The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Trader's Edge with Steve Rhodes. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Trader's Edge. Now Steve Rhodes. Good morning folks. Welcome to the December 20th. The wonderful Wednesday edition of today's Trader's 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 and every set of circumstance that life is going to toss at us. Now today, you and 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 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 it at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, if you've got a question but you can't call in, we've got you covered. You can send me an email. Send that off to Steve at tfnn.com. Send it early. And in that subject heading, please put a radio show question. Of course, if you're inside our Tiger's Den, will that any and every ping will do? So let's go and get this show started on wonderful Wednesday. Of course, this is Tiger Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to the show. We open up the show here with a mixed bag. The mix goes like this. Dow is flat, but really off five points. S&P is flat, but really up four points. NASDAQ's not flat. It's up a little over one-tenth percent. 23 points to the upside. Seven-tenths for the Russell. That's a 14-point move. Summizer off 16 points. Trendy's down 73. Gold's off five bucks. Silver's up 30 cents. Let's roll. Gas is basically flat. Light's recruit is up 90. Penn is 30. Treasury's up four ticks. Leading the charge dollar-wise to the upside. You've got MicroStrategy up 20 bucks. SIA, the freight company, up 4% or 18 bucks. Old Dominion up 12.5 bucks. That's a 3% move. FACSET research up 9 bucks. Coinbase is up 7%. To the downside, it's Argenix. Down 112 bucks, 25%. Gin Medical down 27 bucks. FedEx is off 30 bucks. That's a 10% move for it. Aeon PLC down about $17. 5% and Costco's off 12. Nearly a 2% move to the downside. So where do we want to begin? Let's begin. Let's begin by taking those daily equity future contracts. We'll switch over to Stevie's white background chart. You'll see those momentarily. And what you'll notice in the upper left-hand corner is the EES mini. You will see that yesterday was an 8% transfer rate. As long as price closes above the close of bar five today, that's at 47.74. This will confirm ATD 9 count top. The pattern will not complete until tomorrow. The high of this pattern can take place but it can't take place on the bar following bar 9. First price objective on a move to the downside is going to be green line, oscillator and change line. Current print is 47.77. That number is going to shift pattern yesterday. Today is its completion date. Whatever today's high is, you want to mark that on your calendar. Well, you're not a your pad of paper. Yes, it's a racist year. That's crazy. Sorry about that, folks. This a multitasking thing I can't do. Well, I got four minutes here. Okay, so the end queue. Watch today's high. If price starts trade above today's high overnight closes above it tomorrow, the pattern gets negated and that would then be our signal that these markets are not getting ready to top. Instead, what they're doing is they're getting ready to continue to move higher likely through about the January 5th or so timeframe out there. We don't have proof of that, but that's just something to be looking for. As we take a look at the Dow, the Dow March contract, you can see that today is going to confirm bar number nine and it will confirm bar number nine. So long as price closes above that close of bar number five and that number out there is 37, 643. Another level to put another number to put on your pad of paper. Now, in the case of the ESMini and the Dow, let's assume that they do confirm their TD nine count tops today. It still can make higher highs tomorrow. It doesn't negate the pattern or anything along those lines. So tomorrow we'll know to be paying attention to those two contracts, but especially the end queue and how it's trading. The Russell 2000, the nice thing about its rally today is that it has actually gotten to a wave of bar number eight. So you can, it can, TD nine counts can form their tops on bar eight, nine or the bar following bar number nine. So whereas it didn't look like we were going to have the Russell 2000 participate in this TD nine count process. Well, that has now shifted. That has changed. That changed this morning out there. Now this has a couple more days. So this is only bar number eight. Tomorrow's bar price is going to need to close above the close of bar number five. Same thing as what we took a look at what bar number fives close was on the Russell 2000 was down at 2005 40. So note that on your pad of paper as well. Today, the Russell still needs to close above this level, this level being 2020 to 50 in order for bar number eight to actually complete out there. So that's what's going on. We take a look at the daily equity future contracts. Now, of course, when we get to topping patterns, what we look for is we look to the intraday charts out there. Those intraday charts, what we're looking for is we're looking at the short term timeframe charts to give us topping signals as well. And then we start looking for levels of support that are broken. We start seeing levels of support that are broken consistently. That's the sign that we do have a top for the daily timeframe. Again, we take a look at this set of charts here. These are a multi timeframe charts for the NQ. We're focusing on the NQ. Why? Well, because the NQ is one that's giving us that confirmed topping signal. We take a look at the five hour timeframe chart. The five hour timeframe chart has a rogment to indicator top. The only way that gets negated, it's been tested. The only way it gets negated is a close above 17 045 75 out there. We don't have that. Well, we do have a support. So the first key level of support from a pretty decent intraday timeframe chart five hours out there is 16 937. If price were to close, most 16 937, a key level of support will have failed. And that would signal move back to its breakout level. That's at 16 756. We take a look at the four hour timeframe chart. It has triggered wave number seven. It's not present on my system right now. I guess my updated probably. No, it doesn't even show. So it's but it has. Let me just pull this back just a tad. Yeah, so it has entered has entered bar number seven. It's got a rogment to indicator signal as well. Still no confirmed top there, but it is giving us a sign of a potential top. We take a look at the two hour timeframe chart. What do we have here when I open this up? Looks like it's TD nine count top may have been negated. Let me just never had the TD nine count top. It never formed an actual topping signal. All that would took place yesterday was price moved back and tested its bull structure profile support. That tells you how strong 69 63 is as a level of sport for the NQ. So it does have a rogment to indicator signal triggered. It needs a bearish reversal candle for the two hour timeframe in order to generate a topping pattern. Wave number seven on the 60 minute timeframe chart price is still above its oscillator and change line. So that says it's really a neutral signal at best and it's above the top of its profile levels only a close blow 16 969 at this stage of the game would suggest we could have a change in trend. That would signal price targeting the 16 924 level. We come back for this break. We'll finish looking at the NQ. We'll start taking a look at some of the requested have come in Gmail watch they could look at Microsoft Jimmy D. Envx BYON and CWH.

