Speaker 1: This episode is brought to you by P and C Bank.
Speaker 1: A lot of people think podcasts about work are boring,
Speaker 1: and sure they definitely can be, but understanding of professionals
Speaker 1: routine shows us how they achieve their success little by little,
Speaker 1: day after day. It's like banking with P and C Bank.
Speaker 1: It might seem boring to save, plan and make calculated
Speaker 1: decisions with your bank, but keeping your money boring is
Speaker 1: what helps you live a more happily fulfilled life. P
Speaker 1: and C Bank Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty five. Brilliantly
Speaker 1: Boring since eighteen sixty five is a service mark of
Speaker 1: the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc. P and C Bank
Speaker 1: National Association Member FDIC.
Speaker 2: Tim Cook, there's some speculation that he may be replaced,
Speaker 2: but is it? Okay, So first let's talk about that,
Speaker 2: and then let's talk about Apple as a whole, because
Speaker 2: chat GBT still bullsh or Apple.
Speaker 1: You know, congrats, congrats to use of making that headline
Speaker 1: in thank you.
Speaker 2: Okay, So let's talk about the first thing of you
Speaker 2: think that Tim Cook is really going to get fired?
Speaker 3: I don't, okay, even in that, So let's take the
Speaker 3: sensationalism out of it. Because even though I brought up
Speaker 3: that he should be replaced, I said he should go
Speaker 3: to chairman.
Speaker 4: If he's considering stepping down.
Speaker 3: And now once again I've been saying the last four weeks,
Speaker 3: and I'll continue. Tim Cook, Timothy D. Cook, I sincerely
Speaker 3: apologized because I did not know the fight you were
Speaker 3: fighting that was stopping you from getting to the AI
Speaker 3: that you needed. If he's stepping down as the ruler
Speaker 3: of one of the most powerful tech companies of all time,
Speaker 3: what would make you step down? So you can either
Speaker 3: elect to be removed from the seat by your own volition,
Speaker 3: or there may be some forces that may want to
Speaker 3: get you fired. Michael Jordan, despite what he wants to
Speaker 3: come back and play for seven, it was some other
Speaker 3: forces that didn't allow.
Speaker 4: It to hap. Tom Brady wanted to keep playing for
Speaker 4: the Patriots.
Speaker 3: But then there's bigger forces in that program upstairs that
Speaker 3: will allow you to not continue to go forward. I
Speaker 3: will leave it at that. I'll let Aaron Andrew ross
Speaker 3: Ork can tell that story. In three or four years. Now,
Speaker 3: you're rushing for succession planning. So if they're being blocked,
Speaker 3: shout out to everyone in HQ at Apple. If you're
Speaker 3: being gently blocked from acquiring to LLM to give you
Speaker 3: a lead advantage and timing because they have the cash
Speaker 3: on hand. And I keep saying that Microsoft's partnership idea,
Speaker 3: what's supposed to be Apple's, just like Stargate was supposed
Speaker 3: to be Microsoft's. So new, but different regimes come into place,
Speaker 3: and now different people get selected for different positions to
Speaker 3: do certain things Stargate, this will go to Larry Microsoft.
Speaker 3: You still have Open the Air. We're gonna find other ways,
Speaker 3: so you guys to work together. I think he's been
Speaker 3: thwarted from what I was told from acquiring and LLM,
Speaker 3: and given some of the geopolitical stuff, he is considering
Speaker 3: resignation in lieu of those issues.
Speaker 4: How will the stock perform? The stock will still be okay.
Speaker 3: I haven't removed it out of two Tech two index,
Speaker 3: and I probably won't until twenty thirty four. Don't love
Speaker 3: the successes that they have he has in place, but
Speaker 3: he would be a good executive.
Speaker 4: I care more about the operation side.
Speaker 3: And how many other things that they will be thwarted
Speaker 3: from investing in. Once again, they have the cash on
Speaker 3: hand to do the deal with open Ai. They were
Speaker 3: a blocked from doing it, so the stock will be fine.
Speaker 3: I do think Tim Cook will step down in the
Speaker 3: next year and a half two years, but the timing
Speaker 3: of when he leaves is going to matter. You just
Speaker 3: can't up and leave because you're upset. That's not how
Speaker 3: big business works. It's never has worked that way, never
Speaker 3: has worked a way. So they need a clear succession
Speaker 3: plan just for his own safety because of how important
Speaker 3: that company is politically. You can't just have upheaval in
Speaker 3: a publicly traded company, which then may look my presidency
Speaker 3: look bad.
Speaker 4: Doesn't work that way. But what do I know.
Speaker 3: I was just the person that said that he just
Speaker 3: stepped down. If I made you money, please put yes
Speaker 3: in chat.
Speaker 1: So we still got Apple is still part of the portfolio.
Speaker 1: It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 4: Will it be?
