The following is a presentation of TFNN, the morning markets kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, company live from TFNN Wednesday morning just after 9 a.m. Eastern time. We got about 24 minutes to go until the start of trading. You got markets in negative territory, a little bit of a change of direction. We've had positive action almost across the board, almost made it to 4,200 within just about two points from that price level yesterday before you got a little bit of a sell-off. We ended the session at about 4,180. We just almost hit 4,150, right back to the lows of Monday, essentially, this market. We got some earnings, man. We got Tesla cutting their prices yet again. You're talking about on the Model Y, man, 29% is the number when you add up the few cuts that we've had so far this year. It's only April. You're talking about 29% on the Model Y. The Model 3, I think you're pushing a 15% cut. You got Morgan Stanley out with their numbers lower this morning as well. We'll jump over to all of it. We start things off with the markets, though, with the S&Ps. Negative by 6-10%, and it's been a slow, steady just fall. We had some type of positive action for 10 points between about 6 and almost 8 in the morning, but since then, it's been lower prices, man, with the S&Ps down about 6-10%, NASDAQ 100. We're down almost 9-10% right now, 13,083. We got the Dow off 3-10%, the Russell off about 7-10%, Bitcoin getting hit. Check that out, right? Under 30,000, to say the least, you almost got below 29,000. Bitcoin off 3.5% right now. Ethereum off a solid 5.1% right now. Crypto getting hit, 1981 for Ethereum. You got crude trading lower as well, 79, 60 on the price of crude. We got the gold contract rocking this morning. Down to 1980, when at 1993, we got some action in notes and bonds as well. You have a little bit of lower price, higher yield seems to be the trend, man. Right? You back it up to a week ago, man. We were at a 116 handle. We just got a 113 handle this morning on the 10 year. We got the 30 or negative by 18 ticks. At 129.15, we jump over to the dollar index. Dollar index was up to 102.20. We've fallen off a bit. Just when was that high? Yeah, I was going to say 87.15 this morning, 102.20. We're back to 101.87 right now in the dollar index. We're going to talk to our man, Kevin Hinks, coming up after the first break. We're going to talk to our man, Teddy Kankstatt, coming up at 40 past the hour as we do every Wednesday. Teddy's got a webinar, folks. We'll talk about it later in the program, coming up tonight. At 4 PM Eastern time, it's right on the front page of TFNN. It's a great day for that webinar with the action that we have in currencies. The dollar yields markets across the board. We'll talk to Teddy about that webinar at 40 past the hour, but check it out on the front page of TFNN, folks. Tonight at 4 PM Eastern time, you can sign up with a 30 day money back guarantee for his Tiger Forex report. Can't say enough, right? Action across the board in currencies and in markets. We jump over to the volatility index. The VIX this morning, pretty low volatility, man. We had 16.58 yesterday. We're sitting at 17.04 right now on the VIX. All right, let's kick it off with Tesla, man. This one's an interesting one. So Tesla, down about $6 from where it was yesterday. We jump over to the headline. Shares drop as Musk cuts prices again ahead of earnings. So Tesla has their numbers, I believe, tonight. Interesting, right? Didn't want to do it all at once, I guess. They cut their numbers. They cut the prices, marks down the Model 3 and the Y for the second time this month. This month, things are moving quickly, man. Investors expect reductions to take a toll on profit margins. I mean, they have to, right? They're not exactly reducing the cost to the same degree. So margins are gonna take a hit. You have the Model Y Sport Utility Vehicle down by 3,000. It also cut the Model 3 by 4.7% to less than $40,000. That's a pretty affordable vehicle these days, man. Tesla's stock falls almost 3%. As we referenced here, you take a look at the changes. The Model Y down 3, Model Y long down 3, Model Y performance down 3, and the Model 3 down 2. What is interesting though, as I referenced here, the base Model Y and the Model 3 can be had for 15, excuse me, the Y is down 29%. The Model 3 down 15%, just from where it was this year, man. Remarkable. And what's also interesting here is, is that Tesla kind of takes it on the chin here because they're the only vehicle maker that publishes their vehicles, vehicle prices on their website. Most of the time, right? I mean, we're all familiar, man.  This is happening at every car company, folks, okay? You just don't see it because they don't publish their prices. You have discounts, you have rebates, whatever you have going on. And despite the second set of price cuts that they had early in March, Tesla delivered just 10,695,000 of the Model S and X in early March. That's the lowest since the third quarter in 2021. They got a demand problem right now, man. That's the bottom line. And boy, can you imagine if you had bought an El Primo Model Y SUV at the end of last year and by the middle of April, your cars were 30% less than what it was just three or four months ago. You just got hammered, man. To say the least, that's gotta leave a mark on you in terms of how you feel about the brand when you just got fleeced, but that's what's happening. And pay attention because it's happening to the other car makers, man. Forward, down a little bit with the market this morning. GM, down a little bit with the market this morning, not exactly indicative of Tesla, but every time you see these Tesla headlines, okay? Keep in mind that the other car makers have a different business model that allows them to not publish their prices. And think about that, right? Yeah, and I agree, man. Most people prefer not visiting that showroom. I mean, we should have some, I mean, there's a reason why they don't publish their prices, man. So take it for what it's worth. Nonetheless, you got Tesla shares down about six bucks to 178. We take a look at Tesla a little bit longer term timeframe. We put it on the weekly and yeah, you trade down early in the year to about 101. You make it all the way to 220 and just like that, we're back to 184, 178 right now. We got the lows of early March at 163 for Tesla shares this morning. We jump over to Morgan Stanley with their numbers back to a short-term timeframe chart. See, we'll pull up a 15 minute. Yeah, some tough go-arounds for these banks, man. We get the banks getting hit yet again. Morgan Stanley, now they were trading lower yesterday on the Goldman numbers, clawed back most of those gains. And then just like that, you give up about four bucks. Yeah, $3, $4 from Morgan Stanley. And let's jump over to Morgan Stanley. Top analytics expectations on better the expected trading results. That's one headline, right? But it's like, choose your headline sometimes. Profit slide amid investment banking, slow down. I'd stay with this headline folks. Bloomberg, maybe Wall Street Journal, New York Times business section. Stay away from CNBC if you can. You see the difference there. Net income slips 20% even as traders and bankers exceed estimates. The wealth business added 110 billion in new assets, but net income sliding 20% and the company's provisions for credit losses quadrupling to 234 million. Not really staggering compared to some of the others. 4.6 trillion is their wealth business. You talk about a number, man. Revenue 6.56 billion. Yeah, but nonetheless, not what the market wanted, man. Revenue from equity underwriting slumped 22% deal-making 22% while debt underwriting declined 5.8%. Mergers and acquisitions bankers also slipped, dropping 32%. Big numbers, man, these banks. Watch out, Morgan Stanley down. We got markets down, S&P down 22, NASDAQ 100 off 104. Stay tuned folks, we'll be coming back talking to our man Kevin Hinks from TD Ameritrade Network. We'll be right back.

