| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody Rob Maower here and today we are talking about X. What is X you may ask? Well X would be a potential new holding company for all of |
| 0:16.0 | Elon Musk's ventures. Now by no means is this anywhere close to being imminent? This is just |
| 0:20.8 | Elon saying it could be a good idea on Twitter, but I think it warrants further discussion so we're going to do that here and we do have a couple other stories to go through as well. First let's check on the stock price though Tesla today finishing up about nine-tenths of a percent, closing at $645.98. |
| 0:35.0 | That compared to the NASDAQ down 3 tenths of a percent. |
| 0:38.0 | Volume today was pretty low, about 32 million shares traded hands. |

| 1:06.0 | You can see here the time is 1559-59. |
| 1:09.0 | That's one second before market close. |
| 1:11.0 | So this is sort of the last bid and ask before the |
| 1:13.8 | closing cross happens and you can see here the imbalance shares are 12.5 |
| 1:17.5 | million shares. Remember though that imbalance then changes once we are at |
| 1:21.5 | close. So if we look at the NASDAQ trader FAQ here, they say that imbalance shares are quote, |
| 1:27.0 | the number of opening or closing shares that would remain unexecuted at the current reference price." End quote. |
| 1:33.0 | That reference price part is the critical detail. |
| 1:35.0 | The NASDAQ says that is quote, |
