Speaker 3: turned by Bloomers denitza a COVID to what are you

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 3: looking at today?

8
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: Let's start with Quantum Computing. Obviously, that was one of

9
00:00:28,280 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: the biggest winner of last year. The ticker is QUBT.

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:35,360
Speaker 1: Shares decline about nine percent after reaching an agreement with

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 1: institutional investors for the purchase and sale of about fourteen

12
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: million shares. This will be gross proceeds around two hundred

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 1: million before expenses. That's a very interesting stock. Last year

14
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: it was up seventeen hundred percent. Quantum Computing has obviously

15
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: it's been a crazy it's been a really big buzz

16
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 1: and among retail investors and others. There's so many metfs

17
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: and a whole ecosystem around it. But the end of

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 1: the year the company said it was awarded the contract

19
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: with NASA. The whole technology of computing has incredible promise,

20
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: processing power of millions time, greater than computers, which would

21
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 1: be great for great drug discovery, material design, encryption, all that.

22
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: The big issue is that it may take a very

23
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: long time to do that. It's obviously a very expensive

24
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,040
Speaker 1: product process. So this year, the stock is not doing

25
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: well at all after a crazy valley last year. Yeah,

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 1: I mean that is I mean crazy rally is one

27
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,039
Speaker 1: hundred percent definition of that. Also, you're taking a look

28
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: at visce Rep that is a fintech company that struck

29
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: up over two percent. Uh yeah, we're looking at the

30
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: Pfizer if they're launching their own stable coin and stable

31
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: coins real heavy. Yeah, it's been, it's been in the

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: news everywhere, and it's coming off legislation. Most surprisingly, I

33
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: wouldn't think about the Senate passing a legislation on stable coins,

34
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,120
Speaker 1: but obviously that's slowly moving through Senate. Of course, it's

35
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 1: part of the crypto industry supporting presents stromp reelection campaign

36
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: and clearly a legislation coming there. Pfizer is up two

37
00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: percent today circle which we've been talking about a lot.

38
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: It's of about fifteen percent. You can even keep track

39
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: as the stock keeps rising. It's up seven hundred and

40
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: ninety percent since it's ipol, this is a circle SRCL

41
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,360
Speaker 1: and Pfizer ticker Pfizerve ticker is FI. So those table

42
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: coins give gain traction in traditional financial circles. With Wolemaker

43
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: passing that legislation, stable coins are usually picked to the

44
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: value of US of usset like the door. That's what

45
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 1: the legislation offers. And yeah, they've been on a crazy

46
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 1: run and everyone is wanting to get a piece of

47
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: the pie. Paul, do we need our own stable coin?

48
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:49,360
Speaker 2: Now it's time? I think we do? We need? I need.

49
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 3: I needed the IPL allocation at thirty one dollars a share.

50
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: I don't know where that is. I don't see them account,

51
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:56,480
Speaker 3: so I'll call it all the people on the wall

52
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 3: stream figure out what's happening. But that is thirty thirty

53
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 3: one dollars I on June fourth this year, and look

54
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 3: where we are just a couple of weeks later. Amazing.

55
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: All right, one more, we have Excellence Tickeries e x

56
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: e L. It's climbing after the company reported a positive

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: top line results from a trail study on treatment for

58
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 1: colorectal cancer. The stock is of about twelve percent and

59
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: the year today gain is thirty six percent. Analysts are

60
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 1: very optimistic. They said that the study is pretty much

61
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: paving the way for the first regulatory approval of the treatment.

62
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: The oncology company on Sunday said that it's in development

63
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: cancer therapy demonstrated a significant improvement in survival rates for

64
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: patients using the trick with a combination with another drug,

65
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,760

00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 1: company is having a strong year today gain and it's

67
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,000

68
00:03:57,040 --> 00:03:57,560
