tired of the everyday routine ever dream of the life of romantic adventure want to get away from it all we offer you escape escape designed to free you from the four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure escape brought to you by the Richfield Oil Corporation of New York and the independent marketers of richfield gasoline's motor oils and other petroleum products look for the richfield eagle on the cream and blue pumps tonight we escape to the Nevada desert and the story of a foreign spy who sought to renounce the left arm and become once again an American citizen as hildegard teal had tells it in her exciting new novel the rim of terror starring miss Nancy Kelly I don't know why I gave him a lift even now with the terror gone like a half-remembered nightmare I can't be sure why I stopped the big Bentley convertible on that lonely road in Nevada and gave him a lift maybe because he looked so bedraggled standing there hatless in the rain by the side of the road maybe because he smiled grimly almost with a sneer that was a challenge I don't know anyway I slammed on the brakes and he walked slowly up to the car talk on my big chin up stiffened on the seat beside me quiet talk so you decided I don't look like too much of a risk I'm not at all please get in you you look very wet as a matter of fact I am very wet backseat or cool talk a listen how are you talking he's quite a dog I bet he could easily kill a man oh he's really quite well behaved and he wouldn't attack without orders you have made yourself quite clear impressive machine this I love it but I'm really not used to it yet I just got it last week you drive it very well thank you but I don't really where are we now I'd say about 25 miles east of Winamucka you're new to this part of the country yes and no I've never seen that view before it's breathtaking such such a difference from back home back home New England this is the first time I've ever been in the West and I love it the scenery is but this particular scenery doesn't appeal to me very much why not I'd say there's someone waiting for us down there look I looked and far below on the valley floor was a fork in the road and an abandoned building near it was a black speck that looked like a wagon and two smaller black specks that moved men no doubt though from here they look like ants I'd suggest slowing down not much though I expect they're watching us through field glasses who let me out here what this cut hides us from them stop the car I'm sorry our ride together must end so soon and don't be afraid and have your dog sit in the front seat and keep him there until you are safe in Winamucka I don't understand you know what a roadblock is a roadblock are the police after you not the police of this country just tell them you have not seen me and they'll pass you on all right goodbye thank you he turned and started climbing the steep bank at the side of the road he stopped halfway to the top and impatiently motioned me to go on I slipped the car into gear and suddenly I felt very much alone and scared I motioned talking to the front seat and started down the pass into the desert valley a couple of miles further the forks the road was blocked by a black delivery truck I was almost tempted to swing around it but the man in the plastic raincoat who held his hand up so casually didn't look dangerous at all so I came to a stop another man in a black raincoat was leaning against the truck trying to clean the mud from his shoes across the panel of the truck was a sign that read Nevada public opinion surveys Carson City I felt a little silly for feeling scared a moment before how do you miss we're making a traffic check yes mind answering a few questions only take a minute what do you want to know well now let's see where you from Vermont Vermont well I declare we don't get many tourists from Vermont you come all this way alone I don't suppose you'd count my dog as a passenger I guess not although I always say a dog the man or a woman's best friend nobody else with you no have you given any rides to hitchhiker no windshield I saw a man in the black raincoat reach into the van there was a smear of yellow paint on his raincoat and the letters on the neat sign were blurred it had been freshly painted in the painted rub off when he leaned against the sign a moment ago even if you've given somebody just a short ride we have to put it down it's for the statistical I'm sorry but I've lost too much time already I can't answer any more of your questions man in the black raincoat was beside the car now peering in over the interviewer's shoulder somebody's been sitting in the seat next to curly head there you can see where the seats wet let's quit stalling Mr. Slick shut up ma'am you can see for yourself you've had somebody sitting in that seat not very long ago my dog your dogs are dry as a bone man I'll search the trunk compartment maybe she's got her it got him hidden there you get her keys will you take your hands off the steering now ma'am just give me the keys I had no idea the Bentley had such power it leapt forward under the accelerators I swung it around clipping the front bumper of the delivery truck skidding across the wet road and throwing a sheet of liquid mud over the two men through the rear view mirror I could see them running up the road after me then stop and give up I shifted into fourth and headed back up the mountain at 80 miles an hour and then as I rounded a curve there he was again my passenger laboriously clamoring down the bank at the side of the road he waved to me when he heard the car and again I don't know why I stopped maybe it was the painful way he was limping maybe because his figure looked so tiny and alone and all that vastness maybe it was because I remembered the cruel blue eyes of the red-haired interviewer glouring bail from it bail fully behind his thick glasses anyway again I stopped backseat toggle get in I'm driving back to the main highway I can take you into town that way I would not have healed you only I twisted my ankle up oh I'm sorry I was watching from the hill what happened down there lose your nerve I'm I'm afraid I did after they saw the damp mark your suit had made and the man reached for the ignition keys I guess I lost my nerve where was the third man there wasn't one he must have been hiding was one of them redheaded with glass yes yes the the other one called him mr. Smith what's this all about who are they who are you I suppose I do owe you some kind of an explanation my driver's license and army discharge say I am Peter Whittleslay of Elco Nevada but they're very excellent for juries for juries oh yes you see I am or rather was a spy what yes I landed in San Francisco three days ago in the crew of a little Greek freighter mr.  