying based on based on sometime during the year and maybe we'll have a 10 to 15% correction and still be up 30% for the year drop 10% and then rally back up I just think somewhere in there based on the law of smiles in the stock market there's a law of smiles in the stock market and there's a law of frowns in the stock market
Starting point is 00:30:35 what the heck am I talking about well it's simple when everybody's smiling the market gives the hook when everybody's frowning market tends to go up and I can tell you there's a lot of glee right now there's a lot of nothing can go wrong
Starting point is 00:31:01 the Fed engineered a soft landing yeah they haven't done squat the Fed the Fed is the doctor that you go see with a broken left arm and they put a cast on the right arm but everybody's in their little
Starting point is 00:31:27 comfy market thoughts and there's a laws of smile. You know, who's really smiling right now? The crypto. Micro strategy up. What was that up today? 10%.
Starting point is 00:31:40 Coinbase up 7%. Boom, boom, boom. Smiles are always wiped off the faces ultimately and eventually. Frowns always show up eventually. To what extent you never know. So just letting you know the law of smiles, the law of frowns,
Starting point is 00:32:04 the law of how much the NASDAs, That's been up this year. By the way, if the NASDAQ just pulled back to the last breakout of 14.5, be 4%. So I actually think there's a chance we go higher first. But who the heck knows as we enter the new year? But I must tell you the big thing that's sticking out for me is again, the 10-year yield finishes at the low of the day. And of course, that takes the dollar with it.
Starting point is 00:32:42 and there's just been a direct correlation with better markets and yields slash the dollar versus other currencies. And I'm headed to Europe January 12th. It's a holiday week. And darn, I'm going to be paying more for anything I do over there as the pound and the euro has gone up. I may be going to Budapest and I think they have their own currency there. I'm not even sure. And that's all. My prediction.
Starting point is 00:33:22 simple as that and we won't act on it unless we see it and if we see it you will know it because we got big mouths in other news got to get my timing right social security i was just reading something today is this possibly right this is what somebody writes today and i'm not sure if it's correct somebody writes by the time I am 67 over $600,000 will be paid into Social Security on my behalf. Is that possible $600,000? I guess it can be if you make a certain amount. He says that money would have been worth $1.9 million if I had gotten just a 5% return. My annual interest would have been $95,000.
Starting point is 00:34:26 but now the government is just promising me $3,075 a month at 67, which is 37,000 a year. I guess that sounds about right because the government's screwing you. Just remember, they keep telling you how important socio-curt is. It was the biggest scam perpetrated by this government on each and every one of us. All we had to do is go back in time. and instead of Social Security and creating this blob of another part of government, and you put it into an account, how to stay there, and you just 10-year bonds, and then 10 years you do it again, do it again, do it again, do it again,
Starting point is 00:35:19 my goodness, what you would have right now and not have to worry about getting paid by a system that's bankrupt because they stole all the money. Just letting you know. It's just like the other great scam the lottery. It's the greatest scam on earth. And you know what's a scam on? The poor. Because you know who wants to play the lottery the most?
Starting point is 00:35:43 The poor. They want to get out of being poor. Or lower middle class, get me out of here. So they put out this lottery, and you have a better chance of being hit by lightning at the same place, at the same time, two days in a row. And they get your money.
Starting point is 00:36:01 From the government. Up next. Other news. Whatever else. This is the one only investors' edge. Economic headlines keep shifting, but the uncertainty remains. Market volatility, rising debt, and global tensions are affecting retirement accounts and long-term savings.

She doesn't say much, just breaks the bar in half and hands me a piece. I open my mouth to say whatever a nine-year-old wants to say.
Starting point is 00:37:31 And she replies with a low, listen. So we sat there, listening. That was the first time I learned that quiet. it can feel full. Hershey's. It's your happy place. You're listening to.
Starting point is 00:37:49 What are we waiting for? Well, what are you waiting for? One, two, ready, go. Action! In the Gester's Edge. With Gary Culpa. Let's continue.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Boy, don't I sound like a little bit of a whiner today? That's okay. I wine free. Me and you. Governor Gavin Newsom of California. just signed into law to raise the minimum wage for fast food workers to $20 an hour. In other words, you've got to pay that or else. We don't give a crap how it affects you as a business.
Starting point is 00:38:58 We're the government and we can do whatever we want to do. We'll just sign into law. Well, California Pizza Hut has announced they're laying off all their delivery drivers. One month before the law goes into effect, which is 1,200 jobs eliminated overnight. Repercussions, repercussions, repercussions. Want me to continue? Because there are others. Other fast food chains have announced price hikes on the menu. Of course they will.
Starting point is 00:39:35 and just remember the highest poverty rate in the nation California the highest gas taxes in the nation California the highest state income tax in America California record homelessness
Starting point is 00:39:52 California and they keep voting in this Marxist control freak and if you watch them do a debate weeks ago double up on moron and they'll keep voting them in a moron
Starting point is 00:40:12 but I'm not done today here on the one and only Investor's Edge let's talk Joe Biden just letting you know our president is heading to vacation
Starting point is 00:40:31 today I believe he's going to Barbados or St. Bartz or something like that he just returned from vacation yesterday. Just wanted to let you know, I have nothing against vacation, but just letting you know he went on vacation and just, last but not least, our friends in Canada, what's the dude's name that runs the joint there? Trudeau? Yeah. $2,000 a month universal income. It doesn't matter how much you make. not making it up Canada
Starting point is 00:41:22 2000 per month UBI yeah 2000 a month every Canadian when you have a chance what I'd like you to do is go look at all the quotes
Starting point is 00:41:52 of a man named Thomas Jefferson a man before his time warned us of all this in the name of we're here for you now I want you to remember when anybody gets two thousand dollars a month in Canada they are paying that two thousand dollars a month a lot of people sometimes forget money I hate cliches but money does not grow on trees a
Starting point is 00:42:26 government gets all their money from the taxpayer so any money that's given The taxpayer pays. This vote buying by Marxist control freaks is getting worse and worse, and now Canada is going into the depths of hell. Oh, but Gary, what about the poor? What about it? Well, it's supposed to start by not having poor people. You're supposed to have a system. of great education from kindergarten all the way up because that's what our taxes pay for.
Starting point is 00:43:13 Great education. And as you get into the workforce, you should have low taxes, not so many regulations, so you can grow to the point where you're not poor and you're not in need. but government is set it up in so many places taxes rules regulations fees fines mandates oversight California is like 500 government departments overseeing you
Starting point is 00:43:48 and I worry that if the Marxist in our White House has his way we're next and you know me I think people need to be taken care of I believe there should be a safety net but 2000 a month for every person if you made 10 million a year you're going to get 24 grand a year hey thanks you idiot

I whip that it's masking, masking everything that's going on. I can have a GDP at 10% every quarter. Five trillion in debt. Whoever gets in next, I hope, gets it right. Trump didn't. I know you guys loved him, but he was $6,7 trillion. By the way, that's before COVID. he spent like crazy right out of the box stupid tariffs all kinds of crap and this guy here
