Sports news now. Flamingos head coach Ben Coley, Oluwakere has expressed happiness after leading the Nigerian team to Thetli's finish at the 2022 on the 17th FIFA Women's World Cup in India. Despite surrendering a 3-0 lead against Germany in Sunday's Thetli's March, the Flamingos went on to win 3-2 in penalties. The Germans came from behind to win T1 when both teams clashed in the group stage of the tournament. It is the first time the Flamingos will finish on the podium since making their debut at the maiden edition in 2008. Speaking of the Thetli's playoff, the coach thanked Nigerians for their support. At that moment, Germany equalized and the time was already going. It was as it turned out. Who was running to your mind? Winners are going to be the winners.

The Nigerian communications satellite says it is now strategically positioned than ever before to meet the five critical pillars set by the federal government to build a strong digital economy. The manager-director of Naikom Satt, Nkechi Egartin Idehe, says these while briefing newsmen and leaders since appointment by President Bola Tinibu. Egartin Idehe believes Naikom Satt Ltd is poised to increase its relevance and drive while delivering the mandate of its ministry's blueprint. Despite the ever-changing landscape, the Naikom Satt boss said she will ensure that the company works creating a technology roadmap that is relevant to the market. How technology has evolved, we have things like new satellites, AI, there are all forms of things that are driving technology and it's important for us as the key infrastructure provider when it comes to satellite in Nigeria to remain relevant even for the masses we serve. So without saying much it is important and hopefully in the next few months and weeks you would understand why we are striking that balance to see that it's important that we innovate and remain innovative so we'll share more later. I promise you that in the short future if there's any word like that you're going to see a lot of changes. So just keep your fingers crossed and be hopeful that things are going to change for the better for Nigeria, for Naikom Satt and all of us. The Naikom Satt CEO so expressed commitment to raise and aid competitiveness with emerging technology. It's a thing of pride that if the four countries in Africa, really about ten of them have satellite in space and we were the one of the very few ones that did belong to satellite in space, the journalist in 2007. So I think it's a thing of national pride even when you go and she because not every country can afford to do it it's a massive project and we've kept it running for over 15 years. So definitely that is a massive project we have undertaken, it's a thing of pride and we love to see it continue.

It's a shocking video, a gun pointed point blank at the face of Cristina Fernandez de Castro, Argentina's vice president. The assassin pulls the trigger, the gun somehow jams, and one of Argentina's most popular politicians miraculously survives. There's been a wave of international condemnation, outrage ever since this shocking incident of an assassination attempt. But this is not just one isolated instance. This is part of a larger campaign that has been taking place against her and also is tied into the politics of Latin America as a whole. We'll be discussing all this in this episode of Mapping Portlines. We are joined by Praveel Prakash. Praveel, so of course the visual, the video itself is like I said really shocking. I mean, it's incredible how close Cristina came to being assassinated and her survival is really, many people have called it miraculous. Leaders across Latin America have expressed outrage, have called for investigations. Many have pointed out the fact that the assassin is clearly a very right-wing person. But this is also like I said in the context of a much more larger campaign that has been going on against her. There's been a lot of hate, a lot of allegation, a lot of media outrage that has been, you know, that is being fueled against her right now. So could you maybe take us through the situation generally in Argentina and then we can move on to the larger regional dimension as a whole. You know, Argentina has a long history of right-wing governments. In fact, we had military governments which are right-wing, which had assassinated, killed, disappeared a number of activists, particularly of the left. We had children who were taken away from families, there's a whole movement on that against army officers having disposed of the parents, quote-unquote adopting for themselves. Those who are childless, the children of such families. So that history has been there for Argentina and it's not that it's very different from the histories that have taken place, for instance, of the military regimes in Chile, in Brazil, various other Latin American countries, Colombia, so Mexico for instance. So there is a commonality of right-wing military dictatorships in the 60s, 70s, 80s, democratic pushbacks at certain points of time, reoccurrence of the right and again pushbacks. So what we seem to be seeing at the moment is a pushback by the left and that's what we saw in Argentina, we've seen in Chile.  And the president, Alberto Fernandez, has taken a huge loan from the IMF, which actually Kirchner had opposed, the vice president opposed, the president has led that loan that has been taken and obviously an IMF, as you know, is a stern face of imperialism. So what immediately happens is the workers feel the brunt of it, the prices go up, capital is benefited, it stabilizes, but at the expense of the common man. So this is the way it has been done at the moment and that of course is one of the reasons the vice president, she has been on the offensive, Kirchner has been on the offensive on this and it is because of that also, the left has mobilized with her, she has been a very, shall we say, a radical figure in Argentinian politics, so she has mobilized a lot of the left, the large part of the left would be with her. So I think because of this, she is also the obvious target of the right. The interesting part of this assassination attempt, the person seems to be somebody who is very much a part of a kind of fringe right in Europe, because apparently he has the swastika, he has the black sun, essentially Nazi symbols, which are all the symbols of the as of battalion in Ukraine. So kind of right wing forces, which are really white supremist forces in Europe and it seems there is a resonance between them and of course a certain kind of white supremist forces in the United States, as well now as you can see in Latin America, this being one of the examples, but a certain part of this is also Brazil and let's not forget this person is also from Brazil. So it seems that there is this fringe right, I'm going to say this is fringe, this is not Bolsonaro, Bolsonaro is also writing, but he certainly does not support officially the swastika, so that would be the difference. But nevertheless, this is certainly a set of forces, which have relationship with the larger right, but still are an extreme section, it seems to be. We have to see what further details come out of this, but this is what we are saying is really in the first instance, what is on the face of it, what we can see, his Facebook posts and other things, all of which seem to show this predilection. But nevertheless, I think if we come right down to it, it is a part of the much larger sweep of the right versus left that we see in Latin America and the fact that the needle has swung back again towards the left and as you can see from Mexico to right down to Argentina and Chile, the left seems to be on a certainly on an upswing and of course Brazil would be really the test whether all the all the big six states in Latin America then would be different shades of left and therefore would certainly make the US attempt to impose again a Monroe doctrine on Latin America much more difficult. Right, but of course in this context Argentina also serving as yet another site of lawfare just as we saw in Brazil because over the past 10 days or so massive mobilizations taking place in support of Cristina because the prosecutor has been called sought 12 years in