We demystify what goes on behind the therapy room door. Join us on this voyage of discovery and co-creative conversations. This is The Therapy Show, behind closed doors podcast, with Bob Cook and Jackie Jones. So welcome back to the next episode. We're up to episode 31, which is interesting. I know we're cracking through these of The Therapy Show behind closed doors with myself, Jackie Jones and Bob Cook. So here we go, what we're going to be talking about, because it's coming up to New Year. Hopefully we've all enjoyed the festivities. I think it's worth just mentioning, Bob, at this point, that these are pre-recorded, so we don't know what's happening in the world as we stand because of the new variant and one thing and another, what's actually going on. So I just wanted to make that note, but hopefully we've had a Christmas of some sort or another, and we're in between Christmas and New Year. We thought we'd do a little bit about maybe New Year's resolutions. Okay, so let's go ahead then. So you can start then, if you wish, and then I'll carry on. Yeah, I think it's worth mentioning for me. I don't really do New Year's resolutions. I've got this thing that if I have a New Year's resolution, I usually break it, so I tend to look more outside the box at maybe rules to live my life as opposed to New Year's resolutions, if that makes sense. Gosh, well, I'd be really interested to hear them. Well, I do it probably every New Year on my therapy stuff, so there's things around not taking on other people's problems as my own and not comparing myself to others and what's one of the other ones. There's another one that I quite like. Some people like them and some people don't, so it all depends whereabouts you're coming from. Make peace with your past so it doesn't cock up your present is one of the new ones that I had last year. So I'm not sure what your thoughts are. Do you have New Year's resolutions? Well, I look at more from a clinical base. As you do more things, Bob. Yeah, I mean, I can make resolutions, I suspect, but most of them I break or I don't really. I suppose I don't really take it that seriously, really, but with my clients I used to. It's kind of like new beginnings at this time of the year, isn't it? We kind of try to have a bit of a clear out and let go of things of the past and start a new for some reason. Yeah, so I tend to, clinically, I used to talk to people about what did they want in terms of let's put it into New Year's Resolution categories, but most important, I used to really consider, I think, on how they may stop themselves reaching that goal. Interesting. Rather than focusing on the outcome. Yeah. So I would be far more interested in how you might sabotage yourself reaching those goals. So if one of them was for, I can't remember what you said, Jackie, but let's just say one of them is to be kind to yourself, for example, then I would be concentrating on what the person is doing to stop themselves being kind on themselves. And usually, what it is, is a parent narrative they got in their head, because they don't really see as their own, but it actually comes from somewhere else. So what we tracked down is how does a person sabotage themselves? You know, so if they're hard on themselves, which really usually comes from somewhere else anyway, is what can we do so the person changes that process from being hard on themselves, so they actually hear themselves so they can be kind on themselves. And usually it's a parental process that they're getting in touch with. Yeah. Usually. Yeah. It's usually in transaction analysis terms, it's usually the dynamic between the child ego state and the parent ego state. So if we can identify that process and say put the parent on a chair or a cushion and put the younger self, which is usually what it's about with the client onto another cushion and to get them to talk to each other, we can find out what the dialogue is, which is the center of the drama of how come they aren't kind on themselves. Yeah.  You don't matter how can you be kind of all sorts of things. So the dialogue between the child and the parents is really important when we're looking at the saboteur process, which stops them being kind on themselves. If we pick that as an example. Yeah. It's funny. I've been talking quite a lot with clients, not necessarily about the parent child internal dialogue, but how the child ego state or how the child copes with certain things. You know, often I'm finding my clients being quite critical of their child as opposed to being compassionate and, you know, the adult that they are today being compassionate with the experiences of that earlier child. And rather than beating it up, kind of giving it a metaphorical hug, so to speak. Yeah. But see, I don't think it's the adult. I think when you're working as a transactional analyst, the first question you need to ask yourself is what ego state are we addressing? And I think it's the parent ego state and not the adult ego state. So what you need to do, I believe, is get hold of the original parent the toxic message. And then the child needs to, with the help of the therapist in terms of protection, take on the toxic parent to give themselves new permissions and new decisions to integrate with the adult to be different. Okay. Is that clear? Yeah, yeah, it is. I'm just wondering if what happens if the person's relationship with the actual adult wasn't the best, which a lot of that happens. But if there was some trauma that happens. I don't think it's the adult we're talking about. If we think of the adult's ego state, thinking, feeling, behaving as the age you are, and there's no contaminations from the parent or the child, then I don't think we have a problem. I think the problem comes where there's an energetic overload with the parent into the adult ego state, or the child delusions or decisions from the past actually contaminate the adult. So I think what we often need to do when we're working in these areas is to do what they call in TA decontamination. So the adult is clear to make those decisions. And usually the work needs to be with the child ego state to resolve those contaminations because it's usually a double contamination, I think, from parent to adult and child to adult. Clear those up and then make a new decision to integrate into the adult. Yeah. Because it's very rarely to do with the adult. It's very rarely to do with the adult because the adults, if you're in the adult's state, you're thinking, feeling, behaving as the age you are. So for you to be in another ego state, there must be contamination. Okay. Yeah. So it's dealing with whatever the contamination is for the adult to be clear to make that new change. Which then will lead on to not self sabotaging or what's blocking them achieving their goals as in the New Year's resolutions. But I think you need to get the child ego state first to look at what was the sabotage. And once you've worked out with the sabotages, with the help of the therapist and the protection they offer, to then take it on in dialogue with the parent, which is usually where the contamination is, and then make a new decision, which gets integrated in the adult. So in other words, the child and the adult made that new decision. Yeah. It usually ends up with the actually truthful. It usually ends up with the therapist providing new permissions for the child to actually make a new decision in the adult. But they need the permissions from the parent because their original parent usually hasn't given them any permissions at all. Yeah. So when you're talking about putting the child on the cushion and the parent on the cushion, it's their own parent ego state. It's not their actual parent that's on the cushion. It's the parent ego state. It's the parent part of themselves that's having a conversation with the younger self. Yeah. Yeah.  