Everyone step right in we're just getting set up. I want to do a quick one hour stream today before a market's open just to chat about. What's going on, i'm not starting doing daily streams, i'm not interested in doing daily streams about the market. I have a preference to do root canals without anesthesia than to do daily streams about the market, but i am here because i feel like a lot of you are anxious and a lot of you are looking for answers and a lot of you need some.

You know just somebody to hang out with mostly because this isn't pleasant. This is quite horrible to watch on tv alone, and i'm just here for you guys, so we can hang out together and and kind of get updated what's happening and to share with you my thoughts about what's going on uh, i want to answer just real quickly Because somebody asked where i am - i am if i'm okay, so i'm i'm safe miro is asking me where located. I don't want to say where i'm located, but i am safe. Don't worry, i'm safe.

Everything is okay, so you don't have to worry about me. I do have friends, relatives acquaintances in both sides, including in kiev, so i do want to be a little bit more cautious with what i say today, because i do have people i care about in the line of fire. So i don't want to go completely crazy. Today i want to keep it clean and we don't want to put anybody in danger, but i do want to be for you guys here today because obviously there's a lot of confusion.

There's there's a lot of of anxiousness a lot of fear and and that's without even talking about the stock market. If you, if you look at the stock market, i mean this, we all have a lot of money in the stock market, and everything right now is just completely red s. P 500 is down, dow jones is down, nasdaq is down every single stock. That is not crude oil or gold, or any of the safe haven stocks they're down quite heavily, and obviously that's painful.

For us, it's not even close to how painful it is for the people who are in the line of fire, but i mean a lot of you: have you know, pension money, your retirement money in these accounts, and it's really scary, and i get it that's why All of us we're on the same boat, i mean i have a lot of money in the stock market - myself. I'm not just saying this, i'm part of this, so i thought it would be nice for us to hang out together and just talk about things and and just to be here, for you guys, and i don't have anything in particular beyond that. I have a few thoughts i put down on my on my whiteboard, which i share with you um. So somebody says why not market open live stream today, i i don't.

I don't want to do market open, live streams. I feel like there's plenty of other people who do market live open streams, i'm an opinion guy, so i'm kind of like a columnist. I share with you my opinion and my thoughts about what's going on. I don't want to read the news, i'm not interested in that there's plenty of other people who do that.

The question here is schweib is asking: when will the markets back to normality? So before we answer this, i want to show you something um and it's. I think really important for you guys to see i'm going to pull up on the screen. The current state of the market, obviously we're talking about very early on there's still an hour plus before markets open. But if you take a look at the screen right now, what you're going to see, let me just enlarge it a little bit.

So it's kind of easier for us to see. Oh, i just did it too much, i'm sorry, guys, i'm getting the hang of it myself! Okay, so, as you can see on the screen right now, i hope this is better we're. Taking a look at dow futures down 2.4 snp futures down 2.6 nasdaq is down 3.3 for an index. That's a huge deal.

I know for a stock. 3 percent might not seem like a lot, but for and i'm by the way i have my eyes on the news all the time it's off screen, you guys can't see it, but if anything major happens in the news i'll, let you know immediately. So i have everything right here in front of me, so if any major breaking news come out, i'll switch off what i'm talking about and i'll, let you know the only thing is up here, as you can see, is gold up. Three percent silver is up, and oil is scratching the hundred dollars a barrel.

Eight percent oil is up eight percent in a day. This is massive. Now the question is very good. Shoaib is asking very smart question: when will the market bring back to normality? Now? I honestly don't know nobody does the problem.

Is we all know that, once the market bounces back from this crisis, history teaches us that any war, any geopolitical tensions that led to a market crash, have led to a massive bounce back back up like a crazy v-shaped bounce, and it will happen? The problem? Is we don't know when we absolutely don't know where the bottom is so trying to time? This is literally a fool's errand, it's a stupid game and if you try it you're gon na win stupid prizes. It's like trying to you know, guess where the bottom is in the dark and stepping into and then falling down three stories down and breaking your legs and maybe even worse. So i would not recommend trying to time the bounce back from this crisis. We know it's going to happen, we don't know when we don't know where the bottom is.

So i would, i honestly don't know, and i'm not going to try to time this market. So i think i i can't tell you when the market will be back to normality, but i can tell you that it will happen once the situation in ukraine gets to a certainty. If there's one thing the stock market does not, like is uncertainty, markets, hate, uncertainty, markets, love certainty once the situation in ukraine gets to certainty whatever. That is even if it's a puppet government by putin once we know that the dust have settled the market is going to rebound, but trying to time exactly when it's going to happen.

I i personally am not going to try to do this, i'm not that smart and missing this can lead you to a crazy negative fault that i don't. I don't recommend you do um. I just want to read some comments here. I want to say shout out to bobby 9635 saying hello tom nice to meet you first time see you live stream yeah.

I don't really live stream that much it's just kind of a one-time thing, because i know a lot of you are hurting right now. There's financial pain, a lot of stock market money is down people's pensions, kids college funds. There's a lot of pain right now in the stock market. There's also a lot of pain by people with families in ukraine and russia.

