30 p.m. Central standard baby, welcome back to trey's trades live stream. It is great to be back with you guys: we've had uh a crazy, crazy, ass 24 hours. Let me tell you: the market is absolutely stupid right now.

The whole market feels like one large meme stock, we're gon na dig into uh. What is going on on a day-to-day basis here, uh, especially today, i suppose, when more people roll in, but we're gon na give some time for uh for everybody to hop into the live stream. Who wants to be here in the live stream? Are you doing deep off with the f's in the chat? Y'All are a bunch of chickens. I was not late.

I was not late. Mr simon ain't doing vegas chef andrew appreciate you coming in in mind man. I always appreciate you that it does help out a lot, and i saw your tweet by the way, chef, uh, chef, andrew regarding uh franklin and that whole order deal. Don't worry about that man.

You know i get that sort of stuff every day. It's it's just part of the game. It really is you're. Never gon na stop uh the one percentage from being the one percenters just live life dude enjoy, enjoy your time and we're all hanging out.

Don't sweat. Are you doing uh? Are you doing juan que onda guedo? What does that mean drop some freaking gorillas in the chat? I do appreciate you all being here, it's great to be back uh with you guys, we'll be hanging out for the next hour and a half or so going over. What's happening with uh, with our girl amy with the broad market with ukraine, with russia uh with sort of what what appears to be some propaganda and narrative here for uh, the us economy, at least in my eyes, we do have some new sources to go over. We do have some talking to go over, but uh we're gon na give it a couple minutes and just let people roll in trey is uh deaf a person you can party.

Let me tell you, let me tell you see diddy i do like my cracking. I do enjoy my cracking uh. I try not to drink on weekdays. You know we we do pop back the ceremonial uh rip or two for good cheers and toast uh.

You know sometimes on monday, through thursday, but friday and saturdays, for the boys. This is my number one rule my number one rule on fridays and saturdays. It's for the boys baby me and alpaca. My roommate he's uh.

He helps me out with everything around the apartment and with with youtube and stuff uh every friday. We do the same thing. We get a bunch of jack and coke cracking and coke captain coke, he drinks captain i drink jack and kraken uh and we come back to the apartment and we we have some fun and play video games for literally eight hours, that's sort of our friday or Friday ritual maybe one day i'll get into party and stuff, but i don't know i've, definitely gotten old and senile. I guess: what's gucci trade where's, the green mustache, the green mustache was uh, it was temp, it was a temporary die.

I told everybody when i got it, i said: listen, listen, listen, linda! I'm not doing a permanent die on the mustache. Okay. I like my mustache. I don't want to have to shave it to start again.

That just sounds like a big pain in the ass. So we just we just did some temp dye. Temp dye was crack the crack into the uk uh in england. We will probably do that later in the stream we got ta get going.

First, we got some things to talk about yeah, michael, it's good to be back man. Let me tell you guys, you know, for those who have slowly kind of accumulated back into the live streams over the last uh last week or two, the reason that i'm live. Every day, right now is is very simple. It's because i am on my my 30 days of leave that i had built up for the army before getting uh.

My med board completed uh. So essentially, what i had here is my eyes and my heart. I got uh claims for that. It was five claims in total, they're processing the packet right now i had no disputes.

I had no, no, no, no, no, nothing that i wanted to to argue with right, so they submitted the packet and then from there. Once i get the packet back, it's exit orders. I wipe my hands clean. I'm done so uh that that process should take about a month we're about two three weeks into that month: uh and i'm just letting that game roll out.

So i'm chilling at home chilling at home. While we wait here, oh since i was 10 easily, i could grow up half a beer at least half a beer. When i was about 13 14. uh, we got enough people in here now that we can probably start talking about uh.

What's going on with the stock market here we're gon na start off, as we usually do and really should with our girl amy. So what is happening with amy right now? I i saw a couple people in the chat before we uh before we started. Uh wait. Wait one sec, so it looks kind of green, ah yeah, it's hard to watch out, but i'm trying i'm trying we're gon na start off here today with our girl amy in the chat i saw a couple people talking about.

Why is amc red today? Why isn't it moving with all the short interest that we have in the stock, and that really brings me back to a point that i talked about in uh, yesterday's video uh and live stream. To be frank, we spent a lot of time talking about this in the live stream, but there may have been people who are not here for that, so we can go over that we can make it very simple to break down. I know there's a whole bunch of different people that watch these live streams with uh differing levels of experience, uh and time that they have that they can allocate on a day-to-day basis uh, but i talked about it and did shorts get trapped this video right here. I i think i pretty well encapsulated the ideology behind why amc is read on the day right now and to put it very simply, it's because it's reflecting the broad market and the broad market's taking a beat down based on uh.

What could be a narrative or planted news regarding russia and ukraine before we dig into that, because i do want to talk about that a little bit. It is important to uh to discuss that way. We can understand why the market is read the way that it is today, let's first go over the technicals and the idea of where amc is trading right now. Yesterday i said there was two sort of scenarios in which i could see amc going right.

You had this upside level of support this white trend line right here. I left it, as is this green trend line, which is 20 square on the nut, stack hairs and this level of support at about 18 and 97 cents. We come over here to the five minute chart. You can see that amc tapped and tried to bounce off of this 18.

