| 0:00.0 | Hey, it's Kramer, and this is my morning take on the market from today's |
| 0:05.0 | CNBC Investing Club morning meeting. |
| 0:07.0 | You know, Jeff, 12 years ago, we had the SP downgrade and it turned out to be an important |
| 0:15.0 | low for the stock market. |
| 0:17.0 | A lot of tech sold off and people panicked. |
| 0:20.0 | Well, here we are again. This time it's Fitch, and it's really having an impact on the stock market. |
| 0:24.6 | Yeah, I do wonder if it's an excuse to sell. We have been overballed for quite some time. |
| 0:29.6 | Haven't really had a significant pullback in a while as well, especially off the strong June and July. |
| 0:36.6 | But seeing some pressure today in |
| 0:38.6 | stock, some upward pressure and interest rates, maybe that's why we're seeing a big tech |
| 0:43.3 | decline. But to your point, maybe that's the opportunity to buy. I mean, let's take, |

If you don't own an AMD, I think that AMD is getting interesting. Yeah. I was just looking at some other tech names too. I mean, Palo Alto down around 4%. No real news there. I actually saw, if anything, Keybanked raised their price target to 300 this morning, so maybe |
| 1:29.3 | the wrong day to do it for that, given the set-off in tech. |
| 1:32.3 | But there could be some opportunities that present themselves. |
| 1:34.3 | Right. |
| 1:35.3 | I mean, look, I think people have to understand that when we have Fitch, that then breeds that rates go higher, |
| 1:40.3 | because people are saying, listen, we have too much debt. |
| 1:43.3 | Actually, the Fitch DAD rate happens to be about how we can seem to agree to a deal for |
| 1:48.5 | Martin, by the way, we have too much debt. |
