Thermogravimetric analysis of Indian almond leaf revealed four stages of decomposition, with most mass loss occurring at stage 2, 188 to 460 degrees Celsius, due to simultaneous decomposition of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. The shifting of pyrolysis curve occurred with increasing heating rate due to heat transfer limitations, while the rate of mass loss decreased with higher heating rates due to inert contents such as ash and less volatile matters. The mean activation energy calculated by Kissinger, Freidman, KS, and FWO was 52.67, 45.53, 73.73, and 72.28 kg mole, respectively, and compared with earlier researchers' findings, it falls within the range of activation energy of reported leaves.

The Nike Blazer I feel perfectly encapsulates my fashion journey, I think anybody can rock this sneaker, and there's a variant for everyone. From the regular Blazer mid 77s, all the way to the newly released Akron and Blazer, which blends military inspired suiting with cyberpunk and modularity. There is a whole spectrum to this that I personally think can reach everyone, and is what makes this such a ubiquitous sneaker in the community. Let's start with the OG mid 77s. As a young kid in 2nd grade seeing Lil Bow Wow hooping like Mike, the Blazers were crazy. Even though the sneaker in the movie wasn't a Jordan sneaker, which is kinda funny, but ever since then I've always wanted a pair. After all, this sneaker was released almost 50 years ago as a basketball sneaker, and we know how much basketball has had an impact in fashion. You've got that vintage look with the slim profile, the exposed foam, the Nike fonts, and really after 50 years nothing has really changed, it still stays classic to the OG design. Got that herringbone midsole, the extra panels, the material on the toe cap, the high cuts even though it is considered a mid, and they take 4 hours to take off. Right here I have the Celestial blue mid 77s, I believe this is the exact one from like Mike, and I have the maroon colorway as well which I did do a cream lace swap, and I think it really makes the sneaker pop, I'll leave a link in the description. So I really like showing off the entire sneaker since it's so slim. I mean they're kinda like converse, just with a little bit more color.  Two sneakers for the price of one basically. I think it's the perfect sneaker for any type of streetwear outfit. You just can't go wrong with a pair of these, I personally would suggest getting these over Air Force ones, over Jordans if you're just starting out. But yeah, the slim silhouette, the vulcanized sole wasn't only loved on the courts, it was very useful to the up and coming subculture of skating. So after my short obsession with basketball, I then picked up skateboarding in middle school and I was pretty nice with it for my age. Till this day, my most impactful hobby as a kid. Anyways, skaters found these were perfect, good board feel, little bit more durability for the time, it was definitely useful for flip tricks, and most importantly, somewhat affordable. And eventually as skateboarding became more mainstream and popularized by games like Tony Hawk, Nike created their own subdivision, Nike SB, and revamped a ton of sneakers like the Nike Dunk to the SB Dunk, and eventually the Blazer with more durable materials, padding, and better technology for impact. Birthing the now extremely popular skate shoe, the Nike SB Blazer. Now with me growing up lower class, no way I can get these. I was basically skating any sneaker silhouettes my parents could afford from the department store and wanting every popular sneaker, some lackeys, fall-ins, dunks, and Blazers. And now with age, I can finally afford these. Real quick guys, I have a word from the sponsor of today's video, Soul Premise.  See, with a normal carry on, you can really only carry about two sneakers max before you fill the rest up with toiletries, clothes, and all that.  It's TSA approved and used by a number of NBA players. And yeah, check this out. You've got dedicated sneaker compartments so your clothes don't really touch the sneaker. I know I can be weird like that, I'm a germaphobe. And the other compartments are for more sneakers, more storage, and even a standard backpack compartment, which has a laptop sleeve, some organization, and all that. It's a very useful bag, especially for me. I can get some work done at the coffee shop. I can bring sneakers I need to shoot B-roll for. They've got duffel bags, regular backpacks, rolling bags, the whole suite. There's definitely something for everyone. I personally have the Signature Bag XL. It is big, but on a day I gotta shoot or travel. It's definitely my go-to. And finally, they even have a bottom compartment to fit even more sneakers. These bags are made with a very nice tumbled leather with a simplistic design, plenty of colors, or black if you'd like. But, you know, I got this camel color to spruce it up a little bit, you know? And it's definitely gonna last a long time. I mean, it really is the only way to travel now for myself. If you guys ever run into me at the airport, I'll definitely be rocking this. Definitely click that link in the