You're the gang leader's statements That's their story that pretty much the same they all say this woman Myra said that the operation You mean she got the kids and put them to work burglarizing cars?

We met the men in the special detail Which back stranded the sign for the stakeout that night? We briefed them on their duties and then we got Fred Milford and Vince Mahoney out of their cells To avoid any possible suspicion of the presence of a trap We had Milford's permission to use his car in the stakeout The car which he had said he had driven to the delivery meetings with the woman Myra at least a dozen times before We arrived at the stakeout area Shavis alley in East, Maine at 9 58 Meeting was scheduled for 1115 The moon was out, but the sky was overcast and it was a cold wind blowing from the east Hey, what time you got Sergeant? Hmm about 10. Why Milford's getting nervous. No, just wonder Are you cops gonna rig this thing in just a couple of minutes?  We'll do the rest. Yeah, I know but what do we say suppose?

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of Let's wait it out anyway Joe have blue coupe. They just turned in the alley. Let's go on run Ben What'd you get Steve here? He is just drove up in the coupe got out and called Milford Mahoney by the first names He's in on it. What about the girl? No sign kid was the only one in the car. All right Tell them in the stakeouts offered and I'd have them report back in we'll take the kid with us Okay, all right young fellow this way your cops think it don't ain't done nothing look sport We heard that from 54 different kids yesterday. We're tired of that line. Come on When we got back to the office we took the boy to the interrogation room and questioned him He gave his name as Matthew lighter age 21 He wouldn't break until Vince Mahoney definitely identified him as a member of his car burglary gang and the special favorite of the red-headed woman They called Myra Then lighter copped out and told Ben and I that he had talked with Myra as late as 10 o'clock tonight He told us that she had heard that the police had picked up some of the gang members And she asked lighter to drive down to the Chavez alley meeting place He was supposed to tell Milford and Mahoney that the weekly delivery date was off until further notice We questioned Matthew lighter for an hour and a half You told us a little while ago that you talked with this woman Myra late tonight. Yeah, where'd you talk to her at her home? They're home.  Nobody knows what she lives. I met her at a bar. Which bar? Julius I don't Santa Monica. How did she contact you called me at home. She's not such a bad day She treats you right sure. That's why you in jail Did you ever call her on the phone? I don't know her number none of the kids do She's smart. She taught me all I know about the racket. You'll have a rough time getting there. Maybe but we'll get her Ben and I left the office at 2 a.m. And went home to bed We reported in at 8 that morning to head back strand The three of us went down the street to Cocon's restaurant for a cup of coffee Nobody was in a good mood We had most or haul the small fry in the citywide burglary ring But it seemed we were still a long way from cracking the inner circle Lighter kid said that none of them knows where she lives what our phone number is nothing. That's a sugar Yeah, I think we still have a few angles to study on that score right now. I've got some more bad news for you What's that been through your mail this morning? No, that's yet. We haven't had a chance. I saw the overnight reports. There were 32 car burglaries last night 32 all the way from Wilmington to North Hollywood. How you figure it? Okay, this girl Myra must have an army of kids working for how much did they get it any idea rough estimate about $3,000 usual stuff people are foolish enough to leave in their cars Watches cameras furs expensive clothes I'm always the same and like the others If the car happens to have a rigid handle lock, they slip a piece of pipe over the handle for a lever and break it If that doesn't work, they pry open the wing window Some of the windows were smashed out sounds like an awful hurried you now Maybe this Myra wants a few big nights before she pedals the stuff and gets out if we're going to get her We can't waste time any suspects picked up last night skipper none Well, where did they hit most the car outside the pan Pacific the parking lot hockey game going on Must have been 4,000 cars for them to pick over they picked the best as usual. Oh, you better get on it There's one way to handle it. What's that? She works fast you work a little faster We got back to the office and we went over the reports one by one Then we called the young gang members to the interrogation room and question them separately and request them We got nowhere Many of them had met Myra on the street in a bar, but not one of them had any idea where she lived At least that's what they told us Ben had a hunch that Matthew lighter knew more than he was telling We had him brought to the interrogation room and all that afternoon until 10 o'clock that night With interruptions for his meal periods. We talked with lighter. He would admit nothing more than what he'd already told us Yeah, it's got me beat Joe. Yeah, let's check with that I'm Mike skipper in just went down the hall for a minute and right back See who detectors always handed Yeah for you Joe Thanks Well, yeah He does we'll be right over.

