You guys so you hello, hello, what's going on, i hope, you're having an absolutely phenomenal fantastic, amazing, great day boy. Oh boy, did they pull out the uno reverse card on the market today, craziness craziness, craziness, horrific whipsaws, back and forth. I mean the start of the day. The start start was bullish.

Then we went bearish now right now we're going bullish again, big big swings. Big big percentage moves a lot going on. Interestingly, it does seem to be particularly in the world of equities. If you look at crypto, crypto right now is like super super flat has pretty much been uh barcoding trading flat flat line for really the whole day now interesting stuff.

Overall, yes, the market did pull the uno reverse card, but things are still very much in the red relative to where we closed yesterday. So, basically, it's trying to claw its way back up from a bunch of gap, downs that we saw this morning but uh as of now not really getting there, but you never know how this is going to go by the end of the day. Uh. I want to talk about the markets.

I want to talk about some charts and all that good stuff. I have a couple stories to share with you and then i kind of want to go on a rant, so sit back, buckle up and enjoy the ride. Uh. Just to give you a quick snapshot right here, this is what i'm talking about bullish, bearish bullish same thing in the qs um.

I was looking at the kryptos market. This is what i'm talking about like it's just trading sideways, not really too much insane amounts of action, thus far going on in crypto, you might be asking yourself wait. Is it popping because we got some positive developments in ukraine? Has that crazy, guy putin finally calmed down the answer? There is no, he hasn't. Things are still uh, pretty pretty much, not good over there.

We know this morning in case you missed this morning stream. We did have a crazy, crazy report with consumer price index. The cpi inflation is at an all-time high. Well, at least in my life, the past four decades.

We are tying the inflation report from 1982, which is just nuts that was from the consumer price index, a very, very popular inflationary gauge that the fed will be using to make their decisions next week. Don't forget, the fed fomc meeting will be next week starts on tuesday ends on wednesday. Everyone is pricing in the fact that we're going gon na get it 25 bips a quarter of one percent rate hike announcement on wednesday, so pay attention to that. So we got some volatility today, who knows what's going to happen to tomorrow and then next week, obviously we'll hopefully get a continuation in maybe some positive news in ukraine.

I don't know, but that will be adding some volatility and then we're also going to have the fed stuff. So i don't know if we'll have a positive or a negative continuation, but we're gon na get a continuation in volatility without uh. Doubt um more than happy after i share a couple of these stories to do some chart review. We could talk about short interest, all that stuff, more of like kind of an open, ama qa session whatever's on all of your mind, uh, but i do want to share some of these google cloud.

Stop accepting new customers in russia, so just once again another corporation that is stepping up and saying yeah we're not gon na they're. We have all these individual companies who are putting their own like kind of mini sanctions on russia. We've seen many sports organizations uh soccer, like a lot of these big soccer cups, not playing there uh formula, one, they are not going to be doing the russian grand prix um we're even seeing i covered that crazy story of like the international like cat competition is Apparently, like banning some sort of like russian braid of cat, i believe it's called a russian blue and now we're seeing a lot of companies recently, coca-cola pepsi, starbucks, mcdonald's mcdonald's, is a big one, because a lot of the revenue actually comes from russia. Well now google is the most recent one to say: nah we're not doing anything there, and this is google cloud.

Google has stopped accepting new customers in russia, it's the latest cloud company to halt business in the country amid the invasion of ukraine. Earlier this week, amazon announced it would stop new contracts in russia. We can confirm we are not. We are not accepting new google cloud customers in russia at this time.

We will continue to closely monitor the developments, uh they're, obviously being very specific with their words. They don't want to say that hey like we're cutting off everyone, they're just saying we're not going to allow new players. It's the latest cloud company to halt services in russia. Amazon also stopped taking new clients in both russia and belarus.

It was reported earlier this week. Microsoft, ibm and oracle have also suspended their business in russia. Another tech related story, a wealthy tech executive is using his own money to fund hundreds of foreign volunteers looking to fight against russia in ukraine. This is kind of a bonker story.

Anthony capone capone capone has been funneling his own money to help those wanting to fight in ukraine. A trip to europe a decade ago helped capone, develop and connect to ukraine in just 20. In just days, 21 volunteers have reportedly been deployed with another 1005 ready to be deployed. A wealthy tech executive is funding hundreds of volunteers to fight russian troops in ukraine, anthony the president of doc go a mobile medical services and transportation company has been funneling his own money to help foreigners who want to fight on the front lines to defend ukraine.

