SPEAKER 03 :
And welcome to the Happy Monday edition of the Best Stocks Now show with professional money manager Bill Gunderson of Gunderson Capital Management and also GCG Advisors in Charlotte, North Carolina, which we’ll be talking about in the coming weeks. And I’m here with Barry Kite, our chartered financial analyst. And the markets are reacting to every word coming out of the Middle East, particularly from a little country named Iran. And right now the Dow is actually up five points despite the news of the weekend. The Dow is at 49,452. Meanwhile, the NASDAQ is down 61 points. It’s come back a little bit. It was down about 100 points, now down just 62. And I wouldn’t be surprised to see it go positive during the day. I think good news is coming. The NASDAQ is at 24,401. The S&P 500, believe it or not, all-time high on Friday. Yes, all-time high. After everybody was telling you to sell your stocks. No, I wasn’t. Not here at Gunnarsson Capital Management. The S&P 500 is down 7 to 7,118. And all-important oil, which really is the center of the universe right now. We have oil. Actually, it’s clear down to $85 per barrel. It’s come down a lot from its side. Now it’s up, okay, a little bit. But still, it is at $85.93, which is tolerable. So welcome to today’s Best Stocks Now show with professional money manager Bill Gunderson, 25 years behind the microphone, 25 years behind the computer. Looking at hundreds and hundreds of charts a day, looking for those chosen few that sometimes can be like a needle in a haystack, but they’re out there. You just have to dig. You just have to work a little bit harder than the next guy, and you will find them, and you will be able to put together a collection of what I consider to be the best stocks now, no matter what the genre, no matter what the sector, no matter what the size. They come from every walks of life, and that is the quest that I am on on a daily basis that makes my job so fun and so interesting and keeps me totally alive, my mind alive, my everything just alive in this quest that I enjoy. So much. Okay, we’ve got to go back.
SPEAKER 04 :
And the pace moves faster nowadays too, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
It seems like one minute J.D. Vance is coming home, the next minute he’s flying to Pakistan. These guys that worked for the government, man, it’s like, wow, how do you keep up with it all? And we’re caught in the middle reporting on it and seeing the effects and impact that it has on the market. Now let’s go back to where we left off on Friday. The Dow was up 1.77% on Friday. The NASDAQ was up 1.28%. And we saw a new all-time high in the S&P 500 after most of the pundits on Seeking Alpha and in the financial media were telling you it’s over. It’s time to panic. It’s time to sell. Oil was down 10.6% on Friday. Who knows where oil is going to end up? I don’t like the fundamentals of oil right now. And it’s trading on that news coming out of Iran. I’m guessing that, you know, there’s going to be a chance. Have we sold any of our? No, we haven’t sold any of our oil. Yeah, maybe we did. I think I sold one. We still got LNG. Yeah, we still got it. And so, you know what? I’m just, look, right now. One day they’re down 7%, the next day they’re up 7%. So we’ll just keep them around for a while. What else happened on Friday? Not much else. We ended on a very positive note. I wrote my newsletter over the weekend. I updated the earnings picture. And as I’ve said many times before, earnings, earnings, earnings in the stock market and location, location, location in the real estate market. So as a professional money manager in the stock market, I am seeking out money. Earnings, earnings, earnings. Now, Vance is expected. You know, J.D. Vance, I don’t know if he’s the heir to the throne or the chosen one at some point in time, or whether it’s Rubio. I know it’s not Kristi Noem anymore and a few others have fallen by the wayside along the way. Or will it be Gavin Newsom from California? We just don’t know. We have to manage markets. We have to navigate in the market, no matter what the environment is out there. And you can cut out all the noise and all of the confusion and look to earnings, which we’re going to do here in the first half of the show. In the meantime, J.D. Vance, our vice president from Ohio, is expected to travel to Pakistan this week for a new round. of U.S.-Iran talks aimed at extending a fragile ceasefire and easing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. I guess there was a few ships that were blown up over the weekend, Barry. Other than that, it was a pretty normal weekend, right?
