I've never been to Iowa in my life but I will run Alabama better than everybody very well could be Colorado Well good morning, good morning, good morning we're here to talk about I'm just trying to lighten the mood because the market is not looking good.
Uh, if you guys have been checking out what's going on with the overall Market If you've been seeing what's going on with crypto, things are looking a little brutal. Now for those of you who skipped class because you're too cool to be here over the past couple days I mean two days ago we got the CPI Report with the inflation report. Yesterday we had the Fomc results and people are just not happy with the fact that we are not going to get rate kites most likely in 2023 at least according to that fancy schmancy Dot Plot that we got from the summary of economic projections. Um, how many of you saw my Matt chapstick should? I Is this my Chapstick reminder? Thank you! We are now moving on to Coconut Pear because we're out of the mango.
Actually, all my chapsticks are running low. so uh, feel free to send me chapstick if you guys want because we are when you go through three of these a day, it goes. It's becoming a big business expense for me if I'm being honest. A very, very large business expense.
Anyway, how many of you saw the wrap-up video yesterday? Uh, and for those who did I want to know how many of you picked up a girl or boy at the bar last night using the Summary of Economic projections? Um I guess line if you will. I'll send you homemade chapstick Brennan I Don't know why, but that sounds illegal like I Feel like we could get in trouble with the post service? You know why are you sending raw chapstick? It just feels like we're gonna get questioned. You using Birdsby is a problem I Use Carmen What the hell is Carmen Mullen Halted on News Mullen Halted Mullen Everyone's telling me that Mullins Halted I Don't even know what's going on with Mullins but we could take a look easy at it. My gut feeling is it can't be good. Probably not. Well, it is up. It's up 23 percent. Mullen News Let's see what's going on with Mullen Team Let's see what in the world is going on with Mullen News News News News News News News News News News News.
Mullen This is 20 hour ago Mullen Stock charges up on Loop EV Deal Mullen and Luke Global have entered it into a definitive agreement to build an EV charging network loop will offer 300 million through its loop as a service. Last program to build charges on stock is down more than 90 percent year-to-date Uh, let's actually type in Mullen on this. This might be a little bit faster to get the real the real deal Mullen Automotive Receives purchase order from Randy Marion Automotive Group for 6 000 class 1 EV Cargo Vans firm order agreement valued at 200 million Mullen Automotive Shares halted on code news pending. Well, that's your news right there once again.
For those of you who are joining in right now, Wait, that was yesterday's news. That's why it's up. Why is it halted today? Mullen Automotive Common stock shares to resume trading at 9 50 A.m at 8 55 Halt News pending. Does the news relate to this? Apparently, we're going to trade at 905.
905 950. Excuse me, 905. So we're going to trade at 9.50 We're going to find out 20 minutes after the Mo Market opens of what's going on with Mullen Mullen Van I Hardly even know her. Uh, so the Loop knows the loop.
Excuse me. News was yesterday, but in terms of Mullen M-u-l-n Um I Guess there's new news. Maybe it relates to this. Maybe it doesn't.
Does anyone know what the news is or that's what we're pending on? We're pending on the news to come out and apparently it's going to start trading at 9.50 So that's what's going on with Mullen Here's a look at: Mullen I Mean is it potentially a good act to trade? Well, yeah, you could argue that I mean in a couple days it's already 43. Great active trade. Would I invest in the stock? Would I go Diamond Hand this? no. Why would you invest in this? It's not a good investment.
I mean just look at its chart. But remember investing in active trading swing trading are two very, very different things. If this thing can fortunately keep going I'd be watching 32 cents and after that I'd be watching 47. But the way Mullen has gone. pump, stumps, pumps, dumps I I would assume that Mullen's gonna. this pump will most likely lead to a dump. Uh, the question is, is how big is the pump gonna be? Is it a good active trade? Most likely. Is it a good investment in my humble opinion? No.
But do what you want. it's your money. I Hope you make more of it. Um, it's just historically looking at the chart I Don't see anything going on there that makes me, uh, too happy with being an investor.
Thoughts on Oxy I Have a put credit spread that expires Friday 62 by 60. Where's Oxy at this morning? Oxy Oxy Oxy Oxyoxyoxy currently trading at 62.89 personally Sean I Would wait to see how today plays out. So right now there's a little bit of concern and we'll be getting into this. but the ECB I believe the European Central Bank Or maybe it was the bank of England one of those central banks.
Uh, they also went through with the 50 bips right hike. kind of copying us here in the U.S And then from there they also basically said that more are coming down the pipeline. So once again, whenever you're more aggressive in terms of your monetary policy, that dampens the men, including your demand for oil. but oil itself is holding at 76.
so I kind of like that I Really don't think it's coming below 70 and in terms of oxy and let's just look, talk about crude. they're kind of going the same way as the market. So what we're seeing right now is the fact that oil is tracking with the Spy. And today, even though we're gapping down quite a bit in pre-market it is a seasonally, very, very bullish day.
and I think we're going down even more because of what's happening in Europe. But in all reality, I Don't think that our Fomc discussion yesterday was really that bad in my opinion. I think there was a severe Market overreaction Maybe I'm Wrong I Mean, as of now, the chart is clearly telling me that I'm long wrong because the Spy went from what 406 down to 394. So like the Market's getting really, really beat up I guess I Just don't fully agree with the market collective's reaction to at least what happened in the U.S if we take a look at Europe that adds up a little bit more.
Uh, the bank of England with the 50 bips right hike. but Sean for you with that 62 by 60 spread for this Friday I Guess my question is is if you placed it last week, there's a good chance you're already up money. So if you're concerned about it like I mean just by Theta Decay alone you should already be somewhat in profit. So if you're like ah I don't know about it, it's always good to lock in.
I mean especially if you have like concerns of it going negative, don't let it go against you, don't let a decent positive position work against you. So if you're like I don't know about this I want to know what's going on Or maybe you want to lock it in and reposition it, you could always reposition it like 60 by 55 or 60 by 80 you could take your money and roll it to another one. Um, I Think a decent rule of thumb is if you have concerns and you're in, if you're concerned about a profitable position, why not just lock in your profit and like Let It play out. Um, you guys hear about the group of financial influencers being sued by the SEC for 110 million. Is that who you're talking about? They're not being sued for 110 million. They're being accused of running a hundred million dollar fraud scam. That's not the amount that They're actually being sued for I Believe Um, maybe they're going for the exact same amount, but you're talking about Atlas training Zach Morris Uh, you're talking about PJ Matlock Uh, they're a group of notorious pump and dumpers and they've been doing it for a while. It's kind of honestly surprising that it took this long for it to get resolved I guess uh, but it's some wild wild stuff.
