2D, what shut up welcome back to the only show you really need to watch about the whole stonk market world because hey at least we're not mainstream media. That's all! That's all! We really need to say about that. But boy, oh boy, do i have a fun filled agenda, lecture, good old chat, fireside chat for all of you today we will be talking about meme stocks, ripping we're going to be going through all the information you need to know about. Technicals short interest data points, utility or utilization, all that related stuff for amc jamie, then we're going to be diving into some of the recent developments with politicians in the us being banned on trading stocks got some developments there and then finally, we have to go over Some of the latest stuff going on with the sec and we're talking about the settlement cycle i'll be explaining what that is and what the new proposal is and when it could potentially go into effect.
So, overall meme stocks ripping politicians being banned from trading stocks and new sec developments. We got a lot to go over and we only have well. I guess technically, we could take as long as we want but hey. I know that you're only trying to pretend like you're working for the next 30 minutes and get your manager off your back, so at least act as if you're intently watching this, because then it might put the look on your face like you're doing some legitimate work.
So if your manager is walking around, we got it all planned out, but this is the stuff you need to know about and with all that being said, let's hippity-hop right into it all right. Here we are so the spy crushing it today, currently up 1.4 percent. It ripped it sold off bouncing same with the nasdaq 100. We saw amc rip didn't come down that much.
What was i telling you about watch that 1825 level. This time we were rejected above it around 1850 twice, but as we're getting into close, it's pushing amc. Currently up 13 on the day and then jimmy what was i telling you? I think it was around 120. It would struggled one two three and then on the fourth try broke out of 122.
Currently, at 125, a or gme is up 7.5 and then on a similar note. Prague is up on 9.5, so overall we're seeing a lot of a lot of buyers, a lot of buying aggression, we're seeing things go higher higher higher and for all of these, it's a very interesting development. When you really look into the data because yeah not only do we see considerable gains, but we know that shorts are getting burned. How do we know that shorts are getting burned? Well, the short interest on amc is currently 21 on gme.
It's currently 22. On the s p 500: it's currently 32 on the qs, it's currently 17.5 percent and on the russell iwm. The russell 2000 is currently 52. So across the board we are seeing outliers.
We are seeing very high short interest levels and we're seeing these things go higher. I've been kind of pitching this recently, particularly to the three overall indices, but obviously this has been long overdue, with amc and gme that if these go up and the short interest is staying there and now we're in the scenario where the short interest is going higher, They are under an immense amount of pressure, the same way if you buy stuck, and it goes down you're under pressure. Well, if these people short stocks and starts going up they're under pressure, but it's worse because on top of the fact that they're in a net loss when it goes up, don't forget they're also paying those costs to borrow fees. It is crazy. Now i know a lot of people, particularly if you're following amc and jimmy there's a good chance, you're hearing about this utilization being 100. This morning i did a deep dive on what that does or doesn't mean. I implore all of you if you want to learn more about utilization check, that video out no more shorts mac shorts, find this video just search mac mac shorts. It's also on rumble, just if you prefer to watch it over there.
Just there's a good chance. You're hearing about it - and i want the proper information out there of what it truly does or doesn't mean, but overall um it. It does really uh. I guess, put more pressure and, like kind of it really is boxing the shorts into an interesting situation.
A very interesting situation uh, but once again, if you want to know exactly what utilization means, i i'm telling you watch that video and hopefully we can get through this other stuff, the politicians and the sec before that bell goes diggity ding, ding ding. So we can actually see where amc and jimmy end up on the day and with all that being said, i just want to like forewarn you don't forget. Tomorrow we get the cpi, the consumer price index. That gauge is very, very important to the federal reserve, basically telling them how hawkish or dovish they should be right.
Here we got a little bit of a a warning. I was saying forewarning for you, but really the white house gave all of us a warning. This was reported by walter bloomberg earlier today, white house says: tomorrow's inflation data to show high year on year figure. That's telling me that inflation's coming in higher than the 0.5 percent they were expecting, which is going to get us over that 7.3 per cent that we had previously, which means we're probably at and at this point potentially exceeding the four decade high level like we're.
