1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,040
Speaker 1: So let's get into this.

2
00:00:01,560 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 2: I want to start with probably the biggest thing that

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: happened last week is Amazon. So Amazon, it was down

4
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 2: twenty percent after hours, but then it rebounded. I think

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 2: it finished the day down like seven percent something like that,

6
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: but missed it's uh, it's expected guidance. The guidance was

7
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 2: lower than they were expected. Still profitable, still made a

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: ton of money, but just missed Wall Street's expectations, and

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 2: it dropped to a fifty two week low. Like I said,

10
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: rebounded a little bit from that. But yeah, it's interesting, man,

11
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: it really, you know, had a really tough day and

12
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 2: it's been having a tough year.

13
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 1: It's been having a tough couple of years. Actually. Well,

14
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: so now the stock market, Oh are we.

15
00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 3: Going to get the dialogue and debate that we get sports? Well,

16
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 3: what's the show is going to be the one? What's

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 3: the base show?

18
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: Is?

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: So the stock stock market is up for the month

20
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 2: of October.

21
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was up eleven percent.

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 2: The Nasdaq is up even the other day when when

23
00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: Amazon crashed, NASDAK was up. That's when people was up.

24
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: That was up. But so Amazon was your pick of

25
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: the year, Yes, it was. So I'll let you start

26
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: off this conversation is do you want to reverse that?

27
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 2: I'm not there down Everest? So which which way are

28
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 2: we going? Which way we're going?

29
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: Yes?

30
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: Sension or the sension is key?

31
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean based on everything that I had read

32
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 4: in my in my information, you know, I stuck by

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 4: that pick.

34
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: Has it gone the way I predicted? No? No? Do

35
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: I still believe in the company. Absolutely.

36
00:01:55,040 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 4: So the report, the earnings report was interesting, right, because

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,640
Speaker 4: there was some like if you looked inside of it,

38
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 4: there were some good spots, but the bad spots were

39
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 4: so bad that it got overlooked. So I'm gonna break

40
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 4: it down by the numbers, and so a good spot

41
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 4: the revenue group about fifteen percent. Anytime you have a

42
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:17,119
Speaker 4: business and it grows, that's great. The advertising, right, which

43
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,359
Speaker 4: is we said was going to pass Google at some point,

44
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 4: was up by twenty five percent. The big pitfall was

45
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 4: the operating income that fell by forty nine percent. Right,

46
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 4: So those who don't know what operating income is, can

47
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 4: you really quickly explain to them on I mean, I

48
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 4: think the best way to say it is the money

49
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 4: that they are taking in and how they're going to

50
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: use it now and specifically for tech companies and inflationary environments,

51
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 4: this does not bolde well, right, And so as inflation

52
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 4: goes the cost to do things to operate your business

53
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,919
Speaker 4: obviously goes up. And so when you see interest rate rise,

54
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 4: you see right, since January, if you look at the NASTEC,

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,360
Speaker 4: the tech stocks have taken descension. We're gonna stick with

56
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 4: that work. Most of them died riding down ever or

57
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 4: walking down evers, right, most counts die on a decession,

58
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 4: So that that that was huge, all right. The arnth

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: per share dropped right by an estimated forty five percent.

60
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 4: So those those two things, when you're talking about operating

61
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 4: costs and the earnings per share drop in there you

62
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 4: can see why a company like Amazon, which I still

63
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 4: think is a top three, if not top two companies

64
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,680
Speaker 4: in the world, had such a negative quarter. Operating cash

65
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 4: flow also declined by twenty five percent. So like now

66
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 4: we're talking about three major factors of things that are like,

67
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 4: all right, this is a rough quarter. But even Basos

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 4: when they asked him about it, he was like, look,

69
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 4: we're gonna have to really tighten the belt because the

70
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: climate is about to get a real tricky. So those

71
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 4: are three factors you add on to one other thing

72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 4: that was almost positive.

73
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: And kind of got overlooked.

74
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 4: But the fourth quarter revenue is expected to grow by

75
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 4: two to eight percent. Fourth Quarta, obviously we know, is

76
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 4: how they shop and how they season. More people are

77
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 4: in e commerce. The only thing is that what they're

78
00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 4: seeing is that more people are going back into the stores.

79
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: We thought that obviously from the COVID time that people

80
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 4: were shopping online and it was a positive. But people

81
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 4: are back outside right e commerce numbers are not looking

82
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:22,880
Speaker 4: the same as they did when you know, it was

83
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 4: a lockdown. So all those things taken into account. I

84
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 4: understand it. Do I still believe in it absolutely. Is

85
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 4: it going to be the stock of the year. Absolutely not.

86
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,359
Speaker 4: It's still one of my top two or three companies.

87
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: Though.

88
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 3: The big thing I want people to realize is that

89
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: even in a company when it's going down.

90
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: Ernest, what's up?

91
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,880

92
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 5: works like the checkout is fast, or seats are digital,

93
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 5: tipping is a breeze and you're out the door before

94
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 5: the line even builds.

