Hello everyone and welcome to my presentation about defaults, cloning, referencing and content prototypes and the editor's user experience for similar content creation. I'll say a few words about myself first. So my name is Simo Helsten. I'm a full stack developer at Druid in Finland. I studied computer science in Helsinki and Tampere universities. My first Drupal site went live in 2007. That was Drupal 5 at the moment at that time. I'm a member of the Drupal UX team and I follow Drupal accessibility issues. I also participate in W3C Cognitive Accessibility Community Group and the Nordic Accessibility Group. I'm a member of the International Association for Accessibility Professionals. In my free time I train with Japanese weapons and play with fire. At home I have waiting for me four dogs, four cats, a spouse and a daughter. You can see one dog and one cat in the picture. Depends if it's feeding time. But about creating similar content. If there's something that computers are great at, it's automating things. But still we do a lot of things manually when we use those computers. Many of us are still used to copy-pasting information from docs to a web page. And often we sometimes have some kind of a text where we copy-paste things to several different pages. And sometimes we need to create a lot of content that is almost the same, but not exactly. Like maybe some customer certificates, time-bound products or targeted newsletters. Or things that are the same and parts that are different. And in this kind of things automation can help. But there are different kinds of ways to automate things or make things semi-automatic. So some of the cases where we use this kind of content replication is when we have a partially same content that we use for grouping pieces of other stories. Like it's very common to use taxonomy terms to group different collect blog posts or articles. And sometimes we include short biographies or contact details or some other additional information about the author. So that's kind of using the same content over and over. And that's where we face a challenge when information changes over time. So when the author gets some new role or new information that kind of relates to the new content but not to the old, what should we do? So there is a real life example from a few years back when a program assistant in Zambia wrote news stories to the organization's website. And nine years later the same person was hired as an assessment specialist in the Helsinki office of that organization. And her new role and the content she published was very much different from what she had done before. And we ended up with a dilemma. Should we use the same public profile for the author or different? And how it would affect the nine-year-old stories that were kind of the topic was quite different. And in a way choosing between that kind of fixed content or references or maybe referencing specific versions of content. Mostly it's editorial dilemma, but there are tools that can be used to manage that in the content management system and there are some differences. So here's a kind of a graphical example of the same situation. So we have the author sport with a six-month-old doghound terrier puppy. And he has written two blog posts about experiences from the puppy class. And the profile is referenced there. And five years later sport the doghound terrier is a specialist search dog and writes about the work or like the days of the working dog. So there is a kind of a... It would be difficult to understand puppy class experiences if it would be written by a professional working dog or working dog's life if it would be written by a small dog puppy. Another case where we use similar content is when we have products that have variations. So Drupal.com has a certain support for variations, but this is not the same thing I'm talking about here. So if you have a commerce product that is a dog training class, and people are searching for certain kinds of classes for dogs, and then they have the same name, but there are some differences in the content. So if a dog training class is called puppy class, it's always a course for puppies. It's about basic skills, but there will be some kind of differences there. So sometimes there are changes in the content, in the descriptions that need to be updated, and because some research suggests that some methods would be better for dogs than others, and then we already have sold these kind of classes with the old description, old content, so we don't want to change the information in the old product because if the clients want to reference what was promised and if they got what was promised. And there can be some kind of variations in dog training classes like breed specific class, or sometimes it can be a bit longer or a bit shorter class. And then how to update the classes that are coming in the future and how to manage that kind of content creation process. So that it will be easy to create similar content, but also to keep the old information in the old products. And, yeah, so is it possible to update some of the content with the shared information, but keep content the same in some other that have used the same content. So, yeah, graphical example. So there are different kind of variations for puppy class, so some classes might be outdoors, some indoors, some might be for certain breeds, and some might have long, shorter or longer duration. So there is variation, but most of the content is the same. And then we sometimes want to combine fixed text in content with some kind of variable content. So we might have some kind of newsletter template where we have fixed content and then we pull in some kind of a view or some kind of different kind of information. And, like, we want to store it in a way that is archivable so that the kind of same parts don't change. And there are different kind of ways to use, reuse content and some of the modules I've looked at, they use kind of a mixed terminology. And I kind of, here I a little bit take distance from Drupal terms so that it will be more, a bit more generic.  So I kind of call the basic content, I call page. And I call fields, this kind of atomic parts that are page content. So that's kind of more or less the same as Drupal field. And I call sections when you kind of have a combination of fields that might be put from another page or like if you have a term, taxonomy term with fields and you pull it into a page, then I would call that section. And I call source the original page or that's either duplicated or referenced. Yeah, so whether information is stored that is going to be reused. So the most basic case of reusing content is using field default values. So field UI, that's in the core. So it's kind of always available in Drupal. And it can be sometimes very useful for simple things. But it can be hard to update, especially if you have users who don't have permissions to manage fields or content types. So it's kind of managing the field default values. It's something that requires quite a high user permission. And when you use field default values, if you want to change those defaults, it only affects the newly created content so you can't update everything you have already done. Except if there is a module called field defaults, that's in alpha stage, that can update those