Absolutely wild and not only I think it's wild from two different viewpoints: I think it's wild from the Viewpoint of how long why did it take the the SEC this long to do anything. and also it's wild to me of how many people fell for it. I mean they were literally on Twitter saying we're pumping. it wasn't like they were hiding it or trying to fight against it.
They have tweets said I love pumping like it was so in our face that I don't know why the SEC took so long and I also don't know why so many people fell for it. Um, but it's what's the penalty for running 100 million scam one to two million I Have no idea I Mean it's all quote unquote, alleged right now. And obviously when it comes to the SEC it's only civil charges. It's not criminal charges, but apparently the Doj is going to get involved in it.
So it's a whole. it's a whole thing. But it's one of a myriad of reasons of why I Would really, really argue Penny stock trading is crazy risky I I Just there's a reason I Don't trade penny stocks I have in the past and I realized that I absolutely hated it. So I know right now there's like big big discussions about Mmtlp, Mmat, or even Ape.
Now Ape is now a penny stock I Hate Penny stocks Penny stocks. It's hard enough to consistently make money in like good old-fashioned Blue Chip stocks. But when you get into the land of penny stocks, it is super super sketchy. And hey, if you're listening to this right now and you're like I like trading penny stocks, how about it? if you are profitable? If you have a methodology that is continually making your P L get higher and higher and higher, have at it.
I'm not here to rain on anyone's parade. but I would be willing to bet that if those words are resonating with you, you're a rarity in here. Most people get severely severely beat up trading penny stocks. So for me I got beat up enough that I was like okay, this is stupid and I'm not gonna do it because like you just see some of the most egregious developments in that particular world that I hated it. Um so I just now avoid it Matt you will regret trashing on Mullen this whole time. Uh I'm never gonna regret it I'll admit I'm wrong if I end up proving to be wrong but like okay for in this example, who said that? uh uh Brian Brian with a y If we looked at this, if okay, if you're long on Mullen inherently, that means you're you're playing an Eevee company. So if we looked at Eevee in general, someone would have to explain to me why you think Mullen will outperform Tesla Tesla the leading EV play and there are many in between Tesla all the way down to Mullen I Mean we have to talk about Neo We have to talk about Lucid. We could talk about fuel Cell.
We could talk about charge money. There's so many EV plays in between Tesla and Mullen and the reason I'm bringing up Tesla is because even Tesla's been underperforming. Why do you think that Mullen's gonna outperform like I'm not I I Hope you make money like I really do. I'm not rooting against you I'm just sharing my opinion that it doesn't add up in my mind and just because it doesn't add up in my mind doesn't like folks.
I am not an expert traitor Jesus like I Want to make that explicitly clear? So just because it doesn't add up in my mind, doesn't mean that you're on like you could very well be onto something. I'm just literally articulating the point that I'm not in it because nothing about it makes sense to me. EV is under severe pressure. The entire Market is under severe pressure.
They are a penny stock. Their chart looks like like I can't name I Guess the only interesting thing that might be a little bullish is the news that came out yesterday. Um, obviously a 200 million dollar deal that sounds pretty good. Like that sounds interesting to me.
So I guess that's a positive thing, but once again, you have to be very, very specific. Are you talking about investing in Mullen or just trading it? Uh, because I don't see the investment at all at at all at all. I can't name one thing that's going on in Mullen that makes me want to invest in it. but I guess I could just because of the recent deal.
and also whatever the pending news is, it could be a very interesting active trade. potentially a day trade, potentially swing trade. Those are wildly different. 100 a long-term investment for me.
Brian Can you explain why? Like What makes you think that what's going on right now? like I'm afraid to invest in the overall market right now and you're saying that how much is Mullen worth? I Mean this is an environment where it's like sketchy to invest in the overall market and you're investing in an EV play an unproven EV play and it's worth 134 million dollars Like those types of plays are when the environment in the market is very good. Like did you not listen to the Fomc stuff yesterday like this isn't the time that you're like, okay, the higher risk ones this is. We are now in an environment when even your boring ones like your, your health care, your financials they're not even doing well and you're saying you want to go into like a super degenerate type of a play as an investment once again. Investments And active trades too. Very different things. But you're saying you're 100 investing in it right now. You're investing in a penny stock that has done nothing but sold off. Like you have to explain to me what's different about this time around.
What about your Bor and that is a penny stock? Yeah, it sucks I wish I never got it I hate it I still have every single share of it because I uh I guess I was I bought into this concept of maybe it was another potential Squeeze Play and I guess morally it seemed like they were working on an interesting medicine and I wanted them to be successful. but it sucks Yeah I lost a lot of money and I'm still holding it I haven't sold a single share. You could see it all on public. It sucks I hate it.
It cost me a couple thousand dollars. Uh, wasn't Tesla an unproven play at some point? Yeah, at some point. But right now, if we're using Tesla as kind of the barometer for the overall EV market like why do we think Mullen's going to do better? Even when the biggest player is getting its teeth kicked in, that doesn't really add up to me. and maybe I'm wrong dude I hope you crush it I like if you're in Mullen right now I'm not rooting against you I'm just sharing my opinion of why I'm not putting money in it.
Maybe you have a different thesis. Maybe you have a better vantage point that is 100 possible I'm not rooting against anyone I hope you make a killing off of it. It's just not only does Evie right now seem a little risky, but penny stocks always seem risky to me. There's not a penny stock out there that I'm like oh, I'm super excited about uh uh.
public doesn't show. Yes it does. You can literally see right now at least on public what I own and when I'm buying and what? I'm selling public shows a lot. um Sam wait what is it I want to know what Sam said Sam I believe he sold AMC long ago and he helps set it all short it.
That's why he's being indicted. Uh, can you do DD on AMC there's not much DD to be done right. There's no much new DD to be done right now on. AMC What do I think about hymc I think it's trash I mean there's like when I say things like oh, I think it's good I think it's trash a lot of the times I'm basing it on price action.