Yes. Yeah. And I think that's for me where some of the crossover is if they've had an abusive relationship with a parent, that can be quite difficult. Very, very difficult. Yeah. This is where the therapist comes in, in providing protections and new permissions so the child can talk to the toxic parent, otherwise they'll stay withdrawn. Yeah. So often tonight, I think, let's recap, often to make new resolutions, we need to find out what the sabotage mechanism is. Then we need to help the child resolve the sabotage process, which usually is, I think, a dynamic between the child and the parent and then integrate it in the adult ego state with the help of the therapist. Yeah. And it's that integration that is the important part. Yeah. Yeah. I don't think this will happen without the protection of the therapist or the new permissions by the therapist. Yeah. So I'm all for resolutions, but I much prefer looking at how the client is sabotaged making new resolutions in the past. I'm working with the sabotages so the new resolutions can actually happen and be maintained. Yeah. Yes. It's an interesting thought. Yeah. Because as a therapist, we're always looking for the child's, you know, the sabotage, aren't we? So whatever decisions we're talking about, we just happen to be talking about new beginnings, which is true. But unless we look at the past and the problems in the past, how can we ever get to a new beginning? Yeah. Because the past is always going to drag the person back. So the resolution is in the past so the person can have a new beginning. Otherwise, it won't work. We can't just say, right, we'll just have a new beginning without looking. It will drag them back from the past. Yeah. So the walks in the past, even though the decision is a new beginning, in my opinion. Yeah. And I suppose there's, you know, work to be done around the client's awareness, around even the decisions that they made early on. Absolutely. I think there's awareness a lot of the time. So that's for me a lot of the work I do for them to realise that the decision was made very early on. They might not even have any recollection of that being a decision made. Absolutely. And I think you said in the last podcast, I don't want to get too depressing again, but I feel like I might be doing, that if you go to the A&E on New Year's Eve or even New Year's Day, you'll find more people being over, you know, dealing with overdoses than any other time of the year. So it's a very poignant sense of time, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. So to ask somebody to make new resolutions when they feel so triggered, isn't a straightforward process. You see, it is for me and you, and it is for lots of people, but when we're working clinically with clients who are particularly disturbed or based, New Year can often be a trigger. Once the New Year process becomes a trigger for the person to regress or go to a disturbed place, they'll enter a different ballgame and we have to look at the past, in my opinion, for us to go forward to a new beginning if you like. Yeah, because once we get to grips with that and we have an insight into our values and beliefs and those early decisions, that's where true change and transformation actually takes place. We can look at our environment, our behaviours and all those low level things and change might occur, but in my opinion it's going to be quite short lived. Whereas if we look at that deeper level of our values, beliefs, our upbringing and all those sorts of things and understand that we made a decision in the first place, so therefore we can make a new decision going forward. Even if those old decisions were Hobson decisions, in other words, they were Hobson's choice, it was out of surviving. 100%. Yeah, which is one of the things I always say to my clients, it's kind of like asking for life advice from a four-year-old. Yeah, and it's true. Yeah, I mean the amount of times I've done New Year therapy or whatever and the New Year process is so triggering, triggering. So you know, say I go and walk my dog around the park and I meet somebody and I say Happy New Year to them, or they'll say Happy New Year to me, that's very different from when I'm working clinically in a therapeutic group when I say Happy New Year, because that can really trigger them into a place which hasn't been happy for them. Yeah, which again, this is what piques my my curiosity with a lot of, you know, is the meaning that we all put on certain things is what's so unique to all of us. Happy New Year, walking your dog in the park is kind of perceived one way, whereas in a different situation or even the words Happy New Year, the client sees it through their reality in that moment and what's going on for them and it can completely derail them. If they've had a trauma based history, yeah, a lot of the clients I've got have had, then you know, in a therapeutic situation where we're dealing with the trauma, the Happy New Year or Happy Christmas or whichever way you want to look at this can trigger them into quite a traumatic episode. Yeah, so that, you know, re-decision work isn't just going to happen in one session around a year, that's a long process, yeah. But you may start the work, you may in fact get to a position where someone makes a new decision or a new resolution which they think they can keep, however you as a therapist know that you're going to keep revisiting that decision again. Yes, yeah. In my belief system, yeah, because to anchor a new re-decision in your adult needs a revisiting of that decision many times. Otherwise the danger is it becomes an adapted decision and if the person's making the decision from an adapted place and it won't last very well. No. It won't last very long at all. Yeah. If they're making the decision to please you, that's a great problem. Which again kind of I suppose that touches on what we've talked about in the past about the, you know, the Father Christmas Syndrome or whatever and if they're trying to say the right thing to the therapist from their adaptive child, then yeah, it's not in a line with what they truly want. Correct. Yeah. Oh, it's a bit of a mind field. It is because my top resolution would be to help people, especially clinically, perhaps to be kind to themselves. However, that whole process isn't going to happen in one therapy session. No. So, when you're talking about kindness, are you talking about self-care and prioritising yourself? And loving yourself, yes. Yeah. See, the conversations that I have sometimes, there's, you know, the sticking point or probably that internal parent is that that's selfish. Well, I'd rather have the word self-aware. Well, I say it's selfless rather than selfish. When we prioritise our self in a relationship or in life, it can be seen as quite self-indulgent. I don't know whether that's the way of thinking. Remember when I like to change the terminology, which I always do. And number two, if you get the parent on the cushion and start talking to the parent, you'll soon find out it's the parent which is selfish. Yeah. Yeah. Now, quite often you might get a parent which says, well, I want the best for my son or the best for my daughter. And then you can encourage them to give them new permissions so they can become more self-aware and perhaps take care of themselves. But you need to get hold of that parent psychologically I'm talking about. Yeah. Yeah. It's very interesting. It is all very deep rooted as well because the decisions that we made, we don't even realise that there was a decision made.     What happens eventually is the child changes the you to an I.   It's not until you start tracing it back can we get to this traumatic resolution? Yeah. And it's very difficult for some people to actually understand that there was a decision to be made. I think that's why I like transactional analysis and everything going back to the very early days where it's like, I'm okay, you're okay. Do you really think that? No, I like what that, Jackie, but I just want to go back to the first point. Do you really believe that? Do you really think that? Do you think that for most people, when they start reflecting on themselves, they find it hard to believe that a decision was made? Yeah. Well, Patrick, for my sake, because I don't think that, but we may think the same thing. So I'll be interested, perhaps it's the way we're thinking about this. Can you say more about that? Because you see, I think in my when people reflect, they come to my therapy room, they come because they believe there's something usually wrong with them, or they believe they're crazy, or they believe something is up. And as they start reflecting things, it isn't long before they start realizing or even say very quickly that I made a decision. Now, I think somewhere in that they are aware they make decisions. The problem isn't, the problem for me isn't that they aren't aware of they make decisions. The problem is whose decision is it? Who makes it?   