97. 19 mark didn't have the strength on the day, and this ultimately comes down to. If you ask me uh some people didn't ask, maybe you did, maybe you don't want to know, but i'm going to tell you anyway comes out of the spy the spy. The broad market is really suffering right now and probably more so.

Iwm is the better. The better example to give you because amc is a part of iwm, the russell 2000 uh, the top two thousand small mid cap companies in the united states stock market. This is having a red day and it's gon na drag down everything with it. You can see that if you just scroll through all these different tickers right, you go all the way down this list and there's really not a lot of them that are green d-wack, because donald baby dino makes us stocks go up up up up up.

D-Wack is green uh. This random ass thing is green vix, which is the volatility index, is green, obviously, because uh this is basically uh. I like to call it the fear index anytime, there's a lot of fear in the market. Typically, you see the volatility index.

Uh have a nice little move baba slightly green uh, this random ass stock, slightly green excel is green right, but for the majority of stocks out there everything's bleeding, and it really comes back to the broad economic scope and really sort of the uh. The war scope that is currently uh the economy - this is something the united states could potentially get involved in so uh coming back to amc, since it is not held in this present moment in time. This 1897 level of support in which i've mapped out uh. Previously, there's a couple different ways that i can sort of see this playing out in the minut in the short term, so i'm going to take these wicks right here right.

These wicks to me indicate a very simple thing, and that is a demand zone. Now you might be asking yourself trey what the hell is a demand zone. I don't understand this stuff uh. Maybe you do understand it.

I'm just reiterating myself, in which case you can just say off train you can go watch something else for a minute right, uh, but a demand zone is a point of chopping price action in which you typically see buyers and or sellers depending on where the price Is above or below these specific boxes, step back into the equation to push price in either direction? Uh, i label this as a demand zone, because you can see that it wicks out pretty hard in this box right here right. If we come over here to the 30 minute chart, you can see every time it taps taps taps in this little spot and wants to bounce back up. So with that being said, this would be the first level that i would watch for if this isn't a false breakdown underneath 18.97, if it is a false break on under 1897 you're, just gon na see it bounce back up. It's that simple right uh, but in the current market conditions and the current way that things are moving, it does look like the spy is going to have a true breakdown and i'm going to move into this next, which means that short term, you could see.

Amc do some form of retracement now what will it look like? In my opinion? What would it look like for the markets to get the turnaround that uh you're looking for so that stocks, like amc and gamestop, and all the small mid cap companies aren't getting piss pounded down into the freaking shadow realm uh, as if they were your grandma's saggy? Titties right, what it's gon na take to me is clarity on the russia and ukraine conflict. That's very important, because yesterday i talked about the spy and how it looks to me like we walked into some form of a bear trap right. You have this massive amount of selling pressure. Then you come into the pharmacy minutes in which uh, basically the fed analysis, are going to be pretty aggressive with rate hikes they're going to shorten the time frame in which we are expecting rate hikes to take place.

They're also going to show the time frame in which they're going to taper off buying securities within the u.s stock market. So it looks like that whole saga is going to end much quicker than people anticipated, which, for one reason or another, led to some bullish price action got a huge monstrous bounce off of 442 bucks all the way up to 448. Until you come into the after hours - and there was a piece of news that was released now - i'm assuming that most people have seen the news - they probably they have an opinion about it. I'm gon na look at it from an objective standpoint and we can kind of analyze what that might look like uh for the actual scope of things so check this out.

I first saw this news. Come from unusual whales for complete transparency, i'm gon na show you guys my tweet, because i did retweet this uh with the link i had read right. Let me come back to this really quick here. Uh did it do? Oh, this was deleted.

Well, unusual whales deleted. It so i'm probably just gon na leave this sweet, but it says shit's getting real man and it was a tweet from unusual wales discussing the uh potential conflict between russia and ukraine. Essentially, what it talked about was in this article, in which i had linked uh in that tweet, that i just showed you, ukraine, fires, mortars on separatists, territory and breach of ceasefire, says russia backed rebels. Now later you had.

Basically, ukraine make a statement uh, allegedly claiming that there was never any shots fired, so this could have very easily been a plant unless you were there, there's no way to know with absolute certainty, but it is at least worth looking into and making you go. Huh interesting, this really makes you raise an eyebrow that this would come out literally right after the most bullish move, that the spy has seen that the u.s economy, the u.s market, has seen in a little bit of time, and it's also fascinating to see. Because i was watching the futures market for for, for some clarity and for uh a backstory here i was live streaming on, twitch, which i do every single night. If you want to go check it out, i start at 7, 30 p.m, central standard time.

It's just twitch.tv trace streams uh i was streaming and this news popped in people were in the chat. They're like hey check. This out looks like russian. Ukraine are really getting real man, so i looked at it.