Welcome back, folks. We've got a chart of Meta up here. So Meta, they're gonna begin their layoffs, yeah. Started its latest round of layoffs focusing on technical employees. Let's pull this one up real quick, taking a look. And boy, if you start seeing these companies fade, man, and I'm not, you know, over two round of layoffs in November and March, Meta said it would be cutting around 21,000 jobs. As part of Meta's layoffs announced last month, the company started saying goodbye to some of the people in the technical role. So they've already announced these, they're happening. Nonetheless, you got Meta trading lower at the market. Meta right now trading at about 214 from about 218 down about $4, almost 2%. Gonna be an interesting open, man. Market's trading right now down about 22 points. NASDAQ off about 105. Let's see how some of the fang stocks are trading. I talked about it, was it last week? Maybe it was Monday. I think it was last week I talked about on my program, folks, that seven equities have added almost 90% of the S&P run that we've had this year alone. They're all the usual suspects in terms of Apple, Microsoft, NVIDIA, Tesla. Meta was one of them in there. Maybe Google will have to pull them up, but it's all the usual suspects in terms of what's been happening there. But you start seeing some holes in that armor, man, and we're seeing it this morning, right? Tesla taking it on the chin. Meta with layoffs, still trading lower down about $4 on that number. We got the market trading lower as well. And yeah, you start seeing some chinks in that armor, man, watch out. NVIDIA shares up to 281 yesterday. We're about eight bucks off of that high, man. Market trading lower though, probably just getting dragged down to say the least. All right, let's jump to what else we have going on. Talked about Morgan Stanley. How about Netflix, man? This one was quite a roller coaster last night. If you didn't see it in the moment, folks, you talk about a roller coaster. Down to 292 and a heartbeat. They missed some of their numbers and they're gonna delay clamping down on the password sharing, which is going to delay the impact of that, which is increased revenue, maybe some more signups from kicking people off for sharing passwords. And they also stopped the DVD sharing business. Excuse me, pretty interesting that was still going around, right? Who's still subscribing to Netflix DVD sharing, but that business, it was still doing some numbers, man. By small business accord, it would have been a decent business probably before what Netflix is dealing with, probably just a distraction. And it is interesting when you think you go so far back, the flak Netflix took early on when they really made the shift away from DVDs. Do you remember when they first separated the ability to stream and the ability to just order DVDs? Because it was all DVDs. That's how they changed the world at first. That's how they took out Blockbuster, right? They just had the DVDs and then they incorporated some streaming. And then what they said is we're separating. There's gonna be streaming and there's gonna be DVDs and the whole world flipped out. They saw the writing on the wall, man. Don't be afraid to make big changes. Reed Hastings to his credit, he's made some big changes along the way many times and they've worked out pretty well across the board. So it'd be interesting to see where they go, but they're delaying some of what they're doing there and they delay the password sharing crackdown rule out. They post mixed results. And yeah, I imagine that's gonna have an impact but who's gonna be signing up, right?   And Netflix cracks down, meaning it makes it more difficult, you can't log in. Are you gonna instantly go to their website and sign up? I don't think that's the case right now, man. It might be occasionally and they'll get some more business, but it's gonna be interesting to see how that transitions in terms of how many signups they actually get. The earnings top the estimates, but the revenue slightly below them, which is why you saw that escalation probably right off the bat. The algos took over, they crashed that thing down to 292, they missed on revenue.  But guess what, this morning, you're already down $10. Now, you jump over to the analyze tab, you're talking about a move that was expected to be about $27 in either direction. So there was a lot of volatility priced into this equity coming into their numbers. You're only about $10 off of that number after spiking lower right on the number and put it back to a one-minute chart. It was a quick dive down within about 60 seconds.  Absolutely remarkable. I had some friends that were training it, and this is where folks, doesn't hurt to have some limit orders in there. Maybe sometimes you get some of those spikes, man. You got a price level that you want in some of these equities, doesn't hurt to position yourself because you never know when you might get a move bigger than you think. And if you're comfortable getting in that, maybe it's a longer term position. Yeah, you see how that can play out sometimes. Pretty remarkable. All right, jumping around to what else we got going on here. We talked about Morgan Stanley. We talked about Netflix. We talked about a little bit of Tesla. What else are we gonna talk about? Let's see. Yeah, let's talk a little bit of UK inflation, right? Hot inflation data in the UK. So they get a number and they come in hot in terms of where they are and you have yields rising. Where investors expect the Bank of England's policy rate to be in November. We've seen rising numbers to say the least, man, as their inflation continues to run hot, you got Europe trading lower this morning. Interest rates swap show investors now believe the Bank of England will raise its key rate to 4.47% at its meeting in May up from the current rate of 4.25, basically pricing in a hike. And investors also boosted bets on additional rate increases throughout the year. Swap contracts show the Bank of England rate peaking at around 4.96 in November, compared to a rate of 4.775. As I mentioned, folks, great day to sign up for our man, Teddy Kegstad. We're gonna talk about it when we talk to him at 40 past the hour, but just a quick glimpse. There it is on the front page. Check out the Tiger 4x report. We'll be talking to Teddy Kegstad in about 15 minutes, coming up at 40 past the hour. Now here's an interesting one about Apple I was reading. Did, it was not aware of this. And just a little FYI, the iPhone setting that thieves use to lock you out of your Apple account in the days of Apple privacy and everything that they're so proud of in terms of how they, the mantra of Apple, right? It's privacy and all this stuff. But boy, some of these stories in here, folks, and I can kind of relate in terms of, I got a young son that's just over two years old now, man, I got about 10,000 pictures in my phone that boy, I never wanna lose. And I've already backed them up and you should back them up. That's gonna be kind of the message of this because it gets a little technical in here. And the bummer of it is, is that not many people understand what you're dealing with here, but they go over one instance where you have one gentleman locked out of his phone since October. He'll do anything to get back in. And why? Because it holds eight years of photos of his young daughters. Isn't that, that's what rang true to me, man. I recently, so I have an iPhone 12 and I have 256 gigabytes of storage. And I think my photo library alone started reaching over 100 gigabytes. And so instead of storing it in the phone, I decided to back it up to the iCloud. But what I was worried about a bit is that you back it up to the iCloud, then it's not even in the phone. Okay, so it's not in the phone, it's in the iCloud. Well, then it's somewhere else. I better back that up myself. So I did back it up. It took almost like a day or two or something like that to back it up from my phone to my desktop to an external hard drive. And that's what you should do, man.  That's the message of this article because you can do everything you want, but hackers, they can always find a way, man. So you wanna have redundancy.  You can't get those memories back. And photos are the best thing to be able to just kind of relive those moments at times.  But what happened? It is phone stolen. This is an iPhone 14, top of the line, iPhone 14 Pro. We'll finish this up when we get back. But I'm not even aware of some of this stuff. They got a recovery key, they have your passcode, all this stuff, and nonetheless.  And Apple, not that much help in the process. Markets in negative territory. Gonna be an interesting open, folks.  We'll be right back.

You're up to 41.61, your 10 points off the low that we were trading at just within about an hour ago, trading at 41.50. Let's see how some of the stocks with action are trading. We jump over to Netflix on their numbers last night. Netflix down about 2.8%, not bad, considering the spike they got last night, right? Morgan Stanley catches a slight bid down only 3%, 87.29 right now. And we jump over to some of the Fang stocks. Apple shares catches a bid. There you go. That's probably the reason why markets spiking, man. 1.66 right now almost for Apple shares, barely in the red right now. We jump over to Microsoft, down about 2.30%. Yeah, 2.30% trading at 2.60, 2.86. We jump over to Google, down about a percent right now. Let's see how the dollar index is trading, man. Look at that. You run all the way up to 1.02, 222. We're back to 1.01, 87. We check out yields right now. The 10 year, down about 10 ticks, pretty much where we kicked off the program. All right, and I got to find that Apple article. Forgive me, because I was jumping around a bit. I hope I didn't close it. I hope I didn't shame on me. There it is. So what they talk about in here real quickly is that they have the recovery key. So I was not even really familiar with this. I don't think I have it turned on. But what happens is that you have a recovery key that was introduced just in 2020, okay? And it's protect users from online hackers, users who turn on the recovery key. A 28 digit code must provide it when they want to reset their Apple ID password. Now the problem is, is that if anybody gets your passcode, okay, they can immediately flip on the recovery key and lock you out, or if you already have the recovery key enabled, they can just generate a new one. You got to protect your passcode. A lot of times this talks about maybe in bars in terms of what happens. There was one instance in this article talking about a gentleman in good old Boston. Let's see if I can find that one. Yeah, here you go. iPhone 13 Pro was stolen from a Boston bar in August. The 24 year old said he spent an hour on the phone with Apple customer support, trying to regain access to over a decade of data. Each rep told him the same thing. No recovery key, no access. And he had never heard of the key, let alone set one up.  