is a presentation of TFNN, the morning market kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good Thursday morning everybody, I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN just after 9 a.m. Eastern time. We got about 24 minutes to go until the start of trading. You have all the markets in red territory, but clon back some of the losses. You got the S&P negative by 11 points, but you were down negative by about 24 points at the low this morning. We have the ECB as they hike 25 basis points, Lagarde speaking right now, indicating that they're going to go more than even this meeting. They're probably going the next meeting as well. The first question, I was listening before I came on the air, first question had to do with our decision, right? And talking about, are you on a similar trajectory where you can take a look at the lag, the catch up? And pretty much it was no. We're probably going to hike at the next meeting as well. We have a lot of work to do. We're seeing a little bit of volatility around that. We have jobless claims. We have retail sales to get into this morning. And we have a market sitting above 4400, but slightly in the red. That's a one minute chart just to see the illustration. We back it up on a 10 minute chart. You see the volatility of yesterday on Fed Day. Quite an acceleration, man. We almost made it all the way down to the lows. You're talking about lows of about 4384, okay? And we made it to a low of about 4393. This morning on that low, we're back at 4406. You get the NASDAQ 100. Not quite down at that level like the S&P. NASDAQ 100. Negative 65 points, but how about it? 15,134. Remarkable. Got the Dow just off 30 points, 34,253. The Russell, negative by 10. Russell actually made it below the lows of yesterday and the Russell was getting hammered yesterday, man, compared to some of the other indices trading higher. Crude, just under $70, $69.23. You jump over to gold. You talk about some volatility, man. Gold contract, 1947 down to 1936. Now, here's the cool thing, folks, gold. Our man, Tim Orrd, he's got his webinar going on tonight talking about trading gold. It's not a live trading webinar. So the volatility, but pretty cool. We have some action in gold. He's going to be going over for that for two hours. You can check that out on the front page of TFNN. We'll reference that later in the program. You're down to 1936. You're back to 1949. Now, what you have happening here is that you've got a couple of different stories going on. First, you had the reaction to the weekly jobless claims coming in at 260-some-thousand jobs, jobless claims initial for Thursday. Then you have retail sales, which was a strong number and a beat as opposed to a negative number. But then you have the ECB coming. And guess what? They are going to be extra hawkish, potentially. You jump over the dollar index, right? And there's the 810, 820. Yeah, not as much volatility, really, as that number really accelerated from 8 until about 840. Yeah, so not too much volatility even in the last 20 minutes since the ECB came on. But it's going to be an interesting one, man, as we jump around. We jump over the VIX, have to somewhat chuckle. We were just sitting at a 13 handle. We're just above that level at 14.06 right now. You've got to take a look at yields, some volatility there as well. And what do we got accelerating, man? How about getting back all yesterday, right? How about that? In terms of the first indication, the Fed coming out saying we might have two more hikes, Chairman's wording, and I would agree, man, he was trying to pause without sounding like he was pausing, man. And when they asked him and Bloomberg said it so, but boy, if they were really true to their words that they're probably coming back with two hikes, we only get one more month of data as in we only get June data, really, before the next meeting. So you're going to get one more month of data when you're going to talk about, you know, we're going to get non-farm payrolls early in July, right? We're going to get retail sales, etc. We just got, you're going to get all the June data for the meeting that's coming in late July. But that's all you're going to get. You're not going to get two months, three months. So if you're really on that hiking cycle, and you really thought, okay, we're going to give it a pause, we're going to come back and we're going to hike. But boy, all he said was July was live. Well, if you don't know July is live when we got inflation between four to five percent, okay, every meeting is basically live right now because the data could change anything if inflation rears back up. So that was about the bare minimum you could say to go along with the pause and the market took that and ran with it. But boom, just like that, man, we're talking about yields below where we were trading back then. You got the 10-year 3.75 percent right now. The yield on the 10-year, we jump over to the 30-year. Yeah, almost back to where we were yesterday as well, up by 20 ticks, 127.20. And let's jump back to the dollar index as we jump around. You got the dollar index, 102.81. All right, where do we kick things off? Let's kick it off with the ECB. They hike again and signal rates will rise more before the peak. So their rate is 3.5. Now remember, the Fed just stopped at 5.1 essentially, right? So they raised to 3.5 from three and a quarter. As I said, Lagarde was over there saying that they're probably going to the next meeting as well. She's talking right now. So expect that you may get some volatility, especially when you talk about currencies over there. Inflation, I mean, they're at some lofty levels, man. You know, how could you pause anywhere near 3.5 percent when they're still dealing with inflation above 5 percent in dramatic fashion? So she's speaking right now. We'll see where they go from there in one second. Okay, I have the numbers up. I'll get to them. Weekly jobless claims, 260,000. I have retail sales up, too, unfortunately. I'll find that article. We'll jump to it after the break. But nonetheless, let's jump around to some of the fang stocks as we get the markets down by 12, still sitting above 4,400 in the S&P. It's a remarkable number. Amazon shares, down about $1.2550. You jump over to NVIDIA. How about NVIDIA yesterday, right? NVIDIA up to 433. You technically closed at 429. Markets just kept going last night after the bell, right? Up to 433. You're back to 424. You jump over to AMD. Not quite the same scenario. They're off about a couple dollars in the pre-market as well. Microsoft shares barely in the red. We jump over to Google. Google is its own deal, man. Google's going to potentially have some issues. You got the EU coming after Google. That's no joke. We jump over to Linnar. Linnar, with their numbers after the bell last night. Strong numbers for Linnar. Homebuilders continuing higher up from about 115 to 119 in the pre-market. We jump over to DR Horton. And they're going to be about a dollar higher as well, extending some of those gains. And can you imagine what's going to happen now? The interesting part about this is, think about this part for the homebuilders as we digress a bit. But they cover this on fast market yesterday in terms of the equities. They didn't cover my points I'm talking about, but they cover this. The housing market's held up so well, okay? And Linnar was the one they actually had the numbers. What's going to happen as the Fed comes into a pause, even if you go out a year to 18 months, right? What happens when they really come into potentially some cutting and you see mortgage rates go back down to four and a half to 5% or something like that? What's going to happen to housing prices? Well, for the first time, what's interesting there is that you're going to have the ability for people potentially who are in a mortgage at 4% to consider selling their house.  Okay? Because you want to make both cases. Say, man, housing prices are holding up well at 7%. How are they going to do at 5%?  Interesting angle on things, right? Stay tuned, folks.  Don't go away.

