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 Colbom, your host.
A thanks of being with us today.
Glad you're here, ladies and gentlemen, happy that you are listening.
It's March 20th.
It's Wednesday.
It is 2024.
I do believe as I am clicking away as I speak
to you, which is kind of sort of not easy.
Anyway, don't do two things at once, by the way.
The other day, I was about to do TV, and I decided to change my tire as I was walking down
the stairs, and I was walking down the stairs.
I thought it was at the bottom, and I was two steps above, and guess what happened?
Boom!
And let me just say, I got a trolley horse just north of my butt, or south of my butt.
And I'm still feeling it.
Hey, let's go serious.
Let's go serious.
Let's go right into it.
Let's not screw around because something happened today that stood out for me that I don't think anybody else would report,
but I look at things a couple of ways when I look at markets.
now it's only one day
in case you don't know
and I'll introduce ourselves in a few minutes
today was
the Fed Day
we get every six weeks
from somebody as you know
we are no fan
we are no fans of his
in any way
shape or form
we believe
he thinks he's God
we believe he distorted things
we believed he caused the inflation, and the reason he doesn't get blamed is because he's not a politician, he's not elected, so you've got to go after the elected official.
But when you printed $9 trillion, but he had to because of COVID, whatever, whatever.
The only thing that matters to us is outcome.
That's it.
The only thing that matters to us is outcome.
when we do our work every night in order to find leading stocks and leading groups,
outcome, we try to drive a wedge between everybody yapping, everybody talking, and just what the market's doing.
and that's it
so whatever
Jay Powell said today
and it doesn't matter
he didn't move any mountains
he kept rates the same
he said some things
that to me
were no big deal in any way
shape or form
I think it was more or less
of something to the effect
of
yeah we think we can
and we think we're going
to, but we'll see
and we'll still
need to see more
information as it comes
in
and as the data
comes in, we'll make the moves
the Dow is up a
percent
and
when I say 1%
there are days
where I say 1%, but there are days
I say, yeah it was a big
1%.
The
S&P wasn't even up 1%.
The NASDAQ, which is always do a little bit better, about 1.2.
But, may I throw out the butt?
I'm going to start with by telling you, do you know what I follow?
We follow the inverse ETF charts.
These are the charts that go the opposite of what the market does.
they have been in bare markets for about the last year,
except they rallied in the July to end of October period
when the market was crapping out from the July to end of October period.
That was when the Russell 2000 was at bare market lows.
Well, they look like they're breaking down again.
Now, how would they be breaking down again?
well because the indices are trying to break out again.
And what we mean by that is, well, let's see.
Let's go to the S&P, and the S&P has been a little bit on the range bound over the last few weeks,
but an ascending kind of range bound.
It broke above it today.
Well, guess what the S-H would do, which is the inverse that broke down below.
We're not reporting bad news, ladies and gentlemen.
Then you got the NASDAQ 100, which we're really a little bit.
I'll explain the second.
Anyway, that held the 21 day is not at new highs,
but then I can go look at the PSQ.
That is the inverse.
And by the way, we're not talking about the doubles and the triples.
We're talking singles.
And that looks like it's about to break down to the down.
to the downside, which means, you got it.
That's what happened today, off of J. Powell.
And directly off of J. Powell.
There was nothing else going on.
Also, the big banks.
We have been stating, for the record, the big banks have been acting well.
They went into another new high today, at the close today.
the regional banks which have been dead
they popped a little
still weak but popped
the Russell 2000
which has been
a pain in the you know what
had a good day to know
that was up 2% why
oh I don't know it just seems
whenever they think looser money is coming
there goes
the Russell 2000
I'm thinking with the inverse of the
Russell 2000 I think it's TD
WN? Let me see. No, that was wrong. That's Taiwan. I'll figure it out in a second. We just wanted to start the show by saying the inverse ETFs for the big indices. They look to be breaking down. That's all I know. Now there's this rule of thumb in the markets, which we don't live by, but we want to let you know that. They keep telling us, whenever the market,
market moves up on Fed Day, it moves down the next day. Whenever the market moves down on Fed
day, it moves up the next day. I don't know. We'll worry about that tomorrow, and we don't care.