That would be my encouragement because photos in particular, right? We're all kind of so used to trusting all these big tech companies and you see it happen there. I mean, they got top of the line phones, man. iPhone 13's, iPhone 14's.  I'll just call Apple, we'll figure it out. I'm sure I can confirm that it's me. And no, it's not the case, man. It's a very difficult case actually, is what they say. And this is where they go through. Account recovery is a huge challenge for the industry. That's one executive director of some non-profit that governs security standards implemented by Apple and others. The main issue for tech companies is being able to validate the user's identities when they forget such information as their passcode, et cetera. And that's what your recovery key looks like. But nonetheless, pretty scary stuff, man, that you could just get your phone swiped and we know how it works, man, especially in a bar, right?  Just like that and you lose all those pictures, man. It rings true to me essentially, especially folks, just because I told you I just went through it and I actually had to go through a lot of trouble. And it was probably because I had such a large library, not often that you're gonna be backing up 100 plus gigs of data, but that's becoming more and more common, much more common.  And it might be the most photos I ever take in a two year period when you have a child. You know, I take a picture, I take 20 pictures and I choose the best one, whatever it is, stuff like that, right? You go through it. So I got plenty of phone pictures and I don't want to delete any of them because someday when I'm older, I want to go through that phone and look at them all. But it took a while to back it up. I could not get it done. I downloaded the iPhone photo app. I was trying to back it up to an external drive and it was just such a large amount of data that it was very difficult, but stay vigilant, get it done. Because yeah, you see instances like this, man, when things go wrong and you lose all that and there's no getting it back and it would be a bummer. All right, what else we got on the earnings trend? We got United Airlines out with their numbers, little bit of volatility, man. They were low last night, they were higher and now they're higher, up by 2.5%, even with the market in negative territory. They lost 63 cents a share. The market was looking for them to lose 73 cents a share and they had 11.43 billion, which is pretty much right in line with estimates, just a hair above what they were looking for in terms of the numbers. Let's see what else we got for equities moving this morning. Let's see, we got Intel, they're down a little bit. Looks like they're not gonna be dealing with Bitcoin as much. It tell down 1.6%. They announced that they'd be discontinuing their Bitcoin mining chip services after just a year of production. Interesting, not quite going the way they thought, I guess. Yeah, just looking what else we have going on here. Morgan Stanley. Yeah, let's jump intuitive surgical. They were out with their numbers. ISRG, I believe is their symbol, there it is. 11.11%, 11.11% for intuitive surgical. The company reported earnings of a buck 23 above a buck 20. Revenue grew 14% and they took in 1.7 billion versus 1.59% percentage wise. That is a huge beat, man, for intuitive surgical. What else do we got in there? All right, let's see what other headlines I had pulled up here. We talked about Metta. We talked about iPhone. Morgan Stanley. Yeah, we've pretty much talked about a lot of the main stories, man, as we come in.  Let's take a look at Tesla, see how they're trading on the heels of their numbers. Down 2.4% in terms of the cut that they had in the prices. We jump over to the analyze tab. You're talking about a move of about $12.50 for their numbers. We jump over to the earnings tab. Those numbers are today after the bell. Let's just see in terms of what we're talking about. So if you want action through Friday, you're talking about about a $14 implied move in either direction. Not that bad for how Tesla moves sometimes. You're already down $4.40. But this car deal, man, as somebody I've talked about it before, myself, I have a BMW coupe right now, probably in the market for an SUV at some point in the near future. Tommy's only two right now. He's not really doing enough to require a huge vehicle just yet, but something I'm probably gonna need as he definitely gets into the ages where he's having more activities, maybe playing some sports, gonna get him a big hockey bag with all his equipment once he starts dominating hockey in the state of Florida. And I am in no rush at all to be buying a vehicle of any degree. And this is not just electric vehicles, folks. You're gonna see this play out. Elon Musk go crazy that he has to publish his prices when all these other vehicle makers just put out rebates and incentives and stuff like that, which kind of disguise how bad things are in terms of how they're having to cut prices to shore up demand, but it's happening. And so that's indicative of some tough deals going on across the board. Yeah, Minivan, we'll see if we go Minivan. We've talked about it before. Yeah, I tell you, man, the ideal car, if you're looking for a car, but talk about expensive in the days of inflation, man, that GMC Yukon Denali, GMC Yukon Denali, oh, they're so beautiful. But dollar for dollar, I talked about it on my program back. Kia Telluride, if you're looking for a three-row SUV, if you want captain chairs in the second row, the Kia Telluride is probably your best dollar-for-dollar SUV, three-row vehicle. You got captain chairs in the second row. You got a third row as well. Maybe Kia can send me some rebates as well. Great vehicle, man, and some I'm looking at as well. Stay tuned, folks. We're coming back with our man, Teddy Kegstad. We're gonna talk some forex and talk some webinar tonight. We'll be right back.

Can't go wrong folks and boy, we got quite a market for it. Teddy Kegstad, good morning. Good morning, Tommy. Why don't we start off a little bit about the webinar, Teddy, man? What you're gonna be talking about for subscribers? We got quite a day, man. These markets, they're rocking the dollar index. Pretty dramatic moves in both directions recently. What are you gonna be talking about to subscribers tonight at four o'clock for the Tiger Forex Report? Well, today, especially with the inflation number for the UK that plays into a lot of what we're gonna be talking about in the webinar. One of the topics is gonna be the central banks with their forecasts for them moving forward over the next quarter, next three to four months or so, and also a lot of the geopolitical things that are coming into play also. A little bit about the bricks and stuff like that as well. So yeah, we have a great day for the webinar, especially with the way the markets are reacting off of the news that came out from the UK today. It's pretty awesome. I know we talk to you every Wednesday. It seems like Wednesday is a great day to talk to you, man. Whether we're getting Fed Day, whether we're getting inflation data, whatever it is. We got markets moving for sure. Where do you wanna kick things off in terms of taking a look, man? We got some action in crude. We got yields. We got dollar. Where do you wanna start things off as we jump around? Well, there's a lot of cool things to talk about. With crude, I think we've had this big pop. You got a big gap in the oil market. Typically, there's no trader adage that all gaps get filled. Doesn't mean it's gonna get filled anytime soon. Maybe not, but I think that's kind of what we're working on right now is there was a, remember when the crude first exploded when the OPEC did their, basically put in a floor at 75. This is something that, the markets always react very quickly on news like this. I think it was a little overdone for one. So I think you're gonna probably see the market try and hold back around these upper 70s for a little bit, for as far as oil is concerned. When it comes to the Treasury bond market, that's something that's getting very interesting because we've had a nice pullback in that. Today, the bonds are down a little bit. Yields are up. This is helping to keep the dollar a little bit strong versus some currencies.  