Talking about inflation from the early 1980s, i don't remember it because i wasn't alive, but i was told that it was freaking hot. It was high inflation, high high hot hot inflation, and it looks like we might be exceeding those numbers if we come in hawkish. If we come in hot, if the inflation is hot, if it's high, if it's higher than snoop dogg, it's an interesting scenario, if it's hot, that means that the fed really has to start doing what it can at its disposal to fight it. Well, if they're going to do that, they might have the open door, because we know the recent jobs report is. The economy is stronger than they thought it would be. So we have the economy stronger and, if inflation's coming in higher. That means that the fed's like we got ta fight it, let's be more hawkish and we can get into the details of how they can do that. We already know that they're gon na end the tapering in about a month.
We already know that they're gon na raise interest rates. It might come in at 0.5 instead of 0.25, but the other thing is balance sheet normalization. That's going to be a whole debacle in itself. So if it comes in high, i can understand the catch-22 of the scenario: i'm of the personal belief that it's actually going to push the market lower, because i think it's going to signal that the federal reserve is going to be a little bit more extreme with Their quantitative tightening to get inflation under control, especially when the jobs and the economy are stronger than expected in the most recent report, so that will come out consumer price index.
Please please pay attention to it and i did have another update right here. Feds mester says she expects inflation will start coming down in the second half of the year. That's a good one, which year uh, that's pretty funny um. So another additional update there, but this is the fed - is going to be having a massive impact on the overall market, which will have a massive impact on individual equities.
This is why, no matter what you're paying attention to whether it's the equities market and individual equity, or even the crypto market, you got to pay attention to what the fed is doing. That's why we have this thing: don't fight the fed, speaking of the overall market, here's a quick snapshot of the s. P 500. As you can see, it's very, very green.
The only thing not doing well today is cvs and in terms of the crypto market. Also, very very green lots of money to be made today and you know who's probably making a lot of money politicians why well, it just seems like they're, always in the right place at the right time, and i have a interesting development for you. Let's take a walk down memory lane back in december, pelosi rejects stock trading ban for members of congress. We are a free market economy.
They should be able to participate in that everyone when they started diving into it, they're like and it just it wasn't really. The vibe that people, i guess like felt the most comfortable with, in fact i would say the most reasonable way. I could put it as soon as they heard this and started diving into like hang on. You have kind of like access to super important information.
Should you be able to trade on that so very quickly? Everyone had more of a vibe along these lines. Here. Let me just put that: let's make it a little bit better, that's very much everyone. They weren't feeling good about it, but she stuck to it because not her her family, particularly her husband, makes a killing in the market. I think she was the sixth best performing family in congress past year. According to the report from unusual wales. Well, it all started there. They asked her and she's like no, no, no free market economy and then, let's, let's just stick with me, then she realized that people hated her and people like her for it.
Two-Thirds of americans report banning lawmakers from trading stocks. They support the ban and then that number jumps up to 73 75 percent when they were like were further explained. What this actually means so like the bottom number is two-thirds. Okay, so that was we went from this december pelosi's like now we're trading.
Then they get the polls, and this was mid-january and they're like actually we kind of hate you for it. Well then, it turned into this well nancy pelosi, right after that, a couple days after eight days after she was saying i'm re-running for office, and i want to get that office well. That brings us to now. Pelosi is working on banning stocks trading by lawmakers.
According to this report and we're going to be getting into that - which obviously, for very very good reason, is once again making people think that this is absolutely 100 a circus and it is a circus. You you're not wrong. In feeling that way, you are 100 right and feeling that way. If this is over two months, no, i want to trade, oh wait, the voters, the constituents don't like it.
I am rerunning time for me to actually ban that this is crazy, and this is what's so goddamn frustrating about politics. Is you don't actually know what they think like whatsoever? These people are all freaking clowns and they're doing whatever they can to pander to get your vote. You don't know what they're actually thinking they look at as game. Okay, this is what the poll tells me i should or shouldn't like.
You have no idea. What's actually in their minds, you have no idea what's actually in their hearts and in this very particular case you know, pelosi wants to trade. You know pelosi. She wants her husband to be able to trade they're just doing this to like, ideally in them like all right guess, we should try to be on the right side of history.
