Investor's Edge with Gary Cultbomb, straight talk about you and
your money now from the Biz Talk Studios. Here is
Gary Cultbomb.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
And well once again to Investor's Edge, I'm Gary Kolbomb,
your host day. Thanks for being with us today. Glad
you here, ladies and gentlemen. Happy that you are listening
at September eighteenth, it's twenty twenty five. Hope you're having
a good day. In case you don't know, this is
supposed to be serious talk on everything that affects you,
the markets, the economy, your job, your industry, anything that

(00:33):
emanates out of DC that affects us. And boy oh boy,
throughout the years, there's been a crapload of junk affecting us,
don't we know it? And if you do not get
this radio show in your city, we'll post it at
garyk dot com. We'll post it our x feed, and
if you don't follow us on X you should, And

(00:54):
if you'd like to email us, just be nice and
let me emphatically say again, if we are not in
your city gary ka dot com, we'll post it on
the podcast apps. You can go on YouTube biz tv
and check it out. And we're in the midst of
instead of saying, well, just when it happens, we'll let
you know, but we're gonna do some other things. Ladies

(01:17):
and gentlemen. To all the women and men out there
that listen to this show, I'm so appreciative of you
because I have to tell you on a daylight today
where I'm thinking, you know, I'm gonna go into my
inbox and I'm gonna get a lot of emails on
wow and video and Intel did this big freaking deal.

(01:40):
Wow wow Wow wow Wow. No, my inbox was inundated
on things you want me to speak up about sometimes
away from the markets, which means you are interested in
my opinion, which means you are listening to mister logic.
And we do believe we're very logical in that we

(02:01):
have no agenda, no ulterior motive, no bias. We think, well,
you know what we think of most So what was
my inbox full of last night? And by the way,
I promise soon as we're done with this, we'll get
right into the markets because there's a lot of moving
parts today. I got email after email after email. So

(02:25):
what do you think of Jimmy Kimmel being knocked off
his show? As of now? Temporarily well, as you know,
we don't have an agenda, ulterior motive, or bias. But
we are quite logical, and we're quite logical, not just
in the occurrences, but in the reactions, which are well,

(02:50):
let me explain. So last night, when all this is happening,
what we do is we start taping, and you know
what we tape, and we have a lot of comments
from what we call journalists, you know, the reporters and

(03:14):
the anchors that are paraded in front of you, and
you know what we think of them because they are biased,
they don't care, they have an agenda, they have an
ulterior motive. And I was amazed to see one thing
only everyone saying the same thing. But there was one
line that I really picked up on that came from

(03:37):
a guy that's always on TV. I'm not even gonna
mention names. I hope you don't mind, and I'm not
going to go through the litany of opinions. In case
you don't know, Jimmy Kimmel, Colbert, they spend their shows
before the guests come on. They rip the Trump and

(03:58):
they rip maga that maga. That's basically what they do.
I told you I did an experiment back when, and
I just taped Colbert for one week and on the
weekend I watched the monologue. In ninety nine percent of
it was about Trump, ripping Trump on anything and everything,
making fun of him. And as you know, I'm no
big Trump fam I didn't find it funny. I found

(04:20):
it boring. And they were all laughing in the audience. Whatever. Anyway,
so Jimmy Kimmel said he lied on TV something about
the guy who shot Charlie Kirk was Maga, and all
the Maga people are turning themselves into a pretzel trying
to prove that it's not them, which is amazing, absolutely

(04:42):
amazing that this is what counts for funny. But one
thing stood out for me first and foremost that for me,
tells you everything you need to know about these people.

(05:13):
This is a quote, we are witnessing the most brazen
attack on free speech in modern American history. That was
a quote yesterday from one of these pundits. We are
witnessing the most brazen attack on free speech. And I'm
thinking to myself, the most brazen attack on free speech? Huh.