Smith of course I suppose I didn't hear the gun go off over the sound of the motor do you believe me now maybe I do when you have been sent on a mission into a country by the left arm you're not supposed to change your mind and go over to the other side they don't like it the left arm what's that a fifth column well I suppose you could call it that how do you speak English so well if you're a foreigner sent over here by the by the left arm foreigner I was born right here in Nevada and this is the only way I could get back home no please don't make me get out take me to the nearest police station will you please I suppose it was my new England conscience or maybe just plain old curiosity or maybe well he was attractive on the twisting downgrade into Winemucca I learned his story how he'd been born in Nevada of Central European immigrant parents how he'd been taken back to their homeland when he was 11 how he'd fought the Germans with the partisans and after the war had been educated as an undercover agent by the left arm how he'd passed every test and resisted every temptation his teachers offered in his one desire to return home to America and believe me America is home I was born here and I want to work here and to die here do you do you think the police will believe you I don't know do you I well I want to but it's a pretty wild yarn it's true every word of it I know it is I I feel it is thank you and now tell me a little bit about you poor little rich girl don't don't let this beautiful car fool you it's the only extravagance I've ever indulged in in my life I must say when you decide to be extravagant you don't do it by halves there's the city hall police station must be there you can drop me here on the corner you won't waste any time getting through town then I don't even know your name to thank you it's Elizabeth White here I shall never forget it nor your face you're you're forgetting your code oh thank you my name is really Alex Peck I hope I shall see you again someday until then wish me luck I I do well good bye and thank you he turned and was gone limping across the courthouse square and I suddenly felt very much alone headed west once more for highway 45 and the straight road across Idaho and Oregon for Seattle then a few miles further talk will nudge my arm no no talk oh no we don't play when I'm driving no I glanced at him and slowed down he had a wallet in his mouth Alex's wallet it must have been dropped out of his coat as he left the car he'd need it it was part of the proof of his story I I swung the big Bentley into a side road whipped it into reverse and straightened out on the road back to Winamaka I let the car out 80 90 100 105 on one straight stretch and then then down to a cautious 55 as I entered the town limits until I pulled up before the police station in the basement of the courthouse stay talkal are you the officer in charge here I'm Sergeant Helding I'm looking for Mr. Alexander Peck I drove him here not more than a half hour ago Mr. Peck left his papers in my car I thought he might want them so I brought them back gone yep ma'am you don't know how lucky you were that fellow was lunatic lunatic sure his name is Peter Whittlesey from Elko nut here in the fruitcake he escaped from the Carson City asylum last night it came for him in the wagon a black panel truck that's right had Carson City State Asylum painted on the panel in fresh fresh paint pardon ma'am you've made a dreadful mistake that's the same truck that stopped me back at Indian forks it must be you're one of the most

had a kind face even if he was threatening to throw the book at me I told him the whole story every bit of it and he believed me and you will you will help me won't you that van can't go much faster than 50 55 miles an hour in my motorcycle and do close to a hundred we didn't run into the van coming into town from the north so I guess it's traveling along the highway south the Reno maybe to California I can catch it and stop it sure so what how do I know the guy isn't a lunatic and the van isn't on the level I got to have an identification you'd you'd like me to drive behind you if you can identify those guys it's the same guys who stopped you and tried to shoot you I got a case I'll make them waste they were never born let's go once outside the city limits the motorcycle leapt forward I held the Bentley at 60 until it was a half mile ahead of me and then I accelerated to keep the distance constant to come it had crept up far 4500 5000 6000 revolutions per minute the cars we passed were silent blurs respectfully pulling to one side at the peremptory scream of the motorcycle siren then down the shimmering surface of the road miles ahead of us appeared a lurching black speck it was the van the trooper wave designed for me to slow down and swung alongside the truck it was like watching a jerky movie from a great distance suddenly the motorcycle swerved away and the the trooper was firing his gun the van lurched into the ditch the motorcycle slithered across the road through the officer under the pavement the man in the black raincoat stepped down from the van and walked toward the fallen trooper stopped and and fired his gun and then and then the trooper raised his arm and fired the man in the black coat fell forward and caught his balance and then slumped to the ground like a puppet with a with a broken string I slipped into gear and drove up to the truck the man in the black raincoat was lying on his back staring sightlessly at the sky a little red hole in his forehead the trooper was sprawled out on the shoulder of the road a trickle of blood from his chest soaking into the sand another man was slumped against the wheel of the van they were all dead and neither of the two men from the truck was mr. smith neither had pinkish red hair mr. smith wasn't there mr. smith still lived to avenge and pursue but somebody else in the silent scene of death was alive somebody inside the truck scratching at the at the bolted door I I unlocked the black doors of the van and there he was there strapped in a straight jacket was Alex it was not until I'd untied him and had him safely out of the truck that I became faint it is all over this part at least there's no reason to shiver and shave I can't stop it's shock now let us pick up the pieces how did you get here I found your wallet go on make yourself talk you you dropped it in my car I thought you needed at the police station are you well enough to drive that machine of yours I I think so where that depends on what happened to mr. smith where is he I thought he was in the truck no have you seen him and since he stopped the car this morning at Indian forks where where do you think he is I have not the slightest idea but he's looking for us you may be sure we've got to get away from here all right all