description. Check out Soul Premise. And thank you, Soul Premise, for sponsoring this video. Also, guys, if you guys want a huge discount, Soul Premise is offering 40% off if you guys use my discount code TAI. That is linked in the description. Back to the video. So the ones I'm holding here are the Nike SB Zoom Blazer Mid Premiums. My favorite variant of the SB Blazers, there's plenty of other variants of just Nike SB Blazers alone. It comes with Zoom technology in the insole, more durability in the high wear areas, like the toe cap and heel. And it has this sweet colorway that is perfect for the spring. Absolutely love these. I haven't skated them yet because my go-to is the SB Blazer Mid Edge. Which, as you can see, it kind of has that deconstructed DIY look. The swoosh looks like it was ripped off and placed on the toe cap. And it works. It's still holding up. Plus, there's extra materials around the heel area for heel flips. Much appreciated. And especially now, these came out last year and the year before. They're relatively affordable on the resale market. I have the maroon colorway and the white canvas colorway. Both sexy sneakers with that double tongue, crazy mix of colors and a unique look. A perfect sneaker to skate in, but will also look great in street fits as well. I'd say get at least one pair of SB ones if you are into Blazers and you have the space for it in your closet. There's a lot of unique looking ones. And now with today's day and age, there is no doubt that collaborations have pushed streetwear and fashion to the masses. Before you'd get called a kid for wearing sneakers instead of loafers. I never really understood that because it's kind of childish to make fun of someone for not wearing... Anyways, fashion is much more casual nowadays. And nothing gets the community going than a good or highly anticipated sneaker collaboration. I mean there have been so many with just the blazer itself. Most notably the collaboration with Off-White back in 2017. Which basically brought the sneaker back to life. It was on its way out before the skaters picked it up. Then it died down again. Off-White brought it back to life with the 10. And they brought it to a wide audience that was mainly into boost at the time. Good old days. I mean recently there have been many awesome takes on this design just within the last year. The Sakai Blazer being one of them with a crazy stacked heel. Definitely going to get my hands on one of these. And cool interesting concepts like the ready-made blazers right over here. By the way shout out to Stadium Goods for having me and gifting me these sneakers. So designed by a Japanese brand and inspired by DIY and upcycling. The RE on the tags can stand forwards like reuse and recycle. The outsole was partially made out of leftover Nike material. You can just see the specs of color really unique. And this collaboration specifically pushes consumers to think about those concepts. Always a great thing in my opinion. And it's just a really cool take on the silhouettes. Definitely one of my favorites. And definitely the future of sneaker design. Speaking of which this is the Nike Acronym Blazer Lowe's which goes crazy. Definitely a lot of forward thinking concepts with this design. And currently a lot of people just don't understand this sneaker. Which is kind of why a lot of people don't really like it. Well I'm about to clue you in. Let's start off with the gilly inspired cutouts of the Acronym logo. In layman's terms just think of sniper suit from COD. While not my favorite design choice. It definitely sets these apart and fits well within the Nike Acronym capsule that just released. But the heel. The heel is the story of the sneaker. So what's really cool is they've actually provided the actual source code to allow you to 3D model anything you want and replace the heel cup anytime. You can totally customize the sneaker to you if you know 3D modeling and design. Of course this leaves the power to the consumers. Which is just what makes this sneaker so special. You can sell designs. You can just share it if you'd like. There's a whole community behind it. So basically everyone with an Acronym blazer can have a different take on just this silhouette. I've seen crazy designs where there's like rockets in the back. Or even some that make it look like a high top. And honestly it's probably even gonna birth future sneaker designers. I mean I probably appreciate it more because I was a former mechanical engineer. I used to design products in college. But yeah basically how it works is there's a dog tag attached to the sneaker. Which allows you to take the heel cup off. You can use a drill of course.  Cool concepts. Skateboarding. Basketball. Street wear. As you can see there is a sneaker variance for everyone. All of which impact us individually or the community. By fueling our nostalgia or inspiring the future. So what's your favorite silhouette? Is it the classic? Is it the collaborations? Let me know what your favorite model is in the comments down below. I love blazers. Probably pick up one of your suggestions. If you guys enjoyed the video give it a like. Subscribe to the channel.

Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news developments from around the world, our headlines. Historic Colombia national strike reaches one month mark. You went to investigate rights violations in Palestine, territories and Israel. Anti-imperialist activists denounce US Senate Bill targeting China. And in our final story, we take a look at the Day of Resistance marking six months of the ongoing Indian farmers' struggle. In our first story, May 28 marks one month since the beginning of the mass uprising across Colombia. What began as a national strike against a proposed tax reform has turned into a struggle against state violence and worsening socioeconomic conditions. Working class and indigenous communities have also denounced the assassination of social leaders and peace signatories. Other demands include better healthcare and education facilities than the dissolution of the notorious riot control unit or ESMAD. However, the government has continued to respond with alarming levels of police violence and militarization. An investigation by the New York Times has also confirmed the use of disproportionate and lethal force including live ammunition. Despite these routine instances of violence, people have continued to take to the streets. The National Strike Committee announced on May 24 that a pre-agreement had been reached with the government. One of the central issues raised was guarantees for exercise of social protest. However, they have not reached the consensus on all demands. The Central Union of Workers announced on May 27 that the government had not signed the agreement and that meetings would continue. In the meantime, mass mobilizations are set to take place on May 28 and 29. Here is People's Dispatch Correspondent Zoe Alexander to talk more about the historic uprising. Hi, and thank you for having me. So today, May 28, it marks exactly one month since the National Strike began in Colombia. And as we covered for the last month at People's Dispatch, we know that these protests originally began as a citizen rejection to the tax reform law, which was going to raise taxes for the working class in Colombia, but now have grown into protests that mean that go much further and with demands that go much further. So we've seen people on the street demanding that the Havana Peace Agreement be implemented. They've demanded a demilitarization of the cities, because of course, with this one month of protests, something that we've also been covering continuously, People's Dispatch, is the very brutal state repression and response from state forces to the protesters. So up until today, there are over 50 people that have been assassinated by state forces, over 1,000 people that have been arbitrarily detained, over 20 people that have been sexually assaulted by police forces during the last month, and hundreds of disappeared people. And there have been reports coming in over the past couple of weeks of bodies that are turning up in the rivers nearby the cities where these protesters have been disappeared. And despite all of the best intentions of the Colombian government, I shouldn't say best intentions, but of all the intentions of the Colombian government to attack the protesters, to criminalize them, to stigmatize them in the media, people continue to be joining the strike. They're continuing to come out in the streets. We expect that today is going to be a very big day of mobilization, cities across the country, towns, municipalities, people will be going out to mark one month of the beginning of these historic protests in Colombia, which without a doubt will be changing the history of the country. Just also want to highlight that despite all of the repression that has been seen, we've seen a lot of these very intense images. There have also been protests that are full of culture, of music, of art, of different theater performances. And I'm sure that we're going to be seeing a lot of that today, marking the one month. And also at the same time, we've been reporting on the motion of censure against the defense minister yesterday, the Senate in Colombia voted against this motion. But the people in the street continue to demand that the defense minister must resign as one step towards granting, you know, a process of justice, a process of truth to all of the victims of these attacks as he is the person that is responsible for the actions of police and the army in this sense. So we'll be continuing to follow the situation in Colombia and stay tuned for all of our reports from people's dispatch on what's happening. The UN will establish a permanent commissioner of inquiry to examine violations during Israel's attack on Gaza. The international investigation will also look at systematic abuses in the occupied territories in Israel. This will include discrimination and repression based on national, ethnic, racial or religious identity. The UN Human Rights Council passed a resolution during the special session held on May 27th. The resolution was passed with 24 members voting in favor, nine against and 14 abstentions. The 11 day long attack on Gaza killed at least 254 Palestinians, including 66 children. The UN has stated that around 2000 people were injured in some may suffer long term disability. Gaza's housing ministry has stated that 1,500 housing units were completely destroyed and another 1,500 were damaged beyond repair. As per a UN report released on May 27th, 8,500 people continue to be displaced. The extensive damage to power networks means that people are experiencing power cuts for up to 20 hours a day. While 97% of Gaza's water was already undrinkable, the Israeli attacks have affected water access for 800,000 people. Nine hospitals and 19 primary health centers have also been damaged. Meanwhile, an international criminal code investigation into Israel's war crimes and the occupied Palestinian territories is also already underway. Chief Prosecutor Fatah Ben-Sauda will examine the 2014 war on Gaza, illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank and the attacks during the Great March of Return in 2018. Israel has declared that it will not cooperate with either investigation. Activists in the US have denounced a new trade and technology bill targeted towards China. The Senate voted to close debate on the United States Innovation and Competition Act on May 27th. The measure was passed with a bipartisan majority of 68 to 30 and will now head for a vote. The legislation has been presented as an attempt to increase the United States' ability to compete with Chinese technology. The over 1,000-page legislation would approve a funding of $250 billion. Out of this, $54 billion will be allocated for the production of semiconductors, microchips and telecommunication equipment. However, the omnibus bill also contains several aspects proposed by the right-wing Republican Party. Large parts of it are dedicated to the Biden administration's increasingly aggressive policies towards China. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer was quoted as saying, holding the Chinese Communist Party responsible for years of a patience, economic, policies and theft of American ingenuity will help create a level playing field. The USIC Act includes the Endless Frontier Act and the Strategic Competition Act, among others. The latter includes provisions for the US to quote, remain vigilant to the risks posed by the undue influence of the Chinese Communist Party. The Act will also dictate US-foreign relations with countries having extensive trade with China. Anti-imperialist groups have warned that the legislation will further anti-Asian racism in the US. The country has already witnessed a rise in anti-Asian hate crimes, including the mass shooting in Atlanta in March. And in our final story, we take a look at the Day of Resistance observed across India on May 26. The day marked six months of the completion of the ongoing farmer's struggle. However, workers in civil society groups also denounced the central government's neoliberal policies and mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here's a video feature on Wednesday's protest. The historic farmer's struggle in India completed six months on Wednesday, May 26. The nationwide call given by the Sanyoht Kisan Murcha or the Joint Farmers Front