It's it's really unpleasant to see this horrible situation, where a sovereign, peaceful country with a democratically elected government getting invaded by a dictator. It's just a horrible situation, and i want to be here for you guys. So we can hang out together and i want to try to be as much as as accommodating with the chats as possible. Uh will this be world war? Callan is asking as far as it seems right now.

No there's a news update that came out this morning from nato and nato is the north atlantic alliance. Basically, nato have said that they will not military intervene to prevent russia from invading ukraine. They said they were not going to do this. Ukraine is not part of the nato and they will not be there to stop russia now the reason they're saying this, i know a lot of people really want this to happen right and a lot of people hold on a second.

A lot of people really want nato to take actions against russia and to stop it. I'm sure a lot of people in ukraine want this. The problem that, if nero, gets involved in this we're potentially looking at world war and we're looking at you, have to understand russia is a nuclear nuclear superpower, so we're potentially looking at world war iii with nuclear missiles. So that's why nato is not going to get involved in this as long as russia does not touch any of the nato members which is poland, hungary, bulgaria.

So as long as it's limited to ukraine, nato is not going to get involved and there's not going to be world war three at least not in the near future. Um weren't. You saying this was 99 not going to happen. Yes, i did actually very good comment and i'll address this in my video, i said a few things.

If you go back to my videos, you'll see, there's a video titled putin is not bluffing and, i said, he's not bluffing. This is real. I also said to be fair that i think that there's 99, that this invasion does not happen, even though he's not bluffing, because i feel like there's nothing to be gained from this invasion. There's no economic gain for russia.

There's no economic game for ukraine. There's nothing in it for the eu. This war is a losing game for everybody. So i thought to myself, even though that the west does not have any leverage towards putin, he has nothing to gain.

His people doesn't want this war. Nobody in russia on the street wants this war, so i thought to myself: there's no way: he'll go to war just to satisfy his own ego, and i was wrong. I discounted the ability of um dictators to hijack nations into continental wars for no reason whatsoever. I'm sorry i just didn't.

I didn't think it's going to be possible and apparently i was wrong. So yeah 100 um hey chris from bulgaria. How are you hope everything is okay and my first time seeing you live malcolm yeah. I'm not going to do this.

A lot this is just this is just kind of a one-time thing i want to be here for you guys, because i know there's a lot of uncertainty, a lot of fear right now. I just want to be here and just to be a part of this. Come and calm everybody down uh considering buying the vix. I don't trade myself personally uh the vix is insane right now, if you - and i just that's - not my field, i don't understand i've seen the numbers just the vix, like plus 30, not my thing, but are you buying valentin today, potentially, yes, i will be buying A tesla today for sure, because tesla is at 700 as far as palantir, probably not sure, yet a hundred percent and we'll see a little bit later.

This is a very good comment by giorgi. Simov giergi is saying brother against brother. What is this nonsense, and i assure you, if there's any russian people or ukrainian people in the chat right now, please comment below, because i don't think people in the west understand how much accurate this sentence is. What georgie just said right now summarizes imperfection what every single person in russia and ukraine on the street feels ukrainians and russians are brothers.

It's literally insanity to me to think that russia and ukraine would ever go to war. These are the same people with with no animosity no conflict whatsoever. I never and that's why my hope and i think my hope influenced my judgment - was that this is not gon na happen, because ukrainians love, russia and russians love ukraine, there's obviously extremists on both sides and nationalist people on both sides who want some conflict, but 99 Of russians and ukrainians love each other. It's it's literally brothers.

This makes no sense whatsoever. It's the most ridiculous conflict. I've ever seen. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

So i completely agree with gyorgy here a hundred percent um. I'm there's a comment here. I don't want to read this comment because i have friends and family in ukraine, so uh i'll, just i'm just going to say. I agree with this comment without reading it, i agree with it's 100.

Thank you yonas. I appreciate the love from sweden. I really really appreciate it. Emmanuel is saying if the world does not react and they won't, she will feel free to do the same in taiwan.

This is a topic we talked about, so i have a daily show. I do with my friend and partner justin. Oh, it's called money talks. I don't know if you guys are familiar with the show uh, i'm going to put the link in the chat right now, so you guys can go and subscribe to it.

We don't do this on my own channel uh. We do it on a separate channel. We do a daily show where we talk about current events and we debate against each other about the current events. I'm going to put the link right now in the chat for you guys and you can go and subscribe to that.

If you want to we, we do it every day and and on the show we talked about this. We have a whole show dedicated to this topic. How will china react to what just happened and by the way i will get through the comments? There's a lot of comments. I know this i've seen the super chat from my friend from romania.

I've seen your super chat, i'm going to get it to it in a second um, but this is a very important topic, because what emmanuel is talking about is something very important right now we have china looking from the side and trying to figure out what just Happened we just had russia push against the west post again against nato, push against the us and they haven't really reacted. So far the sanctions have been apart from nordstrom 2. Nothing has been really done yet the sanctions are very mild. So, basically, china has a very similar problem with taiwan.

As far as you heard putin's um speech and this put in speech two days ago, he said i don't recognize the existence of ukraine as a sovereign, independent country. This is a part of russia and if you ask the chinese government, the ccp, they will tell you the same thing about taiwan. In fact, they made john cena apologize when he called taiwan - a country - it's even worse, so they're kind of looking at this and they're saying well, we want to take back taiwan and, if the entire international community, just let put and take back ukraine and they're, not Really doing anything about it, they're just saying that they're angry we're going to take back taiwan, that's kind of the hypothesis. However, i will tell you it's not that simple emmanuel, because taiwan is a extremely militarized country with much more difficult borders.