right I'm ready come on wait a minute what happened to you he pointed to my jacket it was splotched with a deep red stain blood no no I don't think so the cans of paint in the back of the truck when you untied me you must have spilled one take it off why do you want people to ask questions here get in start the motor give me that jacket what are you going to do ditch it there's a car coming let's go good it's in a dip a couple of miles back they did not see us my mother knit that jacket for me good and you know where you can have it replaced where are you headed we'll drive straight through to Seattle Seattle's too far no no now listen my friend in Seattle Charles Matthews he'll know what to do he has he has connections even in Washington he may not be too willing to help me under the circumstances I could hardly blame him Charles is bigger than that I wonder two hours later we were 120 miles nearer Seattle and filling the gas tank at a lonely motor court set in a clump of scraggly pines sure is a thirsty bus took 22 gallons yes it was nearly empty that'll be 528 will you cash your travelers check oh sure all right just a minute Alec my travelers checks they were pinned inside my jacket the jacket you threw away we'll have to go back do you have any idea what that piece of road will be like now half the population of Winimucket driving out to see where the gun battle occurred Alec that's all the money I have in the world you can stop payment on them you can get your money back now right now I've only got a dollar and 75 let me see what I have in my pocket two silver dollars a lot of chicken feet yes we can make it with half a dollar to spare here you are madam thank you come again how are we going to get to Seattle on 50 cents the moment I have not got this lightest idea please thankful of gasoline won't take us half the way you could phone your boyfriend collect and tell him we are strapped and ask him to wire you some money I couldn't ask Charles for money why not we you wouldn't understand if you don't want to ask him for money don't I'll figure something out like robbing a bank maybe with your training that shouldn't be too difficult perhaps I'm sorry that was unkind of me why do you suppose we're bickering like this I haven't this slightest idea haven't you no neither of I pay at Idaho was the first big town it was dark when we got there Alec told me to pull up in front of the hotel you can get a room and a hot bath while you're putting in your call to charge I can't get a room for 50 cents look across the street that's what I've been looking for what a pawn shop my watch should be good for a few dollars it's Swiss international currency you know Swiss watches now beat it get a bath I'll take torcal with me and call you in your room in half an hour come on torcal the hotel clerk showed me to a room in the second floor it wasn't a very quiet room on the corner beneath my window the people of piet was celebrating old timers day they'd set up a kangaroo court and were trying their fellow townsmen who failed to cooperate by refusing to raise beards and wear pioneer clothes but I couldn't waste time watching the fun I had to get through to Charles I I placed the call and started the bathwater running when there was a knock on the door who is it as I unbolted the door I happened to glance into the bathroom there on the rack above the tub fluffy and white were my towels I tried to push the door shut but it was too late Mr. Smith showed it into the room I I started to shout for help but the sound never came he hit me in the pit of the stomach with his fist and I I fell across the bed gasping for breath as the phone started to ring I I couldn't move I couldn't make a sound I lay there with the wind knocked out of me watching Mr. Smith as he picked up the receiver hello how much today just a minute I'll ask my wife she says to cancel the call we'll try later thank you now young lady no monkey business you try to yell now cut off your win for good you too you and peck have caused me a good deal of trouble I had a lot of trouble finding you should not have done that did you find us the left arm never fails where's peck I don't know you're lying I have plenty of time I'll wait for him here he should return for you I had to get to Alex I had to warn him the bathroom door was open Smith was holding my arm but for a moment he relaxed his grip I swung away from him and threw myself into the bathroom pulling the door shut and locking it I expected him to shoot through the door and I ran to the window ready to jump but it wasn't necessary there was a rickety fire escape I crawled through and ran down the shaky steel stairs dropped six feet to the mud and ran around the corner of the building toward the old time as kangaroo caught on the corner and there was Smith coming toward me through the crowd he reached out his hand for me I I whirled around and shouted my way through the crowd at the table where the where the man was sitting with the microphone please please please help me oh hello there miss give me your microphone now just a minute miss you can't interrupt this please it's a matter of life for death Alex stay where you are they found me and then and then Smith came for me he and a and a big man with a beard and then and then a tawny street tore through the crowd talk and talk lay there quiet man dog that dog I tried to bend over him but I knew it was no use he was dead and Smith had me now holding me I told her that dog was sick your dog yes to see her you think my wife cared more for the dog than she did for me I told her a dozen times that don't let me go I'm not your wife listen to me please you people this man he's a he's a spy he's a monster he's trying to kill me listen to her go on folks listen to her drunk that's