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, you know, I think we boarded apparently an Iranian ship or at least an Iranian-affiliated ship, so…
SPEAKER 03 :
uh you know not not slow news week weekend right as it’s been the last handful of weekends not really but and i’m not going to go water skiing anytime soon through the straits of hormuz until things settle down a little bit now here is the caveat to all of this okay here is that ray of sunshine Here is that warmth coming from Wall Street that so many people fail to see as they dwell on the dark side of the street. You know, darkness and bad news and fear, we’re naturally attracted to that, I believe, as human beings, some more than others. And I think there’s a lot of people that would like to pull us into that dark space with them, right? Like that crab in the crab pot who reaches up one last time with his claw in the boiling water to pull you inside the boiling water with him and experience the misery and pain that he is going through. And no, you have to resist that. And the sunny side of the street resides the optimist. And the people that are able to cut the emotion, look through the emotion, not be enticed in by the negative headlines and the negativity and the darkness and the doomsdayers and the doomsayers and say, The earnings picture has never been better, and this is being supported. It’s always nice when a guy like me, who is really a literal complete unknown on Wall Street, much like Bob Dylan was when he showed up in New York City with his guitar and his pen to start writing songs. I’m pretty much a complete unknown, but when a J.P. Morgan agrees with what I’ve been saying and many others, that gives me confidence and it boosts my steadiness and resolve that it’s the earnings picture that dwarfs everything else. J.P. Morgan says that global earnings resilience supports equities despite geopolitical risk. Now, where have you heard that before, Barry?
SPEAKER 04 :
Well, earnings are your North Star. I mean, that’s what you’re looking at. That’s what you’re gauging at all the time. And until we see something affected by all of the noise out there, until it comes into and affects earnings, then the picture remains kind of as you’ve seen it.
SPEAKER 03 :
The song remains the same as Led Zeppelin. Now, listen to this. This almost is like my exact words. being said by J.P. Morgan, not a complete unknown on Wall Street. Here, quote, global equities are heading into the Q1 earnings season with a stronger than expected backdrop. which I’ve been saying, even as markets grapple with geopolitical risk and stagflation concerns. Hello, there’s no stagflation out there. That means you’d have zero growth in the economy. We’re not there. Now, listen to this. And this is where I want to put boldface type on my words. Earnings expectations for 2026 continue to be revised higher than across major regions. How many times have I said that stocks follow earnings and earnings expectations? And with the backdrop of this geopolitical risk, the earnings picture is getting better by the day. Most people don’t see that because they refuse to walk across the street to the sunny side of the street. They refuse. remain in the cold and darkness you know wall street itself when you’re downtown manhattan with those towering buildings there’s not a lot of sunshine not a lot of sunshine problem maybe down here in south carolina uh where the sun shines every day mostly and maybe out in california where i grew up There’s a lot more sunshine than in the darkness of those Wall Street giant buildings. More on this earnings picture, which is quite vibrant right now. This is Bill Gunderson. We’ll be right back.
SPEAKER 07 :
I’ll be gone 500 miles when the day is done.
SPEAKER 03 :
And welcome back here to the second quarter of today’s Best Docs Now show, where unbelievably, it’s almost miraculous, really, that we’ve seen new all-time highs in the S&P 500 in the last few days. Considering where we were a few weeks ago, look where we are today. We’ve gone from worst week… The best week.
SPEAKER 04 :
I can’t believe it’s just been two weeks since the article you penned came out on the market calls. Today’s exactly two weeks. It seems a lot longer ago now.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, and let’s not forget that before I penned the article and it was published on Seeking Alpha, I let all our subscribers know way in advance of that with my daily market updates the previous week, okay, before it all started to happen and took off. And I also, you know, our listeners and our subscribers heard about my prognosis in the newsletter that weekend before the article came out.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, you’d certainly have been in the don’t panic camp during this uncertainty. But, yeah, the market’s up 7.62% since you wrote it, since it came out, I guess, on April 6th.
