00:00 Alright first one up since we're already talking about chips. Let's go to applied materials ticker a M a T
00:06 AMAT reported after the close last night and raised guidance
00:11 I mean if you're let's put it this way if you're in this space at all the semiconductor
00:16 Space which applied materials is they do the wafer fabrication equipment
00:21 So kind of like almost a pick and shovel play for the semiconductors doing some of that
00:27 Production there if you're in that space and you and you're not raising guidance right now, then something is wrong
00:33 EPS came in at 179 and 215 against the 179
00:38 Estimate 213 I'm seeing here beats by 22 cents revenue of six point seven one billion beat by two hundred twenty million
00:45 And then again gave some strong guidance where we trade in this morning last time I checked we were up about 11%
00:53 That's where we're at now. I will man that highs way up there that reaction high at
00:59 21739 I'll give you that as a potential target on the outside and I'll say mild support at
01:06 204 after you had the dip but all
01:09 Duke, you know uncharted territory here for a match straight up. No dip on this one, right Dennis. I
01:15 Don't know Joel. This is the market where stuff once it gets rolling
01:20 You don't be short and all-time highs in this market. I'll tell you that much there and the stock is trading at an all-time
01:26 High I didn't go to like my 50-year chart here. So I'm assuming it wasn't higher
01:30 Yeah, so we're way above I mean stocks at all-time highs it's chips everybody wants chips I like chips
01:39 So, you know dip and everything - um
01:41 It's impossible when they're making you all-time highs
01:44 It's very hard to call a top and you have mapped up 21 points
01:48 So I'm not gonna chase it up 11% here. This is not SMCI. So I'm just out. I wouldn't even make a trade on this one