The following is a presentation of TFNN. The TFNN Bull Bear Training Hour. Every training day, live at 10 a.m. Eastern. Call now, toll free at<PHONE_NUMBER> or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The TFNN Bull Bear Training Hour. Now, Tom Antt, Tommy O'Brien. Welcome folks, appreciate your growl and problem with us out here. We have in our industry up 61 Nasdaqs, up 12. S&Ps are up two and a half. Gold, gold's down $20.90 at $14.90 an ounce there. Slamming gold as well as silver. Silver's down 39 cents. $17.67. Light sweet crude up 63 cents. $57.17 a barrel. Notes and bonds, you get the 10-year down 21.6, $128.29 a 30-year off a point and a half at $157.28. They both are going after their September 13th swing lows. We'll see whether they want to bust those through. And King dollar, King dollar up $126. That was up $367 yesterday, so it's catching a bid $97.924. The year is at $110. The yen is at $109. And the pound is at $128.01 a U.S. dollar. So a little action out here this morning, right? Oh, it doesn't stop, man. Just even at 10 o'clock when I came on the air, right? We got the ISM non-manufacturing, that beating estimate. So you got a little bit of a pop in the market as that happened for sure. Yes. But everything going on for sure. And some of the high-evolve inequities. We've got some big names out here today. Borrowed Chesapeake Energy, they weren't there. They basically filed one of the files of the SEC saying that they think, well, that they are going to have a hard time going in concern in the future. So it's always, it was trading $156 anyway. It's down to $0.20. Yeah. $136. Uber, let's go take a look at Uber. Yeah. They lost a billion dollars, right? They lost. I believe so. So let's take a look. So you got Uber, the low is $28.31. And we hit $28.42 today. Yeah. It's $29. This thing, what was it, $45? Pull up that issue. I'm curious myself. I think it might have been higher. $45, OK. Yeah. Well, I think that's right. That's the one that just printed it, $45. Lyft was the one that... Yeah, traded by her initially, because they were the first IPO of the two. Exactly. The market woke up by the time Uber pushed their shares out.  So there's some numbers. They had seen a loss for the year of $3 billion to $3.2. Oh, my God. Yeah. Now they see $2.8 to $2.9. Yeah, big numbers, man. There's no doubt. Gross bookings, third quarter gross bookings, $16.5 billion. That's a big number, right? That's for sure. Uber eats bookings. They had seen $3.89. Now there are $3.66. OK. Ride-sharing bookings. They were estimate $12.51 or $12.55. Yeah. That's a big miss on the Uber eats, man. It is. That's almost, you know, $250 million over 90 days that they missed there. Right. And so I wonder who is coming into them. Yeah. Door-dash, Grubhub. Yeah. I've used Door-dash a few more times. Here's a special case. Yeah, then Uber. Oh, I know. That's right, because I don't have an Uber account. Yeah. Not quite a fair comparison. Oh, my God. We'll just laugh that one away. Yeah, no doubt. Let's go over to our man, Mr. Kevin Hicks, a TD Ameritrade thinker swim. And don't forget, folks, every trading day right here, 11 to 12 Eastern Standard Time, you want to understand options, options strategies, futures, great program, every trading day. Kevin Hicks, what's going on? Hello, Tom O'Brien. Hello, Tommy O'Brien. How's everything going? Morning, Kevin. Great. Great to hear from you, man. And you know... It's good to be heard from. That's a beautiful thing. That's right, man.  Yeah. You know, where... We just went red. What happened, man? We're going red, but the bottom line was a great number, man. Yeah, it was. I mean, that's a big... That's a good number. Non-manufacturing, beaten estimates, growth, yeah. Right. And I saw much of the discussion for the last month in this economy has been, well, the consumer's healthy, but manufacturing is dropping off, right? Yeah. And people are starting to hesitate on future plans for the economy. Well, you know, I think the GDP number, I think the payroll number that came out last week, both of those said that the U.S. consumer is still there and strong. And something's got to snap back, right? When the U.S. keeps consuming and we stop manufacturing or slow down manufacturing, that's a divergence. Yes. And something has to snap back. So these numbers coming in at nice healthy beats and ISM non-manufacturing, you know, that means that the pipeline is, you know, the... These are... We're in the, I think the middle of a pretty nice, strong relief rally here. You can see it in the bond market. You can see it in the gold market. And I think people are starting to look at this economy in a different light than they did just 30 or 60 days ago. Yeah.  I see it everywhere I look at, like, you know, people have jobs and they're working. Right. And I don't believe that people are over the head in debt. I mean, I just don't see it. Do you know what I'm saying? You know, credit cards are credit cards. The school loan deals is a big deal. But other than that, it's not... This is certainly not like it was in 2005 and six that, you know, people will hawk in their houses to get a boat. I mean, it wasn't not even close to that. Do you know what I mean? Right. And there's so many good things going on with this economy. Number one, the middle class has more money in their pocket via tax cuts, via lower gas prices. Those are all just disposable income in people's pockets. I mean, the red book number this morning, which, you know, that gauges that weekly increase in chain store sales and malls and things like that, up five and a half percent. Yeah. So the U.S. consumer is still out there and going. And now we're going into Christmas holiday season with the potential for a partial trade deal about to be signed. I thought the news on the trade deal this morning tells me when I read between what we're getting into the minutiae of this trade deal and they're about to sign it. Yeah. And we're at the time of the year that you're going to spend money, whether you want to spend money or not. You better have those presents ready. Santa's coming. Let's go. Yeah. Exactly. You know what I mean? So I think, you know, as long as this market is getting to a point now, guys, where good news is good news. And I'm not even sure bad news is bad news. Bad news might be good news, but these bonds are telling us something. Yeah. So pretty two-day, you know, harsh sell-off in the bonds. And although gold didn't participate yesterday, it sure is participating today. What does that mean? When you get lower bonds and higher yields, bank stocks, financials are all higher, utilities in real estate are all lower. Yeah.  They're going after the September 13 swing area. So we'll see how that shakes out. Yeah. We're at $116 and the $10 and we're at $128, $27. Yeah. You know, you brought up something that I think is really, we get so used to it now. Oil. I mean, these oil prices have stayed low for a long period of time for all of us right now, which is really cool. Because everything, I mean, that's something that we do at least once a week. Can't avoid the gas bonds, man. No, you can't. Right. And that is, you know, I think personally my view on lower crude oil prices is that's inflationary because that's more spending money in your pocket each week. Yeah. If you're, you know, the difference between $2.30 a gallon or $2.40 and $3, that's a significant amount of money in your pocket every month. It's every week, like you said. It really is. Yeah. Exactly. No doubt. Folks, right here, 45 minutes from now, outstanding program. Kevin, we look forward to the program. 45 minutes. You have a great one and a safe one. Great talking to you guys. Thanks for having me out. You too, Kevin. Stay right there folks. Tommy and I are coming right back.

