Foreign, so um you guys so so you guys we are going to get into some tinfoil hatty stuff on this particular video, this particular stream. Folks, i'm excited yes, we'll be doing a quick little look at the market to see where it is right now and let me tell you it's pretty freaking green we're gon na be looking at the short interest, so you know how we're going to close out the Week and get up for next week, but really there's two crazy different stories. I want to get into um, i don't know which one's more wild. No, i know which one's more wild and, like i'm saying it's gon na, get pretty um tin, foil hattie up in here.

So i hope you have your hat already, but with all that being said, i don't want to build up the suspense, we'll save all this suspense building for the olympics. Let's hop right into it so, like i said we are crushing it spy up 1.19. The queue is up 2. If i'm being honest, i was long on the qs it got down.

I got scared, i went out, went short and then just got ripped all day and right when we broke to a new high. I closed my position, didn't want to get emotional and i'll just hopefully make some of that money back next week. Amc is crushing it up. Four point: eight four percent jimmy's up three percent amc trading at 1560, gme over 100 trading at 102.

and even the russell is up one percent. So overall think, like i mean look at this very, very green. You know what else is super green crypto btc is finally back above 40 000.. We did an in-depth dive into btc east, some of the hottest daily crypto news on that crypto stream feel free to check that out.

But overall man, oh man, look at like look at these nice like there's so much green. This is such an awesome money-making opportunity and that leads me to believe that the shorts are in trouble. Amc short interest: 21.7, a hair below 20 s, p. 500.

335. The qs 24.76 and then the russell 42 across the board. We are seeing sky high short interest, not only in individual equities, but also in overall market etfs that are tracking these indices. These shorts are 100 feeling the pain right now.

How could they not be feeling the pain at this exact moment? So that's your quick little snapshot of what's going on, but i do want to like, i said, dive into two distinct stories: numero uno, you got ta check this out democratic candidates, blast biden and pelosi for not pushing congress to pass a stock trade ban for lawmakers. Get in the ring, we want a rumble well, this is kind of interesting, and this is something that this community has been following closely and it's something i'm even on top of that very particularly passionate about like whenever i see these updates, i feel the need to Kind of inform you of, i guess the elitism and the cronyism that's currently going on in u.s politics, u.s senate candidate, tom nelson disbelief as leaders of his own democratic party, resist banning members of congress from buying and selling sauk, namely pelosi. But there are obviously others and it's on both sides of the aisle. This isn't a left or right thing.

This is like a politician thing: uh nelson, the county's elected executive bamboozled. He was bamboozled hoodwinked, bewildered whatever you want to call it not having the best reaction by president joe biden's unwillingness to back any of the several bipartisan plans that have emerged and re-emerge um. On the back of the fact that all these reports have been flowing in numerous financial conflicts of interest and widespread violations, all on the political front biden addressed this by saying congress should determine what rules should be hey, determine what rule should be. That's not me, i'm the executive branch, your congress - let's not worry about that, and i get it.

The executive branch cannot make rules for congress. I get that i paid attention that one class in social studies, but don't forget that they can still share their opinion. Like i get that they can't legislate anything but hey like and just you know, the executive branch is already banned from training, but man like you could be. You are the leader of the free world.

You could be like yeah. Maybe we should not do that uh but nelson said it's a bad mistake for biden to sit this one out he's got to get in the ring. He can't lead from behind that's a very good line. You can't leave from behind.

I think all the physics students in here would be like. No, that seems very tough. Uh democrats need to win. We need a big win.

I'm concerned that he's not embracing the issue. I would scratch that i would say politicians need a win. They need a big win right now. Uh, the public's opinion of like congress of politicians in general, is in the gutter.

Maybe do something a little something to try to win back the trust of the public and once again, not left not right, all of them. U.S senate candidate, lucas um - i don't know how would you cunts lucas cunts in missouri figures he's from missouri to have a last name like that in missouri not only wants to ban members of congress from trading sucks, but he also wants to toss them in jail. If they don't comply, you know, do i know how to say your last name, mr gentleman from missouri. Absolutely not, but do i like the cut of your jib 100 lucas, you and i and our we're two guys that could definitely get a beer together.

He wants to toss them in jail if they don't comply. I love it. I love that u.s senate candidate, john fetterman in pennsylvania, said wednesday that there still isn't any voter i've ever spoken to that says. Yes, we should allow members of congress to either protect their investments or make money boss based off the information they come into contact with well duh uh.