We get some action on the dollar index as well. As what do you got? You got lower yield right now. You have a weaker dollar, and you actually have a weaker market as well. The coolest part about this is we get to find out, folks, what the Fed chair was really talking about in terms of the real conversation has to be around what they're really thinking of this pause. Is it a pause or is this a skip? What's their mentality going forward? How real are they when they're talking about two more potential hikes on the table? We get to find out as time progresses. Let's jump over to our man, Kevin Hinks, folks. Every trading day, 12 noon Eastern time, fast market from the TD Ameritrade Network right here on Tiger TV. Your host, Kevin Hinks, Tom White. They've got a great lineup of guests, folks. They walk you through hypothetical trade stops. They're usually talking three different equities, all of them with defined risk. Kevin Hinks, good morning. Good morning, Tommy. Welcome to Dated Dump Thursday. We got something for just about everybody in today's market. You've got an ECB rate decision. You've got a bunch of one, two, three, four, five, six data points already out this morning and a couple more coming up. This is going to be a busy day, busy end of the week here. Obviously, coming off the Jerome Powell press conference, a lot to go through, a lot for the market to consume and digest. Tommy. Kevin, I was going to ask you, what do you think? We all know, of course, that they paused. That was pretty much expected. They had the idea in there that maybe they go to 5.6. You're talking about two more hikes. You had the press conference. Do you really think that's where they are? I love that conversation right now in terms of is July as live as they say? Where do you think they go from here? I know we got data coming down the line, but it's interesting whether, and I don't want to use whether you believe them or not, right? But how strong are they in the conviction maybe that they're going to go two more hikes? If that's the case, why are they paused? And what do you think about that whole conversation, Kevin? I think there's two stories. I think it's what Jerome Powell did that's important. I think it's what Jerome Powell said that's important by paying attention to what he did. He told you that they've raised interest rates a long way, and they think the inflation ball is starting to roll downhill, and they may not need to help it. I think by definition, Jerome Powell wants to stop raising interest rates, but his rhetoric is so important, and Fed speakers are so important that you also have to listen to what he said, which means if the data doesn't come in, he's prepared to do more. So I think what he did is important, and I think what he said is important, Tommy. So he also said a lot of the reaction yesterday was to the dot plot, right? The SEP, with nine members thinking we need two more hikes, two supported three hikes, one supported a full point higher. So 16 of the 18 members thought we needed rates higher than they are right now, but, and here's the big interesting part, Tommy, that's a snapshot of right now how they feel. That could change. And Jerome Powell even said the dot plot that you see that's not a committee decision. It's not a committee plan. That's what they think right now as they look at the economy. So I wouldn't, I would, it's important for traders, investors, your viewers to understand that what the Fed says is a snapshot of today or yet, in this case yesterday, and that could change subject to the data. So I think Jerome Powell is trying, Tommy, and it's starting to come into play. I think he's threading the needle here. He's got inflation coming down. Like he said, that part of inflation, that housing X services where wages are in that component, which makes up about 56% of core PCE. That's the sticky part. That's what's causing him the most problem. That'll come down the slowest. So, but he's got inflation coming down and he's got unemployment at 3.7%. I think he's threading the needle, Tommy. It's a great take, man. And it's pretty cool to see him, you know, answering the questions. And it would make sense, I guess, with where the inflation numbers are right now, that if you're going to not hike, you have to at least appear somewhat hawkish because the numbers are so high. Of course, they might be willing to hike. And as you say, I'm sure they're pretty hopeful, man. We get to find out as the data comes over the next couple of months. Interesting. They really only get one full month of data as in the next meeting is in July. We've already gotten a lot of the numbers from May. So we're going to get a lot of the numbers in June. And it's summer trading as well. I can't wait to hear what some of the different Fed speakers are going to be saying in terms of their preferences because it was unanimous, but as we know, unanimous with the potential of some more hikes down the line. With that in mind, Kevin, you mentioned, man, we got some data this morning. What do you think of retail sales? As you know, you got retail sales, we got jobless claims. You mentioned the ECB as well. Lagarde speaking, as I came on the air, what do you think of those retail sales? Strong numbers, man. Is good news, good news, Kevin? Or are we going to be in the deal where you see a strong retail sales number and the focus is now in the next Fed meeting? What do you think of that number and how that plays into the whole scenario? Yeah, what jumped out at me there, Tommy, was the X vehicles and gas month over month coming in at up point four. They were looking for weaker in the headline, but that number can be volatile in retail sales because of vehicles. So X vehicles on gas up point four, that was a fairly stronger number than everyone expected. Besides that, a lot of the numbers came in pretty much in line. Some regional data out of Philly Fed and Empire State and import, export prices. What jumped out at me is exports down 1.9 percent down 10.1 year over year. That was kind of a big number there. So besides that, everything's coming in line.  So let's see how this plays out during the day. And what do you think about some of the yield action? I got the 10 year right now up on the Thinkorswim platform, Kevin. And boy, we got some action this morning. You got the ECB hiking rates. And it seems like they're going to be hiking at the next meeting at least, as they're at only 3.5 percent right now compared to we're over five right now, even as we pause. What do you think of the fact we got the 10 year now above in price in terms of a little bit lower yield, even then when we came out yesterday, we saw a spike down to 112.12. And we're almost a full point higher right now, Kevin, in the 10 year. I think, remember, the government has to raise a bunch of cash over the next days and weeks. So I would expect some downward pressure on bonds and notes and some upward pressure on yields just for that. However, you have to always be cognizant of some of that that may cause bonds to rally in yields to go down. So yeah, I think the bond market, the 10 year yield is the one you want to be watching, Tommy. Nice. With that in mind, Kevin, we got a data dump. Like you said, I'm sure you'll have plenty to talk about a fast market on 12. But are you talking about some specific equities as well coming up today? Yeah, we're late in earning season, Tommy. So the names are getting a little thin, but we do have Adobe coming out with earnings after the bell. So we'll focus on that name, a couple others that we're looking at to add in as news comes out. I mean, Target raised their dividend today, Delta Airlines raised their dividend today. So interesting news in the airlines, but the folks in today's show will be on Adobe's earnings after the bell. Boy, and as you're speaking, I pull it up on the thinkorswim platform. It's amazing how many of these stocks have accelerated from 340 May 16th. About a month ago, we're trading at 480 right now. Remarkable. Kevin, I appreciate the time on a busy morning as always, man. Have a great day. Have a great program at 12 and we'll talk to you next week. Have a great long weekend as well, man. Have a great weekend, Tommy. You too. Folks, check it out. Every trading day, 12 o'clock. I'm always watching Fast Market. Check it out today with our man, Kevin Hicks. They'll be talking to Adobe as well as some other equities and we'll be right back for the open, folks. Stay tuned. Building wealth trading in the stock market seems impossible to most people.