And let's go take a look at some of the there's a couple of these equities that I just really getting toasted out here. Besides Uber. Yeah, one of the biotechs out here. I saw it looks like it was down about 50%. There you go. Myriad number 12. This thing. So what happened here? So it's only 35% man. I say it's pretty intense. Those biotechs man. My goodness. Let's see. This is they develop market molecular diagnostic products provide physicians with information to help guide the care of patients prevent diseases. Yeah. Bottom line is this. Yeah. So they work to detect which diseases folks might develop based on their genes. Oh, genetic testing. Okay. But let's see how that testing is faring right. Let's see what they say. So something's happening. Oh earnings. Boom. Okay. Let's see what they got going on here. It's quite a haircut man. Oh boy. Yeah. Let's see. They got price targets all over the place. So this is going to be their analyst. Let me just jump back here and select the second one. Earnings per share view. Mrs. Low estimate. Here we go. So wow. Fiscal year adjusted. Now they're looking at a buck to buck 10. They had seen a buck 80 to buck 90. Okay. Make sense. For the quarter they came in at 30. That's the second quarter. So looking that's forward guidance 30 to 32. They were looking for 47. Revenue wise. Pretty close to in line. You know they only missed 210 to 212. So it looks like they're just missing and then fiscal year revenue. 8 to 810. They were looking at 865 to 875. And yeah the first quarter they just missed huge in terms of 8 cents. Last year they made 43. The estimate was 33. Let's take a look at this baby. That is one hit man. Oh my goodness. You want some volatility. This is the second gap. Well this could be trouble in paradise. Look at that. Whoa. Okay. So we're looking at folks. Okay. Is that there's a gap. Let's see. That would be August of last year. No this this year. Yeah. So this is what happened there. That's probably the last earnings. Well now I the only reason I'd say is because they they have a almost a gap positive in the early August. So yeah they went somehow they went from 28 to 46. August 1st. That's a daily. August 1st. And then didn't last long. Within two weeks August 14th you open back up and then you're traded down to a low of 22 bucks. Right. Which you're now under. And then well yeah the bottom of the consolidation is 18. There's no reason to can't go to 18. MYGN. Can I jump over. So this is why we'll give our sponsors think or swim a quick plug man because you got to love on their charts. You can see exactly where everything is right. Let's see if that correlates to we'll put it on a daily their earnings. And okay so they must have a promise of good things to come but then guess what the day they dropped was their earnings not the day that they came out. Wow. So yeah that drop was their last earnings pretty remarkable and then somehow without earnings you fade all the way from 22 back up to 35. I know.  It is. So let's look at this note and bond market. So you know looking at this folks okay the bottom line is that you are coming in for a test and you're coming in for a test with dramatically lighter volume. So it's going to be intriguing to see if in fact the price holds. So you're down 19 ticks which you know they're at a lows right here. You're going into 2.4 million contracts now we're at 1.6 so we can definitely do 2. And this is a big day out here. There's no doubt about it. If we take a look at the 30 USZ 9 it's the exact same type of setup. Give it a give it a second to catch up here. Yeah we might have jammed up that one screen. The market saying hey yeah let's just pull a different one over. Sometimes one of them just get caught. Let's see if this one will cooperate. Go for it. So 30 right now has done 182,000 contracts which is big contract volume but I believe we're going into 400 and something. And was that it was September 13th was that a fed day that that date might stick out in my head. I don't know. Yeah I don't know. It was something. What that was doing there too also is that was still going into the strength going all the way back to August. So the thing held goes top side again. Last time we tested it we tested it dramatically lighter volume. Okay this time you got the heavy volume happening. Gold same setup now it's going to get interesting with gold because 20 bucks is a big deal there's no doubt about that. That being said though your swing point is a lot lower than where we are right now. We're down 22 now at $1489. And this is coming. You got one swing point $1478 and 486,000 contracts. Your swing actually is at $1465. The last low is $1483. That's $353. Well this is going to be it looks to me like it's going to be let's see what's CRC out here. California Resource Corporation. I think they're just talking about the poppets had since that low. I see a few days. So there's you know the IWM so the small caps folks the small caps were looking to reach their high now they haven't reached their high yet. I know a couple of tigers are thinking there's a breakout in there but you're going to see this is a little bit higher. You got a last six months. It's 1618. 39. You know he got over these though got over the last two. Important area for sure right where it's at. There's no doubt man this is if we go to the IWM and we take a look at the IWM what you're going to see is that you know bottom line you got up to 164.6 I think it's 161.11 or something 161.11 yeah of May of 2019. Okay and what's going to get interesting here is this I want to see this hit this because what seems to happen is that you don't get you know the small cap was so much further away from its highs right in fact no that's not even its highs that's because it's still July so that's I was just going to say it's almost like the small caps go to catch up with the rest of the market before you actually get a pullback but that August high is not even its high because it's July and it's a lot higher than that inside the small caps. Can we pull it up just to see if it's curious how much higher as we go into this break because this is what is like that divergence was pretty intense out here. Yeah there we go okay 1742 it's 140 points that's a good solid eight nine percent from where we're at yeah I know if you have to wait for that man where's the S&P gonna be if the Russell gets up there exactly exactly stay right there folks Tommy and I are coming right back our phone numbers eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight we have it out 21 now it's down three S&P's are free coming right back.