We're just letting you know it was an excellent day to day. It was just an excellent day today.
It was an excellent day to day when all was said and done. They even rallied up the semis,
which by the way, still has its issues.
By the way, Russell 2000 inverses the RWM.
I was close.
And that looks like it wants the breakdown also.
So we may get another leg up as we move forward.
We may.
We take it day by day.
We'll see how it goes.
And then you know I've complained to you about a stock called MicronTech.
massive losses unbelievably massive losses as the stock is held up they just reported earnings
micron the stock today closed at 96 it's at 106 in the aftermarket up 10 they made money they raised
revenue there is a god so i'm just letting you know that ain't gonna hurt because just remember the semis
Have been in trouble.
By the way, they were expected to lose 25 cents.
They came in with 42 cents a share earnings.
They expected 5.35 billion in revenue.
They did 5.82.
Going forward, they see better than estimates also.
We'll see how that goes.
Cool.
When a crappy one acts well, maybe the semis can get going again.
Remember, you still have that March 8th.
that gargantuan, ugly, icky, yucky reversal.
We'll see what Tamara brings.
I already scanned.
I scanned everything that trades 500,000 shares and up to the tippy top.
I'm finding Royal Caribbean breaking out.
This is I found at the close today.
Draft Kings breaking out.
I'm finding some new stuff.
We'll see if we can find the last.
lot more stuff. Up next, I'm Gary. This is the one only Investors Edge. Hi, I'm Gary

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

Investors Edge.
The last bastion of quality programming.
With Gary Coltbaum.
It doesn't get better than this.
And welcome once again to Investors Edge.
Thanks for joining us today.
This is serious talk on you and everything that affects you.
The markets, the economy, jobs, unemployment, taxes, deficit, spending, scam, shams, corrupt.
You name it. We cover it. I saw today they had somebody on Capitol Hill
ripping on the Bidens and Hunter Biden. The Republicans, they're just bad messaging. He was
talking about how Joe Biden knew everything, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And of course,
the Republicans say yes, the Democrats say, no, just remember none of them give a crap about
you. I want you to not forget that. If the Democrats found out today,
a Swiss bank account
and they found out it was Joe Biden's
and they found out it came through Hunter Biden
which came through all kinds
and nefarious places
they would hide it
they would not report it
remember they don't give a crap about you
if the Republicans found it on their guy
they would not report it
that is what's going on
they are not working for us we are working for them
we are nothing but a slush fun.
And if 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 on X,
you should check out X and put our name in.
And that's that.
So I just wanted to start with the markets today
because I have to tell you today
was a really good day.
1%, but a really good day.
Technically,
remember,
What we do deal with is not just the numbers out of the indices, but what ability the market has to do what.
That's what we're always looking for.
What ability does the market have to do what?
And today, I have to tell you, it's been rough going as of late.
Gaps to the upside failing.
breakouts failing.
The semiconductor issues, big time.
I think it probably changed today.
I use the word probably because we don't guarantee anything and we can't guarantee anything.
But as I do my scans, I'm just making note of some things that are important, at least to me,
when it comes to the financials, a better bid on the semis, the micron news after the close,
and video and how it finished
Microsoft on how it finished
even though I just got stopped out of it a little bit
not going to change my world
and as I stated from the get-go
the inverse
ETFs look like they want to break down from here
which means
market wants to go topside
how far I don't know
where I don't know what the heck I don't know
but we'll take it for whatever it's
and this was all on Jay Powell today.
Whatever the market believed,
because again, let me repeat,
I didn't see anything.
They didn't do anything.
He just talked.
And I will tell you,
I consider myself pretty smart.
I don't understand half the crap, he says.
I mean, I can bore you to death here.
If you look at the incoming inflation data
we have for genuine family,
I think very broadly that suggests
that we were right to wait until we're more confident.
Okay, that's a market mover.
We are not getting ready to.
We haven't proposed.
We haven't come to a conclusion that we should propose
or anything like that that Congress
consider legislation to authorize the digital dollar.
Is that market mover?
No.
On the balance sheet, that's their printing money.
I don't want you to give a specific number
because we haven't made an agreement of decision.
Is that a market mover?
No.
No.