You dived down to a low of about $43.95 in the pre-market we're trading right now at $44.08. Now, as I was mentioning, it's so interesting there's something for almost everybody in terms of what Chairman Powell had been saying because you have the journal over here, okay? Nick Timorel, who covers the Fed pretty extensively. He was in the room yesterday asking a question. And his stance is that a July rate hike is coming. And the case that he makes is some of the verbiage that he used here, okay? And literally talking about potentially saying the word skip, okay? Now, wait, let me make sure that's the right article I was talking about. Yeah, here we go. He includes the quote here talking about it. If you heard it, if you listen to the press conference, and it was pretty cool yesterday, we played it on live on Tiger TV in terms of the Chairman's press conference for a majority of it up until just after three o'clock or so, his tongue-slip mention of a skip. And he did do that. He also used the word pause later. You always have to wonder whether he had to, and this was the quote up here. Here we go. He did, yeah. Several analysts said they believed that that believed that in terms of his reference to the skip inadvertently revealed his preference to raise rates next month. We're trying to get this right, this is his quote. And if you think of the speed and level of the rate increases as separate variables, then I think the skip, I shouldn't call it a skip. The decision makes sense, but he did call it a skip. Then you have to go one step deeper than that, okay? How many levels deep are you, right? How many levels deep are you in terms of who's leveling who here, okay? Because what if it's a fake slip? How cool would that be, right? In terms of, you really want to get people on the page that you're as hawkish as possible, you make a pretend slip up. If you don't think it's possible, folks, okay? The whole economy is riding on it. If you don't think that it's possible that somebody would make that case when his whole legacy is riding on that, of course he could do that. So he could have been a lot stronger, I feel like, if they really thought, hey, because I just heard Lagarde, okay? And Lagarde basically said, we're probably hiking in the next meeting. He could have said that and he didn't. So they left themselves room there. And that's what the market's going to try and digest today. And I can't wait to see where it goes. As you come down to 43.95 overnight, we're sitting at 44.10. You get the Dow in positive territory, NASDAQ 100 man, 15,120. Pretty remarkable, the acceleration that we've had across the board. Now we get the numbers this morning, and this is going to be the interesting case. I can't wait to hear what the Fed Governors are going to say, because they're probably going to tell us pretty quickly a lot more information in terms of where they're leaning, where voting members are leaning. But you talk about, we get strong numbers. If we keep getting strong numbers like this, right? Is that going to be enough to have another pause? Are we going to give it? Because every meeting is about six weeks. If you go two pauses, that means you're going four and a half months almost in between hikes. Is that right? Yeah, that would be right. If you pause twice, the time between one hike and the other would almost be a five month pause. So you skip two meetings, man, five months. If you're skipping two meetings and giving it five months of catch up, and you're still worried about inflation, why are you skipping twice? That might be the end of it. And I'm sure that they're going to hope it. But I don't understand how numbers are going to rise 0.3% in May from the month before. After retail sales rose 0.4% in April. So you got a 0.4% rise in April, 0.3% rise in May. Consumers spent more at many of the types of retailers tracked by the report talking about groceries, furniture, electronics. They spent less at gas stations. I mean, it's simple. The price of gas has been going down. Overall retail spending, including restaurants, rose 1.6 in May from a year earlier, a slower gain than price increases. But when excluding gas stations, spending gains match closely with inflation. So that number hits. We get the ECB this morning. We get to see where it plays out. You jump over to the two year. We've basically gotten it all back, which is remarkable when you look at the acceleration that we got. That's the two year. Okay, you go from a price point of 102.10 down to 101.31. Now this one is not as volatile because it's a shorter term, right? The longer duration you are, the more volatility you're going to have. Okay, because any change in interest rate is going to impact the price more dramatically. So when it's a longer duration, the two year, okay, these are huge moves for the two year, man. You back it up to Tuesday. You go to Wednesday. That was CPI. You go to Wednesday. We've gotten all the Wednesdays moved back, which is remarkable when you think about the fact that the market either doesn't believe them. But I think it's a lot of what I said. That was not as strong of a press conference as could have followed if the conviction was really there to go twice more. I think he could have meant a little bit stronger and I would not base everything on that one word skip because he said the word pause later. Now, did he say the word skip inadvertently and then he said the word pause later to cover himself? Did he say the word skip inadvertently at first purposely and pretend to do it inadvertently? Folks, it's one of the highest stakes games of poker going on in history. Okay, that's literally what it is. It's a standoff between the Fed and markets and the economy. Okay? And if the markets believe the Fed is hell bent on raising rates and they're going to bring it twice more, things will tighten and that will help calm inflation. So of course, you want the other party to believe that when you say you're going to raise that you're not bluffing. That's always what you want. Now, it's not always. It's usually what you want in poker, right? Let's talk about a high stakes game. People do this stuff all the time in poker, folks. Okay? They pretend to do something. They make it seem an inverting and meanwhile, they're purposely doing it. Right? As in some people will by mistake raise and act like they just meant to call. Well, meanwhile, they knew they raised or they committed themselves and they pretend like they didn't mean to write these things happen all the time. So be careful reading into that. Kevin was talking about their actions in their words. The actions speak louder than words in my opinion and they paused and if inflation was that big of a deal, they could have meant a little bit stronger. The chairman could have been a little bit stronger with his words in terms of the next July meeting because we're not going to get a lot of data. Now, what he said is we're going to take, you know, because one of the questions was just like I've been talking about, we're not going to get that much data, man. We're going to get June data. That's it. Okay? By the next meeting. Then you fast forward the meeting after that. We're going to get basically two months of data because they fall every six weeks. So sometimes you get a couple months in there. Powell's reference was, well, we're going to look at, you know, the last two or three months or, you know, we're going to go back more than that because there's volatility, there's variance. I'm surmising his words and we're going to take, you know, recent data of three months, something like that to make our decision because that's what we do. Well, if they're pausing right now, we're only getting it one more month of data and they're going to look at the last three months of data to illustrate what they do in July. They're not going to get that much data and two thirds of the data they're going to be looking at already tells them that they can pause. So I really think that they're going to be hoping that they can do it, man. They're going to be looking for an opportunity to maybe sit at 5.1 and see what happens. We'll see what the market thinks that as well. Stay tuned folks, we'll be right back. We have exciting news, Tigers.

Distributor for side fund services, LLC. Right after this program, so pretty current in terms of where we are. And tonight, our man Tim Ord, we got some action in dollar, we got some action in gold. Great day for a webinar from four till six. Our man Tim Ord, he's going to be talking about gold. Okay, he's had two webinars here. Last week he did the S&P, they're entirely different webinars folks with entire different trading methodologies. Okay, nothing discussed last week is going to have anything to do with what's going to be discussed this week. They're completely separate webinars. That's why Tim wanted to break them down as so. Two different webinars, the methodology and indicators he uses to trade each market. Tonight is gold. You can check it out on the front page of TFNN. He'll be talking about cycles, ratios, advanced decline and up-down volume indicators, finding extremes, ideal decision areas. The way that you look for those extremes, and they're different again. He has extremes in the S&P, but they're different extremes when you're looking to trade gold, which is the coolest part of the webinars that he's put together. He has a question and answer period. After the presentation, that's from four till six tonight. You can check it out on the front page of TFNN. You can sign up for that gold webinar for $295. It's archived folks on your member's page after it's completed. You can watch it from it as many times as you'd like. And if you do want to attend that S&P one, you can always sign up for both. And you'll get the archive of the S&P webinar, save $100. But good day for a gold webinar tonight, four o'clock. Yeah, right after the program. And Jacob will be covering for Tom again this afternoon. It's Thursday. Don't forget. We got a long weekend this weekend, man. Juneteenth holiday on Monday. Markets closed on Monday. We will be closed on Monday as well. And Tom will be back on Tuesday from vacation. All right. Jumping around to some of the other stories in the morning, Kevin Hinks referenced it. Delta, we instates the quarterly dividend after a three-year halt. We jump over to Delta shares. As you may expect, a little bit of a pop on the open. They got weighed down by the market. So no real huge reaction there of Verizon. Increasing their dividend. Interesting, right? No action at all. We get the markets in positive territory, man. Dow up 78 points. NASDAQ, billion in the red. Let's see how the biggest companies in the world are trading this morning. Apple shares. Look at this. Apple chasing an all-time high, man. I think that was an all-time high close yesterday, wasn't it? Maybe Monday. I think it might have been an all-time high close yesterday. You're going for an all-time high print in Apple right now. 184.74, 20 pennies away. We jump over to Microsoft shares. Microsoft up more than a percent, man. I mean, you have to chuckle, right? I got an article up here about Microsoft. Wasn't sure I was going to jump around, but why not? Talking about what did they do? The sudden AI dominance is scrambling. Silicon Valley's power structure. This is a longer read. I'll post this one in the Tiger's Den, because it's an interesting one. Talking about, so what this talks about, right? You got GitHub co-pilot tool. Okay? Open AI's innovation. Folks, if you haven't even used it, I'm not