Can someone explain to me like and I like I guess I'm trying to work on my brand image and how I come across and I'm not trying to say this in like a douchey way, but legitimately like I I'm asking this earnestly. What about this chart makes you think oh hell yeah I want to buy that it's about to Gap fill. This was a product of Adam Aaron Pumping it to his Legion of sycophants. He made money. Hymc made money. They were basically to raise more to be able to keep the company going, but all the shareholders got royally like this. Wooden was the exact announcement I forget the exact announcement I mean from its best opening it is now down 83 percent. It's a rug like I I Just don't get it.
I Don't get how people are getting tricked into this stuff because this was when Adam Aaron like announced it. but even before then, like, even if we don't look at that, what about this chart in Hymc's history is like hell yeah, this is trending in the right direction. Like are we all that confident in our fundamental analysis, our technical analysis, and our trading prowess that we think we can spot the bottom that has never happened before. as in no, it's actually going to pull a U-turn this time around like I'm not that confident in my skill that I can spot a complete change of trend like it's just why.
why did I Why would anyone think that this Spike was different than any of the other ones that got crushed I I just don't get it like that's not in my skill set I've never had success being the person who's like nope, this is the bottom. it's gonna pivot from here I I just don't get it like it's hard enough to do that with something that's more proven such as Microsoft Apple Tesla Nvidia uh UNH uh, whatever. And then people like it becomes so much more difficult in the world of penny stocks and then yet like and I feel like it happens so much in the Twitter sphere of the Nope. I'm confident this is gonna happen like if you can do it I beg you to teach me like I Want this skill set like I like I said before even with uh mulln.
if you have this skill set if you were watching this right now and you're like no ma'am I have a proven record of picking the bottom on these high risk High reward plays, teach me I'll pay you to teach me I Want that skill set I'm just sharing that I don't have it. This is not something in my wheelhouse to be like nope this Penny Stock's different or what was the other one uh cosm like this one like I was like I don't know, we've seen this before. We've seen a pump, we've seen a dump and that's exactly what we did. Uh, what was another one G T I G T I I this was one getting pumped like same thing pumped up and people get mad that I'm like I don't know and it's just because time and time again we can sit here and I could probably show you 50 to 100 examples of these penny stock pumps and dumps and it's just I'm looking at this pattern and then some people are coming in.
No, no, this one's different if it truly is different. like I Beg of you to teach me, teach the class, Teach retail. What is your methodology because we would all love to know it because me looking especially at penny stocks. Now for what the better part of half a decade, I Cannot find a repeatable methodology that is successful in the world of these penny stocks. I can't. Especially when we're in a bearish environment when we're in a restrictive environment where it becomes even more difficult. What was the other one? CEI Another one. This is the Zack Moore's pump and dump even trch that was turned into Mmat.
Like all these things they pump, they look great and then they get slaughtered like I I Just don't know what I would love for you to teach me. Uh Prague Still invested? Yeah well, it's B B-i-o-r-b-o-i-o I Don't know I Don't even look at it now because I've lost so much on it. It's trash. I My average on this one is four dollars.
as much as I've learned I get into that emotional hype cycle as well I got in at four dollars and I'm getting slaughtered in it I haven't sold a single share I'm still in it and I hate that I'm in it because I understand it's trash I should have taken all of my net worth and shorted the out of this thing and I just didn't It was a mistake I up like I I bought into the thesis and the DD that was going on of no market makers are attacking it, shorts are attacking it, other biotech plays are attacking it and I bought into it and it was wrong and it's just once again. Another lesson of proving: I I Cannot find success in being bullish on penny stocks. If you show me a hundred penny stocks most likely statistically to be profitable, you should probably short all 100 penny stocks. Maybe a couple pop off and you have to cut your losses on that.
But if we're just playing the law of large numbers, if you generically show me a penny stock, I'm gonna be against it because that's the way the pattern goes. If you have a proven methodology of like no, no, no, you gotta look at this one because it's a little bit different because of XYZ tell me about it. Share it. with the group I am absurdly jealous of you I truly truly am.
It's just we can go through so many examples of all this stuff. they just get slaughtered. They just absolutely get slaughtered. So instead of this concept of maybe I'm wrong, but just for the sake of numbers, let's say this: Let's say we find 100 penny stocks and let's say that 90 of them go the way of penny stocks as I just showed you.
most penny stocks end up really getting hurt. So let's say 90 of those or just let's just say there's ten. Let's say 9 out of 10 end up failing and one out of 10 end up succeeding by pure math. pure basic statistics.
shouldn't we just be betting against all these penny stocks? Then whenever there's any form of a, like, any form of a pop, because nine times out of ten, we're gonna be right. And that one out of ten, you just basically cut it when it makes a new high. Like folks, let's use basic math and use it in our advantage. That's what the stock market is.
If I can find a pattern of most pharmaceutical companies failing, why don't we just short the out of all pharmaceutical companies? Like? if that's where the money is, Why? like, Aren't Aren't we here to make money? I Feel like that's my biggest question is if we find a repeatable pattern, why wouldn't we just take advantage of said repeatable pattern? Uh, everyone going. Hey, everyone congratulate Matt he's going to be a father I'm going to be a father. What's the Ortex on AMC Today, it hasn't changed much. It's right around. uh, 20 roughly. Uh, before that bell rings in two minutes. There's a couple things I do want you to know: Stocks Futures fall sharply following Fed update ahead of more economic data. Yesterday we got a 50 Bips rate increase and the terminal rate is now basically between 5 and 5.25 for next year, which is suggesting that they're not going to cut rates next year which I think we all knew.
but apparently the market Collective did not know the market fell because of that yesterday. and then it fell even more. Look at this: The Dow the S P NASDAQ are all red. Red Red Red red.
And that's mainly because of this right here. Bank of England hikes key rate by 50 basis points will continue to respond forcefully if needed. That this forcefully is really what is making the market even worse. The ECB So the bank of England and then also the European Central Bank two separate but still somewhat related things.
hike rates sees significant increases ahead as it announced plans to shrink balance sheet. So the ECB in the Bank of England are basically a couple months behind what the US has already been doing. A lot of this rhetoric. A lot of this verbiage.