Now we're going to go size down to the 10 minute and the 15 minute charts. The reason we are is because they're the ones that have got the topping pattern. So we can see that each of them form TD9 count tops. We take a look at the daily chart. If you go take a look at the upper left hand side, each of you that have listened to the show, you know how these topping patterns typically work out there. They don't always identify the top or the bottom, but when they are present, it certainly gets the hair on the back of your neck to stand up. So here's the TD9 count top on the 15 minute timeframe and the 10 minute. So what we can see here, and when looking at the 10 minute specifically, in fact, since it's the shorter timeframe, we can probably look at a five minute chart and see if we've got any kind of signal there. But here we can see that when you get a top, it works the same way on a intraday chart as it does on a daily timeframe chart. We're agnostic to timeframe that we're looking at. We're not agnostic to the instrument. All we need is the instruments, price, open, high, low, close, and a few tools out there, the Roadsman Dominicator signal, the TD9 counts, the Chapman Wave counts, assist us as well. Here what we can see is that when you get a top, all that is really authorizing sellers to do is push price back and test support. And here we can see that's exactly what transpired thus far. So if you were short the NQ and you were an intraday trader in a very short term timeframe, very short term lease, this is not a very bearish sign out there. Price is done exactly what it's supposed to do. Pull back, test support. Does it break through support? If it breaks through support, then we know we've got something to look at to the short side. If it doesn't break through support, well, support is held. That's what it's supposed to do. Now at this stage here, the signal for the 10 minute timeframe is neutral out there. But if it does close above the high of the day out there, then it tells you about for the 10 minute timeframe chart, a strong upward momentum move. Now the 15 minute timeframe chart as we look at it, it also has a TD9 count on top. It did not make it back to its oscillator and chains on that would have been our fallback position on the 10 minute chart of price it closed below the oscillator and change line. It has not done that. It does have a bowler structure profile. So there's two resistance levels in the NQ intraday. If you are trading this, the first is going to be the high of the day. The high of the day out here is at 17073. That's a TD9 count top for both the 10 and 15 minute timeframe. We take a look at the new profile that's formed. It's at 17063. Support would be between the 1701 and 1702 level out there for the NQ. So at this stage of the game, you've got some longer term potential topping signals out here, but we really need to see the short term levels fail. That's what we have. We take a look at the NQ. Now we come back, take a look at other equity future contracts and things of that sort and we'll be happy to do that. But why don't we do this first year? Why don't I start take a look at some of the requests that have come in and we'll at least get through those. And once we do that, then no, you know, before I do that, let me just do this here. Let me give you one last piece for some numbers for each of you that you could put down on your pad of paper since we've come this far together. And that's this. And now here is one of the one of the tools that's included in one form or another inside either the daily edition, the morning edition or the evening edition out there. And here what I'm showing now, I've kind of sized this down for show purposes here, but I've got that if you take a look along the left hand side, you see the different instruments in the categories. I've got the equity futures, which we've basically belabored at this stage, but I've got the index ETFs. I've got the equal weighted ETFs. I didn't put the one up for the Dow. I should got the sectors with inside the SB 500, the Magnificent Seven and the top weighted Dow stocks. The only thing that's not in that top weighted Dow stock would be Microsoft. I can't put two symbols on one column at the same time. So you just have to look up to Microsoft, but that would be your time. Now those top stocks inside the Dow represent more than 50 percent of its weighting. So I'm looking for here. I've just focused on the TD nine count since there are problem. Now all of this is as of last night's close out there. So we already have the star next to it tells you you've got a confirmed pattern out there in the case of the Dow. It's also confirmed pattern as of this morning out there, but here you can see you've got the spy, the Q's, the diamonds as well. You've got the equated ETF inside the QQEW with inside the sectors, the XLK. So it doesn't have a star here. What that's telling us is you've got bar number eight that completed, but bar eight was not the high of the pattern. So it's got to come today, a bar nine, or it has to come tomorrow. Otherwise it can still complete a TD nine count. It's just not one that generates a topping signal that you and I would be looking for. You have the same thing inside the industrials, inside the communication sector. You've got a TD nine count top as well. You can now hear what I've done. I've done this for you. I did this for subscribers this morning. We didn't have all of these instruments at that stage, but we were take a look at the progression. Kind of like a quarterback out here. So when you get the topping signal, then the most important thing is to understand where are support levels. We already discussed how oftentimes or most times the first level of support on the way down is going to be that oscillator and change line. So I've got that listed here as OUL target. That would be the target outside. So in the case of the NQ, it's trading at 17.050. That first target, the oscillator and change line, 16.840. You can see it changing second by second. So you use that as a guideline. Price closing below that, then it would be profile levels. Is it above the top of profile? Well, in this case here for the NQ, the answer to that is yes. So you go 16.847 would be one. A level of support, 16.372 is a second level. A third level, 16.088. The fourth level, 16.372. And then the final level would be where price broke out from inside the NQ. So you can go ahead and take a snapshot of this. That's how you would use mastering probabilities data with inside its newsletter to assist you with a individual trade. You may take a different trade than I would suggest. That's totally cool. That's the whole purpose of really writing the newsletter is to be able to educate you, provide you with the information, provide you with the data so that you can also take action on your own. So that's what's going on. Overall, we take a look at either the Mag7, the top Dow stocks, the sectors inside the S&P 500, and so on and so forth. Now, the reason I don't have the indices up here is because on the indices, I really don't have useful profile levels. So for the indices like