All right, everyone, welcome. We're doing a lower trunk rotation now in our handstand prep progressions. So why would I use this? I'd use this if I have some sort of shoulder mobility limitation that is asymmetrical or if it's really stubborn. So I had an anecdote. I had one guy who's both his shoulders stopped right about here when he tried to bring his arms all the way back and nothing I was doing was working except for this. This gave him probably 20 or 30 degrees of shoulder flexion. Why is that? Well, when I do this rotation, I kind of emphasize one side at a time. So for people who are particularly stiff, as long as you can get that nice rib cage exhaled position where you're feeling those outer lower abdominals, then you can really squeeze on one side at a time. The other scenario that I might use this is if you have some sort of asymmetry. So maybe my left shoulder doesn't go back, but my right one does. Then this way, I can take this rotation and I can say, which one feels good? Okay, try to make the bad side feel like the good side and let's walk through it. So first step is I gotta pick my feet up off the ground. I like to have something in between the knees to ensure that they kind of stay together. Otherwise, this rotation tends to occur at the hip joint instead of at the spine, which is what we're looking for. So from here, I have my little rib flare. I gotta get rid of that. So big sigh out. I'm gonna push my low back into the ground and I feel my outer lower abdominals turn on. From there, we're gonna make a T with our hands and you notice my palms are down. I start there. When I inhale, I'm gonna come out toward one side and I'm gonna ring my entire body out by turning my head the other way and looking at my palm. Okay, so this hand stays really firm. Both my shoulders stay in the ground. When this shoulder comes up, I've gone too far. Okay, so I wanna stop right before I hit that. Let's try to find the abs again, got them. Keep the shoulder down and we'll turn back the other way. I like to do this one really, really slowly. You can throw the breathing in like I was mentioning. Inhale when I come out. Exhale when I rotate back. The other way I like to do this is just exhale when I move and then when I get to the end, I take a breath. Generally, you can really feel some stuff moving around. Sometimes you feel a nice, nervy stretch in your arms like I feel right now. Okay, this one can be pretty killer right here. It can be even pretty killer right here in your hip flexors. That's okay here because they're supposed to hold your feet up. Remember the bolster to make sure your knees stay together. It could be a candle, that's fine. It could even be a small candle. And remember to ring your upper body out with your arms. That helps get that twist all the way up. And most importantly, don't let your whole body roll over. Don't try to be a hero here. Usually less is better as long as you're maintaining that exhaled position and those outer lower abdominals.


What's going on you guys? I'm back. As you can tell I've been gone for a while. I haven't posted a longer form video on this medium for a long time, okay? It's been a while, so I've been in a lot of places. So the first thing that I'm gonna tell you is where I've been and then I'm gonna talk about what you can expect on this channel and finally tell me how I can help you guys more. Like what are the things that you would like to see on this channel in the future? So where have I been? I have been in a lot of different places. I've been moving around. I'm here in Austin right now. I actually got a brand new place. I'm gonna be showing you more of this place. We got a lot of stuff here. It's a pretty cool area. And then also too, I've been on Instagram as well. I've made a lot of changes in these past few months, years really, and I really wanna share all the knowledge that I've gained with you guys. I've been coaching a lot of different people in different areas here. Maybe you've checked out my Instagram. Maybe you've seen the reels that I have there. Yes, Instagram is cool. It's pretty easy, but honestly, I've always had a special love for YouTube and I've always wanted to get back on here. And the reason why is because I have more of an opportunity to craft what I'm saying. If you watch quick reels, yeah, sure. It's easy and people have short attention spans and they click, but in reality, you're really getting the best stuff in longer form content, where I can really articulate what I'm saying. I can break it down. You can download the mindsets of the people here more easily if you're consistently watching them for longer periods of time. If you're scrolling on Instagram, it's like bing, bing, bing, bing, bing quick. In my opinion, it's not as good at teaching you things as YouTube and other longer form content. So that's what I'm gonna be focusing on more in the coming months. Now, what are you gonna see on this channel? Okay, so first of all, I'm gonna do more step-by-step demonstrations with me, my female friends, and my girlfriend. I'm also gonna talk about where are the best places to meet high quality women. This has consistently been one of the things that I work on with my clients a lot. Being able to find places where you can meet the kinds of women that you wanna meet. Okay, we're gonna talk about how to get a better dating profile, which is one of those ways, by the way, but not the main way. Lastly, you're also gonna talk about texting, moving forward in relationships, getting over women, mindsets that are really gonna help you be successful. Yes, this is a dating channel, but I'm also gonna be talking about things really to help you win at life as well, too. So I've learned a lot in the past few years, and I'm excited to share that with you, but if there's anything else that you want me to cover here that I haven't talked about or haven't mentioned, please put it in the comments section below. I'm gonna be reading these meticulously so I can help you guys better. Thank you so much for watching you guys, and good luck out there.


