Jim Kramer here to share with you a sample of my take on the market from today's CBC Investing Club morning meeting. We start out with an 8-30 number, Jeff, that looks -- I'm tired of the term "coldly walks," because what really happened is the number they cut that was poorly tabulated in the previous quarter. We would never tolerate that in a year of artificial intelligence and generative -- and, by the way, accelerated computing -- because what happened is that January would turn out to be far weaker, and so they mixed them together and it turns out to be other than government jobs, it really wasn't a lot of job work. We've heard from a lot of companies that January was a soft month, part of it due to the weather. Unemployment rate takes up -- well, it moves up to 3.9 from 3.7. I think the Fed is keeping an eye on that. They have said that now that inflation has gotten at least a little bit more under control, they're keeping an eye on the other side of their dilemma as well. But, of course, 4% then suddenly becomes an election issue. They don't want to be an election issue. Obviously, Jay Palace studiously, if you remember from during the Trump period, he's the least political Fed chairman I've ever seen because he was faced with the most political president history. But I do say that there was a lot to like about the number because what it did was say maybe there could be a rate hike back in -- put me back on the table, some of it. Yeah, we'll see. Well, I mean, that's what I'm saying on this, because Mike Santoli did this excellent report this morning about how the semis were correlated with interest rates that I want to congratulate him for pointing out a pattern that people have been oblivious to. Well, and there you go. And we're seeing it today as well, right? On a march to almost 1,000 dollars per share. Invitation with the 20-year -- I mean, it's a little crazy. Yeah. But I would point out that you and I both know that Nvidia is crucial to why Broadcom could have a good quarter or Marvell. David had excellent analysis about the way the impenetrable notion of the financials of both those companies. Yes. But I come back and say they are connected with AI. And Broadcom did have a good quarter. We should talk about it. Because cash flow can't lie. Yeah. Join the CMC Investing Club with Jim Kramer.