A lot of these decisions we've already seen out of the US just one to two quarters ago. So they're at almost like a peak aggression level I Wouldn't say it's exactly the peak, but they're almost essentially at a peak aggression level and now they're just following suits. So they were a little bit behind and I would say the reason that they were Hein has much more to do with their proximity and their energy Reliance on Russia But that's a whole different debacle. So before that Bell goes Ding Ding Ding Let me quickly reprove this.
Five things that you should know: Before the Market opens today, the Hawks sweep in. basically our Federal Reserve is still being hawkish. must sells more Tesla shares. We'll be talking about that free Rona tests on the way.
this is from the government more FTX Intrigue Basically he got stabbed in the back by previous FTX employee and also apparently his mom was like laughing at the first hearing. so we'll be talking about that. Russia wants the U.S Okay, obviously that is still going on. Um, first the casino is open.
We are going to watch the market open for whatever the first 10 15, 20 minutes. Um Mullen is going to start trading at 9.50 Once again I know some of you in here are interested in Mullen I Wish you the best of luck I Truly do I have no position? I'm not long I'm not sure I don't care what it does well I do care I want it to go up because if you guys make more money, you're more happy. And if you're more happy, there's a better chance of you hitting the like button. So yeah, I'm rooting for you I Just think it's unlikely. but just because something's unlikely, that doesn't mean that it's impossible. But anyway, Mullen is going to start training again at 9 50. so in about 19 minutes, just so everyone knows uh, what else is going on? uh, we had Sean asking about Oxy I'm also invested in Oxy so we'll watch this. Sean Like I said today, seasonally is a very, very bullish day.
So I don't know if I would get out of my oxy quite yet. But if you're nervous about it, especially if you're already in a profitable position, why not take your attendees, lock in your attendees, call it in early? Friday Uh, I'm wanting to add Tesla to my long-term good time. You think? I don't think so? I'm not really adding the most recent ads I did in my long-term portfolio. Uh, in the past month were Oxy and Rum.
Oxy is a medium term plate. Rum is a long-term hold for me. No matter what happens with Rum this week this month this year, it doesn't matter. I'm in this most likely for like a decade.
Plus for Oxy I would love to get gains on Oxy in mid 2023, so more of a medium term play. So in terms of something that's longer than a swing, those were my recent ads oxy and Rum, but when you're talking about Tesla I will be adding to my blue chip core Holdings roughly around mid 2023. I Think the market is still in for some serious serious pain I Want to be clear about that I still like Tesla I still like apple I still like Microsoft I still like Nvidia I still like United Healthcare like I like all those some of my core Holdings in my long term account. but I'm not going to add to them because I think I'm going to get a better discount at some point in 2023.
so I'm not going to use my excess Capital now. Really? Yes, Really? really. I I Don't think this is the extent of the pain. uh I just truly don't this.
uh I mean for some of you who have been in those super secret cult streams on Sunday when we do some of the quantitative breakdowns of like what happens seasonally here there um, I was doing some extra work and I was looking into what happens when the FED actually pivots because that's the big thing right now is like what happens when the FED pivots when not I'm not talking about coasting on interest rates, what happens when they actually start to cut and if you go far enough out, yeah, it leads to a big bullish push, but still immediately immediately after those pivots, the market still tends to go down. And that's part of my thesis on why I don't think we're necessarily out of trouble yet, like we might be getting to the edge of the force, but I still think there's pain like I don't think the low has actually already been put in in this market sell-off? That's my opinion. Maybe I'm right, Maybe I'm wrong. but I'm waiting to add to my long-term retirement. Uh Rumble chat sends you love Steve you tell Rumble chat for me that I love them Mullen halted. Yeah, it's gonna be halted until 9 50. Uh, thanks for the Gap Phil suggestion made 250 on the Tesla jump. Uh so I've been talking about Tesla for a hot minute.
Uh, where was that? How do I search Tesla uh on locals? Oh that was me patting myself on the back. Check this out. So on November 21st Tesla trade idea looks weak AF watching for 155 before year end timestamp November 21st. Um, this is like I guess when I have more theories that I want to think about especially when I'm not training I post some right here.
Um so if I mean I posted that on November 21st, where was Tesla at that point in time? uh November November November November November November where were we November 21st Uh, so when this was really looking weak here, it was in the like 170s like the low 170s, high 160s we popped. but just today or just yesterday I mean we hit a low of 153. um but this is kind of the extra stuff that I used like I guess locals for I post my thoughts and ideas. We have the super secret cult meanings.
You could post your trades, your ideas, your memes. We can kind of just use this however we want. like sometimes we talk about sports, gambling, sometimes we do chart stuff. It's just a place for all the Goonies to hang out like outside of the stream.
Um so if you're interested in macross.locals.com obviously in the description of the video and also uh no, that's actually exactly where it is. Uh, there's a free version of paid version. The paid version is free if you put in the code Moon gang All one word. but yeah that trade I mean I was gonna say like got it in the nick of time but in reality we still have like half a month so I'm feeling good about it.
Honestly at this point it might keep going. like if we were to do a breakdown on Tesla right now if one like we have a gap fill, this is what I don't think people are appreciating as much as I'm a fan of Gap fills in something like the spy uh this is a great example of how sometimes gaps take forever to get filled and we are talking about a gavel from November of 2020. that is brutal. The Gap fill on Tesla right now is on the bottom of your screen I Don't know if you guys can see this, but 137.48 if this doesn't hold 150.
if I see the Spy go below 150, I would feel confident about it tagging 130 7.50 like I I Think there's a very real chance that it could go that low. Um, we actually don't need these upside targets at the moment. Uh, so this is what I'm watching on in terms of support resistance I will be watching support at 150 if that doesn't hold I'm watching 137.50 That's what I would be targeting if big. Capital If for all my math math nerds out there like I F F, if and only if 150 doesn't hold I would want to see a break below it and ideally on the daily chart a close below it, then I would personally be looking for 137.50 That's my thesis. Maybe I'm right, Maybe I'm wrong. Uh, but thus far like the big money play was just honestly seeing if it would hit 155 and fortunately we already hit that. Does a canoe count as a boat? Yes, Yes. I I Think it does.