But don't have the means. I now have many friends in ukraine and saw their fear when the russian invasion began. Friends and family trapped communities decimated, so i made a post on linkedin to help people purchase flights. Originally i expected to sponsor 10 to 15 people.

It then went viral, and now i have over 1 200 inquiries looking for sponsorship, crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy, so he's helping him with her flights and some of their gear, but just a pretty wild story just wanted to share that uh yesterday or two days ago, we Were really talking about that wheat etf, a wheat etf, briefly ran out of shares to sell to investors as russia's invasion of ukraine led to spike in prices. I wanted to share a couple more details on it, because this is a story that you don't hear too often. A wheat-based commodity etf briefly ran out of shares to sell to investors following a price bike. The reason it's going up is ukraine's a big exporter of wheat, but for obvious reasons, they're not really worried about exporting too much wheat right now, the wheat fund received approval from the sec to sell more shares of its etf on wednesday.

Wheat prices have soared as much as 70 percent since russia launched its invasion of ukraine. A wheat based commodity etf briefly ran out of shares to sell to investors, as investors piled into the fund amid a price spike in the grain. Now, if you're coming from the amc or gme community, you might just be asking yourself why not just make fake shares great question? I don't know the answer, but it seems like they went about this in the legitimate, accurate way the wheat fund said it was forced to suspend the creation of new shares of its etf on monday, due to soaring demand from investors. The commodity-based etf operates as a commodity pool and has a fixed amount of 7.4 million shares.

It could sell to investors basically the sec ultimately granted. The fund approval to create new shares on wednesday in, like kind of a rush, urgent, expedited type of a thing. The sec has accelerated a new registration statement filed by the fund for an indefinite amount of new shares and the offer and sale the fund shares have commenced. So basically they're just gobbling up some wheat and by the end of that day, on monday, they did turn it back on.

I just wanted to share a little bit more about that story, because i thought it was interesting that they're, like yo, we literally don't have any more that's how many people are buying wheat right now. Another crazy story of things just like not working as they should and being shut down as it relates to russia. One million option contracts on biggest russia etf is in limbo. This is a crazy, interesting story.

The suspension of trading in the world's largest russia etf has left the fate of options worth hundreds of millions of dollars hanging. So the van eck russia, etf, ticker symbol, rsx once again, rsx after the market closes on friday, as the fallout of the russian invasion of ukraine made the funds underlying securities practically impossible to trade. At the time there were about 1 million options tied to the etf worth roughly 285 million dollars and as you're about to say, see. The earliest ones that are going to expire are tomorrow the 11th.

But the issue is, is it's not trading and the question is like well, what happens when you have an option? That's expiring, but the underlying thing is no longer trading the options. Clearing corp, also known as the occ typically automatically exercises options on expiry. If they're in the money - but it's said in a memo on tuesday - that it will stop doing it if the fund is still not trading by the expiration date, that's because if the product is not trading, there's no way to value the fund and determine if the Options are in the money. How could you know you can't base it on its closing price, because there's a good chance that it would be valued way way less, so there's going to be a lot of put holders who are like what do you mean? I'm definitely in the money, but it's one of these things that how do you do anything when an option is a legal contract that expires on a certain date? But if things aren't trading, how could you possibly price it? Excuse me, the only way investors could be able to exercise an option is if they reach out to their broker and request it.

The occ has basically told us they don't know what these things are worth. They don't want to make a decision as to what it's worth. They will leave it for option holders to make that decision for themselves, but it is important for the option holders to understand that any decision they make carries a lot of risk because they won't know the full consequences of the decision for an indeterminate amount of time. This is crazy.

This is such a complicated, convoluted situation. So basically, you have an equity or some sort of underlying asset. Then options are derivatives based on that an option so basically you're going to have a contract that you can exercise up to and including a certain date for a certain price. So you can exercise that, but we're now in this very, very weird limbo where you don't know what the underlying assets gon na be worth so uh the way i'm interpreting this from the occ they're saying, hey, feel free to exercise and you could take delivery.

If you want, but just understand the thing that you're attempting to take delivery on it's an indeterminate amount of time, the other option is right. Now, the no pun intended but options, they have an expiration date and if you just let that run over well, you didn't execute on the contract. Uh very very complex situation: um man, oh man, i'm i don't even know how i would personally like make any decision based on that, but that is ridiculous. Once again the etf is rsx and it does not look like it will be training any time soon.