was supported by various progressive organizations, including the Communist Party of India Marxist, Students' Federation of India, Democratic Youth Federation of India, and the All-India Democratic Women's Association. Farmers have been mobilizing on the borders of Delhi, draping harsh weather and police repression. They continue to demand for the rollback of the three farm laws passed last year by the far-right Bhartya Chanta Party government. Farmers have time and again pointed out that the laws will drive down prices that they are likely to get for their produce. Farmers also claim that the laws would enable the complete takeover of agriculture by corporate agribusinesses and big traders. Tens of thousands of farmers across the country mark the protests by raising black flags and burning effigies of BJP leaders on May 26. Opposition groups are also protesting the mishandling of the pandemic by the central government. The second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic is a disastrous one for India where thousands continue to die on a daily basis. The organizations put forward some key demands in a statement, which includes use the massive funds collected under PMQS, a specialized COVID relief fund for providing oxygen, ventilators, medicines and hospital beds. Stop the Central Vista project and redirect its funds for the same purpose. The project involves the raising down of older capital buildings and the construction of new ones including a new parliament and a prime minister residence to the tune of approximately 1.8 billion US dollars. Make treatment for COVID-19 free and also provide free and universal vaccination. Strictly regulate private hospitals and prevent the fleecing of patients with exorbitant bills. Allocate substantial funds for strengthening the public health system. Immediately transfer 7,500 rupees, which is around 100 US dollars, to low income families below the income tax bracket and provide 10 kilograms of free food grains to all who need it for six months along with essential items like pulses, oil and sugar through the public distribution system. Samyukta Kisan Morcha and Central Trade Unions along with SFI, IDUA and DYFI gave a nationwide call, protest call to observe May 26th on marking the sixth month of historic farmers protests in India and it's also the seventh anniversary of the inhuman Modi Raj and in this protest call, lakhs of people participate in this call and we'd like to congratulate all of them and all the people from Kashmir to Kanyakumarika, from Kastu Kohima, they have participated. It's a historic undoubtedly and especially they are protesting against this corporate and Hindu Hindutva nexus.  People are drying rampantly, there'll be a lack of oxygen, beds and this is the government, it's completely reluctant, they are now busy to build, I mean, statues and central vista using crores, thousands of crores of rupees and in this situation we also demand, we demand that free vaccination for all which is a legacy of India, I mean independent India and we also demand monetary help for the needy, we demand that government must provide this free vaccination and healthcare facilities to everyone and with this all this demands, there's so many demands are there, it's changing demands, actually we are protesting and the voice of dissent is increasing every day in our country against this Modi Raj and we built this much more gathering and after this pandemic is over and it will it will it will remove this Modi Raj from their from their from their power, we believe that and again we salute all of all people who participate in this protest, it's undoubtedly installed. Farmers organizations have reiterated that they will not back down until the regressive farm laws are revoked as the struggle continues, more protests are expected soon. That's all your time for today, we'll be back on Monday with more news from across the world, until then keep watching People's Dispatch.


Welcome to Toffy TV, it is the Everton News Daily. Everton have a gain today being linked with a move for Juventus Mifffield player Adrian Rabio. The centre of Mifffield players played 41 times this season so far for Juve. It's thought to be keen to link back up with Carlo Anciolotti, who he spent time with a Paris Saint-Germain earlier in his career. Everton have been continually linked with a move for Rabio. He's had a good age, good presence, nice drible, can get box to box as well. I think he's definitely a player I think Anciolotti would be interested in. I think he'd give Everton another physical presence in Mifffield. He's very mobile and can travel with the ball. So I could see why Everton are linked with him. It just depends I guess the money that's involved. Obviously Moise Keane name keeps getting bounced around but we'll just have to see the kind of deal that is on the table for him. But it wouldn't surprise me if he was someone who Everton are keeping close tabs on. He's a French international of course as well. He's under contract at Juve until 2023 so there may be something in this, maybe not. Everton were linked also with a move for Met Mifffielder Papisart. The 18-year-old centre of Mifffield player attracting interest from a number of clubs. Everton have watched them and a few others in France this season. He's a highly rated player. I think he's exactly the type of player Everton should be trying to buy. Or be a still awake in progress just 18 years of age but got the physical attribute. I think that would do really well in the Premier League and do really well at Everton. Can get around the pitch, box to box, can score goals. I think it'd be a fantastic sign for Everton if they choose to follow that one up. In other transfer news today, the news is today for it definitely. Everton are linked with a move for Manchester United goalkeeper Sergio Romero. He is out of contract in the summer. He was stopped joining Everton on a deadline day last summer at the 11th hour by Manchester United much to the annoyance of Romero and his wife. But his contract is up this summer and then being a free I think is attractive proposition for Everton. Obviously Everton went for Robin Olson on loan and took him on loan but he comes with a fee. Attached to him and Everton may feel that Romero at 6-4-4 has got the physical presence. Has got lots of experience, played for Argentina in 98 times. Has got playing the Premier League, playing cup tournaments from Manchester United. Won cups while in goal for Manchester United actually brings all the necessary tools and necessary experience to Everton to challenge Jordan Pickford. And it may be that that's a more desirable deal for them to do so. There could be something in that one. A lot of Evertonians I know wanted them last summer as well so it could go down well with the fans. Everton has also today been linked with a move for Philip Catino. 40 million euros. Barcelona won them out of the club. He's 29. This one for me is pure speculation. I don't see Everton having any interest in him. Finally, Carlo Anciolotti has claimed that Seamus Coleman has a contract for life at Everton. The 32-year-old defender 33 this year has played really well at times this season for Anciolotti but I think they're talking about more of them being involved. Everton are in for a right back this summer. We want Coleman's experience to know how. Basically the way he carries himself as club captain to remain at the club. This is coming on the back of Marcel Brand saying the other day that he wants him to stay around the club and get involved in the coaching side. Just to keep that experience at the club. Very much a dutch thing to have ex-players in and around the training ground and working within the club. And I think Coleman is a fantastic asset to Everton Football Club on and off the pitch. So, hopefully, and I'm quite sure he will just remain at Everton even when he's no longer the first choice and maybe even when he's no longer a player the way Layton Baines has done. Finally, I just want to say a big thank you. We're over 50,000 subscribers now. So thank you to each and every one of you. It means a lot. We appreciate each and every one of you. So thank you very much for subscribing. If you haven't subscribed, join the 50,000 that I have. Thanks very much. We'll see you later.


Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey guys, good morning everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessToTrader.com Nightly Update Show. Hope everybody is having a great weekend. Friday I woke up. I had no idea it was a three-day weekend. Zero idea. People live webinars and we're off on Monday. I was like, wow, it's amazing. That extra day off is just fantastic. It's absolutely fantastic. Another day off just to kind of relax, to spend some time with the family. I woke up this morning and you were trying to log on to your system and the market would not let you log on to the system and you were punching the air and cursing out your platform. We're off today.   And tomorrow is another day. So let's talk about the tape. Very, very odd week for me. Okay. Incredibly odd week. Number one, if you've been watching any video I've been doing for the last, you know, for years, you kind of know the indexes for me are pretty much irrelevant. It doesn't make a difference to me if the market goes up and market goes down. I'm a very, very specific trade. I trade channels. So as long as there is directional bias and channels are expanding, it's good. Okay. It's really, really good for me. And as the old saying goes, stocks take the stairs up and the elevator down. So the question is, you know, the trading channels in a bull market better than a bear market. And it's kind of like potatoes, potatoes, because again, stocks go up more methodically, but stocks go down more aggressively when there is lack of buying pressure. And this week was very, very odd for me. Number one, I did something on Friday that I haven't done probably in years. Okay. I'm talking my years and years and years. And that was not put on a single trade. Okay. Now put on a single trade. Let's talk about that in a second. We kind of want to know how we got there. So where are we right now? Right now, we're in this massive linear move. Okay. Just a really, really met linear move. You could call it what you want. A meltup, whatever you want to call it. Bulls are obviously in control. Okay. 2% moves in all the major indexes this week, which is amazing. You got a 2% move. Okay. Absolutely amazing.  Again, it's kind of on the back burner. But what we've been starting to talk about, if you watch the video as of even last Monday, right? Last Monday was a pretty really strong day. I caught a good Roku trade to the downside. And then I caught a really, really good balance. What symbol it was? Was it SDC? I can't remember. One of these symbols, I caught a really, really good bounce off the bottom of the channel. But if you look at the rest of the week, it was incredibly odd for me. And I found myself trading a lot of weird random names, like a really lot of random names. And again, they might not be, you know, random for you guys, because, you know, there's a lot of strength in these names like an LK or an SDC, right? Like an SDC. But I found myself trading small cap stocks, right? TEUM, right? I traded, not put it this way. Not even one. I traded three small caps stocks this week. Okay. I traded TEUM. I got, I traded NIO, right? NIO on the halt, right? I caught a beautiful bounce in NIO. I got caught on the halt on this thing. Luckily it opened up pretty much flat. So I traded that. And I bought a stock a couple of days ago that I'm still in on an option suite. Literally I bought it at $1.97. I'm still on this thing. Somebody bought, somebody bought a thousand of the February three calls. I'm still on this thing. Okay. So I found myself trading random names. I found myself trading three small cap names. I found myself kind of all over the place this week. And the results were okay, right? But that's the whole point. The results are okay. Now, again, I don't look at the indexes as well. The market is up. I have to be long. The market's down. I have to be short. It's all about value.  I don't trade because the market's open. I trade because the market's giving you value. And when you look at the whole week on beta, and that's my sweet spot, right? Again, I don't care 2% move on the NAS. It means absolutely nothing for me. When you look at beta, okay, and you start looking at all the 60 minute channels, you'll see exactly that I had no edge this week. Okay. For majority of the week, Amazon going sideways to down, right? No channels at all. Netflix just going sideways to down. No channel at all. You got in the video doing exactly the same thing. You could go literally on and on and on. You got Facebook doing exactly the same thing. You got Apple doing exactly the same thing and on and on and on. And when you look at stocks like Tesla, we had a really, really good run. But again, you can see now it's starting to go sideways and BYD that had a big, big run. Now it's starting to go sideways. It kind of put me in a position of, well, do I sit there and start randomly, really aggressively trying to find opportunity that I have no relationship with. I have no track record with. I have zero, zero efficiency of trying to identify how the stock moves, what its tendency. Because remember, if you've been watching these videos for years and years and years, I have relationship with babies and not in a weird way or creepy uncle way. I have relationships. I know what Tesla should be doing when the range goes. I know what Netflix is supposed to be doing. I understand what happens when Amazon, and again, that's a dirty name. We don't even talk about it anymore.  