Especially yesterday, it is a great honor to introduce, what's going on guys, it's ricky with taco solutions, so we are going to be hearing. President biden speak and how he influences the overall market. I'll tell you what linda fire ceo of this company i'd be worried. Well, good afternoon, everybody and thank you, jim for the invitation to be here today and linda for the warm welcome today and congressman seoul only full.

Thank you for all. You do for the people who stay in the country and for your friendship, our friendship i want to come down to alabama and make sure that the american people know what work is this with and by the way, fc. Please take it by the way. Sometimes, depression is always fair with me, but once every once in a while, i make a mistake not like what once a speech, but anyway, i years ago, when i first started talking with this producer, i said: please take your seats.

We're going to seat, we were standing in our chairs, so i just want to make sure i checked when it had seats. Look uh. The american people know what work with this facility are doing and support to support ukraine's fight for freedom, and the bottom line is, i came to say, thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. That's the reason i'm here i've been on those battlefields where uh these missiles are fired and uh. I spent a lot of time going in out of iraq and i can't stand maybe a total of 40 times and tell you what you're, uh and i've been in ukraine a lot prior to the war and on the border sensitive and it's it's amazing. What you've done we see on the news every single day, the atrocities and the war crimes that are being committed by russian forces in ukraine directed by vladimir putin, and it really is gut-wrenching.

We see the incredible graveyard ukrainian fighters defending their country from back with everything they have not just their warriors. It's not just the military. It's people on the street one of the things we always talk about is you know, just like the federal reserve meetings just like when biden speaks. If you feel like there's uncertainty and you don't want to partake in it, you can reduce your position size.

Just a little heads up meeting our allies and partners around the world to make sure the craziest ukrainians, who are fighting for the future of the nation. Have the weapons and the capacity and ammunition and equipment to defend themselves against putin's brutal war, a lot of war crimes being committed, but we don't what we don't see we don't always see is the work that's so much of that makes so much of this possible And that's you, it's not hyperbole. It's you, you make it possible, you make it possible for them to have a shot. You know.

During world war ii, the united states was known as the arsenal democracy. It was rosie the riveter who actually got to meet quite frankly before she passed away and a lot of people who in fact kept the uh keep it going. I was a slight digression. I went over for the 50th anniversary of the uh, the end of world war ii and uh, and i was in normandy and i went up afterwards with the uh to the cemetery and uh.

I was walking by myself and it's it's incredible. It's immaculate! It's perfectly! Manicured and headstones are all the same. I looked down one row and i saw three names: same names, father and two sons who had died in the landing and i was bent down and i was reading the dates of their births and all of a sudden i heard behind me a teenager and i Turned around and there was a gentleman who had to be in his early 80s in a wheelchair being wheeled by his son, a big guy looked like haas cartwright is and his and his wife and one other and a daughter, and he saluted me so i saluted Him and at the time - and i turned i said - thank you for what you did. Thank you for saving, literally saving civilization and he put his hand on his wife's, his wife, his hands on his shoulder, and he said no, no.

She didn't she did. I looked at her and said she built the landing craft that got us in here. She and her friends they're the ones that did it and he went on and he filled up and all of a sudden it dawned on me you're doing it. You really are doing it you're, making a gigantic difference for these poor sons of guns who are under such enormous enormous pressure and firepower those javelins.

I saw there's 10 for every tank that there is in ukraine right now. You're changing people's lives, but we built the weapons and equipment that helped defend freedom and sovereignty in europe years ago. That's true again today, you know some of the best most effective weapons in our arsenal was javelin missiles like the ones manufactured right here in pike, county they're, highly portable they're, extremely effective against a wide range of armored targets. They can hit targets up to 400 meters away and have a fire and forget capability.

That means a person firing can i know you know, because for anybody who may be listening can change positions or take cover before that jazz even strikes almost takes a target. In fact, they've been so important, there's even a story about ukrainian parents naming their children, not a joke: no newborn child javelin or javelina, not a joke. So the brave people in ukraine, including the many civilians who have taken up arms and defend their country, deserve every ounce of credit for pushing back the russian assault and frustrating putin's desire to dominate ukraine. We're at an inflection point in history for real.