That becomes part of their personality. And that's where I think you're correct. They don't then think of it as a decision or choice. They think it as a template. They've always been that way. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Always been that way. And one of the first steps in psychotherapy, I believe, is that the therapist needs to help the person. And this is where I think we might be talking about the same thing. Be aware that the decisions they take about themselves aren't often or usually themselves. It's actually comes from somewhere else. And then you just separate out. Once they start doing that, they can get better. Yeah. So perhaps we're talking about the same thing. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. The conversations I have are that we're all born okay, and then life. And in order to survive, we make certain decisions. If we look at the injunctions and things like that, do you know what I mean? It's about our very survival from a very young place that I need to please others.  I need to grow up quick, all these things. But ultimately, it was a survival decision that we made. I couldn't agree more, but perhaps you could just sort of illustrate a little bit more about what you mean by okay. So when you said you believe they were all born okay, we know, for example, in the Catholic religion, and we know actually in many other religions and belief systems, they certainly don't believe that. So can you say a little bit more about what you mean by okay? The way that I look at things that were born with a clean slate, the moment we enter the world. Okay. So it's diametrically opposite. Catholicism, which doesn't believe that at all, they believe were born into original sin. Yes. That's okay, by the way. I was just trying to clarify this for the listeners. Yeah. But again, you know, it's which way, I don't know, which side of the fence you're on. We all have a birth story. Do you know what I mean? When we're born, there's kind of a story around our birth, let's say. Or is it our parent's story? Well, yes, but it's kind of projected onto us that we are giving it, which is what I mean. The actual baby is born okay until it starts to have things introduced to it or projected. Let's take away the religious part of this, because my daughter, if she was listening to this one, of course, she says Jesus came along and took us in the humanity on the shoulders, X, X, X, X. So there are many religious belief systems, let's say Catholicism, we certainly agree with that. I actually follow the same belief systems as yourself. And I know Eric Byrne did, and that's the way that I operate and believe in from a psychotherapy point of view. And unfortunately, for lots of reasons, don't believe that. Yeah. And so I come from the same place as yourself. But I always feel very sad with the amount of humanity that doesn't believe that. Yes, yeah. For lots of reasons, by the way. Religion is a big one. Yes, my sister, I'm not sure whether she listens to these podcasts and I don't think I'm breaking confidentiality or anything. But my sister went through a phase of being a born-again Christian. And it was very difficult for us as a family, because it was kind of like a bit of a cult, really. You know, there was an awful lot of fear around it. And I can remember for my dissertation on, you know, at the Manchester Institute, I looked at her and how what part religion plays in certain things about, you know, being a father figure and all those sorts of things. Oh, really interesting. I found it really interesting. Yeah. I like a lot of, you know, you know, so that's what I meant by just to say a little bit more about what you see as okay. And I've very much in the same ballpark as you. Good. So we agree on something. And I also agree with what you said about the role of the parental influence. Yes. And it starts from day one. Or even before. Quite possibly. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. A lot of the latest fetus research about the nine months in the womb and the way that the baby is talked to right before birth. Yeah. There's a lot of research on the effects of that. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. For example. I don't know whether this is a bit random. And I think we're probably going off topic now. But I think I even read somewhere or heard something about survivors of the Holocaust, you know, generationally, their children, you know, had issues around food and they were related back to that. Whether that's a genetic sequencing thing that takes place. It's astounding really. Yeah. Very interesting that. So how are we getting on with our resolution? We've covered everything. So. So, yes. Do you do new year's resolutions, Bob, to finish up? Is that something that you do every year? Or do you look at how you sabotage things maybe? Yeah. I look at how I always sabotage them and how I usually sabotage them. So I might make one to be kind of myself. And I try and keep that. But there's huge narratives inside me from my own history with sabotages that. And I think through my own therapy and things over the years, I maintain that resolution longer than I used to do. Well done. Yeah. Even when you were saying that, being kind to yourself, there was something here for me, which is that parental part of me. I know that kind of just I can feel it bracing when I hear people saying things like that. And especially, I think for me personally, under stress, stressful situations, I'm more likely to go to a place or could go to a place where I'm not kind on myself particularly. What I'm happier over the years, by the way, is that I get away quicker from that place than I used to. That's what I found. It's not that I don't get triggered. It's not that I don't go there, but I don't tend to stay there very long. I notice it and then I can step out of it. Yeah. So that's pretty good resolution. So when I say card on ourselves, perhaps there needs to be some sort of loophole in that or not loophole, but I don't want to be perfect to actually people over to give people the amount of people that could give themselves a hard time for not actually meeting their resolution, the paradoxical in itself and what we're talking about. I think that's why I don't make them. It's like dry January. I don't drink. I don't like drink. You know, birthdays, celebrations, the odd one. But if I said I was going to do dry January, I know I'd want to drink. There's the rebellious kid in me that comes out. So there's a lot in making resolutions, isn't there? Psychologically. Yes. Yeah. Very interesting. So what are we going to do next time, Bob? Because we've got a great big long list and I'm quite interested in maybe covering the rise of online therapy or how to work with people who have intrusive thoughts. I think those are two really points. So which one would you like to do next? I'll go with whatever you choose. How about looking at the rise in online therapy as we go into the new year and seeing how that works? Because you're just touching on that. I know that you are seeing clients face to face. I'm still not seeing clients face to face in real life. I don't see people clinic anymore, but certainly at the Institute where there's 15 or 16 therapists, they all work face to face. But I'd love to talk about the rise of online therapy. I have a lot to say about it. Me too. Text therapy. What's that about? Don't tell me down that line, but I'm happy to talk about the year. I think that one might be a long episode when we do that one, Bob. Yeah, we could perhaps text, but I understand what you mean. Yeah. So until the next time, thank you so much and happy new year. Good. And you. See you soon. Bye bye. Bye.