It's surrounded by ocean and sea. It's complicated, it's gon na be very hard for china to get it done. Plus taiwan is sitting on what is the new oil? It's the chip industry. The entire chip industry, apart from intel, is outsourced to tsmc, which is in taiwan.

So the us, i'm i'm, speculating that the us will definitely go to war for for taiwan, which they're not doing for for ukraine, because the chip industry right now is as important as the oil was in the 90s. When iraq invaded kuwait and the u.s went to war, this is the new oil. This chips in tsmc is the new oil. I don't think u.s will let china do that and my own personal estimation uh ready to load up on palantir under ten dollars.

I think that's a that's a very a very real possibility. To be honest, i mean at this point uh i think we're going to probably i'm going to pull up in a second the numbers of volunteer right now hold on. Let me just pin this comment second moment. I'm just pinning a comment for you guys if you want to actually subscribe to our daily show the one i told you about money talks and i'm going to pull it up on the screen going to show you for a second and then i will talk about This volunteer under 10 we're going to take a look at what volunteers doing in pre-market, because this is actually a big deal.

A lot of my audience is interested in volunteer, and i understand this - i'm in the same situation, obviously um. So this is the. Where is this so this is the show i was talking to you about. It's called money talks it's with me and justin.

We do it every day with debate topics, including russia, ukraine, as you can see, it's on the channel called sense. Invest you can subscribe. The link to subscribe is in the pinned comment. So now, let's move back to what's going on with palantir.

So let's go to volunteer real quick, so uh opening up valentier and let's open pre-market volunteers, see where, where we at right now with volunteer. So i'm assuming right now volunteer, as you can see on the screen. Right now is not doing so well, in fact, doing quite horribly, as you can see, on the screen. Parentheses right now pre-market minus 8.15 percent minus 8 in pre-market down to nine and a half dollars, which is, i believe, the original dpo price might be even lower um, and i i guess the question if you want to ask yourself at this point, is okay.

So that's the price. Is this a good time to buy a volunteer? I don't know but here's the question. You want to ask yourself if you believe in the company, if you believe in the management, if you believe in the business, if you think that the company was worth ten and a half dollars yesterday, what changed from yesterday. So finally, it was worth than a half dollars yesterday.

Does it worth one dollar less today, because russia invaded ukraine uh everybody can answer it for themselves. I personally don't think that that's the case, but i'm sure there's a lot of people who are giving out five dollar evaluation to palanti right now. They probably will disagree with me. So for me the answer is quite clear.

I wonder i completely agree with this comment. Piece: let's pray for ukraine, best wishes and prayers for for the friends and family in ukraine um. We have a comment here from rodrigo sabatini, saying, never felt so much fear in my life sitting with my girlfriend here in krakow, in poland, and thinking that one of these days bombs can drop all over the place with the way putin is behaving. It's not out of the uh out of the out of the question that this might happen, but the one thing i will tell you a rodrigo is a poland is a part of nato and i i 100 guarantee you that if poland is ever attacked by russia, Nato will respond and this is going to be probably the precursor for the next world war.

So i don't think it's going to happen shout out to my friend dash in switzerland. I really appreciate you coming on this early. Hey, are you not in the states? Philip? Is asking philip, i don't want to say where i am to keep the safety of me, my family, my friends, so i i don't want to comment on this and christian is saying: hey tom you've been wrong. All along you downplayed this always, i don't think i've downplayed this as far as not taking this seriously.

In fact, i made a video saying that putin is not bluffing and this is real. I didn't think he would let his emotional ego trip over every rationale. Take europe into this adventure and invade a sovereign free peace living country for no reason at all, just for his own ego and his own legacy. I didn't think that so, if you think that's down playing sure i i agree, um okay, somebody says, sell everything and buy palantir in the dip.

I don't think that's wise heinz. I totally understand where you're coming from with this, but i wouldn't go all in on one stock and i wouldn't try to time this market, so i would be very careful uh, so the question here from vera couch is: why would russia invade ukraine there's absolutely no Reason for this invasion, if you look at microeconomics geopolitics, nothing to be gained for russia. The only reason that this invasion is happening in my opinion is putin is a product of the pre-1990s kgb. He saw the ussr collapse.

He was really annoyed by that. He saw russia in shambles in the late 90s when he took power and he always had this dream of bringing back russia as a military superpower, and this is his opportunity. He thinks that the world is divided. He thinks that they can stop him.

He has all the money in the world from energy, and basically he sees this as an opportunity to bring back ussr um. Nobody in russia wants this. Nobody ever ever anywhere wants this. It's his own personal agenda to cement himself in russian history as the next lenin.

As the guy who brought back the ussr, even though frankly, nobody in russia is asking him to do it, i don't have a single friend, russian or ukrainian, who thinks that we won't back the ussr. Shout out to belgium here from my friend, rafael from from belgium. It does beautiful baby by the way um his grandpa is. Okay, andres is asking: does he have any flashbacks from world war ii? Grandpa is okay, don't worry about it.