Welcome back to Writing Wednesdays, where I share content around helping you become a better writer and copywriter online. In today's video, you probably could have guessed it by the title, but we're going to talk about my current favorite social media platform by far, and that is Twitter. Now, if you're trying to build an audience and a full-time income through writing online, it doesn't get much better than Twitter right now. So in this video, you'll discover seven different ways with live examples of how you can make money online, writing on Twitter in 2021. So let's jump into the first way right now. So the first way to make money writing on Twitter is to use it to sell services.  And anyone who engages with your tweets, who might be a fit, you can start conversations and relationships and hopefully get clients through direct messages and direct outreach. So a good example of someone who does this, who uses Twitter to sell services, is a guy named Chase Diamond. And Chase runs an email marketing agency that's done over $50 million for their clients, and he uses Twitter, he's tweeting every day, he uses it to generate interest, get engagement, provide value, provide tips for email marketing for e-commerce brands, and I'm sure he's starting conversations and getting clients through direct messages and people who are seeing his tweets and wanting to learn more about how he can help them through his service. And I know Chase also sells digital products as well, so he's using Twitter as a way to generate interest and generate conversations for his agency services and his digital products. And that leads me to my second way, which is tiny digital products, using your writing on Twitter to sell tiny digital products. Now what is a tiny digital product? It is a digital product that is under $100 that takes you a few days to create and that can sell and be delivered on autopilot, meaning you don't have to do anything to sell the product and you don't have to do anything to deliver it. It's all automatic. So an example of someone who does this is a guy named Daniel Vasalo or Vasalo, I'm not really sure how you say his last name, but he sells a course on Amazon Web Services and also how to grow a Twitter following or how to grow a Twitter audience. So these are products that are anywhere from $30 to $60 and he has sold multiple six figures of these tiny digital products just through his Twitter following. So every day he is, he's writing new tweets, he's sharing value, he's sharing websites, he's sharing content and he's driving people back to his profile and when they look in his bio, they are seeing his products or the links to his products that they can buy there. The third way is if you're more technical, if you're selling a SaaS product, software as a service.  Twitter is a great place to do that. So a lot of founders on Twitter, they are using it to generate new customers and new sales for their SaaS. A few examples are Sahil, he's the owner and founder of Gumroad, which is how info product sellers and core sellers, they use Gumroad to sell their products. So he uses Twitter to get new customers and sales and users for Gumroad. There's people like the Pac Brothers who use Twitter to sell clean leads, which is, it helps agency owners find and get more leads for their agency. And there's people like, I just recently found this account called SaaS Wizard, he sells info products and he also uses Twitter to sell his SaaS products. So if you sell a SaaS product or you are looking to sell a SaaS product or you're doing it on behalf of clients, Twitter is a great way to get new users and customers for that SaaS product. The fourth way is through coaching. So if you sell any kind of coaching, whether one-on-one or group coaching, Twitter and writing on Twitter is a great way to get interest and get new clients for your coaching program. So there's a guy named Dan Go, he is in the fitness space, he does fitness coaching and he has a multi-seven figure company in the fitness coaching space and he uses Twitter to generate interest and get clients for his coaching business. So he's super active on Twitter, he's tweeting every day and he has links in his bio to book a call with him for his coaching program. And he uses this as a main source of leads and clients for his coaching business. So if you sell any kind of coaching and you're trying to build an audience and you're trying to gauge interest and get interest and get clients organically, Twitter is an amazing place to do that. The fifth way is through cohort based courses. So if you don't know what that is, I'm going to link to a video above or below here on my digital marketing trends video. It tells you exactly what a cohort based course is and why I believe it's going to be a massive trend this year. So if you are selling a cohort based course, Twitter is an amazing platform to build your audience and get new students for that course. So there's a couple guys that come to the top of my head that use Twitter pretty actively to sell cohort based courses. The first is a guy named David Perel. He has amazing content on writing and he has a program called right of passage multi seven figure company or program and he uses Twitter as his main way to generate interest, get people into his program and to relaunch it every, I think he does every quarter. He, he opens up enrollment for the program. So right of passage, David Perel, check them out. Also Tiago Forte has a program called building a second brain, which is a cohort based course. He uses Twitter to generate interest and build his audience and get people and students into that program as well. So if you sell any kind of cohort based course or just horses in general, then writing on Twitter is a great way to make money and generate sales for that. Number six is a paid email newsletter. Now all this is you have an email newsletter and then you also have a premium portion or premium content in your newsletter that you charge people either annually or monthly recurring to access. So there's a guy named Anthony Pompiliano. He sends out one free weekly newsletter and he also has a paid option where you can get five email newsletters for it's $50 or $100 a year. I