a coder. Okay? We do, of course, some code work when you're talking about TFNN's website, even within Shopify, but even just playing with it. I was telling ChatGPT last week or so, write me code to do this, et cetera, et cetera, and watching it go. I mean, for people who actually know how to do that stuff, amazing to think what it's going to do. And that's what they're talking about. Co-pilots, okay? Which should be, yes, new lines of code to computer programmers, 10,000 companies as customers. Paid offering and as attracted 10,000 company. It makes sense, man. If you're in that business, instantly, ChatGPT should be used every single day for what you're doing. If you're a code writer, I imagine that's going to be coming quick. Yeah. And they're going to announce plans to incorporate other co-pilots into windows where they'll rewrite, summarize, and explain content. It's going to be in Microsoft Office 365. We'll look, create slide decks in PowerPoint, sift through emails and outlook, and make charts based on Excel data. There's no point in hyping technology for technology's sake, Nadella says. All of these technology shifts are only useful if they do something in the real world, but it's going to be happening, man. GitCubs version starts at $10 per user and co-pilots for Microsoft Office apps could be similar, translating into as much as $48 billion in extra revenue within the next four years. That's an analyst at Evercore ISI, right? $48 billion in extra revenue in the next four years, let alone what do you do in the next five, six? He estimated Microsoft's revenue from open AI powered features could hit, we'll call it $100 billion by 2027. That would be like adding three Netflixes to the top line of the world's second most valuable public company. So I'll post this in the TigerStand. If you're not in the TigerStand folks, get in the TigerStand. And yeah, pretty interesting where they're going to go from there. All right, let's check back to some of the currencies. As you have the ECB hiking, probably hiking again, we got the dollar trading lower. We got yields lower as well. As you got the 10-year spike into 1.1312 this morning, we got the S&Ps blowing higher, man. You can't stop it, right? We're amazing. S&Ps up by nine points. So much for that morning acceleration down to 43.93. And where are we? We're right near the highs of yesterday afternoon right now. As you pushed a high of 44.29 early in the day yesterday, you got up to about 44.40. Yeah, quite the acceleration indeed. NASDAQ, only up by five, you get the Dow up by 122 points right now. We jump over to crude, 69.52. And let's take a look at gold. Yeah, anytime you're getting this type of moving currencies, be interesting to see how Tim ties that in in terms of dollar tonight with his webinar on gold, talking about the dollar, talking about gold because you see the relation, man, right? From 1936 to 1961, that gold contract at the same time, you've had the dollar index go from a price point of 103.22 down to 102.61 mammoth moves in currencies, man. And we'll see if the day holds, because as I said, the day is young, right? 44.25 and the S&P is remarkable. Let's jump around to some of the other companies of note. Tesla off about 1.5% so far this morning, we jump over to meta shares, up about 6 tenths percent. Yeah, AI is just not backing down, man. NVIDIA gives back some of their acceleration accelerating to 433 yesterday. We're trading at 425 this morning so far for NVIDIA. We checked the Microsoft. Look at that bid on Microsoft, man. They just added $5 from where it was in the pre-market. Apple just added $2. That's $32 billion in market cap battle just added. It just doesn't end, man. Google's a little different story, right? Keep your eye on these, man, because you see how Apple is trading? You see how Microsoft is trading? Okay. Google's not in that deal right now. They're down by 4 tenths percent for Google shares. Jumping, yeah, Meta's catching a bid. So it's a different class. Google's in the class of its own right now. Be careful on the Google shares, man. I'm not sure we've seen a company lose a 25-year, 23-year monopoly in front of our eyes, and that's what we might see happen, right? Where do you think all that money that Microsoft's going to get is going to come from? It's going to come from somebody. Stay tuned, folks. One more segment. Markets in positive territory. S&Ps by 11, up by 11. We'll be back for one more segment, folks. Don't go away. TFNN has just launched their new trading room, the Tiger's Den, hosted at Discord.

Right now with the S&P, it's not stopping folks. Up 15 points, 44.33, you get the Nasdaq 100. The laggard, you could say right now. Only up about a tenth of a percent. Nasdaq 100, up 20 points. The Dow, up by half a percent. 34,457, you get the Russell. Flat this morning, Russell would be the laggard after getting pummeled yesterday. You jumped a crude. Up about a dollar at 69.46, that gold contract with some volatility. Don't forget about Tim Ward's webinar tonight. Four o'clock, folks, right after my dad's program. Four till six. Please don't wait until the last minute if you're going to check it out. It will be right in our Discord server room. So if you're already in the tiger stand, pretty easy to get in there. We get some volatility on gold today. We got some volatility in these markets, man. I mean, we just got above the highs that we hit at three o'clock yesterday. You came into the Fed decision early in the day. We got to a high of about 44.39 in the S&Ps. And yeah, we'll see where we go as we get a whole day of trading. And we got tomorrow ahead of the long weekend, strong retail sales, weekly jobless claims, 260-some thousand, nothing to get too excited about in terms of even on the retail sales front, but strong economy. And we'll see where we go from there. ECB hikes rates to 3.5 percent and basically signals they're coming again at the next meeting. It would make sense. They're only at 3.5 percent. They're still dealing with some pretty extreme inflation over there as well. And they're only at 3.5, right? We're at 5.1. The Fed says we might have to go to 5.6, essentially. And they're sitting at 3.5. It shouldn't be too surprising that they're probably going again on the ECB. We jump over to the dollar index. That's not stopping as well. 102.57. I mean, folks, 8 o'clock this morning, we were at 103.30. Keep your eye on the dollar index because it's driving a lot of the action right now. And of course, that's all related to yields. You jump over to the 10-year. We're up to 113.14 right now in the 10-year. And as we wrap up the program, we jump over in that 10-year. You're talking about a yield now of 3.72 percent. 3.72 percent yields coming down. Interesting. ECB playing into that, of course, as they are now seeming hawkish going forward in the Fed. Not as hawkish as maybe the market was fearing. Folks, thanks so much for starting your day off with me. I'm coming back for the 10 o'clock update, and then we'll have Basil's program just from this morning an hour ago. Stay tuned, folks. I'll be right back.


listening library presents ordinary people change the world I am Harriet Tubman by Brad Meltzer illustrated by Christopher Eliopoulos read for you by January Lavoie and an ensemble cast I am Harriet Tubman do you know what the North Star is it's one of the brightest stars in the sky unlike other stars which may seem to move the North Star always stays where it is when you find it it'll show you which way is north today people know my name as Harriet Tubman but when I was born I was called Araminta or Minty I was the fifth of nine children born in Maryland around 1822 when's your birthday I don't know how can you not know your own birthday it's because I was enslaved back when I was growing up in certain parts of the country if you were black you were most likely enslaved we didn't have a choice being enslaved meant we were forced to work without pay we were treated terribly I cut my hand I don't care keep working can we have water no keep going we lived in tiny shacks with no windows we slept on the floor or in boxes filled with straw as kids we had to wear sacks and they certainly didn't celebrate our birthdays or keep records of when we were born worst of all being enslaved meant we were property no different from a horse or a piece of furniture that meant my family my mom and dad included was owned by someone else they could sell us and they did well where are my sisters going our owner sold them they'll have new owners now please don't let them take us slaves were supposed to do whatever our owners told us to the next time they came though my mother was ready someone wanted to buy my younger brother she had asked other slaves to help her hide my brother in the woods for neat sample complete ready to continue


Stevenson gets the 80-60 win over Lebanon Valley here in the opening round of the Matt Commonwealth Championship tonight at Owens Mills Gymnasium. Glenn Clark with head coach Jackie Boswell. Coach, defense, offense. It was all there. It was all there from the beginning of the game. This was a pretty complete effort.  Yeah, I thought we did a great job. I agree. I thought both ends. You know, they made a little, you know, couple runs I thought and I thought we did a really good job of keeping our composure and then we just answered each run. You know, on both ends. I thought we got stops when we needed to. I thought they were starting to get a little hot on the threes and then, you know, I thought we stepped up and stopped that run. So it was a great complete effort. Everybody that got in the game, I thought, really contributed and helped. I mean, even though Mooney only got in the game for a couple minutes, she made a huge difference. We needed somebody with fresh legs and she got in there and played tough defense. I wanted to point out two of the players off your bench tonight that were both great. One's Dania Campbell. Her first half was exceptional and then throughout the game, Mary Amakita was just excellent throughout the night. Yeah, I agree.  They work really hard and you got to know with a team like ours. I mean, I feel really confident that anybody can still when we need to. I thought Johnny had a really slow start.  So if we can keep that rolling and these last couple games here, I, you know, I think we can do some really good things. What is Olivia Coleman's range, by the way, because some of those ones she was throwing up tonight, we had no idea that she was capable of making a shot like that from six, seven, eight feet away. Six, seven, eight feet hook shots, too. I think what I want, you know, I think she just wanted to get in there and battle and try to contribute. And, you know, that's their mentality now. They're not willing to pass it up. And this is where we need to be in February. That has to be their mentality right now in February. Right. Obviously, this now leads to Wednesday night and a showdown with Messiah. It's not going to be easy. What's it going to take for your team to go on the road Wednesday and knock off the champions of the Matt Commonwealth? Well, I think it's going to take another complete effort.  And, you know, I do think we're a great team as well. And I think this can go either way. We are going to have to play a pretty close to a perfect game on the offense and the defensive end. And then we'll see what happens. Coach, congratulations on a great win the night and best of luck on Wednesday. Great. Thank you. She's Jackie Boswell. I'm Glenn Clark for Go MustangSports.com.