You got the Euro-US dollar that's down. You have the pound that's up. You have the US dollar, Swiss, which is up today. So there's a lot of divergence going on as far as many of the currencies, which is something that we've been talking about for a while. And I think that that really plays into a lot of these factors that are driving these markets and these trends that I've been talking about how the dollar index is, it's always a good gauge overall for many currencies. It's a lot of times it'll basket all of them. But now we have such diversions that you have to use the dollar index accordingly. And I think it has more to do with the Euro and a couple other currencies. And it does, for instance, say like with the US dollar, Swiss, and also some of the other lesser major pairs. For instance, you have the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar, both, which have come into basically a sideways trade with everything that's going on right now. And I think you're gonna see that that's gonna remain. And that's one of the reasons why you're not getting the overall true trends in the Dixie right now. And that's something that I think is gonna remain for the next few, three, four months ahead at least. And especially what's going on with Europe, there's divergence in Europe. You have Swiss strength and you have weakness in the pound and the Euro. Today, you're getting a knee-jerk reaction in the pound because obviously the Bank of England is gonna be aggressively trying to fight inflation by raising rates. But at the same token, they're also buying our treasury bonds. So to short out the banking market. So they're in a bit of a dilemma there. So I wouldn't expect a lot, a very big move, especially with bullish strength. And the pound I think you guys gotta watch. We had a sell signal in the pound last week, which coincided with the dollar index. When you have multiple markets that have signals that go in tandem, you really gotta look at those inflection points. So meaning like the move that was set off of Friday's high or low, depending on which currency pair you're talking about, how that reacts. And if that is establishing a true trend, we're gonna find that validation over the next few sessions. Like I don't know if you have a pound dollar chart to look at. But if you look at it. Okay, so last Friday, we had a bearish and golfing line sell signal. The market went down on Monday and then Tuesday and today we have it higher, especially because of the reaction to what's going on with the inflation numbers. So the high from Friday is key. So not only is that sell signal remain intact, if that high stays intact, meaning that we probably have a good chance of seeing the pound get down to the dollar 23, dollar 22 level. And if it does so, it's not just that sell signal that is reinforced, then you have a head and shoulders. Cause if you look at the chart right now, Friday's high was like the head and we came back down and now we're making another shoulder. So if the pound takes out the high, well, obviously the head and shoulders does not happen. Okay, and that means we know that that is a good breach level for pressing through resistance. So I'd be very careful if you're short, don't try and fight that move above those highs and may only just take out the high by a little bit. It could also be an explosion point. When the pound gets volatile, it doesn't move like 20, 30, 40 ticks. It moves like three bucks. So I mean, that's something you have to really take into account. And the same is also to the downside. So if you take the low from Monday and then you take the low from like, I think it's like, was it last Tuesday or something like that?  So that's not a much of a break, you know? And if we can take that out over the next couple of sessions, especially going into the weekend, well, then I think you're gonna have a nice corrective move where you can see that pound definitely get back down probably to that $1, $23, $22 area. That's nice. And what do you think? Just going a little bit big picture and that's great analysis, man. I love how you break down each individual pairing because I mean, I myself even, I get caught up in the dollar index and I love how you break down the influence, you know, of the different currencies right now and how there is just divergence across the board when we jump through each chart, man. It's pretty staggering. What do you think of just the general conversation, Teddy, about, you know, we're probably approaching the area that we're gonna pause on the Fed, whether it's one more hike, maybe it's two, maybe it's three, right? I mean, I don't think they're gonna have to go to seven or 8%, so we're probably approaching it. And meanwhile, we have inflation heating up overseas. Potentially, at least they gotta beat today and that those central banks are still gonna be facing some heat there. I asked that in particular because we got the dollar index, man. It's been quite a pullback from 115. Do you think the market's gotten even ahead of that move? Because we're almost back to when the Fed started hiking, which is just remarkable when you think that we're back to where we were when we started hiking. Meanwhile, we're still hiking. What do you think of that kind of conversation? I'm trying to do that in my own head, saying, you know, is the market already ahead or could the dollar be facing a lot of weakness if we start to pause and then you still have, you know, Europe, and I know I'm bringing it back to the dollar and you've told us that there's divergences. But what do you think of that kind of conversation? I would love to hear what you have to say about that one. I think the consensus is ahead of themselves and I'd be very, very cautious on trading off of that kind of information. I personally think the Fed's going to be raising quarter points for the rest of the year, most likely, especially with the, unless there's a major shift where the inflation starts to really drop globally, you know, and I don't see that happening, you know, so. Well, Teddy, I appreciate it. We'll leave it there because I know you got a lot to talk about tonight as well at four o'clock folks, please check it out. Teddy, thanks for the time, man.

And I'm gonna finish it up with this one, man, because it's ringing in my head again. I was talking about it yesterday, but it's pretty interesting where we're sitting at, right? We are sitting exactly where we were when the Fed started hiking, back in March of last year. And it would just be absolutely amazing if that's where you kind of traded lower from as the Fed came into an area that they are going to begin pausing from. And boy, if we ever get hikes across the board this year, you better watch out, folks, but inflation's raging. I'm surprised there's not more discussion of the Fed needing to do more. I mean, you only have to go back to March 7th, folks, March 7th, that's when Chairman Powell was in front of Congress, and he said, hey, we're gonna have to go higher than people think and higher for longer. He was saying it. Well, he got sidestepped two days later by a banking crisis that kind of wiped out everything he said, but keep it in mind, because inflation's still there. Core inflation, which is what the Fed cares about most, is still there to say the least. And technically speaking, man, we are at a critical area. And you see that bright blue line on this chart, folks? Critical area in the S&P sits just about, just below 4,200 is what I was gonna say. Where you put it on that chart, we'll see. But what have we done? We've traded slightly below that number, slightly above, excuse me, slightly below. And yeah, we have not gotten above it. And the only time we got above it, since you broke through it about a year ago, you got through it in August of last year. You made it there by about five days, and then the market traded down 20% over the period of two months. So we're at a technical area, inflation's raging, and we got inflation raging everywhere, man. So we'll see how it plays out. Folks, thanks for starting your trading day with me. Stay tuned. We got our man, Basil Chapman. He's coming up next. We got our man, Steve Rhodes at 11 o'clock, fast market at 12, Larry Pezzavento doing double duty. Tom O'Brien live from three till four, and our man, Teddy Kegstad live from four till five with a webinar for Tiger 4X report subscribers. Have a great Wednesday, folks. Stay tuned for Basil. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Have a great one.


Based on actual events as recorded in the Book of Mormon, another testament of Jesus Christ. What are you doing? Baking tools. Four? The Lord has commanded me in a vision and has shown me how to build a ship to carry our people across these waters. Ha, ha, ha! Nephi, this is madness! Working together, we can be... You will get no help from us. Here we have found a land of promise. Here we will stay. We know that ye cannot construct a ship. Thou art like unto our Father, led away by the foolish imaginations of his heart. He hath led us out of the land of Jerusalem, and we have wandered in the wilderness these many years. And our women? Our women have toiled. And they have borne children in the wilderness and suffered all things, save it were death. It would have been better that they had died before they came out of Jerusalem than to have suffered these afflictions. For many years, we have suffered in the wilderness, which time we might have enjoyed our possessions and the land of our inheritance and we might have been happy. The people of Jerusalem were about to be... The people who were in the land of Jerusalem were a righteous people. They kept the statutes and judgments of the Lord and all his commandments according to the law of Moses. Do ye believe that our fathers would have been led away out of the hands of the Egyptians? If the Lord had not commanded Moses that he should lead them out of bondage, that has nothing to do with this. Do ye know that Moses was commanded of the Lord to do that great work? And ye know that by his word, the waters of the Red Sea were divided and they passed through on dry ground. You are not Moses. And this is not the Red Sea. You are swift to do iniquity, but slow to remember the Lord your God. You have seen an angel and he spake unto you have heard his voice. And he had spoken unto you in a still small voice. But ye were past feeling that ye could not feel his words. Why is it that ye can be so hard in your hearts? My soul is rent with anguish because of you. And my heart is pained. I fear lest ye shall be cast off forever. I am filled with the spirit of God. And so much my frame has no strength. In the name of the Almighty God, I command ye that ye touch me not. For I am filled with the power of God even unto the consuming of my flesh. And whoso shall lay his hands upon me shall wither even as a dried reed. And they shall be as not before the power of God, for God shall smite him. Lerner, no more against our Father. And do not withhold your labor from me. For God has commanded me that I should build a ship. The Lord had commanded me to do all things I could do. If the Lord hath such great power and hath wrought so many miracles, then how is he cannot instruct me that I should build a ship? Nephi, stretch forth thine hand again unto thy brethren, and I will shock them that they may know that I am the Lord their God. I am thy brother, even thy younger brother, before worship the Lord thy God and honor thy Father and thy mother.