All right so with that being said, let's go back to some of these charts we're seeing still a little bit of strength as we're getting into close here, especially in the spy, the q's kind of doing their thing, cei hanging out at 107.. Tesla beautiful bounce off of 8 10.. I definitely took profits way too early. I took profits at 8 35 early this morning.

Um or maybe it was 8 30.. I don't even know what it was, but it was early this morning i could have made quite a bit more if i just waited um cei not doing too much. This is what i'm talking about. We have a sea of red over here: lots of red red red red red uh.

Amc is currently trending at 1528 gme holding on to 100 uh at just above 100, 105 amc and jimmy both are low volume today iwm a hair below 200 key psychological level. Q's above 331 and the spy just below 425. um, let's check in on muln the last time i saw it not looking the best. It's just kind of flatlining right now, amc getting a little bit of bounce back more than happy to watch it and we get a little bit of bullishness into close.

I wanted to talk about one thing with all of you. I know we have well what i don't know whatever amount of time left. Oh, if you haven't already don't forget to hit that like button, helps me out through your algorithm and don't forget to join up the moon game by hitting the subscribe button. I know it's super super annoying for me to remind you, but look at it this way.

The more i remind you as soon as everyone on the planet subscribes and likes my video, then i can be done. It's kind of that simple. So as long as you help me out and getting literally everyone on this planet to subscribe to my channels, then i could finally stop so it's more on you than it is on me anyway. I digress.

What i want to talk about uh is a little bit at first, it's going to sound like it's crypto related, but it's really just more of my disdain for government. So there's been a lot of chatter, about a central bank, digital currency, a c b d c. Central bank, digital currency and there's already one rocket in china, the us doesn't have one in yesterday in the executive order. They basically said: hey we're going to be looking into it.

We don't know if we're going to want one, but we're going to do a little bit of research, and this is one of those things that it inherently goes against a core aspect of crypto. It's no longer decentralized. The whole point is to have a government not messing around with it, but then, as i was looking into it, and it did come from a particular interview talking about um digital currencies across the pond there - and i believe this was on a joe rogan podcast. If you had this, there is a chance.

If it does go this way, there is a chance that the technology could be used to like literally control what you can buy like if we have a central bank digital currency, as in like, let's just say, there's a digitized usd remember all that the beauty and The transparency and the tracking, which is like kind of a cool aspect of crypto, at least in my mind, it comes back to one of these things where well. If the government is looking at all this, they can literally it's not hard, then to code be like well hang on, like we just gave you this kind of stimulus, you're not allowed to use it on that it. To me, this concept and the more and more i think about it, the more disdain i have and honestly i have to be fair, there's some very intelligent people who are calling this out and saying now we actually like they're, going to look into it, but they're, Probably not going to follow through with it, i'm not saying that we are going to have one, but in the unlikely chance that we do do you know how scary the thing that is of like they already control our lives, basically through holding so much of our Country in debt, like as a government, i don't think that's surprising to anyone that they basically have invisible shackles around many many people within the u.s. Some of the recent stats that we actually saw being reported this morning of roughly two-thirds of people in the u.s are currently living paycheck to paycheck two out of three that's coming out of the recent numbers within the past.

Like couple weeks and like i mean we've been talking about that, i was already talking about that. Like a couple days ago, two out of three people are currently living paycheck to paycheck i mean i know it doesn't feel like we're necessarily like that constrained in, like the pure dictionary definition of things, but there's no, if ands or buts about it in one way Or another, the average person in america is somehow beholden to the government for sure, there's no way anyone's going to convince me like otherwise we definitely are and like one of the most common ways is truly through debt. That's like i, don't think. That's many like surprising.

Many people right here and then the way i see this is whenever there's a little modicum of power for our government to seize. They love seizing it. They're uh they're, it's very glare, very gluttonous in that manner and then all of a sudden, if they do follow through on this central bank, this uh digital currency of the cbdc it it could be really utilized. And we were talking about this more in the crypto stream just earlier on today, it's a surveillance tool, i mean already, everyone already went up in arms when that dim wit, yellen was saying that they should track everything for like a 600 expenditure.

Now imagine if they tracked every single portion of a cent of your life to me. That's just too much i mean uh, it always blows my mind and maybe i'm too young, maybe i'm too naive, and maybe i just don't know enough about how the world really works, but on either side. If you're republican or democrat, it always blows my mind whenever there's a vote for bigger government, when has a bigger government ever proven itself to be a good decision. Um, like i said, maybe i just don't know enough about politics.