the Dow, like the NASDAQ 100, we use the futures contract. But we can also use, or you can use, since you may not have access to that, you can also use the index ETFs to try to understand what is being communicated to you. The futures contract is better because we've got more hours of trading out there, and this is really all about pattern recognitions, about price discovery, and the patterns out there. So the more data, the better off that we are. Okay, so now let's go take a look at the request that began coming in this morning, the first one from G-Man, and he wants to take a good Microsoft. Happened to mention Microsoft, so we're going to go take a look at it. Now, what Microsoft is doing out here at G-Man, and we've discussed this here for really probably about the last week or so, nothing has changed just yet, and that is a good old-fashioned consolidation. And it's a consolidation in right now, in between the profile level. So that makes it even easier at support, and we know that it's been tested five times, at least five times or so. So the level of support, the area of support is 365 to 366. Now I'm rounding there, it's 365-16 to be exact, 366-76 to be exact. Price on my screen shows Microsoft trade at 374-29. It's actually trade at 374-77. Why is that important? Well, the importance there, G-Man, is that a price does close above the top of its profile. The top of its profile is up at the 374-75 level. Odds then would favor, it wants to make and move up to the next resistance area. What we just did here, when we took a look at that, a market analyzer and all those instruments, we went through the progression much like a quarterback might do, you know, if he's got a passing play or whatever the play might be out there, we go through steps of progression. Here, if price is able to close above the top of the profile, again that level in Microsoft is 374-75, then we look for the next level of resistance. Where is that, I ask you? The answer is very simple. It's at 378-25 as we speak right now. That's a green oscillator and chainsaw. We'll finish taking a look at Microsoft, we'll get back to this break, then ENVX, BYO and CWH and move. Oh, it looks like we got Napa, Napa Valley and SLCA. We'll be right back.

Welcome back, folks. We're taking a look at Microsoft out here. We just spent a little time on the daily timeframe. What we're going to do right now is take a look at the monthly timeframe. And so the daily timeframe has a TD9 count of Rosemont to mitigate our top. Again, all it's really led to is a test of support, which it's supposed to do. So in essence, it's really bullish. But we can't call this bullish because we still have that top out there. So we're going to go more in kind of the neutral type sense, the sideways consolidation that's going on. On a weekly basis, as an example, G-Man, there is no top that's in place out here. Now, if priced this week by Friday, we're able to spike above this level here, this level being 384.30, then you could get a, you would get a TD9 count top for the weekly timeframe. Short of that inside the weekly chart, all you have is a consolidation with inside a profile. And we can also see G-Man that the push lower has always found support on the weekly chart, has found support of that green oscillator and change line. So it's bullish. It's absolutely bullish. And the monthly chart is super bullish. It's Uber bullish. Why? Well, the swing, it's taken out a couple of swing points. The first swing point that it took out was back in November of 2021. 509 million shares. What we was taking out was, was 564 million shares. Another swing point that formed out here in July of 2023. Now that had 666 million shares. So that swing was not taken out with volume out there, but that's not the swing point that I would use for a large A to B equal CD pattern to the upside. I would be using this swing point, the one from October of 2021, because there was enough of a pullback, in fact, a pullback on a monthly basis that formed a TD9 count bottom, right at its breakout level of support of 211.94. So it's such a large A to B equal CD pattern to the upside. There's no reason for me to put that in there. It's going to give us a price projection of somewhere around, I don't know, around 250 and top of 700, 6700 easily, something like that. So we're not going to do that at this stage of the game. We won't do that until the daily TD9 count roadsmen to Mindicator top gets taken out there. So that's what I see when I take a look at Microsoft in summary.  And that's what the charts for Microsoft are telling us as of 11.33 in the morning. I do hope that that helps you out. The next request was to take a look at ENVX. So let's get over and take a look at it. And ENVX is trading at about, I'm going to tell you exactly where it's trading. So I get over to this chart here, ENVX. It's trading at my white background screen as it says 14.44, 14.35. Now what it's doing is it did complete a sell the D point pattern. We can see I've got that C to D leg. I gave us that price projection. We got close enough to it and we formed a bearer sash candle. That was on December 18, just a couple of days ago and that confirmed that sell the D point pattern. So you know the routine here. Now this happens to be one of the routines where the oscillator and change line is below the support of its daily profile. It's a bullet structure profile. So price is traded into today. ENVX Jimmy has traded into its buy zone. So it does have a top but it also has a buy zone that's been established by those profile levels. That's between 1368 and 1405. So the resistance level still has to be taken out. That's at the 1478 level. Excuse me. In order to negate it's sell the D point pattern. All right. So it's got to sell the D point. What do we have on a weekly chart? The weekly chart is going to form bar number eight of a TD nine count this week. Because that says you could see a top between this week and the next two out there. The monthly chart says I want to make a run for 2066. The reason it says I want to make a run for 2066 is because price is traded above the center of its bullet structured profile. That's at 1255. So again, we know it's not going to make a run to 2066 unless price takes out that sell the D point pattern and that would require a close above 1478. So the weekly says caution. The daily says I've got a sell signal. Right now you just have to watch how price deals with support. Again, between 1368 and then 1405 and any close below 1368 you know the next area of sport and that would be at 1331. And of course if that were to fail out there then you're talking about getting back to its breakout level and that's about a 50 percent haircut. Not exactly. But it would get us back to eight dollars and seventy six cents. I am not making this call that this is headed back to eight seventy six again as progression. It's about understanding where support and resistances as well as the patterns that we take a look at. So that's what we see. We take a look at ENBX. Hope that helps you out. Jamie had a couple more requests. One was for BYON. So let's get BYON up on our charts. Let's