All right guys, don't mind me before i start this uh, this video, i'm gon na drink out of my my favorites anime lady uh mixer cup, with some g fuel. No, this is not an ad, but people always say trey. Why do you do so much cocaine and i don't i take uh blue blue crystal meth, no, i'm just kidding but uh nonetheless, guys. What i want to talk about today is sort of regarding a lot of the media stuff.

That's been taking place right in yesterday's video. I talked about how i think media is a big piece of the problem and what takes place in uh the stock market right now, and there was a big couple things that have taken place today. We have youtube coming out, saying they're, not gon na, be you know, having the dislike button visible to content consumers anymore, you've got people that are pushing a narrative about adam aaron selling his stock, and that goes beyond just mainstream media even goes into some twitter handles, Who are infamous for uh disliking the man for literally, i shouldn't, say the man, the apes for literally their existence, so i want to start off with uh, probably this adam aaron selling piece. I want to put this into perspective for everybody right: adam aaron, the ceo of amc, entertainment, uh, sold about 53 million dollars in total shares.

This came out to about 625 thousand dollars. You can see this outline right here on his twitter page, anything that the ceo of a company says online can be held against him legally right. So if he's lying about this, which i'd have no idea, i'm just going to take the fact that there's legal binding to this for word, uh he'd, face ramifications. 62.5 percent of my annual pay is ansi stock, not cash.

I haven't sold even one amc share in six years. I publicly said months ago and again monday now, at age 67, it's prudent to diversify assets for estate planning. I still have all over two million owned granite amc shares, i believe in amc, and you see this plastered across uh the media right and this kind of coincided with. I don't think it was necessarily apes, selling the stock per se right this.

This couple you know red days that we had here uh before this nice, three percent green day. I think what it is is they push that narrative, and then you get this high frequency trading and the the big market makers and liquidity providers, and maybe hedge funds, other institutions that use that as an opportunity to push stock price down. And that is something to consider when you look at this sort of thing, because let's just keep this real, let's talk about what adam aaron does no right. He is not here to create a squeeze he's here, to run the company and in the process of that the owners of the company 80 of the people who own this stock right apes only 80 of the float.

They are the owners of the company and he is so to speak, the executioner he goes in to manage the business and try to get done. Do i think he uh he's uh good at reading charts i mean i probably i don't think this is the best time to sell at 40 bucks. I think he's gon na go higher than that. I don't think i think, he's a pretty poor trader if you're gon na put it that way, but uh.

I do think what he does to manage. The business is solid. He does what he has to do to keep things moving to try to grow the company right separating those two things is important because when he sold 625 000 shares, as he's announced right, that is, point zero zero. One percent of the free flow him selling his shares has absolutely nothing to do with killing momentum on any given day.

This stock sees between 20 to 40 million volume, and this is low volume right now. 625 000 shares is a drop in the bucket. The man's gon na be holding two million, the only ball that i'd have to pick right - and this is this is uh nitpicky is he said he was gon na spread those cells out between a three month period right uh, but he has been announcing this since The last earnings call and the earnings call before that q2 and q3. He said i'm going to sell stock at the end of 2021..

This is not a dilution. This isn't him adding to the float. This, isn't him uh pushing the stock price down? It's him just saying: look: i'm 67 years old uh, i'm gon na take some take some money that i've earned for the last six years right at 62 percent of his annual pay and i'm gon na put it in my pocket, and you know what that's his Decision to make it's his money, i i think that was an awful execution time stamp. I don't think i would have done it there, but that's that's the point and where i want to bring this home is the narrative that gets pitched right.

You see guys like uh charles gasparillo, coming out as promised. Ceo adam has begun selling amc. You got jim chanos who hides behind this uh. This cryptic freaking wall street cinema pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.

Afc apes right! These are things to pay attention to absolutely. You should pay attention to what is happening uh with the management of a company, but to pretend like this isn't something that's been talked about for six months. I i just don't know what you've been doing right. I can't i guess where i could maybe improve myself is, if i hadn't said in a video before that, he said that in an earnings call, i'd have to go back and watch right, but i could have reiterated that.

But, to be fair guys i mean really. That is something that we should be listening to as a collective investor. Having held the stock for this long, it's an important thing to do so. I'm gon na look back, i'm gon na see.