He's fine. My grandpa is not easily fazed. In fact he's chilling and so more questions here. I'm gon na try to get to all the questions.

Sorry, if it's taking me a little bit more time, so danielle is saying i'm i'm just trying to get to every single question, so i apologize. I know, there's been super chats. I know that there's been a lot of questions i'm going to try to. I want to give the stage to everyone here so, while i'll take off palantir off the screen for you guys, if that's okay, i apologize for that.

I'm back. We had a little uh for those of you who are about to joke that putin did this to me. I don't think so, but i'm back i'm back in the stream and i'm sorry if i missed any super chats. Let me just get through the super chats real quick before we continue a chunky order is saying: sending love from singapore, i'm not looking at my portfolio or trading today, praying for ukraine and innocent russian people and families caught in this mess.

Instead much love and prayers for our brothers in in ukraine for sure i could not agree more with this joe basso is saying: what do you see in the market at in 60 days? I think joe, it's going to be very hard for me to predict the next 60 days, because it's going to be mainly dependent on how long this whole russia, ukraine situation, continues. We honestly don't know, that's the god's, honest truth. We do not know how long this thing is going to continue, and the next 60 days are going to be pretty much dictated by how long this can. This campaign continues and the moment that - and i said this before the moment - that we have some certainty about this - the moment that the market will allow us a little bit of certainty, bad or good.

As long as we know that the dust has settled, then we're going to see the market actually climb back until that happens, it's going to be a slow, painful decline and you can see the futures is down the s p down. The nasdaq is down as long as we have more uncertainty in the market, we're going to have more red. It's just part of you know, markets, love certainty, and the question here from alex jones is: is it ussr or fear that ukraine would join nato? I think it has nothing to do with nato. I think it's an excuse that the russian propaganda is using russian propaganda is basically telling you hey.

We're only doing this as a defensive measure, because nato is about to accept ukraine get on our backyard and imagine if we put russian missiles over there on the border in mexico. Would you like that? U.S? That's not the case, because what you need to understand that ukraine joining nato is not on the table. It has not been on the table. In fact, nato have come out and said that it's not on the table for the next decade.

Nobody has talked about ukraine joining nato until 2030.. It's there's not a process. That's joining ukraine, there's nothing going on as far as ukraine joining nato. This is, i believe, to be an excuse by putin to invade a peaceful peace, loving democratic country, sovereign country.

Just for his own and the fantasies of grandeur and ussr, ukraine is not in the position to join nato. That's not true um, so donald wilkie says i was kind of pissed at you. Tom till i saw this morning's video. You were overly optimistic, so fair enough.

I think donald, i let my hope that lives would not be wasted because of some manic depressive delusional, craziness ego trip of one guy, but i think i was wrong. He's willing to take a continent full of people who just want to go to work, feed their keys, kids, sorry and keep their family safe, he's willing to take to drag all of them to war. Just on his own personal agenda of some grandeur, complex of the next lenin - i'm sorry i i just thought he's more reasonable than that, in fact, there's a very famous author. Her name is barbara tuchman documents or barbara tuchman she's she's passed away in 1989, but she wrote a whole book about how the most important decisions in history that we now analyze and sort of geopolitical analysis were made because people were just impulsive and they were made Out of a complete emotional place and not rational, in fact, she talks about stuff dating back all the way to the french revolution.

How louis the 14th completely missed out on the fact that the entire french people were rebelling against them, because he was so busy with trying to figure out if his wife, marie antoinette, was cheating with his brother on him and just to show you that we think Of these leaders, as the sitting around the world war table figuring every move out, they're just regular human beings and they do stupid and i believe what putin did is definitely qualifies a stupid. I apologize if i missed any comments and super chats. I really really really am sorry uh, there's just so many comments. So many super chats.

If you did super chat - and i didn't read your comment - i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry. I know i've seen the super chat that 100 missed by my friend from romania. Christian. I'm sorry chris i've seen your super chat um if you can put it again without the money.

Just the comment i'll try to read it uh. I couldn't agree more shout out to every every single ukrainian right now. I know you guys are going through tough times. Um - and i agree here with opsar - it's just about pride - it's all about empty putin.

Hubris hubris is a term that we learned in school from german tragedies. Hubris, remember, antigona the the hubris, the the sin of the pride, and i could not agree more here. We have another super chat from mark pullman uh. Thank you mark.

He said he's invaded in 2014 and he's 70s. Nothing to lose exactly the man is 70 years old. He has all the money in the world he's probably one of the richest people in the world. He has all the influence, all the women, all the cars, all the houses.

He has complete control over russia. Nobody can challenge him. He has nothing left other than to chase some sort of a silly war game, dragging millions of people innocent people into this, and i could not agree with mark here uh. We have one more super chat here.

I'm gon na try to find all of them. I'm sorry guys i'm trying to do as best as i can christian is saying: putin just attacked tom hope. You are safe. No no putin didn't attack me, my guy.

Thank you for the for the concern. I appreciate it. Um there's more super chats here. Uh there's a super sticker from rock and roll.

Thank you rock and roll. I can't for some reason, see your super sticker, but i see it came in and for some reason it's not popping on my screen right now, but i see your super stickers. Thank you for this, so much rock and roll. I really really do appreciate the donation.