Welcome to the Stockswish Show Market Review, this is a spy review. Market is very, very, very bullish. For a tiny little bit of a time today, the market broke the low and was red. It barely lasted a millisecond. The market is strong. And I've been saying this all along, saying this all along this whole period here, but the market is making a new high here today even, made a new high yesterday, made a new high the day before, made a new high here on the 27th. To start out the week, market is strong. For people that have been looking to short this market, I don't know why they're still doing it, but even today, I'm sure people tried to short this thinking that this was going to come in, because look what it did actually here in the, you can't really see it here in the daily, but on the 15 minutes is what the market did. Open rally, tried to go higher here, failed, failed to go higher into the lunchtime period when people like to do reversals into 12 o'clock, and people probably shorted this. I know that they did. And the market did come down here in this hard red bar at 12.30, but actually I'm seeing this now. No, we never really broke the low. We never broke the low on the spy. We didn't accuse. But anyways, we never broke the low on the spy, but people tried to short this as a top. All the market did was come in and do a buy set up in the 15 minute chart now, ended up going over this area, or on today, today on the day, went all the way up to 192.61. And the fact is that this market is just very, very, very, very strong. I mean, there are so many beautiful things about this market. If you like to go long, and your core stock should be that you're in or long, you're getting paid through all these market rallies. I mean, and some of these things have just lifted off beautifully with this market. So, you know, don't short this. I mean, people are still trying to short this market. And that's why really, to be honest, it's just going to continue pushing higher and higher and higher and higher and higher. It's getting bought. People are getting stopped out of their shorts. People keep trying to short it. And it's just not a short. It never was a short, actually. Even when the market was coming in over here, we'll go over and look at this here. Even when the market came in here, it wasn't a short. Made a new high. Even when the market came in here, it wasn't a short. Rally back. Just because something can't go over this area here, doesn't mean you short it. Okay? This is a re-test. A re-test. That's it. And all it did was come in and then take off again. I mean, this was just a pull in here. And then people say we're extended. We're not extended. You can see the market's had some nice pullbacks here. Nice pullbacks that you could have done to go long, because that's a direction to play this in here. That is the correct direction to be in with this market. And I'm actually not even surprised. Three o'clock here, spy is a 192.48. I wouldn't have passed the market to possibly get to 193 before the close here even today. That sounds crazy. But the market looks like it's breaking out here in the daily chart. It looks like it wants to go higher here even into the close Friday afternoon and the market looks like it's going to make one more push into the close here in the next hour of the day. I mean, there's just no let up in this rally. Even though it hasn't been huge or an immense in something that you just take a trade-in and just rallies and power trends all day, the fact is this is a big show of strength for the market. A huge show of strength for the market. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten. Ten days up. Ten solid days up for the market. It's a beautiful show of strength here. And I have no idea what Monday brings. Probably gap up Monday. I mean, there's a chance we could gap down, but I wouldn't be surprised that we gap up. It's really going to depend how we close here today, how strong we close here today. A very strong close here today and Friday would mean a gap up, I think, or a neutral gap on Monday. If we close looking like this, where we're not really having some monster green bar, we still could have a neutral gap and rally again on Monday. Or we could have a small gap down. People are waiting to short this, and it doesn't make any sense. Everyone should be in it long. The move direction is higher. And you think we can't keep going. Of course we can. And even if we come in, and even if we gap down in money, and even if we trade down, we'll trade down into an air export, and then we'll just rally again. Because the market is not done rallying. I think we have a nice bullish year, this year in 2014. That's how the years have been shaping up. We've been very bullish. The trend has been holding. Even if we come in next week to this area, we're still going to turn around again and make another new high. The market is very strong. It's by made another new high today. That is not anything to short. Strength all over the place here. Lots and lots of bullishness. Know the bars aren't huge and giant mongous, but they're still very strong. And all these gap ups, just continuing themselves every day, is a real, real sign of strength. So we could actually rally here into the close. I have to say, time of the day is three o'clock. Market could make one more push attempt here into the close. And I just wouldn't be surprised if we have a number like 193 that we hit here into close. It was an hour left in the day. This market isn't going to sell off. And there's no reason for it to sell off. It doesn't want to sell off. It wants to keep getting bought. Anyways, this is Melissa with thestockswish.com. It is three o'clock on Friday afternoon. I hope everybody has a fantastic, wonderful, amazing weekend. Have a good one. Email me if you'd like more information on the next Golden Guide class, which is June 7th and June 8th at melissa at thestockswish.com. Thanks everybody. Have a great day.


All right, in this series of videos, we're going to shift back into hypothesis testing. And in particular, we're gonna focus on the one line tests that you can do to do all of the hypothesis testing that we learned in the previous lesson, but in just a single line. And while a lot of times we'll still want to do the randomization procedures, these one line tests can be a good way to check your answer because although they may be slightly different, a lot of times they should actually follow the same pattern as your randomization distribution. So let's go ahead and jump right in. So we're here in the code for hypothesis testing and in particular, I'm gonna focus on the hypothesis test for a single mean in this video. And so when we write our hypotheses, we say that mu equals, in this case, 6.1, the capacity. And then all our alternative is that mu is less than that. So in essence, we're gonna test whether or not wind actually met the capacity in during the Texas 2021 cold snap. And so in the previous lesson, we went through these steps. We shifted the data, we initialized the variable and we implemented this randomized random choice function where we set replace equal to true and focused on the shifted data. And then eventually we calculated the p-value as the proportion of data that was less than our original mean. And we got a p-value of zero, which leads us to reject the null hypothesis in favor of the alternative that the capacity of wind was less that the average wind was less than the capacity. And so this one-liner test, we're going to use a library, the stats library in Python and in particular, this library is the stat sci-pi stats which is the same library that we used when we were writing our normal or working with the normal distributions in the previous videos. And so in order to do the single mean hypothesis test, I'm gonna put the results into a variable called results. And we say stats.ttest underscore one, the number one sample. So effectively a one sample t-test. Then we give it our data, which is wind, which is the observed wind generation. We give it our population mean, which is what we expect. So this is our capacity in this case or whatever value you have set in the null hypothesis. And then we give it the alternative. And in this case, we specify the alternative as less, meaning that we are doing a test in which we're looking at less than, we're using a left-tailed test. And then to actually see the p-value, we can just say results.pvalue at the end. And so we can run this and we can see that the p-value is still less than our significance level. It's very, very close to zero. But as what often happens in these one-liner tests that is more specific. So instead of just saying zero, we've got quite a few digits, but still very, very, very close to zero given the e to the negative seven. And this is a very common result when we're using these one-liners and comparing them to randomization procedures because what this one-liner test is actually doing is conducting that same randomization procedure that we went over, but with a lot more data. And so essentially it does something very similar to this, but instead of being a thousand is maybe a million, 10 million. It essentially generates a lot more iterations which allow it to become a lot more specific in the results.


Let's talk about money and investing. Wouldn't it be nice to not have to worry about the ups and downs of whatever, wherever you invest your money, whether it's cryptocurrency or stocks and bonds or even real estate, right? So, four and a half years ago, almost five years ago, I wrote a piece that I will link to below this video about why I don't like cryptocurrency investing in it. And I encourage you to read it. And I recently revisited it and I'm like, I still agree. Now, I have to say I have family members who are very much into crypto and friends and clients who are very much into it. So, I wanna tread lightly here. And I'll just say that I still don't invest in crypto. Not really. I think I have like $500 US dollars total. Last few years I invested in Bitcoin, especially recently with a huge downturn. But I still, it's a gamble. I look at it as gambling. Yes, I think cryptocurrency is, and some way that people invest in stocks and other things are basically gambling. I mean, I said, well, crypto. George, I only invest in the crypto that has some use to it, some utility and it'll be able to build project and things. Okay, really, all right. How is it going? Did you just start yesterday? Or have you been around for several years? And I mean, again, it's like some people make it work. Others just learned it's a good skill to learn to deal with the ups and downs. There's good emotional regulation there. But I think that just think about all the time. And for those who are doing crypto stuff, just think about all the time and energy that goes into learning that stuff and watching the charts. And all that time and energy could have been done something else that's even more valuable. So I wanna talk about that today in this video. The best investment for life is not in any smart financial instrument. The best investment for life is in your own monetizable skills. That's the best financial investment. I'd say the best spiritual investment is in your personal growth and all that's involved in there and that. But the best financial investment for life is in your own monetizable skills. Because when you, let me explain, not just in your own skills because you might be learning some skills that are not going to be monetizable in a few years. And so you always have to keep up with what is monetizable now. Well, how do you know what people will pay you for now? Well, you try, you put a lot of different things out there and you try. So let me explain what I mean by monetizable skills, right? So first of all, actually before I get there, I wanna briefly review my basic rules of personal finance. There's only just four quick rules I wanna share with you. One is to spend less than you earn. And there is one exception which is when you're starting a business, you have no job income. That's a unique situation but you still have to be really careful not to be spending way more than you're earning which brings us to the second rule. We just always keep a buffer of money for living expenses. So which gives you enough time to get a job if you need to. So let's say you're confident about getting an acceptable job in three months that will pay all your bills. Then you just need three months of financial buffer. Please do not eat into your life savings to build your business. It's, that's not a good idea. You really should be building your business out of play money, money that you don't mind losing. That's the money you should be spending into buying my courses, into buying Facebook ads, Instagram ads, not your retirement savings. Please, please, please