(05:40):
What happened in Utah in the last couple of weeks oh,
a thirty one year old man who was going to
sit there and debate people who disagreed with him on
campus and then talked about his beliefs. In other words,
free speech was shot in the neck dead by a

(06:01):
cowardly prick from two hundred yards away. That's going to
spend the rest of his life in a six by
nine until he's executed. Yet somebody said kicking Jimmy Kimmel
off of his TV show was the most brazen attack
on free speech. And I'm thinking to myself, is this
person just a schmuck? Is he that much of a moron?

(06:25):
Is he that much of an imbecile? And my answer
was yes, that's what was going on last night. Ladies
and gentlemen. The people that are paraded in front of
you were having bigger crap fits about a comedian being
taken off TV than a thirty one year old shot

(06:47):
dead in the neck. They had no emotion, no nothing
when the thirty one year old was shot dead in
the neck. But they were beyond the beyond last night
because a comedian was taken off TV. How's that? From
my thoughts? I couldn't give a crap about somebody being

(07:12):
taken off TV. It's not going to change my world.
It shouldn't change your world. But these people keep getting
paraded in front of you to try and to tell
you something that is such gargagewan bull crap. I heard
another one, the end of democracy. We heard that. I

(07:36):
heard that from about eight of them yesterday, including a
couple of senators and congress people. There's my answer. They're
full of it. That's all. Be careful what you hear,
and that's from everybody. Do your homework, understand the gender

(07:58):
and ulterior motives. Just remember what I just told you.
I couldn't give a crap. Whether he's off or on
doesn't matter to me. Oh and by the way, do
you remember when Roseanne was kicked off for a tweet.
Did you see any celebrities having fits over that and
saying that they are pissed off and they're not going

(08:20):
to do this or that anymore. Well, they were out
last night, the celebrities backing Jimmy Kimmel because he was
taken off. But Roseanne was taken off. By the way,
I'm not commenting on what she said, whether it was
wrong or right. I'm just letting you know she was
taken off for a tweet, and I believe there was
some Disney woman that was also canned also for something,

(08:41):
and I didn't hear the celebrities come out for her.
I also don't remember the media yelling and screaming about Roseanne.
I believe her name was Gina Krano or something like that.
I don't remember that either. So just remember, ladies and gentlemen, agendas,
ulterior motives. By they hate you, they're just conning you.

(09:03):
We want you to remember what they did with global cooling.
I want you to remember what they did with global warming.
I want you to remember when it cooled off again.
They changed it to climate change. So guess what climate change.
If it's cold out, it's climate change. If it's hot out,

(09:24):
it's climate change. They're here to con you and make
a lot of money off of it. That's all we're done.
Whether he comes back on I couldn't give a crap.
I hope it works out for him. We always wish
everybody's success. We are in hopes that everybody means well

(09:44):
and sometimes slip up and make mistakes. We're not perfect, right,
None of us are perfect. We've all made mistakes in
our life. Maybe mister Kimmel will come out and say,
you know, I screwed up or whatever. I don't know.
I don't care. I wish him all the good health
and success in the world. I know he's I heard
he's got a is it a son? That is very

(10:06):
A lot of rough health for a son. I couldn't
imagine that. I hope it works out for him. But
dudes and dude debts, get rid of your bias, get
rid of your agendas, get ridy of ulterium motives, and
be logical. May I read that one more time. By

(10:27):
the way, we are witnessing the most brazen attack on
free speech in modern American history because Jimmy Kimmel was
kicked off up next to the markets. I'm Gary, this
is the one on the Investor's Edge. Hi, I'm Gary

Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's time to switch on the integrator units and to
get the brain cells where.