But don't decide. I know what the stock is supposed to do when it comes out of a channel. So when I'm trading these stocks, I know when a range is going to fail. I have a good indication that, you know what, the pivot is not going to work in my way because I understand in that interval, if the buyers are sellers of control, I don't have that, you know, I don't have that relationship with LK. And I traded LK a couple of times this week, but I don't have that relationship with LK. I don't know what happens. Like is the stock supposed to go within two minutes of a channel confirming? Is it supposed to go within two hours of a channel confirming? So a lot of my week was incorporated on these random ways. Not to say LK is one of the strongest names out there. A stock like SIGNA is incredibly strong right now. A stock like SDC, who's, in my opinion, you see a lot of option flow. And if it holds this week, I think goes higher. So there's nothing wrong with these stocks, but these are names that again, I have no relationship with. And so I traded this week. I did okay, right? I had one losing day this week. Not nothing anything big, but the point is I just couldn't get going because my stocks were completely in the channel. And to kind of fast forward this into Friday's session. And like I said before, I found myself in a situation that I haven't found myself in a very, very long time. And I didn't put on a single trade, not one trade that I put on Friday. If you look at Friday's session, right, all these stocks, even the stocks like a Netflix or Tesla, they were all bunched up in their channels. And if they made any type of move, okay, they made their moves literally on one channel. So if you look, for example, on a 60 minute view, right? This is a daily chart on Tesla. But if you look at a 60 minute view, you'll notice a couple of things, right? You'll see the aggressive candles, just one candle at a time, right? Candle back down one candle at a time, one candle at a time. And none of these candles confirmed. So obviously I don't trade on individual candles. I need some sort of confirmation. I need supply to be confirmed. I need demand to be confirmed. And the whole day I just sat there and watched and watched and watched and looked at the clock and watched. And had a sip of water and watched and went downstairs for lunch and watched. And I found myself in a situation that I said to myself, I could put something on, okay, or I could wait for something that I know is tangible, that I have a defined risk on. But more important, I have a puncher's chance of actually making money in the trade. And again, like I said, I found myself in zero.  What am I going to do today? This is terrible. Oh, is it Tuesday yet? You are still subconsciously saying that you are emotionally tied into the market, okay? You are still in the honeymoon phase of the market. You are right now in a situation that you are almost like a crack at it, okay? That needs your fix. And this is all unhealthy stuff. Because again, when you are going into a trading date expecting something, having big expectations, we cover this so many times in nausea, okay? You are still emotionally committed to the market. And when you're making and you're going to the date emotionally committed to putting on a physical task of clicking the mouse, you are already behind the April and you don't even realize that. And it does take, I mean, it really does take, I would say it took me, I would say 10 to 12 years to finally realize that, you know what, every day is not an opportunity, okay? I don't care that the stock market is up 2%. I don't care that the Dow Jones is up 300 points. I don't care that the Nasdaq 100 is up 150 points. If my stocks are not being highlighted, okay? If my sweet spot is not there, I have no business. I have absolutely no business putting on a trade. I have no business exposing my money to what the market has given you. The market conditions is correlating. And if I'm putting on a trade for the sake of putting on the trade, I'm doing it 50-50, okay? My heart's not in it. There's emotional commitment to the trade without having a tangible fact or a reason behind the trade. And I'm doing it for a fundamental exercise instead of a materialistic fact. And a lot of traders will go into every single trading day with all these expectations. Oh my God, the Dow is up 250 points. I have to find something. The Nasdaq is up 150 points. I need to find something. Everything is going up around me. How come I can't find the stock? And that's your sign. When you can't find, okay? When you can't find your very, very clean edge, okay, within what you're seeing throughout the trading day, you have to be an adult, okay? You cannot turn around and say, well, the Dow is up 300 points. I need to be long. Well, why do you need to be long? If you can't find something that fits your profile, right? If it's into your process and tied into your materialistic risk on, okay, or risk off depending on which way you're looking at it, okay, you have to be an adult, okay? And the faster you realize that the market is open to take away your money to detach you from your money, okay? The sooner then you'll realize that it's your job to protect your money harder.  And it took me, I would say it took me about 10 to 12 years to figure that out. Again, I'm going on my 21st year and it really did take me such a long time because nobody sat me down, okay? Really nobody sat me down and say, yeah, don't worry about it. If the trade doesn't come today, you don't need to stress. You don't need to press. You don't need to be overly aggressive. You don't need to jump out of your shoes to find the trade. The trades will find you, right? The trades will find you. And the most important part after 10, 12, 13 years of kind of understanding that I don't need to trade every day came around Friday and I was completely at peace with it, right? Completely at peace. And people in the live webinar were asking, what do you think about UNH? And what do you think about this? And what do you think about SIGNA? And what do you think about LK? And what do you think about Apple and NVIDIA and Facebook? And all I kept on saying is they look okay, right? They look okay. But again, they