don't do that. So that's the second rules. Always don't, never touch, I should have added this rule but never touch your retirement savings, number one. But number two, don't always keep a buffer for living expenses. Number three is with the extra money. If you have any extra money that you earn beyond your three months, six month buffer you pay off the highest interest debt first because high interest debt is like a reverse investment. Think about it. If something is, you have credit card debt and it's taking you 10% a year in debt interest, that's like if you had taken the same money and invested in a 10%, it's like you're losing, it's like you took that money, you invested it in investment and it's taking 10% from you, from your own bank every year. It's crazy. So please pay off your high interest debt first before buying anything from me or any other business coach or marketing sales person that you encounter. And number four, never borrow money unless it's for your mortgage, that's acceptable. But unless it's a house you're living in, please do not borrow any money. So anyway, those are my four basic rules of personal finance and I apologize as some of you are already like in despair. So take some deep breaths. You're going to, now that you know these four rules, just do your best to climb yourself out of the hole if you are in one. I hope you're not, but take baby steps, that's how we climb ourselves out of debt, et cetera. So let me now get into what I think the best investments are. I'm not gonna talk about crypto, stocks and bonds. I'll just give you one single tip. If I were to give you one tip on actual financial investing, it would be to invest in the total stock market. Vanguard's a good way to go. Fidelity's fine too. Charles Schwab, whatever you wanna do is fine. But invest in the total index fund of the total stock market, weighed more heavily towards US stocks. And maybe something like 70, 30 US stocks to world stocks, non-US stocks. But if you do that, studies have shown that you'll do better than most hedge funds and mutual fund managers just by doing that because it's like more than half, it's like something like 70% of the smartest, Wharton train, the most, the smartest schools, they come out of smart schools, they know how to analyze all this stuff. 70% of them, the mutual fund managers don't do as well as the S&P 500 or the total stock market. Basically, S&P 500 is very similar to the total US stock market. So just put your money into the index fund of a total stock market and you'll do better than 70% of the smartest financial managers out there. Done. Crypto, you can play with it. That's a gamble. You could do it as a hobby if you want to, but please don't invest your life savings into crypto. I think it's quite dangerous and who knows what the future is gonna be like. So now let's talk, I still think what I'm about to say is really the best financial investment which is in your own monetizable skills. So let me list what three monetizable skills are that are worth putting your money. Again, if you have life savings already, don't touch it, but in the new money that you earn that's beyond paying off high interest debt and living expense buffer, the rest of that play money or disposable income should go into the following three. Number one, your core craft that people are willing or love to pay you for. Some of the things, to be honest, right? We have some skills that people just aren't willing to pay for because they can easily get it for free elsewhere or it's just not in demand. But notice among your skills, the things that you love to do, the things you love to study, things you love to provide services for, what do people love to pay you for? Some kind of consulting, healing, coaching, some kind of service, some kind of freelance service that people love paying you for, what is that? And you could comment below if you want to start getting the conversation going and if more of us comment below, we can help each other with ideas. So comment below among all the skills that you provide that maybe you've sold some of those skills, some of the skills you haven't sold, what do people most love paying you for? What aspect of your healing services? What aspect of your coaching or consulting or freelance services to people love paying you for? Because that, if you invest more money into getting even better at that, that slice of your skill set, not all of it, because sometimes you study things and you pay for training programs and you take courses and go to retreats and stuff for things that people don't want to pay you for. They're just really, really hard to get people to pay you for it. You've tried, right?  What are the three areas you can apply your healing or coaching to that people most want to pay for? Comment below if you'd like to, and it'll be helpful for others just to see your ideas. And who knows, you might get a client or two from your comments below. So what do people love paying you for based on how you apply your skills, okay? That's number one, invest more money in getting good at that. Because if people love paying you for, chances are people will, especially when it comes to healing, coaching or consulting, these kinds of things cannot be replaced by artificial intelligence anytime soon. It takes too much human touch and human creativity and presence and intuition and spirit led, you know, beingness for robots and AI, which we really should be concerned about because that's gonna take a lot of jobs, but sort of spirit led, intuitive, creativity, beingness with a client, that's gonna be very, very hard. It's gonna be decades before AI gets close to replacing that. So of all these skills, what are people most enjoying paying you for? Comment below, that's number one, invest more of your time, money and energy into getting good at those tiny slices of skills that you're already seeing people love paying you for. Okay, that's number one. Number two, monetizable skill is your ability to be joyfully productive. It is a whole suite of skills. Now, I'm biased here because I have been working on that for decades and it's changed my life so much. It's made me into, if you've seen me, if you follow people always say, George, you're extremely productive. You're able to put so many products and programs out there and still respond in a timely way to emails and be balanced with your life and rest and play. Like how do you do it? Well, it's joyful productivity and most entrepreneurs, most business owners, most service providers are terrible. I've seen, I mean, what I've seen as I just, you know, people start working with me. Most people are really bad at joyful productivity. They're bad at time management. They're bad at energy management. They're bad at managing information and clutter and overwhelm. My email inbox is zero. Right now it's at zero. It's zero at most days. Yes, my email inbox is not at 85,000, which I know some of your email inboxes, but it's at zero, at least several times a week. I've responded to all the emails and, you know, and so it's, if you can improve your skills of joyful productivity, you will rise above most people in your industry, most people in your field, really, because most people are really terrible at it. So, well, and then I am biased because I actually teach the stuff now. So, but I teach it because I believe in it and my students who learn it can see that the difference it's making in their ability to excel in their industry. So number one was your core craft that people are willing to pay for among all the skills. And number two is the skills of joyful productivity, which has about 24 that I've kind of listed out, but anyway, you can start with my articles about joyful productivity. If you're interested, I have a joyful productivity course that, you know, goes into all of these 24 skills. So number two, number three, number three, very monetizable skill is your ability to grow a true fan audience. In other words, your skills of authentic marketing. So let me explain more about this. So imagine you get to a point in your life when you need a lot of support financially and just maybe physically or all of us will, right? At some point in our life, need a lot of that kind of support. How can you be supported when you are down and out, when you are really needing help? The one asset that can be most counted on is a community of people who love you, right? Because with a community of people who love you, all your problems that these physically are solved, they can send you money, right? Donate, go fund me, whatever, right? They can send you money. They can send you tools or items that you need. They come and visit you and physically support you if needed. So this is what I hope for everyone who is watching this is like, I want you to have a community of true fans from around the world because then you could move to somewhere cheaper and still have true fans there, right? Like a community around the world that has benefited so much from what you have put out there over the years, all the content and the offers and your presence and your care over the years that when you need help, they come to your aid. That's better than just having money. Sure, having money is nice because you can hire people but who knows what's gonna happen to money, right? In the future, right? As we all, right now when I'm recording this, we're at record high inflation in the U.S. and many parts of the world. Right now as I'm recording this, the stock market has been crashing for six months or cryptocurrency just went through a giant crash.  But what we know will always be true is that when you have a community of people who love you, a large community worldwide who love you, you'll never be in want. Think about some of your heroes who are still alive today.  Who have a lot of friends. It's like they'll never be in want whenever they need help. You can just, hey, folks, I need, I can't pay rent this month. Can anybody help? I mean, if Brene Brown literally said that, she would have millions in donations like overnight. Do you see what I mean? Like, we all, that's the most reliable asset that we can invest in is our own audience. So, which means if you get good at authentic marketing, which I write and talk so much about authentic marketing is the skill of knowing how to explore and communicate your passions and your intuitions and your experiences, right? Alongside doing that while you're also serving the audience, serving the audience without always trying to, you know, every post you're trying to sell them on something. No, just serving them while you're exploring the most important values and experiences and passions and interests that you have. And skills that you have. And that intersection is authentic marketing. And the more you learn how to communicate and do all these things, the more, guess what? You grow a true fan audience, but number two, you become more authentically powerful, right? Whether it's on video or it's in writing, you just become more authentically powerful as you keep doing authentic marketing and grow an audience. And, you know, you'll be set for life because no matter how you're doing financially, if you have a true fan audience, you can always create and sell something and they'll buy it. Or you can recommend someone else's product that you believe in and they'll buy that and you get commissions from it. Or you can simply ask your audience for financial support. I mean, an audience is the most reliable, I guess, if you wanna say asset or, you know, security blanket that one can have. You know, not the government, right? Not even stocks and bonds or crypto or even money in the bank these days with the inflation, but it's a community of people who really have benefited so much from you over the years that they feel indebted to you, they would be happy to support you if you were asked for it, which is why authentic marketing is so important. And part of that is I invest a lot, invest a lot in ads, Facebook, Instagram ads, LinkedIn ads to continue building out that audience of true fans. So I feel like ads are a really good place to put your money, especially these days with inflation and with everything else, ad dollars is really smart investment because it grows your audience and it grows your future security. So I hope this is helpful and give you some food for thought. Thank you for joining me. Thank you for being part of my audience. I think a lot of you know me well by this point. Some of you are maybe watching me for the first time or you're new and welcome to you. So as always, you feel free to comment below. Any questions, if there's quick questions, I'll do my best to answer, but certainly share your reflections for others who are watching to be encouraged by it and to get some ideas. So thank you so much. See you in the next video.