Question is from twin sanity fitness. What are some tips for mental exhaustion from the gym? Oh boy change your focus change your goals or get out of the gym and do something outside Yeah, go outside man.  That's one of the best ways I've ever found to keep myself motivated was to change the focus from you know strength to maybe Endurance or mobility or to jiu-jitsu or something else Yeah one of my favorite things to do is to take kettlebells and bring them outside and and do things outside in nature and You know, I've been able to take a may spell and like you said the Olympic rings and things to hang over like tree branches and Just that new environment new stimulus like creates a whole new spark Which then you know like inevitably the novelty of that will kind of wear off You'll find yourself back in the gym. You'll go through that again. It's just it's just a nice window of change I think it's just to think like that. This has happened to me a ton of times just in the time We've had this podcast going we've only been doing this podcast for five years in that time I took like a strength training bodybuilding type of hiatus where I was 100% mobility focused I didn't need to be in the gym for that. I was doing a lot of that stuff at home Then I went on a swimming kick for a while where I was rarely weightlifting maybe once a week And then the rest of time was swimming and I'm currently playing more basketball than I'm lifting hoops right now I mean lifting weights right now. I lifted one time last week.  Yeah, it well It reminds me of that that that insecurity that I had as a kid that that's what drove me into lifting weights now I'm I'm a way more comfortable with where I'm at for me as long as I'm I'm healthy. I'm flexible. I'm mobile I'm strong and right now. I'm currently not very athletic and so a lot of that my focus the little bit of weight training I am doing is centered around Athleticism and I'm playing basketball. So yeah, I won't look like a bodybuilder I won't be impressive for Instagram or YouTube But I'll continue to remain healthy and I'm focusing on something else and I know me I'll be on that kick Just like I was swimming last I'll be doing it for a while I'll in see I like to work at something and show myself Improvement and prove that I can be consistent with it and and show improvement and then I like to move out of it Like I've kind of already Reads the pinnacle for myself in bodybuilding. I don't think I'll ever take my body to a more of an extreme than What I did getting on stage and so I just have less of a desire to do that these days And so I don't need to be in the gym Lifting five seven days a week not that I won't do that again or I don't enjoy that sometimes But I'm also comfortable moving in and out of modalities To keep myself healthy and the cool thing about resistance training in particular is it's so versatile You know I mean like you could do you could work out with barbells and dumbbells. You could use kettlebells You could do body weight. There's stuff you could do outside stuff. Of course stuff you can do in the gym You could use bands You could use suspension trainers. There's so many different ways that you can train and work your body out No, look, here's the other thing. We have created many many workout programs and part of the reason why we've done this not only is because there's people have different goals But it's also for the fitness enthusiast who is a long time. They're gonna be working out for forever So if you're working out forever, you could follow this maps program which like maps anabolic and maps aesthetic Maybe go to maps performance maps strong maps OTF and they're all very different and it keeps that spark Alive because you're training for different things. So, you know, if you want guidance that might be something I suggest Try some of our different programs that have totally different like going from maps anabolic to like maps You know OTF very very different. Excuse me. Oh, I don't know why I said that Orange Yeah, yeah OCR, excuse me off-school course racing. That's a very very different workout program and it's totally It's it's it's different. So for some people that's fun and exciting So here's the thing I suggest you don't do try not to stop Like try to not stop working out because you're bored with what you're doing rather than stopping just change it I think that's the message we're all trying to convey right now

Hello everyone. This is Amit Don of AmitDon.com. Today I will have another episode of tutorial video and I'll talk about how to change Windows display language or system display language. If this is your first time or a repeat visit, thank you for your support on this channel. I'm always trying you and different ideas. If that is something you're interested in, please visit for more. If you're only interested in tutorial videos there will be links in the description box below. So today I'll show you how you can change Windows display language and you can do it mainly two different ways. Although they would lead you to the same section later on. So the first thing you're looking for the Windows button on the lower left of your computer. So which is going to be right here and which is called the start menu. So if you click on it from here you're going to go to the settings which is going to be right here the whole button. So click on settings and from settings you're going to go for time and language which is going to be kind of on the right in the middle. So if you click on here and then you're looking for language which is going to be on the left kind of just above the last option speech. So you're going to click on language. Then here you're going to see a bunch of options and you can change the language settings for each of these. So for example if you click on the keyboard then you're going to see a list of recommended language you can change. So just go back and then let's see if you want to change the windows display. So if you just click on it. So this is the way you can do it. So I'm just going to you know get rid of this. Now you can do the same thing another simple way and this is where you're going to be just searching for a language. So for example if you go to the search button which is right here on the lower left corner right next to the Windows button. So if you just click on it and then if you search language and you can see that you don't have to even type the whole thing and it's just giving you the option which is the language settings. So if you click on it and it took me to the same section where we were before. So from here you can just change your windows display or any other system display language right here. So it's very simple and easy way you can do it and that's all for today. Thank you for watching this video. There will be more videos coming up so I'll see you shortly. Thank you.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Traders Edge with Steve Rhodes. Toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Traders Edge. Now, Steve Rhodes. Good morning, folks. Welcome to the December 6th. Yeah, it's a wonderful Wednesday edition of today's Traders Edge show. I'm your host, Steve Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope everyone out there is having a great day. Let's make sure we have an extraordinary one. Now, the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right. When you and I make that one little two-by-four shift, it means we can find the gift in every set of circumstances that life is going to toss at us. Now, today, when I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We'll go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I at just past 11 o'clock in the morning. I want you to know I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but even more important than that. And that's this during this next 53 minutes. I am here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone. Dial on in at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, if you've got a question that you can't call in, you can always send me an email. Send that off to Steve at TFNN.com. Inside the subject, please put radio show question. Now, if you're inside our Tigers, then any and every ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on wonderful Wednesday. Of course, this is Tiger, Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to the show. Right now we've got a bit of a sea of green out there. All the U.S. Indices are trading to the upside. Not by a ton. The Dow is up 47 points. A little over one-tenth percent. Same for the S&P or six points. Same for the Nasdaq 100. That's 24 points. One percent for the Russell. 19-point move there. Eight-tenths for the semis. That's 28 points. Trendy's are basically flat. They're up 14. Gold's up $9. Silver's off 9 cents. 