Speaker 1: You know? I think we're looking at it from the
Speaker 1: standpoint of like, this was the leader of all the companies.
Speaker 1: This was the market mover, and we have literally watched it.
Speaker 1: It passed as a market mover, right, But the way
Speaker 1: we talk about in video and how it's moved and
Speaker 1: it's innovation and how it's vital to the future. We
Speaker 1: looked at this company the same way, and so I
Speaker 1: guess it's a bit of I don't know if we
Speaker 1: want to call it disappointment, but it's a bit of like, hey, what,
Speaker 1: what's what's happened? What's the next thing? How are we
Speaker 1: going to be a player in this race going forward?
Speaker 1: Because you can see it even if you look at
Speaker 1: the market caps of the companies that are catching up
Speaker 1: to it. Yeah, I mean Google's right there, Google's right there. Amazon.
Speaker 1: Somebody just asked me if I'm still big on Amazon.
Speaker 1: Of course I'm always be big on Amazon. You don't
Speaker 1: have to ask that question. It's having its own consolidation.
Speaker 1: I was looking at the charge that it opened the
Speaker 1: year at two twenty seven and it's here now at
Speaker 1: two nineteen. With all of the run that AI and
Speaker 1: technology has had, it's still has been kind of just
Speaker 1: sitting there. So the way we talk about Apple, I mean,
Speaker 1: Amazon could be in this category, but we understand where
Speaker 1: it's headed in terms of an innovation. Right when we
Speaker 1: talked about data sentence, we saw them do that. When
Speaker 1: it was time for them to invest in a company.
Speaker 1: We saw them give billion dollars to Anthropic and Claude.
Speaker 1: So they're part of it. We just haven't seen the
Speaker 1: same type of situations with Apple, but.
Speaker 4: They'll still be They'll still be top seven.
Speaker 3: And also to to the audience who's listening, I want
Speaker 3: you to stop taking my amazing analysis and turning it
Speaker 3: into a clipped up piece that I hate something when
Speaker 3: I'm giving you detailed analysis.
Speaker 4: Other entrepreneurs have went through this. Mark Zuckerberg went through
Speaker 4: this with light coorin.
Speaker 3: People forget in terms of the adoption of crypto into
Speaker 3: a company on balance sheet after Jack Oh, Mark was
Speaker 3: one of the first ones is fighting for it. It
Speaker 3: was it called Libra what was it called lib and
Speaker 3: it got blocked the acquisition of TikTok. We think that
Speaker 3: we think about XRP. I think it's a great asset.
Speaker 3: My stands on that has not changed. I think they
Speaker 3: may they maybe four Oh. You know what also to
Speaker 3: a good way to tell how well the asset is
Speaker 3: going to do and what the institutions have planned for
Speaker 3: it is to look at the margin price of the future.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you brought the separate shot for one contract
Speaker 3: on the features market, Charles Schwab. It's two hundred and
Speaker 3: thirty one thousand dollars for one bitcoin future that you
Speaker 3: can hold for thirty days. If you look at ethereum
Speaker 3: one hundred and five thousand dollars and seven hundred and
Speaker 3: ninety eight dollars for one contract. Historically the VICS was
Speaker 3: the most priceiest asset, and I think that's at around
Speaker 3: nineteen thousand.
Speaker 4: But if you want to know how.
Speaker 3: Well an asset is going to do, look at the
Speaker 3: margin price of the future. Your homework assignment for the
Speaker 3: night is when XRP futures are available to be traded
Speaker 3: on the futures market, what is the margin.
Speaker 1: Price supposed to be. So that's a quick little gym
Speaker 1: lesson back to the homework assignments.
Speaker 4: Got to get back to.
Speaker 3: The homework dows seventeen thousand NASDAK is thirty five thousand
Speaker 3: per contracts if you if you're swing trading it. But
Speaker 3: once again, Bitcoin is two hundred and thirty one thousand
Speaker 3: dollars and some change for every contract crew is ten
Speaker 3: thousand in comparison. So that will tell you not only
Speaker 3: the validity but what the institutions believe that the prices
Speaker 3: will do long term homework. Back to the old format
Speaker 3: homework assignment with the voice overplay, Ain't.
Speaker 4: That great, Jeff Jarrett, let's get back to it.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: And then y'all let everybody white come on c the NBC.
Speaker 3: But oh the goods, you probably be replaced by drop.
Speaker 3: Come on, bro come on broh. Yeah, kudos to Tim.
Speaker 3: I didn't know what bat of your fight though. That's
Speaker 3: that and that's the hell of a fight to have
Speaker 3: to deal with.
Speaker 1: I'll add to that homework assignment. Go listen to what
Speaker 1: Loarry thinks said about retirement planning. Hell, what he wants
Speaker 1: to now up put inside the retirement plans.