I looked at the news and uh it. It looked like it came from a russian source, which makes you sort of ask yourself huh, what's actually happening here, so we dive deeper into this. Article forces from the ukrainian side were accused of using mortars grenade launchers and a machine gun ukrainian government forces have shelled areas within rebel-held territory to the east of the country, a breach of cease-fire agreements designed to bring an end to the conflict. According to russian-backed separatist groups, essentially, what this is saying right is russia is claiming, at the very least, or at least russian propaganda is claiming in four or five d chess style that ukraine fired the shots first, perhaps to gain favor for russia over ukraine, uh dependent On sort of the world scope and how people are looking at this uh, this overall conflict that could be in yesterday's live stream.

I talked about how it looked to me like it was just a lot of posturing. It was a lot of uh a lot of just basically showing teeth right. Like ah look at me, yeah, i'm scary, i'm gon na you up, you know - and this was perhaps an attempt to sway public opinion towards russia if that was to actually happen. So we read on forces from the ukrainian side were accused of using mortars grenade launchers and a machine gun by the representatives of the would-be breakaway territory.

The lewis people republic, in the first reports of munitions being used in the conflict gripping europe for more than a month now now, for obvious reasons right, i can't claim nobody can claim whether or not they know with absolute certainty uh if this was legit or if It was not legit, but what i can tell you is, it seems very fishy seems like a plan. This seems like the sort of article that would come out to sway opinion into sway markets and to sway sentiment towards a specific narrative which brings me to this right unusual whales tweeted this out. This is from 7 15. In the morning today, february 17th.

He says russia has misled world about troops returning to base says nato uh. So that's you're already getting sort of a double dipping here in terms of what is actually factual and what is right. Russia has misled the world about troop returns to base says nato. Obviously, we all know what nato is it's important to to recognize.

It's probably the most uh trustworthy information source we can get in terms of what's actually happening here, but it makes you kind of ask yourself a question, and i have this tweet that i put up yesterday. I think encapsulates it the best way possible uh, but it was this check this out. If the russian ukraine news was a plan, it really speaks volumes about who controls the world man and it ain't the little guy. So this mirror's been getting crazy out there.

What i mean by this is very simply put if people out there in russia and ukraine, the united states, anywhere in the world, anywhere with political power anywhere with military power anywhere, where the mainstream media and power within that mainstream media can spin any narrative to make Any they want happen because get this. I really do not think this is a coincidence. You're coming off of great great pharmacy minutes a great fancy minutes. Yesterday from the fed, we got some bullish pimp back into the market.

You get this beautiful bounce at 442. Up to 448 and then all of a sudden, this news comes out in the after hours like what huh this the spy without a shadow of a doubt. That's a bounce right if you were to look at this chart, as is right here, looks like it's gon na break this laptop, and then you get news uncontrollable news by the way that comes out and just slaps away. All those gains based on something that may not even be factual and that's the truth of mainstream media as it sits today, is it's all about spinning a narrative.

It's what they want. You to know right now, what's actually happening it's what they want. You to think is happening that controls everything in the world, so i come back to my main point here right. What would it take for amc, gamestop, all the small and mid cap companies to get the bounce that you're looking for? It is clarity about the russia and ukraine conflict, because what did we just do yesterday right? Well, the federal reserve gave a little bit more clarity in terms of what it's going to look like to raise rates.

What it's going to look like to taper off of buying assets within the u.s stock market? They basically painted the picture at least a little bit better enough to give some some uh confidence back to bulls in the broad market to uh start buying stocks again right, because we've seen so much selling pressure over the last month. It's just painfully obvious that that was basically just the market going. Okay. You know, i feel a little more confident that i can buy some more stocks now with russia and ukraine.

This is the uncertainty. Uncertainty breeds fear, fear breeds bears. You got to get rid of the fear in the markets. If you want to see amc, gamestop all the small mid cap companies uh really get moving the way that we want them to, and i don't think anybody anticipated.

At least yesterday, russia potentially planting some news into uh to the world's news feed. So that's kind of what happened here. Man, it's it's a crazy, crazy situation. I'm interested to see i'm actually gon na take a poll on this uh because i'm always curious to know your guys's opinions, i'm one person, i i have an opinion, but ultimately it matters what we all think.

So i'm gon na ask this poll uh in the live chat. You guys respond if you'd like to. If you don't want to that's totally chill as well, do you believe the russia or the ukraine news was a russian plant? Yes and no answer answer honestly right, i'm not looking for any sort of uh any sort of sway. It's just public opinion.

I'm not here to convince you of anything, i'm just here to give you my analysis, my thoughts, my opinion on what i've read based on my short 24 years of life experience so uh you vote on that. If you'd like to that's what i think it's gon na take for for the broad market, especially iwm, and amc, to really turn around the way that we want to is just clarity within the markets and that comes down to the federal reserve, raising rates. All that sort of stuff which we have gotten clarity on right, we do have a little more clarity on that in russian ukraine conflict that is really what's holding back the market in this current moment in time uh - and you saw it yesterday, looking at unusual whales, If you were to go back into close yesterday for the spy for amc for basically every stock, you saw a huge massive uptick in bearish flow, and what does that mean right? Well, i'm going to show you unusual whales here, really quick uh as a quick disclaimer. I am affiliated with unusual whales - i'm not asking you to uh to buy the product, i'm just using this as a reference point, i'm coming out to tell you that i do have a vested interest in unusual whales.

