Now from the BizTalk Studios, here is Gary Cultbaum. And welcome once again to Investors Edge. I'm Gary Colbom, your host. A thanks for being with us today.
Starting point is 00:00:48 Glad you here, ladies and gentlemen, happy that you are listening. Last I looked at it's October 5, 2000 and 23, it would be a Thursday. hope you're having a good day as always a bunch to cover serious talk on you and everything that affects you and man oh man there's a lot affecting you on you your job the markets your money the economy and all points in between you know i've been getting a lot of emails from portland residents and every one of them is so upset with what's going on in Portland with the DA and the crime and all that stuff. I got Newsfea peeps. You're not alone. I don't know where it happened, how it happened, but you got a bunch of people that are out to protect the
Starting point is 00:01:57 criminals more than the citizens. Did you read? Did you read? about the murder in New York City. This young couple was sitting on a bench 4 a.m. They were coming from wedding. And it turns out this man was one heck of a good man, an activist,
Starting point is 00:02:23 helping out with community. And some guy walks past them and walks 20 feet past them and then starts kicking over scooters and walks back towards the man. He says, what are you looking at? He said, nothing. Everything's cool. And the guy starts screaming and yelling, chill, chill, chill, he said, just knifeed them to death.
Starting point is 00:02:44 It turns out the guy was arrested 16 times. How many times do you have to be arrested before they keep you in there? And by the way, some of the arrests were for attacking. Will it take one of these DAs for his or hers, own family to get the crap beat out of them or, God forbid, knife to death for them to recognize you're supposed to protect the citizens, not the criminals. And I'm sure you're all seeing what's going on with the shoplifting in some cities. Wow.
Starting point is 00:03:28 Unbelievable. And then the cities wonder why the companies are leaving and shutting the retail stores. If I was the owner of the retail stores, I'd walk up to the mayor and say, up, yours, kick them in the grapefruits, it's a man. Can't touch a woman if it's a woman. But I mean, that's what's going on. I just want to start with that because I've been getting a lot of emails from Portland. The good people listening to a great radio station there.
Starting point is 00:04:04 And I haven't been in Portland in a while. I loved it when I visited there a couple of times. KBNP radio. And we always thank them for, we've been on. the air with them many a moon 1410 we wish everybody well all right ladies and gentlemen with this show i remember many many years ago when i started going on fox news one of the things one of the producers says to me was never even mentioned the dollar never mentioned the currencies said why well because ratings will go down aboard a hell out of people and a lot of people and a lot of people
Starting point is 00:04:54 won't understand and you know there's a lot of things in my industry that are above my head I don't know I don't know what a quick ratio is well you know what I mean so we try to keep it to the point where we actually say to you let me simplify things but sometimes I have to go a little bit into the weeds and we just hope we explain it correctly for you to understand where we're coming from. So two things today. How markets work, we have an ability to measure sentiment in the markets. Now, what does that mean?
Starting point is 00:05:54 It's just how do the masses feel, how are they reacting to the markets? it's the best way I can put it and when these sentiment indicators go to extremes very often you get a change of complexion now what do we mean by that go to extremes well
Starting point is 00:06:19 if the market's in real bad shape if you're going through a bare market of whatever entity it may be bond stocks commodity and you keep going lower and you keep going lower and you keep going lower and you keep going lower. And then the national media starts reporting on it finally, after it's already way down, that is sentiment,
Starting point is 00:06:50 that is the mainstream media, finally getting on board to what we already know. That's what we mean. It's an extreme. Simple as that. Another way of looking at it, sentiment-wise, there is an option market. This is people betting on whether something's going to go up or down with the use of options. And what an option is, and go read up what an option is, but it just gives you the right
Starting point is 00:07:33 to buy or sell something at a certain price at a certain time. that's all. And when the buying or selling of these options go to an extreme one way, it also often is a change of complexion. One of the great extremes of all time that I've seen was 08. Everybody was worried about the financial system going to hell in a handbasket. I went to my bank and took out 25 grand in cash and put it in the safe in my house. That's how bad it got back then. And a few months later, the market bottomed.