SPEAKER 03 :
What’s the NASDAQ? Why don’t you look at where the NASDAQ is? Okay, but you’ve got to give me credit. Go back about three days and look at where the NASDAQ was. The NASDAQ is up, I believe, 13% from that point in time. Our portfolios definitely lean more heavily towards the NASDAQ than they do the Dow and the S&P 500. Well, that’s where the growth’s been. Yeah, those are where the growth stocks are. This S&P 500 earnings season, which I’m going to pull up here, that’s a big part of my newsletter that I write every Saturday because really and truly my system, my strategy revolves around earnings, earnings, earnings. And not only earnings of individual stocks, but the individual stocks make up the whole. The individual stocks are part of that S&P 500, are part of that NASDAQ, are part of that Russell 2000, are part of that Dow. And collectively, I’ve never seen a run in earnings like this during my 25-year career. in this industry. And I just want to give you a few startling numbers here. As we are now, I think we’re, let’s see, earnings growth, yes, I think we’re about 15% into this current earnings season. And this week we’re going to have 93 S&P 500 companies are going to report this week, including seven Dow components. So this will be a very big week. And as we sit here today on this 20th day of April 2026, the estimates for Q1, which is being reported now, is for 13.2%. Barry, that’s double-digit growth in an economy that’s growing by single digits. 13.2% growth versus the same comparable quarter last year, which was also a terrific quarter. So the beat goes on here. I mean, it just keeps going up and up and up and up and up and up and up. And this will be the sixth straight quarter of double-digit year-over-year growth. That’s an incredible, incredible run. And the revenue growth, not the earnings growth, the revenue growth is expected to come in at 9.9%. Now that’s the good news. There’s a little bit of bad news here in all of this. That compelling buy opportunity, a lot of it has dissipated. But there’s still plenty of upside potential over the next 12 months. We got down to 19.8. We got down to 19.8. I think 19.77 on the forward PE of the S&P 500 two weeks ago when I was writing that article. Now we’re back to 21.29. But we’ve been as high as 23 recently. So the forward PE ratio of the S&P 500 has risen dramatically over the last two weeks. And it’s taken away a lot of that. Easy money. Barry, I might have to – can you take over for a few minutes? We had a windstorm last night, and I see my boat kind of floating around. I want to make sure it’s secured, okay?
SPEAKER 04 :
Go get a hold of that thing. In terms of earnings growth as well, you’ve seen a little bit of a concentrated – concentrated growth. I saw a stat where I believe over a third of the NASDAQ earnings growth will actually end up being NVIDIA and Micron. So if you If you look at it in terms of some concentration in those names, that’s where I think an active approach and also just having a mindset of individual stocks and stock picking this particular environment, it’s just such a more concentrated arena. In terms of the sectors, there’s only been a handful of things that have worked this year, particularly, as Bill’s mentioned, the DRAM or the memory area. And there’s only really two U.S.-based companies that are in that space, Micron being one of those. And then, of course, in the chip side of things, chip equipment, ASML, a lot of your chip names, whether it’s NVIDIA, Broadcom. AMD even has participated a little bit this year. And then, of course, you had the medals early in the year. So it will be interesting to see how things broaden out, if they do, in this particular earnings season. As Bill mentioned, if you look in the newsletter, he keeps track of the earnings. scorecard each week in terms of earnings and so as we get more and more data as we get further and further down the down the earning spectrum I know we’ll get, I believe, a bunch next week, this week. I know we get Tesla is a big name that we’ll have. I don’t know if they report this afternoon. I know it’s going to be this week. That’ll be an interesting name. But other sides of this equation, of course, has been the PE ratio, which got down to, let’s call it just around 19, which we hadn’t seen in a while, which was another premise for Bill’s call to go ahead and kind of sounding the all-clear spell about two weeks ago here now. So it’s been an interesting run. Of course, not out of the woods yet. We’ve got delegation going uh… to uh… to pakistan to kind of uh… negotiate uh… i guess some more with the iranians who were known as tough negotiators so we’ll see uh… how things uh… shake out there as we continue to kind of keep our eyes on the geopolitical news even more than we do uh… on the uh… on the economic news but and we won’t get caught too too much into that uh… cloud cover bill will keep us keep us guided on earnings but uh… We’ll be right back. Bill, get a hold of that boat and the wind that we’ve had here in Charleston, and we’ll be back for the second half of the Best Docs Now show.
SPEAKER 09 :
And the boys upstairs just don’t understand anymore. Well, the top brass don’t like him talking so much, and he won’t play what they say to play.
SPEAKER 03 :
This is Bill Gunderson. Thank you for tuning in to today’s Best Stocks Now, Best Inverse Funds Now show. I put several hours of research in during the wee hours of the morning each day to bring you the very best cutting-edge stories that I can. To get two free weeks of my newsletter, go to GundersonCapital.com. To talk to us about our fee-based only money management services, call us at 855-611-BEST. Now, back to the second half of the show. And welcome back here to the second half of today’s Best Stocks Now. So, well, the boat’s secured. One of the ropes did come loose. You know, hey, the force of Mother Nature is something to behold. We have very strong tides here on the Charleston Harbor. We go from maybe 10 feet probably a day in the height of the tide. uh from you know the boat will be sitting way up in the water uh and then it’s the dock and then it’s 10 feet lower by the time we hit low tide and when that tide is coming in or coming out it’s difficult to parallel park a boat you know barry with that kind of and then you add a little bit of wind throw in some wind we’ve we’ve had some serious wind over the last few days yeah where’d that come from I picked a bad day to… I put my boat in the water about four or five days ago and been taking some little spins in it to get it ready for fishing season. And it’s not good. It’s good to put it away. I lift it up. I have a lift that lifts it out of the water and secures it. But I was busy over the weekend.