But we do believe there were some money quotes.
One of them, we believe that our policy rate
is likely at its peak for this time in the cycle.
That's one.
The general sense of the committee is that it'll be appropriate to slow the pace of runoff
fairly soon.
You know what runoff is?
That they printed to $9 trillion and they've been letting it run off.
In other words, whatever they bought, let them mature.
Slow that down.
Market likes that.
That's like a little money quote.
But nothing for me was earth-shaking to do what the market did.
But guess what?
I don't care.
I just love what the market did and we'll act accordingly.
Gold, which broke out recently, and I believe I'm pretty sure we've been telling you how nice it's being acting after going up and settling down.
Made a move today.
And why?
Because the market deemed easier money when the market deems easier money, the dollar weakens.
Market goes up.
Gold goes up.
Commodities go up.
Life is good again.
And that's what happened today.
The clients finish good, up-down volume finish good.
New highs finally out beat new lows on the NASDAQ,
which is not saying much, I must say.
But that's good news.
Transports are up 280.
I mentioned the Russell and just good tone.
We may have a smorgas board here.
Well, we hope for the next couple of months.
Not sure.
Not sure.
And we still have to be a little careful why.
got earnings are going to come out soon. And then there's the real world. What do we mean by
the world, real world? Well, it's pretty simple. Oh, by the way, five below reported earnings,
if you want to know what we mean by that. Five below, well, is gone from 208 to 183 in the aftermarket.
So that's going below. There's still the market. And the 10-year yield was performed admirably
today off of whatever Powell said, it came down, that's what the market want to see. But leave no doubt.
Blanket statement. Great reaction day. Great reaction by Micron. That's not going to hurt. And just remember, the
semiconductors were under some pretty serious distribution. And Micron's been the poster child of,
how the hell is that stock going up? Anything else? Crypto? Just when I think it's over and done.
That bounced even though it's still got this Eiffel Tower look to it
But I think I told you that yesterday the bit of I was thinking of shorting it and then I realized wait a man I can't short it moves a hundred 200 bucks overnight
While I'm sleeping I'm gonna be short and I can't trade it
And I'm talking about the things that represent crypto that cha that trade on the market
Can't do that and the beat goes on
didn't see much else today
there was weakness in medicals
weakness in staples
housing got better
housing's been a little bit weak
but I got to tell you when I did my scans
just by the way
we're not telling you to buy cell short a cover
we're just letting you know
D.R. Horton
looks like it wants to break out
Pulti Holmes looks like it wants to break out
they haven't yet
just letting you know
KB Holmes
KBH.
Looks like that wants to break out, so maybe that's a little bit of that's going on again.
Up next.
A warning on Chipotle.
Not the food, the stock.

He's got to be pleased with that.
The crowd is just on its feet here.
He's a Cinderella boy.
With Gary Colbomb.
It comes highly recommended.
You're going to feel better if you talk to.
So yesterday on the show
I almost lost it on the show yesterday
I was talking about my father
I almost did
I think that would have been the
well yeah just about the first or second time
and I guess a lot of you
heard me almost
got a lot of emails from you guys
just you're all cool thank you
I appreciate the emails
it's um
I've never felt more important in my life
I've got a wife two kids
but my father being
92 and
you know
you know
it's very tough
but I must state for the record
I'm not the champ in all this
it's my brother I'm not champ
He's up there 24-7.
I fly up as often as I can.
And my mom, unbelievable, she cooks from cleans, and she's got issues.
92 and 90.
And they just had to hear their friend of 95 years old died.
And the girl who lived with the 95-year-old wants to work for my parents,
and my parents loved her, and she loves them, and they refuse.
they are not changing their lifestyle, even though it's necessary, even though I said I would pay for it.
And let me just tell you something.
It's expensive.
I mean expensive.
I said I pay for it.
Don't worry.
Nope.
What is she going to do for us?
I wake up, I get dressed, I take a shower.
I sit in the chair.
I watch TV.
I have breakfast.
I have lunch.
I have dinner.
I walk in the hallways, I go outside if it's nice.
What is she going to do for me?
How do you argue that logic?
So my father's saving me a hell of a lot of money.
Anyway, thank you.
