Who's better? Nvidia Palantir. Nvidia, Nvidia AMD.
A
That was number one.
B
We're not Nvidia Google. There's nothing else to talk about. This is Jordan or LeBron.
A
You know what I'm gonna do because I want to do a case study on Google. I'm gonna do one next week.
B
Okay.
A
Because when I look at AI and shout out to Alicia Little, oh my gosh.
B
Amazing.
A
Oh my gosh. What she did on stage was. And if you were there and you witnessed that, I mean, absolutely incredible. I feel like they should be that stock price should be a lot higher than it is.
B
It is undervalued and underappreciated and in two years they are going to have something to say.
A
It's very interesting.
B
And.
A
And yeah, so I'm gonna do something with them. I'll Break it down. Yeah, yeah.
C
And you actually said it during your presentation yesterday as far as like the top, the, the tech stocks and you talked about Nvidia, you talked about Apple, you talked about three, top three, did a whole presentation on that. And that's something that, you know, definitely wanted to like I said, give you a flowers in real time because you know, I've been in finance for over 20 years as far as a financial advisor and then, you know, earning a leisure and a variety of other things. So you get to see a lot of different things in real time. But I personally never seen something like what you did yesterday as far as the crowd control, the showmanship. You know, you gotta realize you got 14, 000 people in that room standing on their feet. You know, people had their phones out, people writing notes and it was a very, you know, it's difficult to speak by yourself because there's no crutch to lean on. So it's like an interview is easier because you talk, the person talks. You talk, the person talks. You, you improvise, you tell a joke. There's a, there's a rhythm. It's like dancing. But when you, when you are by yourself, there's no backup. There's no, you know, let me get my thoughts together for a minute. Like if you don't know what you're saying or if you have a blackout moment or if you, you know, stumble on your words, you have to clean that up. There's no, there's nobody to come on stage and like, okay, let's get a five minute intermission break. Like, you know, I mean, so you did a variety of different things at one time. Being able to speak, educate, show slides. It's kind of like, you know, a triple threat in music. There's people like Beyonce or Chris Brown or Michael Jackson who can actually.
A
The big three.
B
Yeah, clip that up. Superstar, go ahead.
C
Oh yeah, no, no, but you know, when you, when you can dance, when you can sing, when you can perform, that's, that's difficult. So kudos to you. The wealth of information. The wealth of information alone was worth the price, price of admission. Just that, just that if you only went to one thing the whole entire weekend. But I thought it was real detailed about, you know, new on. You talked about chat gbt. That was one of the clips that we put out. Yeah, gbt. How to use chat GBT to actually you talked about artificial intelligence. So it was real new. It wasn't like just high level talk. It was very blueprint.
B
Yeah.
C
Nuanced. Blueprint on actual trading, investing, the whole. The whole gambit. So first and foremost, congratulations on. On a legendary performance, man. Thank you for that. I appreciate it.
A
Yes, sir.
B
Thank you. Magic is a tough actor. I can't lie. I was backstage, I'm like, magic and y' all cooking. So it was first time I was nervous. I was like, talk like, you good? I'm like, I don't know.
A
He.
B
He rocking this, but shout out to Red Panda. Thank you to y'.
C
All.
B
And then I think the energy that you feel from the crowd and what I was giving to them is just really an exchange of love. And I hope you guys can tell that I worked on this for six months, and the choir and just the density of. And kudos to Alicia Little. She was the inspiration. I had a little chat with her, was like, okay, let me share some of my prompts. Like, it was a real community experience, but I hope y' all can feel I gave my all on that stage. For real.
A
Nah, it was incredible.
C
Like, I said, if. If Ian did a fire job, put fire in the chest, if he was actually there in person, you know, magical moment right after Magic, another magical moment. So I. With that being said, you know, the thing. Like I said, the thing about accelerated growth. If you actually listen to what Magic Johnson said, one of the key themes that he kept saying was proximity to people that's higher than him. Like, that was something that he. He was. He was very, very keen on. When he talked about the owner of the Lakers when he first came into the league and how Jerry Buss was a billionaire, he was a millionaire, and his teammates didn't want him to have a relationship with Jerry Bus. And he said, look, he's a billionaire. You're millionaires. I'm hanging out with the billionaire. And then. And then he talked about the Prince of Monaco when he was with the Dream Team. And, you know, he's like, look, I already know these guys. These guys are my friends. I'm trying to get to it. What you doing? And he spent three hours talking to the Prince of Monaco. He talked about the owner of Miami Heat.
A
Yep. Mickey Arison.
C
Mickey Arison. How he changed his life. Once again, another Dream Team story. He was in. He was on a yacht. The yacht broke down, and he brought another yacht. He said, whose yacht is this? Mine. Whose y'? All Is that? That's mine. He said, okay.
B
My Lord. What?
C
Yeah. So one of the things that he always kept the common theme was that he positioned himself in life with people. That was where he wanted to be right.