Recently we had that story on aoc, i'm not saying i agree with her on everything, but on this particular issue, i think she is on the retail public side, uh democratic republican, aoc and senate elizabeth warren and the right house, minority leader, kevin mccarthy and senator john Hawley have singled their support for banning their colleagues from trading stocks. Members of congress have access to highly confidential information that the public does not, but this still legal thanks to politicians who only look out for their own bottom line. That is so right. That's what it is it's one of these points that, like they can run on a campaign of like for the people, but then when they get into the office they're not doing that whatsoever, they care about their own bottom line.

Obviously this all really picked up steam. Recently, uh pelosi's endorsement of lawmakers right to trade. Individual stocks filed recently by a reluctant court change is particularly vexing because it cuts against the what most democrats want congress to do it's what most constituents want congress to do, but remember this is not bipartisan. There are people on the right and on the left, who don't want this to continue republican u.s senate blake masters in arizona for one is already attempting to outflank democrats by embracing a stock ban even former president donald trump, arguably, the most financially conflicted president in us History has chimed in saying in january that members of comics trading individual stocks is not right, not appropriate.

You know that's a very fair point. Donald trump, the most financially conflicted, president in the us is even saying. Well, that's even a little bit much for me. That's that's pretty funny, that's pretty rich um uh and overall, this is revealing their willingness to prioritize capitalism over democracy uh.

We can't have stupid decisions coming out of washington if we want to win - and i wouldn't say win as in just the democratic party and the people who are running for those days. But i would say: hey politicians need to win, do something to win back a little bit of trust from the public. So i wanted to share that once again. This stuff is always incredibly interesting to me just because it's that insane that we even have to discuss it.

It's actually kind of sad and if you're not laughing at this you're, probably gon na end up crying. So i would definitely recommend going with the laughing route, but man, oh man, it's it blows my mind that we have to discuss this like to me. This is such an obvious thing of either stop them all from training or make it instantaneous reporting. None of this 45 day window bs - i my favorite solution to this - is they file and then the trade automatically gets executed 24 hours later.

There should be a like a public database that anyone can access and you file it, and then the trade. It's like a 24-hour lag: 24 hours later the trade gets executed um. I i just transparency, it's honestly that simple transparency, transparency, transparency and, let's hope we can get it. I think it's one of those things that, as long as we choose to not go quiet on the issue, there are hundreds of thousands, even millions of people who are on our side in this very particular fight.

And with that, just like the numbers on our side and also, i think, just ethics and morality on our side, i don't see how we could really particularly lose that fight. You know it's been a wild ride over the past year past couple months past couple weeks and one of the stories that's made it so so wild was this vast doj probe looks at almost 30 short selling firms and allies. We know recently that actually got notched up to 60. and it's basically short selling friends.

These people who write these research papers and okay, is it like? Are they being paid to do it? Is it stock bashing, there's various things that have to be considered and that's why there is a department of justice probe and recently just to give you an idea of what's going on this just came out today, fbi sees computers from short seller andrew left from, i Believe citron other subpoena in vast probe, so the doj is not messing around and this is something that we covered in hey, let's see if we can find out some information in between videos today, someone tagged me in something on twitter and i get tagged in a Lot of things, but none of them really to this extent, have prompted me to go down such a rabbit hole where trust me, my tinfoil hat was secured. So with all that being said, i would love to for a second come up, get some air and get all of your attention and bring you down the rabbit hole with me. Let me explain how my day went craig right here, craig settles. He tagged me at matt coors, i like it, i like it.

No, he he's a man, a very efficient man, no message, no, nothing, just matt cores just the tag, and then this is the thing that caused me to spend hours going into a rabbit hole and obviously he's just referring to someone else's tweet that came out this Morning, why isn't this all over twitter - and this is from 4a foray underscore coin, so shout out to both you craig and foray, whoever you are um, you caused me to do hours and hours of research and boy. Oh boy, let me tell you what i found so. First of all, i was looking into information related to td ameritrade, it's a very, very well-known brokerage. In fact, at the start of this year, i opened up an account to use it for options, training and as you're about to find out, i might not be using it much longer well to get information about it.

You can look up what's referred to as a form adv form adv is the uniform form used by investment advisors to register, with both the sec and state security authorities. Now there's various parts to it and it's a lot of information. So, for example, just part one requires information about the investment advisors, business ownership, clients, employees, business practices, affiliations and any disciplinary events, uh of for advisors or as employees. And then it's just bunch of information.

