| 0:00.0 | I'm Jim Kramer and you're about to hear a sample taken directly from today's |
| 0:06.5 | CBC Investing Club morning meeting. |
| 0:10.0 | Now this is a weird thing because what happened yesterday was just a horrendous performance |
| 0:14.5 | by the NASDAQ and okay by the Dow. |
| 0:17.0 | And I don't want to actually get into the prediction game during this 10 minutes, but there's been a nice move off the bottom in the NASDAQ. And a lot of us may have to do with the idea that maybe CoreWeave, which is an IPO that's coming, is going to be downsized, but maybe it'll work.