didn't put me in a situation that I needed to trade. You want to trade, but you don't need to trade. You want to trade, but you don't have to trade. You want to desperately trade because the market's open. But again, if you take a step back and actually be an adult about it, right? If you actually be an adult and realize that you don't have your specific edge that day, that the path to the goal line, which again, coming off a championship Sunday, is murking. It's not clean. There's no advantage. Then you realize you should take your ball, pack it up and go home because the next day will give you a better opportunity. So for example, Friday for me was literally a 2-9 offsuit the whole day. And there's days that I could find some value, but with my whole gene pool, which are the beta names, when they're all clustered together and they're trading within 50, 60 cent channels for the whole day, that is my sign that I'm okay with not trading. I'm okay with not trading. I don't need to put on a trade for the sake of putting on a trade. I'm an adult. I realize there'll be an easier day ahead, which could be tomorrow, which could be Wednesday. I do realize also why these things are not moving. Because again, when you have a linear market, we talked about the idea of a potential rounding top. And again, I said rounding tops do not start on one two-day cycle. They start sometimes in weeks. And you're already seeing these names starting to rounding top. Again, I'm not talking about the masses and the indexes and all that. I'm talking about the beta names. The good news is what's going to kind of wake these things up. We are in the start of earnings seasons. Netflix kicks off earning season on Tuesday. I think tomorrow, right? I think tomorrow Netflix reports. And then you start seeing a whole slew of everything else. So I do believe that these stocks will wake up because the least will be a driving engine behind, which is earnings. So we will get expanded channels this week. We will get areas of concentration this week with some sort of aggression because even before they report, they will be positioning. You've already seen it with Amazon for weeks. This has been by far. And again, if you look at the chart, you'll turn around and say, well, what's the big deal? It's just resting. If you trade Amazon, you realize this is the most annoying damn thing for the last two, three months because it just does not want to take a position of strength or position of weakness. It looks like on the surface, well, the stock put in a big channel after coming out with three months and now it's just resting. And yes, there's been tremendous option buying. If you look at for the last two, three weeks, and I'm not talking about guys putting on $12,000, $15,000 bets, there's bets for the last two, three weeks, half a million, a million, a million and a half, $700,000 all on covering the earnings cycle with the 2000, the 1950s, the 2100 calls. So they are positioning. But as far as trading intraday cycles, this is like, this is really beating a dead drum. This is the same thing with Netflix, right? Same thing with Netflix as well.  Stock had even got upgraded numerous times in the last two weeks and it still can't get any traction for the next leg up. Again, I'm hoping, again, fingers crossed that when earnings are released on a lot of these names, not even specifically on Amazon, but once Netflix comes out with earnings, right, at least it will artificially take the other ranges higher or lower because again, they all kind of trade like a tribe. So going into this week, look, I do think we will get some good opportunities. I do believe the market is way, you know, way overbought. Okay. And again, eyes to the beholder. But again, it doesn't mean the market can go higher. Okay. My initial thought process last week was again, this was kind of a starting, kind of a rounding top of the beta names which we're kind of in the middle of that because they're not really doing anything. So they're either resting to go higher or resting to go lower. But again, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. It's not going to cost me any money. But again, you have to have an opinion.  Netflix eventually will wake up. It's okay. Tesla will eventually go up. And again, maybe they will, maybe they won't. But going into this week, yes, of course I'm cautiously optimistic, but I do realize that, well, this is real. Right. This is really, really real. And eventually there will be an aggressive pullback. Our job is to identify that before it happens. And the most important thing is don't have risk on at the top of the market. So going into this week, again, I like the tape. I like the tape. I'd like to see some channels confirm. Again, the article, you know, the argument on Tesla, you know, one party thinks it's going to go back to 400, which I don't think so. The other party thinks it's going to go to 1000, I don't think so. But something in between, there's going to be a real market. And you can see the ranges, right? You can see the top of the range here, right? And you can see the bottom of the range here. One of these channels has to confirm this week. Okay. It's not going to just sit here in a channel, you know, in a steep channel going sideways for much longer. Again, this is a big, big move. The sellers are either going to confirm this channel and go back to 459 or the bulls are going to confirm this channel and go back to 550. Something has to get it. Same thing with BYND, right? Something with BYND. And again, BYND is starting to get really, really tight. Okay. Now, if you look at, if you look at just from the last three days, you'll notice three red candles and not only three red candles, you see three inverted hammers, which is bearish. Okay. But it doesn't mean it's going to go down until this channel is reversed. So again, you can clearly see a very, very tight channel to the downside. You see a very, very tight channel to the upside. Something has to give. You can make that argument with a lot of these names. Look in the video, right? Look in the video, right? Look in the video as well. Look at the 60 minute channel on the video. Look how tight it is to the downside. Look how tight it is to the upside. If you look at Alibaba, right? Same thing. Look how tight it is to the upside. Look how tight it is to the downside. Something has to give. The only problem is it doesn't need to give tomorrow, right?  