So take that from what it is right. But if you come over here and look at the spy, here's an example that i can show you here really quick right. You see a whole bunch of bearish flow. You're gon na come over here.

Look at lots and lots of different ways to to analyze this, but essentially what this is telling. You is if you're going to look yesterday at hot chains and tickers the spy was on top at the very end of the day. A crap ton of bearish flow came into the spy for apparently no reason right. We just came off of great pharmacy news.

You saw it pump pump pump pump. It went from a down half a percent day to a green something percent date. You know, that's that's the situation which you're, probably thinking wow. Okay - maybe this is maybe this is going to get some form of a turnaround, but nope every big money investor was dropping massive massive bags of uh of dump into the flow based on seemingly nothing, and it makes you really wonder who knew that that russian conflict Uh news was potentially going to come out, so that's what i have to say about that.

That's my thoughts about that uh and we'll leave it at that. So far, the votes we've got 672 votes, and do you believe that ukraine news was a russian plan? We have 72, yes, 28. No, i'm gon na read the chat a little bit. Latino heat says i just want lou to take me to puerto rico and do body shots off my belly button.

That's very nice! Latino heat! I i! I don't really know what you want me to say about that, but i do appreciate you sharing that with us, nonetheless, because that is definitely uh the highlight of the day with the blood that we have in the markets as it sits right now, putin playing puts To pay for war, that is, a tongue twister playing piece of paper war, the paperwork that sounds like a rap dude, finding the bottom of the handle on larger cup and handles setup uh for amc or for the spy. Let's look at that? Let's look at amc here, really, quick amc could be, definitely could be if it's gon na cup and handle out. This would be the cup right here and it would be forming the handle with this sort of small pullback that you could anticipate if this russian ukraine conflict continues to drag uh, or at least the the controversy continues to drag the way that it has uh over A prolonged period of time, how's lamp lamp, is jay chillin. As a little update.

I have a picture of lou hanging on lamp. It seemed like the the right thing to do since he exposed me for having dwayne the johnson right uh. He brought. He brought the worst out, so you know what i had to pay homage.

I paid homage to the homie and i hung up his picture on lamp and he will stay there for as long as lamp lives and as long as i shall live, jason says the world doesn't revolve around the us market. Brother. True right, the the the world does not revolve around the u.s market, but let's just let's just take a step back for a second right. Let's check this out.

What is the world's primary currency? The dollar, the world's currency, the dollar's roll is the primary reserve currency for the global economy, allows the united states to borrow money more easily and impose painful financial sanctions. The world's currency is the dollar. I don't feel i have to say much more than that to really show how important the us dollar is and how big it is if the us dollar gets with. That is why i believe this russian plant news can go beyond just what's happening with ukraine right.

If they leaked this stuff all over the world, they leaked it all over the world. What do you think they're trying to do? Do you think they're just trying to influence ukraine? Do you think they're trying to influence china, no they're, trying to influence the world they're influencing everything you know? I? I think that i think this is this is pretty huge, won't be for long yeah, that's a whole different topic of discussion, but i i definitely don't disagree with you. I i'm i'm really really nervous about uh the the scope of the us debt ceiling. That is scary to me.

I mean, if you think about it, like this, what the what the united states is basically doing right now, let's just come check out the uh, the current u.s debt, current u.s debt. I think it's over 30 trillion dollars. U.S national debt clock real time check this out. U.S national debt 30.03 trillion dollars.

This is the equivalence right them not paying off debt just continuing to accrue debt. This is the equivalent of. If you had a mortgage on your house, it's a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage you're. Getting charged, i don't know three four: five percent uh apr, i don't know like a low interest rate, because interest rates have been pretty good lately and all of a sudden you just decided you know what i i'm actually just going to extend.

I'm going to extend my mortgage, i'm not going to pay for six months. Actually, now that it's been six months, i still can't afford to pay you uh, so i'm gon na extend it a year and by the way, if you can just write me a check in the meantime, while i'm not paying my mortgage uh so that i can Just go: do other stuff that'd be sick right, even though it's an obligation, even though it's debt, even though you're supposed to pay off debt, you have an obligation to the the debt holders right, you're, the debt holder, you have an obligation to pay back the lenders. I should say uh, i don't know i mean. Maybe it just makes too much sense.

That's a little worrisome for me and it's very worried. Some of the debt ceiling keeps getting raised instead of taken care of that's some scary stuff man. It was a chair, you're spot on durable printers go burr. Printers seem to have run out of ink printers seem to have run out of ink nasty nasty nasty stuff.

Ah, you've got problems in america but affects us all in the world: jade dub your spot on man you're spot on honestly. I feel i feel sometimes i'm proud to be an american right. I really am, i think, there's a lot of problems with the country, but there is there's problems with every country and i i like to think that the economy and the scope of uh sort of the culture behind the united states and every country for that matter Is always trying to grow and evolve and you're always making mistakes you're always trying to learn from mistakes, and i think the top one percent sometimes is really bad a lot of times. It's really bad at atoning for and learning from mistakes.