30-year treasury printed out at 1, 2016. That's up one point and two ticks. You've got lights to be crude off 260 and natural gas down two pennies. Leading the charge, dollar-wise, to the upside. You've got to regenerate pharmaceuticals. 17 bucks. Avis budget. Rental card group, 13 bucks. Market taxes, 10 bucks. Karuna therapeutics, 10 bucks. And magical pharmaceuticals up almost 10 as well. To the downside, it's SIA Inc. Down 21 bucks. 5 percent old. Dominion down 16, 4 percent. Arrow, environment down 14 bucks, 10 percent. Powell Industries, 10 percent or 9 bucks. Humana up 8, 60. That's a 1.7 percent move to the downside. But let's begin by taking a look at what? Let's go switch panels here. And let's go take a look at the equity future contracts. And what we're going to see out here momentarily, well, I'll tell you what we're going to see, because we're going to go look at it. First, the upper right-hand corner, you should see the ESMini. What do we know about it? Well, the ESMini had a TD-9 count top at Rhodes. A Dominicator top that was negated on the trading session of December 1. Even though it formed a dark cloud cover candle on the, two days ago, on the 4th, there's no A to B equal CD pattern that we could draw in here. There's no other topping signal. So all that was was just an interesting piece of information. Now we've got a new profile. It did form, as we took a look at, it was the numbers that we took a look at yesterday to repeat those numbers. Support is down to 4551, resistance up at 4582. Now, there's no topping pattern in the daily ESMini. Just keep that in mind. If we take a look at the NQ, it still maintains its TD-9 count and Rhodes' Dominicator top, and we simply have a consolidation with insiders' daily profile. In overnight trading or early this morning, price got up and tagged and touched and rejected that green oscillator and change line, 16038. So that is a point of resistance out there. But we know our support is at 15748, and below that would be 15465 and a quarter. The Dow Equity Future Contract, the rally this morning, what it did was it set up the potential for a TD-9 count top that confirms today and completes tomorrow. All that needs to happen today is it closed above the close of bar number five, the close of bar number five, that was from November 30th, that was at 36010. As long as the Dow Equity Future Contract closed above that, we will get a TD-9 count top today. So you've got a top in the NQ, you've got a top that is likely to form inside of the Dow Equity Future Contract, and now as we take a look at the Russell 2000, it also has a top. It formed a sell-the-de-point pattern yesterday. This morning, price got up and tagged and rejected as TD-9 count breakdown level, 1892.70. Now, if price were to close at 1892.70, negates that sell-the-de-point pattern. But basically what we've got is we've got three of the Equity Future Contracts that look like at days then they will have tops, but we don't have the same thing with the ES-mini. So how are we going to know if the ES-mini has topped out here? And that's a great question. Let's try to answer that question really by going to the black background screen. The reason is I think it's just visually easier to see on the black background screen. So let's go do that. And here I'm going to open up the ES-mini, and in the case of the ES-mini, what I would share with you is we take a look at the top that formed out here, a small top, back in July. Actually, it's a little bit more than a small top. And it has nothing to do with whether there was a topping pattern or not out here. I believe there was, but that doesn't matter. We knew we got a potential change in trend. It's always a potential change in trend. Anything can happen at any point in time, but we knew we were getting a potential change in trend when price closed below the bottom of its profile, and that was back on August the 4th out there. And that was the first clue. We then had a new profile that formed. We got closed below the bottom on August 9th and August the 10th, or really, quite frankly, in the following session as well. So that was our signal of a change in trend. So now knowing that, don't know whether we're going to get any kind of a top out here, but I think that we are, what would be a requirement for the ES-mini to say, okay, I'm ready to join along, and I've got a change in trend. That's pretty easy. So that's now the benefit of a narrow trading range out here or a narrow profile. And that means if we get too consecutive closed below 45.51, that tells us that the ES-mini has likely topped, or at least we've got some type of short-term change in trend out there. So now let's go back to the white background charts and let's go take a look at the Dow equity future contract that formed that TD-9 count top. Why? Because when we get the topping patterns out here on a daily timeframe, what we look for is on those intraday charts, we look for other topping patterns to help us confirm that. And we take a look at this here. If we look at a five-hour timeframe chart, you'll sort of see an erodesment to indicator signal. Now, we don't have the bearish reversal candle as we speak just yet. But if we did get that, that would confirm a top. If we take a look at the four-hour timeframe chart, same thing, we've got the pattern. Now, this current candle is going to complete at 2 p.m. Again, if we get a bearish reversal candle, that would confirm a top. We have the same thing going on in a two-hour timeframe. Now, this candle is going to complete at 12 noon. So at about another 47 minutes out there, if we get a bearish or bearish and golfy candle, a dark cloud cover, whatever it is, a bearish reversal candle, that would confirm a, at least for its timeframe, a top. We've got nothing on the 60-minute other in price getting up to its breakdown level. That was at the 36,290. Well, guess what? That can be where a market forms a top. I've got a wave number seven pattern on the 30-minute timeframe chart. So we most certainly have a top there, the 15-minute 18-9 count top, and erodesment to indicator signal in the 10-minute. So now it's really up to the four-hour and the five-hour chart, and you can see here, today is going to become bar number nine. Now, again, inside the Dow Equity Future contract, that may not take hold until tomorrow. So I ask you out there, do you think we're approaching a top? Do you think we're approaching a top? But if you do, maybe write to me. Tell me the reasons why. We come back from this breakout here, other than what we just took a look at. I'll share with you the Dow Equity Future contract seasonal pattern. Now, let's see what it has to say. Let's let it cast its vote. We'll be right back.

Today is December 6th. Friday will become December 8th and that what we typically see is move lower. Now move lower last through the December 16th to the December 20th time frame out there and that's when most people take a look at the Santa Claus Rally. You and I we actually begin that where the market makes it seasonal low and this year it did it on October 26th. So we can see that from a seasonal standpoint that there's reasons to be looking for a top. Now that top may be nothing more than a consolidation with inside those profile levels. So there's no way for us to know at this stage here whether it's a top of meaning. I don't think that it is a top of meaning but only time will tell. Now, if we're going to get a top inside of the Dow, the NQ the EAS mini, the Russell 2000 even though we got signals let's say on three of the four of the equity future contracts to the NASDAQ which has taken price lower but when we take a look at the NASDAQ what we also know about the NASDAQ is that it is just consolidating with inside its daily profile out there. So even though we've seen a bit of a low a move lower inside the NQ out here in the NASDAQ 100 what we haven't seen is a break of that profile support and that's really one of the things that's needed in order to generate a potential change in trend to signal out there. So what we would do next here what I would do next what we're going to do next you and I is we're going to go take a look at how the top eight instruments inside the NDX100 are trading. Now the interesting thing here is shoot I can't tell for sure which of my two screens cost that's the wrong one. So give me a moment let me go back and change it. Those are the second eight I want to do the primary eight you're thinking about where I should go next year but I was having some problems and had to do some technical changes I did those technical changes and it's screwed up where my screens are located so now there we go apple. Now if we take a look at Apple there is no top right now the Apple did have a rose middicator top was negated yesterday as price closed above all those resistance points now it still has at roads between indicator signal triggered I would say atop First of Canada Confirmer Roadsman Diminicator Top. You also at least want to see price closed below that green-octodon change line. Currently that's printing out at the 192.14 level. In the case of Microsoft, it has a TD9 count top, but it has found supported its breakout level of resistance in the bottom of its profile. 