figure out what BYON is. I don't think I've ever looked at this stock chart. BYON helps me if I spell correctly. So what this is doing or what this has in store for it has two different topping signals that have been triggered today. Jimmy the first is a bar nine of a TD nine count and as long as price closes above and it should be able to do that as long as price today closes above twenty five oh six you will get a confirmed TD nine count top now that top may not take place till tomorrow. That's when the pattern completes. You can also see that it has entered wave number seven and wave number seven simply needs a lower high to confirm that pattern. It doesn't matter that we have two topping patterns. One is sufficient out there. So on our progression set of steps out there where's the first level of support exactly. It's at twenty four forty five. So you guess when you can read my charts by yourself by just popping them on the screen and looking at them. That's that's power. So that's the first level of support and then the price closed below that we know the next levels of support are twenty oh two eighteen fifty one seventeen seventy five and below that the breakout level of fifteen forty three. Even though it's got a topping signal it's still neutral. It's above profiles above the green oscillator change line. Now the weekly chart for beyond ink is going to form bar number seven. There's nothing bearish about it suggesting it wants to get up to thirty one seventy seven. In order for that to happen the TD nine count wave seven tops will have to get negated. The monthly chart says I'm running right up into resistance and resistance for it is the top of its profile. That's at twenty six eighty four. So you have twenty six eighty four is a resistance level. You've got a. You've got a wave seven and a TD nine count top likely to form. Today complete that pattern at least the TD nine count top by tomorrow. You should see a pullback out there. If the weekly chart is going to be correct price will find support at that twenty four forty five ish area and then move higher from there and negate the patterns and then we're back on our way. Towards that thirty one seventy seven levels that's what I see right now. Jimmy on a very short term basis by the way I didn't notice here my eye caught this roads but the indicator signal that could complete at twelve noon. Right now you've got a bearish reversal candle again same set of progression steps where's the oscillator and change line.

fund services LLC this program is brought to you by Vista Gold traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ we know the camping world I formed a TD nine count top out there that's led to a sideways move price trading with insiders profile still has really tested support either 25 15 or 25 98 weekly timeframe chart we don't see anything wrong with that and on a monthly basis what price is trying to do here Jimmy is get up to the 2937 level that is the top of its monthly profile out there I don't see anything else out here well let me take this back let me see do we look at the 30 minute chart can't recall we're going to we put this up on our screen yeah there's nothing here that's really helping us out so let's ignore that for the time being that's all I've got for camping world I do hope that that helps you out again just expect a bumpy ride at this stage until price can close above 28 05 out there Jimmy thank you so much for those three requests much appreciated Dan wants to take a look at the micron MU is the ticker symbol so we take a look at micron out here what do we know we know that it formed a roadsman to mitigate her top either that four days ago and that's when it formed that dark cloud cover candle out there we also know that a new profile formed that new profile has supported 79 99 we talked about price testing support when you form a top turns out today prices tested both those levels of support both the green oscillator and change on it 80 55 and the bottom of that profile it's 79 99 so what that tells stevie what that tells us what buyers and sellers out telling us is that that signal has now been neutralized why because the top has done its job and that job was to push back and test support now if it could have busted through support then we'd be looking at a move further lower where would that further lower move take us to now some people might just say let's go to that gap that does formed out there there's a gap that we have out here price gapped up to the upside let me get my cursor I can tell you what day that was there's a couple gaps out here but the one I'm referring to was from December 11 but what stevie would do and certainly we can look at that that gives us a range that range would be at 76 97 and 75 35 but what stevie would look at is I look at the weekly chart and I'd say okay the next area of support here on a weekly basis even though we don't have any kind of a top will be the oscillator and change line that's currently at 76 60 it gets us down in towards that gap area as well so but that's not that that's not the message we have at 1144 but it is a message to be looking at in case price were to break through that support level but that has not happened the monthly chart is suggesting that micron wants to make a move to 94 07 out there and that's the interesting thing really when we take a look at this because the semiconductor index let me see here let's do this the semiconductor index has not generated a topping pattern at least I don't think it has as of 1145 out here what I mean by that is that's going to be the very right hand chart you've only got bar number seven that makes the high today's going to complete in essence the TD 9 count pattern but we need to see a spike above that is the market going to top without the semis topping out here there's need to be equal CD pattern the upside that extends beyond the high of where we're at the other thing to be taking a look at the XLY by the way that's a discretionary sector that completed a TD 9 count top yesterday the price closes above that high which is 181.88 that negates that signal and in the case of the XLK in order to generate a TD 9 count top prices got a spike today or tomorrow above 192.80 it's hard for me to see the market really topping without those three things taking place out there at least two of those three things taking place out there so really when we took a look at the chart there Dano for Micron that's what took me over there was a take look at the semiconductor index really the micron chart is kind of saying the same kind of thing although we don't have a topping signal inside of the semis out there let's go Rose wants to take a look at SLCA I believe that is the silica the sand company out there US silica holdings been a long time since we've taken a look or I've taken a look at this so what do we have out here we've got a new profile that recently formed and prices consolidating with inside that Rose you've got a support level it's a very key support area it's a strong bullish support area that's between 1118 and 1129 the resistance level that prices try to take out today