BIG WEEK [04.27.2026]

Investor's Edge with Gary Caltbaum, straight talk about you and your money.

Now from the BizTalk Studios, here is Gary Caltbaum.

And welcome once again to Investor's Edge.

I'm Gary Caltbaum, your host A. Thanks for being with us today.

Glad you're here, ladies and gentlemen.

Happy that you are listening.

It's Monday, it is April 27th, it is 2026.

Hope you had a good weekend.

As always, serious talk on everything that affects you will do the markets, the economy,

your job, your industry, the war, tariffs, assassination, attempts, and whatever else

comes to mind.

If you do not get this radio show in your city, we'll post it at GaryCaid.com, we'll also

post it on our X-feed, if you don't follow us on X, just go there and put our name in.

If you'd like to email us, just be nice, just be respectful, completely disagree with

us, but just be respectful because we'll be respectful back unless you like Hamas.

My comments on the events of the weekend.

I don't give a crap what a politician says or does.

People like this man who took a train across country and attempted to assassinate any number

of people that worked in the administration via his manifesto and the president let

him rot in jail the rest of his life.

I don't want to hear about not in his right mind, I don't want to hear anything except

in dynam, try and find them guilty and put them in jail for as long as you can put them

in jail.

It's simple as that, that's where I start.

It's just like Luigi, I must tell you how disheartening it is, how women are lining

up sending him mail that they want to marry him because of Luigi's good looks.

While he cowardly prick that he was, stood behind the man and shot him in the back.

The first part of what I wanted to say is they indicted him and he will not be saying

the light of day for a very long time.

I always think to myself, do these people think things through?

He put out a manifesto, he actually sounded lucid in his manifesto, but it was almost

like, yeah, I'm going to go to publics, I'm going to make my list of food to get, I'm

going to walk down these aisles and this is what I'm going to get and hopefully I can

get a two-foot walk.

It was like, so matter of factly, his manifesto, that's number one.

Number two, I am not a conspiracy theorist, I know there are people out there that believe

9-11 was an inside job, we didn't land on the moon, but I'm also a logical person and

this is all I'm thinking to myself, remember Butler, Pennsylvania, where the scumbag shot

the present in the ear and he's now dead, the scumbag?

I'm no secret service, but if I want to protect somebody,

I'm putting somebody in every roof that has a chance to shoot and they didn't.

And I'm thinking to myself, are these people inept?

Was the security inept in Butler, Pennsylvania?

That dead idiot should never have been able to be on that roof, let alone with a roof

with a rifle and there are people out there that believe that was a conspiracy and there's

more people, I can almost not blame them because how do you not cover that roof?

That's number one, because it takes me to this weekend, how is it possible that any,

I don't care if it's a hotel?

How is it possible that anybody could get to where they got to with a long rifle in their hands?

I don't understand.

In my humblest of opinions, you know, they have advanced teams for all these things.

Do you know we're finding out they did not name this a major league security thingamabob

at this hotel?

What if he had a bomb?

What if he had a bomb?

What if there were three or four of them?

I'll just let you know, absolute ineptitude if you ask me, and by the way, I've been in

that hell in a few times, I've stayed there.

I don't know the exact setup and how it was, but I have to tell you where they are in

that big room, it's like a turkey shoot if this guy got through.

So I think whoever does the, they better get that freaking act together.

This should have been easy, but it's a hotel, it's a work, I don't give a crap.

Do you know who is in there, the president, the vice president, the speaker of the house?

One, two, three.

You know who's after that?

The president pro tem.

You know, that is grassly, I think he's 114 years old.

So that is the cabinet, and I think we're mostly there.

You know what you do at the hotel?

You have one of those thing of a bomb getting into the hotel.

You let the hotel guess, no, hey, we're just like, you know, you're going to come through

this, it's going to take you a couple of minutes, sorry, but this is why.

And then the next, you do another one up the steps, we're down the steps.

And then you do a third one.

Do you know why?

Because you got the president, vice president, and the speaker of the house there.

And all the, a lot of the cabinet, next.

All of these people now, all of a sudden calling for unity, can kiss mine, unity, who are

they trying to kid?

From top down, they don't believe in unity.

None of them.

Do you know, right after 9-11, you want to hear about unity, Bush called for unity.

Do you know Ted Kennedy was heard whispering to other senators?

We can't let him get popular over 9-11.

And I'm paraphrasing, we must do everything.

Ted Kennedy, there's not going to be any unity.

The president was already ripping on a reporter who asked a moronic question, whoever that woman

is on CBS 60 minutes.

And frankly, I almost can't blame him.

She picks out something from the manifesto about pedophiles and rape.

And she asked the president knowing that that's who is addressing.

So there's your reporter not giving a crap about unity.

The Democrats, they don't care about unity.

