Well, this is the season to be reflective and grateful, and for me the checklist is always easy, grateful to god, my parents, my children and now my grandchildren grateful to my friends and grateful for being born in the greatest country in the world. The thing about this nation is that it was born with a chip on its shoulder determined to do things its own way, beginning with beginning with an intense commitment to freedom. This ingenious idea is why the united states race to the front of the pack and that's why we stayed there. We don't see individual borders and boundaries and we don't let expectations of others hold us back.

In fact, for me it's always been a motivation. I love being the underdog and while i don't ask for anyone's approval, i insist on basic respect now: here's a rub when it comes to pursuing our dreams, it's easy to be derailed. That's why commitment against law? That's why commitment against long odds, creates legends? Doing what they say can't be done, makes you a legend inspiring. Others is what creates legends, and that's why i love my friends in the investing egg community.

They are the personification of america, they have their own idea on how to approach the stock market and they've never asked anyone for their opinion. Unfortunately, just as america has its detractors from day one, there are a lot of folks out there rooting against the apes. I've come to the defense over and over again, because i want them to succeed. I applaud anyone in fact who's trying to change their life through investing and with that i'd like to bring in trade, trades, trey collins, you know trey uh.

There won't be any elephants in the room in our segment. We know what's going on on twitter and elsewhere, but i don't want to make this about one person. Okay, you were on the board to come on today since the beginning of the week to discuss this movement uh. So you know i don't want to necessarily do a feud.

What i do want to say is: i bought a hundred thousand dollars worth of gamestop and amc, because i love the apes and i want to show solidarity and that's why i think it's so important for people to be motivated by naysayers. Don't lose sight of the goal? You know what i mean. Oh, absolutely, charles and you know people uh people have a pretty good uh head on their shoulders intuition in terms of being able to uh recognize those who who do stand up against naysayers and then other specific naysayers that uh that might need lawyers. But at the end of the day, uh, it's all about exactly what you mentioned.

You know fighting for your neighbor and uh, trying to make the holiday season a little bit better. You know, and you by the way, are the personification of the apes and that's why i love you. I love your story and i'm glad you always come on, and and and with that in mind, you know often what happens is and this by the way is a wall street gimmick when they say what was, how did you perform in a certain year because nobody Starts from zero right, investing is not monopoly, we don't start at go with zero uh. So but it's a it's a wall street marketing gimmick.

Nevertheless, when a calendar turns attention spans can wane. Uh people can move on to other things. Uh. With that in mind, is there some what's next? Do you think, with the investing eight movement as we move into 2022, will it be as strong? You know my favorite thing that i i see kind of get pitched is this idea of the music will eventually stop playing and people will just forget right.

But if history has taught us anything, it's that uh, that you can kind of look at darwinism and see that people have two choices, adapt and evolve or die. And i think, at the end of the day, retail investors just want to learn. They want to educate themselves, they want to adapt to the market and perhaps adapt the market itself, and i don't see that going away with the flip of a calendar. Earlier this year you were interviewed, you say you said: amc would be around 25 bucks.

At the end of the year, obviously uh it's higher than that. I thought that was a very sobering target, but it was a matures kind of target uh and - and i'm i'm actually now, though, beginning to think this price, where it is now might be considered low. The spider-man success is amazing. You've got batman coming up uh.

There are a lot of signs that people want to go to the movies. They will always go to the movies uh. So with that in mind, have you changed your target based on fundamentals by the way? Yeah, absolutely you know it's kind of uh, it's funny to me, because six months ago, when i, when i said, i think the fundamental value of amc is 25, you don't think that sort of thing will come to uh to fruition. You know in that.

In that sense, but i think that i ultimately raised my target a pretty decent chunk and the reason for that being that i like to think amc trades like tesla by forward earnings. What is the potential of the company? What can they do a year from now? Three years from now, five years from now right - and you can really see the way that they're revolutionizing the movie theater franchise company space - i mean the nfts - are, for example, are a way that the company can raise uh capital without ever having to dilute stock. Again, if they're to create their own and issue them to investors that would like to buy something in that neck of the woods uh. I think that's amc's in a much better shoe than it was a year ago, and i think that adam aaron is leading the revolution.

The movie theater franchise will be around for another century uh. I got less than a minute ago to give me the rap signal. What do you say to your detractors? You, you know uh, you know other than than a fighting. Is it just for me? It's motivation and i just let them watch my success and i know over the years they watch they watch they grit their teeth and they watch and watch and there's nothing.

They can do about it. What would you say to them? You know what i would say is a year ago. I don't think very many people thought that we'd be in the shoes that we're in now right with voices as loud as they are, with people being recognized for their intelligence, their education, their entrepreneurship and look forward. Don't look back, you can't connect dots, looking forward only looking back at something steve jobs said in 2005, and i truly do believe that i think all we can do is take a step forward every day and try to be better as a community and try to Educate others, and i don't think that fire's going anywhere, that's what i've got trade god bless you, god bless the the investing apes and merry christmas.

Don't ever give up merry christmas to you appreciate it. Alrighty.
