Boy, oh boy, am i glad i bought the dip heavy thursday morning whoa that was a buying hello, let's go and that rhymes, that's awesome, hey folks, uh welcome back to another video. We got to talk in this video about what's happening in the market. Why is a certain sector of the stock market and cryptocurrencies? Why are they rallying together? What do we need to know about russia and ukraine what's going on with these peace talks and nuclear talks at the same time, what are some leftover catalysts and what's going on with shorts out there, because today's the kind of day the shorts are starting to get A little bit hammered okay, now keep in mind. This video is brought to you by the programs on building your wealth, expiring tonight, coupon code expiring tonight check that out, link down below and, of course, wealthfront more on them in just a moment.

Okay, folks, here's exactly! What's going on, first of all, we got peace talks. Yesterday, futures were down somewhere around two and a half to three percent that was between the spy small cap, russell 2000 and the uh qq or nasdaq. So, what's going on, while the sudden uh did we go from this negative two and a half percent to now uh s p and q, q, q, positive and tech stocks are rallying like a sofi and matterport killing it up eight to ten percent right now, you've Got tesla up point seven percent coin base up seven point: eight percent solana is up, eleven percent up starts up thirteen percent. A firm is up ten point.

Five percent neo is up ten, what's happening even and phases up. Another eight point: four percent boy. Am i glad i bought that thing at 1 20 on thursday morning, but anyway, what's going on so here's what's happening? First of all, peace talks, the first round of peace talks concluded solenski, i doesn't appear, and this is a good thing - did not go to them. This is good.

The last thing we want is zielinski to get captured or potentially, if he dies. I think there would be a morale collapse in ukraine. It would be one of the worst case scenarios. He is keeping ukraine together.

He is killing, it he's doing. A very, very great job, so he's got to stay safe. The first rounds of talks have come completed between uh ukrainian delegate, uh delegated members and russian and delegated members. Now the there are more talks expected to come, and this is good.

These are the first talks that we've had since this escalation. Well, since negotiations broke down before the incursion before the invasion right and since then, the russian stock market has been absolutely getting destroyed. We've seen the rupal now trade for over a hundred and six dollars, uh, that is 106 rupals per a dollar. It's absolutely been getting crushed in terms of its valuation.

It's an example of what the vanic vectors russia etf is doing, which just gives you a little bit of a taste of what's happening in russia itself. I mean people are losing their wealth, they're, losing their money and they're losing faith in their currency. And this is why not only we have protests in russia, but we're also seeing the potential of a bank run so much so that the central bank has just come out to say. You know what we are going to raise interest rates in russia to 20 and that's from nine and a half percent, that's more than a double to try to control, essentially the rapid devaluation or rapid inflation of their currency.

They're, like that's it jack up rates to fight inflation. We know how that works over here, except they're, doing it to the extreme, because freaking putin screwed up again but anyway, at the same time we're seeing oil stocks uh well oil uh per barrel rally with exception of bp. Bp is not doing too well because they're dumping a 20 stake at a loss in russia, but we're seeing oil obviously spike, rent over a hundred dollars a barrel again, and this is starting to push tech and ev up. Because how do you get out of high oil prices by innovating, by investing in tech and by investing in electric vehicle companies and because a lot of these have sold off over the last? Quite frankly, 10 weeks now, there's a quite a quite a build up of short interest, and i would not be surprised if we end up seeing a potential even short, squeeze or at least some degree of short, covering heads up this.

Just in as i'm recording this russia says, ukraine has agreed to a second round of talks, so both sides now have agreed to a second round of talks. This is positive. This is a lot better than where we were yesterday when it was when it essentially felt like the belarusian army was getting ready to invade uh ukraine and kiev together with uh with russia. That's that's where we were yesterday talking about nuclear saber rattling again here we are today market's going green on peace talks market's very happy with what's going on now, i want to talk about the short interest data here and i want to show you some inflection points, But first remember folks: a coupon code expires tonight for those programs on building your wealth.

In the meantime, let's get in a quick message from wealthfront and come back to this short interest data. At the beginning of every year, i like to look back and see what i could improve on and what could just make my life easier this year.

Okay, take a look at this one by one here. So, first of all, here's a lemonade still at a high in terms of short interest.

I'm going to go ahead and hide myself for a moment. Look at this inflection point to the upside here on short interest. This does not include today, yet it just tells us. Where did we go starting? The week we went in here on lemonade with a high tattooed chef 32 next highest, that we're tracking here kind of started rotating down a tiny little bit.

Corsair gaming also started having a little refl inflection point down here, a little bit of sign of some covering happening, especially since this is 24.2 short arc has been flat in terms of shorts sitting at about 20.8. You've got amc, also roughly flat at about 20 percent. So far, sitting at about 19.8 actually increasing in shorts, so you could definitely be seeing and some of these we're seeing the inflection point up as far as friday was concerned, and now you're seeing some of these run, you could definitely be seeing some short covering now Be careful sometimes the short covering ends up turning into reloading shorts when a new catalyst comes up and we're going to talk about new catalysts in just a moment. But let's quickly, look at some of these other shorts shorts before earnings here are starting to pick up on lucid sitting at about 18.8 percent short you've got matterport here, also sitting a little elevated.

Seventeen point four percent short the s p you're, starting to see some shorts come down still about 16.8 percent short teledoc, 15 percent, robin hood; a little increase here, a firm relatively flat only about 10 percent and tesla relatively flat about 2.91. Of course, we cannot forget, though, game stop, let's throw in gamestop at 18.96 relatively flat here recently. So what are the next catalyst that we have to be careful of? Well, here's what we got to know and then we got to talk about the fed. So what we've got in terms of the next catalyst are quite a bit.

