| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to another week of Wall Street. |
| 0:13.5 | Round up some good news, man. |
| 0:16.9 | Some good news and some earnings news. |
| 0:18.8 | Yeah, I mean, obviously obviously geopolitics takes precedence. |
| 0:21.6 | Headlines this morning is Iran is opening up the Strait of Hermo's |
| 0:24.6 | during the negotiation period. |
| 0:27.6 | I also saw a headline that the U.S. is going to keep Iran blockaded. |
| 0:32.6 | I don't know if that's going to cause any tension or not, |
| 0:35.6 | but overall market sees this as a huge step forward. |
| 0:40.7 | It's been an interesting market, really. |

| 1:32.7 | It was up 26% over the past five days. |
| 1:35.7 | You also see AMD, Palantir, Microsofts, Micron. |
| 1:39.9 | They're all up double digits over the course of the week. |
| 1:42.9 | These were mostly beaten down. |
