Speaker 1 (00:00):
How are you, mister Weetro.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
I have to be fantastic today, Fred, I'm with you.

Speaker 3 (00:04):
That's true. So that's one check mark. Plus it's Whetrow Wednesday,
that's two. And according to the headline, Wall Street neared
its records all three of the indices yesterday. So that's
three check marks to the goods. So give us a
give us a little rundown on what happened. I know
it was kind of choppy, started out slow, but it

(00:25):
ended up pretty well yesterday.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Sure did.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
The Dow finished up one hundred and thirty five points,
which is point three over percent. That s and P
five hundred up twenty six points, which is point four
to one of a percent. And the Nazac Cup ninety
four almost ninety five points.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Which is point four to four.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
But the index that we want to kind of pay
a little more attention to the Russell two thousand small caps.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
Okay, right, we talk about that every couple of weeks here.

Speaker 4 (00:48):
Yeah, it's been on a little run here and it
was up nineteen points, which is point eighty three of
a percent.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
And I can bring up some data here.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Now, why is that one important to guys like thank
you and to investors in general.

Speaker 1 (01:01):
Why should I worry about the Russell?

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Well, remember when I say small caps, this is three
hundred million dollar companies up to a billion, right, So
these are smaller companies that tend to run or trying
to start moving up when things start to get a
little bit better. Now, no, no, always, but I mean it's
not always a complete sign. But it's something just to
catch your attention. So, and it's been kind of lagging

(01:24):
a little bit, but you're to date it's up six
point one six I'll see here here, But over the
last month it's up four point four to one, Okay,
so you can kind of see that.

Speaker 3 (01:36):
So kind of like I'm thinking more of like a ship.
So Navidia and the big guys, when they move brillions,
do they move slower than the companies on the Russell,
which are I mean, they're big, but they're still much
smaller than a company like the Vidio. Do they react
more quickly to numbers and reports?

Speaker 2 (01:59):
Not always?

Speaker 4 (02:00):
We're looking at now, remember Navidia, the big they're coming
out today after the bell, Okay, got to come out
with their earnings. But here's a big company, truely, I
mean it's it.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
Moves in Texas. So it's so large.

Speaker 4 (02:13):
But if we're looking at Navidia and I pull up
here a one year average forty three point seventy four. Okay,
you're to date, it's moving a lot more to a
small cap thirty six percent. Wow, a five bread sit down.
Oh you are five year average one hundred excuse me, oney,

(02:35):
three hundred and twenty three percent.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Five years in five years. Man, it's incredible.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
And actually it rose a little bit yesterday over one
point one percent. Yeah, and some of the banks of
financial and industrial went up a little bit yesterday also,
some of those already popped up a little bit. So
we saw some gains yesterday in a lot of different
areas I think one of another one.

Speaker 4 (02:59):
If we're looking at Bowing, they've had some rough things
going on, but they rode three point five percent. We
have a Korean airline announced a five billion dollar deal
fifty with a fifty billion fifty billion.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
You missed that million, you missed that zero.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Oh, and I'm going to confuse with all these billions
they're throwing around now, everything's billions, billions, billions.

Speaker 3 (03:21):
But they're going to buy like one hundred airplanes. I
hear that's pretty good. It's good for Boeing good, very good.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (03:28):
I like seeing that.

Speaker 3 (03:29):
And just Network jumped. This is a huge Now is
this unusual? Seventy percent they jumped at and T said
it's going to buy some of their licenses again. With
a billion, twenty three billion dollars, that's enormous.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
We just throw it around, Fred, I know, let's just
throw there. Sounds like it's petty.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
And the people and the people in the aff and
the wood paneled offices that make these deals. Yeah, you
know what, throwing an extra billion?

Speaker 1 (03:56):
I know that guy. We golf together and run together.

Speaker 2 (03:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
Yeah, it's just crazy. So what did the broader market do?

Speaker 3 (04:04):
After the fight with the Federal Reserve and the announcement
that Lisa Cook was going to be fired, She says,
I'm not leaving.

Speaker 1 (04:10):
I'm staying. In fact, I'll soon to stay. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (04:13):
I like that.