Speaker 3: And it's interesting if they are looking to add those
Speaker 3: assets in, it tells you about the state of the dollar,
Speaker 3: in the state of the job market, because the sixty
Speaker 3: four I've been saying sixty forty portfolio stocks and bonds
Speaker 3: are dead.
Speaker 4: They're dying.
Speaker 3: If you have to put those other alternative assets in,
Speaker 3: it will tell you that the quality of the main
Speaker 3: assets are decaying rapidly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's also telling you that they're investing in
Speaker 1: their client so that are looking at it like, how
Speaker 1: do we get exposure? And if you don't give us exposure,
Speaker 1: somebody else will.
Speaker 2: Yep, what about small and mid cap stocks?
Speaker 4: Do your research and investor. What you love? I know.
Speaker 4: Shots to those who are in RGTI killing today, Yeah smoking.
Speaker 1: I got speak on r GTI because we talked the
Speaker 1: about quantum people. They still ask me about this. Yes,
Speaker 1: I brought up RGTI because again, I like the things
Speaker 1: that encompass the entire space. I'm not I don't have
Speaker 1: any quantum stocks. I just don't have them yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm not mad at anybody that's making money doing that
Speaker 1: at all regulations. My focus is just in a different
Speaker 1: area right now. But congrats. RGTU is doing great. I
Speaker 1: know I own and Q.
Speaker 4: Is doing great.
Speaker 3: The blueprint is to take if treated the same way
Speaker 3: you would a trade in the futures market or options.
Speaker 3: After you have a big run up in small caps,
Speaker 3: get two hundred three hundred, four hundred percent return, take
Speaker 3: half of that money and put it into a larger cap.
Speaker 3: Because my only fear is some people holding through for
Speaker 3: an even bigger game, a thousand percent gainer and they
Speaker 3: don't get it, or you miss out on some safety
Speaker 3: and other assets. Like the name of the game is
Speaker 3: to get a really explosive win that and then park
Speaker 3: it to somewhere where you don't have to think about.
Speaker 3: If you're constantly asking someone else what do you think
Speaker 3: the investment is going to do? At some point you
Speaker 3: know it's going to have a deep pullback. I never
Speaker 3: worry about Microsoft, Apple and Video VT never. There's nothing
Speaker 3: to even freak out about. Even when Friday was happening,
Speaker 3: I'm like, that should have recovered fourteen days in maximum,
Speaker 3: it'll be fine. So if you've hit a big win
Speaker 3: in MidCap stocks that are popular, take half of that
Speaker 3: money and put it into a company that is going
Speaker 3: to dominate through the next five or six years. And
Speaker 3: someone else earlier acts, okay, well should we go all
Speaker 3: cash for twenty seven No, buy the deeper dips, pre
Speaker 3: central orders for forty off fifty percent off of where
Speaker 3: we are now.
Speaker 4: Trade your way through it if you're a trader.
Speaker 3: But wait for those big pullbacks because those no one
Speaker 3: ever says it. But the crashes that come are the
Speaker 3: liquidity events and generatetion of wealth events that you pray for.
Speaker 1: M hm.
Speaker 3: You pray for those moments Brexit the night of the election,
Speaker 3: for Trump the first time.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we all say it. Oh man, I can't wait
Speaker 1: for an event like that to happen, and then yeah,
Speaker 1: it happens. It happens.
Speaker 3: You have to be prepared and take advantage of it.
Speaker 3: Got to be prepared. Congrat to y'all. This is no hate,
Speaker 3: no shape.
Speaker 1: Congrats to everybody that has made money trading quantum stocks.
Speaker 3: Even in palaer like. Geopolitically and morally, I don't love it.
Speaker 3: But if you made a bunch of money and palatiner
Speaker 3: the last two or three years, okay, great, take some
Speaker 3: of the money and put it off. If in Microsoft
Speaker 3: so you don't have to worry or open AI when
Speaker 3: that's public, or in video or Avgo or any of
Speaker 3: the top twenty that Google that are going to overperform
Speaker 3: and over index incredibly.
Speaker 1: Well, the Palentin is nearly add a half a trillion,
Speaker 1: which is pretty cool. I mean, that's pretty cool. I
Speaker 1: think it's at four ten, four fifteen right now, market go.
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pray for Tim Cook though, Tim Cook, that's a
Speaker 3: tough fight. That's a tough fight to lead an organization
Speaker 3: a nation that big and then have so many geopolitical
Speaker 3: issues that are stopping you not only for making your
Speaker 3: company better, but then also be an opposition with the
Speaker 3: leadership that you're having to do business with that's all
Speaker 3: tell some of y'all there's a sweet spot and getting
Speaker 3: rich if you overshoot that number.
Speaker 4: Oh, you got a whole bunch of other headaches that
Speaker 4: come with that life. I want to be a billionaire. Oh,
Speaker 4: I don't know if you can deal with what comes
Speaker 4: with all that earners? What's up?