mark and bedford mass what's going on brother now much how are you guys doing going great mark morning tommy so so tom gold sank what what's up with gold is selling it off obviously yeah but usually that means that the that the world has come to peace and uh that everyone's going to go have uh the last supper tonight and uh everyone's going to have a good time at the uh ye'll be for nails yeah uh you know i've i'm not in the in the camp that just because things go south that gold goes up i mean we've talked about this before man when everything went south in 2007 gold went south too you know what i mean so that's that's that's not the correlation the correlation you know does go over to the dollar there's no doubt about that yeah you know the the dollar bottom line is quite a day yeah and it's quite the two days yeah and then well and then let's look at the yen too because that means the yen is going to try to probably go after the 109 again see this yen is looking out yeah there it is okay so the number in the yen is that 109 32 we made 109 20 not 29 last week and you know here's my question i was thinking this morning when i saw what gold did i normally don't play the metals but i was thinking of buying nugget on a bounce okay so let's take a look at it let me just let this computer catch up me for a second i knew gt so you get the nugget then the nugget folks is the direction daily gold mine is three times levered product so you're 2754 okay so you're down two bucks you got six million shares now i'm going to go over to the gdx because they trade this trades off the gdx also so the gdx is the market vector is gold wanting trust yeah i you know i mean as long as you're traded um i'd wait a little bit longer and see if it can it'd be great if the like see right now the gdx there's still no seller 16 million shares they're coming into 82 million so what would be cool mark is that if it could get just get a little bit lower um yeah it doesn't look like it's gone though one second i know so even one of the reasons that i had when i was talking about that you got gold's down 20 dollars it's down 20 dollars but guess what you're not you're still you're not at these major swing points you know so it's really to me it's just a test just like just like the um aspect of the the bonds if i go over to the tenure again like when i look at this tenure i'm still bullish on this tenure bond man um you know fast move no doubt but that's what they like to do you know so the 10 years at 128 29 we got to 128 27 and that's even at 128 27 that'll get you 11 ticks away from the swing low you know we go back to the nugget i think i mean if you're going to basically trade this thing right now wouldn't be a bad place to trade in just put a stop uh you know under the law out here today all right i take about that so you get here let's let's look at the two largest so the the two largest weightings inside there is going to be numont oh oh that's interesting look at that they really smoked numon but okay that's interesting so numon just went from 38 96 to 36 64 yeah and then barric you know barric's under a low but there's not selling into numons to move them can we go into the news on numont and see if there's something because that is volatility even on a day where gold's down 20 dollars yeah exactly so cuts their fiscal year gold production there you go so they're dealing with some woes as well right so here's my 75 thousand dollar question which i asked you a month ago tom are you i know you're bearish on the market and bullish on gold anyone who has written the tunnel buying for last year should know those two rules anyway but are you more bearish on the market or more bullish on gold i'm more bullish bullish on gold okay yeah yeah in a big way in a big way yeah and that has to do it has to do with the aspect that you know we get the dollar at highs the euros at lows the pounds at lows the yen basically is in the middle but my take is that the the euro is going to go higher the pound's going to go higher and then if it's a fundamental deal like this go back to the aspect that how many tons of dirt it takes to get an ounce of gold and i like that positioning you know and the positioning of the central banks the central banks keep buying hand over fist they buy they're buying more than the retailer buying so it's like okay man you know we all keep wondering why they you know even our own fed gets down on rates when we're at all-time highs well you know i don't have an answer to that but i don't think anyone else does either yeah do you know what i mean we'll see if they're right in the next year right yeah because it's like okay you know it's kind of this is kind of an interesting article so look so look at this paul tutta-jones okay which is he's a you know an iconic you know inside the trading business he's saying out here this morning that he's never seen in his trading career um that says though paul tutta-jones the billionaire hedge fund manager said efforts to simulate global economies are both inequities in a way he's never seen before and he's right you know what i mean is it you know there's there's not they used to always be a monitor that you knew that the fed was going to take the punchbowl away at some particular point because the cost of money right but it seems now that you know just like people you know eight years ago worried about a deficit now people don't want you know i don't have to don't worry about a deficit they don't talk about a deficit you know and and the aspect of taking the punchbowl away that's like a heresy saying that you know they're going to stop sure any economy from going forward so interesting part of there so he's with um ray dalio yeah at the Greenwich economic form in connecticut dalio said that another effect of the low rates is that investors are more willing to listen to companies selling ambitions rather than making a profit quote unquote because the world is looking for a yield or something companies also can sell dreams rather than earnings i believe this is dalio saying so the number of companies that produce earnings is the lowest since the dot-com bubble in terms of their need because you can sell the dream that's that's pretty interesting too i'm not sure if that says bullish as uh tutta-jones is no it's not it's not it's definitely not yeah you know so hey the time will tell where do you stand in the metals market mark what do you think i'm not in it i usually like i said in the beginning of the call i usually don't um i see playing play playing the um playing metals you know i usually just do the equity yeah with the drop in gold today i like i was curious not good so um yeah you know i i i said maybe this is an opportunity to pick up not a lot you know just a little yeah 23 dollars is a big move to the downside man you start reaching those uh you know one time two time average standard deviation of a move and you might get a bounce even if yeah because that's exactly yeah it's really i'll watch it for the next day see if it comes out a couple days thanks guys thanks mark have a great one man take care man stay right there folks Tommy and i come right back if you're in the cd market and looking for a secure investment the tiger first mortgage program may work for you the security for these