can't remember what I paid, but he writes on Twitter to generate traffic to this newsletter and he's in the financial crypto Bitcoin space. So he has a huge audience on Twitter. He's writing every day. He's he's using Twitter to generate traffic and new users for his paid email newsletter. And on the back of that in the newsletter, he has offers to other products, other platforms, things that he's recommending, sponsorship deals and other products and services that either he has or his partners have. So he is using Twitter as a platform to generate massive interest for his main product, which is the paid email newsletter. And on the back of that, he has all these other products and services and partnership deals that he offers in the newsletter. So if you have a paid email newsletter, writing on Twitter is a great way to get new users for that. Now, the seventh way to make money writing on Twitter is something that you probably have never thought of. And I saw somebody recently actually doing this and talking about how he does this and that is ghostwriting tweets for other people and other brands or individuals. Now, there's a guy named JK Molina on Twitter. Go ahead and follow him. He talks about how he charges $2,000 a month to write four tweets per day for other accounts.  And he charges a $2,000 a month as a service to write these tweets for these accounts. And he has multiple different accounts now. I think he said he's over 10 K per month, just ghostwriting. And he lives in a third world country. And all he does is every day, he writes tweets for these different accounts, he helps them build their account, get new followers, get engagement, get sales for their products. And he offers that as a service. Now, the good thing about this is he's already very good at writing tweets on Twitter. And you can tell by just following his account. So now if he wants to sell his own products, which I know, I think he just started selling his own products, he can do that, right? He can sell his own info products. He can sell his own programs or courses or coaching, anything else on this list, he can choose to sell those because he already knows how to write on Twitter. So his journey is interesting because he started off ghostwriting. He started off offering a service and writing other people's tweets and growing their accounts. And now he's starting to grow his personal brand based on the results that he got for his other clients. So those were the seven different ways to make money writing on Twitter in 2021 and beyond. If you guys enjoyed this and got value out of this, give me a like and make sure you subscribe below. If you're not already, like I said, writing on Twitter is in my opinion, the best way right now to build an audience and to monetize that audience. I hope you got some ideas on how to do that in this video and do me a favor in the comments. Let me know out of these seven ways to make money writing on Twitter in 2021, which one interested you most and which one do you think you would go with? Let me know in the comments. I'd love to hear from you. Now, one more thing. If you missed my video on how to grow an audience on Twitter fast, make sure you watch that. I'll link to it above or below this video so you can have easy access. And in the next video, we're going to talk about how to write viral posts that get you a ton of organic traffic on Twitter. So stay tuned for that. Take care and I'll talk to you soon.


Hello and welcome to CMC Markets on Friday the 11th of October and this quick look at the week ahead beginning the 14th of October and it's been a positive couple of days for Global equity markets. There's positive vibes around US China trade talks as Well as Brexit talks and this has seen the pound and global stock markets rise strongly over the last 24 hours There's rising optimism that we may see a breakthrough in either US China trade talks or Brexit talks Certainly the reaction of the pound Has been particularly notable in the past 24 hours. We've seen some very strong gains in the value of sterling on optimism that The talks between Irish tea Shockley of the red car and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson may well clear the way To a pathway to a deal But I would urge a little bit of caution on some of these headlines Certainly the overarching narrative of the past few days has been One of caution and the fact that Michel Barnier felt compelled to say only a few a couple of days ago that The two sides remained as far apart as ever Would appear to suggest that the truth is somewhere in between and ultimately while there may be a path to a deal These talks could also be a road to nowhere so At the moment the the pound is on the rise and I think that's largely on the basis that we will get some form of Extension in the event that we don't get some form of deal But certainly I think the markets are pricing out the prospect that we won't get a no-deal Brexit at the end of October The big question is really how do we get through the next few days and the next couple of weeks? Certainly in the next few days it's going to be very much dominated by Brexit as well as UK data we've got the European Council meeting coming up on the 18th of October and The Prime Minister will have to ask the EU for an extension to the Brexit deadline in the event He is unable to agree a new Brexit deal So the government has until the 19th of October to ask for an extension in the event a deal Cannot be agreed and I think it's hard to see How a deal can be signed sealed and delivered in the time allotted Let's not forget that I think this optimism needs to be tempered by the fact that any deal Would not only have to be approved by the EU But by MPs here in the UK as well an MPs track record on agreeing on anything in recent months hasn't been particularly great so I Think you have to you really do have to look at it in the round What may be acceptable to the EU may not be acceptable to the UK politicians and Vice versa I mean terms of US-China trade and there were some new tariffs due to kick in on the 15th of October I think we could conclude that anything like progress could see those tariffs that are due to increase deferred With