Let's get a little bit more to the details. House speaker, nancy pelosi is working on. Banning stock training by lawmakers and senior congressional staff, pelosi and house democrat leaders want to amend the stock act, a 2012 law designed to combat insider trading by requiring timely disclosure of stock transactions, among others, uh. The exact scope of the ban is under discussion.
That's what i really want to dive to into on this so check out. Punchbowl news i found out about it today, shout out to dave lauer. If you don't know who dave lower, is follow him on twitter, uh, huge amazing, great insights and support for this community. Um, you can always learn a thing or two from reading any of his tweets, but definitely check out dave lowry's twitter is at the lauer. Anyway. The house democratic leadership intends to amend the stock act. The 2020 law governing house members to disclose the purchase or sale stocks to eliminate the trading of individual stocks by congress of by members of congress. This it's very easy, just ban it ban it ban it.
But when you say that, okay, there are serious things that have to be considered what counts, as trading, would a lawmaker be able to hold on to stocks that he or she owned before coming to congress? Would they just be banned from trading these stocks, while in congress that's a very fair question? Are we saying you have to come in and sell everything and as you're about to see the very next one? If that is true, do you pay capital gains like how does that work? The executive branch allows a waiver or deferral on capital gains tax, while incoming employees sell stock before coming into an administration. Congress will have to decide whether it will do the same for lawmakers, but if a wealthy candidate wins a seat in congress and is forced to sell off stocks and other equity positions to comply with new restrictions, an exemption from capital gains taxes could be a massive Financial boon right there, one it's easy to say, ban them, but you have to understand the can of worms that it opens, and these are all very fair questions that should be asked and they should obviously be deliberated upon. Next thing is family members right now, if you but matt nancy pelosi, isn't the one trading. I know i've read the reports.
I fully understand it's her husband, so in this case, should the husband still be able to trade shouldn't he all right. Are we talking about kids if the kids over 18, i mean we know um as family members, especially immediate family members, they talk. Are they sharing that type of information? What is or isn't above board? This is all stuff that needs to be figured out a little bit more. Furthermore, what if they marry all right if you get married while in office and they own stock, what, if they're a trader uh this is all stuff that needs to be considered, would lawmakers have to sell their shares in family owned companies? What about in cryptocurrencies commodities? My point in bringing all this is up is that they have.
This is all stuff that obviously needs to be considered. These are all very fair questions, and i'm still my biggest fear in all of this is that, because people want to get re-elected right away, whatever's put in front of them, they are going to vote yes, they're gon na be like yep. You can't trade and they're really really focusing on individual stocks. I'm telling you folks, don't let them get away with this.
I know i'm you might be like wait. Wait, wait! Wait! What matt are you saying that they're like i thought we wanted to ban stock trading? Listen to what they're doing these people most half of them are probably lawyers and they're, focusing on individual words. I'm telling you this. They are banning the trading of individual stocks. That's it think about it in legalese i'm not hearing anything about options. If you look at these reports last year, options trading is the type of trading that exploded. Stock trading actually went down, i'm hearing nothing about options, trading and they're, trying to focus on individual stocks as if it's like, pepsi or pfizer, or something like that. We know that the federal reserve members they were just going between the overall market and bonds in a very timely, shrewd manner, and they were basically switching from bonds to the overall market before announcing one of the most insane crazy historic policies of quantitative easing ever folks.
This is what you cannot let them get away with. This is the that they play they're, doing it for votes, none of them actually give a, and this is the workaround the workaround right now, if this goes through, even if they deliberate upon all these individual things. The workaround is oh, we said no on stocks, we're still trading options. Well, okay, it was my husband, maybe not my husband.
It was my. It was my cousin or something like this or it was my partner, but we're not married. So he's actually not going to be impacted by these rules. This is a very messy situation and i'm already seeing ways in which me my stupid brain at 27 is already seeing the workarounds.
If i could see the workarounds at 27 and i'm already not like a storied political career person, they already probably have 10x the amount of workarounds, i'm telling you you got ta watch this very very closely because they're already setting up where it sounds good for headlines. Look at me i voted to like i voted yes on the stock ban, the stock trading plan, i'm doing it because this is the right thing, and this is what my constituents want. I'm telling you folks. This is not it the way it's being worded.