prison for a corruption case. He has also sought that she not be allowed to contest in politics anymore charges which Cristina and her supporters are very strongly denied saying that the evidence is suspect, the judicial system itself is biased in some senses because if it's closeness to the right and I think this points to the fact that while Latin America the political institutions are the political parties and the movements of the left are still strong institutionally the right still holds a lot of power because the decades in which they've been entrenched there so we're seeing that also being a major risk over there. You know this is I think also part what the US has also learned over the years you see US in 60s 70s 80s in Latin America even later really intervened by the military so they had very strong links in the military the school in the United States where a lot of the military leaders were trained and they were trained for assassination, mass killings etc etc a whole record is there there's nothing which is secret about it and the school of Americas is famous for this so all of that did not stop the slow shift of the societies over there particularly military dictatorships became more and more unpopular so you've got a democratic upsurge in the 80s particularly where you get what would be what would be seen to be third world politics that push back against the IMF push back against what kind of financial rules are being imposed in the world push back against the United States particularly all of this took place and in the global trade organization intellectual property organization etc at the beginning of WTO there was a strong connection with for instance the Brazilians and Indians pushing back the intellectual property rights regime which was being sought to be put patents being of course what is the more public part of it now this failed the right failed if you see being able to push back the democratic aspirations of the people and the larger left movements which are growing it's both it was not simply the left alone but it is also what would be called progressive democratic forces in Latin America coming up now that has because of the weakness or the inability to contest that of course Columbia was the last bastion of the right left never won there except when this time Petro has won and Brazil swinging back some coups here and there but all of that have been accompanied by what you call this lawfare so the lawfare part of it how to try and twist the constitution how to twist or influence the judiciary how to use the laws this seems to be the aggression the very aggressive moves that the United States has now taken in Americas but the one part of it is also it's a weakness the fact that they're no longer able to control through the say the control over the media the control over really information Twitter Facebook Instagram a lot of this as you know plays a huge part in the elections Google YouTube all of it then you also have the church a section of the evangelical church which we know is actually run by from the United States and has very close links with the right in the United States but all of that is not working so therefore the use of law lawfare and you're trying to talk about financial crimes and talking about you know it started in 2000 2003 or so when this what would be called the money laundering process acts where you impose yes actually pushed for it across the world and if they said it's all related to Al Qaeda and so on but all of it has meant that they have got their tentacles so to say in most of these institutions and therefore with the judiciary and as you know in Latin America a lot of the judiciary plays what is a conventional police role in the in in UK and it's X colonies so the investigation starting from the investigation to filing of cases is done by investigating arm of the judiciary and there is of course also the judicial arm which then gives the verdict now this is the judge morrow that was the role he made in Brazil and it seems that this model is something that they were trying also against Christina Karshina so this is this seems to be the new model that they are perfecting that how to use the judiciary because otherwise that they have very little at the moment hope in popular politics which is what they could influence and the ability of the military to stand against popular politics does not seem to be working also so I think military realizes that if they try to intervene in politics which they do occasionally but there is a huge risk to it and therefore the downside of the of intervention would hurt them in the long run so the institution of military if it has to be saved it should not really do what it did in 60s 70s and so on so I think that part of it is why you see the growth of law fair and therefore law fair on one hand then of course you have the financial institutions the eye back the world bank and other instruments that are there and then you have the also that they have the records to us courts because a lot of these deals for national governments are being struck in the us what would be called the private funds the bonds the sovereign bonds and therefore the us courts claim jurisdiction as you know they have claimed jurisdiction Argentina and Argentinian bonds etc as well so these this is the at one level the tentacles of the United States still is there but it is also the political weakness that they are no longer able to do it through other means as they could earn here right interesting preview you mentioned you know how the right has sort of subverted the constitution we know that Chile is going on Sunday for a constitutional referendum very important moment but also coming back to Brazil which you talked about which is seeing elections in less than a month now and all polls indicate that former president Lula is in a commanding position he's in the lead whether he'll win in the first round is a bit uncertain but it does look likely as of now that he might win in the elections next month so why is Brazil's election you already hinted a bit about this but why is Brazil's election so important both for Latin America and the entire world well you know Brazil is the biggest state it is the biggest economy in Latin America so if Brazil goes on one side equilibrium shifts in Latin America but the bigger shift is if you start from as I said Mexico Colombia Venezuela Brazil Argentina Chile this is a sweep across Latin America you see the map these are the biggest economies the biggest populations in Latin America see if all of them align and the Brazil is there then it is then it provides a counterweight to us in the in in the Americas so and I think that's very important that was the major role that actually Lula played if you remember when Brazil when he won the elections that was a role Brazil could play earlier Brazil had played a role even in WTO and intellectual property rights issues the GATT negotiations but the Brazil's Lula coming into power really changed the politics of Latin America the question of American you know who represents Latin America who represents the Americas that became more and more clear that it was really Latin America which represents Americas the outposts are the United States Canada you know and that they don't really they're rich no longer runs over the Americas that that was the that was what really happened of course Hugo Chavez also played a very very important role in this but it was really the combination of Brazil's weight and Hugo Chavez sharpness that combined really to build a certain role in Latin America by which coups became almost illegitimate and that's what really I was talking about that politics that was being tried earlier no longer was working it still worked in places like Haiti or smaller states you know Honduras those possibilities still existed but by and large in these interventions became much weaker so I think that is why Brazil and Lula's victory would be a very very important step again on this and with Chile for a generation like ours it has a historical significance this is the Pinochet constitution which is likely to be overthrown and the new constitution would therefore be the final seal against Pinochet's coup so I'm really looking forward to what happens that can that Pinochet constitution finally be buried and as a symbol of burying also Pinochet's regime and what he did when he came into the bloody coup against I and the Salvador I and the in Chile thank you so much for being so we do see that we have a lot of mobilizations taking place in Latin America the people of Chile were mobilized for years going to the polls on Sunday Argentinians of course also mobilizing strongly in defense of the vice president and progressive causes and we have brazil elections coming up soon we'll be taking a look at all of these in mapping fault lines until then keep