It comes along about every six or eight generations where things are changing so rapidly that we have to be in control. You guys crack me up in a live chat. I'm going back, not much has been sad. That's influencing the market over 78 hours, either in person or on a telephone, and the fact of the matter is he just is straightforward about it.

He says that democracies cannot be sustained in the 21st century. I don't know if it's just me, but i like have a really hard time understanding it. I don't know if it's my speakers, but it's hard to get consensus. Therefore they can't keep up with our attackers in one-man rule.

Is it just me, but that's not going to be the case if that happens, the whole world changes, and because of you in this first really battle. If you will, for that to determine whether that's going to happen is because you're making it possible you're making it possible for the ukrainian people to defend themselves? Okay, so it's not just third world war soldiers. I understand most of the dead expression. You said the only war worse than one: that's intended one, that's unintended you're, allowing the ukrainians to defend themselves and, quite frankly, they're making fools of the russian military.

In many instances, a big part of the reason they've been able to keep up fighting and to make this war a strategic failure for russia is because the united states, together allies and partners have had their back. The united states alone has committed more than 5 500 javelins to ukraine. We've changed all right, quick little heads up um. You guys know that my job is to remind you when we are approaching overbought or a potential resistance level.

If your intention is to hold regardless of what happens today, then ignore this, but if you are trading tqqq, we are approaching a potential resistance level right around the higher levels of 38 dollars a share, just a heads up. I want you guys to be aware of this before anything influences the actual market, good or bad right. My job is to make you aware of overbought and oversold levels. So again, just a heads up since russia invaded ukraine.

Just over two months ago, we have sent more than three billion dollars in security assistance to ukraine alone. Us that's counting our hours. That money is a direct investment in defending freedom and democracy itself, because if you don't stand up to dictators, history has shown us they keep coming. They keep coming, their appetite for power continues to grow, and every worker in this facility and every american taxpayer is directly contributing to the case for freedom and that's something we can all be incredibly proud of in miami.

Last week i sent congress and we screwed the point of personal privilege talking like an old senator but sent a supplemental budget. A fancy way of saying. We need more money to make sure the united states can continue to send weapons directly to the front lines of freedom of ukraine and to continue to provide economic and humanitarian assistance of the ukrainian people. And i urge the congress to pass this funding quickly to help ukraine continue to succeed against russian aggression, just as they did when they won the battle of king and to make sure the united states and our allies can replenish our own stocks of weapons to replace What we've said to ukraine, as i said from the beginning, this fight is not going to be cheap, but caving to aggression would even be more costly.

We back the operating people as they defend their country or we stand by as russia continues with atrocities and aggression. I know what the answer is. I think you all do too. I bet i know what the answer to this plan is.

There's something else here to be understood. Being the arsenal. Democracy also means good paying jobs for american workers in alabama and states all across america where defense equipment is manufactured and assembled 265 people here at this planet are directly employed. Working on the javelin program.

All told lockheed martin has brought nearly 3 000 jobs to alabama the armed force in the united states. America will continue to be the best most capable fighting force in the history of that's ridiculous. In order to do that, we have to make sure our vital defense supplies are getting the inputs and supplies they need. I love how most, how you guys are joking around.

Obviously it's a joke of the ricky for president and then someone says ricky can't be president. He's not american, yes, i am what the heck i've been a broken. We've done more than anybody else, but guess what we stopped. Investing in ourselves.

We stopped investing in ourselves. Market is now market is dropping. Market is dropping heads up. It's curling back over just a little heads up again.

My job is to make you guys aware showing signs of a potential support, showing signs of a potential resistance level just be aware, showing signs of a resistance level right now for tcuq. Nothing has really been said. Semiconductor is critical, the defense production capacity is, you know you all know better than i do that's why we're making it as hard as we can for russia to get hold of these semiconductors and advanced technologies that could use to upgrade its military during this conflict, and Why we're taking steps to make it easier to source what we need here in the united states during the global semiconductor shortage and just one more there's just one more reason why congress has to act quickly to provide the emergency funding of the so-called chips act by Passing the broader bipartisan innovation act, so we can produce tens of millions of these chips, there's something that should be good for nvidia and amd. In my early stages of our administration, i'm determined to make sure the united states hold this technological high ground in competition with the nations, especially china.