Thank you so much and there's another super sticker by cborium for two dollars. Thank you so much. I appreciate it, and so i want to keep reading some comments. I don't want to just read the super chat comments.

I want to give you uh some updates before we continue with the comments here. Um. As you can see, the dow is down 2.55 s. P is down 2.7 nasdaq is taking a massive hit 3.3.

These are huge numbers because we're talking about indices with indices 2-3 in a single day. It's huge if you look at gold. Gold is up it's a safe haven for crisis, but oil is up eight point, two percent. On the day, almost at one hundred dollars, i'm looking at my screen to the side, you guys can see it it's off frame, i'm looking.

If there's any big news coming out, because if they are, i'm going to immediately bring it back on this screen and i'm going to show it to you guys so the moment we have some some sort of news here, i'm going to immediately bring it back and We're not going to miss anything, so i have my eyes on the news all the time um. So i do want to read some more comments. Uh, there's some a few more hold down the second there's just a lot of comments. I apologize in advance.

There's i i want to go through every one of them, because i honestly appreciate you guys being here and supporting each other. I think this is what the community is all about. Eric somerville, i see your super chat for some reason. Just can't see it on my screen, but okay, i found it eric somerville is saying: communist jokes aren't funny unless everyone gets them yeah.

I personally hate communists and i hate communism. I think communism is the root of all evil on this planet. I've seen it with my own eyes, i think, putin in his heart of hearts, he's missing communism and he's missing the ussr. He doesn't even care about the fact that life in the ussr, as a russian citizen was hell.

All he cares about. Is this megalomaniac kind of nationalist ussr dominance like ussr, used to dominate yeah they dominated that people couldn't afford to buy lunch? What's the point of dominating when life in the ussr for everyday people was hell, and he somehow misses this, this is craziness um. So there's a question here from vikash singh: tom nash is russia invading territory that is not under ukraine control and run by rebels or area governed by ukraine? So, based on reports, we got last night and this morning they have invaded territories that are not just limited to the separatist regions of lugansk and donetsk. They have bombed the airports, the military airports in the kharkov and in kiev, which are completely not under the controls of the rebels.

They have been bombarding uh com areas in mainland center ukraine, so this is not limited uh to just the separatist area and there's a comment here, which i totally agree with david webster saying this would be the equivalent of the us invading canada. I could not agree more there's nothing more preposterous for me to think about an invasion by russia to ukraine is literally like u.s, canada. That's just no. It's craziness to me.

Um omaha, says remember to like the video i mean you can. If you want it's, not a big deal, i don't i don't mind um, there's a lantos adrian saying: when the leaders of a country catch a cold, the rest of us die from pneumonia. Such pointless conflict could not agree more. This is a pointless conflict.

That means absolutely jack and there's uh there's a really good question by brandon wagner here: do you think the fed will still raise rates now? No, not this is the perfect excuse for the fed and to do nothing, because this would push the markets down and the economy down, and the this is the bailout from the fed from i guess, from russia to the fed, because the fed now is in a Situation where they completely can just at least take it easy for the next few weeks daniel is asking daniel hijaz is asking: when do you think we are going to see a recovery? I do not know daniel. I can tell you that recovery will come once the markets have certainty the markets hate uncertain times right now we are at the midst of one of the most uncertain times in the past couple of decades and the markets absolutely hate uncertainty. The moment we have some certainty, good or bad, even if we get some news out of ukraine that the new puppet government by putin is being placed, then the market should rebound, because we will know what's going on as long as we have uncertainty and as long As we have uh rifles firing and bombardments, the market are not going. Markets are not gon na recover.

In my opinion, uh gold smashing. It says lwt trading, my friend friend of the channel, shout out to you for being here yeah, but you know why i mean we all knew that gold and oil is gon na go ballistic. That's like a textbook wartime. You know safe havens, uh yeah, anand houston is saying thank you for being here, brother anand.

I saw your comment earlier in my video. Thank you for the support. I really appreciate it and thank you for being here in the stream and okay: let's go uh. Putin is 70.

somebody's asking and it seems like they're a little bit shocked. Yes, i know he doesn't look 70, but we russians. We tend not to age as bad. I mean i'm 40.

I don't think i look. 40. um yeah he's 70 he's in shape and he looks good for his age, but who cares he's a really bad guy who's now doing an awful act he's invading a sovereign, peaceful, democratic country for no reason whatsoever. So in my books he's a very bad guy and probably one of the most dictate worst dictators we've seen in the past few decades.

There's a co there's a comment here from uncommon studios. You all need to open up the history books. Us is the aggregator one too many broken promises in my eye. Putin has every right to go back, take ancestors land, so you think uncommon studios that putin has a right to conquer a sovereign country.

That's done nothing aggressive to him! That has a democratically elected government because it's his ancestors land, i don't understa, i'm sorry, i just i have to challenge you on this one. I don't know if somebody understands your logic in the chat. Please elaborate. I don't see this based on this logic.

I mean you know how many ancestor lands are out there for people to claim. I mean this would basically if this was a valid argument, the world would be in chaos. Um somebody says putin making puts yeah if he had puts on this market yeah. Definitely we made a lot of money.