Thibias Assault, the grim business of a coordinated team of sailors, ships and landing craft of the amphibious forces of men and equipment of the fleet marines. This team is always prepared to land the landing force for the sailors and the marines of the Navy's amphibious forces. The movement a well-rehearsed symphony, a symphony of combat with its tempo rooted in the experience of men who streamed on to other shores in other years. Men who made the amphibious operation a cliche of this restless time in which we live. The marines have landed and the situation is well in hand and this was repeated time and again from Guadalcanal on across the Pacific, the army forces in North Africa, Sicily and the European continent. Thibias forces landed on Iwo Jima under the shadow of Mount Surabachi in the Philippines and Okinawa. Last of the D days, the final H hours, these were the amphibious assaults that ended the bitter years. Outside interference threatened Lebanon and the entire Middle East. The ships were off Cuba in 62. In 1965, they landed marines in the Dominican Republic from the busiest yet loneliest house in all America. To be ready for that decision is the continuing mission of the Navy's amphibious forces. It is a commentary upon the multitude of details that must be considered. The merits and the weaknesses of the enemy's defenses. Not just upon the beaches, but England, one mile or a hundred miles or a thousand miles. The force he might bring to bear from land and sea and air, against our men and ships. The state of the sea and the weather. The direction of the wind, the tides, the reefs, shoals, rocks and depths of water. The waves and the width of the beaches. And above all, the men. The marines who will land and the sailors who will get them there, and support them throughout the landing. To the planners, each man in the operation is important. The yeoman and the boson mate. The storekeeper and the signalman. The gunners mate and the hospital corpsman. The personnelman and the cook, who scrape and paint, who keep a boiler steaming and the engines turning, who steer the ships and keep them on course. Yes, all the men who do all the jobs in amphibious operation demands. They must be ready, ready to move. And anything they might need, they must carry with them. No beauties these, but each one tailor made for a specific role in an amphibious assault. The attack transport for troops. The attack cargo ship for supplies. The amphibious command ship for command control. Landing ship for armored vehicles. Flight transport for special missions. The amphibious assault ship for troops and helicopters. The amphibious transport dock for landing craft and helicopter assault. The tank landing ship for landing heavy equipment on the beach, upon the waters. But in spite of their evolving over the years, these ships wouldn't seem strange to those men who fought aboard their predecessors of World War II, nor would life aboard them seem so different. Life in the amphibs isn't really different from the old days. Everything is still the same routine. For example, we still have long separations from our families, and we still need a special kind of wife who can manage and carry the burdens while we're away. Some of the ships are more modern, our quarters aboard are more comfortable, and the gear we work with is more complex. There's lots of routine stuff, but any job has some of that.  It all means something. Take teamwork, for instance. We don't just practice it, we live it all the time. Around here teamwork is a kind of confidence that the other guy knows his job as well as you know yours. And for good reason, we're trained to know our job. There are classes all the time. There's a special school for every subject you can think of. This of course precludes them from interfering with the ship-to-shore movement of the landing craft moving from the transport group to Red Beach. On the other hand, in Fire Support Area 3, the Naval Gun Fire Support Ships lectures, studying, learning. Every sailor today is a kind of a student. They like students everywhere. When classes are over, they take time to relax. My style, but they call it music, even if they play it cool. Don't forget that Hitler and Tojo thought the drugstore cowboys would be pushovers. Some people still think American kids are soft. Well, they shape up. And when the chips are down, they'll fill the bill. They have, every time. Field test comes when operations begin, teams move aboard, and the team is complete, weeks or months if the mission calls for it, and sooner or later. But the job is not designed to serve individual purposes. This is a team where the nation directs. NGC, the flagship of the Amphibious Task Force. The admiral controls the flexible power of the force. He has all the means to act and to act fast when ordered to do so. His force is fully prepared to meet contingencies and emergencies, to sustain action until the beaches are secured, conferences are held to resolve the problems of communications, a liaison with other forces, of boats and supplies, of supporting arms. When an operation is underway, the admiral and the Marine General are kept fully informed by their staff in flag plot. They are in touch with every ship, and later with every command post ashore. The admiral can talk to the Pentagon, or even the White House if necessary. The flagship has other communications channels too, to control the planes, to control the landing craft, and to direct the naval gunfire support. Navy reconnaissance aircraft have photographed the landing areas long before the task force sails for its objective. In the final hours prior to the landing, submarines probe the shoreline for low-level views. Other swimmers move inshore to search for traps the enemy may have laid. All this is done with care, so the enemy will never know that we were there, that we are interested in this particular stretch of quiet beach. As the amphibious task force approaches, the final intelligence reports are used to update the assault plans. Air support blasts enemy positions on the beach in preparation for the landing. First in are usually the Navy's underwater demolition teams. Their mission is to blow up the mines and barricades which the enemy set as traps for boats and men. Herd amphibians form assembly circles, transports. The Marines are preparing to go in and dig the enemy out by hand, as they have always done. The helicopter instead of landing craft precisely planned, completely controlled, timed to the minute to hit the beach, is made up of armored amphibians carrying combat-ready troops, set up posts to treat the wounded, to evacuate them from the battlecopters shuttled from ship to shore. Carrying men and material to the beach is secured. The vital supply link from ship to shore is established, is a result of careful planning, meticulous preparation, and precise execution. In the critical areas of the world today, our amphibious forces are constantly deployed, ready with helicopters, landing craft, and men, continually proving that the mere presence of this offensive power is one of America's strongest defenses. This vigilance is the price of liberty, of peace.