Starting point is 00:08:27 So as you know, we've had a bond market bare market. Bonds have been sold off, interest rates have spiked. That's how it works. In case you don't know, you're buying a bond. That gives you a certain yield. That bond will go up and down. If the bond goes down, the yield goes up on anybody buying the bond at a lower price, and vice versa. So I'm setting the stage for a couple of things for you.
Starting point is 00:08:59 Because I think we had two extremes today. It does not mean the playing field will change. I just wanted to report them to you. and let's together see if things changed. So for starters, number one, the national media and journalists are now reporting about the collapse in treasury bonds, one of the worst in history.
Starting point is 00:09:32 They're now reporting it. After yields have gone from zero to five percent, they're now reporting it. How do I know? Because I see it. In fact, do you know what the Drudge report is? I don't go on it often, but it's an aggregator of news. On the right side is the first article.
Starting point is 00:09:50 Collapsing Treasury bonds now ranks among worst market crashes in history. Being reported by Bloomberg. Oh, thanks. Well, excuse me, by the markets insider, whatever the hell that is. And then underneath, Fed's bid to avoid recession tested by yields nearing a 20-year high. That's on a guy named Rich Miller Bloomberg. Really? Now you're telling us?
Starting point is 00:10:20 So we're letting you know that is going towards an extreme sentiment of the reporting. You know we used to have this thing called and we still do the front cover. Whenever somebody gets on the front cover of a mainstream magazine from the markets, It usually mean a turn. That's happened before. So we're just starting and letting you know. I'm just wondering if they're going from nothing to up to near 5% on the 10-year. The shorter term paper is 5.5.
Starting point is 00:10:56 I think one went to 5.7. Now they're reporting it. I'm wondering if we're going to get some relief in bond soon. That's all. Write that down. Your handsome and buffed host is. wondering whether that's going to be indicative of bond relief up next. What else?

Hey, this promises to be fun. Investors Edge. The last bastion of quality programming.
Starting point is 00:14:40 With Gary Coltbaum. It doesn't get better than this. So now we go to the other part. The options. We found out today that people better. on prices going down on the market spike to levels pretty much seen near terms in the market after they've already dropped so imagine we've already dropped a bunch we have highlighted for you tons and tons and tons of stuff that have
Starting point is 00:15:24 broken down all kinds of areas that have been just absolutely blasted and now they're buying the hell out of options, betting on further price decrease? Well, that is often a sign that things may turn. Sentiment. Go into an extreme. Now, you obviously need stocks set up to go higher. I'm not so sure we have that. Because as I do my scans every day, it looks like crap. today. And by the way, I thank my good friend Gil Morales, who will be on the show again real
Starting point is 00:16:13 soon. He's the one who posted it. That's how I'm able to report it to you. When he posted it, I think the Dow was down 150, NASDAQ was down 100. The Dow only finished down 9, the NASDAQ 16. Hmm, we'll see. Though the NASDAQ 100 was still down 53. That wasn't. so good. So we're just letting you know there's some sentiment coming in that all the suns bearish after a drop that often gets close, maybe marks a point. But I repeat, if you don't have good looking stuff, if you don't have things that look like they can go topside, get going. It's kind of sort of probably all for not.
Starting point is 00:17:15 We'll be watching. The market still looks like the south end of a northbound jackass. Leadership, pretty much nil. New highs, hardly any, new lows a lot. There's a few names that stick out. I can put them on one hand. And interesting enough, as I
Starting point is 00:17:40 scan while I do this radio show because we're so talented, we can do two things at once. It just looks crappy out there. I don't have much. So if things are going to get better, I don't know if this makes any sense. If they are to get better, they're going to need to get better. There's going to have to be some serious improvement in this market. Serious, because as I scan, ew. Is ew a word?
Starting point is 00:18:31 Ew? That's the best word I can come up with. Ew. So today's market wrap, Dow down 9, down 10. Was down, I should tell you how much it was down early, right? At one point today, the Dow had hit 32-941, 159-1. 159, 17. It was down 187, finished only down 10. The NASDAQ at one time today, 13087, was down 148,
Starting point is 00:19:10 finished only down 16. The NASDAQ 100 today hit 14584, 116, 13, 139, was down 192, finished only down 53. NASDAQ 100, not so good today. The socks was down 18, transport, still finished down 47. Advanced declines were a little bit negative on the New York, flat on the NASDAQ. Bond market down a wee bit on the 10-year yield. And oil prices down another buck in three quarters today, which is excellent. Interesting enough, oil stocks, a bunch of them were up to.