is up at 1161 we're actually trading 1157 right now so it could be you're just consolidating your silica is just consolidating with inside those profile levels if you do get a close above 1161 that would be a bullish outcome now that bullish outcome would then suggest price could be targeting the 1241 level 1241 is a TD 9 account breakdown area the weekly time frame chart says a stevo even if price can close above 1161 it's got resistance at 1178 and I would have to say Rose that the weekly chart is correct so even if you get above that you need to break or it needs to break it needs to close above 1178 to then suggest that it's rally on and rally on on the daily is 1241 on the weekly is between 1296 and 1369 and finally 1405 on a monthly time frame chart what silica holdings has done is pulled back into its bullish structure profile area that's between $10 at 1128 so that's what I see when I take a good silica you got a consolidation with inside profiles you need to see a close above 1178 to tell you once that make that move higher out there let's look at our next request that's from Napa N-A-P-A and Napa N-A-P-A is us for Dan inside the Tigers Den that is the Duckhorn portfolio now this is something Stevie can wrap his head around if we go take a look at Napa what this generated is a rose meant to indicator signal and to confirm that with a bullish hammer candle a couple days ago now what we have it looks like is an A to B equal CD pattern to the upside the B point out here that's the trading day of December 14th generated volume of one million shares now so far today you've done 164,000 shares in two hours of trading so price is not exactly not say price volume is pretty minimal compared to that swing point but nonetheless you close above that that's still going to trigger an A to B equal CD pattern to the upside for Napa out here so maybe it's not the Cabernet version it's the Merlot version of Duckhorn out there I do like the Duckhorn it's not my favorite Merlot but you know in a pinch if that's what you're going to drink I'd rather stick with those Italian Merlons I don't know about you but Stevie would prefer to stick with the Italian Merlons now this A to B equal CD pattern looks like it's just going to get us up into this gap the bottom of that gap level is up at the is down exactly 1004 area now on a weekly basis what Duckhorn portfolio could be triggering is a beautiful rogement of indicator bottom out there and if it does that what you should see here Dan his price go a row does for Dan should go target 1039 to 1075 and on a monthly basis you've got a TD9 count bottom that is going to complete this month so we like what we see here you got a confirmed bottoming on the daily you might get a confirmed bottoming on the weekly that comes on Friday and on the monthly chart you've got a TD9 count bottom we might have to put Napa on our list of stocks that should be owned out there thanks so much for taking a look at that Dan and bringing that to our attention let's go take a look at John C. wants to take a look at the rising volatility index out there and and that's a great question so I'm going to go ahead and change screens out here maybe change a couple of screens I don't think I get all this done before the break out there but I'll show you what he's really asking about first I believe and I'm going to get back to a chart here that will take a look at that and that is this chart here so here I'm going to show you a number of different instances where you can see where we have tops where you have price rising this is the S&P 500 that we're looking at the top if you look at the bottom you saw a rising bottoms pattern not a closing basis so I've got a few of those shown right here turns out that's a pattern that is in play right now that remains in play by the way unless we see a close below 1207 spot volatility right now is at 1234 we come back we'll finish taking a look at that and then we'll try to get the GDX and LBS real quickly for Hector and Nicholas you might think that if you want to

traders just visit the front page of tfnn.com John inside the Tiger's Den was really kind of reading my mind I think what I started doing yesterday John was I started taking a look at the instances when we had a rising spot follow Tillnex and we formed a top inside of the market in the S&P 500 specifically out here and what I found because there's plenty of other instances when we have a rising tops out here and so I can show you those but I don't want to do that because I only have about a minute and a half left so what I've started to identify is what was happening with the S&P 500 when do we actually see the top but turned out that that rising spot volatility index was when we actually formed topping signals inside the S&P 500 here back on the trading day of July 27th that was a roadsman Dominicator top we're now right now in the presence of forming ATD 9 count top if we pull this back further let me try to do that here some of these other tops so we took a look at here is a roadsman Dominicator top with rising spot follow Tillnex that's back on November the 20th we had another one wave number 7 top that formed out here this is back on January the 4th at the beginning of the year so I think that this is more pertinent right now the rising spot follow Tillnex and a reason for us to truly be on guard doesn't mean that it's going to turn into a top but certainly for us to be on guard okay real quickly with regard to the GDX Hector and Patty the GDX is just simply consolidating with inside his daily profiles you've got resistance up at the 3162 level and support it 3046 out there price needs to take out the B point of an A to B we'll see you the upside with more than 33 million shares that's a trading day of December 1st out there and finally with regard to Las Vegas Sands LBS this is ridiculous Las Vegas Sands has found resistance up at his TD 9 count breakdown level 4923 levels of support are 4771 below that 4674 out there folks thanks so much for joining me today please join me tomorrow 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. when I record the show I'll try to make it as pertinent as I can for the 11 and noon timeframe have a wonderful Wednesday we'll see you tomorrow take care


Many people who are involved with civil court cases find the process time consuming, costly and stressful. Equally however many of these people may be unaware that there is an alternative to court proceedings which can result in a much more positive experience than outcome. I'm Margaret Mitchell MSP for Central Scotland and I'm lodging a draft proposal for a members bill to improve both the use and consistency of mediation services in Scotland. My proposed bill will make it mandatory for anyone involved in civil legal action unless it relates to an issue excluded in the bill to meet with a duty mediator to find out what mediation can do for them. Thereafter it will be for that individual crucially to make an informed choice about whether to mediate or not. I hope you will respond to the consultation on my proposed bill and I very much look forward to reading these responses.