If that is the case, and if it is, you know i just that's something i have to improve on and i'll say that all day long i'll come out and say you know what uh i got. Ta pay more attention to these earnings calls uh, not even paying attention, but at least stating everything that takes place. So the people who maybe don't listen, can stay up to date with that. But this is something that has been talked about quite a bit and uh.

It shouldn't come as a surprise, and it really is not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I just think it was terrible execution. I think this man needs to study up on his chart reading, but i also want to talk about this. This is team youtube coming out today, talking about uh, getting rid of the dislike button, visibility for consumers on youtube, and i find this to be an interesting concept uh, because i don't really think it's beneficial to anything and what's most fascinating about this is if you Watch this video, they actually state that the creators are still going to get to see the like to dislike ratio.

So what does this come across as to me right, narrative, pushing brand uh maintenance, it's it's kind of a way to keep big brands and big entities who maybe get, as they say, dislike attacks from experiencing dislike attacks, they're trying to say that it's something about small Creator, this small creator that but i'll tell you what i i've yet to see uh a small creator that gets disliked attack bots like, for example, any random video. You click on with the white house, and that's this isn't even political. You just look at these numbers. 6.

35. The 95 blah blah blah. You go down the chain. This is something that takes place infinitely, that's not even depending on the political party.

It's just something that happens for me. Man i'll tell you this the big problem that i see on a day-to-day basis with media with things like this adam aaron selling, shares with things like this right, it's all about what they want, you to think what they want you to see and hear it's. This group think echo chamber sort of uh chain reaction that takes place and i watch that sort of thing take place on twitter right. One idea takes off because of one person saying something: one: media media source saying something mania whatever, and it takes off.

It's a freaking boom of the very loud minority that wants this narrative to be pushed, and it's important to be able to recognize these things, and i consider that to be infiltration to some extent right. When i talk about corruption and manipulation, it goes far beyond just the mechanics and the cogs of the stock market. It's also, how are people brainwashed into thinking, uh things that may be true, may not be true, but your thinking isn't really challenged and that's something that i, as myself right, i'm trying to improve on as a person that, even i you know, take myself away from Biases and try to look at things straight on, because i can recognize that i've done a lot of things right and a lot of things i could have improved on over the last. You know 10 months on youtube whatever, and this is one of them right.

It's really getting and digging into media here's an example for you right just a quick story. I, when i uh when i was talking about dark pools over and over and over and over and over, i can remember when uh dark pools were referenced in actual mainstream media sources as the percentage that is used in off exchange trading, that in and of itself, You can argue, maybe they just didn't know - maybe they didn't know, and it was just a way to make us look silly, but that is an example right. Media doesn't always get it right. Sometimes media doesn't have your best intentions in mind.

I'd say most times. Media doesn't have your best intentions in mind, like god like like this freaking nice lady on my my gpu cup, but nonetheless that's what i really wanted to talk about today. Right think critically about things that do come out: uh on social media, on mainstream media. When you read things online from myself too right, i am not a perfect.

I'm far from a perfect person, i consider myself to be the uh, the biggest degenerate, probably in my family, i am just an average regular day, everyday dude who gets gets stuff wrong, sometimes who maybe interprets things wrong? Who has a different opinion than you right challenge? My thinking challenge challenge adam aaron's thinking, challenge the media's. Thinking, challenge twitter's thinking right, be able to think about things that are happening on a day-to-day basis and come up with your own opinion right. I just don't want this. Uh group think right.

You have to you. Have to agree with necessarily everything that takes place on a day-to-day basis, sort of mentality, because that can be dangerous, and i just want people to be able to recognize stuff like this right painted on a day-to-day day-to-day basis. This is freaking out here and selling 53 million dollars in shares, regardless of the fact he's been talking about it for six months as if it's some sort of uh epiphany some sort of uh aha moment when in fact it's just something that we all knew right. We we all knew this was going to happen.

This is something we expected to happen, and it just is what it is. This is just one singular example of that right, youtube being another one: does this actually make sense? Does them taking away the dislike button actually makes sense? Does this actually help out small creators as it doesn't really do anything? It seems like they're trying to patch a problem that never existed in the first place to me and uh? It don't make sense, there's no other way to put it man that is some silly chicken. That's what i've got for this video guys appreciate you watching catch all the next one, much lovely taps, peace.