Speaker 4 (12:09):
You're listening to. Okay, it could be fun Investor's Edge
the last bastion of quality programming with Gary called Bob.
It doesn't get better.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
Than this, and welcome once again to Investor's Edge, where
our first segment had nothing to do with investors, or
maybe it does. By the way, the woman's name was
Gina Carano. She was with The Mandalorian and I've never

(12:42):
want I don't know what is the Mandalorian? Is it
a series or a movie? I don't know, And I
believe she was. I don't know. She said something I
guess somebody didn't like and nobody backed her up at
the time. Holly Thewood didn't care. Again, It's all back
to the stupid agendas. I'm so sick of all the

(13:03):
agendas out there. I don't even know where to start
from both the right and the left. It's just you
don't you feel like you just being conned out or
you know what by all of them. Well they're by
the way, it's going to be two point five trillion
deficit this year, just letting you know. You want to
know why we'll have a good GDP because government's spending

(13:26):
a lot of money. Okay, the big news. So here's
how it works for me. I walk into my office
and I have three screens, and the front screen has
a lot of semiconductors, a lot of the artificial intelligent stuff.

(13:53):
And as I am walking towards the screen, I have
to put on my glasses. Yes, I need glasses, and
I see I'm pretty sure. At the opening, I saw KLAC,
which is a semiconductor equipment stock opening up at A

(14:15):
thousand and thirty. It was showing up forty bucks at
that time. I see ASML, another semiconductor equipment stock. This
is pre market at around nine hundred and twenty five,
up fifty three dollars. What the hell's going on here?

(14:39):
And I see the SMH, which is the semiconductor holders whatever,
and that's up nine that's about three percent. I see
Nvidia that's been under some pressure, gapping up about five bucks.
I'm like, what the hell's going on here? Dow was
up about three hundred at the time. Also, by the

(15:00):
time we opened, the Dow was basically flat, but the
semiconductors were and fuego. Now, let me remind you. I
have my dog barking in the background. You'll have to
excuse that. He's here in the office, and you know
we love dogs and it's the nature of the beast.

(15:21):
I am not gonna squirrel him away. Sorry, you'll be
able to hear me anyway. In the last few days,
these semiconductor equipment stocks, remember they are the equipment makers,
so the more being made, the more they do. They

(15:42):
went vertical for like three days, and I'm sitting there wondering,
what the heck is going on here? Could it be Oracle,
because Oracle announced all that stuff. Answer, I don't know.
Could it be maybe it's Oracle. I don't know. Well,

(16:04):
one of the biggest things in my industry is the constant,
constant seeing the leaking of news in Washington, DC and
the acting on those leaks before the news comes out.

(16:28):
In fact, Nancy Pelosi is the poster child for all this.
There is an outfit that actually goes and looks at
everything she does and posts it. They also post what
others are doing. And it's just amazing how these politicians
don't care. They are on committees. Let's say they are

(16:49):
on the Health committee overseeing drug companies, and these people
in the committee are buying drug stocks, and then we're
finding out that they are approving or disapproving certain things
in that industry. I go to jail if I trade

(17:11):
on what that's so called inside information. They don't. In
other words, we're in a banana republic when it comes
to that. Anyway. Recently, also is the CEO of Nvidia
has been all over Washington, DC. He's in the UK
with the President, he's cutting this deal. In that deal,

(17:34):
and then also Intel, there was a ten percent buy
of Intel from the government. I don't know who puts
up that money. Beats the hell out of me. That
was in the recent past. So let's put the pieces

(17:54):
of the puzzle again together. Intel, the government takes a
ten percent position, and VideA is just hanging around the
White House, the CEO cutting deals left and right. This morning,

(18:18):
Intel is announced that in Vidia is going to take
a position in Intel and put up five billion dollar
investment in the company at a price of twenty three
dollars and twenty eight cents, and they are going to

(18:41):
develop artificial intelligence, infrastructure and personal computing products. So Intel
stock was up five dollars and sixty seven cents, a
huge move to thirty dollars and fifty seven cents. It
was up seven and change. And those semiconductor equipped in
stocks and the Semis today skyrocketed today. Now I have

(19:12):
no information, I have no evidence, but I certainly can
add one plus one and get two. Somebody traded on
this in the last few days on the semiconductor equipment
stocks and boom, there you have it. That's all. Big

(19:40):
move today in the Semis, big move today in artificial intelligence,
big move today in the building construction of the data centers.
The energy component did not have that good of a
day though the Nasdaq was up two nine, the Nasdaq
one hundred was up two thirty one, the semiconduct were
up two seventeen. The Dow, though, was up three hundred.