SPEAKER 04 :
And if we were going to low tide, the boat would have just kind of gone on out. If it was high tide, it might have floated down a little ways and it may have came back to you in a handful of hours.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, it wouldn’t have been pretty. And, you know, as I slept through the night, I guess it got pretty windy and one of those ropes came loose. If the other one would have came loose, one of the ropes actually broke. If the other one would have broken, that thing would be in the Atlantic Ocean. At least, where’s the island where the Civil War started? Fort Sumter. Fort Sumter, yes. Fisherman’s boat washes up. Fisherman not in it. Where did he go?
SPEAKER 04 :
That would have started a bit of a search and rescue around here.
SPEAKER 03 :
Massive search for a radio host missing on the Wando River. All right, let’s get back to business.
SPEAKER 04 :
Found that home in front of computer screen while looking at stocks.
SPEAKER 03 :
All right, let’s take a look. It’s a good thing my office, I’m on the first floor of my home, and it looks right on the Wando River. Here’s some more startling statistics, okay? I talked about this quarter. Earnings up 13.2%. Revenue up 9.9%. Now, that’s where we are right now. We could end this quarter a lot higher than that. This will be a very telling week as, you know, you got 88 S&P 500 stocks lined up on the runway to report. But get this. Next quarter, the estimates, the quarter that we’re now in and will be reported, you know, next quarter. We’re expecting 20% growth in earnings and 10% growth in revenue. But wait a minute. The quarter after that, Q3 2026, projected earnings growth of 22.2%. Now that’s for the whole S&P 500. That includes AT&T. That includes Kimberly-Clark. That includes other dog stocks that aren’t growing. That’s the average. Q4, 15.9% growth for all of 2026, which we’re now one month and 20 days into. Analysts are projecting earnings growth of 15.9% versus last year. Revenue growth of 7.7%. But wait, we’re still not done. Now we go ahead to 2027, and we’re looking for another 13% to 14% growth in 2027. So when you take those earnings projections, which right now we’re looking to 2027, which is $372 per share, which will be a record. Just to put that in perspective, during the COVID year of 2020, The S&P made $140 per share, Barry. In just one, two, three, four, five, six, seven years, we’re going to hit $372. Wow. And I’m the guy that said during the COVID year in March, this was a fantastic buying opportunity. How about that call? Earnings have gone from $140 that year to expected $372 next year.
SPEAKER 04 :
Would you point at the Boeing bottom? Yes, the Boeing bottom. I think Boeing hit right about $100, and you were like, there’s support level there.
SPEAKER 03 :
And the COVID epidemic kind of was… as bad as it could get, but there was a lot of light on the horizon with promising vaccines and other treatments. And it seemingly was the fact that the market had already priced in beyond the COVID, which, you know, that’s the other thing.