This form adv, and these are the kind of people who have to follow it so anyway, as you follow what you should do to the letter of the law, you're going to be filing these a lot of these and i'm sure, there's like if different states, different Cities, anyway, you can look these up, so you look up td ameritrades right here, form adv! If you want this one, particularly you can find it yourself, crd7870 you're, going to find td ameritrade there's a lot. This is big. This is a 149 pages of stuff. That's going to be boring and causes your eyes to glaze over.

Nonetheless, i did the research for you go to page 17., all right 17 right here, off-site storage facility for records not required to be kept on site all right. This is something that basically td ameritrade is using to file papers. It's a storage facility and the address is 1200 humbract circle. I don't know, don't ask me it's in bartlett, it's in illinois uh and i guess they name their circles, weird names and hey.

It looks cool you look it up. They got some trucks, it looks fancy. You can see it. It's just a nice big circle beautiful day, everything's, fine, well and right here, 1200 hum rock circle, bartlett illinois.

So far you might be thinking to yourself but matt. What i thought you said we were going down a rabbit hole. I thought you said we were really going to have to secure our tin foil hat for this particular journey. What's going on you're, just showing me a nice looking day in illinois, and you showed me some form that i don't care about and in fact, if i'm being honest, i've already forgot the acronym that you told me about well folks.

This is what i've been prepping. You for this is what it looked like, i guess in october of 2018., you want to know what this looks like right now as of a couple hours ago. It is a fire, a fire, a fire, a fire, another fire and another fire. It is being burned to the ground, intense flames engulfed the 250 000 square foot warehouse in this block.

This is the location you know a couple years ago. It was looking good right now. It is set ablaze and apparently it's so wild and it's hard to put out and it was like the way the flames were it like took out the sprinkler system so that didn't work at all. So whatever this is it's ash.

It is ash, it is ash, it is ash, it is burned to the ground, as you can see. So once again, you can be like okay buildings burn down. Well, let's not forget that right now, a couple of days ago, the doj said right here that they are probing almost 30 short selling firms and allies. So you have these short selling firms and depending on where they are or aren't executing trades, one of them could potentially be td ameritrade, where maybe they have some hardcore copies of stuff being stored that they don't want to get to light.

I find it very odd timing that, as soon as the department of justice announces that they're doing a probe with 30 short selling firms and a very well-known brokerage td, a couple days after that ends up on fire. A literal storage facility for records not required to be kept on site. The timing of this is insane. Could it be a coincidence yeah, maybe, but, as you know, like we commonly say on this channel, if it walks like a duck talks like a duck, it's probably a duck, and so i was looking into that and i was like this is.

This is all just freaking wild, and then it got a little bit more right here, shout out to true demon, a td ameritrade facility burning to the ground containing unknown numbers of papers and records mere hours before a kp holdings associated with ken griffin and citadel playing Flies out of the u.s entirely to london, currently in flight over finland, so you're seeing the flight, and it sounds like this came from super song, but i first read it with true demon. So it's coming out like the timing of all this is just absolutely insane. Could it all be a coincidence yeah, it could be, but it's far more fun for me personally. They think that it's not when i have my tinfoil hat on this tight, so that leads me to some other things that i think we should talk about.

We've seen this before um with td. This is all really sus and if we don't get answers like i said, i've been trading on td. This calendar year started 2022. I did an options, trading challenge and i'm on.

I still have money in that account, but if this remains super suspicious and we're not getting answers, i'm done with it. This is the same thing that happened with weeble from robin hood. There was an exodus people were like. We don't like robin hood.

Let's get on weeble at one point i own that i did promote weeble because i didn't know what was going on it wasn't until this year that i learned all about payment for order flow. That's not something that's commonly discussed in the world of trading! Well, you learn about it and i was like wow that seems bad and unfortunately, this isn't true for many people that have a filing. But for me i was like that's not something i want to deal with, so i got off of weeble and it looks like we're going the exact same route with td ameritrade, because i'm refusing to in any way be a client or really, i guess, benefit the Business of these brokerages that i don't think are on our side. That's exactly why i fully got off of weeble and yeah.

It makes me mad that you see these other people continually using it. I don't understand why, but it looks like td potentially going that path. So, like i said, if we don't get any legitimate answers of what is going on, because this is so wild, hey, there's other brokerages out there, i'm just gon na go to another one. It's not that hard, but one that if it's this sauce, if like, if the fire inspector comes out - and it's like no - this wasn't an accident.