President Trump's meeting later today with Chinese Vice President Lee here How well that goes over the course of the next Couple of days could well be instrumental as to whether or not we open the new week starting the 14th of October Higher or lower after the big gains that we've seen so far this week Certainly, it's also big. It's also a big week for China data coming up. We've got third quarter GDP We've got September industrial production and September retail sales on the 18th of October So with all the talk of the China US trade the Chinese economy has consistently shown signs that it's been slowing throughout the year We've seen industrial production in particular has been very feeble Come and coming in at 4.4 percent in August, which was a 25 year low while retail sales also slowed sharply So this is unlikely to improve significantly in the September numbers and Q3 GDP is expected to slow from the 6.2 percent That we saw in the second quarter in terms of UK data on Tuesday We have wages data Wage growth here in the UK has continued to confound expectations It rose to just shy of 4% in the three months to July helping cushion the effects of an economy That contracted slightly in the second quarter of this year now Q3 is looking slightly better and certainly growth-wise if this week's Rolling Q3 GDP numbers are any guide we got a we got an improvement to 0.3 percent With the services sector making up most of that gain manufacturing construction have continued to remain fairly weak And at some point the lack of a business investment will start to take some of the optimism out of the numbers that we've seen with respect to the Q3 expansion which we could well see Over the course of the next few weeks so far also that the loss of retail jobs this year hasn't seen unemployment levels rise That I don't think can continue forever. So I have to keep an eye out for that as well We've also got the latest CPI data out on the Wednesday the 16th of October And these numbers have consistently remained in and around the Bank of England's 2% target in August We saw a very surprise fall from 2.1 percent to 1.7 percent So that really I think gave a really really decent boost to overall real earnings and certainly the best number that we've seen since 2016 So certainly certainly keep keep an eye on that but I think in terms of what we're expecting over the course of the next few days While the data is important The actual broader geopolitical and macro story is likely to be just as important as Well, so let's look at some of the key levels on the charts certainly we can look at the pound against the dollar and The next key resistance really I think comes in or in and around the highs that we saw in September Which is around about 125 80 now at the moment as I speak we're heading back towards that level there But even if we do move above there, we've got a big big barrier At around about 2670 which is a 50% retracement of the entire down move from the March highs to the lows that we saw In August, so there's a big barrier between 1 2670 and the 200 day moving average So even if we do get further gains over the course of the next few days These gains will probably be tempered by a significant amount of technical resistance But certainly I think in terms of the price action things are looking more positive Even if you even if you do have an awful lot of concerns about the broader narrative Around whether or not we actually get a deal Certainly in terms of euro sterling. We're actually testing a very key support level on that level here around about the 87 70 area Which was also the lows that we saw in September and that's also 61.8 for the natural retracement level of the entire Move from the lows that we saw in March this year to the peaks that we saw in August So I think if we're able to really Can sustain a move through these lows here around about around about 87 80 Then we could well see further gains for the pound against the euro and what's also quite notable is That the 50 day moving average Is now starting to cross below the 100 day moving average so from a technical point of view Momentum is really starting to shift in sterling's favor Against the euro. We did see a very nice rebound off these September lows here But we ran into resistance on the 50 day moving average the 50 day is now starting to roll over Momentum is starting to move against the euro and in the favor of the pound and that in turn could actually see further Sterling gains against the euro now how that comes about You know, maybe we could get an extension Maybe we could get certainly an awful lot more positivity about the prospect of some form of deal Who knows but certainly in terms of the price action The pound is looking much more positive Against the euro and as such we could well see further sterling gains Against the single currency Certainly looking in terms of equity markets. It's also Been a very encouraging move that we've seen Momentum on the on the slow stochastic start to turn positive We've rebounded off the 200 day moving average in the DAX and we are now testing this trend line resistance From the peaks that we saw in July drawn through the highs currently comes in around about I would argue 12,450 so I think more than anything I think if we get a move through these series of highs in September in the DAX then we could see a Fairly impulsive move to the upside for equity markets at the moment We we remain below this resistance level and as such we do have to be very cautious about further upside But if we get a sustained break through this series of highs through a year and this trend line Then we could see an impulsive move back to the highs that we saw earlier this year If we look at the S&P 500 at the moment, we've seen a nice little move higher here Back towards the peaks that we saw In July as well as August and September I think in terms if we are looking to make further gains here We really need to consolidate this move through 2960 And head back towards the 3000 level so I certainly think there's potential for us to move a little bit higher But I'm still very suspicious as to about whether or not further gains are in any way sustainable in the short to medium term