Hi there, Darren. How are you? I'm good. That's good. See, Finnegan's nice and cosy there. Finnegan is very nice and cosy, yes. Yes, someone suggested I should do a Finnegan Cam, so that's what I'm trying to do this time. Look at him there. Oh, he's just lazy. He's just hanging out. Yes, if you saw the eight o'clock, he had his own little cheater doing it. I've got snowflake here as well. Oh, there's snowflake. Nice. Yeah, he'll probably move off and find a place to sit. Where's your towel? Hey, Julie. Hey, Julie. I can't seem to get here on time. I'm sorry. Hi, everybody. Hey, at least you got five minutes late this time. No, I cut it down by four minutes. There you go. Nice. That's great. I see Finnegan has his own presence there now. I love that. Yeah, he does. Now, if I'm getting feedback from the speaker, then let me know and I'll turn off his camera. But there we go. Yes. So we've got lots of people. Wow, up to 60 people already in the chat. So hello, everyone who's watching us live and everyone who's watching us after the fact. Hello to you as well. We've got Brian and Christine and Lisa and D and Judith and Ruth. Oh, your dogs. Judy and, and Mark, Steven, and Karen, another Steven, another Greg. Oh, Greg from Team Italy. Another Greg. There's two Gregs on Team Italy this year. Julie Bartamas. Hello, Judy. Judith and John. Maggie. Danita. Robin. Beata. Joy. Caroline. Margaret. She was an elf.  Sandy. Darren, of course. Darren, you're in two places at once, Darren. Yeah. You're here and you're in the chat. Yeah. And star and Audrey and Mary. And Kirby and Maggie and Robin and Deb and tree climber. And Lesh is here. Stacy. Steven, other Steven, Steven with a V. Melanie, Kirsten, Judy, MJ, Rich, Nancy. And I think that's just how Judy. So many names. So many names. So many names. And you know what? They are making so many contributions. To our profile or to our wicking tree this year. And today in this connect upon this weekend that the secret word is contributions. Yay. So all you have to do to win a prize is to type the word contributions and you have to spell it right. Has to be plural. Has to be an S on the end. And then at some. Count. Count. I'd say math. Math counts and showing your work counts too. But you know, we're not testing your math. To win a prize. But we do have to. Now it doesn't matter whether it's cap all caps or lower or a lowercase that so that doesn't matter. But you do have to put all the right letters in the right order. And that s on the end is important as well. So there we go. So add that. And I'll be great. Thank you. I have increased my score by 50%. I'm now up to six. Count them six whole profile. Nice. Yes. Yeah. I've fallen into this whole. This. It's not a it's not a branch that I had hoped for. So I don't have didn't do any of the. Haven't done any of the background work.  And you just can't get out. And but anyway, I do understand that. Yeah. But I want to get at least a birth and a marriage record. Finding the death record is harder. But you know, if I can at least get the birth. Yeah. For each of those. And I did it. And then I discovered that the last one I added just before I went online to prep for this. I actually found the father of the person I'd just added. So that was very exciting. And then I look. And I see there's already a profile for the. One I just spent half an hour creating. But it's going to. To a different husband. So I'm thinking they've actually because. Her name is first name is Marie. And this one is Marie Josephine. And all of her sisters are Marie something. Marie something else. So I'm thinking the one who they've put as. You know, who preexisting. I think it was one of the different other sisters. Oh yeah, that could that could be. Yeah. But that. Yeah. So it's going to it was going to take me longer than the two minutes. I had given myself before prepping before going live. So. I'll have to investigate that after. I'm going to try really hard to do some. When we're done here. I still haven't been able to add any yet. So okay. You've been doing all the discord stuff, right. Yeah. That and a few other questions here and there. Not a big deal. I mean, the three nuts are doing great. But I just haven't had a chance to contribute yet. It's nice to be able to do some. Yeah. Darren, how have you been doing? I've been doing good. I actually managed to. Increase someone else's CC seven. Let's see. When I connected to his grandfather. CC seven was 948. CC seven was 948. And currently it's at 1209. Wow. Yeah. So what did you say the starting number was? 948. And now is it. 1209. Wow. That's amazing. Good for you. You must have found a little island of people. Or did you add all the profiles? I think. Let's see. Let's see. I think it was. The. This profile managers. Grandfather's sister. I'd already created. And I was creating the rest of the family. And. There's a profile for this person. All right, let's connect it. Look. And it's his wife. Grandfather. I looked at the profile manager. And then. Put a. Put a note down and said, oh. Let's check on it a bit later. See how it improves and. There you go. That's fabulous. He hasn't been on for a couple of years. So hopefully this. I'm doing the edits. And that might bring him back. That's great. That is great. I'm going to try to work on. Do I want to work on my own family? We always.  And then. I don't know. Maybe I'll just work on Illinois. Well. Should we do some stats? Yes, please. Okay, so I'm thinking that is. Four o'clock. Where are we here? We go. Now I'm going to turn off the fin. Cam for a bit. There we go. And since it's four o'clock and four is a perfect square. That we're going to go through and. Do the largest perfect square from each team. So. So smoking. There we go. Smoking steaks. At. The one. Okay. Morgana is the only one. Okay. Morgana is the only one from smoking steaks. So she's not person number one. And one is a perfect square. So. Morgana with five profiles. Banyan tree also. Valme has won is the only one. So she. Valme is the perfect square with five profiles as well. Musty dusties. There's the pre 1500. Team right. Musty. And the captain. The captain. The captain. He's not Richard. Devlin has 15. Wow. That's very impressive. One is a perfect square. To is not so Don Marie the captain. Don Marie gets the kudos for team. Massachusetts 17 profiles created. In the south of a shiners for is a perfect square. So Russ. With two profiles gets the kudos there. And then four profiles for Julian. And then the little team on the prairie, in fourth position is Gurney G. Thompson Jr. with one profile, which is also one of the perfect squares, so nice there. Team Lachheim, fourth position is Elaine Martson with 13 profiles. Team Austria, Viata in first position has a perfect square with 109 profiles, nice super Ozzie Genies, nine is a perfect square and the ninth position belongs to Sue Perar with one. And then Twisted Thistles, ninth position again is Don J. Britz with six. The Irish Chantet in ninth position is John Tiner who's here joining us. Hi John, how are you doing? And he has got two profiles done so far. Wizards of Oz, ooh, one shy of four squared people participating. So the three squared person is Lee Chester who has seven profiles added. The Nor'easters have 19 people participating right now, so four squared is 16, so Joy M. Beer with three profiles created gets the shout out. The Western Red Cedars shout out goes to Barbara Amid with two profiles created. On the Southern Cross Stars, ninth position is Vicki E. Hennecker also known as Lovell and she has two squared profiles done of four. The Kiwi Crew in ninth position is Michelle Miller and she has six profiles done. Is this your team, Darren? No. No, I'm in the crew now, but I do support the Kiwi Crew and all the other staff too. Okay, all the good branch. All good, all good folks. Team Virginia, Mindy's in first place, way to go Mindy there, but the largest perfect square is ninth position which is Mary A. Gilkerson who has three squared. She has three squared, nine profiles created, so that's very nice. Next we have the Globetrotters and the Globetrotters. The fourth position, two squared, is David Randall, the captain with 13. Then we have the Toddlin-Tortises large team and they have 25 people participating and the five squared position is 25 and that's Jacques Speekermans. I'm not sure if I've pronounced that right, the Toddlin-Tortises and he has one profile and one is perfect square as well. Team Mid-Atlantic U.S. has 23 people and four squared position is Anna F. West with six profiles. Nordic Noir, the 16th position belongs to Karen E. Gunn with three profiles. Cornbread Ketchers has one shy of four squared number of people participating so we'll have to go three squared people. So the ninth position belongs to Sheila Tidwell and she has 13 profiles added. The Flying Dutchman in ninth position is Charles Hensgen with nine three squared profiles. Very nice. Team Italy. I am not in last place. There's another Greg. We have two Gregs