Uh i've answered this brandon wagner. I don't think the fed will raise raise rates right now. It would be highly unlikely to raise rates and send the market downwards when the market has been collapsing over the past few days, and what's the latest updates, we have on the invasion, so i'm gon na you want this. Okay i'll, give you the list.

I have it on my whiteboard here, so i'm gon na have to turn my head, so the latest updates we have okay. So essentially, this is now a full-fledged invasion. Uh the bombings and the shelling has gone beyond the separatist regions of lugansk and danisk uh. Sir there's a few airports that have been bombarded, uh military airport so far in kharkov in in kiev in ten other places in ukraine - and it seems like putin, was not serious about diplomacy at this point and nato have come out this morning and said we will Not intervene with military force to stop putin zielinski president zielinski out of ukraine this morning announced martial law, basically military, a state of war in ukraine.

Uh, the rhetoric from nato and the western side is very harsh action so far: zero zero sanctions so far beyond what we just heard: zero action by nato they're not going to do anything right now, uh, there's reports of explosions across ukraine right now. These are definitely dark times, but this is kind of the best update. I can give you based on the news i'm seeing on my screen. I hope this was helpful and um.

Please don't spam the chat influent uk. I don't want to ban you from the chat, but please don't spam. If you have a comment just type it once just be respectful and don't don't spam because i'll have to ban you and okay. So i'm going to read some more comments again, i'm just asking you guys not to spam chat.

There's a comment here really important. Op zar is saying moscow market banning puts yes, the moscow stock market have been crashing through the floor this morning, down by tens of percent insane crash right now in moscow, and i i'm i'm thinking they might just shut down trading so in in moscow this this Morning, because the stock market is going ballistic downwards there and daniel is saying: when do you think we're going to see recovery? I answered this question once we have some certainty from ukraine until that happens, we're going to keep seeing this okay. I've answered, please don't repeat the same question, especially ones that i've answered there's a lot of really really good questions here: um uh right over tom's head! Okay. I don't think i understand this comment, but thank you.

Okay. Joke went over tom's head. I'm sorry guys! You have to understand i'm dealing with 4 000 people here in the live which i'm trying to keep kind of going and reading the comments. So if i missed a joke, i apologize you know me, i usually don't miss jokes.

I love good humor, it's just i'm! Not in that state of mind where i'm you know, i'm feeling the the need to joke about things a little bit. It's just you know i'm not in that kind of mood. I apologize and yeah yeah yeah everybody's, like straight over tom, said: okay. Okay, i'm sorry! I'm sorry it is what it is.

Um there's a comment here from nick pavlov saying as a russian. I agree that communism is worst evil yeah. Anybody who grew up in the communist country will agree with this. There's no doubt in my mind and by the way, there's also very smart comment.

Aj joseph is saying, and now we know why alex carp bought so much gold, yeah gold went up today. Quite significantly, as expected. Chris, you gave a super chat. My guy okay hold on.

Let me see, i can't see it chris, chris, i'm sorry, i i didn't see your super chat. If you don't mind just typing the comment without a super chat and i'm going to pull it up on the screen, i'm sorry i just must have missed it. So if you just retype the comment i'll i'll pull it up on the screen, i'm going to try not to miss it. Uh.

Okay, there's this there's a super chat here from jason, tekken, hey tom! Is it finally time for otm calls on sqq? I don't really trade jason, it's not my thing. I don't do any trading whatsoever, so i wouldn't be the right guy to ask sorry about that. Um. Okay, what else do we have? They are now bombing kiev wait.

Let me see if we have any updates one moment: i'm gon na try to see if there's any new updates coming out as far as as far as new bombings in kiev hold on a second. Let me see if there's anything out there about it, and so i'm going to pull it up on the screen immediately. No, i can't see right now anything new that we haven't heard so far. Let me pull up reuters.

Usually they have all the fastest information uh. No, i can't see any news of bombings right now, can't see anything like this right now. I will pull up on the screen if you guys want. We have this live view of maidan and which would be better than looking at the market since the market is so depressing right now and hold on one second, so this is a by the way for those of you who are not familiar.

This is a live view from the maidan square in kiev um. I don't think i don't see any bombings right now there, but if we see anything, then we'll definitely be able to see it on the screen immediately from this view for sure uh more super chats hold on, let me try to get to all of them. Um. Ladies and gentlemen, i'm not tom, so i will say it kill the like button.

I appreciate it. Uh chris is saying was trying uh. This war is bs, only putin's ego is gaining from this peace and love to everyone. I agree with chris and i agree with chris 100 alan is saying thank you for covering this.

I appreciate it. Thank you for the kind words uh. A lot of new investors will suffer as this their first big drawdown. Yeah.

That's true. I agree with this angry. It's going to be painful, but it's it's temporary pain. It's kind of the situation where you're seeing all this shred and you just want to sell out immediately and just get out of the market.

You just have to be very, very patient, and here from latvia, jurgis zalatis is saying everyone is worried and the ability to help is limited. I support full sanctions, although it will have devastating effect on ourselves. Russia does not care. China will buy all oil and gas, so i want to break down this comment because i think it's really important.

It actually has a lot of content here. So what jurgis is saying is that sanctioning russia would basically cause an energy crisis in europe. Now oil prices have you seen, is already up eight percent today, so there's already, an energy crisis potentially happening with inflation. Now it's getting even worse.

