Pursue your tomorrow with PJIM, a leading global asset manager. I'm Jim Kramer, and you're about to hear a sample taken directly from today's CMEC Investing Club Morning meeting. Today is very interesting, because this is kind of a classic day. We get good retail sales, people buy the retailers. We get lower interest rates, for some, I think it's kind of not real reason why, but that's bringing back that rotation that we saw on Friday that didn't continue on Monday. Exactly, and that rotation really started to form around 10 a.m. today. So, what does that mean? You saw some weakness in Nvidia, Amazon, the big megacap tech stocks. And then, what they're buying is Stanley Black and Decker, another one on the lower rates. And actually, in the retail sales, there were some good things about building materials as well, up 1.4 percent month over month. The materials, and by the way, retail, hard goods, appliances, that's fine. Yeah, exactly. You look at electronics and appliance stores. That was up 0.4 percent month over month, now 2.7 percent year over year. And that's why it's still copying negatives. Now, people are still saying, "Jim, why did you recommend Circuit City?" I come back and say I recommended PC refresh, people have to understand that. Now, one of the things that is happening, that is kind of incredible when I look at it, is there's just this overriding sense that small and medium sized business do well, which is why the Russell keeps going up. And I get it, the large companies, and you hear this from Vance, large companies have had their way, now it's time for small companies. That is something that Larry Kubo, who I think will be part of the administration, has always preached, so that's what you're seeing with the Russell. This is incredible rally. It's that broadening out that's been elusive for months, but finally, taking shape one day. But what does that mean for tech? I don't think that necessarily means running for the hills. In fact, we're looking at some of the weakness to buy some tech names that we've been waiting to come down. So, you know, we bought AMD yesterday if it continues to come down. We'll pick up more, you know, lower our average cost basis. Exactly, you know, look, this is a moment, say, when Ford, six times earnings, can shine. By the way, Ford, hey, listen, I don't want them to beat Musk with EVs. There was money on EVs for heaven's sake. So, I see that our portfolio is set up for this moment, and people don't realize that. This is why you buy Dover, this is why you buy Eaton, this is why you buy Best Buy. This weekend, people are saying, basically, why don't you just own tech? Exactly.