Oh man, I'm going to buy Intel tomorrow, Facebook tomorrow. Well, I'm going to buy Tesla tomorrow. Why? Right? Let the market tell you when you have to enter these trades. And again, they could sit in the sideways pattern for the next two weeks. Probably not. Hopefully not. Right? But they don't need to transform, you know, they don't need to transform into a bullish cycle, a bearish cycle because the next day the market is open. So it's incredibly important for us to wait, especially on stocks like a Tesla or beyond that are so driven. Again, they've been driven emotionally. Everybody has an opinion. As soon as the stock comes down, the bears wake up. As soon as the stock goes up, you know, the bulls are being in the chest. Just relax. Just relax. Something has to give here. Here's the downside channel. Here's the upside channel. One of these things we'll give. I'm hoping it's to the upside because the momentum of this thing is tremendous. So I'm really hoping for the upside in a weird way. I'm kind of hoping, you know, I'm kind of hoping B wakes up as well back to the upside because look how much room you have. You've got a lot of room to the upside. Again, I don't mind trading it to the downside. Again, you'll have some value here, but there's a lot of room to the upside. So going into tomorrow, I'm hoping, you know, am I expecting these things to wake up tomorrow? I have my fingers crossed. But again, it's very, very possible. I'll find myself trading some random stocks again tomorrow because again, it's just the nature of the cycle that we're in right now. Again, I can't change it. I wish for it. I can't turn around and saying, well, you know, it's Tuesday. The market is ready to go. I'm ready to go with it. They have to be spotlighted. My trades need to be perfect because again, trading, you don't get a mulligan. Okay. You don't get a mulligan. You don't get a redo if you're wrong. So let me give you guys some ideas for tomorrow that I do like. Okay. That I do like for tomorrow. And you know, Qualcomm had a big day on Friday. Okay. Really, really big day on Friday. And it finally broke out of this channel. I had some pretty good option activity coming up. I would prefer to buy this thing on a 60 minute channel. Okay. I do. I think if this thing gets down to a 60 minute channel, one of the best plays that I found in years and years and years on a stock finally breaks out, especially after a long distribution, you can see how long this distribution was going all the way back to November 8th. If they open week, right on a light volume wash out, those are the high probability bounce plays that will take it to red to green. So I definitely like Qualcomm for tomorrow. Pets, you know, keep an eye on pets. I had some really good option flow on Friday, Thursday or Friday, and it's very, very close to breaking out. Okay. Very, very close to breaking out here. That 28th level will be, you know, that 27, 80, 28th level, if it starts to build, I think this thing can go. AVRO, I'm not really familiar with this name, but you know, I kind of want to watch it, you know, for the next couple of days here. Keep an eye on this thing. This thing starts building above 23. Maybe this thing goes as well. I like Sigma. I like Sigma. Sigma had a really, really strong day on Thursday. Okay. And rested. Okay. The rested on basically about a third of the volume. Okay. On Friday and any single time you have a setup like this, this is a perfect continuation trade for either tomorrow or Wednesday. Again, preference. Obviously I would love to see a dip, right? An early morning dip into a 60 minute channel. Okay. If you get it and you get a bounce red to green or obviously a break above this whole range here, that would be good as well. And you know, I kind of like the pot stocks. You know, I think the pot stocks, oh, that's the one I caught in the early of the week. I caught CGC on a 60 minute support bounce. That's the one I bought, but these pot stocks are holding up fairly well. And again, this group, considering the news and all these, all these news events over the last couple of years of, you know, legalization of marijuana through all these different states, they've been, they've been generally a very disappointing group because they really had their opportunity to kind of grab the headlines and just, just run with it. And they've been having a very, very hard time with it. But if they wake up and start confirming, last week's highs, they could be good. Like if you look at, for example, TLRY, this thing starts confirming 2260. Next leg up, you've got Cron, for example. Cron starts confirming, you know, this 885-9 area. You got CGC trying to, you know, trying to, if it could close above this whole 50-day supply of 26, you have next leg up. So there's definitely things to do, okay? But again, our job as traders are to have an opinion, have an understanding of which way the wind is blowing, and just wait for our confirmation to play out. Don't be a baby about it. Again, there's nothing better, okay? Especially new traders, you'll learn this as you get older in this business. There's absolutely nothing better than being in complete control of your trading and not trade because the market's open because you are getting the fine highlighted value.
