| 0:00.0 | Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's |
| 0:06.7 | CMEC Investing Club warning meeting. |
| 0:08.6 | We start out with an 8.30 number, Jeff, that looks, I'm tired of the term Goldie |
| 0:12.8 | Box because what really happened is the number that got, that was poorly tabulated the previous |
| 0:17.2 | quarter. We would never tolerate that in a year of artificial intelligence and |
| 0:20.9 | generative and by the way accelerated computing because what happened is that january would turn out |
| 0:27.1 | to be far weaker and so they mixed them together and it turns out to be other than government jobs |
| 0:30.8 | there really wasn't a lot of job work we've heard from a lot of companies that january was a |
| 0:34.6 | soft month right part of it due to the weather unemployment rate ticks up rate takes up, will moves up to 3-9 from 3-7. I think the Fed is keeping an eye on that. They have said that now that inflation has gotten at least a little bit more under control, they're keeping an eye on the other side of their doing mandate as well.

| 1:21.2 | semis were correlated with interest rates. And I want to congratulate him for pointing out a pattern |
| 1:26.7 | that people have been oblivious to. |
| 1:28.3 | Well, and there you go and we're seeing it today is in V-Vidia as well, right, on a march to almost a thousand dollars per share. |
| 1:35.3 | InViG trade with a 20 year. I mean, it's a little crazy. But I would point out that you and I both know that Invidia is crucial to why Broadcom could have a good quarter |
| 1:44.4 | or Marvell. |
| 1:46.2 | David had excellent analysis about the way |
| 1:48.8 | the impenetrable notion of the financials |
| 1:50.8 | of both those companies. |