As we move forward folks, you know we we used to invest as a nation. Years ago, 35 years ago we invested two percent of our entire gdp in research and development. We do half of that. We need to have that.

We should be number one in the world. Now we're number 13, my administration we're changing that the united states used to own the innovation field. In fact, the department of research program had established darpa the first development of an anti-tank missile with advanced infrared guidance systems that culminated in today's channel. The bipartisan innovation act is going to help reverse decades-long decline in federal research and development investment, and it should create and support entire families and expand u.s manufacturing and strengthen our national security.

Wherein god's name is written that the united states can no longer be a leading manufacturing world we've created just in the last 17 months, 465 000 permanent manufacturing jobs in america. We have the best workers, the most confident employees, the best science in the world and by funding the chipset we're going to ensure that semiconductors, the power of the economy and our national security are made here in america again today, all all the world's most advanced ships Are made overseas, but the events of the past few years have proven beyond a doubt that america's security should never be held hostage to events overseas, not a pandemic, not a war, not the politics of ambition or other countries. Fundamentally, there's a nationalistic national security issue. This is one of the reasons why the chinese communist party is lobbying folks to oppose this bill and it's an issue that unites democrats and republicans.

Let's get it done, let's get it done. Market pulling back members said she personally touched every single, solitary javelin, 50 000 to manufacture this plant 20 years ago. I was worried to shake your hand, i thought you maybe might be lucky, but that's where they start right here with american skill, american craftsmanship, american patriotism and just a few days ago, the wall street journal quoted a young hungarian fighter. Saying - and i quote without the javelins would have been very hard to stop the enemy pushing the head end of quote.

So these weapons touched by the hands your hands are in the hands of ukrainian heroes, making a significant difference. That's something each and every day you could and should be proud of, i'm once more urging congress to quickly pass this supplemental funding bill over 300 billion dollars to help the ukrainians, so they can keep. They can keep all of the very. Very all of you very, very busy for a while here.

So again, let me end where i began. I came for basic reason in the bottom of my heart to say. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you. What you're doing ricky your live stream from biden is not live. Oh really, what the well you're very very busy for a while here.

So again, let me end where i began. I came for basic breezy. What the heck i feel like! I messed it up. Oh way to go, oh, it ended already in the hands of ukrainian heroes for basically freezing in the bottom of my heart.

To say. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you. What you're doing i think it's because not much was said we're going to see the market go up, nothing that he said really was a surprise, nothing that he said um. I i think i mean everything was already factored into the market right uh, with more spending. Uh to funding ukraine, i'm not here to agree or disagree right.

You guys are doing that in the live chat. I don't want to be biased based off of anyone's like political opinion. You guys know that i'm not here to do that. I'm not here to try to persuade you from one side to another.

I think that's one of the great things about being american is that you get to decide what you think is best for yourself um. I i can see based off of the overall live chat, that we have people that are pro and against biden, rightfully so um each to each their own. I hope that you guys can at least try to respect one another right, regardless of your guys's political opinion. Um - and i think that's all that really matters so as of right now looks like the uh sqkq and the overall nasdaq market um is showing signs of somewhat of a resistance level.

Honestly today was one of the choppiest days that i've seen in quite some time. I mean um if this isn't the definition of choppy. I don't know what is right. We hit highs of about two percent.

We dropped about two percent, we was about one and a half percent. We dropped about a quarter of a percent back and forth back and forth. I would say that today is a pretty solid example of a day that probably just isn't a day worth trading. If you are under the pdt rule - and i mean that right, um is our job as traders not to be effective and efficient right understanding when true direction is in our favor versus when things are so choppy that you're almost wasting time and also wasting your day Trades, you guys know exactly what i'm talking about either when the nasdaq or when the overall market is bullish or bearish right.