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. The morning markets kick off with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good morning everybody, I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN Monday morning, 9.06 a.m. Thanks for starting your trading day off with me and we got markets basically flat but a little bit of a pullback in the last hour or so. You were up at a high pre-market in the S&Ps, you're talking about 45, 48. We trade down about 15 points over the last hour or so, we're trading right now negative by 3 points in the S&Ps trading at 45, 33. You look at the acceleration we had from about 3 a.m. on the S&Ps accelerating about 33 points from lows at 3 in the morning of 45, 15 up to 45, 48. We jump over to Europe in terms of where we are this morning. The DAX up 1.4%, FTSE up 4.10%, CACAROL up 4.10, excuse me up 1.4% as well. You see the charge higher as Europe was open in the last hour though as we get ready for the open here, a little bit of negative action pulling us back to basically break even across the board. Over in Asia, Nikkei's down about 7.10%, you get the Shanghai is flat right now. Jumping over to the NASDAQ 100, pretty similar action. You trade higher almost up to the highs we had on Friday. You pull back a bit, NASDAQ 100, the only major index futures currently barely in the positive right now, Dow's negative by 30, Russell negative by 4, Bitcoin catching a bid. Check out that acceleration over the weekend markets, little bit negative action, Bitcoin, not so much man. You're inching towards 48,000, quite the acceleration last week. We put Bitcoin on a daily, let's put it on a weekly actually to see the full context. If you are trading Bitcoin, I put this trend line on your chart here, bounced on it a couple of times. That was a nice buy. When it was down there a couple of times, we're rising to 47,510. Anybody's guess where this thing goes in the future though, Ethereum, look at that pop, Ethereum, 3300 on Ethereum, folks, February 21st you were trading at 2300, 1000 bucks in just over a month in Ethereum. Not surprising why people love the crypto market. Crude, putting crude back on a daily, quite a little drop off we got going on crude. We're down $7.21 right now, zooming in on the action of the volatility recently, February 25th, things really start to go parabolic up to 130, you come back down to 95. This time we make it up to a high of 1,1664 on a daily basis though you see that's quite a red bar putting it back to a 15 minute to see the action. You're up to 116 on Thursday, futures open last night with even a 112 handle and it's been a one way trip and even as we speak, these moves in crude would be remarkable in any other context putting it on a one minute folks. Just for some context, since I've been on the air, crude is down to $1.20, folks my show began three minutes and 17 seconds ago and crude is down to $1.20. Talk about volatility in that market. Back to a 15 minute chart. Gold, volatility in both directions as well. Get ready for a while, week folks. We have gold down $16 but look at gold catching a bit over the last hour from 1927 up to 1945, you're at 1937 right now and we jump to notes and bonds. Quite the week last week, we had yields rising to I think, I mean we probably got a 2.5 handle last night because we're sitting at about 2.46. 2.46, remarkable the acceleration we've had in yields. We're sitting at about 2.5% call it on the yield on the tenure. We'll talk about some of the yields. It seems to be it's all the talk but boy you want to pay attention folks to the bond market, to the note market, the amount of money that is in that market. It is a very intelligent market because you can't be wrong when you have that type of money plowing into that market. It is usually an indicator of things to come and we're getting real close to some scary stuff in terms of inversion like we're talking about. The only thing I'll say is past performance is not indicative of future results, right? There are a lot of variables in play right now. We have many, many, many economic indicators that continue to come out, right? Record breaking, record breaking CPI, record breaking jobless claims last week, etc, etc. All the variables don't line up exactly how they have in history. It'd be interesting to see if we do get a yield inversion. We're getting really close enough that it should be paying attention anyway. And we'll pull up the article like I said, a great article from Bloomberg, just talking about some of the inversions, some of how it looked in history. But man, this market folks is nothing like any market I've ever experienced in history when you think about not only do you have the inflationary tendencies which have been present before, right? You can compare the time we're at right now to history. You can compare times when we're facing turmoil because of war in history, supply chain shortages, etc. But dealing with the pandemic, causing supply chain shortages, causing wages to continue to rise. You have a labor market that's unlike any other where finally employees look to have a little bit of an upper hand, leaving jobs, demanding pay increases. Point being, there are so many variables in play that we've never seen before. And I don't know how they all contribute to a yield inversion, not pointing to a recession. But just keeping in mind because we have a Fed that's hiking at a dramatic rate that we have never seen in my lifetime before. OK, I guess I was probably a toddler when they were doing it in the 80s. I was born in 1980. We have the Fed lifting off at that rate.  The next four meetings is 50 basis points. The next two after that is a quarter point. That's 2.5 percent of an increase over the next six meetings from the Fed. That's after they've already risen by a quarter basis point. I mean, consensus, even among friends in the industry, means it seems to be at least 50 basis points at the next meeting potentially. And maybe the meeting after that, but to already say four meetings, there's going to be a lot of data we get by the fourth Fed meeting. OK, and Citi's call was fed dependent. Excuse me, data dependent, not Fed dependent. Might as well be Fed dependent. Data dependent, but we're going to get a lot of data by the time they're coming out with their fourth meeting. Doesn't necessarily mean that those rate hikes are going to start contributing to the pullback maybe in the inflationary tendencies they're talking about. But you just get the market maybe pulling those back. Maybe supply chain shortages work their way out. Not sure that's going to happen, but we will see. All right, let's jump around to some of the stocks that are making news this morning. Tesla, Elon Musk. He wants to split again. Why not? He was out on Twitter, I believe. Let's see. Let's see where we got going on on Tesla. Pulling the article over here. Of course, a couple articles, I think I have it up. We'll jump to this one. So they're seeking approval for another stock split. Tweets first, issues regulatory filing later on plan. So Elon is ruling by tweet as Tesla gained in early trading after the carmaker said it plans to seek shareholder approval for a move that would enable its second stock split in roughly two years. And you see the acceleration on that. Amazon announcing a similar. Tesla, if you recall, put this back on the daily. How far do we have to go back to find that split? Jeez, I'll have to look up the data, the split, at the break, because man, this thing just took off the last time it split. It was almost the beginning of the run. We'll pull it up. But nonetheless, the move on Tesla, man, you just pull up Tesla. Let's put it on a 20 day chart going back an hourly. $755 to $1063. You're up more than $300 from where it was trading at. March 15, 13 days ago. Folks, 13 days ago, and you're up, what, 40%? No, it's going to be more, yeah, 40% on Tesla. Remarkable, the move in that equity. Apple, a little bit of a different whoa. They got some production issues. We'll get into that after the break. Apple, down about $2.72. Again, keeping in mind, every single $1 that Apple trades, you're talking about more than $16 billion in market cap. So that haircut over the weekend, boy, you're talking about what? Almost a $40 billion market cap. But look at the run that Apple's had, again, in context, Apple on March 15th. You want to talk about a run? What are you talking about, 24 bucks since then? What's that at, $340 billion in market cap? Stay tuned, folks, we've got a lot to cover. It's Monday, we'll be right back. Everything in the universe is governed by the Fibonacci sequence.