tiger tv that's tfnn.com then hit watch tiger tv for the latest market information so now that was a 19 that's it's down four sps are off four and a half and let's go take a look at this rate structure yeah pretty interesting as they're talking about uh futures showing first fully priced in fed cut pushed back to 2021 so traders dial back their bets on federal reserve easing tuesday after stronger than expected reading on a key services gauge that was the ism non-manufacturing right at 10 am fed fund futures now show a quarter point cut in the central bank benchmark not fully priced in until the beginning of 2021 on market on monday the market was fully priced for such a move by october of 2020 um and i wonder how they three months right yeah i wonder how if this is updating or if these um i believe they're updating all the time during the day for sure yeah because when i'm on the afternoon they're different than the morning i just wonder where so we're sitting right now at 1.5 to 1.75 looking at the fed funds implied probabilities number this is the probability that we're going to be at where we are right now so that would be no cut whatsoever right the column to the left is one quarter basis cut okay so we have a meeting coming up december 11th 91 chance the fed does nothing we have a meeting coming up in january 74 chance they do nothing so almost a three to one favorite they stay 25 chance they cut it starts to get a little interesting when you start getting into march april june july july the first meeting that you actually have a greater than 50 chance that there will be a cut and that is a combined whether it's 25 basis points by then being a 38.5 percent chance or 13.1 only a 45.9 percent chance that you actually stay where you're at and then when you zoom this down a little bit when you start to get down to here's your december here's your january i mean you're looking at about a 60 40 chance that you get a cut as you get into really though september so i wonder how they're they're pricing that in for that article you know it's wild too looking at this is that do you remember when we flipped from a hike to a cut yeah and then the hikes are still zero folks okay and this is the chart that you look at right the the probability of a hike is the white bar and it was all but assured now this is for the december meeting again the probability of a hike for the december 19 2019 meeting was at almost like a 100 percent chance in may and then talk about an inversion of that's amazing yeah no change and there was not three cuts since then i believe so yeah unreal yeah definitely wow the world changes quickly right that's that is a fast change there's there's no two ways about that yeah that is one fast change we're gonna take a look at the uh let's go over that that oil market so that that you had chesapeake energy well chesapeake is i believe it's they're big in gas too that's what that's i i think yeah okay so chesapeake energy tumbled after the u.s natural gas produced a post they're wired and expect a third quarter loss instead it may not be able to continue as a going concern if depressed oil and gas prices persist so let me just what is that c chk chk and what i've read in this article folks so what it is is that all these companies of course you know have debt and look at this chest so chesapeake was $69 in 2008 it was $34 in 2011 it was $29 in 2014 yeah and you can just see trails away definitely so what happens here is that they have a huge amount of debt and that going concern though is that let's say that you're the bank and you're lending me the money well this parameters are that you know you have to have taken in so much money sure the bottom line is that they're outside of that now that's what's going on okay they can they can't keep up with what the banks want them to keep up with okay that's what's going on inside of that uh i was just looking at where they're at i mean three-year growth right big problems and look at from 2015 even revenue it makes sense gas prices 12.8 billion in 2015 they're now sitting at 8.6 billion in 2020 and i imagine these negative numbers are the dramatic concern if you're sitting with a boatload of debt yeah and you're not able and you're still losing more money um that's where things can get and let's go look at natural gas right now so this has been just a horrible market for anyone that is in the natural gas business so we're 287 okay and and the charts taking this time it is and i believe you know we're almost down to the two dollar level so there's no doubt that it's come back a bit from from that level but yeah just like anything else you know yeah it's not cooperating let's see if we pull up on a different one a lot going on in the market today is this thing tries and keeps up natural gas we're gonna have to give this computer a refresher i think yeah it's not it's not cooperating yeah natural gas not cooperating period right yeah traders would agree with that one i'm telling you man that's pretty intense and in general you know we'll we just had the dalgo uh south yeah all the markets read i mean what would have happened if we got a bad uh ism non-manufacturing number we got a we got a crushing number markets popped on that 10 a.m and we're now trailing back i mean we were coming in with a solid gain pre-market we get a boost with some solid fundamental numbers at 10 a.m and we're negative for the day yeah it's going to be really intriguing to see whether these bonds can move as well as gold meaning you know reject lower price out here because in both cases folks you haven't hit the lowest swing point yet and you