(20:04):
I believe pre market only up, opened up about thirty
or forty, rallied up, came down, finished up one point twenty.
And remember we said Caterpillar broke out yesterday, it was
up sixteen bucks today. Remember we said American Express broke
out yesterday, up five and changed today. Uh that's what

(20:25):
did the Dow today because well, IBM was up a
few bucks, Travelers up a couple. Weakness and United Health
again remember what we told your healthcare starting to get
icky again. Up next we'll expound and other stuff. I'm Gary,
this is the one only investor's edge.

Speaker 4 (21:11):
You're listening to. America is talking investor's edge.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
He's got the crowd is just on his feet.

Speaker 4 (21:19):
Here, said a boy with Gary called Bob.

Speaker 3 (21:23):
Come highly recommended. You're gonna feel better if you talk
to him.

Speaker 2 (21:37):
No, hey, welcome once again to Investor's Edge. Thanks for
being with us today. So we don't know outcome, we
don't know what the future holds. We can just tell
you what's being said in real time that there is

(21:59):
this gargage chewin build out coming in artificial intelligence. There
are many out there that believe, why are they doing this?
They're not going to make any money off of it,
and they're going to be wasting their time. All I
can tell you in real time, you have some stocks
going vertical, I mean vertical off of news of what

(22:24):
is going to be and we don't know if it's
going to be or if it's not going to be.
Beats the hell out of me. All I can tell
you there are a few stocks that have gone vertical,
including the semiconductor equipment stocks that don't usually do that
off of this news. And I want to repeat I

(22:44):
have no evidence, but this is quite suspicious. I'll never
have any evidence, but it's quite suspicious. Nobody will ever
get in trouble, but it's quite suspicious. Nobody will even
be investigated. But it's quite suspicious. Don't you think I

(23:09):
do believe one plus one equals too. Now where does
it go from here? Well, let's just talk technical analysis.
These areas are stretched, extended, overbought to the upside. But
I could have said that yesterday and they got more stretched,

(23:32):
extended and overbought to the upside today, so beats the
heck out of me. What's next except to tell you
they're stretched, extended and overbought to the upside, and we'll
keep on watch. We'll see how it goes. I'm jealous.

(23:55):
I don't own these semiconductor equipment stocks. I can tell
you two weeks ago, Oh they look like crap. They
were under pressure. I wouldn't touch them with your money.
And they just lit the fuse or somebody lit the fuse,
and away they've gone. And all I can tell you

(24:20):
that spend better be there. But this was some big news. Now,
if you're gonna ask about Nvidia, all it did today
was get back right at its fifty day moving average
in a range. I have a sneaking suspicion that's gonna
spend some time in a range for now, and we'll

(24:43):
let you know if that changes, especially an important name
like that. Anything untoward today. Now, I will tell you
yields were up again today, So let's put that in perspective.
The Central lowers rates and real rates have gone higher.

(25:04):
I was watching some people. They say, finally J. Powell
lower rates, and that's good news for the economy. And
I'm saying, wait a minute, no, it's not so far.
The ten year yields up, that means mortgages and loans
are up. That's not good news. In fact, that's not
so good news. So I don't know what these people

(25:28):
are talking about when they say that. I am in
hopes that ten year yield comes down. But I can
tell you did not finish well today. Did not finish
well today that ten year yield. What else sticking out
for me today? Oh? The Russell two thousand. WHOA okay?