We get the SMPs, negative by three points, NASDAQ 100 barely hanging onto the gains. Decent when you think about the fact that you have Apple down, whoops, AAPL, down a solid, what, $2.80 right now? You're talking about close to 2%, something like that. And meanwhile, you have the index in the positive territory. We jump around to some of the other fang stocks right now. You have Amazon barely in the positive by a few dollars. You jump to Microsoft shares, Microsoft barely flat. Now, we do have Tesla trading up, which is gonna put a bit in there up about 50. So that's about four to 5% was as high as 1079. We jump over to Google shares, basically flat as well. All the market's kind of waiting for the open in about 11 minutes. All right, jumping around to what else we have up here. Let's take a look at the yield curve, like I was talking about as we get ready for the open. It's a reliable recession indicator and it may be sending a false alarm. Now, this is the Business Week article here. They talk about a number of different things, close to inverting. And as they say though, not for the usual reasons. Now, folks, I mean, you can almost put it in an opinion piece because boy, if you can figure out the reason why yields are close to inverting and why it may be different than history, then you may be able to make a lot of money as the history unfolds for this year and how things may shake out. In recent days, the US yield curve has quickly been flattening. The spread between the 10-year Treasury bond and the two-year note dipped to as low as 17 basis points. The level seen in January, 2020, when the coronavirus first broke out in China. The US went into a recession a month later. The 10 and two-year spread inverted preceding each of the last eight recessions. So is the Lumian version a sign of another recession to come? Not necessarily. So they talk about many things. When you put the yield spread between the 10 and the two on a chart here, all right, you go back and they talk about, whether you're talking about 80, whether you're talking about 81, they have an inversion there at 89. And what's happening is here, you have the gray area in recession. Okay, so it precedes that is what happens, folks. It's a leading indicator, usually. But the yield curve's getting flatter in design. The Fed has been propping up the economy in two ways, keeping its crucial short-term Fed funds rate near zero, and by quantitative easing, buying Treasury securities to help keep longer-term rates down. Now to fight inflation, as we know, they're gonna be in hiking those. The price of the federal funds futures indicates investors expect the central bank to raise eight times. So that's two percentage points by year. And now remember, the forecast I gave you on cities, only 2.5, and that one sounds staggering. At 2.5, they gotta hike it to the tune of 50 basis points on four meetings and then a quarter point for the next two. Nonetheless, we're gonna see how it shakes out, but keep your eye on that one, because any time you have an indicator that is that consistent, as in you get an inversion in that yield curve, folks, just be careful in terms of you wanna be aware of it, to say that, to say the least. All right, jumping around to one of the stories we have in here, let's jump down the list in some of the stocks. We talked about Tesla. Beyond meat, they are lower in the pre-market as they get a downgrade to neutral from underweight. They point to increasing competition for plant-based meat substitutes, as well as lower positive expectations for the impact of their McDonald's launch. Now this one's always interesting, because they're definitely a leader in that category, but boy, you put this thing on a chart, you're gonna open at about 45 bucks, and basically you're opening near low as we've been, and I remember when this thing was pushing 239 back in 2019, I remember being on the air with my dad, I remember us talking about comparing it to Tyson Foods, because Tyson, I believe, was an investor in Beyond, I'll pull it up. It was one of the, it might have been impossible, but I think it was Beyond, and they actually sold their steak as they went public or leading up to it, and the reason why they did is is because they were gonna get into the business too, and then you have Beyond meat escalate to a point that almost made it the comparison just tough to understand when you think about the infrastructure and process build out, a company like Tyson would have versus a company like Beyond. Well, almost, how many years later? Almost two full years later, no, three, one, two, yeah, almost, so two and a half years later, Beyond meat trading basically at lows. Now, you jump over to the Analyze tab, all right? You're still talking about a company valued at $3 billion at this price. Now what's crazy is you jump over to Tyson, talking about a company valued at $31 billion. Now out of curiosity here, you back up Tyson. Yeah, and look at Tyson. Tyson's basically at the same prices that you were at back then. Okay, so Tyson was a $31 billion company at that time, and I remember that Beyond meat was pushing like 15 to 20 billion. I said, folks, how does that make sense, right? Tyson Foods, you're familiar with the meat they do. They're gonna have a competitor beyond, and meanwhile, you're telling me this fake meat company that just came out is gonna be worth more than Tyson's gonna be? Keep, you know, at some point, have some reason in the market, folks, when you see those types of runs, because that one made no sense, and it made no sense at that time for sure, and the last two and a half years have not played out kindly.  We'll leave it at that to put it lightly. Coinbase, near a deal to buy a Brazilian cryptocurrency brokerage Mercado Bitcoin. The paper said the deal could be closed by the end of April. Now Coinbase is up, but guess what? Coinbase is gonna be up because Bitcoin and Ether is rocking right now. Coinbase is up seven bucks, so you're gonna get a pop. You're getting a pop on that news, but anytime you got cryptos, look at the pop you get. That is the crypto pop, folks. When you got Bitcoin rocking over the weekend, I was seeing tweets out there saying the king is back is what they were talking about, talking about Bitcoin. We'll see if it's back, but nonetheless, Coinbase getting a pop with Bitcoin. Now you put Coinbase on the weekly. Be careful, folks, because you get up to 225 on this equity. Now you wanna make a trade. You're at 193 right now, okay? Yeah, it could pop to 225. Maybe you rise up to the highs you had from early February of 2017, but you're gonna face a lot ahead one, man, in 225, because you're talking about going back to anybody in this equity prior to January of this year. Right? That would get them potentially, you start getting into anybody below that's in a losing position, still at 225, right? That's where it's bounced late in 2021. That's where it bounced in October. It's where it bounced in July, basically chopped around from May through July. So be careful with Coinbase. Now you wanna talk about valuations. 42 billion dollar market cap. They're growing dramatically. Crypto is here to stay forever, but you're gonna get some big competitors in crypto in a big way.  