pretty well. so we're looking to 2025 to repeat on productivity and earnings from corporate america tie towards ai so that those are some of the big stories to look forward a lot of people are excited i know a lot excited about that. >> let's also talk about the cryptocurrency we also saw surge when it comes to that, i guess it might be too late for me to invest in bitcoin right now. rob, is that right? >> okay. no >> a lot. i'm not an expert on bitcoin or digital currencies, but there's got to rick adelman. he's talking about how this is the early innings and don't look at the price. look at the year. so last year we saw it a big threshold of 100,000 hit this year. the expectation is for 200,000 bitcoin with a pro-trump already trump. that's pro bitcoin deregulation kind of market. if you wanted to invest in it and i deal i put one to 5%. one percent on conservative. everyone's down some 5% of your aggressive.

you can allocate its bitcoin etf, just like with blackrock. its an exchange-traded fund has very low fees. you don't have to donate. you don't have to have the password. you don't have to spend it. you could just see it as an asset similar to gold. that's it doesn't make profits, but it is. it is currently an asset for sure. you got me convinced, ok? he didn't have to say much there with that. >> okay. let's talk about alcohol, not not a lot of the younger people are drinking alcohol anymore like they were about 20 years ago or so. >> yeah, and i pretty little too january december 31st. so now it's dry january. you the stocks that were alcohol related, like anheuser busch, recession proof not so much people under 35. only 62% drink. 22 you. 20 years ago, people under 35 72%. that's big drop of 10 percentage points. 2023 was the first plane ever in alcohol consumption. united states beer was down 4.4% consumption last year, wind down 8%

spirits down. 3.9%. so companies like the idea which owns johnnie walker and guinness their stock was down 13%. constellation brands. stock was down 7% and either bush was down. 22% so the younger generation of can't afford it or they think it's on the healthy baby. social media's influence them. but they're keeping us last night still a large percentage of our population. but january dry, january bad time for the stocks that they don't like seeing that consumption levels drop. >> well, in addition to that, we're talking about waymo and how a lot of people took autonomous rise this year last year. it's addictive. it's. >> fantastic. being uber that doesn't have a driver cause. it feels private. so waymo had big year last year. the dominator robo taxis. you saw companies gm, they dropped out of the race crews to burst, dropped out of the race. so

the waymo which is owned by google slash alphabet. they have a great driverless future. it's fine. got a lot of mainstream adoption last year. it's 123 billion dollar industry for ride sharing that's gonna grow into 42430 billion dollars by the year 2020 2032. so they have the market kind themselves kind of amazon's got a product names. that's a robo-taxi. and then testers got road tax and testers kind of obviously benefit from deregulation. but there. it could be doing it because clearly waymo's doing it. but this is big, big year for driverless technology. 150,000 rides a week and temperatures going al a 5 million total trips and robo taxis last year, expanding into tokyo and atlanta and austin this year. right now, they're just in phoenix have in la. but it's pretty cool living in that area because i

can tell my relatives like look what i did. and i got video and they're just it blows their mind and we get used to it. they're fun to see they're safe and they're doing a great job. yes, also influencers, rob. >> taken waymo. they were from out of the state. and so just he was amazing to them. but, you know, we stand and drive around every day in the city. >> let's talk about how the rich are getting richer and, you know, for the rest of us right next for the rest of us. he said it well, 500 of the richest people in the their average wealth went up about 15 trillion dollars last year, not the average, but that 1.5 trillion total. the total of the 500 richest people. the world collectively worth over 10 trillion dollars. so the rich are getting richer. and, you know, when stock patel the, you know, the rich or invest in the stock market can exposure in that area? so play max, out your 401 k this year and you 2 should get richer and over time. not guaranteed any given year, but over time,

it's done well for me. had some well for most americans. >> all right, rob, that was robbed the raw black show. you can find him on his handles twitter. it. thank you so much for joining us this morning. and we'll

found at a high risk were given portable ecg devices to monitor them their heart rhythm for multiple weeks. if successful researchers hope to expand the trial nationwide. dietitians say eliminating food groups like carbs and fat is a serious, dire restriction that's likely hard to keep in the long run instead of cutting foods out. they just recommend adding healthier foods to your diet. they also say to aim for a sustainable lifestyle change that will promote overall well-being. finally exercising, obviously great too. but going from a no exercise to daily workout routine is like going to fall through in the long run. experts recommend ditching the all or nothing mindset in taking a gradual approach. instead of stressing yourself out. on the business front, a looming tiktok ban could impact millions of small businesses that use the popular app. >> to talk to ben around only since 2016 small biz owners use the platform in a variety