But i like to think that the bottom 99 normal everyday people, blue collar workers, people are going to work their nine to fives every day, people that that try to take care of their neighbor. I like to think those people always have good intentions. The majority have good intentions, they want to see people succeed and i think about some of the mistakes that are made by the people on the top, the people on the top of the u.s economy and how that affects the broad world, and it just makes me Sad, sometimes man, it's hard not to you - seem to have lost a lot of weight. Since your heart surgery stay healthy man, uh fortunado, i just don't, eat a lot, that's really it.

I probably lost muscle, to be honest, probably lost muscle, that's probably it uh. There was something else that was, on my mind that i thought was worth talking about, but for some reason i can't remember what it was uh. Why am i spacing on this chat remind me what about the thing the thing with uh with the thing you know what i'm talking about it was it was that one thing that had to do with that one thing. Ah, i'm trying to remember what the was.

I gon na say sorry for burping into the mic for perspective: compare the us debt to the size of the economy, yeah yeah! Oh, why uh yeah, the entire u.s economy in 2020 couldn't pay off the debt of the united states, where's all this money. Coming from what that is so crazy, dude, that's nuts, oh god, damn yeah yeah! Oh man, that's freaking gross! That's pretty nasty guys! I i i kind of wish. I didn't see that now. Whoever just told me to check that out.

Damn you! It's that's just that! Just makes you lose hope in the us dollar as a primary currency across the world holy crap, that is, nuts. The debt should never get paid all off. People don't realize the value of leverage mike shafer. That's you bring up a good point right.

Debt can be a leverage you can use debt in order to push yourself into a better circumstance. If it's done responsibly, if you're utilizing debt responsibly is it? Is it responsible for the united states to have in 2020, according to investopedia.com a 22.32 trillion dollar u.s economy and then have 30 trillion dollars of debt? I don't know i don't. It doesn't really make sense to me, but i don't know a whole lot about nothing. I think if you're leveraging more money than you're worth as an entire country, that's a little bit of that's a little bit of risk.

You know for me, it's like imagine this. Imagine you had a million dollars in your in your portfolio and you decided to go all in on a stock and then on top of that, you wanted to go and borrow one or two million dollars to throw on top of that in margin and then by The way, if things go south well you're losing money on not just your money but the margin you know now, it's obviously not exactly comparable, but there's a lot of risk associated with that. I think there's a ton of risk having 30 trillion dollars of debt for an entire country. You know, i don't know, i think it's a little risky uh, but leverage and debt can be a good thing if used the right way.

It's probably why blackrock is buying a ton of homes. I i believe that to be the case. I really do uh that's what i was gon na. Oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby, dude, glock, sock baby! Thank you for for that.

Freaking uh. Thank you for saying that, because that reminded me of something i wan na talk about coming back, titan the. How did you get up here? Hey get down! Why do you do that? You always get yourself stuck behind the washer and you sit there and quit being a dingus. Why are you like this? What are you doing up? You know what you did.

What are you looking at? There's nothing over there, hey, hey, stop climbing behind the washer goofball! Now sorry about that guys, you never know what you're gon na get with titan man, you never freaking know he is no don't do it again get down no get down. Why? What the are you doing? Stop get down down you're gon na get stuck, and i'm not gon na help you. Why he's so silly my cat dude is so silly every time. Every time he gets himself no stop.

What are you doing? Stop you're gon na get stuck all right. You're going in my room. Come here now come here, we're running, get back, hey come here, come here little turd come here; no, don't sit there high ass, all right, titan's gon na sit in my room for a while. I do have a i have a water bottle, i have a water bottle, i've got a spray bottle and every time i spray him to try and teach him hey.

Don't do this buddy you're going to get stuck behind the washer again he just doesn't care. He keeps doing it, he keeps doing it, he keeps doing it, he keeps doing it, it's not. I don't get it he's such a freaking goofball dude, what a crazy ass cat but anyways it brought me back to this point. I wanted to check something out right.

I wanted to discuss the shares on loan that currently exists for amc. I don't know why you made me think of that. Glock we're gon na have to remind him again about blackrock buying nope. I remembered i remembered uh.

It doesn't have to do with blackrock buying homes, but it does have to do with blackrock and uh vanguard. So i want to show you guys something. This is the amc institutional ownership according to finto as a disclosure. I've talked about this before this is based on proper reporting coming from these different companies and llcs right, so we're really banking on vanguard, blackrock, wanda, dimensional, silver lake group.

All these different companies having proper, accurate and timely 13 f's 13 g's 13 ds 13 a's that are being submitted uh whenever they're buying or selling stock. The two forms that i'm the most interested in are these 13 g's from vanguard and from blackrock right. What do we see here from vanguard as of 2022 february? 9Th vanguard has currently 7.6 million shares that they previously had and they upped it to 47 million total shares that was on february 9th. I find this be fascinating.

This brings me over to ortex. I want to show you guys something interesting february 7th. You have an uptick of 69.97 million total shares that were lended to me. You know what this looks like to me.

What this looks like is perhaps vanguard, swooped up a whole piss ton of shares, and not only did that increase increased utilization, but it took shares off the market that are now in vanguard's hands to withdraw and pull from different shareholders at any moment in time that They would like to do so and what's the circumstance in which this makes sense right. Well, let me come over here to the handy, dandy, microsoft, whiteboard. Sorry, if you guys, can hear titan meowing being a little drama queen right now, titan i know, but you're gon na get stuck every time you get behind the dryer. You get stuck all right.