Does the canoe count as a boat? Yeah, I would say a canoe does count as a boat. Uh, the Spy coming up to support at 393. let's see if it can actually bounce off of that. Uh, don't forget that have a sangria on Rumble mat I appreciate that Dallas um I really appreciate that I've been trying to drink less just because I don't really care about this whole thing of like are you an alcoholic like blah blah blah like that type of thing doesn't really interest me, it's more of calories and like I feel like I'm just I was consuming so many calories from alcohol.
so I feel like if I do try to drink alcohol like I attempt to make it like a lower caloric intake something like red wine. Um, shout out to Robbie He advised me of putting Mio In Like Water and vodka. um like super low calories just like I feel like I was getting a lot of empty calories. but ever since I moved to the windy city of New York officially down over 10 pounds now as of this morning I weighed myself and I think I clocked in down 12 pounds.
when did I move Six weeks ago? Five weeks ago? five to six weeks I feel like that's a good Pace a decent I think I feel like it's a healthy pace and I really didn't have to do much beyond control. my diet work out every single day and stop abusing alcohol. But just like super basic things I Feel like anyone could honestly do it, clean up your entire diet, work out six days a week, and stop abusing alcohol. Easy.
What do I weigh right now? um I weigh I weighed 181 this morning and I'm 5, 10. 181, 510 and I want to go down I'm going to go down to 170 is my goal I want to lose another 11 pounds I really don't care about my weight like the actual number doesn't matter to me because I feel like you could be healthy or unhealthy at that at whatever your weight is. Uh, so it's much more of like the mirror test for me. So like if I was 220 but like ripped I'd be fine with that or if I was 150.
but just like kind of that skinny fat I would be unhappy with that. So to me it's not the number that matters. it's much more of like my body's composition that I care about from thick to Slick No I just want to go from thick to more thick on Roid's pushing supplements so hot right now I should get on Roids incoming mirror shattering muscle weighs more than fat I Agree I mean uh, five pounds of muscle is not much and five pounds of fat is like actually quite a bit. Muscles much more thick. We're going from thick thick to T-h-i-c-c Uh, we're just. we're changing out one letter from a K to a C Milo vodka water The healthy way to get hammered looking extra daddy today. Roids I Want to get on one cycle? I Mean has one cycle of steroids ever really hurt anyone? like let's be honest I Get it if you listen to health class if you paid attention to nutrition, blah blah blah I Feel like everyone's like maybe don't do it like all that stuff but like what's one cycle gonna do Beyond like make you absolutely ripped 6 2 165 here. Want to be 185.
well maybe you should get on steroids and just let me know how it goes. Oh also for the YouTube moderators listening to this, it's a joke I just want to be very very clear about that good morning Matt What the heck is going on with the hall on? Mullen At the open they received 600 million dollar deal. Today it was 600 million I thought it was 200 million. Yeah no, it was 200 million firm orders agreement valued at 200 million I Don't know what you're getting 600 million because I'm very much reading 200 million but it's halted, news pending and the market uh, right here it's going to open up at 9 50 a.m ET That's when Mullen will start trading again so it's in about nine minutes.
Uh Trend Trend Anything is Possible Okay, uh well. hopefully the Spy finds import at 393. I Know it's crazy right now because the Spy is down five bucks, but today is actually like a very, very bullish day. Uh, just seasonally like if you look what is today.
Thursday the 15th Which means today is the 11th trading day of the month if you look at the 11th trading day of December Historically like over the past two two and a half decades, it is very very bullish. It's not always bullish I Would never ever say it's like 100 bullish, but it is very bullish man. I Want to short the out of S.I I think SI crumbles I have no position on it. My only position right now is in the my only active position like my only like active trade is on the overall Market I am long on it and I don't know why I didn't get out yesterday.
Uh, it's because I'm dumb Mullen Market cap is 450 million 200 million deal. Kind of sounds good. You wouldn't add the numbers together like that. Just because you have a 200 million dollar deal.
That doesn't mean it increases the value of the business by 200 million dollars. if I like that's the value of the deal to create something. but that doesn't increase the market cap. It's not like that's pure profit.
It's not even really. Revenue that's a deal that they're taking in. Obviously they still have expenses and whatnot. Um, I mean it's good for sure.
If you're just looking at the size, the fact that it's well, how much is Mullen worth right now? Mullen is worth Mullin as of the halt is worth the market cap is 134 million 134 million How Wild is it that Mullen the entire value of Mullen is a rounding error for Tesla How ridiculous is that? Tesla is 504 billion with a B and that is after it fell like what 40 50 percent. So even at like a massive hit to Tesla stock the entire value of Mullen the entire value of Mullen is like an accounting rounding error at the end of the year. How ridiculous is that? And that's also I Know you guys don't like when I say that I Don't think Mullen's a good investment, but if Mullen was really that good, don't you think Tesla would just buy it? don't you think Lucid would just buy it? How much is Lucid worth right now? Lucid is worth 13 billion. why not? Neo Uh, 18.8 billion. uh chpt. Uh, worth 3.8 billion fuel cell worth 1.5 billion. If Mullen was truly that good, why wouldn't one of these other people just buy it? I mean you could get even if you doubled it even if you paid a massive premium on Mullin Uh, it's worth 134 million. double it up 270 million.
That's kind of nothing. kind of nothing to the likes of Neo lucid and Tesla why not? Um, especially in a market like this where like you could go kind of shopping on discount. It's another thing like I Wouldn't say it's like the ultimate red flag but it's definitely a red flag in my mind of like why? why not like if it was that good? or maybe there is, who knows. Maybe that's the announcement? Maybe at 9 50 this thing gaps up to two bucks because there is an acquisition I Don't know, but I just wanted to I guess Share those thoughts with you to try to understand like what are we missing here? Uh, would the prospect of it being bought be a reason to buy? Mullen if you think it's gonna be bought Weeble has Mullen market cap at 436 million.
Um, Weeble is trash. It's absolutely trash. They're Not only do they commonly engage in pain or they almost are always engaging in payment for order flow. Uh, but their data set.
The data that they provide its users has been proven to be like erroneous many many times. Uh, I Would definitely fact check it on multiple sources like here. A better Source would be this: I don't know what or text is gonna say, but whatever they say I would assume that they're more accurate. Um, so the market cap is actually shares.