Given the weak economic backdrop. Yes, the Federal Reserve has gone slightly more dovish in terms of injecting Extra liquidity in the short into the short-term repo market, but that's a long way from Signalling that they're likely to cut rates further or do further quantitative easing Crude oil prices have also been in the news in the past couple of days We have seen a little bit of a rebound largely on the back of geopolitical concerns about that that missile attack on the Iranian tanker in the Red Sea at the moment the Iranians are resiling from Claiming that it was Saudi Arabia that carried out An attack or the attack or whatever it is at the moment No one really knows what caused the fire and the explosion in this Iranian oil tanker But it does strike me as a little bit strange as to why the Saudis would carry out an attack Right off its coastline because it would be very very easy For them to be accused of such a thing if you're going to do something like that You don't carry it out on your own doorstep. So at the moment oil is starting to pull back from its highs of the day it's rebounded off this trend line support from the lows here and At the moment, I think while geopolitical risk is a concern and a break out of hostilities could push the market higher at the moment The fundamentals for crude oil prices look a little bit on the weak side In terms of the earnings picture. It's a fairly It should be a fairly decent week because it's the start of US earnings season We've also got the latest results from the London stock exchange in the wake of the abandonment of the HKX the Hong Kong exchange withdrew its 30 billion takeover bid for London's stock exchange So that will give us a good indication as to what the LSE strategy is with respect to its refinitive deal and How well it's been doing in terms of its Q3 numbers over the course of the last few weeks We've also got US banks earning season starts on the 15th JP Morgan in particular has seen Its share price pull off the highs that we saw earlier this year the last two quarters have seen record revenues for JP Morgan Profits came in at a record 9.7 billion in Q2 I Think it's unlikely that we'll be able to see them match those numbers given the fact that we have since then seen the US Economy slow down a touch and the US Federal Reserve has cut interest rates twice Flattening the yield curve quite sharply So I think that could hinder JP Morgan's end US banks in general Goldman Sachs city group and Wells Fargo To perform as well in the second half of the year as they did in the first So the record high for JP Morgan is up here around about 120 We could see a spike higher but there does appear to be a natural resistance between 118 and 120 for JP Morgan We've also got the latest numbers from Netflix and it's certainly been not good news The Netflix's share price over the course of the last three months When Netflix last reported in July the shares dropped sharply after management dropped Reported a sharp slowdown in user growth across the board in the US There was a loss of 126,000 subscribers and expected against an expected gain of 352 more worrying the international subscriber growth Slowed quite sharply as well. Now the management have guided that the Q3 numbers should see Seven million new subscribers. That is a really high bar They've said that the start of stranger things in your new series of the crown should see a little bit of a rebound But since then both Apple and Disney have announced new Streaming product packages and that could well signify a real test For Netflix's subscriber model So we'll have to see whether or not Netflix are able to meet that seven million subscriber target And whether or not we can get a retest back to $300 or whether or not we could get or whether we'll get another warning from Netflix as to whether or not They're going to able to meet their rather ambitious subscriber growth and revenue Targets so that's it for this week gone on slightly longer than I had anticipated for this weekly Market up by update, but none the less is Michael Houston talking to you from CMC markets


Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Tommi O'Brien, coming to you live from TF9 Headquarters in St. Petersburg, Florida, 1 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, three hours left to go on the trading day. And we got markets right around flat territory right now. S&Ps, negative by one point, trading at 3,013. Dow Jones, negative by 30 points, trading at 27,302. NASDAQ, negative 5 points, trading at 8239. S&P and Dow, right up there near record high, so pretty muted action to start off the trading week. We'll jump over to the futures markets. We'll start it off with the Dow. And we were about 100 points higher, pre-market. 3.30 a.m. Eastern time. You'll see all the markets pre-market were up in higher territory. You're the Dow up there almost reaching 27,400. We're now trading just under 27,300 at 27,296. NASDAQ 100, high is just around 930. And there's your correlating high to about 3.30 a.m. We're actually above that level, just about pre-market, 79.67 right now in the NASDAQ 100. S&P is sliding lower for most of the session. There's your 9.30 a.m. bar. You're trading from 3,021. We're now about eight points lower at 3,013. Crude oil, trading lower as well under $60, now trading at 59.70.

And the Euro-US dollar, trading a bit lower as we get a little bit of Euro weakness, a little bit of dollar strength, Euro trading at 1.12.59. In terms of what else you have going on out there, earning season, bank earnings, Citigroup coming out with their earnings this morning, beating on earnings per share, bucked $95 versus $1.80. They also beat on revenue, $18.76 billion versus $18.5, not bad, that's an extra $260 million in revenue in 90 days, even though it's just two decimal points. And to jump over to the chart though, there is Citigroup, almost unchanged but in negative territory, off two tenths, 16 pennies in the negative, trading at $71.61. We were up at $7306 and we actually love these thinkorswim charts, they will always show you, there is the earnings drop at about 8 a.m. And there is the conference call as whatever they were saying, market seemed to like it.