Starting point is 00:19:56 even though oil prices came down. But I do have to repeat. With me talking the sentiment as I do my scans, ew, it is just ugly out there. And just remember sentiment. They call sentiment a secondary indicator. And it is. Primary is price and pattern.
Starting point is 00:20:26 And we read that very well. So I'm not willing to say, hey everything's great and as I do scan more and more stocks were breaking down today so we did get a little bit of a kick save
Starting point is 00:20:45 into the end of the day still just ew and just so you know soon we head into earnings season in a meaningful fashion I heard somebody predict good earnings today
Starting point is 00:21:00 I love people who predict Do you ever hear us say, oh, we think earnings are going to be, no. You know, we do say, we'll wait for them to come out, we'll see who beats the pants off of earnings reports and have the strongest earnings and revenue growth with the best reactions. Measure the market and hoping it's good and see what we can do from there. And find those companies that are growing their business way better than everybody else. and avoid the stink shops.
Starting point is 00:21:37 And boy, there's some stink shops. Man, oh man, there's some stink shops. So that's how we roll. Little news of the day. A little comedy act of the day. And of course, coming out of the White House. It's the funny, it's sad, actually. Joe Biden's going to build a wall.
Starting point is 00:22:03 So they spent two plus years making fun and having the pundits out there making fun of walls. Joe Biden's going to build a wall. No, not kidding. I'm not making it up. He's putting up a wall. They blasted Trump for a wall,
Starting point is 00:22:23 made fun of his wall, and Trump BSed on the wall too about how much got done. But now Joe Biden is putting up a wall. It's so funny to watch the worst president of all all time. Oh, but Gary, the job market, the GD. There's so many more things you can put into it.
Starting point is 00:22:48 He has taken over the last guy as the worst president of all time. Gary, Donald Trump, had great policy. He's taken over him as the worst president of all time. To me, there's plenty of components to that. And that's okay. By the way, I got some emails from Trump people. That'll be up next. That's my music. This is the one only investor's edge. Guys, it's no use putting it off. The best time for an underwear refresh is now.

Starting point is 00:25:27 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 I have been getting emails from people who are in Trump's camp.
Starting point is 00:25:45 And the good news is everybody's being respectful of the fact that I've been ripping them a little bit. Again, I respect all opinions out there. won't stand in the way of your opinions. Hopefully you don't stand in my way. We lost all love and affection. We've lost all love and affection for any of these people. That's all. It doesn't make us bad people.
Starting point is 00:26:14 But they've proven us right. They've proven us right. I was on with Stuart Varney today, and I said that what they've been able to do. to do is make 9 billion of our tax dollars a footnote. Joe Biden is forgiving $9 billion of student loans. Just so you know, he doesn't forgive it, it's us. It's the taxpayer. And they've made $9 billion a footnote. And do you know what $9 billion represents less than the debt we are going to put in for the next two days? Joe Biden now is averaging $5 billion a day added to our debt.
Starting point is 00:27:00 debt, he should be impeached for that. If I was in the House right now, if I was in that position, I would file articles of impeachment on his $2 trillion of debt. That's irresponsible buffoonery. He should not be the president. Janet Yellen should not be our Treasury Secretary. She's not protecting our Treasury. She sucks. She's a horror show. What else? in the news. Well, Disney may be listening to this radio show. Because
Starting point is 00:27:45 we said a while ago how many times we've been on this show saying we're amazed that their numbers of people that show up to the parks have stayed so big they've been falling off recently
Starting point is 00:28:04 though. That if you add up the cost, the car, For Disney, they're... Wow! Disney is now slashing the price of children's tickets to as low as $50 at its domestic-themed parks. As little as $50 each for Disneyland and Disney World. Now, only right now can be used between January 8th and March 10th, but it's for children 3 to 9. And I can promise you there's a lot of 3 to 9.
