and the reverend william sloan coffin was the co-chair with coretta scott king of the mobilization demonstration. the first mobilization was largely a project of a.j. musty who was a former protestant minister who called for a just and warless society. if you ask anyone who went to either or both october 15 and november 15, they would just say about both of them, we were calling for an end to the war in vietnam and ignored the differences. with one exception, the mostly men of the new mobe were considerably older than the mostly men of the moratorium. the reason it was called the new mobe in 1969 was to distinguish itself from the old mobe of 1966 by becoming broader and less radical and a coalition of 60 or more organizations. we pledged ourselves to legal and nonviolent tactics. at the time, the november 15th demonstration was called the largest peace march in the history of our nation. twice the size of the moratorium which had a police count of 250,000. the much younger people today who are appealing for ways to reduce the climate crisis outnumber us many times over. thank you to emails, soc

>> i'm going to start off, scott, with a stock really surprising me. williame is this. back in april this is $180 stock. in the last month it's been between 150 and 165. today stock a little over 154. and we had some very, very interesting buyers 5,000. this is what makes it more unusual. they're going out to november, scott, buying the november 170 calls, stock at 154.5 theres with 170 calls. selling the downside put somebody very bullish saying if it's don the downside i'm happy owning i think it's going up. mattel, the next one what makes this interesting, this is a stock came out with earnings yet we have the follow-up with options they're buying 8,000 of next week's expiring the august 6th expiring 21 calls. going between 45 cents and 65 cents. very expensive because the stock traded just above 21, about 21.25 at the time of the buying. look for a bit more upside there. the transformation is in place the growth is there for martell. the yoe is very, very bullish about things so this is very interesting to see the two call buys today one going out to novem

scott if the market is up 10%? i learned the business 31 years ago when i worked at the william o'neill firm and investor business daily the way to frame that if he wants to call it a narrative is rotation alleadership. the best secular bull markets show this consistent rotation of leadership someone else was talking about, it's nearly impossible to make short-term calls i'm not familiar with his process or discipline but it's difficult to look back even at 2018 -- you have to remember 2018 was the tariff tantrum and the fed was going the opposite direction raising rates. for all intents and purposes this is the short-term call for hedge funds, not for mom and pop in the part of minnesota where i grew up. this is the shorter term momentum money i think the bottom line is this, scott, the cyclical rebound we have seen in stocks, part of a bigger secular 20 to 25-year bull market which we've been calling for for a long time is in the transition of two things. number one it's more fundamental and earnings driven. that's very apparent i think the panel agrees they talked about that number two, i heard a lot of talk about t