This looks like arson. If something along that, like path really starts to develop, i am going to be gone before you can possibly blink your eyes. So i just wanted to share this entire rabbit hole scenario with you as it relates to td and a fire and the department of justice probe. And i also wanted to give you that quick, little snapshot of what's currently going on in the world of politics and potentially some political insider training.

So those are the two fun stories i have for you and it looks like in that amount of time. We do see a little bit of a uh. I guess a little bit of a sell-off as we're closing out this friday, but overall things are still very, very green and i'm still massively impressed with this explosion in crypto. Look at that absolute beauty.

It's an absolute beauty. Well, so, with all of that um and all the green and all the stories uh. Let me turn it over to you for any questions. Um, we could do like a little mini ama thing um for the final 10 minutes of the show.

Matt make sure you clip this: oh okay, yeah. We i could easily clip that and get it out happy to happy too happy to if they did burn it down. They would 100 already paid off the fire inspector, so yeah def not going to be arson. That's a pretty good point.

Maybe we need to look at all the people who just wired money to the fire inspector. The fire department inspector would be replaced with someone who would play ball. These are all very, very valid points. I guess i didn't think about that.

This stuff is just so wild. Can you check out the ticker et tiblio, showing a ton of in the money call options for 218 et most of the time tiblio's at the money? Isn't it energy transfer lp um a little bit overextended to the top side, but nice development um, a nice breakout uh it might need to take a little bit of a breather, make a new higher low and then kind of go there. Be careful of the like gap? Is this technically a gap fill high of 934 low of 9.35, so technically there's a one cent gap bill that still needs to maybe be like completed down here, but overall, it's definitely showing some strength. So now that we know this is happening, how do we make money off of it um, particularly with td? I don't know if there's something that i could really come up with of like how to profit off that particular situation.

It just sounds like they're, of course, gon na try to chalk it up to being an accident uh, but the timing of it is all just like super super um concerning, in my opinion, matt do i sell amc, i don't know, i don't tell anyone to buy Or to sell or to hold, i just tell you what i'm doing, i'm telling you that i am holding and it's that simple, but i'm not really interested in telling other people what to do. I just share my own opinions and my own trades matt, i'm in weeble. What do you recommend my recommendation? Is public public public public? I don't know what's going on here, but it's just my concurrent viewership to people. You know i'm seeing a lot of comments for just only apparently two people being in here.

I don't know what is going on with youtube all right, while we're waiting for more of these questions to come in um. Don't forget if you could help me out. Uh hit that, like button, that would be awesome, don't forget to also hit the subscribe button. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, man, it's a friday and it's an olympics friday. Folks, i believe the people are already watching the opening ceremony right now, which is super cool. We are all bots.

What was my options broker? I was using td and that's what i'm saying is like the same way. I got off of weeble. It might be time for me, i don't know the next one. I'd probably look at would be like interactive brokers.

I've used them before so i'd be willing to use them again check out your twitter dms. I created a metaverse and i added you it's rad and getting a lot of traction. Thank you for all. You changed my life through your teaching.

I pay it forward to you in the community brody. Oh i'll definitely check that out brody, i don't know if you saw my um crypto stream earlier about the one who already made a casino and they're playing poker and they made like seven million dollars in like the month uh but brody. Maybe we should make like a casino in it. Some of my td trades have been suspicious michael uh.

What do you mean by that, like what part of it was suspicious in your experience? Does a situation like snap have a huge pump after earnings? Does it commonly retract so snap's hard, because this is like the first time they've ever actually had a profitable quarter since going public? So, there's not like many data points to like base it off of, but overall, when i'm looking at the success across the market like amazon, crusher queues, iwm things are coming back um. I think there's a good shot that snap might be on its way to the next level of resistance around 44., so in the longer short term, like not the shortest short term, but in the longer short term, i'd be watching 44 on snap, the spread between buy And sell became larger, interesting, interesting, interesting uh. Let me get you one thing all right cool, let's see if we can close on a nice, i'm telling you folks, i got so beat up today on trading the queues on the features market. I lost like thirteen thousand dollars, it was a beaut, it was, it was bad, it was, it was so freaking bad and i was just like getting pissed off and i knew if i just started to revenge trade.

I'd probably end up losing even more um. So around midday i was like dude. I just need to throw in the towel on the day and come back on monday, so i just like shut my futures account like i just turned it off. I was like dude.