And that's quite a valuation to say the least. So Apple, they're gonna cut. I talked about this. iPhone SE output by 20% next quarter, weaker than expected demand in there. I think they had some production issues I saw as well. Nonetheless, not good news for Apple. We talked about Apple down more than $2 in the pre-market. And now you have the NASDAQ 100 rolling over all the indices in the red as we got about four minutes to go until the opening bell. Footlocker, they're negative as well. They get a downgrade to market perform outperforming Coen despite an inexpensive valuation. Investors may be underappreciating the potential impact of inflation. Okay, I was like underappreciating. Wait, but it's a downgrade. No, they're underappreciating potential for inflation hitting Footlocker. Now Footlocker's been in trouble, man. And this is one of those equities that you really gotta watch out for, folks, because they're in the business to sell on Nike's for a while. They lived and died off it. And the last earnings they came up with, they're actually gonna start decreasing how many Nikes they sell. At the same time, you have Nike transitioning to direct sales. And at some point, Footlocker is just selling other people's shoes and we all know how it goes. Do you really have such a niche like that to be it? Maybe they can be in malls and get enough traffic that you get people walking in. But that's a tough one. And they talked about valuations. You jump over and that's what they're talking about. People are saying, hey, it's a $3 billion market cap. You know, how low can it go? Well, you've got inflationary problems. You can't make any money and you're not selling Nikes like you used to. That might be a problem, folks. Footlocker, right where it was at in 2017. We'll be right back for the open. Stay tuned.

We got markets open and Apple, so to restate the news on Apple, just so everyone is clear, it is a production cut by choice because of a demand wane. Apple is gonna cut the SE output by around 20% next quarter. They're cutting that production by a fifth amid lower demand for consumer electronics. So that is the demil. That is the deal. That's a much more worrisome than a production problem, in my opinion, because a production problem can work itself out over the next year or two potentially, and that's a long time, maybe next year, maybe next three, six, nine, 12 months. But if demand is constant, then some of these companies can overcome that. But if they start seeing demand problems, that's gonna be a problem, folks, in the face of everything else. After nine straight sessions of gains, though, folks, come on, right? I mean, we all know, can't go one way forever. Apple pulls back a bit. They're gonna cut the output of the iPhone SE by about 20% next quarter compared with the original plan because signs to consumer electronics demand is being hurt by the war in Ukraine and rising inflation. They told multiple suppliers it was lowering production orders by two to three million units for the quarter. Apple this month updated its iPhone SE line for the first time since 2020, added 5G network support, possibly in an effort to persuade consumers with older iPhones to upgrade and to lower Android users. They also caught orders for AirPod earphones by more than 10 million units for 2022. Since 2016, AirPods have become the most widely sold truly wireless earphone helping Apple grab more than 25% global market share. Think about that, right? Earphones, something so simple, but boy, when you're selling them, only Apple could figure out how to sell earphones for a hundred bucks to 250 bucks and corner 25% of the market at those prices. But that's how you become the biggest company in the world. Now, the one thing that's intriguing here on Apple, you know, when Steve Jobs got pushed out of Apple and then Apple was faltering dramatically, I was still very young at that time, but one thing I remember of the stories at least of him coming back was he came back and he said, you guys got way too many models, right? They had like 15 different models of a desktop, 15 different models of whatever they had. He said, listen, we need a desktop. We need a mobile and we need like, that's it. You know, and they made their exact computers for each one. I almost see them doing the same. I can't even keep track as an Apple fan. I cannot keep track of how many phones they have, what the SE is, what that does, what the big one does. Not saying it's gonna be the same thing that happens again, but they can't appease everybody with all different kinds of phones. And I kind of feel like that's what they're trying to do. And I wonder if that'll actually come back to bite them, spread themselves a little bit too thin trying to go after every single person because if you make a phone good enough to go after the much more affordable market of Android, I mean, there's some great Android phones out there, folks, for not that much money. When you think about where we were, I was gonna say 20 years ago because I was thinking and chatting about college recently, didn't even have phones at all, let alone we were at five years ago what a phone could do, or 10 years ago what a phone could do. The cheapest Android phones out there can do almost anything, you know? And then you really up the ante when you get into some of the bells and whistles of the Apple phones and their speed and the integration and all that stuff. But if you're gonna be releasing Apple phones, it can be part of the Apple ecosystem at a very affordable rate and you have this whole product of lines that just might come back to bite them as it did with the computers early on and jobs had to come back and ride the ship. So nonetheless, they got to cut out by 20%. We'll see how they trade today though. The market, it's been up for nine straight sessions to keep things in some context, folks. All right, jumping around. Let's take a look at some of the other equities as we're looking at. Let's see how some of the stocks are opening up in the fang world. We got Amazon popping a bit. You get the Nasdaq 100 up 50 points on the open. There's a pop for you. Amazon up about 7 10th percent. Let's see how Apple is opening on that news. Apple, yeah, they don't mind too much. Just remarkable, man. Apple up a buck 50 on the open, even cutting 20% because of demand problems potentially for Apple. We jumped to Microsoft shares. Microsoft, there's a pop for you up 1.1%, man. The fang stocks, watch out. Google down a bit and jump to Tesla shares. There's a pop for you up 4.6%. We jump over to Netflix shares this morning. Netflix up 1% as well. We jump over to Disney. Disney, flat, we jump to Uber. Uber's up 1.4%. I think I saw they won another 30 month license to operate in London. And they've been having some real problems with operating in London. Of course, one of the biggest cities they operate in. And you're getting a pop by about 40 cents this morning for Uber. Let's jump around to some of the airlines. I'm always interested to keep track. We got the airlines higher again today. We got Delta up 7 10th percent. I mean, look at the run these things have had. We'll put it on daily