First, the potential breakdown of talks. That's the big catalyst number one. You should write these down next catalyst on wednesday. That's in two days we're gon na get our first private jobs report the adp jobs report.

That's the estimate of what jobs are going to come in at and then on friday. We get the actual jobs report and what we're looking for here are: how much did those wages go up month over month? Are we going to see a wage price spiral? This is going to be a very big catalyst and it's quite possible. There could be a lot of fear going into the report and once we get the certainty of the report, we could see some of that fear evaporate. We've got cpi coming out next week on march 10th.

That is another big catalyst and then, of course, the week thereafter, we have the federal reserve we're going to see hey. Are they going to rug, pull us with a 50 basis, point hike, or are we just going 25? My expectation is we're basically guaranteed to get a 25.. I'm not really worried about any of these reports as much as i had been in the past, because i believe the fed is going to take a very patient approach, especially because of these geopolitical concerns. Some folks are like kevin you're, flip-flopping uh yeah, because the data changed when the data changes and the facts change.

I sold my gold and i bought stocks. I did that thursday morning. Look at what they've done since then tesla and face gold. The gold that i sold gold went down and face tesla.

They went straight up, they've been absolutely killing it, so we've lowered our cost basis and we've even got some extra cash around to keep buying on some of these fear catalysts, because there will be more, i'm still believing that patience is important. 2022, no matter what is going to be a rough year very, very volatile, so i'm not one to want to chase the short squeezes up, because i don't think the short squeezes are going to last before these reports, because all it's going to take is a little Bit of bad news on peace talks, the shorts doubling back down on their shorts, pushing these stocks right back down, creating a new buying opportunity for us now regarding the nuclear threat. In my opinion, this is really a non-issue. This is saber rattling.

I don't want to come across as saying worrying about noopsies and not nukes is a non-issue because i mean, let's be real. Those are quite scary, but i do really personally believe that uh this is just more saber rattling from putin uh. It is. It is quite expected, it is quite normal this this is not new.

Now in terms of individual stocks, one thing that i am noticing is travel reopening banks and safety plays like apple and google are not doing the best. That's in my opinion, because people are now selling out of travel and reopening stocks because they worry people are going to spend less money on these because of the geopolitical concerns, especially all the cancellations that we see in europe. They're moving out of banks and safety like apple and google and they're moving into those tech and depressed trades that could be cryptocurrencies uh that could be uh microvision upstart neo, i mean quite frankly, some of these oh i've had myself doubled up there anyway. Some of these have been quite depressed.

I mean just here look away for a moment at the percent change, just sort these by name. Sometimes this is really important to just ignore the percent change for a moment and look at some of these prices that we have adobe 464 come on. This is 200 cheaper than where it has been. You've got amazon at 3 000.

It's been there for more than a year. You've got blizzard at 81.. Amd 124 is okay, 153, okay, airbnb! Look at this a firm 42 freaking dollars backed this thing. Momentum moved like crazy.

Is that six dollars now be careful, though some of these do have the potential tendency to rotate right back down under the weight of newly reloaded shorts. So you do want to be somewhat careful, but a lot of the solar companies doing very, very well speculation that we might get some sort of new ev tax credits to potentially boost ev sales or solar sales. To help reduce our dependence on on oil and foreign oil in general uh, here again, you see delta airlines coming down a little bit emboy air part of your your travel sector here under 14. It's actually not bad end phase doing quite well, 166, definitely down from where it had been, but certainly up from some of its lows and phase 166.

Honestly, it's still not a bad deal, still pretty decent for the high growth margins. This company has high quality products. This company has really really incredible: uh, let's just quickly grab a few others. Of course, we've got some small, the fintech, the ensure tech space.

I think those are still uh going to have the the unclear rotation up catalyst, the sofi, the robin hoods, a coinbase, obviously going to be doing well off of of crypto as well as square doing uh, better off of some of its crypto integration, but otherwise uh. Where you're really seeing the move is in that ev style, tech, uh, certainly tesla, neo, even lucid turning uh green today and ellucid's got earnings coming up, and i have to say i know a lot of folks are waiting for updates on what's happening with the lucid Of mine that got towed they're, providing really optimistic updates, and so we're really excited about uh, getting the car back and then getting an update video for you. So we'll see what happens but uh ooh look! Even wafer is coming back a little bit as uh wafer. Oh my gosh look at wafer.

I mean it's half of what it used to be. Look at that 369, it's more than half under what it used to be just wild. So there are definitely some deals out there. So you have to ask yourself: how much do you believe that the fed's going to rug pull us? Do you believe that tran inflation could be transitory? We do expect that there will be more inflation because of commodities and energy costs.

But remember what did i talk about in my video yesterday, you got to parse out the inflation that comes from these war-related aspects and think about the inflation of consumer goods and other aspects that might be less affected by these war aspects, wouldn't be surprised if some Of that aggregate demand for those comes down, we actually start seeing some inflation drive down and a more dovish fed because of the crisis in ukraine and uh and, of course, with russia as the antagonist. So we'll see what happens a lot of international pressure right now and we know the russian economy is absolutely suffering under the threat of a potential depression which will hopefully hopefully motivate positive peace talks. So we could finally end the death and destruction and get back to normal. Then again we will be looking forward to jobs, cpi, fed and because of what's happened, i'm actually more optimistic on those than ever before.

So we'll see, thank you so much for watching.