on the team so welcome other Greg. Greg Eskandron is an 11th position. That's not a perfect square but I just thought I'd say hi anyways. But the ninth position belongs to Courtney R. Simonece from Italy. Team Italy and she has seven profiles. She's nudge me out by one and Captain Chris is up there with 20 profiles. Nice one Chris. South African Springbox. Four people and two squared is four and that's Susanna Hendrina Elisa de Boone with four or two squared profile done. Very nice. 16th position which is a perfect square is Richard O'Cheek from the Southern Supersweepers and Richard has three squared profiles done. Nine profiles added. The Canadian Connectors the other team that has my hurt but not my allegiance for this connect-a-thon sorry next time. MM Ross is in 25th position. Five squared position and has one profile added. You're just off to the races there. Keep on going. Then ninth position for Team Missouri J.L. Benefiel with 15, one shy four squared. Splendid Spruces number nine on that team is Mary L. Kohler as one of those words with five profiles. The legacy heirs in 25th position which is five squared. Jacqueline Dobson has one profile added. Tree Nuts in the 16th position is Connie L. Wright with three profiles. Northwest Terriers in 16th position with 11 profiles is Bonnie M. Day and Team Roses and 16th position also. Suzanne R. Low with eight profiles. Germany Genies 16th position which is a perfect square. Raymond L. Johnson who has done six profiles and 36th. I think this is the first time we've hit 36th as a perfect square in terms of the number of positions and that's David Weinberg and he has three profiles and that is for the Mighty Oaks and then the is this the yeah Appalachia. Oh they fixed the spelling. It is Appalachia. Appalachia Roots has over 40 people 42 people holy moly and the perfect highest perfect square and that number is 36. So in 36th position is S. Esper with six profiles added and that is wonderful. So all the all the people I called in their position was the largest perfect square in that team in terms of the position number and many of those some had only one some had two profiles some had low numbers of profiles but one of the reasons I like to choose them stats like that is because every single profile counts every little piece of work that you do on the on the tree. I mean it's amazing the people who are you know have prepped for weeks and have you know are working from you know have just their systems in places and they're up in the hundreds already like look at this the top team here the first the first 11 people are all over 100 already which is impressive and that's kudos to them but every every little bit so if you're in single digits like I am still don't don't despair because all of that work is very important because we're all we're all working together to improve the tree. Yeah well I do the connecting challenge all the time and it's amazing the amount of times I find a profile that connects the domain tree and it's been created during a connect us on so all these profiles that we're creating that's matter how many we're in the village you make it can be that quick that helps to connect throughout or how helps a person find more of their family already online so it all all helps it all helps so updating as of this moment in time we have oh you know what if I done if I was just it was just a second earlier look at the number total number it was 16 462 if I done it one second early and it was one four six four six one I would have a perfect palindrome oh oh great that that hurts that hurts look what a beautiful number that would have been oh it'll still happen I just know it I know we just passed a perfect palindrome now let's see look at the Appalachia roots number if I get it for the when one more profile it'll be 2992 and that'll be a palindrome come on no yes at all now watch it jump to five or something like that it's not refreshing it's not giving me a new number oh well anyways that is an amazing number so shall we do the draw for the

hard to type because we got over we had 62 so Casey came to say hi to him there we go everyone's had their pets on snowflake was here yeah she thinks it's time to eat class to sleep again probably a good idea to just let sleeping cats lie right yeah you don't want to get them too riled up um so what do people say in the chat I haven't been paying any attention to the chat while I was um I have I've been I'm my focus right now ability to focus is not good so I haven't been I'll I'll stage back through here I think food blueberry oatmeal and jalapeño popcorn um someone was talking about snow there we go oh oh yeah it's national popcorn day that that's probably right yes yeah I think my wife that she loves her popcorn you go popcorn me too so it must be world popcorn day because neither of you are or none of us are in the same country so yeah that's that's one of my stacks that I've got that's a good snack I need somebody oh and other people are telling where their pets are john thank you cat no feedback oh good thanks john I was worried because I'm I can hear just a little bit of a sound out of my camera the fin cam even though I've turned the sound off all the way like I've turned it down to zero the app seems to bypass the the setting and gives some sound so it's it's not muted so I don't know they're always listening to us they're always listening to us that's right and uh let's see oh Kathy has a a PSA public service announcement that the UK United Kingdom didn't exist until 1801 for England Scotland the whales in northern Ireland wasn't around until 1922 thank you for that announcement Kathy yeah and contributions contributions there we go oh here's comes some more chocolate chocolate in the popcorn ooh that's nice cheese crackers with peanut butter hmm yeah I don't think I've tried cheese with peanut butter before I should cheese crackers you have those little cheese crackers with the peanut butter oh that's right the little Ritz crackers had she had yeah well yeah there's some other kind too but I I don't need stuff like that anymore yeah funny saying one appellations side biscuits sorry I don't want to sleep oh yeah we haven't heard biscuits once where's the best no say sandy see that sandy sandy was here I didn't see her say biscuits did she say biscuits uh yeah yeah she did and then she said of course I fixed the spell now they're saying fighting there we go there are the biscuits oh and the table is still connecting that's great of course sandy said it yes Darren us tree nuts need to come up with a with a team yell cashews or something I don't know well sometimes people write in we go peanuts we're just being like I said earlier squirrel there's there's Fibonacci there's Fibonacci thanks Lisa excellent yeah well that's great um do you guys have anything else you want to remind people about or now we're going now we're going now we're going macadamia very nice jody likes squirrel maybe that will be our team our team yell because you know one should have a team logo or team there's a squirrel one word logo isn't it yes yeah for now we could change it what would team italy's be chris what would our one word think that we'd yell out lasagna pasta pasta ah yes pasta be yeah it has to be nice and short and sweet easy to say two syllables is good just like biscuits you know pasta everyone loves pasta but anyways Fibonacci with stripes oh Fibonacci with stripes with oh yes they do yes I agree with Karen oh yeah mathematical blankets that's right someone had sent me a picture um I think it was vicki of a Fibonacci clock which was very cool I think I've seen that before is it square it's square like elongated yeah and yeah because of those the Fibonacci sequence if you do it with perfect squares they sort of they it just sort of spirals out and the way you read it is that because the numbers are uh one one two three five eight depending on the number if it's like if it's one of those numbers then just that square is highlighted but say it was nine then it would highlight the the one and the eight and you'd add them together to get nine and then there's different colors so the one color code is for the hour and the other color code is for the minutes so it would do it once you figure out what time it is it's five minutes later and you just start over again I don't think you could use it for seconds because that would just be too wild to try and keep track of that but yeah so I thought that was great all right that is awesome there's a challenge for all the teams come up with a a name a team yell a team yell yeah team yell I see something like we have Poutine Poutine's good oh for the french fry team french fries team french fries yeah that'd be there all right you guys come back in

