| 0:00.0 | Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's |
| 0:07.0 | CMEC Investing Club warning meeting. |
| 0:10.0 | People are still in the habit of trading off of numbers that could make it so the Fed might |
| 0:16.0 | be done tightening. So you get a soft CPI and everybody goes crazy. Yeah. And so CPI was a little bit |
| 0:24.0 | cooler than expected, not seeing too much movement in the probabilities of what the Fed may do next at |
| 0:28.6 | the September meeting. Right now, odds are for no hike. But we've heard the Fed before say there |
| 0:34.9 | could be at least one more. Yeah, look, the Fed knows that in the 70s they played the game of hike, no hike, |
| 0:42.3 | and inflation came back. So there is no way that this Fed is going to let the vampire go. |

| 1:17.6 | stabilizing at 12%, also retail margins, much better than expected. |
| 1:22.6 | Advertising $10 billion for gross margins are huge for that. |
| 1:25.6 | Yeah. So, I mean, we do have things to buy |
| 1:27.9 | if you haven't bought anything. Now, I want to emphasize that when everything's up, that's usually |
| 1:32.1 | not too great time to buy it. You might get a downtraft. But we have had a series of really |
| 1:37.0 | ugly days for the NASDAQ led by NVIDI. Yeah, it's been a pretty volatile week. Of course, |
| 1:42.1 | you had some early selling in the morning, followed by some dip buying in the later afternoon. |