So if europe sanctions russia, it means loss of russian gas which, as he says, china will happily buy off of russia's hands, which would mean putting europe into massive crisis of energy as far as costs and supply chains. So, even though that's almost guaranteed to happen, i think a lot of people in europe share jurgis's opinion, which is they will. They will take it to punish russia for what it's doing, and i i totally respect that and there's one more super chat here, which i can't find i'm just seeing this um. I'm sorry if i missed any super chat, guys, i'm so sorry, there's just craziness in the chat, uh i'll i'll try my best.

If i miss anything, i apologize profusely, mikhail galushka is saying be strong guys. I lose all my portfolio tesla and palantir, but will never give up yeah, i'm in the same boat with you mikhail. My tesla is 10 of my portfolio volunteers, forty percent of my portfolio. So, as you can imagine, i'm down big, but let me just remind you that it's not a loss until you sell it's just a virtual loss.

If you haven't sold, i'm not selling, so i have patience to wait until it goes back up and so there's a question here from furios. Both sides are at fault. Can you elaborate how ukraine is at fault for this? I just honestly don't understand, i'm not trying to be an to you. I just don't see how it's ukraine's fault where's, the both sides argument here and i want to give a huge shout out to the 4 000 people in the stream right now.

Thank you. So much for showing up and and sticking out with us here um, i just don't understand how it's both sides. What's the ukrainians, what's the ukrainian side here, i just don't understand. Um jason is asking: where do i live? I don't want this close jason.

I want to keep my family safe and my friends safe. So i'm not going to say anything, okay, so, okay, so there's emmanuel, saying sound of cannons means times to buy. I don't know. I never tried to time the market, the manual, it's a very dangerous game.

There is a it's super chat here from eric somerville. Thank you eric. I appreciate it. Uh oh comments, jokes aren't fun unless everyone gets them.

Is this the joke that went over my head? Why am i not getting this? Is this it? Okay? I i sorry it's too late. I haven't slept for even one hour today we did the live stream. With the mid i've been up all night. I apologize not in the in the best mood.

How did i just don't? Get it sorry, um yeah. Thank you for the donation. Eric i really appreciate it, and my brain is right. Now is a complete mush and emotionally you know i'm not in the best of situations um.

So, okay, okay, let me okay, i'm gon na try to! I see there's one more super chat. I'm gon na try to get to it as fast as i can. The reason belgrade channel members saying the reason he wanted. Ukraine is to strike first, but they didn't yeah.

He was trying to bait. I agree with this bill. Great he was trying to bait ukraine pro provocate ukraine to strike first, so he'll have an excuse. They didn't and he's still invaded, which proves that this whole backstory he's selling to you about nato and nonsense.

It's just a bunch of baloney um yeah. I agree 100. With this um, so there's a real question here from halter ferguson, financial and he's asking. Is it possible that russia is doing this for ukraine's resources, uranium, agricultural and metals? Possibly possibly yes? But i'm just thinking like it's going to be a very tough price to pay for this you're, getting all these resources, but on the one hand, that's good.

On the other hand, you just pushed the entire europe to diversify gas supply chains, so europe, in the past 20 years, have been debating whether to get off russian gas, because they're too dependent on russia and now putin just showed to them why they need to diversify And putin is going to lose his leverage over europe over the next 10 years, because they're going to start buying gas elsewhere, so he's gaining this, but he's losing something else. I don't know if it's the best play for him. Um, there's more super chats here hold on a second i'm gon na try to get to them as fast as i can uh. It's just a lot of comments guys.

I i really apologize. If i missed, i see some super chat here from uh lwt trading and investing. I see your super chat, but it somehow popped off my screen. Oh, i'm so sorry buddy, i'm so sorry, i'm so sorry, lwt lwt is a great youtuber friends of the channel check him out.

He just super chatted. Somehow it went through my system, i'm sorry guy subscribe to his channel. He doesn't really agree with me on palantir, but he still has a great channel a future guest on the podcast. Thank you for the super sticker.

Sids vlog. I appreciate it um. Thank you uh hub 70 for the 2 donation. China, with taiwan is next biden, is weak for china to take over taiwan is going to be much more difficult, territorially and strategically than for russia to do ukraine, because even russia has belarus, which is pretty much they control, so they can.

They can basically ground assault. Ukraine from all directions: it's not the same situation for taiwan and china plus. I think the us will be more aggressive with protecting taiwan. Um highland rocket is saying: uk military uk military help.

If sanctions fail air control, let's see, let's see hey if he comes through. If boris johnson comes through with that kudos to him, let's see if he comes through with that and i'm gon na try to get to more comments. So uh cassio one. Thank you for the donation, he's saying i've been covering margin all the way down.

All out of money to cover, sell it all and run or hold and pray. So i'm going to be honest with you cassio. I feel your pain, but i've said this numerous times in my videos. That is exactly the reason why i never never do margin.

Never. I want to be able to control my own destiny and if you go into margin when really bad things happen like right now you don't control your own destiny. The margin call controls you. So honestly, i don't know.

I can't tell you what to do. I just tell you that i really really feel feel your pain and and yeah. I don't know, that's the reason why i don't do margin. I don't know it depends on how long you think this is going to continue.