365.16 is the level there. So right now all we have inside of Microsoft, we'll take a look at a little bit more in detail for Nancy, but Nancy right now, all you've got is consolidation with inside his profile levels. 365.16 is supported 374.75 is resistance. It got up to a high today of 374.18. That works for Stevie. We take a look at Amazon out here. Amazon does not have a topping pattern. So much like the ES mini that we looked at, Amazon's going to have to close below 141.47 to give us some type of change in trend signal. In the case of the NVIDIA out here, what NVIDIA is doing today, it's completing its TD9 out bottom. That bottom formed on bar number eight. That was a couple of days ago. It's back inside its profile. If it can stay back inside its profile, it should go target the 479 level out there. So in the case of NVIDIA, it's going to have to take out that TD9 count bottom. That means a close below 450.10 to really signal to you and I that it's got some type of change in trend that's in place out there. We take a look at Facebook. Facebook is trading below profile. It's trading below support. So that might mean that it wants to get down to the 296.86. So we're okay there. In the case of Broadcom, ABGO is the ticker symbol. Well, today's going to become bar number eight and the price can poke below yesterday's low and yesterday's low is 905.85. That would trigger bar number eight. Of course, bar number nine has to complete tomorrow. But we know a successful bar number eight turns into a TD9 count pattern 90% of the time. So that says now what so if you're looking to go short, you don't want to have go to do that. You don't want it to form a TD9 count bottom and it may not. We don't know. With regard to the Google-y one, you know, price is still back inside its profile there. So we're going to need to really see a close below the low from December 4th. That's at 129.40 to tell us we're ready to move to the downside in Tesla. I believe we're going to take a look at Tesla. I don't know if we're going to take a look at Tesla or not. We are right now. In the case of Tesla, we don't have any kind of a top and prices above the top of that daily profile. Tesla may be wanting to head to 265.41. So you see if we summarize what we're taking a look at here in the top eight holdings that make up more than 50% of the NDX100 calling a top right here is a bit suspect. It's a bit suspect. So you know, what Stevie likes to say, hmm, something to think about. So we've got something to think about. No action I would suggest taking today but I could be wrong on that. But I'll just share with you what the charts are communicating to us and you go from there. Let's go take our first request out here. Let me close these charts down free up some of the resources out there. But our first request is from a shoot. That's hidden. Their first request is from Alton. And Alton, I sent them this yesterday they get it till well after the show had closed but we're going to go take a look at CHK. If you give me a moment we'll get to that set of charts out here. Daily, weekly and the monthly. So we take a look at CHK, what do we know? Well, you know, there is something else I need to tell you about the Dow equity future contract. Remind me, would you? We take a look at CHK. Well, today's going to become bar number eight out here. It's trading below the bottom of its daily profile, the bottom of its weekly profile. It could be targeting the bottom of its monthly profile. Its monthly profiles target would become 61 58th. So this says, look for a TD9 Cal bottom to form between today and Friday out here. That's what I would be looking for but I would wait for at least tomorrow the next day. So let's come back and take a look at CHK, Alton on a 30 minute timeframe out here as we take a look at, you don't see the screen. Okay, sorry, I'm sorry about that, guys. Changed to the right, I changed to, I got you. Here we go, there we go. Thank you, Al, thank you, Bill. My wingmen out there. All right, so now we take a look at CHK. Well, let me pull this back here. Let's take a look at the daily timeframe. You'll see today would become bar number eight out here. There's A to B equals CD to the downside.  It's trading into a swing point on a weekly basis. Now it's only a couple of hours into Wednesday's trading session. That swing point has 9.3 million shares. This has done three million shares already out here. So it seems like lighter volume but you're still trading inside that swing point. It may go down and test that. They blow it away and that's at 69.68. I was gonna mention that 30 minute timeframe chart here before I changed to the proper screen. And you'll see that this is negating. Well, it's got a wave number seven pattern out here. That's those red. So that needs a higher load to confirm on a 30 minute bar that pattern. And that would then just suggest at least a bounce up into its oscillator and change on its 75, 56 Alton. Let's just be careful here. Let's come back and take a look at it, perhaps on Friday. But in the meantime, while you watch it, look at the intraday charts out there. See if you can find some type of bottoming pattern that would then suggest to you you might have a trade out here. I hope that helps you out. Let's go take a look at NIO, N-I-O is a ticker symbol and that's for pops inside the Tiger's Den. And NIO right now is trading out at about 814. Let me get it up on my other charts. I likely have a delay. Let's see where it's really trading at 807. So what this is dealing with here right now, Pop, it's dealing with profile resistance. I think you can see that that's at 811. If price were to close above 811, that would tell you it wants to seek out higher price. And for that, we'd look to prior swing points, but we'll look at the other timeframe charts as well. So we get back to this break. We're gonna go take a look at NIO for Pop. And after that, we'll take a look at Mosaic, then the GDX and BYON, Palantir, Microsoft, RTX, Marathon Oil, Lightsweep crew, Steve Rhodes with TFNN, we'll be right back. Ho-ho! It's December, Tigers.

Folks, so we're taking like a Neo out here. It has got resistance up to that 8.11 area. Price closes above that. Then the next price target that it's gonna deal with is this bearish engulfing candle here from November the 6th and that highs at 8.51. That swing point there has volume of 43 million shares. So far today, you're up with 74 million shares. So that's a beautiful thing. I'd say as long as you close above 786, this should go test that 8.51 level. Now, the next area of resistance out there above 8.51 to V907, that'd be the bottom of the weekly profile. And then above that, I think we'd be looking at about 9.20. Well, we'll be looking at the 9.21. Yeah, 9.21 would be the numbers that we'd be looking at. I would stay with this. Now, what you're really watching for here, so the weekly's got a bottom, the monthly's got a bottom pattern out there and certainly the daily has a bottom pattern that formed a couple of days ago with that Roadsman Dominicator signal. Today is gonna be or appears that today will be bar number three of consecutive moves to the upside. I'd like to see this, if there's a real change in trend out here, you'd like to see this, you'd like to see this get to at least bar number five. Tomorrow, get into bar number four. You know, four bars can still just be a knee-jerk reaction. Once you get beyond that, that's pretty much a signal of some type of change in trend. It's not a guarantee, but it's pretty close to a guarantee. We can see here that Neo did have a four day consecutive and that was back on September 29th out there and that continued to move forward. The other thing you'd be looking for are pullbacks of let's just say two bars. Two to three bar pullbacks out there. So that's what you'd be looking for in the case of Neo. If you're along this, I would stay long for sure out there and best of luck to you. Let's go take a look at our next instrument request. That was to take a look at Mosaic. That's for G-Man inside the Tiger's Den. MOS is the ticker symbol. So let's get over see what Mosaic is doing. MOS, Mosaic is trading above the top of its daily profile. It's kind of a neutral type signal. We can make the case that this has formed a cell, the D point pattern out there a couple of days ago, got a bear shooting star. We're trading below the