(25:57):
So the Russell two thousand finished at twenty four to
sixty seven today twenty four sixty seven. This is two
thousand stocks. They call them small caps, but I have
to tell you the definition of small caps is a
hell of a lot different than what they used to be. Anyway,

(26:20):
I do want to let you know at the close today,
the Russell two thousand, which hit twenty four fifty nine,
I am going to the nearest number in December of
two thousand and twenty one, or is it November? November
of twenty and twenty one? Hit twenty four fifty nine

(26:42):
in November of that's two thousand and twenty one. In
November of two thousand and twenty four. Three years later
hit twenty four sixty six, and then we had the
Trump tariff crash. We have now come down and we

(27:06):
now finished just above those levels. There is a possibility
of one hell of a big small cap breakout now
in the market, small caps that have been dead for
three years. Now we do have a big V shape

(27:28):
move up from the lows of the Trump tariff crash.
But I must tell you, if you take out the
Trump tariff crash, which was news driven because of crazy tariffs,
and cross that out, you basically just have a twenty
four to sixty six high, maybe a pull back the

(27:51):
twenty two hundred, start a new base, and now look
to possibly break out. Letting you know this could be
mooi importante, ladies and gentlemen, because it's two thousand stocks,
some off the beaten path, but would be in addition

(28:17):
to what we have seen. How do you And by
the way, we are not telling you to buy them,
sell them short and recover them. We're just letting you
know what's happening. And I will tell you the IWM
is the most traded russell two thousand etf IWM trades

(28:39):
thirty six million shares per day. And by the way,
is it two hundred and forty five bucks? So very
liquid stuff? Will will it fail? I have no idea.
We're just letting you know. It is at what we
call the tips. The tips the highs did not finish

(29:03):
well yesterday on the FED finished well today. Tomorrow is
another day. We'll see how it plays out. A clean
breakout and a stick will invite institutions into it. Was
the semis part of this, yes, but I think there's
more to it than meets that eye. So there's your

(29:27):
small caps for you today, ladies and gentlemen. I also
have to mention, remember how I have been telling you
a lot of no sale stuff, quantum nuclear stuff like that.
I'm just letting you know they've continued higher. I don't

(29:48):
want to mention names, but I'm just letting you know.
Here's one that was up ten bucks today to one
oh five. It's now at a fifteen and a half
billion dollar cap with no sales. Now we hear they
will have sales, but as of right now, no sales,

(30:16):
and if a bear market started tomorrow, they would crash
these things. But I am promising you well, I cannot promise.
I believe there is no bear market starting tomorrow. How's that?
And as you know, as we always told you, if
the semiconductors and financials are acting well, there is no
chance of a bear market. That is quite factual based

(30:41):
on the characteristics of bull and bear markets throughout history.
So anyway, some no sale stuff and you know what,
there's a bunch of no sales stuff cracking up. We'll
see how that plays out. Normally, we will not play

(31:08):
them when the market tops. I have to tell you
we're going to try and short the hell out of
them when we believe a bear market's coming. Just recall
that we told you that Game Stop would crash. We
told you Beyond Meat because of a fad would crash.
We told you AMC would crash, We told you Rivian
would crash. Just based on valuations, you can't have no

(31:32):
sales in a fifteen billion dollar market cap. It's impossible.
Up next, in real time, we'll think of something. I'm gary,
this is the one on the investor's edge.

Speaker 4 (32:14):
You're listening to. What are you waiting for?

Speaker 1 (32:18):
One to ready?

Speaker 4 (32:25):
We can't Rey called bot.

Speaker 2 (32:43):
I was working out the other day and I was
listening to Rush live from long time ago. Damn it
they good and I was beeping around the gym. People
are looking at me like, I'm like, I'm a nut job,

(33:04):
but hey, you know it's Rush and you should see
when Genesis goes on. Dang boy, do I look like
a fool? But such is life. God enjoy what we enjoy,
all right? Few notes A. Valuations remain in the trees. B.

(33:36):
But throughout history, when markets are near highs and then
the Fed is lowering interest rates, usually well, let me
give you a statistic. Whenever that's occurred a year from now,
markets have always been up and on average about what

(33:56):
I think I read about ten to eleven percent. I'm
just letting you know what they're saying. Whenever markets it
highs and the Fed is lowering rates at that time.
Now there are other people out there saying they shouldn't
be lowering rates. When are when the markets at highs.