It's very easy to see and it's much easier to trade, so you can make it difficult for yourself. You can make it very challenging during these conditions, or you can simply wait for direction to be more clear and be a little bit more selective with the trades that you choose to take. It's pretty much the conversation that we had in today's live trading session. It was very easy to see that right at market open we're, showing signs of it being bullish after being bearish and sold off, and then it recovered and within the first hour we were able to see this quick overall reversal.

So all right yeah. So that's pretty much it. It looks like we're about 20 seconds behind uh the actual live so um. Let me see if i could answer any questions, if you guys have any questions, feel free to ask me um in the live, chat and i'd be more than happy to answer it for you alrighty.

So do you think that it's worth buying fractional shares for long-term holding um just watch out nasdaq market is beginning to pull on back uh fractional shares, i mean sure right, i think that's all dependent on your account size and your position size and what you're? Okay? With tolerating, if you think that buying a full share, is you know not possible and or if it's too expensive, i think getting your feet wet and staying effective with your position? Size is always what's most important. So do i think fractional shares on something like tkq? Would really make sense? Well, no, not necessarily right, but something for like amazon right amazon is a pretty pricey stock when it comes down to the price per share um. So if you can buy fractions of this because that's what you have to work with and your intention is to invest then yeah so be it. I really don't think it it matters if you have a whole share or fractional shares.

The whole idea is for you to invest and or trade in opportunities that you think that are worth taking advantage of right and that's what i really would really begin to ask yourself right as markets are very cheap and very oversold right now. It's not that they have to recover anytime soon, but when they do what stocks would you guys like to be invested in you don't have to over complicate it? You don't have to invest in 10 different stocks. You can invest in one or two different stocks right and that's exactly what we talked about in our in-person training uh yesterday with some of our learn plan profit members at the hq - it's if you guys remember, um and think back to 2020, once the pandemic hit. How many of how many of us were so focused on the market selling off that we didn't give ourselves time to prepare for the market to recover and looking back, not only did the market recover, but it hit new highs right.

The market always tends to recover. So it's not an if the market world cup will recover it's a when right, and can you tolerate the time that it will take for the market to recover? I feel like that is the question that you should ask yourself. You should put yourself in a position or even at the worst case scenario, you can tolerate the time that it will take for the market to recover. You should always be prepared or take into consideration worst case scenario.

If you don't, if you don't prepare, then it will simply catch you off guard and you're, going to put yourself in an unfortunate position, and that's only you that can control that so um amd and nvidia two companies that i'm personally really looking into my only concern The thing that i'm going to have to look into a little bit more obviously with the chip shortage and the semiconductors um. It's are they all manufactured outside of the us, because i know biden just said in his speech that he's going to try to bring it back into the united states. I'm not mistaken! That was actually done by the previous president and or in the works of the previous president right with the covet hitting. It was something that we had to do right where we had to bring back jobs to the united states, so we weren't dependent on outside resources when the overall world shut down, and i think that that's great, because, regardless of what president did, it doesn't actually matter.

But i think that's a positive action just to some degree right, bringing back jobs, so we can sustain ourselves and demand levels even at worst case scenario, um keeping a healthy balance right, obviously doing it overseas is probably much cheaper. It's great to have those resources, but to also have maybe some infrastructure in the states isn't a bad idea either so um they're all manufactured in taiwan yeah! That's something that i'm gon na have to look a little bit more into, because i've been really looking into nvidia and amd, which are probably one of the world leaders in uh semiconductors and chip manufacturing and obviously, with the chip shortage they're, one of the biggest players. When it comes down to that, so we actually talked about nvidia and amd in our in-person session yesterday, so um, i'm not. I i plan to upload that video.

I don't know if you guys would like to see it, but yesterday, at our offices, um for our tech buds hq, we had like seven to uh, seven to eight uh local traders that came to visit us and one in one of our trading rooms. Uh. We just answered and broke down and kind of planned out good quality investment plays and planned out the entire trade.