oscillator and change line. Where is support? The first level of support on any kind of a pullback here is gonna have to be the top of its profile. Now this had a nice breakout with pretty decent volume. What I'm referring to is this big gap to the upside. That's the gap that took place on November 14th. The volume there about four million shares. Now when this was pulling back yesterday into that gap it was with 3.9 million shares. So similar type volume. So maybe price is gonna get down and close that gap, get back to the top of that profile, 34.62 out there. So that's got some real potential. Yesterday was day number two of consecutive moves. Lower out here, let's open up that chart, see what we're looking at. We have seen bounces occur after that but you can kind of see the normal dance steps here. It's a Texas two step in this case here for Mosaic. Two down, two up, two up, two down. Maybe today is gonna begin two more to the upside out there. So that's what I see when I take a look at Mosaic. I hope that that helps you out. Hope I answered your question. I didn't write down anything else. I was working too fast to make sure I at least got all this stuff in. So let's go to the next request out there. That's to take a look at the GDX. That was also inside the Tiger's Den, I believe RP 28 and RP with regard to the GDX. What we don't have in the GDX is a topping pattern. What we do have in the GDX is a consolidation with inside it's daily profile. And that ranges from 30, 46 at support and 31, 62 as resistance. Remember, the GDX is gonna get its P's and Q's from gold, the direction of gold. And if we were to take a look at gold, we've already done that.  I'll change screens when we have to. But what I can share with you is gold is also consolidating with inside it's daily profile. Go figure, how does that work? Well, we know it works because the two are so directionally correlated. Now with regard to, I just wish I could find what I'm looking for. Where the heck did that go? Did I delete some? Oh, it's right in front of, okay. So with regard to, oh, no, I didn't. It's, so gold is consolidating between the price level of 2023 and 2080. Now, will the consolidation hold? I don't know the answer to that. But if you're looking to take a long position, the GDX itself, you can take one at around the 3046, 3051-ish level out there. That's been tested the last couple of days, the third test, and that holds. That would be the area. And if price closed below that level, I'd probably jettison it right away. Just be, you know, kind of be an experiment, so to speak. But there's no top. But there is a top inside of gold. And there is a top inside of silver. And we know that silver's trading below profile level, whereas gold is not. So it's not a real clean trade out there. I don't want to open up all of my GDX charts out there, just simply because it'll take a little time to do that. But G-Man, oh, sorry, RP, you're asking about the GDX. What I would do is I'd go take a look at the individual equities that make up the GDX. And I'd see which of those are the strongest ones. Which of those have formed the bottom patterns out there? And if you find something, maybe that's a way to go ahead and play it. But the GDX is really waiting on gold and silver out there and gold and silver are giving you and I two different messages out there. So not really sure which is the one that's going to come through. Let's go to the next request out there. And that's to take a look at B-Y-O-N. Don't think we've taken a look at B-Y-O-N before, but we are going to know. B-Y-O-N is trading, it's gonna form bar number eight of a TD nine count, trading around 23-23. That was Stevie's basketball number, not 23-23, but 23 was. That was my home jersey. 34 was the away jersey out there. Well, this is going to form a TD nine count. Well, it's going to form bar number eight of a TD nine count. In order for bar number 90 to complete tomorrow, B-Y-O-N just simply needs to close above the close of bar number five out there. So note this on your pad of paper, 21-46. It seems likely that we're going to get a TD nine count top that completes by Monday. Now, what should transpire? You can see that also didn't change on his change colors went from red to green. Typically, when you form a top and you've got that scenario out there, price will pull back to test that. Now, a bullish test would be a test and rejection of the 1952 level. Now, that's 1952 because we're looking out of my screen right now. I guarantee you it will not be 1952 when that test unfolds, but at least you have the idea as to what to anticipate. The weekly chart looks more bueno out there, price of trade above profile, tennis at longer term, Bayon, that is beyond ink. Is that the beyond meat thing out there? Oh, yeah, disgusting. In any event, it looks like the stock here wants to make a move up towards that 3177 level, but before it can get there, it needs to go tackle the top of its monthly profile and that'd be at 2684. I don't have anything else with regard to Bayon, beyond meat out there other than for those of you that eat it. God bless you. Let's go take a good Palin tier and that's for Duncan Steve inside the Tigers end. Now with regard to Palin tier, I don't believe that's I'm with you, Mike, PLTR. Let me do that on this screen here because I didn't have that. I didn't have that. Hey, when I want plants, you know what I eat? I eat plants. Yeah. And when I want meat, you know what I eat? I eat real meat. I eat real good meat. And when I want fish, I eat fish. It's a beautiful thing. All right, we got Palin tier out here. What do we know about Palin tier? Palin tier formed a wave number seven top. That's a letter G. That's a small courtesy of the Chapman wave out there, although it is not the Chapman wave. And what we have right now is an A to B equal CD to the downside. So the B point out here, that took place on the trading session of November the 27th. 58 million shares were traded then and that was passed with 104 million shares. So you've got a confirmed A to B equal CD to the downside. PLTR, I want to get this going on my other charts out there. I'll draw that A to B equal CD. You guys might want to do the same as well. Let's see if we come up with the same numbers when we get back from this break.

I've got my black background charts up there just easier to draw the A to B equals CD pattern to get right to the exact price projection levels out there. Although we use those really more as guidelines versus a exact level. And what Palantir did today was it gapped down and it attacked that one to one A to B equals CD price projection level. The price project was 1708. We got down to 1705. Does that mean you should buy it here? Absolutely not. You're looking for some type of bullish reversal candle and that makes today a little bit difficult. Why? Because at days then you could get a bullish candle. However, you've got a gap to the downside. One's a bearish candle. The other's a bullish candle. How do you know what the real meaning is? What I do is I'd fill in that candle and take it up to the low of yesterday and then that answer the question is that's still a hammer candle. If it is, then it's a hammer candle. If it's not, which a doubt that it would be because the body of that candle would be too large, then it's more of a gap to the downside. Nonetheless, what you would wait for is the next bullish reversal candle to generate a Gartley buy pattern. Short of that, price will go target its next price projection area. For Palantir, that's at 1620. Now, the reason that this could be a bottom, number one, price is pulled back right to a level where it broke out from. So let's not ignore that. When this breakout is different than the TD9 account breakouts we look at, this is just simply one that's a breakout with price and volume. This gap to the upside on the trading day of November the second and it does with 170 million shares and price is pulling back today with 56 million shares. Now that 56 million is within two hours of trading. That's still really good volume there. So I would stick, stay away from Palantir at the moment, but continue to watch it because the A to B equals CD. The weekly is kind of interesting. It has a Roadsmen Dominicator top of price found support at the top of that profile. That's at 1757 out there. Let's go to our first caller. It is Sue in Bethesda, Maryland. Sue, thank you for calling. Thanks for holding. How are you today? Thank you so much, Steve, I appreciate that so much. So, SOM, would you please tell me SOM and MRO?  