cozy charm that larger rooms might lack rent payable in advance two weeks I'll be downstairs waiting good and you Jane don't dawdle about you have work to do my yes I'll expect you downstairs very shortly don't take too long Jane say I'm not entirely sure I know where everything is in this capacious area you'd better point things out to me well there's nothing to show really there there's the wash stand the bed the chair and what about towels and soap remember charming lady cleanliness is next to godliness well if I move any higher I shall be as near to heaven as one can come in this

again ever that's a long time I mean it I never want to see you again Jane kept her resolved for several days but before long she found herself forgiving him she even accepted his invitation to attend the theater after it was over they strolled home in the warm evening over the darkened streets well Jane how did you like to play I've never seen anything like it in all my life I thought it was wonderful I'm glad for you we didn't you think it was fine it was adequate adequate yes my dear you take that scene with Hamlet the one in which he reproaches himself for not keeping faith with his dead father well that particular sequence called for the utmost subtlety I thought the actor did it beautifully yes he did especially if he were auctioning some merchandise off Jane dear those lines call for feeling he didn't have it all right do you know anyone who could have done them better yes who myself you are an actor why not look Ben if you really do think you can act why don't you try your hand at it instead of instead of loafing well yes listen to me I've done more than my share of physical toil in the past I was a bricklayer for years really well look Ben why don't you go back into the trade you could get a job right away I just know you could of course I could but that's not my problem no dear Jane I hate to be a disappointment to you but I don't think I'll return to honest labor oh that's all wrong matter of argument some people Jane are destined for the more menial tasks of the world others of us are placed here to exist on lofty planes and you you're one of the so-called higher geniuses modesty forbids me from admitting it but I must bow to your accusation yes Jane I shall be a great actor all right Ben if that's your honest feeling good luck but do something about it don't just talk and when are you going to start in being an actor or whatever you plan to be well tomorrow hardly day after I really don't see it next week oh no yeah you are you see just a moment what are you lighting that match for I'm going to see the color of your eyes when you were angry yes yes they're even more lovely when you're upset I don't know what to do about you

and for all it's Jane ah you may well be proud of her madam I am and I want to stay that way Jane was perfectly fine till you came around now she's changed and am I the cause of this transformation yes moving poems into her ear and talking those big words be a whole lot better off if you went out and got a good job somewhere now I'm going to be perfectly frank with you frankness is a virtue in itself you're not to see my niece anymore do you understand madam I appreciate the deep interest you display toward your charming niece but I for one have never taken orders from anyone and I most assuredly shall not start now then you refuse to leave the girl alone your choice of words is most awkward look I have a much simpler solution to this problem why not leave the matter entirely up to Jane is she downstairs don't you dare call her Jane Jane would you please come up here right away I must drag the girl into this mess say you aren't very complimentary Jane dear you're right and I have just had a little discussion about you about me yes it seems you're not questions the motives that prompt me to seek your company she insisted I stopped seeing you entirely I don't quite understand Jane how do you honestly feel toward me well I I think you're very nice and you well do you think you could learn to love me I don't know I haven't had if I went to work would that make any difference I think it would very well Jane dearest would you marry me what are you I'm asking you to take my name will you oh but I don't you ready then then I should be honored to be your wife and so

firm and took over the role of faithful provider Jane was never happier in her entire life oh I'll be right there how you're going to love it you're very favorite roast pork applesauce and cherry pie what brought this special offering oh I just felt that we needed some bolstering of the spirit slightly you haven't been up to your usual witty self for the past several days Ben are you feeling all right I'm perfectly well Jane I'm hardly the type that gets physical ailments I'm afraid well there's something on your mind are you worried over money matters we're going to get by all right in a few weeks I'm learning how to manage much better on what you earn and well it won't take I've never worried about money in the past Jane and I don't propose to start now then there is something on your mind what is it don't worry about it eat your food but I have to worry Ben are you unhappy with me I love you more than I ever did no Jane no it's not you at all oh then what is it I have to know well

loafer if you will Jane I love you as much as I ever did but this sudden transition is too much for me all at once what are you trying to tell me Ben Jane I've got to go away for a while anywhere

Felly we have general questions. Question number one, Neil Bibby. To ask the Scottish Government how many teachers are in post and how that compares with May 2007. Cabinet Secretary, Michael Russell. Is adding officer, between 2007 and 2010, teaching posts fell by 3077, with almost half of those, 48.3 per cent lost in just eight labour councils. Fully one in five of those posts were lost in just one council, Labour run Glasgow council. Since 2011 we have had an agreement with cyfnod aglomer rounds, a i efo'r gweledig weithio arri dda i ddwylo'r ffutffordd i ddwylo arleidio.