Maybe i should become more informed, but i i don't. I can't find a single example when we gave up more power to the government and we gave up - i guess autonomy in one way or another over our lives that it is panned out. Well, i i cannot find an example of that so whenever and like this becomes a hot topic thing and everyone's like oh wait, matt are you, are you republican? Are you democrat? I them all like they're all. Maybe they started out with good intentions, most of them in there damn near all of them are there for personal betterment, which to me is literally in direct opposition to the oath they take when they get into that office.

They're there for personal gain, whether it be financial power or most likely, a combination of the two. I don't care, if you're a democrat or republican, i don't give a i just don't like them. Why would i like them, look what's going on they, when all of a sudden you get to these positions through underhanded tactics, smear campaign always over promising on everything and just literally being as fickle as possible? And just looking at the poll numbers, i don't know who they are as a person, all all they do is have some sort of math stat nerd, like myself saying hey, we just got the numbers from the poll. You should probably vote this way because that's what people want you know nothing about them as an actual person or their thoughts or what they're, saying or doing or thinking behind closed doors and once again don't take that as a republican or a democrat thing.

If you do you're most likely a little bit too biased to your own party um, i guess it's a statement that my dad always said and it's something that i thought is like. Sometimes in life you just get caught up and you're just a middle-of-the-road extremist, and i don't even know if i'm middle of the road anymore, because i just don't like them. I just i just don't like them. Just politicians, politicians don't like it.

It doesn't matter the like the color or whatever side of the aisle they're in and then i was thinking more and more about this, and this was just like one little particular example of them seizing power and attempting to like control our lives, and it's just so Wild, so if you wanted to talk a little about politics, you have one party where you end up paying more in taxes and then the other party, you end up paying more through inflation. So no matter what it's just! Do you play it's just? How do you pay? Do you pay more of like sending the money to the government, or do you pay more than just like the cost of everything, and this recent run that we've seen all the money went to corporations? I mean look at the stock market if you're questioning where the money went - and you saw all of these things - of like the trillions and trillions of dollars that were printed out of thin air, they bought bonds, they helped the repo market, they bet they created bonds. They bought corporate bonds, they bought mortgage-backed securities, it all ended up in the market like there's, not many people that were like oh good thing. I got that one stimulus check and now all of my financial woes are taken care of and then on the flip side.

The i'm never gon na. I think it's common to look at all these people and, like i hate these, these particular headlines that they're, like hey like last year, sucked for you financially but guess how much more worth like jeff, bezos or elon musk or those types of fellas are well. That's a bit of a red-hairing argument, let's be honest, like i'm not here to protect billionaires, they're billionaires, they can protect themselves. But let's just think about this for one.

Second, it's not like the government, all the sun's like hey here's money, what they did through quantitative easing, basically put a backstop on the stock market. These people, they don't have billions of dollars in their bank, account they have equity in a company and when you're, in a scenario where all stocks are running and you're still the 20 owner of tesla, such as elon musk. Well, your 20 equity is worth quite a bit more um, so i i do think it's a bit of a red herring argument to be like look at billionaires are worth this much more. It's like! Well, it's not liquid.

They have equity in a company and then there's also like business implications. Let's call it if they were to give up that equity. There's no person on this planet that just has billions in a bank account. It doesn't work like that, and also typically, if you're a billionaire, you have people either you're smart or you have people around you that are smart and they also know because of inflation.

It would be stupid for them to just like have that straight up cash. So, let's be a little bit more realistic of those types of headlines and i still think it's in a way it's like kind of like a smoke and signal tactic. Really it is of like hang on, let's be enraged at these people and not focus on the fact that maybe we have a very poor and some would say, an underperforming government um. It's a very it's kind of like a like a bait and switch tactic.

I feel in a certain sense like these: did they have anything to do with the fact that our federal reserve decided to do one of the most like insane quantitative eating policy, easing policies ever i don't know, maybe some of them. That's probably something worth looking into all these wall street and all these corporations lobbying that's something i think i would care more about is: did our government make decisions based on what they thought was best for the nation, their constituents, their country, their town whatever? Or was it because the lobbyists paid them? That's where the question should be. Is it's weird when we have a system that involves so much money being donated to pacs and super pacs and getting them reelected right away that takes away any of the purity in the sense of them doing what they should be do like what they truly think Is best because they're just being paid off by every single industry? I know it's a very common joke, but it's honestly just so hilariously accurate, the way nascar they show up in their suits and it's just like they show who they're sponsored by really that's how our congress, people should be our congressmen or congresswomen. I want to know who's paying them, it's so ridiculous and, like then, just inherently they're, like i said before, like uh, just power, hungry, gl, endless people, so they're fickle anyway and they're gon na do anything they can to keep that position.