All right, 20 worst products from 20 brands, hopefully in about 20 minutes, we can get through this video because I wanna show you not only the bad of what I do not like, but I wanna show you alternatives. So let's get going on that video right now. Couple of months ago, I did this same video and you all seem to like it so much. You like to see what wasn't good, but you also like to see what I do like in place of it. So that's what we're gonna do today. First of all, I'm gonna put a timestamp right here where the video starts, because we do talk about what I'm wearing and my jewelry, whatnot. And a lot of you just come here for the products. You don't come here to see what I got on. Let's first talk about what I have on. It is, of course, just a regular Jersey knit T-shirt. I love these shirts. It's so comfortable to be able to wear these, but I always like to elevate them just a little bit. And what's great about this one this time is it does have a cute puff sleeve with a little cuff on it that comes in. And it also has this cute collar with the three buttons down. And I just think it elevates it so much. I also know that I like to talk about my jewelry that I have on. This is just a little spiral earring, but also inside the spiral, they have a little crystal that lays in there.  And then I also have just a really pretty paperclip necklace. I love this big link. It's just so me. I love having different jewelry, different pieces that you can put on. And as always, I'll make sure that my rings, my Fiorino polish, any makeup that I have on that's not talked about in this video, all of that will be listed and linked below. Along with this, speaking of links, I always put up a number right here because I'm showing you what my numbering system is. I will hold up a product that will correspond to this number right here. All you gotta do is remember that you liked whatever number I was holding up that corresponds to it. In this case, it's number three. Go down into the description box and you can shop that way because next to the number three will be the product. If there is a color that I specify on there and the link and you can shop that way, it seems to be so much easier for everybody. That's the intro. Let's get into the 20 worst products, yucky, icky, nasty products that I don't like and some alternatives that are really great. First of all, I wanna say that if you like any of these products, if they're your ride or die products, don't listen to me.  It's just my opinion. So I know that so many women love this makeup but this makeup did not work for me and I was a little bit upset because I invested some money into this makeup. This is from Saint and it's all over Instagram, all over TikTok. So many women are talking about it. It's a great concept and the concept is that you have in a palette like this, you have everything that you need for your face. I thought that that was gonna be just the greatest thing ever. When I started into this and when I got into this, this was a greasy mess and they show you that you can just take certain pieces of it, put it on in dots or in little swatches on your face and then blend it all together and it's gonna be perfection, not for me. First of all, there was no coverage for me and I couldn't build this up and it not look cakey. So this was a no, no, no for me. Here's my alternative and right now my alternative is not in stock and of course it's not. But I wanna tell you that the Wayne Goss new foundation that he has is such a great alternative. I got it right when he released it because I thought if Wayne's gonna release something, he is the ultimate for me and I trust him and I am gonna go for it. And so I got two colors. I got shade nine, which is lighter and shade five, which is a little bit deeper and this is so good. As you can see, it looks like I barely even touched this and I have used this over and over and over and over. You need so very little of this to cover your face and he talks about in his release video, he talked about using it as, you know, you can use the deeper colors as contour and the lighter colors as highlighters or mixers and so I was just all in. I'm like, oh yeah, I love that idea and I actually think that this is some of the best cream makeup that I have ever seen in my life. It's effortless makeup for the over 40 woman. When you have skin that changes and when you have skin that has spots or melasma or redness or dark circles, whatever, you wanna reach for something that you can trust. Oh my goodness. So get on the waiting list. I'm gonna put the site down below. There are a lot of darker colors.  All right, my next one is the Stick Concealer from Hourglass. When I first got this, I was like, okay, I'm gonna love this because I love a high coverage and I started to use it and first of all, it felt a little cakey, a little thick and I don't mind a thick concealer because I have dark circles from you nowhere but this one was just, it was almost like too much. It was settling. I usually like my concealer to set down a bit and this would not set down enough that I could not have creases in it. Every time I tried to wear it, it was a no-go for me but recently I did discover a full wear concealer that works really good for me and I do have it on this eye today. Heads up on that one. So this is the L'Oreal Infallible Full Wear plus something, I don't know what that is. It's a corrector, it says. So not only is it the concealer but it's also that corrector. So they put the little pigments in there that really do help correct but the coverage is there. It's really good. The wear is there, that's fantastic. I actually have three concealers in this video today. So if you don't think that you like this one or you've tried it before, try one of the other ones that's coming up. Might be really good for you. Okay, the next product is from Undone Beauty. I was totally underwhelmed by Undone Beauty in almost every category they have. This is the Warm Up Bronzer Glowing Coconut Extract 4-in-1 Radiance Palette. I didn't like the choice of highlighters that they had to begin with and look how thick and how it's just chalky. It just feels chalky immediately when you go into there. Normally I will talk about something being buttery. This isn't buttery, it's just chalk. I felt like it showed up every bit of texture I had and then these two colors were terrible colors for someone that is just looking for an average bronzer but you know I always got an alternative for you. I got you covered. So this is from Ulta and this is the Ulta Baked 3-in-1 Cheek Palette and I really, really like this. I did not think that I was gonna like it because of this baked part right here that is the bronzer but it's like a medium tone bronzer without being overwhelmingly warm. And then I love, I absolutely love this rose color of blush. It's so good. I'm using my wrong hand so that's why I'm having a little bit of an issue here. And then the highlighter. So good. See all the face things you need right there in this one pan. It's not a super soft formula, which I like too but it feels very buttery and blends very pretty on your skin and yeah, I really like this one as a substitute for the Undone Beauty. So it was on Ulta and I saw that they had a new brand and I wanted to try some of their stuff and I'm always looking for the best eye shadow primer and this one is from About Face. This is the Smoothing Shadow Fix. It comes with a toe foot applicator like so many of them do. The problem with this one is when I put it on my eyes, it felt slick. Like it had so much dimethicone in it or some of the silicone in it that it just slid around. And there was no gripping property or no property of it being opaque for my eyes to cover up that redness or the whatever darkness I have on my eyes. And I was just like, oh goodness, no, no, can't do that. But I do love, and I know you were thinking I was gonna grab the Anastasia Beverly Hills but guess what? This is from Rare Beauty and I really like this. This is her eyeshadow primer and this is opaque so you get that little bit of cancellation of the darkness on your eyelids but it holds onto your eyeshadow so well. I really love this one and I'm so glad that I found it and this one, skip over it. It's nasty, it's garbage. I'm gonna chuck it one of these days but yeah, it's not good. The next product that quickly came onto my radar as a Yucky Nasty Icky Poo product is from Lys. I'm gonna get into some of this trouble. I always do when I do these videos. Lys, this is their Secure Skin Gripping Serum Primer. I was so excited about this because I love so much from Lys. I love their foundation, their concealer, their blush, their bronzer, their highlighter, their powder. I love that whole line except for this.   And I was the first time I wore it I was like, what in the world? You know, I couldn't believe, I couldn't figure out what I had put on my face that was making my makeup do that. So as soon as I did that and I felt like that was happening, I'm looking in the mirror and I'm sure enough it's looking a little cakey, it's looking a little weird. So I just kind of brushed down my neck because I always bring all of my products down my neck. I have a lot of discoloration.  