Hey guys it's Nate AK the foot accountant welcome back to the channel yesterday we asked the question is footies slowing down today the answer to that question is yes and we're saying that footies is in the mud this content is slowing down big time as a part of this promo it really really seems like EA's trying to hold things out and make things I guess seem like the game is coming to an end which in reality it is but we will see later on this week if that sometimes in the second week of a promo I know this is the very end of FIFA and I'm probably reading into it too much but a lot of times when they slow something down right before the end of a promo it usually means there's something coming after it but again it's the end of August if there's only if there's anything coming after this it's got to be FIFA 22 related like a pre-season type promo and even then there's not that much longer left in the game so we're kind of still thinking about that potentially going to have that later on this week but there's a couple things today on Wednesday to look out for specifically the showdown SBC right here this game between the MLS All-Stars and the Liga MX All-Stars I know some of you guys might not care about too much but this Nani SBC card if the MLS All-Stars do end up winning today of course the winner gets a plus two again I don't think there's a draw potential here it's they'll play to penalties if it has to so it's it's going to be a plus two upgrade for whoever is the winner either for Nani or Jinyak of course they are both 95 rated just imagine a plus two on this already overpowered Nani SBC I mean you get plus two and all those stats maxed out dribbling I mean this card is going to look insane as it already is so I'm kind of hoping selfishly uh that the I mean it's go this goes against everything right because I'm from the United States I like the MLS but I'm kind of hoping that my boy Big Mac Gignac gets the upgrade right because I'm a big fan of Jinyak who we call Big Mac Gignac this is way back uh reference right there but uh I'm kind of hoping that he doesn't get the upgrade I think that'd be super cool either way though we're gonna have a nice card more people more of you guys will probably be more excited if Nani would go to a 97 that update should take place by by the weekend right so if you wanted to use them as a super sub in the weekend you would be able to do that but inside of footage let's talk about a few more things yesterday obviously we had another close call SBC but it's not the one that we wanted we're still looking for the Marciel man and I think Marciel is coming just where the frick is he right EA sports quit delaying just drop the SBC a lot of French cards recently by the way I mean you think about Sasoko you think about Kante now we have Umtiti here another French item Umtiti is the SBC that we got medium medium is not the best but this card looks pretty good and it's not that expensive it's coming in on footbin just around 200 000 coins um possibly a shade under that uh right away but now it's it's kind of risen up just a tiny bit as more and more people are doing SBCs and there's no supply that's a big part of what's going on in this game right now there's no pack supply tradable uh for sure no pack supply they took away uh promo packs again they're they're literally gone there's even there's no promo pack section inside of the store but 1500 upvotes 600 downvotes this obviously has some hype just because it is a French centerback right French centerbacks always have a place in this game especially La Liga links links to Varan you know you link to a nice Ramos to a militao to you know a lot of those other Barcelona players that are in a lot of people's defenses at the moment in FIFA Jordi Alba gets a nice link to him so that Umtiti today it did move the militao and Varan cards a little bit I believe Militao shows right now in about 375 000 coins I think he dropped down a slight bit yeah he went from 38390 down to the 350s and is back up to 370 I believe that Varan dropped a slight bit as well he's 496 I don't know how low he actually got but he was above 500 yeah he was 530 went down to 470 and is now back up to 500 so a slight bit of a drop on some of those other La Liga centerbacks but I just think there wasn't as much hype around this Umtiti SBC decent card not too insane but we also had a nice little dynamic image update for Jesse Lingard which is nice makes the card look pretty good there as well so that was a nice little update I think that was just at an off random time this evening heading into Wednesday that they did that so that was nice to see right there on the Lingard SBC they also re-released the 88 plus and I actually was doing a few of these today with you know basically some of the high ratings that I was packing I would rinse them in and out and you know doing some 82 pluses into the 88 plus player pick if you're really trying to grind the 82 to 88 is technically good value if you get nine rears on bid that's pretty cheap if you're trying to craft multiple multiple SBCs but one of the big things about today is there's a lot of stuff that is expiring Vidra last week on Wednesday was a pretty big day right you remember the silver stars basically the free 125 k-pack I believe that was all released either last Wednesday or Thursday that was released but a lot of stuff is expiring Vidra Mendez the 87 times 10 is a big one that is expiring today and I would not be surprised if this does not get re-released I think since they re-released it already this one's probably gonna go away and it's gonna stay away we'll have the 88 plus and the 82 plus regular player picks still available but I think that SBC is gonna be one that goes away today I think there's a couple other ones as well loudly guitars challenge that's not a really big one actually that might be it that might be it unless there's something I've already completed that would be expiring as well but maybe like the 91 times 5 or the 92 player pick one of those might be going away as well but the big ones the 87 times 10 so if you guys are crafting those and grinding those you have a last few hours to complete that one and hopefully when this goes away since this is really a lot of our demand this this is why we have so much demand for some of those 81 2 and 3 rated cards hopefully when this goes away if it does you'll see some of these cards maybe drop down a little bit but again if there's continual SBCs that are out what's really going to make them drop because there's not much demand they'll probably drop a little bit but we need some packs apply e-sports the preview packs were actually helping out this market a lot more than we realized because they were actually supplying the mark did they just add these literally earlier today there were no promo packs in the store what the world that's random that is very random so something's going on with promo packs because today at 6 p.m there were no promo pack there was not even a tab here like these were literally gone so I'm kind of interested to see why maybe these got added back in but we'll keep an eye on that again but the big thing is no preview packs right we haven't had preview packs in a while and that just really means not a lot of supply is coming to this market sometimes they drop a tradable supply SBC but that really doesn't impact the market very much anyway because with non-rares and some of the rare golds being inflated right now it's not even worth it to go into here and try to do an 80 rated SBC just to get a gold players pack right it's not worth your coins not worth the time to be grinding that just with how expensive those cards are at the moment so a couple other things just to kind of keep an eye out for there's still some rumors out there right there's still some rumors about some objectives about some players that could be released still as a part of the footies promo I'm still hoping for a couple more player SBCs we had them titty but again with things slowing down it doesn't seem very likely but I'm still hoping for a few more cards like that mars y'all maybe like this the sea loss SBC or another footies favorite from like june or something who knows but one player that has been rumored to be dropping through objectives there's actually a couple players but one that is the most likely I'm hearing is bellerin Hector bellerin of course had the milestone card earlier this year which a lot of people remember and it is rumored that that card will be getting a footies item soon through objectives so that's kind of one thing to watch out for and also this man right here a lot of people are hoping that furlan mendy gets a footies card because if you think about all of the super meta or some of the most meta cards that we have had this year in FIFA 21 we had in a tall we had an adama we have had a renato sanchez and mendy is like one of those last cards that we haven't had yet that we kind of hope to see get a special item so I think we're really hoping to see a mendy today or maybe not today but as a part of footies but I feel like that's kind of like a last chance grasp if you will they're very small potential for that and if they're going to drop it as an objective or an sbc time is running out right because footies ends on Friday veron is also one of those some people are saying there's going to be a veron mendy dynamic duo even though veron is now in manchester uned I don't know I honestly don't know we're kind of like just clutching at straws to be completely honest for some of this content but definitely right now this is the end game man I told the twitch stream earlier today while we were streaming I said hey this week is probably going to be like the last week that I'm really grinding FIFA 21 so I'm going all out man I'm probably going to end up this week with like less than 100,000 coins I'm going to be doing I've been doing 88 plus player picks 82 plus player picks my last shot and packing a 99 rated card earlier today on stream I packed this militao which was very nice I finished off the ginyak the 90 sbc the ranato sanchez sbc I finished off these cards and I also