SPEAKER 04 :
The economy was going to be closed forever, basically.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, that’s the other thing about the market. When you’re in that dark tunnel, it’s like you’re never going to come out. COVID’s going to kill half the world. It’s Spanish flu, you know, part do. And going to kill billions of people around the world. And when the Trump tariffs came along one year ago, it was if, you know, this would end the economy and we’d be caught up in a tariff war that would bring the economy to its knees and there was no light. But my guiding light and that light at the end of the tunnel is looking at those earnings estimates on a weekly basis. And now we’ve got a raging war in Iran, one of the most dangerous countries in the entire world, one of the most devious, at least their leadership. I can’t talk for the people. I think a lot of people are under the thumb of the oppressive regimes that have oppressed them for so long. But I said in my article, if you just take $372 per share next year and slap a 20 multiple on that, that’s $7,400. And the S&P was at $6,300 at the time. From $6,300 to $7,412 months, that’s significant upside potential. Now, yes, a lot of that disappeared, dissipated here. You missed a really wonderful buying opportunity if you listen to the people on the other side of the street, the dark side of the street. But right now, the consensus S&P 500 target price, let’s see, is 8,300, 8,300 12 months from now. So, you know, even where we are today, we’re at 7,200, 7,100. To get to 8,300 is still significant upside potential. Now, obviously, you’ve got to go inside that S&P 500. And it doesn’t necessarily have to be contained to the S&P 500 or the NASDAQ. There are stocks that aren’t in the index that also qualify as best stocks now that have that kind of earnings growth that I’m looking for, that have that kind of track record and performance that I’m looking for. and have that kind of compelling valuation that I’m looking for. And, you know, as I get done with this show in about 18 minutes and check on my boat once again, and the crab traps, by the way, had a couple of stone crabs in them on Friday and some blue crabs on Saturday. Melted butter is on the menu. Anyway, the market continues to look good. But looking inside the market and finding those winners, it’s become a little bit harder task. But having said that, I found two or three last week, I believe.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and we talked about when you were wrangling the boat back in, I was talking about the fact that it’s still been a stock picker’s environment where I believe over a third of the NASDAQ earnings growth is actually tied to either Micron or NVIDIA.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yeah, there you go.
SPEAKER 04 :
Those are two places you’ll want to be.
SPEAKER 03 :
Really, the chip sector. And in fact, I’ll give you a startling statistic on the chip sector, which is lining the data centers. I mean, the data centers are lined with air conditioning units and chips. That’s just a fact of life, okay? And since I’ve been in the business, the chip sector… It’s been the best sector over the last several decades, last two or three decades. And then probably you get to the storage, the Western Digitals, the Seagates, the Microns, the SanDisk of the world. But as I looked at the chip sector over the weekend, the chart, number one, it’s breaking out to new all time highs. Why? It’s all about AI. AI needs lots and lots and lots of semiconductors. Number two, the chip sector is now up 28.9% year to date. That compares with the S&P 500, which is up 4.1% year to date. So that alpha is coming from the chip sector and also from the peripheral sectors of the chip sector, which is, again, data storage and fiber optics and networking. And it’s pretty crazy when all your performance is coming from just a few sectors, but that’s not unusual. And that’s why a broad, diversified portfolio in the world stock market of 5,000 stocks really makes no sense to me. Even an ETF on the S&P 500, I suppose, you know, but I would rather cherry pick and own the individual stocks because that’s a much more manageable and containable portfolio for me to watch on a daily basis. We’ll be right back.
SPEAKER 08 :
Go where you want to go, do what you want to do, and win whoever you want to be. Go where you want to go, do what you want to do.
SPEAKER 03 :
And welcome back to the final segment of today’s Best Stocks Now show. We’re going to get into a few individual stocks. I don’t know if you’ve heard, Barry, do we have Minnesota nailed down? It would be four weeks from today that we’ll be flying out there.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, I think we’ve got the time frame set, just trying to nail down the actual location. but I think the dates are going to be around, I believe it’s going to be that Tuesday, the 19th, 20th, and 21st, so somewhere in that range, but it’s definitely that week.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, and look, the appointments are going to fill up, the one-hour appointments. I think we’re going to be in the Edina area somewhere.
SPEAKER 04 :
And I think Edie said we’re going to need three days, so that’ll be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, I believe.
SPEAKER 03 :
Holy cow. No rest for the wicked. I better secure the boat before I go.
SPEAKER 04 :
Get a couple of new ropes.
SPEAKER 03 :
Holy cow. And I’m not going ice fishing. I don’t want to fall through the ice, guys. No, everybody tells me you’ve got to do it once in your life. All right. Anyway, to secure a spot, if we need three days, that means the demand to meet with us is quite heavy. You better call now to reserve a spot. I’ll stay four days if I need to. I like it there. Call Edie at 855-611-BEST, 855-611-BEST. She just does a marvelous job of putting these trips together. And we’re thinking that after that trip, we’re headed to Dallas. And then after that, Atlanta. And then Cleveland. And then hopefully Bloomfield Hills again. And then maybe Pittsburgh. So I’m looking forward to the trips to get out and meet the folks. On the ground. Okay, Tesla adds Dallas and Houston to the robo-taxi rollout. So next year when we’re in Houston, Barry, we can put you in a robo-taxi and make it to the hotel, okay? And when we’re in Dallas, we can put Edie and Jennifer in a robo-taxi without any drivers. Save a little money, you know, and hope that they get to the hotel, okay? In the meantime, Marvell Gaines, it’s having a good day. I wish I would have got back into Marvell. Marvell’s niche in the semiconductor sector is they’re very much linked to fiber optics, which are going nuts right now. SK Hynix, which is the other South Korean company besides Samsung that makes the memory chips, they have started mass production of high-capacity memory for NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin platforms. And there’s only a few ETFs that you can get exposure to those stocks. You can’t buy the individual stocks, at least not yet. SK Hynix is planning on having a US ADR, American Depository Receipt.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, you said that recently.