So what would this look like right? Well, if you're a vanguard over here and you own - currently, i believe it was 47 million total shares. We're gon na come back and just check for absolute certainty. 47 million total shares right. You have 47 million shares and in holding those 47 million shares.

You know that utilization is maxed out currently at 100. What does this mean? Well, utilization is maxed out at 100. It means that there are no available shares to borrow this is going to be shares. There's none of them no available shares to borrow so if you're, a vanguard, you hold 47 million total shares.

The free flow of the company by the way is about 516 million total shares, and you wanted to lend out. Let's just say: 20 million of these 20 million of these total shares. Well, if you're lending those out, you know that the utilization is maxed out at 100, you can find value in the fact that you hold shares that people can borrow from you that you can lend to other institutions, banks or even perhaps, market makers. If the situation arose for it, you know that these are valuable shares.

You know these are valuable. Now. Why is this important? Why don't i bring this back up? Why did blackrock make me think of that right? It's because the last time that we had a major run-up for amc. What did you see that is similar to right now, this long periods of insanely, high utilization and what happened over here when the utilization dropped a little bit and then came back up pop? What was this, what was this moment right here would drop from 99 all the way down to 70 percent.

I believe this to be a forced share, recall now. What does that kind of look like right when we come back to handy-dandy, microsoft, whiteboard, and we can draw this out for you if there are currently we come back to ortex? You look at the total shares on loan. There's 116 million total shares on loan right now and, let's just say, hypothetically speaking, i don't know this as a consistent number, because this data is not available to us, but vanguard decides they want to lend out. 20 million of these shares.

Well, 20 million uh shares out of 116 million 116 divided by. I know it's got to be 20 divided by 116., it's 17, so that's 17 of the utilization. This alone would be seventy percent of the utilization. So, if vanguard out of nowhere said hey, these 20 million shares that we lent out to let's just say, citadel, the hedge fund uh, if they all of a sudden said when they see some buying pressure, starts, get a little bit rocky.

They don't want to have the risk of not getting paid back, they say, hey citadel, we want our 20 million shares back and they have to send it back that. What do you think does to the market? Well, citadel's short on those 20 million shares and all of a sudden get a four share. Recall someone always saw back in may and june. You get a massive pump up.

I don't think it's a coincidence that all of a sudden out of nowhere, you saw this huge spike up on ortex in terms of utilization in terms of security, landing volume, and then you also got two days later. The filing from vanguard for seven million shares increased to 47 million shares a difference of 40 million total shares that could have very, very easily made up uh, practically two-thirds of that entire security landing volume that we see right here, of 69 million titan god dang, you Buddy you're being a little brat, stop getting stuck behind the dryer. I swear to god. If you do that, no! No! Stop stop! No! What is your deal? Stop? What is your obsession with the washer? Stop? Stop! You are a goofball.

Stop! Stop! No! No freaking! Goon! No, no. What is your deal? Stop? No! You cannot go behind the washer. I can't get you out when you do that. You can't get yourself out when will trade choke on his no i'm kidding, but that's what i had to say about that sorry.

Titan's kind of thing's gon na make it difficult to get my message across because he's uh he keeps trying to freaking uh sabotage himself and get himself stuck behind the washer and dryer. I don't know why it does that you got to push them away and not raise the tone of voice, casts respond to lower tones and light batting rather than yelling no titan hey. Let me try your method nope. He just ran away.

He did it again nah. I didn't lose his toy, he just likes doing things. He knows he's not supposed to do like. Let me let me just draw this up for you.

This has nothing to do with stocks and everything to do with my cat uh. Let me drop what titan likes to do. This is titan buddy. Would you quit hey stop? This is titan titan over here is a little devil.

He's got whiskers he's got little ears he's getting big we're gon na make him look like this? No, no! No! No! What titan will do i'm going to give you three different examples? Number one washer dryer. He loves getting stuck behind the washer and dryer. This is his favorite pastime. It's absolutely crazy.

He just climbs up. He jumps up on the washer and dryer. He eats himself up there like a freaking hulk and then he jumps behind the dryer and he sits there and meows. He goes now man because he can't get out.

So that's that's one thing he likes to do second thing. If i'm in the shower or the bathtub, and i'm just chilling right taking a shower, he jumps into the shower with me and he gets all wet. He does this, he bats at me. He leaves i'm like well.

What do you? Why do you do this? Almost every day my cat jumps in the shower with me to get wet and to get out and be like. Well, i didn't want to do that. I don't know why i did then he does it again. Third thing that he does - and i spray him for this because he's a little dick.

The third thing he does is, if i'm at my computer, sometimes he'll just come up and i'll draw this up in a very simple way. This is my kneecap. No, this is my kneecap. This is my leg, uh down to the shoe right.

What titan will do is he'll grapple on with both of his arms that draws perfect circles, he'll grapple on with both of his arms to my leg. Then he brings his head up here. This is titan's head little mouse ears and he just bites my kneecap. He does it over and over and every time he bites.