The market cap that you're seeing on Weeble is actually the same market cap that I'm currently seeing on or text. Why is there different Like That's a big difference that's not like. oh, they're off by a little bit. Shares outstanding.
1.66 free float. Why? Why is there such a difference? It's true someone's wrong here. Either or text is wrong or because I don't know if you guys can see this but right here. Market Cap: 134 million shares Oh, this is why because they have two different floats SO Trading View thinks there's only 370 million shares in the float while or texts think there's 1.66 billion.
That's really weird. Someone's off there. Uh, I'm not the biggest fans of the biggest fan of Yahoo Finance's data set either, but let's just look it up. Let's see what they think there is I wonder why this shares outstanding is so vastly different Financials: Um I Thought it would be in here. Market Cap 436 Okay, we're seeing 436 on Yahoo we're seeing 436 on Oratex and I actually like I Trust Ortex. Um so I think trading view is wrong here. This share float This float is the reason why it's wrong because whenever you get market cap, you're just multiplying the share Float by the current price. Um I think trading view is wrong I think you're right in the Weeble number that is supported by Yahoo but more importantly, supported by or text saying that this has a market cap of 436 million or whatever 400 plus 420 on Finviz I Don't know why it's so different I Have a feeling that Training View is sourcing its data from something that is out of date if I just had to guess of what the discrepancy is.
Uh, it seems like Mullen's information I would trust this I trust or text the most for data fundamentals that's not good. Income statement balance sheet they don't have much cash on hand. Huh? uh yeah. I think trading view is wrong in their market cap I Think you guys with your Weeble your Yahoo and also more importantly, confirmed by or text is right.
Um, in one minute this is supposed to start trading again. So I'm kind of curious to see it actually in 15 seconds Mullen is supposed to start trading again. it's official Matt says Monsubai I'm not trading it all right let's see two one Uh so just popped up 22 percent. 34 cents, 33 cents.
What was the news? Mullen Uh, resumed at 9 50. Okay, where's the news though SEC Chair Gensler says if we if Chinese authorities do not allow Pcaob complete access for inspections and investigations for three consecutive years, Sec would prohibit trading of Securities of issuers engaging those audit firms Mullen shares resume trading Yeah, but why what the is the news? It's legit. Turn the stack back on. News is posted Mullinan Press News Site: Uh.
transaction valued at approximately 200 million deliveries commencing first quarter of 2023. Yeah, so I guess it's the deal that we already kind of know of. Like I mean the deal was already posted I guess it was just com. It's not like another deal, it was this one right here.
Six thousand class one EV Cargo vans firm order agreement valued at 200 million. so they just Inked a deal of that's valued at 200 million. Once again, that doesn't mean Mullen is worth 200 million more. It's not like that's pure profit.
Um, but it's just a big deal which probably helps keep their light on. It's like a good uh I guess cash flow situation. It's still going I Mean to get a deal that is worth half of your company's entire market cap? That's pretty good. Why isn't Mullen being halted? What do you mean? It's just unhalted. It was halted because of news pending and now, um, if oh, you're asking about like a limit up limit down, it's because you didn't I Mean look at the lud rules. luld, look at the NASDAQ It explains it perfectly right here. Uh NASDAQ Uh, l-u-l-d if you just search NASDAQ Luld This right here gives you literally all hang on. Is it this one? No right here.
Second one: I Found This does a decent basically if it violates the price bands. So here's one. um that you could read: Limit Up Limit down. Uh, if you just go to I searched NASDAQ what did I do NASDAQ luld and then click on this first one and then right here.
Limit Up Limit down number two It It explains it perfectly right here. like the math of what has to happen. Uh, if it goes above or below the bands for x amount of time, that's what prompts it. and Ken Mullen Hall 100 it could hold.
Without a doubt, this could haul again. Um, not because of news. Well, it could all because of news. I'm saying because of the circuit breaker, this could totally Halt And all the rules are specifically outlined right here and they do the same thing with the New York Stock Exchange Like all of these like people, if you're listening to this, I don't want you to think that halts are randomly applied.
they're not randomly applied. They have very, very specific rules and if any of those rules are violated, you get a halt. To the upside, to the downside, it's it's something that you could know is gonna happen before it happens. In fact, there are people who build out the price bans and they know okay, if it stays above or below the price ban, for whatever I think 15 seconds it gets halted.
It's not like a random magical thing that someone's like okay, I'm gonna decide to Halt that in terms of the circuit breaker. In terms of like the SEC in terms of other halts and Finra and news, yeah, I mean there's some Randomness to that, but those are extraordinarily rare. Um, and Mullen's not OTC I Don't know who's saying it's OTC It's not. It's literally right.
It's on the NASDAQ It was listed on the NASDAQ uh I Think it's running because Matt was talking on a pre-market once again. I Talk on it as an investment I mean just rewind it I Made it very, very clear that there's a stark difference between an investment and an active trade. I Said it's probably a fine active trade I'm just saying I wouldn't invest in it. Uh, if you're making money, take it off the tape like lock your money in.
If the trend is still in your favor, take it. If you extrapolate out far enough Mullen is gonna most likely go down the odds. The stats say Mullen will most likely go down. That isn't a guarantee by any means, but I would not invest in it.
Why? Why I Don't see it as an investment I see it as an active trade and how about make money? I'm not against anyone making money I Want you to make money? Okay, just got here. But what news is causing the Spy to tank today? Uh, basically the ECB, the European Central Bank and the Boe the bank of England two central banks equivalent to the Federal Reserve here just over our friends across the pond. Uh, they followed suit with the US and they were. also well. Actually, it was more aggressive, more hawkish than we were here. So they had their equivalent of the Fomc meeting. They raised it by 50 bips and on top of it, their verbiage is that they would continue to forcefully fight inflation. Uh, I will be in Mullen until double digits I Hope you're with me I Really I Hope the double digits you're talking about are just like higher than 36 Cents If you're talking about above ten dollars, you're talking that you think that Mullen will 30X in value roughly 30 x in value Mullen As you pointed out, is worth What A Half a billion? So you think Mullen is going to go from being worth half a billion to 15 billion dollars? You think that at the current state that Mullen is actually going to be worth as much as Neo Could it happen? Yes.