was able to pack a militao from an 88 plus and I packed the kiesa as well so try not a couple of these cards again just try to give my 99 messy some playtime as well trying to enjoy this end game squad that I have with all the insane players right it's it's hard it's hard to make a team right now in FIFA because there's just so many great players that are out and it's hard to link them all together so I know some of you guys are you know going through the same thing but that's just kind of the state of the game for me at this time I mean especially taking some time off over the next two weeks starting on next week I know I haven't talked a lot about that but I'll be taking a little bit of a time off as I'm getting married and obviously not going to be around right after that so there's going to be some stuff I'm going to be posting some uploads on the channel that I'm recording ahead of time some like FIFA 21 year in review type stuff you know like a club tour and stuff like that so be on the lookout for that kind of content but I also wanted to give you guys a little bit of a heads up on that and that's another reason why I'm really trying to submit a lot of my coins into these sbcs this week because for me especially for how my schedule looks and taking a little bit of time off before FIFA 22 starts this is literally the last few days last end game um this is the end game for me inside of this game so that's why I'm really trying to spend my coins and you know take my last shot at packing a 99 rated card while they are still in packs so again just looking forward into the week though a little bit more if we see any sort of like if the content continues to be pulled back today you know usually on the Wednesdays we expect a footies vote right we haven't had a footies vote on Monday to get an sbc today not expecting one of those I would expect a player sbc today you would think um but again with just the stuff that they've been was released yesterday the 88 plus that they released they set it to expire on Friday so it really seems like Friday is a big cutoff day and I think maybe Thursday if we that would be like the day to maybe expect a loading screen if they were gonna do some sort of like preseason or I don't know what they would call it but like you know a transfer not a transfer promo maybe a transfer promo or like something to kind of transition into FIFA 22 I'm not sure if they're gonna do anything along those lines of course we're watching the we're watching the code there's anything that's added into the code today then potentially that type of pack could come out today but I'm not expecting a big day of content unless EA surprised us with something really seems like they're trying to pull the reins back make it kind of quiet right now in this last stage of the game you know let you grind the sbcs that you want to grind you can still do packs right now there's a lot of stuff there these 82 plus player picks are low key fire a lot of fodder available a lot of high rated cards being packed from these from a lot of people that I've seen a lot of them we have opened so it definitely is like the last chance to have a lot of fun in this game but I don't think the game is quite over yet because again icon swaps for we have new tokens that will be grindable through objectives later on icon swaps I believe yeah five days 15 hours until the new ones come next Monday so I'm really curious to see what happens with this and if EA tries to like still have a promo going on while icon swaps is going on or not so that's this is probably the number one place where I'm I guess interested I'm six out of 15 and the rivals matches so I think I'm going to give this week and we could go probably not going to finish it all the way but at least have a last opportunity to play in some foot jams games gotta play some rivals though to get those points up so that's kind of what's going on with me and my account a little bit of an update there it's seeing my team and stuff again you'll see some tweets I know I keep talking about this but FIFA 21 endgame teams get yours ready probably at the end of this week I'm going to post post some tweets and say hey show me your endgame squads and I will compile some of those if you want me to and feature your squad in one of the videos on the channel to see how your grind has gone this year right so I love that I'd love to see how much you guys have progressed this year and see what kind of awesome teams and achievements you have achieved in this game that we do at an elite level right spending a lot of extra effort and awareness on the market where a lot of people don't but that allows us to excel and have teams like the ones that we have so that's a video for today boys again it really feels like footage is slowing down but it makes sense because it is late august if you did enjoy it smash the thumbs up on it again comment down below if you have any questions and subscribe if you do it's beneath photo count I will catch you guys later peace


We want to, as Native Americans, we want to pay respect to our Native American ancestors that lived here on this ground that we are all at today. So I'm going to sing a song to my mother's request. This song is a very old song. We don't know how old it is because no one knows its origin. But it's a song to the ancestors, and so I'm going to ask you all to stand, or those that can stand. We don't know how old it is because no one knows its origin. But it's a song to the ancestors that lived here on this ground that we are all at today. mi taku yeop wanik dacha ho ka peya che wa kye lo yo wei wa kant kan ka tro ka peya che wa kye lo yo wei wa kant kan ka tro ka peya che wa kye lo yo wei mi taku yeop wanik dacha tro ka peya che wa kye lo yo wei wa kant kan ka tro ka peya che wa kye lo yo wei mi taku yeop wanik dacha tro ka peya che wa kye lo yo wei


Item █ SCP-343 Object Class Safe Special Containment Procedures SCP-343 resides in a 6.1 meter by 6.1 meter, or 20 feet by 20 feet room, at minimal security site 17. It should be brought any items at request and visited by at least one staff member each day. Attempts to add further safety precautions or required clearances are unnecessary or impossible due to the nature of SCP-343. See description Description SCP-343 is a male, seemingly raceless, humanoid and appearance with apparent omnipotence. SCP-343 was discovered walking the streets of Praeg and detained after a staff member witnessed him disappear from the streets and reappear on a rooftop. SCP-343 is detained willingly in his chamber, as containment has proven impossible. D-Notes Addendum █-343-1 SCP-343, colloquially nicknamed God by the staff here, looks like an older man, although his features are different to each observer. In my first talk with him, he claimed outright to be the creator of the universe. When I asked him to prove this, he laughed, walked through the wall of the chamber, and returned seconds later with a hamburger in his hand. When I returned for a second visit, the previously bare cell had been furnished in upscale Old English style, complete with a roaring fireplace, and seen many times larger than it did from the exterior. SCP-343 greatly enjoys speaking with people, and seems to have a knowledge of all topics. Visiting with SCP-343 has become a daily event for many of the staff here, and all employees report feeling generally happier through each visit. With the bar staff below level 3 clearance have proven unsuccessful, as guards assign to watch the room quit their posts, saying, you know he likes company, or shrugging when questioned. Since SCP-343 has thus far been harmless, all staff have been allowed access, and somehow they all have time to meet with him for as long as they need. For now, I'll leave this report open as further questioning of SCP-343 is ongoing. Dr. Beck Warning, Security Level 4 or higher needed for further access. Addendum Number 343-2 In regards to Document 343-1A, there are no relevant records available or seemingly in existence and, similarly, all records of Dr. ██████ ever working with SCP-343 or Dr. Beck are missing and presumed non-existent. All staff questioned about the document convey ignorance of Document Number 343-1A and claimed not to have met, Dr. ██████. In a related matter, Senior Officer Dr. Beck has requested a higher staff rotation to increase morale in worse off sections. This is a very odd request and was the subject of further investigation. Other localized anomalies such as better health, greater job satisfaction, and lower fatalities in this section have led to the request being granted. This subject is now closed on orders of ██████. Document Number 343-3 Data recovered on ██████ from routine check of Dr. ██████ Network Drive Document Number 343-1A Data lost as of data expunge, visitors of SCP-343 are to be questioned as to their intent and conversation. Data lost, questions pertaining to other SCP are to be put forth. Data lost, orders of Dr. ██████. Document Number 343-1B Data lost, apparently my orders have gone missing. This is the last straw of Dr. ██████ data lost. All my reports and requests to higher-ups have gone unnoticed. I will confront SCP-343 tomorrow, signed Dr. ██████.


The early evolution of archisauromorphs during the Permotriassic period provides an excellent case study for understanding how life recovered from a mass extinction event. However, the phylogeny of these animals has been difficult to determine due to the lack of reliable fossil evidence. This study used a large dataset of 96 different taxa and 600 osteological characteristics to create a comprehensive higher-level phylogenetic hypothesis of basal archisauromorphs. The results suggest that Praterosuchia is polyphyletic, with erythrosuchids being more closely related to Euparcheria and more crown-walled archosauriforms than to Praterosuchids. Several species are also found widely distributed across the archosauromorph tree, including the bizarre genus Van Clevia. Additionally, the study suggests that phytosaurs are more closely related to Pseudosuchians than previously thought. This article was authored by Martín D. Escura.