(34:16):
We'll let them decide. Next thing I wanted to bring up,
and this is a very important point going forward. What
group have we been harping on to really avoid recently?
There's been one group, remember, and there's a few, but
there's been one that has really stuck out the restaurants.

(34:39):
And I don't know exactly what's going on in the industry.
Oh yes I do. There's too many. That's number one
and number two well, which means a lot of competition.
And it's just a different world right now, cost conscious
type of world. And we have said to you avoid

(35:02):
the restaurants, and we told you there was only one
that was hanging there, not bullish, but at least not
getting trash like some of these others. Well, it just
so happens that Darden Restaurants reported ironings down eight percent today,
down sixteen bucks to one ninety two, and it was

(35:23):
down about twenty at one time. I guess their guidance
not good. So we're just letting you know the restaurant
group is in a bearish phase of unknown price and time,
which some of them have been just absolutely smoked smoked.

(35:44):
We know about Cracker Barrel yesterday and by the way,
cracker barrels dropped from seventy two to forty six dollars
since mid July, and boy, oh boy, they should be
listening to me. I could help them out. But it's
not just Cracker Barrel. You got Starbucks. That's gone from
one seventeen to eighty three since February. You got Texas

(36:05):
Roadhouse which has gone from two hundred to one fifty
nine since June. Or wing Stop, which I, by the way,
I've never been to a Texas roadhouse or wing stop.
I guess I gotta do that. It's gone from four
thirty four to two fifty five. Young Brands one sixty
not bad, one sixty three to one forty five. That

(36:27):
one's actually okay. But Brinker International just was one eighty
seven recently one thirty eight, and Cava one seventy two
to sixty three.

Speaker 4 (36:47):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (36:50):
So just letting you know. And why are we letting
you know? Because whenever we come to you, we talk
to you about avoids, it's for a darn good reason.
And if we ever come to you and say avoid
the s and P nasdak nazdak one hundred and you
know what I mean, that means we're in a down trend,
bearish phase, bearish market. The big indices have yet to

(37:15):
break the fifty day moving average since they got back
above off of the Trump tariff crash in April, which
is kind of amazing, not very normal, but so be
it and I think it has to do with a

(37:35):
couple of things. Number One, the bully pulpit at the
White House. The President of the United States has been
calling for one percent FED funds, and the President United
States has just put one of his peeps in there
in the FED who called for a half point Yesterday,

(37:57):
the President United States also attacked one of the fedheads,
which what I believe is bs and I would tell
that to the President in order to get her out
and put one of his people in. And the President
United States next year will have it will be able
to nominate his own head of the Central Bank. And

(38:18):
I believe the market may be getting in front of
the fact that Donald Trump is going to be running
the Central Bank and he wants one percent FED funds rates.
And I got news for you, I'm not so sure
market's gonna be upset with that. So I think there's
that component. And then this big gargantean numbers being bandied

(38:45):
about by all these companies aren't artificial intelligence. They just remember,
this is all predicting what they are going to spend
and where it's going to go. We're not saying it's
not gonna happen, but we're letting you know, as of
right now, it's a lot of this is what we're
going to do. I have news for you at this juncture.

(39:10):
They better come through with those numbers, because I'm not
so sure things would be thrilled if all of a
sudden there's an announcement. Well, we said we're gonna spend
ten billion, but it's only gonna be three. That could
be problamo number one. So the restaurants and there, as

(39:35):
we told you, there are other bearish bearish action in
the garbage collectors, the exchanges, the payroll companies, the food
and beverage stocks are just getting obliterated. And by the way,
one of those areas that have been holding up in
the staples is tobacco. Not anymore. They're coming after that too.

(39:58):
And that's all. Hey, ladies and gentlemen. I will be
on Fox Business Network from noon to two tomorrow, by
the way, with my screen in front of me. That's
how we do it. You all have a great evening.
Drive carefully when you get home, do like we do,
quite simple. Make sure you hug your family. Make sure
you hug your children, and they will feel better. You
will feel better. I promise they will be well, always
appreciate your time. Have a great night. Everybody. Good night.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