If this is like a two or three day thing, then then it's one answer. If this is very prolonged crash, then it's a whole different answer and matthew thrasher saying: will nato do anything other than sanctions? No because if if nato will actually get involved as far as military, this is world war three and they will not do it unless one of the nato members gets attacked. So nato cannot do anything about it, they're going to be starting in world war, three against the country with nuclear weapons and they're not going to do it and there's one more super chat somewhere here, chris brown, the singer with a 1.5 pounds donation. Thank you for that.

I appreciate it and there's one more uh lucas is saying um praying for all my slavic brothers and sisters and to end to this tragic situation. What good is money if you're not alive, to use it in a positive way, keep up the great work tom? I appreciate it lucas specific um. I also want to read a comment here from my uh from my friend the lwt um. I missed the super chat earlier and i do apologize for this.

So uh he's saying thanks for the shout out, get some sleep mate. I appreciate that. Thank you. I just saw your dm yeah, i'm sorry.

Your comment somehow went through this between the cracks. I'm so sorry for this um there's one more super chat here from uh hamud hadri, i'm going to try to find the super chat in the sea of these bear with me. This is not so easy. A nitro 80 is saying that is not true.

Equivalent of usa attacking mexico because it has got socialistic marxist country that threatens you because of its close borders. Uh. Okay, thank you for this. I appreciate the comment and where is the other super chat? Um simon saying? Oh man, tom? You are the savior of those of us.

Stick stick w fh alone and okay. Siemen is one of my moderators in my community, hey lwt. I found your comment um sad day for eastern europeans. My friend, all spike in spike, i feel, will actually benefit russia as they will sell to china.

Europe will be heard the most yeah. That's what i said when the i guess, when you, when you look at this potential conflict, there's nothing to be gained for anybody. So russia will benefit short term from this, as china will definitely be a customer but they're losing europe they're pushing europe into diversification, which is something that they've been avoiding for the past 20 years. He just proved to them why they need to diversify.

Finally, so he's going to lose and he's going to galvanize the entire eu against him, so there's definitely short-term wins for putin, but long-term losses for russia is, as it loses, its its leverage in europe and the gas supply and fevzi serif is saying baba, vanga and Nicodemus garonsky is saying the joke is on the world. Everyone, because communism is about everyone, so everyone needs to get the joke or smth. Okay and tm is saying communist joke saying it's a joke: it isn't a joke plus, then, unless everyone gets them. Oh, i finally got this.

Oh thank god. I feel like a sneeze was released like a sneeze that was stuck. I finally understand the joke. Thank you.

My brain is a complete mush. Finally, thank you for this. Somebody actually spent five dollars to explain a joke to me i mean thank you. I really appreciate it.

Uh there's one more super chat here somewhere from hamud al-hadri, saying, hey tom, i'm a huge supporter of your channel and committed member and patreon my prayers to ukraine from the sultanate of oman. Thank you. Hamud al-hajri appreciate the love and support and i'm sure the people in ukraine also appreciate your support and you being here on the chat, showing your support as well. Much much appreciated, uh zack wolf, one of our og members in the community is saying: yeah, never margin.

Yeah, never never, never, never. Never! I agree with ibn as well margin like gambling with your life. I don't want to be controlled by uh margin. Calls it's just too scary for me.

That's why i never never never never margin. It goes against my philosophy of um not putting money in the stock market. I can't afford to lose that i21. Thank you for the one dollar sticker.

I really really appreciate it and adam is saying: putin is evil, but western leadership is also at fault. Um. Spurring of internal strife within western nations and ignorance to russia as a threat, has enabled putin to attack with little fear of repercussions. So i want to kind of i want to drill down uh.

I want to drill down um what adam is actually talking about, so the thing about what he's the where everything started to get murky in europe is when germany actually decided to go and diversify into a sustainable energy. So essentially, what happened is that germany, in 2011 discontinued the use of their new nuclear power stations and when that happened, and they also decided to phase out coal by 2030 and essentially, they have inadvertently turned russia to their man's supplier of energy. The same thing happened in other countries, so europe has created the sponsor that is russia by by basically becoming fully dependent on russian gas and adam's point. Is it kind of created the monstrosity of this in russia, and i i tend to agree with the analysis.

I want to keep this going for another for another few minutes. Just to finish the chat i want to, let you guys go before market opens. I just wanted to be here in the in the beginning of the market and one more chat from ali rezda mabaraki. Anyone looking for facebook at these prices, i ali, i thought that the facebook was cheap before the drop, so i now think it's cheaper after the drop, even more um eric eric somerville with another super chat, always borrow money from a pessimist.

They will never expect it back. Jokes part two, this one. I got thank you for the live. Hope you all stay safe, hey eric.

I got one of your jokes at least so uh 50 success. Chris brown is saying: hey volunteer below 10. Anything to worry about or buy the dip opportunity and hold. So let me pull up volunteer and let me just kind of tell you my opinion about what i think is happening here, so that i'm back so plenty right now is at 9.66 cents.

Okay, let me pull it up on the screen uh because of my tired ass. It keeps uh screwing up the i i do it to myself crashing the stream. So, as you can see right now on, the screen. Palantir is down big quite significantly, so nine dollars 68 cents.

So the question is - and i can't tell you what to do chris, but i will tell you something how i think of it.