Is it likely. No, It's totally possible. I'm not saying no. No, it cannot happen.
Yes, it could obviously happen theoretically happen. Uh, Is it gonna happen anytime soon? Like I said yesterday, there's a better chance of Blake Lively walking into the studio right now and saying she's my new co-host like the the I would put them actually. I'd put the Blake Lively thing at higher odds than Mullen being worth 15 billion in the near term. And then if you're talking about the long term, well now you have to think of, are you most efficiently using your capital? You have to think about the fact of like the chance you have to look at the odds and the return.
is there a better way for you to more efficiently make money in whatever you think that time period is. Let's say you have a 10-year Runway and you're looking at Mullen to 30X You have to ask yourself, is there a higher odd way for you to 30 extra money? Let's just say like for this theoretical scenario in the next decade and I would argue. Yeah, there's definitely better ways for you to 30 extra money and take on Lower Risk Boom enters Blake Let's go attack sauce harvesting I'm feeling Lively we want like hey, we all want Blake I Think she's busy being a mother though didn't Isn't she pregnant with her like fourth child or something like that I Have a feeling that she's doing better things with her day than being a co-host Do you do a video on Algo trading for dummies? Charters Can you do a video on Algo training? It's already up. Like some of just basic quantitative trading, it's already up on the channel.
If you can deal with my horrible, cringe, robotic voice where it almost seems as if I'm being held at gunpoint filming a video If You Can Dance Like Deal with that. We already have some systematic training videos up on the channel. Yeah, right. Uh, what's up with Spy? Any suggestions? what's up Us By it's getting its teeth kicked in and we are coming up on support Support is at 390. we're actually in the region of support right now I would say this whole region between 390 and 390 150. we are in support. If it snaps 390 then it's probably time to look at the Gap filter 381. Finra Fraud and Mmtlp.
What a short squeeze rug pull? Um I don't quite understand the Finra fraud thing. I I Really, really don't? Uh, who said that? Elaine Elaine Elaine Elaine Elaine Elaine Duncan Ms Duncan uh I Hope I can refer to you as that, uh, are you gonna be in chat for like two minutes? Are you gonna be around? Because I like I Actually, I'm trying to better understand this Mmat situation. First of all, my red flags are going off because of this because of this right here. Ms Duncan Okay, uh, I I would love to have a chat about this.
So first of all, if you go down to page 31, this is my first red flag of the whole Mmat thing. And granted that we're we're rewinding almost two years here. but Torchlight Torchlight Trch turned into Mmat. This at first a big red flag it was being pumped by.
Zack Morris Atlas trading in that whole group. So right away it makes me think, eh, that seems a little sketchy, but maybe like hey man, water under the bridge that was early 2021. That's maybe not a red flag for you. Maybe you're focusing more on the fact that it's stopped trading on December the 9th, the last trading day of Mmtlp, which was Trch.
Basically, for those of you who don't know, Mmat got Trch and then they spun that asset off as a like special dividend or something like that. Anyway, for those of you who don't know, it's stop trading. Its last trade was on Thursday December 8th. Stop trading on Friday December 9th And I know a lot of people are calling out Finra fraud.
Uh, Finra halted two days early. My question was, did it actually halt two days early? Like And my reasoning for this and remember: I'm A I'm A So I rely on people who are far more intelligent than I Am. And fortunately, I'm very close with many people in the world of Wall Street who are far more intelligent than I Am and one of these people happens to be Dave Lauer And fortunately Dave is extremely generous with his time and he pointed out something that I feel like shoots down the current rhetoric of finer fraud. and I think we almost need to reposition our thoughts on what this Mmtlp Finra fraud is.
blah blah blah blah blah. Where is it? Well I basically have to go down to the ninth, right? Nope, that's the sixth. Did I miss it? Did I just scroll by it. no eighth, seventh, ninth.
Neymar's unreal. Where the was it He talked about it. Oh right here. I've seen so many questions about Mmtlp and the Finner halt.
My understanding is that the training was halted because shares purchased on the ninth would wouldn't have settled in time. If you bought shares, you'd have been simply ripped off. This is explained by Co here. So remember when you trade, it's a two-day settlement. even though in your account you see that like oh, it's there or not, it takes two days in the back end for it to actually settle. So if we are looking at I probably if we are looking here on the eighth, we knew that this thing was no longer trading like it wasn't supposed to trade past the 12th. So one two if you bought it on the 9th or the 12th. if you bought or sold anything on the ninth, then it doesn't settle to the 13th.
And Mmtlp wasn't supposed to be trading here. So that's why seemingly why Finner had to stop it because of the two-day settlement cycle. If you got in on the ninth there, it would not have settled to the 13th and we know that it was supposed to like. The final day of training was supposed to be the 12th.
Let's get into this right here. right here. Uh, blah blah blah. Shareholders with settled positions as of the 12th will receive one share of next Bridge Hydrocarbons settled positions as of the 12th for it to be settled as of the 12th.
You're looking at two full trading days, so that clearly means that the last training day had to be the eighth because I mean it said it. this is from them. This is from their own company. Mmtlp shares with settled positions as of December 12th for anything to be settled on the 12th.
That means the last trading day had to be two training days before as in the eighth. So like, uh, thinner halted during a trade halted trading a trade before the settlement day. Yeah, they closed the last two trading days. It takes two days for trades to settle.
If you trade on the eighth, those trades settle on the 12th. We're on like right here. Shareholders with set like I don't know I feel like I'm losing am I crazy here. Settled positions as of December 12th for something to settle As of December 12th That means the trades on the 8th.
