this is a theme in braxton bragg's army.the days following the battle rancor ripples, confederate general forest flat out refuses to ever serve under bragg again. i think this is when he says he is going to punch him in the face if bragg ever talk to him again. james longstreet, says the situation in tennessee will be hopeless until davis replaces bragg. both the core commanders meet in secret writing a petition to jefferson davis asking that bragg be removed. and jefferson davis goes out there, he gets on a train from richmond to tennessee and the meeting that follows begins like a core part of the narrative of the army of tennessee's dysfunction. and davis gathers bragg and his subordinates and the headquarters and asks each officer to give their opinion of bragg's leadership while he was sitting there staring at them. the hr department, it is an hr fiasco. the meeting, as you might guess did not go in bragg's favor. every officer present told davis that he lacked the capacity to command the army of tennessee. there is wil

john pemberton was way worse than braxton back -- braxton bragg g. he needs a babysitter. he ended up going with pemberton until the fall of vicksburg at the fall of a vicksburg meant for more at that time because it allowed the unions to complete the anaconda plan, at least the mississippi river leg of it. so bragg was left to his own devices in middle tennessee. and so union general reinforcesi his army for six months. th clearing middle tennessee of substantial confederate president and the th m murfreesboro roadmap and my favoap the anaconda ha plan. if you everget a chance to , this is chaos in texas. and think this helps me. it is wonderful. so rose anz being reinforced and watches into his campaign which is going toear the federal army out of middle tennessee from murphreesboro down tothat tennessee-georgia border. row should get a lot more m credit for how brilliant a campaign he conducted. al two major positives for the united states. and you also have the repulsion of lee from pennsylvania. and the anaconda plan. i think neil is going to talk to us later tonight

braxton's in. so bragg takes command of the army of tennessee in. 1862, and from there he has to kind of form it into an army that will basically become the largest army in the western theater. bragg he had he had very little more than his relationship with jefferson davis to recommend him for this job, especially over other prominent confederate officers who were available for the post, including joseph johnston, who had been wounded at seven pines by the time and was available. he was waiting for reassignment to be designated to go back up to the majors. braggs in 1837, west point graduate, he graduated quite high in his class. that's why he goes into the artillery. he chooses his branch. he leaves the regular army. in 1856, telling secor tree of war jefferson davis that he could not see the use in chasing indians with six pounders. as he said, you could never catch ketchum. and it frustrated bragg. he he was considered a hero by many of his countrymen. there we have bragg and his planter days in

let's bring in carter braxton worth of worth charting. about 33-year lows relative to the dollar, and yet -- we'll see i chart in a second, but where there's been emerging strength is right at a former reference point. and my thinking is, improvement ahead. let's look at the charts there are three of them and they're identical so, here you have a chart with no annotations, no judgments, and of course, you see that spike, which is, of course, extreme weakness in 2022, that's in october, and then the strength and then we weakened all the way back to that weakness is, of course, up in the chart. and now if we put some lines on, you'll see that just of late, we got right to that october 2022 level, and have started to go down in the chart, which is strengthening in the yen if you want to call it a double top or not let's put some arrows in, you see it the lines draw themselves. it is like a pinball machine, hitting aoff the lines to the penny, to the penny. and further down on the chart, which is more strength, even to the 142, 143 level, we

do we have any new braxton brag fans? yes. not. we're all going to come out with unibrow tomorrow. i think that. you know, the war is a progression of things as as time goes from year to year and and the war evolvein different ways. 1863 is obvisly important in a lot ways, and that's justhat i've been thinking about is, you know, the military things tt happen that, you know, that coincide with the political and cial changes that are happening, the ievolving and, you knowthe unions penrate even more confederate territory capturing permanently holding it those those things going to be irreversible if th confederate stop it and they can't and don't and these that we've talked about the emergence sherman and grant to greater and greater positions anthe ability to influence things. all these things are building. so that's that's what i'm inking about. i think just quickly, sort of my main takeaway is the question my students always ask me in a civil and my civil war class, they say, why do you spend so much time talking to us about military issues, tactics battles, what goes on? what, 1

carter braxton worth is here there were so many particularly in retail., right >> bonanza let's get right to it. there are so many ways to interpret each but macy's of course, is the headline it was up 32% for the week? yeah stock was $73. it's $14 this is a gift if you're long to get out. let's look at ross ross just a textbook example of what a breakout is good relative strength, bullish price line correlation i think this goes plenty higher. close at 120, applied for almost $135 and then finally, gap hmm a 30% move almost to 32, identical to macy's where has macy's was impetuous, impulsive, rash, this is developmental. this bottomed in may i think it has all the elements of a proper bottom versus a knee jerk and i would be on the long side here. >> we have to do our jobs here, carter you did say to sell macy's ahead of earnings -- >> sell more. >> those who followed your advice, missed. >> sell now. this is not -- i mean, i would sell more, get more short. >> all right let's get the regionals here the kre up 9% this week, closed above the 200 day movin

carter braxton worth of worth charting. show of hands. who agrees with carter that it's a sell? apple is a sell right here right now? raise your hand, please. >> i think it can go to 162. >> all right, guy and tim. tim? >> look at the top. again, if i'm carter and i couldn't even walk half a foot step in his shoes, but 176, 177 was the top of the channel. i don't like the price action. more importantly i just don't like the need to jump into apple here, and based upon the trend, some of that guide, the consumer that's yet to weaken, i'm going to get apple lower. >> julie? >> yeah, i think it doesn't make sense to be adding aggressively. i think you can be a long-term holder on apple as a core holding but i agree they have near term head winds that are going to be difficult. we still don't know exactly what's going on in china for this business, and i think that's the key to understanding the longer term outlook. >> apple's up 37% year to date. apple shook off that post market sell-off yesterday. so i agree with julie. you don't have to be aggressively buying it, but you can hold

carter braxton worth of worth charting. we prompted carter to look at that spread since, that is the premise of the trade that tim and karen both have, in terms of being in target. karen, what are you thinking here? >> just in terms of that spread? >> yeah. >> i mean, we talked a lot about how walmart's business is different, where the grocery business -- they're really good at that, not a huge margin business, and for target, they have that business, it's smaller, but it's taking away -- the consumer changes are making lower margin because they're not buying as many as the sort of home goods and lifestyle and apparent and things like that. i've been wrong for awhile thinking, all right, this is about as low as target's going to go, but this divergence between the multiple of the two, i do think, is really, really stretched, and so that is a pairs trade i think is really interesting. >> and i'm not in that spread right now, i'm actually still long some walmart -- a lot less walmart and started to initiate a position in targ