real quick. From the lows of March 8th, man, Delta up 8 bucks. You're talking about, what is that? 25, 26% for Delta airlines. I mean, things looked dire when war broke out and fear was at its height. You got United, barely in the positive today. We jumped to American Airlines, barely in the positive. Domestically, JetBlue up about a half a percent. Southwest Airlines up about a half a percent. Keep my eye on Boeing, Boeing in negative territory. Keep your eye on Boeing on this trend channel line. It's been pretty consistent recently. You put this thing on a weekly. The channel draws itself almost. We are near the bottom portion but nothing to say we don't come back down and bounce it. I like trading this potentially at the upper or lower boundary lines of that channel line. Pretty well defined going on about a year, which is remarkable. Even more remarkable, Boeing a year ago trading at 278. Today trading at 187. So much for being out of the pandemic in March of 2021. Market getting a little bit ahead of itself to put it lightly. Some of the travel stocks keeping with Airbnb back to a daily chart. Up a bit with the Nasdaq 100 as the Nasdaq 100. Now up 77 points. Airbnb up about six tenths percent right now. We're checking on Bitcoin up an even 3000 bucks crude. Holding in about 106. We pull back $7.76 in gold. Continuing to slide a bit gold down $21. That's 1.1% at 1932. If you haven't checked out the gold report yet folks, my dad's outstanding newsletter. He's got a new issue comes out every Monday. I believe that issue for this week. If you're a current subscriber gonna be out between the 10 and 11 o'clock hours. If you haven't tried it folks a great time to try out the gold report on Mondays. All the newsletters we offer TFNN.

That way you can try those letters without being having anything at risk. All right jumping around to some of the headlines I got pulled up here as well. Where are we gonna jump to? How about this? Yeah, this one will be interesting to see how it plays out the story here. Regulators are worried that retail traders are getting in over their heads. Now I imagine sometimes this happens folks especially when you get the Robin Hoods out there really letting people probably get in over their heads. But in general they're talking about options and they're talking about inverse ETFs. These kind of quote unquote complex investment products have exploded in popularity over the last several years. Here's the bad news. Regulators are getting worried that you may be getting it over your head and they seem to be looking to erect more quote unquote guardrails. Okay, now FINRA is sending the warning signal. That's the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, okay? They regulate all brokerage firms and exchanges in the US. Reminding, they sent, let's see they released a regulatory notice to members reminding them of the risks of these complex products and the legal obligations they have of making sure their investors in the products are suitable for them. Their number of accounts trading in the complex products and options has increased significantly. However, important regulatory concerns arise when investors trade complex products without understanding their unique characteristics and risks. FINRA reminded its members that regulation best interest, which was adopted in 2020 requires brokers to act in the best interest of their customer when making those recommendations. We're gonna finish up with this. We'll see how it plays out. I imagine most investors do know what they're doing, folks. All right, and we'll talk about this when we get back, stay tuned.

That's for sure, you got the S&Ps right now climbing back to flat. We're up about six points from where we opened. NASDAQ 100, up 107 points, catching a pop, 14,870. Looks work, we're bumping up against 15,000 folks. NASDAQ 100 just traded up. We were in the red, coming into the open there. We're positive by eight-tenths percent right now in the NASDAQ 100. Gonna jump to a little bit of non-stock news if you saw the Oscars last night. I did not, but boy, I saw the headlines this morning. Will Smith, unfortunate series of events, smacking Chris Rock, the host out there. Chris Rock with a lame joke basically at Jada Pinkett Smith, Will's wife, saying that she could be in the next GI Jane too because it appears as if she has a shaved head. She has alopecia, a disease which causes hair loss. I mean, folks, if you're a biggest star as Will Smith, he was up for best actor, and he ended up winning best actor. He's been around forever, him and his wife constantly in the press.  He walked up there, slapped Chris Rock in the face, and then screamed at him a couple of times. What I will say out of this, okay, because this is the one, is that he talked about and during a commercial break, Denzel Washington, I guess was soothing him a little bit, trying to calm things down. He won best actor later, alluded to the event at his speech. But what he said, which I thought was an awesome quote from Denzel, Denzel the man, right? He said to Will Smith, at your highest moment, be careful, that's when the devil comes for you. And it's really unfortunate for Will Smith that maybe on the greatest night of his career, in terms of winning best actor, an Oscar for best actor, so many great actors have struggled for so long to win best actor of an Oscar, it's gonna go down as the night that he just went up there and slapped Chris Rock, instead of the night that Will Smith won best actor. That's all anyone's gonna remember. So I'm watching this, regardless of what went down, him unfortunately losing his cool over a joke that yeah, he could have been offended, especially with what his wife is dealing with. She has a condition, I'm sure that makes her uncomfortable when she's sensitive to those facts. If you've seen any of those shows though, you know that that's how it goes. And so I choose to take from that a lesson folks, because man, that quote is awesome. When things are going well folks, all right? Be careful, be aware of yourself, all right? Don't let yourself get too ahead of yourself and I'm not sure what was going on there, but Denzel trying to tell Will Smith, man, hey listen, you might win best actor tonight. Don't lose your stuff, we'll say, and ruin that all. And he already almost had in terms of walking up there and just slapping Chris Rock in the middle, everything losing his cool. At your highest moment, be careful, that's when the devil comes for you. I like that quote, that's a good quote. I'm gonna remember that one, man. If anything from that event, that is a good one indeed. All right, let's jump around to what else we have going on. So jumping back to the regulators, okay? Finner seems to want broader rules of these products. So again, they're talking about options and they're talking about ETFs. Here's what I will say folks, options are defined risk, okay? If they take away the ability for people to trade and define risk by basically saying, you don't know well enough to do this, that's not right. As I say, it's insulting to a lot of people because it is, many, many people can be brilliant folks in this and to take that away from them, it's gonna be