Great to have you. So lots of news of tariffs. Curious what's coming in the week ahead with this April 2nd date. What are you most focused on this week and looking ahead to next week?
not necessarily a strictly car company, but as promised last week, a stock that we may be talking about every week is Tesla, which did see some improved numbers this week, but a stock that's been in the news for its volatility and questioning of where it's headed long term or also short term and near term as well. What are you seeing out of Tesla this week?
And speaking of tech names and the tech sector, what are you seeing out of that part of the market these days?
Well, speaking of modest ambitions, we've seen a lot of news out of the weight loss drug makers. Talk to us about what you're seeing based on some recent trial data.
One of the biggest, as you refer to them, turkeys of the day as it pertains to Thursday was GameStop. They had some news around Bitcoin. How would you articulate for investors what's going on over there?
Is the sense that GameStop is just doing a strategy, MicroStrategy slash strategy, strategy?
And what would you say about this Bitcoin-gold conversation? Perhaps many using as, well, I would say certainly many using as an inflation hedge when it pertains to gold, but both of them certainly come into play when we're talking about uncertainty and volatility in the markets. There were price targets thrown out this week around gold for $3,500 in the coming year. What are your thoughts there?
What are you seeing out of both markets?
Is that an academic ivory tower theorizing around what Bitcoin could be but just isn't? Is that why it gets this kind of discussion around inflation even though it's not necessarily accurate?
And what other macro data points are you looking at or that you think worthy of sharing some of those data points with investors that we've seen or that are coming up?
I suppose that's why they haven't done it.
Right. You got to get a baseline.
um let me ask you this what are you seeing out of retail it's a sector that we've been talking about especially vis-a-vis tariffs and and how those are affecting things what are you seeing from the retail space so uh no new data about retail
Wait and see unless bad. We'll take it at this point. We'll take it. We'll take it every time.
Yeah, all indications are that they were aware of what was going on and immediately took steps to protect Brian rather than look after Gabby or her parents' interests. And it was really unfortunate.
Well, that's really why this case is so instructive is because it's so well documented. You can see the injury. You can hear the witness call. You can see how the how the parties are reacting to each other. And you actually get to see the officer's thought process.
So they admit that they know that there was an assault, that there is visible injury on both parties and that they had witnesses saying that they had hit her. And so they're aware of that, and they choose not to do further investigation, and they choose not to follow Utah law, which required them to effect an arrest and to separate them.
And so while they know that the reason for the law is to protect domestic violence victims from the eventual murder or or worse violence that can come from not intervening in these situations, they didn't appreciate the risk. This officer Pratt said, yeah, that's the law and yeah, that's what it's intended to prevent, but I don't think that will happen here because of my experience and my biases.
And so that's really why the lethality assessment protocol that they should have done would have been so important because understanding the law and the situation, they could have asked these questions and appreciated and helped Gabby appreciate the danger that she was in.
Right. And that really becomes obvious, the biases that they have. They're clearly identifying with Brian. Even during the stop, they have conversations with Brian saying, yeah, my wife gets crazy too. My wife gets upset too. And so they're identifying with Brian and his situation in dealing with an upset woman. And so they're not seeing it from Gabby's perspective.