They had Biden's Justice Department go after Trump for four years.

I guess what the president's doing, going after them.

So just want to let you know they can take their unity and I'd love to see it, ain't going

to happen.

Ain't going to happen.

They'll still call Trump Hitler, fascist, racist, rapist, pedophile.

He's going to still rip them to shreds.

So just let me know.

By the way, this is not even being a cynic.

We just know.

I am thrilled that nobody got hurt, thrilled that nobody got hurt.

And I would suggest to whoever runs the security for the president get tough and put a couple

more layers on security.

Don't you think?

That's my take on the whole thing, I'm a Bob.

Nothing's going to change.

Nothing's going to change.

Unfortunately.

And now, the markets, that's up next, on this one only investor's edge.

You're listening to, hey, this program is going to be firm.

With Gary Kolbaum, he doesn't get better than this.

Work once again to investors Edge, politicians.

You suck, you suck, you suck, you stink, you stink, you're racist, you're Hitler, you're

a homophobia, this is not the other thing, oh, let's have unity.

All right, quite an interesting day.

May I state for the record?

A few things of note.

A day was an amazing day.

Intel gapped up, and you had these unbelievable sympathy moves on Intel, a KLA-C up 118-AMD,

ARM, quite insane, you also had the same time Nvidia break out of a six month trading

range on Friday.

Well a lot of the extended stuff had a rough day today.

A lot of the extended stuff had a rough day today, but as I scanned, it looks like a fly

on an elephant's butt.

Oh, we were up 40, so we pulled back 12.

That's what I saw a lot of.

But on top of that, I saw Nvidia up almost another nine bucks today, and that's the big

guy.

I saw a micron completely break out today, sand disk with the target raise up 80 bucks today,

even though earnings are in a couple of days.

Google into the NASDAQ was up 50, NASDAQ 100 was only up to.

The Dow was down 62, couldn't give a crap.

The market is in good stead, notwithstanding.

I've got 13 pages of earnings, and for the record, Wednesday after the close, Wednesday

after the close, and by the way, that is right after the Fed meets on Wednesday, and then

not going to do anything.

But you're ready for this Wednesday after the close, Meta, Microsoft, Qualcomm, Amazon

and Google.

I never call them out for that.

Four monster stocks in size, and Qualcomm, oh, and KLA, C and Ford, and eBay and Chipotle

and Cheesecake Factory, and Carvanna and C.H. Robinson and NetGear and O'Reilly Automotive

and Plexus, and, well, you get the point.

So big week, a lot of jello is going to be moving on the plate.

We'll be looking for things that are gapping up because of strong moves, accelerations,

and earnings and sales.

I've got Sam Meena, closed at 188, they beat by a mile, it's 206 in the aftermarket.

These are the things we're going to be looking for.

Simple as that, and let's hope there's a bunch.

On the other end, I have Celestica, closed at 422.

I got a 397 in the aftermarket, that's not good, but we don't own it.

And that's how we're going to roll this week.

And when I say there's a ton, I mean there's a ton.

And when I say you better stay on your game, Domino's Pizza today was down $32 to $336.

And is at a new yearly low, Domino's Pizza.

Five percent drop in earnings, three percent sales growth, which is a deceleration.

You know what they should have mentioned?

Oh, we're going to make some artificial intelligent pizza.

Then the stock would have been up 30.

That's a little sarcasm, but not really.

So even with the semis down, I thought it wasn't just fine day.

And when you have the biggest stock break out of a six month range in Nvidia, not so

sure bad things are going to happen.

But again, I got 13 pages of earnings.

I also have to mention, the big banks, I think they're setting up for hire.

The problem with saying that though, you got the Fed Wednesday.

You never know what the hell they're going to say.

That would change that playing field.

But I'm letting you know all things being equal, all things being equal.

They're setting up the banks for hire.

And that's not a bad thing.

I can promise you if banks are going higher and semi-conductors are in shape, terrific.

But then you have McDonald's.

Down nine bucks today near new yearly lows.

I didn't see no, any news on it.

So a lot of jello moving on the plate, stay tuned.

Will name names.

Oh, McDonald's got downgraded.

By the way, I still haven't been to a McDonald's and I've been a guest 25, 30 years.

And I used to live off McDonald's in college.

Chicken McNuggets.

That's kind of like not real 100% chicken.

But chicken McNuggets.

College.

Yeah.

There's still a war going on or there's not.

There's a ceasefire.

The latest our president is now changes mine for the 47th time, maybe 57 in that now.

It's all good.

We'll let you know.

That's the latest.

We'll let you know.

You know what we think complete miscalculation.

I don't think does any winners.

But complete miscalculation on Iran.

And how it plays out don't know oil prices rep another two bucks today.

Market doesn't give a crap.

For while it cared right now does not care.

Now war all that breaks out again.