Speaker 4 (04:14):
It's interesting to watch this little pressure going on the Fed.
But we have Friday coming up. Okay, we have the PCE,
the favorite measurement by the FAD that's your inflation. Now,
what happened a week ago? The PPI came out unexpectedly
rose a little higher. So next time we get the CPI,

(04:34):
which is where we're buying things. Are they going to
push that over to us? Are we going to pay
a little bit more for things? Now we have the
PCE coming out? Is it going to come in a
little higher than expected?

Speaker 3 (04:46):
So the Fed'll be watching that stuff a little Friday.
And the Fed chair has been threatened with firing also,
but that's probably not.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Going to happen.

Speaker 4 (04:56):
Well, they were already picking out his replacement before he
steps out, well before is ten years up? I should say,
I don't think he's gonna step down, But for as
ten years up, how's how's the treasury look? The yield
on the treasury and everything? Is we get ready to
go into the rest of the week.

Speaker 2 (05:11):
Yeah, they've been going down just a little bit.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
The ten years currently sitting at four point twenty six
and the two year is sitting at three point six five.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
And who's that good for? Who pays attention to that
on a regular basis?

Speaker 2 (05:23):
Well? I think we all do.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
We all pay attention more so people will pay attention
to the mortgage rate. Okay, so if you're going to
buy a house, it's in the sixes, kind of close
to seven. The sixes right now. Okay, yeah, but it's
come down just a little bit. But we're always watching
the tenure, which kind of affects that gives you an
idea where things are headed. The two years controlled more,
I don't want to say controlled, but the fat when
they come out and they lure that that tends to

(05:46):
go down.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
All right now, someone sent me an email. I'm just
going to ask you this anyhow, let me get to this.
We were talking about it earlier in the show. Anyhow,
a cracker barrel. What are Tim's thoughts on if we
invest may have missed an opportunity to buy cracker barrel
stock when it was on the downward slide.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
Now, if you hadn't heard so, they changed their logo.

Speaker 3 (06:10):
The reports kept saying that stocks dropped precipitously. So last night,
while I was getting ready for today's show, word came out.
We made a mistake. We listened to our audience, we
listened to consumers. We're going back to the old logo.
Was there? Did the investors miss an opportunity? Well, I

(06:30):
guess if you were doing your own investing and you
didn't buy it when it dropped, you missed the opportunity, right, possibly.

Speaker 4 (06:36):
But remember it all comes down to fundamentals in numbers.
This is just an emotional move for goodness sake, it's
to sign Yeah, are they making money or aren't they
making money? That's what you want to look at. Is
this company going to keep growing? So the name changes.

Speaker 3 (06:50):
So even though the stock took a drop because people
responded because of the name change, the underlying thing to
look at would be have they been profitable for the
last couple of years and is this logo going to
make a difference.

Speaker 4 (07:05):
That's what it all boils down to. But if you're
if you're trading on a regular basis, you're going to
pay more attention to like these quick drops and things.
But we're investors, you know, that's what we do.

Speaker 2 (07:17):
For the law exactly.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
So if they're not making money year to date over
the last couple of years, yeah, changing the logo isn't
going to change that.

Speaker 2 (07:25):
But isn't it funny how bad news is good news
good news?

Speaker 4 (07:28):
You know, any news anybody goes out with. I mean,
just like our Taylor Swift news that just happened. I mean,
we're all excited about it, absolutely, and we're all talking
about it. So we're all talking about Cracker Barrel too,
So let's go to Cracker Barrell.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Unbelievable.

Speaker 3 (07:39):
All right, So today, anything coming out that we need
to take a look at on a whitro Wednesday that
will give us good news or bad news tomorrow.

Speaker 4 (07:47):
Well everything's we're all looking for Navidia coming out after
the bell, but more after me. I think this can
really affect the economy and everything. But Smuckers, it's coming
out today before the bell.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Not Schmuckers. That's the one he always pays attention to.
All right, Well, we'll talk to you again tomorrow then,
and you won't be in studio tomorrow. If you need