What's going on guys know if we're kicking their bass TV here with another video and I'm here with Hank from bass Tell them what you do. Yeah pretty simple Noah I am the manager of our college series high school series and all of our youth aspects here at bass So he's pretty much doing everything for the high school everything for the college He handles all that stuff And I got a lot of questions from you guys a lot of you guys have been asking How do I start a club? How do I start fishing the tournaments? What are the steps? So I took notes on that. I got some good questions so the first one is Requirements to fish in tournaments, right? So I mean pretty simple for us with our high school series our requirements are you need to be an official Organization or you know club at your high school. That's your first step You need to get affiliated at your high school and if you have problems with that We have a denial process that that's on our website But that's your first step get official with your school then you need to affiliate with us. It's very simple It's a $20 fee per person that includes a bass Membership and a bass nation membership and with that bass nation membership The important thing about that is is you get an insurance policy that helps your school That's a big question. We get a lot of times. It's a million dollar third-party liability insurance policy that helps protect The named entities when they're competing, but that's super technical Again affiliate with your school then affiliate with us and then you're gonna go our tournaments are entry fee free And we have several across the country that happened. So there's a lot of options for you out there All right another quit make sure you're taking notes a lot of good information in this video. Um Other question was like a step-by-step to get into fishing tournaments like how you go to your school, right? And you go Yeah So I mean the the first thing you need to do is go talk to your principal athletic director If they're not as accessible go talk to a teacher asking what you need to do talk to some official person at your high school They're gonna tell you who you need to go talk to And if you're having problems you can always call us my contact information's on bassmaster.com again You got to get into the school then you recruit your anglers The first thing you want to do again is get official then you recruit your buddies who you want to join the club You need a minimum of two that's it You know it can be we have some clubs who have 75 students involved in and I hope to break that record I hope we get over 100 Grab your buddies and then really you know You're gonna have to go to your dad's friends dad someone like that for a boat to get out there on the water You know that's that's the one tough part is finding that access to a boat But you can still you can go compete on a you know farm pond stuff like that if you can't have access to a boat But to compete in our national tournaments, you're gonna need to get out on the water But we don't want that to stop you if you just like to fish, you know Go go to that as some schools have pond right behind their high school that they're fishing in just go in groups Yeah, exactly a time. So what if the school? Doesn't there's not wanting them to start a club. So that that's what we talked about a second ago But we have it.  We have what we call a denial letter process I like to call it schools who are Unofficially official if that makes sense But basically what you do is you say, okay If you're having problems talking to the principal or the athletic director and they say we don't want to do that We don't want any part of that. So you say, okay, we sign this sheet of paper It's all mine. They just fill it out and they basically acknowledge that you have tried to form a club They have said no, we're not gonna do that They're gonna sign on behalf of the school for that and then they turn that in we have that on file And then you can go for what we call a community club and a community club can be Just representative of your high school or it can be multiple high schools. It can be a county club We let some homeschool students go that route You know some some smaller private schools go that route and that's called the denial Club list but you're still on the same level can compete against other high schools You know ultimately we want to do away with that because as this grows We have close to 300 high schools on fire right now We want all of them to be official. Yeah, that was another big question like the homeschool and everything so they just get on Well, there's actually two options for homeschools. You can go the timpibo route, too if if within that county if they allow homeschool students to place a football or baseball within their zoned high school They're allowed to join that high school as long as a high school allows them to do that So pretty much as long as they're in district and everything. Yeah, exactly All right How many states are currently like have basketballs right now? We have 42 states and two countries Canada and Australia Actually, excuse me three countries into Bob way That's crazy How many colleges had bass programs who colleges? We're about at the 250 mark and when you think about it the high school numbers should be a lot higher than the colleges because a lot of averages how many high schools out there per college, so we're already over our college number in in numbers with colleges you're kind of I don't want to say we've kind of hit our peak, but we're not seeing as many new schools join It's just the same schools are continuing to grow their program colleges are growing great It's just in terms of new schools coming in we kind of hit that saturation point. I got you So tell us about like the open events and how many You've had in the past year and how many you're gonna have in the future Well to show you kind of how that has evolved and when we first started our our high school endeavors We had our imitational which was in 2013 and then last year we had our open which was still one And then this year we bumped it up to three fully run opens We have a a southern a central and a midwestern So we're kind of trying to touch on all those areas so there's close tournaments free They're open to anybody you can go fish all three you can fish one It doesn't matter if you want to come fish it as long as you are affiliated with bass master high school You've gone and gotten official with your school or Provided the denial letter and then joined bass master high school. You were open to fish any open bass master high school tournaments So what so what goes further past the opens what happens if you get in a certain percentage, right? Yeah, so