We are back at it, wine and down the end of the week, another dreary to Detroit day here behind me. I hope everybody's got a little bit more sunshine than we do. It's also very cold. I'm now wearing a light jacket in the morning, but what's going on guys. Market is ripping again. We are back to where we were before that Monday sell off, you buy the dippers out there. All of you by the dippers. I was not wanting. Congratulations to you. Round of applause, pat yourself on the back, you won a game. Uh, you know, I'm going to go ahead. Let's just look at this, this chart aspire really quick for a second, and we're going to zoom it out to a year and then we'll go to five years. Uh here's the one year chart is by, by the day. Tried and true. Uh, here's a two-year charter spy by the dip tried and true five years. All right. I guess at the, by the dippers, just always seem to win this one. Uh, but what's going on guys? This is the power hour. This is the trade idea show. That's why we spend this time together every single day. So if we are not delivering on ideas, call us out. You are empowered to do that in the chat. We're going to get rocking and rolling. Uh, first op we're bringing in Daniel from Curzio reading. Good. Good, good friend to Frank over there. Uh, and Daniel's going to be dropping some ideas on us. He's gonna be talking about the China situation a little bit, I believe. Uh, and then we, we have three public company CEO interviews today. Jam pack guys. Okay. Three public company's CEO interviews. A lot of them may be stocks that you're not familiar with. I'll give you the tickers there. S T a B N G T F and S O V O. Uh, so, so again, S T a B N G T F S O V O a, but without further ado guys, uh, let's go ahead and bring Daniel from Curzio research in there. And when you, if you have takers, drop them in the chat, uh, I see, et cetera, ETCs already go and he's got his affirm on there. He's got his hymns on there. Um, and, and, yeah, let's get these in here. Solar ops. We're talking about the cannabis. I am not in any of the cannabis stocks now, but, but, but maybe I ought to be, but let's ask Daniel, Daniel, are you in any of the cannabis names? Um, not right now. No, but, uh, they've been coming across the headlines a lot. And first of all, thanks, thanks for having me great to be here. Um, but if I were to look at something in full disclosure, I don't have it and I've been kicking myself, but , uh, if you want to pull that up, there are basically a roll-up company that does a medical marijuana and the facilities that they're going to use to produce and grow and distribute. And that's char has been absolutely beautiful from an investor standpoint. Five-year chart. Yep. And, uh, those guys, uh, I believe it's wall street guys that just got together and man, they they've just been knocking it out of the park. So that's the one that I would look at first, other than the big names Tilray and those et cetera. But man, a friend of mine gave me that under a hundred and I just kept thinking, all right, I'll wait and wait and wait. And, uh, that's, that's frustrating, but that's investing that's okay. Uh, and, and Daniel, but before we hop into it, uh, give me a little bit of your background. Tell us, tell us about your trading investing career. Um, and then let's dive into some time. Absolutely. So I joined a Frank Curzio here at Curzio research. Uh, coming up on four years. It'll be four years this October next month. And my background before that was, I started in the brokerage business as a financial advisor, uh, had series seven and 66. Then didn't enjoy that. I like the research side, but not the front office standpoint. They believer in savings and investing. And on the saving side, I'm big into whole life insurance as a, as a wealth management tool. I know that raises a lot of red flags and always gets a good conversation started, but that's for another time, I can argue that until I'm blue in the face. And, uh, then when I was listening to Frank's podcast and following him through his career, and when he said that he was starting his own shop and wanted an analyst, I threw my hat in the ring and here we are going on four years. Uh, and give it, give us the short insurance pitch. The short insurance pitch is if you're disciplined enough to say, if you compare a whole life insurance policy to a bank account, there's no other product out there that is quote unquote as safe and reliable. And it gives you the opportunity to earn interest as you use your money. And there's a big difference between the interest you earn and the interest you pay with the flexibility on that. It's a fantastic wealth building opportunity over the long term. It's not a trading deal. Uh, if you're, if you're old right now and I don't mean to be rude about that, uh, that's what, you know, everybody thinks they're too old for everything these days, but, uh, if you're anywhere under, I'd say 50, you ought to really give it a look and most policies are set up. In favor of the insurance company, meaning higher commissions, and you can split those premiums up and infinite banking process. If you Google that, you'll, you'll see a lot of good stuff. Uh, infinite banking by, uh, Nelson Nash. I believe I'll tell my head as a great book to dig into. All right, there we go. And if anybody has a question about the insurance side, dropped them. And I'll pass it along to Daniel, but all right. Let, let, let, let's get back to the stock side. What what's on your radar right now? What are you thinking about? We, you, you gave us a cannabis name to look at already, but, but what else? Yeah. And that was driven by, uh, you know, if you, you guys are all market junkies. So as you're looking at headlines and everything, uh, the biggest lesson that I'm learning and, you know, I don't have a crystal ball or anything, but you gotta be able to decipher. News to act on and what to ignore. And when you just, when your market junkies and you see a lot of things coming across your desk or your eyes, uh, in my opinion, headlines around pot stocks kind of went away and now they're coming back and I say, they're coming back over the last month, at least in my opinion. So, uh, and that's driven politically, uh, there's a lot of headlines about, um, there's a group of. I think there's a bill in the house or the Senate. I'm sorry, I don't, I'm on the fence there about protecting banks that do business with, uh, pot stocks, because that's a big red flag right now. Cause you still have this illegal NIS at a certain level. I mean, it's kind of scary to think about, Hey, the feds can basically go in and shut anything down, but we're not going to. So we're in this process of, Hey, this is a law, but we're going to ignore that. Uh, we see a lot of that with politicians on both sides of the aisle. So that's not anything new. That's, you know, I look through the world from a political and economic lens. Uh, I think everybody should do that because it literally affects everything in our lives, in reality, as consumers and individuals. Okay. Alright. And I'll, I'll draw, I'll throw mine in the ring too. I'm going to throw in the, the one that everybody thinks about, but till Ray, uh, Erwin Simon, CEO of Tilray founder of Hain, celestial, good friend of Benzinga. Um, I, I, he he's, I followed his career for quite a while and he's just such an incredible operator. Um, and, and so if I had to pick one, I'm picking the track record of, of, of his, on the management side and that's where Tilray would be my plate. And that's great because you want to focus on individuals. I mean, when you, when you don't have an investment that you can control, so it's not close to the vest you want to invest in management teams. Um, Frank talks a lot about that with, especially in the resource sector, you want proven management teams, you want skin in the game. So if that gentleman and you know him like that, that that's a, that's a check mark on the, on the good side for the teacher. Yeah, absolutely. All right. Well, what else is on your mind? You know, Yeah, we'll go from a boring to exciting. So low-hanging fruit. Uh, Intel has dropped the ball for a number of years. They've let you know, their lunch has been eaten by their competitors. They have a new CEO and I'm going to butcher this, but pat gins learner, and he just took over in February of this year. And I think that this is a situation where you can buy it and forget about it. I have a little bit of a full disclosure. You earn a decent yield. And I think that as there's more volatility in the markets, and if you see this transition from growth to value, like everybody's warning about or volatility, you're going to go into