Felly yn gweithio i ddiddordebwyr 150 yn j interrog. Mae'n ddiddordebwyr 2007, ladwch yn chyeilog, a ddiwy Glasgow council has continued to cut teacher numbers. We have managed to stabilise teacher numbers oing to an agreement that I secured with COSLA. I think yet again without the support of the Labour Party who never support any reasonable actions to make sure that our schools operate well. If the member would like to continue to support me in ensuring that COSLA does not, COSLA members do not cut teacher numbers, I would welcome that support and the first thing he could do is go and speak to Gordon Matheson and tell him to stop cutting teacher numbers. Fasal Scottish Government will action it is taking to support the construction industry in the north-east of Scotland. We continue to support the construction industry in the north-east and throughout Scotland by investing in capital expenditure, despite the cuts of around one-quarter by the UK Government to our capital budget. In the north-east, investment infrastructure has a share of the £10.8 billion local government allocation. There is continued investment in, for example, both Afford and Ellin academy, the new Inverruri health centre hub, Aberdeen royal infirmary campus, there is investment in the Aberdeen western peripheral route, Balmedy tipperty scheme, the Aberdeen to Inverness rail improvements, the A96 Inveramsey bridge, the A947 mini interchange hubs and HMP Grampian on top of the building of Merran's academy in Aberdeenshire to name but a few. In the interests of time, I have not covered the many other investments in the north-east nor those outside Aberdeen city or Shire. I am grateful for your brevity, Richard Baker. I could suggest a few more, but the construction of the Aberdeen western peripheral route offers significant opportunities for the construction industry in the north-east, which has seen closures and job losses over recent years. Can the minister assure me that, in concluding the final contract with the preferred bidder for the AWPR, the right emphasis will be placed on using community benefit clauses as they will help to create a level playing field for local businesses bidding for subcontracts and also given the appropriate waiting in tenders, because if they are waited at a small fraction of the waiting given to cost, as they have been in the past, we can considerably the impact of their inclusion in those contracts? I think that Mr Baker does make some reasonable points there, and he will be aware that I am not personally the minister that is responsible for overseeing the implementation of procurement contracts. However, I most certainly shall have discussions with my colleague Keith Brown, who has that responsibility. I am very pleased that the Labour Party recognises the great value of the investment in the Aberdeen western peripheral route and the Balmadea Tipperty scheme, which is expected to bring in an additional £6 billion to the local economy and create 14,000 new jobs, which I can assure all members is hugely welcomed by everyone in Aberdeen City and Shire. To ask the Scottish Government what action it has taken to ensure that anyone who may need help with a mental health problem can access appropriate help easily and receive treatment quickly. Minister Michael Matheson, we have made significant progress in delivering the commitments in the national mental health strategy 2012-2015. For example, Scotland was the first part of the UK to introduce a target from December this year for speed of access to mental health services. We know that weights of up to one in two years were common before we introduced this target. We still have further improvements to make, but the latest position shows that the average weight for access to psychological therapies is eight weeks and access to specialist children and adolescent mental health services is nine weeks. I am sure that the member would recognise that that is significant progress. Alex Rowley. I thank the minister for his response. However, given that the Scottish Association of Mental Health recently reported that in Scotland 25 per cent of people who experience a mental health problem will wait more than a year before they seek help and that additionally anesthimied to 800,000 adults a year will not know where to access help, would the minister agree with me that having trained mental health first aiders and all of our communities would help to quickly identify those who need assistance and direct them to support services and what is the Scottish Government doing to promote the mental health first aiders programme and increase the number of trained mental health first aiders in Scotland? I think that the member makes a very good point. It is widely recognised that there are many individuals who may have a mental health problem and they can leave it at an extended period of time before they seek assistance from clinicians in a key part of the strategy that we have taken forward in order to encourage people to access help through the anti-stigma campaign, the CME campaign, in order to remove the stigma that is often associated with mental health, which can often act as a barrier to individuals seeking help in the first place. The issue of the mental health first aiders programme is a very valuable one and is an important part to play. One of the areas of work that we are going to take forward as part of the mental health strategy is to look at how we can continue to improve access to mental health services, including aspects such as the mental health first aiders programme. I would be more than happy to discuss that matter in further depth with the member if he would find that helpful. In this week of remembrance, does the minister agree with me that organisations like Horseback UK are to be congratulated on providing mental health services for veterans in a most unusual but very therapeutic manner? Those organisations have got a very important point to play. I recognise that the best way in which we can continue to improve mental health services is through working with the voluntary sector and with our statutory agencies in order to make sure that we deliver the best possible services for those who can benefit from them. To ask the Scottish Government how many civil service jobs it has transferred to Dundee or has established in the city since 2007. The Scottish Government currently has 105 members of staff working in the city of Dundee, mainly within the office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and Education Scotland, and those staff move across the Scottish Government on assignment. Which Labour transferred to Dundee? The Scottish Government has not transferred one single service job to Dundee since it came to power in 2007. That is despite SNP members in Dundee making their names on campaigning for Scottish civil service jobs to be transferred to our city, and those are the press releases from Shona Robison MSP. Order! Can we get a question, Ms Marra? We still wait for the 750 renewables jobs that the SNP Government promised Dundee. What progress is the Government making on that? I am unaware of having received any specific suggestion put to me by the member, or I am unaware of having received any specific suggestion, any positive constructive suggestion, either from the member or from her party involving any specific public body or part thereof being relocated to Dundee. I gently point out that it is open to the Opposition to put forward policy proposals. Can I respond, however, by saying that Dundee is a great city to which the Scottish Government is entirely devoted and supportive? Amongst that support has included £26 million of capital from NHS Scotland's pharmaceutical special service, anouncement recently of Dundee community care centre of £20 million, two new schools, reprevision of the adolescent mental health and patient service and, of course, the VNA on the Tay, which will create local jobs and contribute significantly to the regeneration of the city, a project of £45 million. On those benches, we are entirely supportive of the city of Dundee, we are investing in the city of Dundee and we will continue to do so. Can I just gently point out to ministers and members that if we