| 0:23.7 | Some big headlines today. Also, Target reports a better than an expected quarter. Same |
| 0:27.9 | store sales up 5.6%. The guide, the guy, the guy. Yeah, they're calling for a tougher second half |
| 0:33.1 | of the year. No, I want people to understand. I think this is boilerplate. I do believe that |
| 0:37.1 | there's major changes there. When I speak to the company, I'm really impressed about how they've changed the way that they do things. And they're redoing the stores rather than buy back stock. Thank God. The stores look at the new targets. Now, if you go and look at the new targets, you'll really be impressed with how they look. Lowes, slightly beats estimates. A similar story to what we heard from Home Depot yesterday. |
| 0:58.6 | I was surprised that the directed consumer was not stronger. Okay. I thought that the consumer |
| 1:07.4 | business, the do-it-yourself would have been a little bit stronger. Yeah. It's not. Toll Brothers reports a better than expected quarter. Yes, gross margins.

But you're more of a sweet green person. I do, but that stock is the dogs. You're helping sweet green to get out of the $7 range.

| 2:03.2 | You can like a product, but that doesn't mean you do like a stock. |
| 2:06.6 | So just again, by the way, Nvidia has to lean on Dell. |
| 2:12.1 | Tell a good Dell story. |
| 2:13.3 | I think that would matter. |
| 2:14.2 | They have to lean on their nebius and core wave, the neoclows. They've got to talk |
| 2:20.0 | about optical. Sovereign, too. Sovereign. They want that. And they have to talk about how they've |