And I was like, oh, yuck. And I just was like, nope, can't do that. So I tried it two more times, other foundations, other skincare, nope, it was that product. It was definitely that product. And ELF for the win. ELF is the power grip primer. This is so good and it's like $10 I think. It's amazing, it will hold on to your foundation.  The next one is from Revlon. Revlon is one of my favorite companies, but Revlon, could you please come out with a decent blush? I'm just saying. Okay, this is the Revlon Insta Blush Photo Ready Stick. And it says new formula on it, woohoo, new formula. All right, first of all, I'm gonna paint this on here and you're gonna see that there is hardly any, there we go, you can see a little bit of color there. There's hardly any. And you can't touch it. Don't touch it and don't try to blend it out because when you do, it's gonna go away.  So yeah, and definitely don't try to get this to wear all day long because it ain't gonna happen. But makeup by Mario. This is called Soft Pop Color Stick in Pale Petal. And this is what the color is right here. This is a color that I picked up because I normally don't pick up a peach or a coral or anything. But you know what, when I get this on my cheeks, like I have it on today, it is so pretty. It hugs the cheeks, it stays on there all day long and the creaminess in it is really good as well. It just really has a tendency to make my more mature skin look really good throughout the day. So that's one that I wanted to say, yeah, look at the difference, look at the difference in the pigment. But yeah, even if I go ahead and just tap that one out, you're still gonna see the color. It's so pretty, it's very saturated. I think that you will love that. Oh my goodness, I've had so many people ask me about this. I don't know what happened, but in the last year, it seems like there has been so many duds come out from Flower Beauty and it makes me sad because I wanna buy this stuff. I love this stuff that came out before. This is the color corrector that they came out with and I was really excited. I'm like digging in here. This in the pot is so, it is so hard in the pot. And then, so you get kinda get it warmed up with your finger and okay, maybe I can do that, but it is just not a good color. It's like yellow instead of peach. I mean, it looks really peach in here. You get it on your skin, it looks really yellow, but it was too dry for me and it just made everything look more dry underneath here and I can't have that. It's just, it's not a good look. So, Pixie By Petra for the win. This is not anything that's new to you guys. Very creamy and yet thick enough to do its job. If you get on the Pixie website, they do have a darker color for darker skin people. And I, this is the one that's brightening peach. I think that one's called Apricot or something like that. So you do want more of an orange if you're darker skinned. So this one, it just, you can see the difference. I hope you can see the difference in the two. You've got yellow or you've got peach, but yeah, that's my pick for a color corrector way over that new one from Flower Beauty. All right, I told you there was a bunch of concealers in this video and this one is from Pure. I got sent this. So this is how you know that I tried to be extremely truthful about my reviews. I got sent this when I first tried it. I was like, okay, you know, innovative.  It's not a twist. That was kind of cool. I liked the applicator. That was kind of cool. Even the coverage at first, I was like, that's gonna be good. Okay, so it's very almost serum-like. It's not super thick, but you can see that it has a pretty good amount of coverage, right? Okay, about an hour and a half, two hours into this, it was gone. It's just like, where did my concealer go? I mean, all of my darkness was showing through. Everything was looking gray and nasty and I was like, what? And so I tried it again like three or four more times and sure enough, it just does not last. And that was my problem. And the other thing is, is that if you try to tap this out even a second before it's ready to be tapped out, meaning it needs to sit down, it's gonna just disappear on you. It's also going to turn muddy. I had two colors, I think. Maybe three colors they sent me and every single one of them turned muddy. So I was like, I'm not into that. Sorry, when it goes under here, it better be perfection just about darn near. And here is the new one from Sephora, the best skin ever concealer. I'm impressed. I like this very much. This is gonna be a lot different color. However, this has that same serum-like feel, that really light feel when it goes on underneath there. But man, the coverage on this is so good. It's there all day. It looks like skin under there. There's no crinkling for me. It doesn't look like, you know, it's dried up partway during the day. It's so pretty. I just love it. I'm as excited about this as I was about, as I am about the foundation, just so good. I write another thing that I was sent and I was so excited about because I was like, I am on the bare minerals PR list. I was like freaking out. I was so excited and I, everything, I loved almost everything in that bag except for this. And this is the Mineralis Sunlit Palette. But okay, six colors. They look very pretty, right? I just started like trying to swatch these. I was like, okay, let's get this going. You know, and I'm really excited about it. And the shimmers in here were okay. Here's another shimmer, not the greatest. That's a greenish color. Oh my goodness. You can barely see that color. I just was really like, okay, this does not have enough pigment. It goes on very patchy and I'm very disappointed. And I was like, that just made me really sad. The one that I chose to substitute was one that was very much like it. So you have the elastic around it. But this is from the Sephora Collection and this is called the Pocket Palettes. And this is one is called the Cool Nudes. And it's what I have on today except for my liner on the bottom is an Urban Decay. I'll put it down below, which one it is. And I smudged it out. There's three mats in here. This one, this one, and this one. And again, remember when I just talked about things being buttery? Oh my word. These are so buttery. I love them. They're so pigmented. And then you get into these shimmers and wow. What I love the most about these shimmers is they're not super shimmers to where you can't wear them. They are the most wearable shimmers because they're like a pullback from a shimmer. They're not a metallic. They're not high beam. They're just kind of a cross between a mat and a shimmer. So you've got like a satin shimmery, a shimmery satin, no glitter, beautiful, beautiful colors. This color right here, this color right here, which is just a topi brown color. Look at that. So pretty. I really like these pocket bra. LA Girl had these glazed lip paints and they were supposed to be super intense color and gloss in one, right? Okay. When you get this out of the tube, you're thinking, okay, that's great. The problem is it's got like a slick quality to it.  But when you pat something like this out, you lose a lot of the glossiness to it. And that's where I ran into trouble. It wore very patchy as it wore off and I found that it wore off extremely quickly. But the Sephora Collection has these glosses that are called Glossed Gloss. And they are so pretty. This one is called Glam. Glam is a rose copper color that I immediately fell in love with. I do like these when they have just a little bit more of the shimmer in it. I shouldn't say shimmer because it's not shimmer. It's more of a metallic cast to it. I do like them when they have that. The next one that I'll just show you very quickly I have here with me is called Wild. This one doesn't have any shimmer or anything in it. It's very clear, but it has reflex of purple and pink in it. And so it will make any lipstick that you have on just super bright. And then the next one, this is probably my favorite one that they have. And this looks so funny in the tube. Doesn't it look funky? You're like, oh, that doesn't look good at all. So it has a cast of green and yellow and orange in there. And when I first was like, I don't know, but then I swatched it, I was like, ooh, baby. This is called Money. And it is the coolest color.   It looks terrible right there. It looks like gold and nasty, but it's so, so pretty on. Wow, I love that. And then they have a couple. Let's do this one first. This one's called Regal. And it's kind of like a very purple-y color. Again, that metallic and the high shine. So pretty. And then the last one I have is called Magic. Now, Magic does have a little bit of metallic reflex in it. I mean, teeny tiny amount, but it is a very high-pigmented one as well. And it's kind of like a plum color. They cling to the lips. I can get like two to four hours of wear out of them.  It's a gloss, but it's not that ticky-stacky. It's not that ticky-tacky. It's not that ticky-tacky-sticky gloss that we used to wear so much of.  I love this gloss.