This is just so so brutal when you're. In those circumstances, when you realize you're like just head, isn't right and you're getting angry about it and you can like feel your emotions boiling over. That is like the exact sign to like just just stop it's going to get worse, there's almost borderline, no chance that you training in that mental state is gon na, make it better. I'm telling you if you've ever been there and we've all been there if you've been training for any amount of time.

You've been in those situations where, like you, know, you're getting angry. You know you're just trying to quickly make back money and if you do that, the chance of it actually working out is like a snowball's chance in hell. I was in options sonar and just saw one million put come across amc at the 140 strike thoughts on. Why ftd related uh, i would have to that, seems a 145 put.

I i guess i don't even know why they would do it that way, unaware i know when would that be revenge changing that is the definition of revenge training and that's exactly why i i just had to be like nope i'll, see you on monday. It's a misconception: there is snow in hell, that's hilarious! Oh just so. You know before the market closes here. I'll put the link in um chat.

So at 4 30 there's going to be a free, um discussion today on ttg the the team over at ttg uh. Once again, it's 100 free you're not going to pay anything they're just going to do a recap of the week and also kind of like sharing their plans for the week forward. That's at 4 30.! So, if you're still trying to pass time at work in about 30 minutes that stream's gon na go live, so you can hear other people's opinion on if they think the market's bullish bearish. Maybe something will get explained in a way that maybe resonates better with you than the ways i've been able to explain it, but once again it is 100 fr ee, free, free, free tch.

Please don't spam chat. I get kicked from my own stream by my own mods looked like you were trying to join chat earlier yeah. I had. I had a tough time.

Oh ttg's in here it's gon na be good, join us at 4, 30.. Once again, that is ttg they're talking at 4 30, a weekly recap and then sharing some ideas for the upcoming week and on top of it, if you have questions like, i said, it's always good to get multiple opinions, multiple breakdowns and see what resonates the best With you um yeah, but i was trying there i on my end, i had some like audio issues, so um i'm actually gon na try to get those squared away this weekend and figure out what's going on, but i was trying to drop in early today in The platform and talk about crypto and how it's ripping to kingdom come. Your stream has been looking better. You get your isp issues fixed.

No, no, but i do knock on wood knock on wood. Hopefully i'm like begging, i'm calling verizon every day. I'm like please just come to my street and turn on files. The house i'm in it's wired for files, but it doesn't come that far down my street, so i'm like begging them to bring it one more block for me and it's um.

It's it's becoming a whole thing like i'm starting to learn like every employee's name in the entire company in verizon. At this point, so we're making some gains, i'm being positive, being positive, being positive. What is ttg uh ttg is it's true trading group and it's uh. It's an education platform: it's a cool community that, like the moon, gang and ttg we've officially partnered up um and a lot of people are having a crazy amount of success with it.

I really love your beard. Your hair looks nice too spent 20 on it. I'm just been lazy, not shaving, should i just should i grow out a mustache like maybe a goatee? I have a really weak beard folks, so i don't know if this is like a good opportunity for me all right. The casino is closed.

That is it for the first trading week of february uh folks, that's friday, that's it for the day. It's it for the week. It's all she wrote and we're also kicking off the olympics. If you're waiting for those olympics to go, don't forget to check out ttg in about 30 minutes other than that have a fun weekend, um have a safe weekend, but if not at least have a fun weekend, i will be posting some clips over the weekend.

We'll also have another crypto stream on sunday. So, like i don't know, the clips that people have been requesting will start getting those up. I have to admit i've been a little lazy myself on getting those clips up, so we're gon na really hit that a little bit harder in february uh. Just of like the interesting explanations and breakdowns like, for example, the td ameritrade, getting like lit ablaze um.

We will be using what's that, wait before i let you all go. What's that word um if you've played world of warcraft, you would know this, because people told me last time conflagation can what's like set ablaze. What's like the s.a.t word for getting set ablaze like it goes on fire or it's like related to warts con conflagration con conflagration conflagation is that it conflagation confliction conflagation conflagra conflagration conflo conf faligration. I think you guys there's a lot of different spellings going on conflagration.

I think it's conflagration i feel like i came up with it too, before someone tipped it to me um anyway, we we got that s.a.t word out of the way we got to get back to the word of the day stuff. We got to become a little bit more uh well spoken in here conflagration, well, be careful of any conflagrations that you see this weekend. I truly appreciate the support. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate the likes. I appreciate all the new members.

You guys are the absolute best have a beautiful weekend. I will catch you later and as always for me, and share best of luck in the markets. You.