SPEAKER 03 :
but until then the ETFs are EWY and DRAM that will give you exposure to those two powerful stocks we have a stock that’s up fourteen point four percent today and it’s really kind of caught fire once again USA rare earth now this is in our emerging growth portfolio we’re hoping that someday They’ll be a major player in rare earth with that Texas mound where there’s thought to be lots of rare earth under the ground. They’re buying Brazil’s Cerro Verde in a $2.8 billion cash deal. And Sara Verde is a rare earths miner down in Brazil. So, you know, it looks like to me the two major players in this right now in the U.S. are USA Rare Earth, USAR, and, of course, MP, which is Mountain Pass out in the Nevada area. And, of course, this rare earth thing is still a very, very hot issue. It also relates to all of this AI and many other things in life that require, including electric vehicles, that require these rare earth minerals. Now, for us, our best performers today, Dell has really kind of got back into the groove.
SPEAKER 04 :
It’s been in the groove. Every time I look at it, it’s outperforming a lot of the holdings that we have.
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes, and MP has got its mojo back. I think it’s probably the number one rare earth stock in America. It doesn’t belong in a conservative portfolio. It doesn’t belong. This is a high-risk stock that belongs in an emerging growth portfolio because there are no sales. Well, there’s sales at MP, and I think maybe they’re profitable.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah. Remember, there’s charts taken off since they actually had some – When they started refining the minerals, they were pulling them out instead of sending it to China and getting them refined in China. But then they signed a deal. I think it was either GM or Ford.
SPEAKER 03 :
Apple made a big investment in them, and the U.S. government made a big investment in them. I’ll have to go back out there to Mountain Pass sometime. You need a Barstow Station McDonald’s. That is a crazy place. And if you like trains, oh, my gosh, that Barstow Hub. I think every train in America ends up in the Barstow Hub. That’s one of the biggest rail yards in America. It’s really quite something. You just don’t want to go in August when that temperature there in Baker, a little town of Baker, they’ve got about a 30-foot thermometer. Thermometer. It’ll be 112 in the desert flora. You know, that has something to do with creating the rare earths, though. It really does. Sometimes that heat and that intense pressure can be a refining process. The same is true of diamonds.
SPEAKER 04 :
Yeah, and it seems like it’s on the extreme because obviously you’ve got, in terms of Greenland and other places, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 04 :
Siberia is a rich, kind of a rich place for that. Ukraine as well. So I guess maybe it’s extreme temperatures on one way or the other, right?
SPEAKER 03 :
Yes.
SPEAKER 04 :
Compressed and pressure makes diamonds.
SPEAKER 03 :
People are like that too. If you just have a la-di-da day every day of your life, you don’t really grow. And if you experience extreme pressure and then extreme happiness and joy, you grow from that. And obviously you learn to seek out that which will bring joy. There’s my little philosophy on life for the day. ANET’s having a good day. Let’s see, Celestica. And, of course, the natural gas stocks. Okay, we’re out of time. This has been a lot of fun. I think we’ll come back and do this again tomorrow at this same time. Hopefully, I won’t have to run out to the dock to secure my boat during the show. I bet you’ve never heard that on a live radio show before. In the meantime, thanks for Barry filling in there while I was one of my junior analysts here, and he’s going to learn how to secure a boat with me here in a minute. There are all kinds of things from me as it relates to the industry and life, etc. Minnesota, again, that’s going to fill up. If she’s asking for three days, that means 30 appointments in those three days. Yep. 855-611-BEST, 855-611-BEST. And, of course, a workshop on Tuesday night that hopefully will be a national broadcast live from Bill Gunderson. And in the meantime, you don’t have to be in Minnesota to meet with us. You can meet with us any time. Call us at 855-611-BEST. Get the newsletter for free for four weeks and everything that comes with it. GundersenCapital.com. Have a great day, everybody.