Just this overall system. We have going it's crazy, crazy, crazy and it is so ripe for greed that i think even people who start out with the best of intentions. I don't even think they could get to that next level of when they can enact true change without, like i, i think they just have to give it up. I i don't think you can get to the highest levels of government with in one way or another doing something that if the public found out about it you'd be like oh holy, that's messed up.

I just don't see the system right now and it's so much of the money, involvement of politics. It's so so messed up, so so messed up man, the spy's ripping the keys are putting. Oh just so you guys know i still have my spy puts. I still have my russell puts, and this is exactly why i gave myself time i wanted next week's expiration uh just because in a day-to-day like there's such gyrations and uh vaguerities within the market, that when i'm playing these uh honestly, i probably wish i even bought A longer one, but the minimum like there's no way i'm gon na play dailies.

That's just like really messing around with fire. However corrupt. Do you think it is ten times it? That's probably a good starting point uh. So many people were literally writing checks to donald trump yeah, but uh you could do it on both sides.

Like the clintons, you know how much money the clintons got for speaking and then all of a sudden, whatever company or something that they spoke at like, however, longer like months down the road there was in one way or another, like a kickback, you know how much Yellen has been paid for speaking at citadel. All of them do it once again. It is not a right or left thing i mean. I know we talk about pelosi who's on the left side, but everyone i talked about yesterday was on the right side.

If you think corruption is dominated by one party honestly, political corruption is probably the most bipartisan thing we currently have going on like it's just i should that's actually a good saying the most bipartisan thing, like political corruption, is the most bipartisan thing we have that's so Innately true someone put that on a shirt, sell it sell it, sell it, sell it and then buy some yolo out of the money, calls on some sketchy stock thoughts on imp and indios. Since this morning i mean it's going to be directly related to oil. Oil is currently trading at 106. if it's all based on crude oil, if crude oil bounces, which i think it will those are going to go back up, what else do we have? Oh man, i must have been ranting for way too long.

The market is almost about to close, so here's your two minute warning, if you're trying to make a trade uh before the market closes uh, definitely getting it in there, get it in there before the thing goes: ding ding, ding ding. What else do we have? What else do we have? What are my feelings about tomorrow tomorrow, on a friday we're getting to the end of the week uh? Obviously there could be we're not really gon na get like more inflationary numbers or anything like that, but obviously you could always get some random headline out of ukraine. The situation is not really improving that much um. My thoughts on tomorrow are just more wild swings like this.

I don't think we'll have a clear direction. Obviously the spy didn't break down, but every time we keep touching this 420 support, it will just get weaker and weaker and weaker um. I don't know i'll be here, obviously calling stuff out in real time, i'm leaning a little bit more bearish still because i just don't see the situation resolving, but the spy and the russell i still have my puts on that's so my active position and i'm still Long on oil, i don't know what are your thoughts, red or green tomorrow. Everyone call it out if you had to call out the s p 500.

What do you think will have a red or a green day, red or a green day? When is the fed's talk, uh next wednesday, we're going to hear from them a lot blue, ding, ding, ding ding. The casino is closed. That's what we have in stock for you all! You cool people. That's it! That's all! She wrote today um today, thursday march 10th.

Yes, we will be back tomorrow, i'll, be posting some vlog content on this channel and on the crypto channel and obviously, if you're on rumble it's all on one channel uh, so we'll be posting. Some vod content tomorrow will be a normal streaming day. Just so all of you know, if you're basing your schedule off of mine it'll be a normal day for me, so i hope to see you there. I don't know if it's your morning evening afternoon night, whatever it is, i hope you're having an absolutely b e.

A util day, i truly appreciate your time, even if you spent a second with me. Uh talk about a commodity that is always going down. It is time, but that's more of a philosophical debate that we could have another time. Thank you so so much for everyone who dropped a like for everyone who joined up with the moon gang.

I truly truly appreciate it and, as always from me, and share best of luck in the markets hope to catch you tomorrow, you.