Don't know.

We'll be.

Thing and everything.

Because if anything we know about this president this is not a put down.

He's very active.

And you just don't know what's next.

If I had his ear I would say less is more.

Do less say less.

Else in the market.

A crypto little bit better no biggie.

Software little bit better not thrilled.

Some I conduct this finally had a down day but way off the lows.

I think it was down the socks was down 200 and change finished down 105.

As I said KLA see finished only down 40.

I think it was down 70 something.

Tomorrow be another day.

Up next this that the other thing.

This is the one only investors edge.

And what once again to investors edge.

All right.

SpaceX.

Boy oh boy am I getting a lot of emails.

What do you think of SpaceX.

Do you think I should buy.

When it comes public.

Well I can only answer that question.

But when it comes public.

Why?

Because I do not know.

What it's coming public at.

And we're talking valuation.

In case you don't know SpaceX is also.

Starlink which is amazing.

Besides SpaceX.

There are talks.

Of 1.6 1.7 trillion dollars.

If this is just my opinion.

If it comes out at those levels.

I'd be careful.

But wait till I see the numbers.

Wait till I actually see the valuations.

I want to harken back.

To all the IPOs at least most of them.

Of the past year or two.

We put out a warning shot to you.

Not because we're geniuses.

But because we noticed.

All these initial public offerings were opening hot.

And selling off.

So we told you.

Be careful.

Because.

A stock called bullish.

Was a $37 IPO and they opened it at 115.

It's back to 39.

Hit a low with 29.

How about.

Time.

$27 deal opened at 45.

It's 22.

Hit a low 17.

I know you heard of Figma.

$33 deal.

You ready for this beauty?

They opened it over a hundred.

And on the second day hit a high of 140.

It's $17.

You remember that.

What was it?

Crypto currency.

The two twins.

Winkle Voss.

Those are the ones that got screwed out by Zuckerberg.

Well, they're billionaires based on crypto.

They did a $28 deal.

Got open at 46 bucks.

This is the first day at 32.

So we're going to lost your butt the same day.

It's four bucks.

Oh, and they fired a bunch of people.

How about.

Clarner.

$40 deal.

And they opened it at 56.

It's 14.

A stub hub.

23.5 deal.

Opened at 28.

It's seven and a quarter.

And I know you know what stub hub is.

You know, the people you get tickets from.

And you go to the venue with the supposed tickets.

And they tell you it's not real.

And stub hub never told you.

That happened to somebody I know.

How about white fiber.

17 to 40.

It's 16.

I think I'm going to do one more.

Because this one was highly touted.

Fermi.

AI focused infrastructure.

$21 deal.

Let's open it at 35.

It's five and a half.

We're talking some serious losses, kids.

And what you also need to know.

Very highly touted stuff.

In my world, very highly touted.

You had a own.

It's the shape of things to come.

And you got buried.

So a couple of them I just reported to you down 80%, 90%.

So we're going to be very careful about where SpaceX is one

called anthropic.

Now in the private market says $1 trillion.

$1 trillion.

So we're talking lofty levels here.

Careful.

You know what I got asked about big time in the last three days?

Marijuana.

Not about smoking it.

But by the way, you really go to Manhattan.

You don't even need to smoke it.

Just breathe the air and you get stoned.

Anyway, marijuana stocks.

Got a little jolt last week because it is infinite wisdom.

The president lowered the bar on how they looked at it or whatever.

You know, don't smoke cigarettes, but we good.

My thought process.

Jeremy Times in the last couple of years.

We've seen this where the government eased up on the marijuana.

And you got a jammed to the upside.

And then faded big time.

You know something like MSOS.

It's one of these ETS for cannabis.

60 down to five.

It was two.

So it's actually more than doubled from the lows.

How about being careful?

That's all.

We really helped you out with the marijuana stocks.

You really did.

Do you know Aurora cannabis, one of the highly touted ones?

Do you know it hit a high?

I'm not making this up at 1,250 bucks.

Back in, I think, 19 or 20.

It's three bucks.

Not kidding.

That's why we're always.

Always.

Always.

Talking to you about what can go wrong.

Right now, if you own ADP and paychecks, you get destroyed.

If you own Eli Lilly, you're getting hammered.

If you own the airlines in the cruise lines.

And a lot of medical issues, you're getting blasted.

Domino's pizza.

A lot of the consumer staples.

Blasted.

And of course, you know about software.

Blasted.

So we're going to continue going forward.

What to avoid?

You know what the latest one is, big time.

Netflix.

Stocks getting hammered.

If the rallying up because they're not buying some company.

Gap down on earnings.

And heading lower.

Netflix.

You already know about Adobe.

And salesforce.com.

Microsoft.

Oracle.

SAP.

Workday.

HubSpot.

Intuit.

ZScale.