know gold hit 1486 or 1489 you know no there's certainly not a bounce yet but bottom line is that uh we'll see how this shakes out in the next few hours yeah you know because with window dressing is over i mean but the way that the market was even trading this morning i'm saying to myself it's gonna be a market that wants to go up three or four points every day for a while you know what i mean yeah maybe not so much though man we're now at s and p's we're 15 points off the highs that we had almost i think in the uh then the futures that's a big number yeah it's particularly a big number because what happens is that when you do go on a streak on a trend like we have every day like slightly higher slightly higher slightly higher sure you can see people that will pile on and then all of a a sudden of the oh what do you mean how do we turn red well especially when there was no news to push it red i mean we got yeah the high 3085 75 so we're almost 15 points off that high and if you drill things down man i mean look at that 10 a.m pop yeah that we got up to back to 3082 and by the end of the bar we're near 3075 we're now five points below that level so you could see that fade throughout the day if that's the beginning of a little bit of a slide on uh selling selling the news right yep and you know it's going to come out tomorrow folks in japan it's going to be uh south bank oh oh tomorrow's wednesday right it sure is yeah so wednesday also we'll know tomorrow it's because it's tonight okay wednesday it's tonight in japan so that that number comes out tonight this is okay yeah mark it's going to be waiting to see okay how much of a write down does he have to take they're going to have to mark it right right if they put that money into we work right eight billion bucks right there it is stay right there folks time and i'll come

so i wouldn't expect him to have a huge amount of shares but he sold all the shares uh in may uh so in may uh yeah he sold his entire stake in may that he accumulated since he started at mcdonalds 2015 roughly 10,900 shares he also exercised almost 27,900 options and liquidated that holding transactions netted him 4.44 million dollars before taxes um pretty interesting stuff you know and it's it was completely unforeseen so that's part of the reason why that they have somebody at the helm that doesn't have that i'm not sure if they'll put in a contract that maybe gives him a better vested interest in the price of the shares as they usually try to do right um but nonetheless as of right now no shares for the ceo of the biggest uh i'm trying to oh this this may right there may or 200 189 right now i mean you can see though i mean when he comes right i mean you know just to back it up a little bit further that's yeah i mean you know 4.45 million dollars i mean that's that's most of the time enough money to live off wealthy for the rest of your life yes and so you know cash in man and you still enjoy your job you make a living you you know you use your future earnings and no matter what happens nobody can take that money away from you man no no i can yeah and maybe he thought it was time to diversify away from mcdonalds which would be interesting in light of the fact that he just got put at the helm now he's gonna happen because if he really believed that it was in good position to trade higher no need to do that man you could always borrow against that position or something like that if you wanted to or so and you'll you'll you'll miss the high i mean if it's 189 the highest two something you can't go wrong when you're getting those positions at 100 he's still making a very healthy salary i'm sure right on top of that yeah stay right there folks to get that thickest one coming up next i'm at mr kevin then basal chatman steve roadstay white i'll be back this afternoon thanks pal thanks man


So I have a lot of New York agents to follow me.  What would you say to those people? Cause there's a lot of them watching right now.  What do you, how do you succeed in that environment? The best part about sales and the best part about real estate sales, especially in cities like New York, is you can just forget about the competition. It's who you meet today. Your number one focus all day long should just be increasing your Rolodex, right? Expanding your network and meeting more people, even if those more people are just brokers, right? Even if they're just the mailman and four cleaning ladies, as long as you meet a handful of people every day and you're adding them to your database and you're sending them your newsletter and you're touching base with them on social, that group will give you transactions.  That becomes your warm sphere of influence. And it's really, really important and you can do that in New York City.  Like then go to the street. Like go out to the street, go to Starbucks, go to the deli, don't introduce yourself to people, take 100 cards and don't come in until you give them out. Like when I first came to New York, I wasn't in real estate, but I couldn't afford a gym membership and there's a really expensive gym on the Upper East Side. And I got to work out there for free in exchange for being a flyer guy. There's a 63rd and Lex Equinox. And so I would take flyers for Equinox to get people to sign up for the gym. And I would stand on the corner of 63rd and Lex, 62nd and Park and I would pass out flyers. And so it just sort of was normal to me when I got into real estate to do the same thing with business cards.  People aren't gonna buy or sell? Okay, well, great. Then I'm exactly where I started right now and just meet new people. No, it's pretty classic for agents to say, I'm not selling anything and I'm down on sales and everything else, but they're certainly not making calls or talking to anybody, you know? Yeah, I mean, it's like, in this business, you don't have to wait for someone to tell you what to do. There's always work to do. There's always work to do. There's always... I'm a huge component of it. It's totally unlimited for every agent. There's an unlimited amount of loyal clients for every single agent, more than you could ever do in your life. If you could work 24 seven, the rest of your life and everyone scratch the surface for the work that needs to be done. Cause to me, it's all about creating the relationships. If they wanna buy or not, you build the relationships, you build your database. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure. For sure.