It's and they're feeding it to the entire public as if they're doing something good and right now they aren't. They are 100, not doing it. I've thought about this a lot and i still maybe there's some issues in my plan, but i i still think it's far better than what's already being pitched to us and here's my plan. If i was the politician, writing the rule right now, i don't care what type of trading it could be.
Stock trading options, trading, cryptos trading, futures trading - you could be, it doesn't matter, name the trading, throw it on this list. What i think should be done is one of two things: one instantaneous reporting as soon as the trade is executed. It goes to the public, none of this 45 day window stuff and then another 45 days to let us get us on the daily basis. Where there's like, theoretically a 90 day window, no anyone should trade, you and the immediate family members, all trades instantaneously reported or what i would argue even better is you file and then the trade is executed 24 hours later. If you want to buy tesla now. Well too bad you fill out the report, it goes public and then the trade is executed 24 hours later. That would be every member of congress and also their family members. To me, that's a better workaround because hey if they want to buy whatever, because like right now, there's just too many specifics, they're, not talking about options and they're, not talking about overall etfs, it's still, let's just make it more transparent.
None of this, like dog and pony, show of like hey, look at we're trying to help you out. I'm telling you the workaround is utter transparency, instantaneous reporting, instantaneous or better than that you file. It goes public 24 hours before that and then right after as soon as that, 24-hour window is up. The trade is executed to me.
That's the workaround, i'm talking futures crypto option stock, everything in the middle and it applies to all members of congress. These congressional staffers and family members, i think, that's the real work around, because i'm already seeing this setup, where they're basically going to be duping the public once again and they're, going to be doing it for votes when, in reality, they're just going to go to trading Options on these stocks or they're going to go to trading etfs, even though they still have sensitive data that can impact the overall economy and maybe not just an individual company, it's so so silly do not let them get away with this. I know i'm getting a little bit fired up and hang on just because this um this makes me always feel a little bit better. Hang on.
How do i get this right here? Uh hang on this always just makes me laugh, hang on. Let me lower my blood sugar yeah, i'm the triggered one right now. I should be putting this above my head when in reality i was just looking to uh right there. Oh man, i already feel better all right, let's go into the next thing.
We do have a bit of a positive development, we're talking about the sec and settlement cycle pre when you buy. You actually aren't like the trade's, not technically confirmed until two days later, like you buy, it's not officially done done for two days. It's the settlement cycle. Previously this took five days, then they lowered it to three days now they're at two days.
Well, today, in the open meeting with the sec, which we were listening to a little bit this morning, there was a discussion of like okay. Can we actually get this down to one day and um? Fortunately, there was actually a pretty positive response to it and i'll explain why we wanted to go down to one day. Today's proposal represents a relatively simple calculus, reducing the time it takes for securities transactions to settle generally reduces risk credit risks, market risk, liquidity, risk and, importantly, potential systematic risk that risk reduction, even when balance against the cost to achieve it should ultimately result in cost savings. Throughout the system, as less margin is required by clearing agencies, beautiful beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful right now in that two-day window, that's where a lot of the bs! That's where a lot of the baloney! That's where a lot of the shenanigans take place because hey someone goes short well technically, it doesn't clear for two days, so we have two days to go, find those shares um in terms of risk of like capital right now. What they're doing is - and you've probably heard about this with robin hood when they didn't have enough money at the dtcc? Well, that's because they weren't doing it on gross positions of trading throughout the day they were hoping for it to be net at the end of the day. So this many people bought this many people sold. What's the net difference all right cool roughly we have that much money. We can cover what we need to.
Well, that's all stuff, that's available now, because of that window. This allows it and i'm not necessarily against netting this concept of netting i'll, get into that in a bit more, but with it i'm telling you with that window. That's where some of this stuff happens and like also the lack of data when i'm like okay to find out like with the shorts being returned. Well, we don't know for two more days, there's just a delay.
It's it's slow um. So this will help speed things up and i think a natural right here. First of all, shout out to commissioner allison herron lee uh being very, very supportive of this um. This is positive stuff and okay, it's not gon na change overnight.