So we'll take it. Yes, so well, you've got oil that is literally being crushed as we speak. And so we know that the energy sector and SOM is the one of the largest holdings inside the energy sector is directly correlated. So what we really need to try to understand is both SOM and Light Speed Crew. Now, the potential good news with Exxon Mobile is the fact that today is going to become bar number nine of a TD9 count. We're also in wave number seven. That is letter G. Wave number seven needs a higher load to confirm that pattern. The TD9 count just needs to close below bar number five today. That means it needs to simply close below 10274. Now, on a TD9 count out there, Sue, that low, this is the bottom we're looking at, can form on the bar following bar number nine. It could also get negated. And that means that price could close immediately right below the low of the pattern. If that happens, that tells us that Exxon Mobile is headed much lower. But on a daily timeframe, this suggests that Exxon Mobile could or should top between today and tomorrow. When I look at a 30 minute timeframe chart out here, to me, this says, well, it ain't today. Oh, I take that back. So on a 30 minute timeframe chart, it has a TD9 count bottom that formed at 10 a.m. The level you're watching here, Sue, is the 30 minute bars. And any close on a 30 minute bar below 99.42 negates that signal. And that would then tell us that today would likely not be the day that we see Exxon Mobile form that low. Now, when I say form a low, I don't know for what period of time. It could just be a bounce up into its oscillator and change line. That would be its first target. That's currently printed at 101.33. And above that, on a daily timeframe, we've got resistance at 103.49, followed by 105.39. 105.39 being a real key level of resistance out there. When I look at the weekly timeframe chart, what you don't want to see this do is close below the low from the week of March 17th. And that low is at 98.02. If we get that, that likely tells us we're headed down towards about the 84.58 level. 84.58 is the bottom of the monthly profile. The weekly chart has got a sideways consolidation and that level of 98.02, that would basically be the bottom of that consolidation. So you've got potential for a bottom out here between today and tomorrow you want to, and again, we want to take a look at Lights Recruit. Is it okay if we do that? So if we go take a look at Lights Recruit? Okay, so let's go see what Lights Recruit is signaling to you and I. See if there's any kind of signals here. Because of the directional correlation with regard to who's the dog, who's the tail, Lights Recruit is definitely the dog. Exxon Mobile is the tail. But nonetheless we still take a look at the signals for both. Now we take a look at a daily timeframe for the January contract for the Lights Recruit, we are in bar number four. So we do not have any kind of a bottom signal here. There is an A to B equal CD to the downside pattern. That's going to require a bullish reversal candidate to confirm a bottom. So I'd be able to look out for that too, some type of bullish reversal candle that confirms on the daily timeframe a buy the D point pattern. On the weekly chart, the weekly chart shows the price is now trading into its swing point from back on March of 24th. The high of that swing point is 69.73. If we close inside that odds favor price is going to get down and test that low. That low would be 64.37. Now that's on a weekly timeframe. But what this is suggesting to you and I here at this moment is today is not going to be the day that Exxon Mobile forms the TD9 account bottom with it being bar number eight out there. What else can I look at here in LightsWeed Crew? Let's look at a 30 minute timeframe chart. 30 minute timeframe chart. I don't have any kind of bottom signal. The only signal I have for potential bottom comes from the hourly chart. And that says that by one PM today, you could see a TD9, well really by 12 noon you could see the TD9 account bottom but that pattern will form at one o'clock. So here's the bad news. The bad news is you've got a bottom signal inside Exxon Mobile, still watch that but we're not seeing anything in LightsWeed Crewed out here. What I will share with you is if we take a look at the January, 2024 contract we are going to see that we are entering bar number seven of consecutive weekly closes lower. And I'm going to have to go really take a look at some other charts out here. This one just takes me back into the 2020 timeframe, January of 2019. And so in that entire time period we have never seen seven weeks of consecutive moves lower out there. That says that there's going to be some type of relief rally soon. I just don't know when that soon is out there but you've got the numbers to pay attention to out there. If I provide you with the information you were looking for. Yeah, 99.42, look for that one number. Okay, perfect. Yeah, perfect. And we'll continue, I'll continue, you know and then that's tomorrow and Friday. Well, I'll make sure we're looking at LightsWeed Crewed and the energy sector as well for you. So I know that you listen to the show. So Sue, always nice to speak to you and thanks so much for the call. Thank you so much. I appreciate that so much saved you the best. Thank you so much. Oh, thank you. Thank you folks. So there was a request. Absolutely, thank you so much. Okay, bye. You too. So there was a request to take a look at LightsWeed Crewed so in essence we've done that so no reasons to take that one off my list. There was also another request out there to take a look at MRO which I believe that Sue had asked for. So let me get back to that set of charts out there. We'll put in MRO. We're not gonna have much time to take a look at it because we're about to go to a break but let's just see does MRO show any kind of a bottoming signal like Exxon Mobile did. So this is going to, the music's gonna start playing here shortly but let's see if we get these charts here to populate. Come on, populate. You got about maybe 10 to 15 seconds. I'll tell you what folks, we'll take a look at Marathon Oil Corporation. We get back to this break. We're gonna look at Marathon, Microsoft, RTX and all of that Dow Equity Future Contract. I gotta give you what to be paying attention to. We'll be right back. It's December, Tigers.

But to be kind of quick here to get through these requests, Marathon Oil does not have the same pattern that ExxonMobil did with regard to a TD9 count bottom, so it's not really looking at great out there for the energy sector. Let's go to the next request that is from, that's a take a look at RTX. Alton wants to look at RTX and Alton, this formed a TD9 count bottom. Complete that pattern on November 22nd. Today is bar number nine of a TD9 count. It'll complete that pattern tomorrow. This suggests that RTX should pull back to about the 81-85 level, but close below 81-85, 78-48, and 79-92 are game. Let's go take a look at Microsoft for Nancy out here. We take a look at Microsoft, we'll use this set of charts. Microsoft right now, just a good old fashioned consolidation with it, with inside it's daily profile, 365-16 is support, 374-75 is resistance. It does have a roadsminton and a TD9 count top. When I look at the intraday charts here for Microsoft, I don't see anything significant other than 130-minute chart that formed a TD9 count bottom, and price ran right in the resistance at that oscillator and change line. I'd say more likely than not, Microsoft is gonna go tag that support level at 365-16. Let's go to our next request, which is a take a look at, well, I don't know, let me see here, it's to take a look, oh, the Dow, the Dow equity future contract. Let's go, let me give you the level to be paying attention to here, that I believe will be the signal that we have a change in trend. And that's gonna come from the 60-minute timeframe chart. Here, those red horizontal lines are all TD9 count breakout levels on a 60-minute timeframe. And the one thing that we can see is since the rally that began back in October, we have not seen a close below one of those. So, the one that's up on the table right now is at 36-106. That's the level to be watching today for the Dow equity future contract. Let's close out the show for Mike by taking a look at Bitcoin, VTC out here. So let's pull that up on our screen, Bitcoin. This is the December contract that we are taking a look at. We don't see any kind of a top on the daily timeframe, on the weekly timeframe, prices above its TD9 count breakdown resistance level. I see some short-term tops out here on the intraday charts, but nothing on the daily looks to me like Bitcoin wants to continue its rally. Folks, thanks much for joining me today. Have a wonderful Wednesday. Stay tuned for great programming, and I'll be back with you tomorrow on terrific Thursday. Those in the den, request that I didn't get to, I'm gonna put those at the top of my list for tomorrow. We'll make sure to get to those. Take care, folks. Be safe out there.