If you trade on the eighth, it settles two trading days later, you trade here one day Friday the 9th, two days the 12th. Like what? Yeah, they closed the last two training days because all right, hang on, Uh blah blah blah. Mmtlp shareholders with settled positions will receive one share of next Bridge hydrocarbons for every one share of Mmtlp purchases of Mmtop executed after the eighth will not receive distribution that this is posted by Meta And what was the date they told you this on the 8th? This doesn't seem to be a Finra thing. This seems to be a Meta thing.
like they told you the company told you Meda told you this on December 8th that it was done so because of the two-day settlement cycle trading stop but short close so that's the one thing that I kind of looked into. and if you are short, you have the obligation to give back the shares who were loaned to you and whatever the final trading price was. Uh, Mmtlp, is it not even here anymore? Can I not even see it? Okay I can't even pull it up. but what was it I don't even know what the final price was I want to say like 230 or something like that? uh there if I had to guess and this is where I'm going out without. uh I guess like the hardcore evidence of it because you have to talk to all these individual Brokers There's a good chance that their obligation just had to be filled at whatever that final price was. So just for the ease of this conversation, if mm, let's say they shorted it at Price whatever. three dollars and it came down or it doesn't matter if you short it at Price X and when it's done trading, it's at why you still have an obligation, a legal obligation to get the shares back to the original person and I would assume that the Brokers just use that final price and this is part of the assumptions because like I don't know how every individual broker did it anyway. So to me that's the interesting part about Mmtlp is the current shorts.
What did they do? The interesting thing to me is not the stopping of trading. The stopping of trading in my mind makes a lot of sense. Settled positions as of December 12th. The company itself told us that I don't think that this is the Finra aspect of this of what people are currently going on about doesn't interest me.
The thing that really really interests me is how did Brokers handle the current short position who have legal obligations to whoever loaned it to them? That's where. like I like. That's the interesting part of the story to me. But anyway.
um Dave who is a literal expert in this like we? I think we can all admit that Dave probably knows more than all of us put together. Um I've seen many questions about Mmtlp and the Finner Hall. My understanding is that the training was halted because shares purchased on 12 9 wouldn't have settled in time. It takes two days to settle.
those would have settled on the 13th, but it was supposed to stop on the 12th. so that's why they stopped it. If you bought shares you would have been simply ripped off and the reason you would have been ripped off is because the person who sold it to you they would have had the obligation to you and then they would have had to all track it down and it would have just got really messy of with whoever got the Distribution on the 12th or excuse me the I guess they would have got it on the 12th, but it came from the people on the that were holding it as of the eighth. I Know this isn't the answer most people want and Regulators don't get the benefit of the doubt anymore, but this seems like a straightforward case of investor protection.
Trades wouldn't settle in time regardless of buying or selling. And remember, that's every transaction you have a buyer and a seller. A lot of people seem to think that the 9th and the 12th were days for shorts to cover. That's not how it works. Those trades wouldn't settle in time and any short positions left would still be obligated to deliver the new shares to whoever they sold to. They'd be trapped. Clearly, the situation is complicated and involves much more than just the trading. Hall I'll look deeper into it this weekend.
Thanks everyone for sending all the DD my way. That said, uh, please know that it won't be unhalted and the halt doesn't help anyone who might be short. So I like I I don't unless I'm like I've been really uh I think Dave is right like normal I I Don't see how Dave is wrong here. Um, so Ms Duncan Ms Duncan because of the shorts have too many because the shorts have too many synthetics.
Wait, how many synthetics were there? How like what is the proof of synthetics? I don't even they might not like. Unfortunately I Can't look at the Ftds. Yeah, it's not pulling up. so.
I I don't know I I Can't really speak on the existence or the non-existence of synthetics because I don't have like any of the data. Um, if Dave is right, what makes any record date necessary? Well, because sometimes the date of record is like a dividend and like the stock isn't going to stop trading like it's not like because you have a record date that something starts stops trading like the date of record exists like for dividend payments and things like that. not necessarily like a permanent haul. In fact, most dates of record I would argue are used for like some sort of dividend payment.
Um, and the stock continues to trade so trades still need to settle after that. Most States of record do not include the thing stopping it's trade. Um Elaine please. If this short squeeze didn't go through then AMC and Gme won't.
What do those have to do with each other? There was another thing like I just I think a lot of I feel like there's a lack of evidence in this. like I don't think it's beneficial for anyone in the community to just be screaming about synthetics without evidence like I will happily I will stand side by side with you if we have evidence. My whole thing is I am fine with any Theory that's worthwhile to be looked at when Mmat was brought up to me or specifically Mmtlp. I Think you have to approach it with classic Bayesian statistics there's a 50.
you guys are right and there's a 50. you guys are wrong. So from there I didn't care because I had no like I had no skin in the game I just started listening to Twitter space calls I started reading the responses on Twitter I Started looking at all this and could there be something funky going on? Yes, but I I Just don't get this Finra fraud thing like. To me, that's just a a massive massive misunderstanding of the two-day settlement.
There could be other crazy things going on, but I'm saying just like very specifically for the Mmtlp Mmat Trch community. I Think it's a waste of time to look at the friend the Finra aspect of it I Think your time is better spent If you truly believe there are synthetics I would look into that I Would 100 look into that this whole Finra thing of the two-day settlement? it as Dave pointed out and it makes sense. No one, everyone was equally. Frozen The Longs were frozen and the shorts were frozen. Uh, Synthetic is a great strip club Matt ASD is full. hang on I wanted I had two days to close positions which was not taken but you didn't because it takes two days for trades to settle. That's that's the whole point. We are on a two day settlement cycle.
If you traded on the ninth, it wouldn't have settled until the 13th and the trading of it had to stop on the 12th. So basically all of the trades on the eighth. that was the last day because you have the 9th and the 12th like it took the two days for it to settle. so it feels like your your issue is more with the settlement cycle of this stuff.
Elaine um Matt I think you're great. Please read more into this: I Want to know more? Can you call in actually? Elaine Can you tell me your Twitter handle and I'll call you right now I Want to know more? I'm trying to wrap my head around this: I I Need someone who is apparently more informed because the the main part I've looked at is the Finra fraud and the Finra thing doesn't add up to me. You're missing the other part. What's the other part? I I like go watch the Charles Payne interview with John BRD I don't know how to say his last name bro Brda.
It feels like there's too many letters in a row of his last name that isn't a vowel. So if Ms Duncan or who's the other person Ms wait there was someone else I I would love for someone to explain the other part of it. Tara Tara Jones um wait Elaine Well I don't know how to reach out to you then if you're only on, do you still have a Twitter account that you could go into for like a second? Because while all that's on you, I'm gonna put it on you to figure out how to explain part of this to me. Um, but as you're figuring that out, there's another thing I wanted to bring up to you.
Uh, Profile Profile Profile profile. Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where is it? Where are you? Where are you? Where are you I can't find it. Why do I tweet so much? Well this is getting ridiculous.
