5:29 am
morning stories. contessa brewer is back with those. top that amc move what can you out top that? >> reporter: are you ready engine number one had a bid to shuffle up exxonmobil's board in a big way. we have preliminary results from the shareholder meeting. the firm has claimed a third seat on the board. en engine held two seats last week and the third seat was too close to call. the firm is targeting exxon to push its role in the carbon zero role in the world. the fbi is now investigating the ransomware attack on the ferry systems serving martha's vineyard in nantucket. it is reviewing the breach which took down the authority's web site we are told not the vessel's gps

5:31 am
terrifying the fact that people -- millions ridership is down. it is coming back. that is terrifying >> reporter: it is you know, i cover insurance and cyber insurance is a real thing and small companies are having to consider it because of the massive spike in ransomware that happened throughout the pandemic it is remarkable and the potential damage here. we saw what happens when the power grid went down in texas this year because of the winter storms that can happen as the result of the cyber attack as well it is attention getting and alarming >> it is going after the steam ship ferry. if you happen to make it to martha's vineyard? giordano's check it out a clam bar contessa brewer, nobody cares. thank you very much. that's it. you mentioned wex and get a 0%
5:32 am
discount contessa, thank you very much. >> thanks, brian it is not just clams 2021 is the year of digging other stuff out of the ground. oil, gold, raring earths prices are surging copper is the same copper up 30% this year. all of the electricity and grid we are talking about is expensive. all of the metals are rocking. mxe, metal etf is up 40% this year how long longer can this commodity boom continue? let's talk about this with michael windmeer michael, welcome everybody says it is the reopen trade. listen, many parts of the economy never -- not shutdown, never slowed down. some of them took a brief pause. this is more than the reopen trade. this is china. this is low rates.
5:33 am
this is controlled supply. what exactly are the key reasons why prices for nearly everything in the ground are going up >> it has been a long time coming the point you made initially that this was a different position because we never lowered our price forecast during the first wave of the pan pandemic that is really where we are right now. we get a lot of fiscal and monetary stimulus in china and europe a lot of that stimulus is geared toward parts of the economy that actually require commodities like metals. that already helps going forward, we do get a lot of green spending. that has been coming for years we knew that would set the stage. you can justify higher demand
5:34 am
for copper over the coming years. all along, the miners tightened their belt the inflation debt is simple we don't invest and spend. >> you know, our rbi coming up, mike, is on driving trends in the united states. i was poring through the data and it has to do with the mapping. every traffic, every city in the world according to tom-tom, is in china how big of a boom is china starting to experience or still experiencing is this all them just buying up pretty much all of the world's precious metals because it takes a lot of copper to build big buildings in cities? >> i think china was the main driver in 2020 i think this year it will be a
5:35 am
little bit more balanced between china. the point you are making is important. if you want to put more of the expenses on the road, china is starting to do that. if you want to tighten your belt, china has a little bit to go there is a lot of pent-up demand that should come through over the coming years that is the point i was trying to make. we have scope for higher demand because we are decarbonizing if you take fossil fuels out, you need to put something in a lot of the mining economies. >> it is the weird irony to replace stuff you dig out of the ground, oil, you have to replace it with other things you dig out of the ground like rare
5:36 am
earths and copper for the electric wires to run the electric cars. that said, is there any place to still make money right now, michael, in commodities? or is everything fairly priced or over priced >> i will give you one sector that has a lot of off there is set. on the other hand, we don't have the investment particularly in china. you have a real pressure point where the market is flipping into a deficit some of the companies out there say they need $26,000 to justify investment in new capacity we are not there yet you don't just see companies hit 2,600. you need to hit that and do above that to incentivize.
5:37 am
we say potentially go up to 3,500 on the back of spending. climate change technology is expensive. that is what we see in metals like aluminum. prices go up to produce to eliminate emissions. >> i like. it aluminum. maybe it is the new dpold. m gold michael widmer, thank you very much >> thank you you got a new lamborghini. did you buy gamestop at the bottom no, aluminum. coming up, more on the other meme stock amc. it is a-ok with traders. up 20% this morning. amc is now worth more than delta airlines or best buy as we head to break, other big