95
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,760

00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,599

126
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,040
Speaker 3: on a stock club, please put in chat Woll was

127
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 3: a number our coff Amazon. You can still make money

128
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 3: on a heavy drop like that. So the fundamentals of

129
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 3: the company haven't changed that much. Their global market share

130
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 3: dominance has not changed that much. When you have interest

131
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 3: rates of course going up and we're now going through

132
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 3: I think this ultimately will be a bigger recession when

133
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 3: it's all said and done in two thousand and seven,

134
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 3: two thousand and eight. But Amazon is primed, no pun

135
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 3: intended to do really well. Once things start to settle out,

136
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 3: they could be a hell of a lot lower. Being

137
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 3: in that tech space. They haven't fallen into the seventies

138
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 3: or the sixties. Ninety nine was like a good spot

139
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 3: that we liked, got in. It's like currently like a

140
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 3: one oh four if you're holding it for the long term,

141
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 3: you will be good also for a quick homework assignment. Internationally,

142
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 3: if you're going to order online from someone who are

143
00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 3: the four biggest competitors of Amazon. Now ask yourself, who's

144
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: going to get the goods to you there faster than Amazon?

145
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: No one.

146
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: They'll fix the operating income. Any money they're losing right now,

147
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 3: they'll fix. Going into next year, you're going to be

148
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: really upset if you don't hold a stock twenty twenty five,

149
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,239
Speaker 3: twenty six. Yeah, and if you look at the climate

150
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 3: of the world, like every country is trying to create

151
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 3: a business that replicates Amazon, right and I won't give

152
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: them the names because you gave them a homework assignment.

153
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 3: But go look in China, right, Well, we know that company,

154
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 3: but go look in South America. There's another company there

155
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 3: that is duplicated the business model of Amazon. And so

156
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 3: they'll figure it out. I believe in them. Well, let

157
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: me ask you this ian.

158
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 2: You you said a few times that your theory of

159
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 2: two tech two index, if inflation gets something to over

160
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: eleven percent, then that right, eleven percent? Yes, then that

161
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 2: that is gonna hurt your your theory. So why is

162
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 2: high inflation bad for technology?

163
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,600
Speaker 3: Especially when quantitative easing goes away all the easy wins,

164
00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: like for all my hoopers, like when we play on

165
00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: like a nine foot rim, we all look like Lebron

166
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: ten feet dramatically different. So that difference between happens your

167
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 3: interest rates and being able to borrow money. Like imagine

168
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 3: if if I said, hey, come to invest fast euro

169
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 3: We'll give every entrepreneur one hundred thousand dollars and you

170
00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,080
Speaker 3: never have to pay us back. The upside for the

171
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 3: entrepreneur is probably a ninety five percent win rate. If

172
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 3: we give one hundred thousand pounds away and say hey,

173
00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 3: you got to pay us twenty five percent back, now

174
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 3: maybe only thirty percent of the businesses will actually be

175
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 3: profitable as a result, So that arbitrage is one of

176
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 3: the biggest reasons Now Apple inside of that two tech

177
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 3: two index model has worked well. That's why always say

178
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 3: pair with the top two. But if you're going through

179
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: tech and you're looking at something that's fifteenth or twentieth,

180
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 3: that's not going to do really well because what the

181
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 3: technology industry really has done has gotten venture capital, which

182
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 3: has funded all of the ideas, and we have a

183
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: funded innovation. We've really funded the ideas that can get funded.

184
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 3: That's why we have a whole bunch of social media apps.

185
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: We could talk about it later. Now Jack from squares

186
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 3: looking to make another social media app, which I think

187
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 3: is a mistake. But you're really playing an interest rate

188
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 3: arbitrage game. So if I'm getting loan money at three percent,

189
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: when I can find a way ultimately to sell advertising

190
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: or a subscription to my user base at nine percent,

191
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: I'm playing an arbitrage game and getting the profit in between.

192
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 3: If interest rate is high and then no one's loaning

193
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 3: the money out, it's really hard to win that game.

194
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 3: So we are in a space, but we need more innovation,

195
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,439
Speaker 3: and ironically enough tech has not done a great job

196
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 3: at making a bunch of innovation. How we thought Like

197
00:10:38,280 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 3: when we were kids, I thought we would have flying

198
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 3: cars by now, Yeah, Jetson's for sure, we're not there.

199
00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 3: Like RAYJ is the only one still making scootie bikes

200
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: shot up in the city.

201
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 1: Shout out to ray J.

202
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: So we need more innovation, and I think now we're

203
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 3: just going to clear the way for people to be

204
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 3: able to get out all the bad companies and create

205
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: companies that will actually have a real ima.

206
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: My graduates from my school being force back drop Drop

207
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 2: Mike drot bag.

208
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 6: Drop, an illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a

209
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 6: child in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al

210
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 6: Salvador accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged

211
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 6: with filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are

212
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,560
Speaker 6: just some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of

213
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 6: President Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United

Speaker 6: States Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal

215
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 6: border crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and

216
00:11:53,800 --> 00:11:57,160
Speaker 6: over one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If

217
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:00,840
Speaker 6: you are here illegally, your next you will be fine

218
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 6: nearly one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you

219
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 6: will never return. But if you register using our CBP

220
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:11,520
Speaker 6: home app and leave now, you could be allowed to

221
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:16,400
Speaker 6: return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump,

222
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:20,160