My kneecap. I spray him with the water bottle and it'll leave for 60 seconds and i'll come back and i'll. Do it again, like my kneecaps right now have, i think, scars he drives blood on my knees almost every day, it's insane a lot of freaking goofball. I also have no idea what luna is no clue.

I had a shower in the shower. What are you, what are you supposed to do in the shower? A lot of scams going on in the market today? Are they sending amc? Synthetic to these unknown stocks? Says rage, tv um: this isn't even me being a pessimist. This is me just being honest with you guys, right uh. I think sometimes people try to stretch what is related to amc and what is not related to amc.

So fact there's a lot of scams going on in the market. 1 million agree ton of scams, especially within cryptocurrency, terrible right now, within uh shorting by mainstream media and hedge funds, in terms of putting out short reports and taking advantage of front loading and spoofing and all that sort of that happens a crap ton. But it doesn't really mean that it's tied to amc right. I think that what we have to accept is very simple, and i can put this to you very easily.

Look at iwm look at the russell 2000. What do you see here for this stock? You see this game, getting piss pounded it's in a bear trend right now, and then it has 40 percent short interest uh compared to the spy which has, by the way, i think, like 16 short interest. That's massive! That's almost two and a half times larger. So what does that tell you? It tells you that there's a lot of big money, they're trying to absolutely pummel small, mid cap companies right now for whatever freaking reason.

That's a big deal that that is in and of itself, i believe corrupt. I mean if you're, trying to short a etf to the point in which it looks like it's a freaking penny stock. I mean penny stocks have 40 short interest. I think sometimes it's just like amc is a part of a massive amount of corruption and manipulation and fraudulence within the u.s stock market.

That, to me, is what i, what that, what that, what what that represents? Hey why'd, you unplug that all right there we go is adam. Ah man, the entire market is a scam. The entire market has a lot of work to be done. That's that's without a doubt by the way amc uh in case you're, wondering chat, is uh approaching this green box down here that demand zone uh.

That is where i'm looking for the first sign of a bounce deriving from this choppy price action back here in case you're. Just tuning in demand zones very simply put our points in which you can expect buying and selling pressure, no points to which you can expect buying and selling pressure to uh begin, depending on where the stock is trading above or below that line uh. So this is the first spot that you're looking for some form of bounce is the top of this box and then probably the bottom of this box. So we're gon na be watching that uh as of right now, are you a miss? May i fan dude? I grew up on that stuff.

That's crazy! I haven't heard that name in a minute. I listened to a lot of miss. May i, after the burial of my cement, i actually have tattooed on my wrist. That's my favorite band, probably of all time.

To be honest with you, i really really grew up heavy on on metal. I used to play in a metal band back in high school. It was a lot of fun. Are you doing pizza boy millionaire yeah today is a struggle bus day.

Chad can. I just have, can i just have a big fat? This is all that i need right today has been a hell of a day. Titan is being a little monster. He lives up to his name.

Little did i know when i named titan uh that he would become the freak that he is today. Let me tell you uh. I still love him. I think i'm the only person, i'm planning on deca love titan the way that i do uh, but do me a favor drop, a single like as pity to the terrible situation that is my current life circumstance with titan this this little cat.

Let me tell you he's: he is a: he is a monster uh and quite the little dude to deal with uh. It would mean a lot and i'll tell you what if we get to uh 2100 uh for no particular reason. This is the first number that came to mind 2100 likes i'll pop back, a a rip of the kraken, we'll release the kraken uh and give you guys good nice cheers and toast, as we usually do here on the trace trades uh live streams. I do enjoy doing that so, if you'd like to feel free.

If not, i i am not here to uh to to to pull on your nipple hairs, you do what you got to do now. Titan is neutered, he's just crazy he's just crazy. He is just an insane cat. I cannot believe how hard the spy is tanking right now, if you look at this on a 30 minute chart, this has got to be.

It's got to be really really close to where this thing pulls back up for some form of reversal like if it doesn't bounce on this white line, which it's not looking like it's going to do right now. You could seriously see this drop to like 436 and some change beneath that's like free fall territory. I mean if it drops back down to 435. Oh man, that's pretty gross.

This is this feels like a pretty drastic overreaction to what could be potentially planted news by the way i'm gon na end this poll we have 2 530 votes on the poll as of right now, do you believe the ukraine news was a russian plant? 66 percent said yes, 34 said: no. Is this a ladder attack uh dno? No, i do not believe this is a ladder attack. I i i think there are times in which amc is absolutely targeted and is ladder attacked. That does happen.

I believe that, with all the conviction inside of my ball sack, i mean that, but what's holding it down for real today is simply the broad market reacting to potential conflict between russia and ukraine. That is one million percent. What's happening right now, uh, it's the entire market, getting clapped over what it could could have potentially been fake news to just put it very simply. It could have been fake news and you're just seeing everything get smoked because of it.

It's insane. It's absolutely crazy stuff. Man, do you spin the wheel again ian? We can spin the wheel today. If you want, i don't mind it.