And I feel like an ass, even being in Florida while they are up in New Jersey.
Anyway, again, thank you.
I did a little money show half hour today, webcast type of thing.
They're going to send it to me, and I'll post it, but it'll be all ready.
you know market's already passed market had a big afternoon probably going to go higher too
off of this and off of micron i think the micron thing may be of import
now the cues are up a quarter percent in the aftermarket and nVIDE is up a few bucks
after being kind of weak all day but that was uh that was one heck of a finish on the market
Hey, in the news
So we're really careful with our words
You know, they've been calling Trump a dictator
And if he wins and he'd be a dictator
Call him all kinds of things
And you know, I can't stand the guy
I am so depressed that it's a choice between Trump and Biden
But of course we'll live who, you know, there's nothing we can do
Whoever wins wins
But they call Trump a dictator
Let me tell you what Biden is now coming up with.
He just announced climate rules.
I'll tell you about control freaks.
Rules, regulations, fees, fines, mandates, taxes, executive orders,
and things we don't know until afterwards.
Announces climate rules to phase out gas cars
and make sure majority of vehicles sold by 2032 or electric or hybrid.
What's the definition of a dictator?
You know, it doesn't have to be somebody who murders a bunch of people.
What's the definition of a dictator?
One who dictates.
And we can't do crap about it.
What if we don't want electric vehicles?
No, you have to have it.
Tough crap.
Screw you.
Hmm
drastic climate regulations Wednesday
To phase out gas cars
I don't even know what to say
I
You know I'm careful with my words
But this guy sucks
I tell it to his face too
Remember I don't care that
Somebody's a president or vice president
I'll tell to the face
By the way
They're worried about climate
Do you know what
Is put into
Making batteries
And do you know about insurance
For electric vehicles
And how much
weight electric vehicles have versus regular and the cost of replacement of tires.
You may want to look into that and may get pissed off about this new rule from Biden.
I also saw him today again just lie out as it, but, I mean, just lie.
No, biggie, just lie.
I cut the debt.
I cut the deficits.
And the media just sits there, supine.
Next, California.
I just want to make sure, you know, I didn't even know this was in effect.
Do you know they have an exit tax in California?
So they raise taxes like crazy.
There's like almost a 14% annual income tax in California.
There's a gargantuan gas tax.
Do you know they have an exit tax?
I didn't know that.
It's a one-time tax that must be paid by businesses and individuals
who leave California.
So when you leave, they also give you a big colonoscopy.
It's sick.
And I'm thinking to myself,
why would anybody move there knowing what they're doing there?
You can check in, but you can't check out.
Oh, and don't worry, it's only for the wealthy.
But the wealthy pay all the taxes.
Because they're just giving away freebies to everybody else.
but they cut out real estate.
Oh, you know why?
Because the lobby paid a crapload of money to the governor and the politicians.
No, you can't do real estate.
I had no idea.
Boy, some of these states, I mean, just Marxist control freakism like I've never seen.
I read that today.
In the news, even more interesting, an appeals court freezes Texas law allowing
police-the-rest migrants.
So Texas came out with a law.
We can't keep doing this.
And they're coming in illegally.
By the law, they are coming in illegally.
So we've got to stop this.
And the appeals court came and said, no, you can't.
Screw you.
We don't care.
Which will guarantee more people dying, crossing rivers,
going in trucks and sitting in the back while they die of heat.
Kids dying.
That's not being reported.
You know that.
Only on the Trump it was.
And Mexico.
And this is where we need a strong president.
You know, Mexico says, if a Mexican comes into this country illegally and we deport them,
Mexico is going to send them right back.
That's what the Mexican government said.
So I come to the thought process, they think Joe Biden's a wuss.
They think Joe Biden is a wimp or, oh, they know Joe Biden just wants more and more people here.
Let's call him migrants.
Mexico said screw you this country.
Mexico.
By the way, they're a biggest trading partner,
which takes me to end the news.
Do you know Kevin Johnson is?
He sucker punched somebody, and the person died.
The death was ruled a homicide.
It was a misdemeanor assault charge.
He's already out, no bail.
Because in New York City,
Intent?
Up next.
Little more news.
We'll close it up.
I'm Gary.

Action!