5:41 am
welcome back call it the stock of the week or the stock of the quarter or year don't call it a meme stock amc entertainment coming off the wildest trading days we have seen in a while. amc nearly doubled yesterday stock rose 95% it had volatility, trading
5:42 am
halts. closing in on not figquite an all-time high. by the way, shares now up 20% right now. that's another gain in the pre-market it is probably worth $35 billion. that means amc is worth more than delta airlines or best buy or state street bank amc is up 3,100% this year this year. joining us now is bny's peter. peter, is this just a meme stock that will come back down to earth? i understand we want to go to the movies and see "fast & furious 9," but is there anything real to this story?
5:43 am
>> absolutely. i think we cannot state it as a meme stock any longer. when i looked at all this in january, we had to identify what constitutes a meme stock the criteria we came up with was about 10% a share as sales begin. did it have the year-to-date high at the end of january has it moved declining through the spring and summer of 2021 as the recovery trade has gone under way. until two trading sessions started, we saw those names like gamestop and blackberry and bed, bath & beyond. amc is behaving in a way unlike meme stocks were working back in january during the height of the gamestop frenzy. something different is happening now with amc >> agreed.
5:44 am
let's move beyond covid. let's go pre-covid forget the pandemic. we will jump back in time to 2018 and 2019. before we heard about covid or lockdowns. peter, the idea is everybody buying 90-inch flat panels at best buy and building home theaters and that going to the movies was a thing of the past that was before covid. i get the whole let's go back out and go to the movies pause you want something to do this is a company that was facing headwinds long before we had pandemics and lockdowns. >> indeed. let's compare the amc story to the other big cinema and regal groups none of the other cinema companies are seeing this acceleration if nothing else, i can see your points about the questions of if people still go to the movies.
5:45 am
the last movie i saw was "the iri irishman," but a scocese movie you see in the theater it is that position of the diagram where it is sobering because it was gamestop originally, but it was also a meme stock with the reopening trade. that is what is setting it apart. it is not a meme stock the classic meme stock of blackbl blackberry or whatever i take your point about the structure problems it has the special oomph you get from the crowd when they get a buzz about your name >> by the way, there are nine analysts that cover amc. the average target price is
5:46 am
$5.11. that said, peter, i don't want to know about amc. i want to identify the next meme stock. i can't because i can't own individual stocks. you get my point what makes a meme stock? why gamestop and amc and nokia and blackberry why did they get all of the attention? >> i think it is simply the price point. if the meme stock is only because it was discussed on wall street by bored people at home spending stimulus checks during lockdown, then tesla would be a meme stock back in january, tesla was trading $500 a share now it is $600 it is not a true meme stock. it has to have the price point of $10 a position.
5:47 am
amc was $2 per share gamestop was an outliar. it is trading at $20 a share all of the names blackberry and bed, bath & beyond and nokia that is all around the sweet spot to discover the next meme stock, it has to have the entry point where someone who is thinking this would be a waste of money what the hell? it's $2 a share. let's go for it. anyone who did that with amc in january, they are very happy today. >> yeah. by the way, i'm happy for these people you know, you place a bet. how much money you have. you iimply, peter, a lot of this is money people can afford to lose with the stimulus check or whatever it may be
5:48 am
a couple bucks i'll buy a couple shares if i lose it, i lose it. now they are sitting on $20,000 or $30,000 good for them. i want to know what the next one is going to e. >> wouldn't we all that is supposition on my part when i say amc is different from the rest of them think of 448 million shares of amc in existence and the turn of 420 million shares this is not buy and hold where people are anticipating that amc will ride the wave up as the company reopens in the next two years. much of the financing activity is coming from the commission free trading apps. >> peter, hold on. are you suggesting on this program that if something is free, people will use more of
5:49 am
it what >> far from it, brian. >> it's too early for the snark. peter madigan of bny mellon. great insight. analysts have almost nailed it they're only $1 only 1,400% off only off by 1,380% on amc. they're close. on deck, your morning rbi and the top three places in america where everybody is driving to right now and the places might surprise you. it ain't new york or l.a i'll tell you that. dow futures down a bit tcn is up a few hundred bucks. we're back after this. on.

5:52 am
your morning rbi hits on where we are hitting the road. we know car sales have boomed, but where are we going not back to the office, but back to nature. we know this by looking at apple data getting the most routing requests on apple maps based on driving, walking and transit based on their data, over the past two weeks, the biggest percentage jump in driving requests from apple maps, not the places we are going the most, but the percentage jumps are these three locations. the third biggest jump from january of 2020, pre-pandemic, to now, is camden county, most what you watch ozark?
5:53 am
the second requested in last year and a half is grand county, utah yeah mountain bike and arches national park. 500% jump in new map requests in the last year and a half the place with the most changes in apple map asks is also in utah garfield county. what the home of brice canyon national park. reminder, these are not the places with the most traffic they are the places with the biggest jump in people trying to use apple maps to figure out, i guess, where they are driving or search for a restaurant. kind of the irony. we want to get out into nature, but we're doing it by driving there. 2021 the year of the traffic jam. apparently in national parks
5:54 am
random, but interesting. stay safe out there. let's get to the broader markets. we have christina hooper with us christina, welcome to the program. i don't know if that made any sense. it is like trying to figure out what the fed going to do so let me ask. every day we have a fed speaker on the tape and it feels like they are starting to tell us -- tap us on the forehead we might move sooner than you think. what do you think? >> well, right now, what we are seeing is a casym forming with the gives and regional managers. they are starting to talk about tapers what we are hearing from the gives is more reluctance about