with the opens that is a direct route to our national championship So if you want to if you come fishing and open it's a basically One national championship spot per 10 votes who compete So if we have 50 votes compete, that's five teams that advanced our national championship 100 That's 10 teams 150 15 teams And they advanced our national championship where last year we awarded over 90 thousand dollars in cash and are in Scholarships and prizes and that's we're going to do that again this year too So what are your like future plans anything new to expand the program? One of the really neat things that we're excited about is our team trail Aspect and so everyone stay with me on this, but this is designed This is almost like if you have little league baseball leagues across the country We don't necessarily we're trying to design a program that leads all of our national championship Okay, so we have The opens that we run we go on around and run those but then we also have our team trails So that basically means know if you started trail around the Atlanta area You have to affiliate with us. It's like you're a little league affiliated sanction League, okay, you run four tournaments Under our rules our umbrella for every 25 teams you have participate in your trail At the end of the year equals one spot to our national championship So these schools aren't having to go to our opens We want them to come to our open So you know if you fish our opens you get to hang out with the league series anglers You get all kind of goodies from coast of sunglasses, you know And so it's it's a very cool event to happen But if you can't make that you can even form a trail around your house Run under our rules our guidelines and qualify from that to our national championship That's pretty cool. So you're having more opportunities against them We're gonna have we already have 10 team trails that are all over the country and we anticipate that We don't know how big that's gonna be it's unlimited. Whoever wants to do it. That's awesome So and then you guys did where there's some automatic qualifiers like in the regular trails for each state Right each so that that's the third facet of how to get to our national championship We have three ways so you have state the open the team trail Which is new that started this year, but then last year We only allowed each state nation by affiliating with the Bassmaster High School You're a member of the Bass nation So there's a Georgia Bass nation an Alabama Bass nation a Mississippi Bass nation An Australia Bass nation all of those state nations get a guaranteed two spots to our national championship Their state champions and their runner-ups. So that that's what's existed last year. That's where we got our 62 boat field This year. We're already over a hundred because we've added in our opens Plus the original locked in two teams per state nation You're just opening more ways for people to qualify in If your high school doesn't have a program, how can they participate in the tournament? So again that goes back to the denial route They need to go through that process talk to an administrator get them to sign that form and if they're having problems They can contact me. What are the safety requirements that you need like a tournament? So we're starting to The first thing is uh, well If you if you're competing in any of our tournaments We have a long list of safety guidelines you have to do the first and foremost And this just goes to anybody out there always wear your life jacket anytime that big motor is on and running You need to have that life jacket on.  It could have been avoided if you had that life jacket on So that's the first thing you guys need to do no matter what But uh, you know, there's several safety things that we require. We're we're beginning to install coast guard safety Courses will need to be passed by all students competing with us That's because that's becoming a state requirement across the board We're going to go ahead and start that early with you guys and have that required as long as you're of age to take that Test so that's one of the big things and then they cover pretty much everything that's within our safety guidelines safety first What does it need to enter a tournament everything all the requirements? Well, you need a boat. That's the first thing It has to be an access to a boat. You know, I want to be clear there You know, we have a specific requirements that are listed in our rules I don't want to go through all that just because it's going to get confusing to you guys But the boat needs to be ensured. It needs to meet a certain length that motor can't have a Can't exceed a certain amount of horsepower, but uh, that's the first thing you need to have a partner We we always want you to have a partner These are designed to be team events and then you need a boat coach a boat captain Some people refer to it as that but we call them a coach and an adult who's going to take you out and And be your your captain slash coach for the day. He drives the boat the main engine and then Basically is your your cheerleader throughout the day All right guys, I'm pretty sure that's all the questions I have. Um written down so Pretty much get a club start at your school Start getting into the tournaments, right? You shouldn't be good from there The key there bassmaster.com slash high school Click on the registration tab at the top It basically step by step list all the forms you need everything you need is on there Including our contact information if you have any questions problems and get in touch with your state youth director We have a person in charge in every state who is very well in tune with the high school Happenings within that state and they usually can answer a lot of your questions If I can't their contact information is on the website also, but uh, it's all there if you need to contact us You can and you know that should cover everything you need or just watch this video Yeah, if you have any more questions you can leave them below I can try to help out with them But I'll put that link below so you guys can go check that out and guys be prepared for it talk to your parents about it Um talk to a teacher at school because that's another thing when you're trying to set up a club I don't know if that's how your school is but my school You need to have a teacher that's going to sponsor the club So get all of that settled in everything and then try to advance into the club But make sure we're in summertime right now So get everything prepared and then when you go into the school you're going to want to get it started off quick Because sometimes they might not let you halfway into the year so Already be prepping for that um this summer.