unfortunate if you have to see an onslaught now that somehow it's gonna become difficult for retail traders to be able to trade defined risk products, folks. It's especially tough when you think about, I mean, here's the thing to remember, the phrase folks, you can't keep a fool in his money from parting or him and her, whatever you wanna call it. There's a certain truth to that. And yes, regulations are good to protect consumers, but at some point they become over burdensome, right? You can't take away many of the investment products that professionals love to use just because you tell them that they're not up to the task. In the world we're living in folks, options. The reason why people love them is because they're defined risk options. I heard our man Dave White saying on the air last week, maybe or something saying, I'm looking for severe volatility one way or the other. And the only way I'd be touching this market is with options. I'm sure many people feel the same way. It's tough when you start seeing that, there's gonna be a battle here to say, retail traders don't deserve access to that, especially at a time that we're gonna have gambling exploding. Okay, that has to, well, who's calling me? That has to be part of the conversation that we're gonna have gambling exploding. You can spend as much money as you want betting on the piston Celtics game, whatever, right? But you can't go in there and buy an option because you're not suited to make that decision. Keep all of that in mind as you see this because you're gonna see an onslaught here in a big way. And yes, yes, yes, there are certain areas that I guarantee Robinhood is approving and other brokerage, okay, but Robinhood in particular, they're the marquee player that they, I'm sure, okay, have been approving people that do not deserve access to those type of products. But overall, okay, people do understand what an option is. Overall, they do. There's a lot of very bright people, folks, even if you have a college degree, if you don't, if you're just getting into trading, you understand very easily that you're buying a call, a right to buy an option at this price. You're buying a put, a right to sell a stock at this price. You're buying a call spread, right? You're buying a 40 to 45 call spread. You have the right to buy at a 40. You've sold somebody else the right to buy it back at 45. You have exposure from 40 to $45 in inequity. You've paid $1.50 for that exposure. Just keeping in mind as this conversation persists because I think you're gonna see regulators come at it. You're seeing the writing on the wall here, sending warnings out, sending reminders out. Yeah, that's a little bit unfortunate to see, but complex products could include your next crypto ETF and they want to broaden the rules on these products. So you're gonna see that play out in a big way. All right, what else we got going on? Let's jump around to what we have moving this morning. We'll jump around and we get the NASDAQ up 88 points this morning. We got Bitcoin continuing to rise up 3,100 right now. Let's jump around to some of the tech stocks. Nvidia, you talk about a run, man. Last Tuesday, I think Nvidia was up like 10% on that day alone. Nvidia up half a percent right now. You jumped to AMD and you'd be down about 6,10% right now. Some of the chip stocks Intel down a little bit. They had quite the pop on Thursday as well. And we jumped to the yields. Getting a little bit of a reprieve today. We got the 10 year up 12 ticks, 121.29 the 30 year up 29 ticks. And we jump over to the VIX. We got a VIX under 21 on the close of Friday. We're sitting right now at 21.52 and that volatility index right now. We jump around to some of the other equities. We'll take a look at right now. Let's take a look at some of the pot stocks. They were rocking last week, giving back those gains. Just that quick, folks. And if you are in this equity or any of the pot equities, folks, you could trade them with defined risk. There's gonna be some volatility priced into the options. That's for sure.

You're getting into this thing at seven bucks in change. You put it on a daily to see the lows. We're gonna zoom in on the action. I mean, there's nothing to say. This thing doesn't come back down and touch this low. I don't think that's gonna happen, but if you're trading these equities, getting into it around seven last week, you have to give it some room. And today's action is evidence of that as we're back 11%, but you're only back to where we were trading just on Thursday, March 24th, volatility. Maybe they finally find a bid.

We have the S&P's now positive by four. S&P's getting driven by some of these fang stocks, folks. You got Apple now flat, down one-tenth percent right now at 174.56. We opened at 172, though. But look at the action, some of the other fang stocks right now, Amazon. You just popped to 33.66. You're up 1.6% percent for Amazon. Amazon opened flat, folks. So there's a huge run going on right now to the upside. We'll see if it holds. Microsoft shares up 1.9% on the open, man. And I'm not sure of what's doing it because Google is flat right now. So it's not like all the fang stocks are rockin' in, but you got Apple higher from their open, Amazon, Microsoft as well trading higher. We jumped to Facebook shares up half a percent with the market. You could say for Facebook shares right now, Netflix up 6-tenths percent, giving back some of the gains on Netflix. Apple, I believe their picture won, their film won best picture last night. Some of the articles getting written this morning saying, man, Netflix has been after that best picture award for some time. They get beat out by Apple. Nonetheless, keep your eye on those fang stocks, man. Amazon, Microsoft, and Apple, all skyrocketing Microsoft up 2% right out of the gate. You're trading at 3.10 for Microsoft shares. You put it on a daily. You're bumping up against this area that we were consolidating in. Basically, January, beginning of February, kind of where that second run lower started at. We may face a little bit of a headwind up at 3.10 on Microsoft shares. All the markets climbing into the positive. Look at the Nasdaq 100. We're above 14,900 right now, up more than a percent in the Nasdaq 100 shares. Remarkable acceleration and strength across the board. And as I said, Apple shares reclaiming all the losses now in the positive. Look at Apple. All these equities though, be careful. I just talked about it. They're all bumping up against areas, folks, that we turned lower. Last time, look at Apple, 175. We traded up to 175 and then in the heartbeat, you were back down to almost 150 on Apple shares. Microsoft coming up to an area that we were at in the beginning of February as well. Even Amazon, I guess 3,300 would have been that area probably for Amazon. We're now at 3,353 for Amazon shares. Thanks so much for starting your day off with me, folks. Stay tuned. We got our man Basil Chapman coming up next. Larry at 11, fast market. You talk options, folks. You get educated about the option market, fast market with our man, Kevin Hinks at 12. Steve Rhodes at one. Dave White at the top, right? White man live until four. Stay tuned for the slides. Go on.