are going to make progress, the questions and the answers need to be a bit shorter? To ask the Scottish Government what importance it places on the delivery of a high-quality music experience for primary school children. We attach great importance to the delivery of a high-quality music experience for all children, including those in primary schools. Every school pupil is entitled to a broad general education within curriculum for excellence. That includes specific experiences and outcomes in music education in the expressive arts curriculum area. The provision and delivery of education services, including music, is, of course, a matter for each local authority to decide based on local need, circumstances and spending priorities. The Scottish Government has invested a total of £107.5 million into the youth music initiative over the past 12 years. I thank the cabinet secretary for his response, but is the cabinet secretary aware that Stirling Council's Labour Conservative administration has again brought forward a savings option to remove special-it music teaching that will have a huge impact on the musical experience of about 6,000 pupils. Does the Scottish Government share my view that to bring back that savings option after only eight months having discounted it will have a severe impact on the morale of music teachers involved and will leave parents and parent council members feeling that they have not been listened to, and that this is no way to treat people? I hear noises off, which seem to be arguing that all education should be entirely run from the centre. That was the burden of Mr Bibby's question, the burden of what I've heard on the benches muttering when Mr Crawford is asking a question. If that is their position, let them put that forward. If it is not their position, then let us recognise that when local authorities make their decisions, they are subject to review and, yes, sometimes criticism. I am aware of this proposal. It's a disappointing proposal, particularly given the work of David Greene and the work that he did supported across by all parties to make sure that, indeed, Mr Greene's report was launched at an event sponsored by a Labour MSP. There should be a priority given to music education, and I am sorry that this cut is back on the agenda. I hear Labour members still shouting about it. If they want a centralised service, let them call for it. If they don't want that service, let them come up with some idea, any idea, because usually from Labour, there are no ideas. I wonder if the cabinet secretary would agree that every single local authority in Scotland is facing another round of savage cuts. In doing so, they have been forced to examine every potential saving, however unpalatable many of those are, to every member in this chamber. Until the Government stops the council tax freeze, which is not a progressive tax and which Labour in its manifesto said would stop after two years, until it releases local authorities from the straight jacket that you have imposed on them, it will continue to have to examine unpalatable cuts. Thank you, Presiding Officer. There are so many answers to that, I almost don't know where to start. Let's start with the Dunfermline by-election in which the Labour Party argued that they had invented the council tax freeze. Apparently they don't even want to acknowledge it. The reality of the situation is that local authorities make their decisions on education within the context of a budget that has been protected by this Government. This Government has worked incredibly hard to protect that Government, but—and this is a big but, Presiding Officer—there are consequences of actions. If Dr Simpson was arguing some months ago that we were better together, they let him prove it, because it looks to me in financial terms that it simply isn't true. Question 6, Nigel Doll. To us, Scottish Government, what progress has this made on the provision of a grade-separated junction for the A937-A90 at Lawrence Kirk? The Scottish Government is committed to identifying our robust solution for access to Lawrence Kirk as soon as possible and is currently working with partners Nestrans and Aberdeenshire Council on this. Public exhibition on the options at Lawrence Kirk is planned for January, where the outcomes of the study will be shared prior to finalisation early next year. A decision will then be taken with our partners on a preferred solution that best meets the objectives for improving the A90 at Lawrence Kirk. Nigel Doll. I think that the minister for his reply, but I would draw his attention to information from France, what Scotland, and I'm quoting that, determining applications for planning consent in Lawrence Kirk, we have maintained our position that no new development should proceed before a scheme of grade separation is delivered. As I read that minister, that means that nobody can have a planning application either for housing or a business passed until we have a grade-separated junction. I'm wondering minister how on earth we're going to get passed this impasse. Minister? Of course, the planning decisions are taken by the planning authority in relation to this. Transport Scotland can, of course, and they're obliged to make recommendations, and their priority is and always will be to make sure that we maintain the record of road safety. On that particular road, no fatal or serious accidents since 2005, we want to protect that record and continue that. The principle, of course, is that local authorities will take decisions on planning matters. For my part, I'm willing to be as flexible as possible with the local authority in how we actually phase this. I've also asked officials to establish a meeting with the local authority and with Nestrans to see if we can advance the reports as fast as possible that I mentioned earlier. To see that we can come to solution, people want to develop in this area. We want to have the best possible road safety record as well. Those two things should come together, and I'm intended to make sure that we do that. Question 7, Bob Doris. To ask the Scottish Government how it will encourage and support small businesses to pay employees the living wage. The Scottish Government fully supports the living wage campaign, and we recognise the real difference that the living wage can make to the people of Scotland. The Scottish Government is the first and the only Government in the UK to include the living wage and its pay policy, and we have done so for the past five years. Although we are not able to set pay levels in the private sector, we encourage all public, private and third sector organisations to ensure that all staff on lower incomes receive a fair level of pay. To that effect, the Scottish Government is funding a pilot by the poverty alliance, with the aim of increasing the number of employers across Scotland paying the living wage. I'm pleased to say that the number of accredited companies in Scotland has tripled since that work began earlier this year. Minister, I welcome the progress that has been made, but many, however, including myself, believe that ultimately over time Scotland's minimum wage should be brought in line with the living wage. Does the minister agree with me that control over all leavers of taxation, particularly in this instance, national insurance, can support businesses moving towards the living wage and that ultimately control over the minimum wage itself should be devolved to Scotland so that in the future we can work towards placing the living wage on a statutory footing in Scotland for all workers, public or private? Minister, the chamber may be unsurprised to learn that I entirely agree with Mr Doris's sentiments and views. The UK national minimum wage has not increased in real terms in nearly a decade, and every year since 2008 has failed to increase in line with the cost of living. Of course, the Scottish Government is clear that we need new powers here substantively to address the issues of low pay. I am delighted that our First Minister, and since this is my last occasion on which to say so, are esteemed. First Minister has announced plans to establish a fair work convention on 15 October 2014. What is another golden legacy to add to his collection?