CrowdStrike.

And not as bad anymore.

Spotify.

One of the hottest stocks in the market.

Top down at 780.

495.

So we're going to stay on top of you.

Avoid this.

This is what's leading.

And always the proviso which your money you decide.

Up next.

Uh, whatever else.

This is the one only investors edge.

You're listening to.

What are you waiting for?

One, two, ready, go.

In investors edge.

With Gary Culpa.

Speaking of Elon Musk.

I just have to let you know.

Listen carefully.

So Tesla.

A high was 500 back in December.

Hit a low of 337.

It's 378 right now.

I got to read something to you.

And I checked it out.

It's correct.

But the market doesn't care yet.

So Tesla.

It's being reported by the analysts.

The analysts.

When they came out with earnings.

Tesla had a clean beat.

The estimates.

Of the 941 million of operating income.

860 million were from one time items.

Tariff rebates.

War and tea reversals.

And tax credit sales.

This would mean the company was barely profitable.

From their core operations.

Yet they reported.

941 million.

And the analysts were good with it.

The stock did not act well on the earnings reports.

Just letting you know.

Of course, the big story with Tesla is what they are going to do going forward.

What they're going to do.

The robot, by the way, I saw their robot.

I was at the Baron Conference in New York City in November.

It's pretty cool.

The robot, this and the robot, that.

I saw that they had this joby aviation.

By the way, here's a little lesson.

Joby aviation is going to have these aircrafts.

They're like air taxis.

And it's been very hyped and touted.

It's gone from 21 down to 9.

And by the way, that's not a rip on them.

I'm just letting you know.

I'm going to do a little study on whether I think these air taxis can proliferate.

Because I don't know how you roll them out so easy considering you have air traffic.

Regular air traffic, we'll see.

But back on Tesla.

Some tidbits.

We're now 39 trillion of debt.

We hit that.

And I do want to let you know that under President Trump in the last year,

$2.6 trillion of added debt, a record.

Very under-reported.

I do want to let you know the budget deficit as percentage of GDP.

In the 2000s was 2.3%.

In the 2010s, it's 4.8%.

In the 20s, it's 8.3%.

And you want to know why I can't stand any of them.

That would be your reasoning.

I can't even begin to tell you how upset I am.

And you know why nobody goes after each other.

The Republicans go after Democrats, Democrats go after Republicans on the debt right.

You do know why, right?

Because they're all freaking guilty.

Just remember, they hate us.

We're just marks.

We're nobody's.

39 trillion of debt.

Just letting you know.

I'm just running through this.

The numbers each year.

And I have to tell you, wow.

tidbits.

In August of 20,

Exxon was removed from the Dow.

Salesforce.com was added.

Exxon is up 400%.

Salesforce.com is down 39%.

What a great move by the people at Dow.

By the way, I'm pretty darn sure.

Nike.

I gather they got to replace it soon.

I'm trying to think if they're going to replace it with another retailer.

I actually have no idea.

Costco.

I would not be surprised if Nike was taken out and Costco was put in.

Making it even more skewed because Costco is a thousand dollar price.

And it is that would make it the highest price name in the Dow.

Yeah, that would be the retailer.

It wouldn't be target because of all their problems,

which are trying to get resolved.

I would say Costco.

We'll see.

And that's a little bit of your tidbits.

As we have another eventful weekend.

And we just hope that whoever is thinking about doing what.

This schmucked it over the weekend is thinking twice.

Because he is never going to see the light of day.

I'm just ripping paper, by the way, ever again.

And as much as we can't stand any of them.

We don't want any of them harmed.

Ever.

And as I said, there's not going to be any unity.

It's not in them.

Unfortunately.

Tomorrow, ready for this?

Coke, Corning, Franklin Resources, GM, Hilton, JetBlue,

Invesco, Kimberly Clark, PACR, Sherwin Williams in the Dow,

S&P Global, Spotify, UPS,

Booking Holdings, F5 Networks, Landstar.

This is just tomorrow.

Robin Hood, Seagate, Starbucks.

I keep them in business.

TeraDine, T-Mobile, Visa in the Dow,

Waste Management, they get my garbage.

Werner Enterprises, that's just tomorrow.

So be ready.

We're ready.

We are looking forward to as the big five,

but something like a sand disk that is between sand disk

and some of these others.

The acceleration of their earnings and sales is Bafo.

If that's a word, absolute Bafo.

We think Google is set up.

Meta set up, Amazon set up.

We just have no idea what the market's going to do with them

into earnings reports.

And some of them are sandbagging, meaning that guidance is very low

so they can beat the number.

Which is usually good news.

You all have a great evening.

Drive carefully when you get home due like we do.

Make sure you hug your family, hug your children.

You'll feel better.

You'll feel better.

Promise they will be well until tomorrow.

Good night.
