| 0:00.0 | Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's |
| 0:07.0 | CNBC Investing Club warning meeting. |
| 0:10.0 | Well, look, healthcare as a sector, call it the struggles of UNH, some concerns about |
| 0:16.0 | pharma. Health care has been very disappointing this year. |
| 0:19.0 | Yes, it has. |
| 0:20.0 | Big surprise. I was a little bit more optimistic on health care coming into the year. |
| 0:23.5 | It hasn't worked out. |

| 1:08.0 | So when I finished this book, when you read these books, they typically, people come on your show, people don't read the book. I read every page. And this book is in many ways. It's about how to live longer, how to stay young. GOP-1, probably the number one way. So you're interested in buying Lily down here? Yeah. Very much so. |
| 1:28.3 | People are selling it, they don't know what it is. |
| 1:29.3 | They're just saying it's another drug. |
| 1:31.3 | They're saying the government's cracking down. |
