What I like to do when I see things like, say, PepsiCo, which is up on a not great number because it's actually got a very good cadence.
1:26or when I see something like a Palantir upgraded by Goldman. By the way, I'm going to try to put out a speculative list next week. I don't want to be speculative, but of ones that I think are speculative. So you probably want to hear that. They're ones that if I were in a hedge fund and I'm not in a hedge fund, I would probably buy. You want to stay tuned for monthly. But I just want to go over what I'm seeing and why it's been so hard. These are what are free to trade right now. In other words, I'm not frozen. Amazon, we obviously think Amazon's terrific and it's been moving up well. Apple has been, of course, owned, owned trade.
1:58Then I get the Bank of New York. And I'm going to say Bank of New York. People don't want other banks. Bank of New York is damn ridiculous. It is not a credit bank, but it's in every single ETF for the financial. And it's finally right. I've waited and waited and waited. So I'll probably buy some Bank of New York melon. Then we have Boeing. Boeing, I think that, by the way, they brought in Palantir, and they're doing a good job. I think the news in Boeing has been very, very negative, but the actual fundamentals have been coming around. So that's an interesting situation for me. Capital One, we have enough Capital One.
2:28Cardinal Health, we're doing fine. Costco reported very good numbers last night. Now, Costco is distorted by gasoline. They do sell cheaper gas than everybody else. But even if you strip out gasoline, you've got 8 % growth, and that's really terrific for me. DuPont, I feel no edge right now. DuPont don't want to do anything. Eaton, well, we know we're in data center. It's one of our data center proxies that also has aerospace. Then we get to FedEx. All right. Now, FedEx intrigues me. FedEx has been brought down in part because of UPS, in part because of gasoline, diesel, but it has a pass through.
3:00I think that FedEx, you'd be thinking about FedEx right now for holiday. That's what you do when you're in this month. And I think their holiday season is going to be excellent. So I put down, even though it's up 23 percent here, I say now I've got Bank of New York that I like. I've got Boeing and I've got FedEx that are free to trade. Goldman Sachs no longer free to trade, as we mentioned this morning. Look, it's come down tremendously, but that's because there's been no IPO to speak of, and there's been no M &A to speak of. But Goldman, when I worked there, had many different ways to make money.
3:33So the idea that they're not making money or making better than expected could be wrong. I think Goldman's very attractive, but our basis is, I don't want to ruin our basis. You know how much that matters to me, because that's about discipline.