It's currently open up for, like the commentary period and what they're looking to do is actually enact this by march 31st 2024, which basically means after the comment period, which we're basically in right now, they're gon na have two years to implement this. And yes, there is a technical overhaul. You are shifting market structure. This isn't something that they just go into their computer and instead of t plus one they like backspace and they're, like okay, we're gon na make it like t we're making a team one.
Now, when it was just t2 way way more than that, there is um infrastructure related overhaul, that's going to take place. Hence why it's in 2024, but hey. It means we're at least on the schedule, because before this there was no little x mark on the calendar. So like once again, this is a positive development, we're in commentary right now um.
So i really like what's going on, but a question from this is like before it took five days to settle. Then it took three days to settle now we're at two we're looking to go to one. A natural question is like well hang on. If we're going through this overhaul from two to one, why don't we just go to like t0 instantaneous or maybe t evening, and that's where you're getting into the difference of like okay? Are we trading on gross positions like as soon as they buy like you have to have the money someone's buying someone selling and it's instantaneous or because right now, it's like net at the end of the day, and everyone comes to like the dtcc and they're, like Okay, i bought this much. You sold that much like, let's switch everything um, so there are pros and cons there, and i lead on the side that i would prefer instantaneous settlement, but with the current technological infrastructure. I think the way to do that is actually not even with the technology we have. I think blockchain is the answer to it. Like the thing, that's literally a ledger, that's tracking, who owns what i think we would have to get to the point of like somehow blockchain being involved and i'm sure there are other technological solutions.
I'm not saying it's the only one, i'm saying it's the one. That's very popular right now. It has a lot of support behind it. So that's the difference from going t1 t2 to t1.
Is we already? The current technology can make it happen, there's just some infrastructure overhaul, but then to go to t0 to t instantaneous. That's a bit of a bigger jump now, with all this being said, and they did go into more detail. Uh there's an interesting write-up once again on dave lowers twitter. Please check that out.
Um systema s-i-f-m-a actually said that they think that this drop from t2 to t1 will actually increase the amount of ftds and they were posing that as like a negative thing of like hey, you shouldn't. Do it because there's going to be more fails to deliver - and i understand that i i do truly understand that take on the situation, but you know what i don't understand is. Why is so much trading being done? Where someone doesn't have something they need either? They don't have the stocks or they don't have the cash. Why is so much being executed upon where the initial buyer and or seller does not have what they are required to have, which is why i'm a bigger fan of instantaneous and the trade just doesn't go through unless the person has the capital or the other person Has whatever, in this scenario the particular asset would be so overall market calendars? I know it's a little bit out, but march 31st 2024 looks like we will be getting a speed up in the settlement and i'm hoping right as this is really getting going on.
It seems like it takes a bit of time. I hope the next discussion is like okay. How can we speed it up even more but understand it's not one of these things that the the column of pros is exclusively that there are some cons. It's a bit of a trade-off. I definitely recommend reading through what is or isn't going on. The final thing i have for you is just an interesting development and we're talking about payment for order flow, and this just once again, whenever i see stuff like this it just it continues to make me mad. There are well-known people within this community who are allegedly apes, who are allegedly fighting for whatever market transparency, whatever you want to call it uh, making the playing field a little bit more level for everyone that are still actively trading specifically on weeble, i'm telling you people Behind closed doors, when i have these conversations, people you probably watch day in and day out, are actively trading on weeble, yet they're campaigning against payment for order flow. Don't ask me it's hypocrisy at its finest, but just to really drive home the point.
This just came out. Retail investors lose out when brokers sell their orders, i.e payment for order flow. The dutch markets watchdog has warned that retail customers usually get a worse price when their trades are sent to venues that pay for investors orders adding to intense regulatory scrutiny of the controversial practice. The afm, which is the uh dutch authority for financial markets, found customers, were hit with a higher price in 70 to 85 of cases when, if those same orders were sent to more competitive markets, wait whoa whoa whoa hang on.