Starting point is 00:28:47 there. You know what this means? The dye has been cast. Disney's going to do some more lowering of prices going forward. Bob Eiger warned. He said that they went too far. Now, to what extent I don't know, but I expect price cuts across the board. and I think it's a smart move and a wise move while they hike their streaming. By the way, everybody's hiking the prices on streaming right now. Everybody's hiking their prices on streaming. What else in the news I had mentioned to you those extremes?
Starting point is 00:29:35 Right? Well, here's another one. You're ready for this one that one just will make me vomit? Because you know what we've been talking about forever? right? Wall Street Journal. A gentleman by the name of Greg Ip. IP. He's a journalist. Headline.
Starting point is 00:29:58 Rising interest rates mean deficits finally matter. Investors ignored deficits when inflation was low. Now they are paying attention and getting worried. Well, obviously, Mr. Ipp hasn't been listening to this show. But this is what we mean by now they're reporting the crap. There is no greater crisis. There is no worse train coming down the track
Starting point is 00:30:32 than what these politicians have done with our treasure. And now it's going to be in fast motion. No longer is the train Amtrak. It's not an Amtrak train anymore the amount of debt and deficit. You know what it is? I'm putting up the word because I went to Japan. I believe it's called the Shikansen.
Starting point is 00:31:04 That's their bullet train. And by the way, it was great. Our debt is a bullet train going north. Skyrocketed that fast. And I pray. Well, I don't pray for this. There are other things like. I hope you just have to wonder, do yields have to go to 10% to account for this sickness?
Starting point is 00:31:42 And when I mean sickness, these people in D.C. Remember, economics 101, 102 and 103, the more debt an entity has, the more lenders want to be paid and yield to account for that debt. It's simple as that. economics 101 i'm watching people on they all got it wrong they're all saying stuff oh inflation this inflation i got news for you you know what else they don't tell you about inflation that we tell you you see the rate of inflation's come down but prices haven't remember if the price of something inflation when inflation was out of hand went from two bucks to 220 went up 10 percent but now this year it's only up 3%. Oh, it's going to be 220 something. So inflation is still up there.
Starting point is 00:32:43 So we'll see. You know where we stand. By the way, when we talk to about how narrow the market has been, you ready? The Russell 2000 this year is down 1.7%. The Dow is down 1 tenth of a percent. The mid-cap 400 is only up 2 tenths of a percent. the NASDAQ's up 26.3%. You take out those seven names and the NASDAQ is in the mid-single digits. And I'm not so sure it's that high. That's how narrow it's been. And that's why, let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen,
Starting point is 00:33:33 I watch those seven stocks. They are right at the top of my screen like a hawk. Because if they ever take them out, look out. And let me give you a little name and a little number. FNGS, you know what that is? It's the Fang Index they follow. It's 32 and a quarter. If it breaks 31, major top in place.
Starting point is 00:34:00 If it breaks 31 major top in place. And it's held up like a rock in comparison. It's still not about 11% from the highs. But in comparison with the average stock, It's a tiptoe through the tulips. Stay tuned. What are the things I'm seeing today? I have to tell you.
Starting point is 00:34:29 One of the most hyped and touted area of the market a year ago was the solars. They crashed. The solar stocks have crashed. And that's why we always tell you, it's okay to listen to hype. Pay attention to your stocks. That's how it goes. We're also watching retail. acting continuously horrible.
Starting point is 00:34:54 And today they ripped the stuffings out of the auto dealers. Things like auto nation, lithium, lithium motors, Penske Motors, Group 1 auto, big top in place. So the auto dealers under pressure. And I'm hearing things like trouble at the auto dealers. By the way, do you know use cars are almost as expensive? I was reading, oh, excuse me, that was the houses. That houses already here have almost higher price than new ones.
Starting point is 00:35:41 It's quite the insanity. Quite the distortions brought to you by a guy named Jay Powell, who still has his job, which is quite amazing. Up next, this, that, and the other thing. of whatever else. This is the one only investor's edge. Guys, it's no use putting it off. The best time for an underwear refresh is now.