In the Gester's Edge.
With Gary Culpa.
So I guess the moral of that story is don't be murdered in New York City.
In the news is Chipotle.
Just a warning shot.
Just a little warning.
Amazingly, and I don't think I've ever seen.
seen this. Chipotle announced a 50 for one split. I don't think I've ever seen that.
50. Now, they have let the stock. It was 3,000 bucks at the open today. It was 2,800 before the open, when it opened, it was 3,000. Stock is done very well throughout the years, as they kept opening more and more Chipotle's. By the way, I just saw their opening a new one here,
within a mile and a half, two miles of another one,
and it's a drive-thru.
I've never seen a Chipotle drive-thru.
My problem with Chipotle,
it's a different taste every time you're there.
One time it's spicier, the next, whatever,
but it's pretty damn good, I must say.
Back to the splits.
So it used to be the norm in our markets were to have stock splits.
Stock split, stock split.
You get too high stock split.
The theory by the companies was, well, it's too high a price for individuals and things like that.
I don't know exactly when the transition happened, but people stopped stock splitting to the point where Chipotle 3,000, booking holdings, 3,500.
I guess they decided to follow Berkshire.
and there's just a lot of stocks that are now five we never used to see stocks at $500
you know they would get to $2,300 and split two for one it were two for one splits
every now and then a three for one Chipotle with a 50 to one and we just told our peeps in
the morning be careful about buying this here and so far that was okay it's correct because
it really was opening and it was
3,023 right near the open,
finished at 2895.
We're just letting you know,
there's now, nothing changes in the market cap dynamic.
One share becomes 50 shares.
Price gets divided by 50.
You have the same dollar amount,
all things being equal,
if there are no changes.
But we're just letting you know it's going from 27 million shares outstanding to over a billion.
In my brain and in my thought process and in my back testing, big splits, they haven't been good for the stock in the past.
I've seen 10 for one splits haven't been good for the stock.
The one stock I believe that there was no issue with a bigger split was Apple.
I'm not sure when they did it, but I think they did a 7 for 1 split.
I think it was 7 for 1.
And of course, Apple kept doing what it was doing.
So just words to the Ys in case you're looking at it, may want to let that sucker settle down.
And just, you know, well run.
I know they had one issue on safety.
in the past. Didn't they have an issue with people getting ill or something like that and the stock got hit?
But man, it's been performing. It came out of its bare market like everything else at the beginning of November.
And it's up about 40% since beginning of November, culminating with today.
Just be careful. I'd be careful. We'll see how it goes. And we'll keep an eye on that because we're always, always
Always thinking and remembering.
And this one will go in the file manager.
That's how we remembered the Apple 7 to 1 split
that came out of my brain out of nowhere a second ago.
This one will be a big standout.
50 to 1.
I would have only done a 10-for-one if I was them,
if they wanted a split.
Get it down to 300.
But I don't run the joint.
Wish I did.
I gather the CO is doing pretty damn well.
and man oh man to be able to find something like that that becomes so successful and it's something you see
and pretty much understand you ever going to chippoile they don't like sell a lot of things
burritos and bowls chicken beef rice black beans veggies veggies guac anything else
It's about it, right?
And they have these goofy sodas they sell.
I think that's about all they do.
Have they added anything else?
I don't think so.
I usually get the double chicken bowl brown rice with the veggies and the corn.
They have the corn and the lettuce.
With the mild.
I like the mild.
Even though I love spice, but for them I like the mild.
Anyway, that is my thought process on a 54-1 stock split.
Back on the market.
I'm always careful with my words.
I love today's action.
I haven't said that in a while.
I would have been in hope that it happened a few weeks from now.
Let the market do a little bit more.
I'm not so sure the market wants to wait.
Not so sure the market wants to wait.
I'll know a lot more.
I've already scanned and I'll have about 200 names to go over again.
Yeah, 200.
And then I will narrow it down.
on whatever I want to add
and we'll be doing some adding
and some subtracting also
and some crying over anything we sold
that's now higher.
Now we never cry.
We learn.
That's all we want to do.
Just keep learning.
And close our eyes, hold our nose and pray.
Hey, tomorrow we'll be on with Stuart Varney.