Let's bring that back for a second. The amf found customers were hit with a higher price in 70 to 85 percent of cases. If those same orders were sent to more competitive markets. Now, yes, they're doing more of a deep dive into the european markets, but we're even seeing that here in the u.s public right here, the one that i have been trying to shove down everyone's throat has ar they've done their own studies.
75 of their trades have been hitting a lit exchange. The other 25 is only not going there if they have the legal obligation to go off exchange because they found you a better price, 75 percent of the time. The best price is on a lit exchange. It blows my mind so not only do i think it's hypocritical of people who are still training on it.
Now that we know what we know, i get it i pitch weeble, i didn't know about payment for order flow, and now i'm, i guess in a certain sense trying to put in the effort to explain to everyone the true like nature of the current situation, but Even for this, even if they don't want to do it out of, for whatever reason, it's literally better for you you're going to get better quality execution going on a lit exchange, it blows my mind. I i don't know: wall street training firms have paid almost three billion dollars to retail brokers, such as robinhood to manage their trades in 2020 and 3.8 billion last year. According to bloomberg. That's why this continues is because it's a money-making machine, if you truly have issues with market makers, retail wholesalers, ken griffin, citadel securities, virtue all these players, if you're truly against it trading on robinhood trading on weeble trading on these brokerages. That, like follow the business practice of payment for order flu, you are literally lining their pocket. I'm not talking about that hedge fund, i'm talking about market makers. These people are commonly not taking directional bets, they're, always playing the spread. If they're, if you're, hitting the ass they're hitting the bid, if they're hitting the bid you're hitting the ass they're, always playing the opposite side of your trade, it's not like they're taking a directional bet on the stock.
They don't care. If it goes up, they don't care. If it goes down, they care that you're trading, that's how they make their money they are in and out before you can blink your eyes, folks. That is how this works.
Once again, i'm talking about market makers, not hedge funds, hedge funds are directional players, we're talking about the specialty type of high frequency traders, ie market makers, i.e citadel securities, i.e the people who are making a killing off of you as you trade, on robin hood. As you, trade on weeble blows my mind that i'm still having to bring this up now with all that being said, look at that timing. I deserve a pat on the back right before that bell goes ding any ding, ding ding. We have one minute left.
Oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man, oh man! Where are we at all right cool? So today i was calling out 1825. We got rejected the first time, the second time, the third time, the fourth time we're officially breaking through. This is an official technical breakout on amc. Unless something crazy happens in the final 30 seconds of the day yeah, it clearly looks like we're getting this technical breakout on pretty decent volume.
We traded 74 million today, with the average 10 day volume being 53.. Jimmy also had a technical breakout, we're currently trading a hair below 125 and we're the volume's not the best, but it's above average we traded 3.8 million shares with the average being 3.2, so both of these have broken above a key price level on higher volume. That's the definition of a breakout, i'm liking, it i'm really liking it. The question is: okay, let's see what tomorrow brings remember with tomorrow.
The casino is closed. Beyond this, don't forget tomorrow, what's really going to be messing with the market? Is this consumer price index report? The white house is already putting out statements to try to prepare people for the fact that inflation's going to come in hot? That is something that's going to be considered tomorrow. It's not going to be the day of individual equities. Tomorrow is going to be the day of indices, going up or down, and either bringing all these individual equities with them or bringing all the individual equities down with them. It's going to be up or down based on the spy based on the cues based on the russell. I strongly believe that's what everyone needs to be paying attention to overall bask in today's success. Not only are we getting a little bit of a development on the political front, where i i think i like the vibe, but i think they're still a little bit off base of like really how they're going to execute it. Um with the sec love the settlement cycle reduction from t2 to t1, and i also like that.
There's people over in dutch land who are finally looking at the fact that payment for order flow is no bueno and it's time that the world gets off of it. And on top of that, the cherry on top is the fact that there's so much green in the markets today, so hey amc ended the day up. Fifteen percent jimmy ended the day up. Seven percent prague ended the day up ten percent, the spy that accused the russell up 1.4 up 2.12 and up 1.9 respectively lots of green in the market, and then, of course, let's give that quick snapchat over here at crypto, btc ripping east ripping sheep ripping avalanche, Ripping seems like a lot of things are ripping right now, so i very much hope that you're making a lot of money.