Don't bug me at all. The us literally announced this false flag weeks ago before it happened, says renwyn outcast, like i'm saying this feels like a drastic overreaction of what could have been potentially fake news until i personally myself see some form of the united states uh, you know i have to Come out clean, i said this earlier in the stream, but in case you're, just tuning in i retweeted unusual whales tweet, because i read the source. I didn't take the time to to uh analyze where that news source came from and it did happen to be a russian conglomerate, so that does play a factor in uh sort of the outlook of the the the credibility of the news source. So i retweeted that not having looked into that.

That's a up on me. I own that every single day of the week uh, but what i'm looking for now, especially after having uh, read that and watch that situation play out. The way that it did is a u.s source, some form of u.s media source, perhaps the united states military coming out and making a statement regarding that entire situation. If i see something like that, then you know you know, because the united states is pretty closely watching uh, that entire situation in the first place.

I want to see the kitty says: tashi all right, fine, fine, fine hold up. I think he got himself locked in my room just now. How did you do that? Do you sit here and whine all day, but you do this stuff to yourself buddy. You do this stuff to yourself like what do you want me to do? Here's the beast! You are being insane right now.

You have an eye. Booger no hold. Still i'm trying to help. You don't bite me, don't bite me.

No, i'm trying to get your hold still. Let me get your eye booger all right. Let me get your eye. Booger hold no hold still hold.

Still. Let me get your eye. Booger buddy, i'm not trying to fight you. I'm not gon na help, you all right.

No, i come on stop yep there. He is. You. Are such a cranky old man you're not even a year old, goofball uh coming from? Let me reread that again: ow! Stop god dang it buddy! Oh cat! Would you stop that huh? Okay, now you're really dumb? Yes, oh you got me good right on the back of my calf.

Ah yow release the captain. That's that's probably the best way to put it man - oh my god, yikes that was gnarly yeah, my cat's, my cat's, a dick he's, a really big dick. Why are you on the fridge now, chad, i'm sorry, this is probably not entertaining to watch. Usually we talk more stock stuff than this, but but titan is is being a brat this morning he's just uh.

He just loves attention. I i think he does all this stuff literally just so. I pay attention to him. The heck was that oh, whoever just bought gamers up.

I appreciate that. Thank you for that you're. Getting me one step closer to a free, booby cup. That's all i got ta say about dad: titan was a plant must have been.

That must have been that's really the only thing that makes sense whenever they invade ukraine we'll see a negative 20 spy day. Ah, i don't know about negative 20, but i do think it'll be a pretty rough day. You could see if we come back here to the colbit era, the worst spy day that we've really seen negative 10 negative 9 negative 4 negative 7. negative 10 is probably the worst.

That's probably the worst spy day we've seen negative yeah, we'll see we'll see. It's tough to know stuff to know hard to predict. War is definitely uh a subject that that breeds fear, though, without a doubt, we know that we know that world war, which titan is titan the colossal, oh without a doubt, without probably the attack titan. To be honest, probably the attack titan because he loves he loves to fight.

Now i've got wealth on my calf buddy ow uh. Let me check this out really quick. Okay, can't read your mind, guess not. What does nato mean? Nato is the uh, the north atlantic treaty organization uh.

Essentially, nato takes stances on specific uh conflicts that go on within the world, there's a bunch of different agencies and organizations that that comprise nato uh. So it's just a conglomerate of a bunch of different organizations that come out and make decisions based on things like russia and ukraine. Amc is down about 1856 right now, coming very close to this green box. That's gon na be the next level to watch for, looks like i might tiptoe there uh spy's, getting a small form of a bounce, so we're waiting.

It's not enough, not quite enough to say that we're out of the danger zone here for the spy. Yet i think if you get a double bottom of types on uh on the spy you're, probably looking pretty decent personally myself, if i was in the spy right now, uh - and i was looking at - you - know - significant levels playing puts this to me is a spot Where you typically see pretty nice bounces, so if it's gon na bounce, this is probably where i'm not telling you to collect all the profit on your position. You guys do ultimately what you got to do right, i'm not a financial advisor. It's not financial advice.

Do what is best for you right? That's really the most important thing that i can tell you uh, but what i will say is just historically speaking, looking at price action. That is a very tough box to crack. If it's, if it's gon na bounce, it's probably gon na be here, i would just try and collect probably some profits myself. Personally, you guys do you uh.

If i was playing spy puts right now, you know what's actually interesting. This is actually put out to me by alpaca alpaca. Can you hear me, maybe not i wanted to talk about paypal, because i i remember i talked about paypal. Not that long ago i had a crim jammer skit, where he talked about paypal and uh.

Let me tell you, let me tell you, jim cramer, told people to buy paypal on this day right here. The stock was trading at approximately 256 bucks at the open low of the day was 253 look at the benefit of the doubt. We'll give him the absolute low of the day and say with 253 bucks, no, no, no! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! I'm trying the nice method be a good cat, be a nice cat, stop being a terrorist you're, not from russia. No, i'm kidding be good; no, no! No! No! You just don't give a paypal, so paypal, uh, jim cramer, told people to buy at 250 bucks now for 105 dollars.

I think i mean if you, if you bought paypal off of jim cramer. You know right here. You could have made some money. You could have made about 25 bucks a share, but now it's at 105, pretty nasty.

I don't know man, i don't know, that's pretty.