change defaults to different content that uses, or content that uses those field values. But it's a very rough method because it doesn't have very fine-grade options to update. So it kind of updates everything, but it's possible. And another very common thing what we use is referencing other content. So this is just when we have taxonomy terms, we reference images, we reference other pages. So we can pull information from other entities. So we have pages that use other pages as sections inside the kind of content that is shown to users, like the views. And here it's very efficient in a way in the way that it keeps the information current when you edit the section or the original source or the information where it was referenced is updated as well. But this is kind of if you have a lot of content and a lot of references and a lot of editors, then they need to be able to keep track where the content is used. And if somebody updates content that is referenced in one place and doesn't realize that the same content is referenced by another page, then it can get a bit funny sometimes. And referencing other content, we have some special cases, such as layered bill or blocks that can be referenced and can be reused. We have paragraphs that are usually not reusable, so we can't easily reference other paragraphs. But there is actually some modules I introduce here that can also do things with reusing paragraphs. And then something that is more versatile to do in Drupal is, oh, I changed the order. So cloning fields from content prototypes. So this is something that doesn't actually yet have a module, but it's more of a concept. So this is something I'm working on a website that has this approach where I use field values from different content so that it copies the field values to the content form. So this is kind of a combination of referencing and field defaults, but instead of using field defaults that are set in field UI, it uses values from different pieces of content. And this is a way how we can separate the permissions for updating values, default values, and we can use a selection of different default values, and we can also combine different sources for different fields. And this is done by referencing the original source, and then it copies the values to the edit form, and then after the new content is stored, then it kind of cuts the connection. So editing the originals doesn't change the piece of content, but it keeps the reference so it's possible to implement a feature that updates select fields. But then the most versatile method of using same content is cloning entities. So cloning entities and editing is one approach to do this. And here we have several different modules that do more or less the same things, but with very different flavor. So one of the methods of cloning is to copy everything from the original source and then save it and then edit that page later. In this method there is a risk, because if to have duplicate values, because if it copies everything, there might be some different kinds of IDs that come from outside Drupal, some strings that should be unique, but need to be added manually or from another source. So like for instance in some medical database, like a pharmacological database, there are different kinds of IDs that are used by officials and it's kind of not easy to handle those through APIs. So in that kind of things there is a risk that the editor forgets to edit a value that was cloned. So because it looks like it's there, it passes validation maybe, but then you would have two same values. And here when you use cloning, you can have many sources of information. So when you have the original that you use to make copies of and start editing them, then you start having different branches and if you want to combine information that's in them, it can be sometimes difficult to decide which one to start working on, but it can be also a strength to have this kind of multiple sources available. But that's one of the very dangerous parts I think with cloning and especially with cloning entities as such is that some of the modules that are available, they clone the entity and save it as published version. So that's something that happens with several modules that can do cloning, but I'll come back to that later. Another way of cloning entities is to copy, like to copy all the values into the same type of content or same type of page, so that you end up in the create form, creating a new create form with the field values copied from the original source. And this is not so dangerous because then it doesn't automatically create published content, but still it has the risk of duplicate values. And here also the editing of the original source doesn't affect the later versions. And this one also has the question of which version to start working from. So here are some of the modules that do cloning. So there is entity clone that is a beta version, there is content entity clone, entity copy with reference and replicate that has at least three different user interfaces. So replicate UI, entity bulk clone and page templates. Those three are such that they use replicate and then there is cloner that is in alpha stage and both replicate and clone they don't have user interface. Those are something that developer can use to build their own ways of doing the cloning. And here is explained a little bit about the different differences with cloning and the status of the content because we usually like to keep the unfinished work out of sight. So here we have that original page that has been published. And then the quickest way to clone content is to just clone it and there will be a published clone. So this is the default method for replicate. And also because there was that bulk version user interface that bulk clones nodes with replicate it's possible to publish a lot of clones at the same time. So that's something that user needs to keep in mind that you should maybe clone things that are not published. Then some modules do so that you take a published page and then you clone it and it is still published but it opens as edit form. So then the user doesn't know that it's already published because you have it open in edit form. And then you can save it either after it has been published and after you edit, then you user can choose if it goes unpublished or published. But that's something that's kind of confusing for the user that you can open a page in edit form and then you don't know that it's already saved as published. Then there is also one option that this is actually the page template module that refuses to accept sources that are published. So you have to first save the original as unpublished then you can convert it as a template and then you can use the template to clone. So that's something that's safe but it can be a bit not so effective sometimes. At least it doesn't publish anything without asking. So this is something that's very important to remember. And then I have a rough comparison of different ways of replicating content. So when the source changes how these different approaches behave so when you're using field values by default when you change the default values none of the content that use those default values changes so they just keep the values that were stored on the pages. And when you clone entities or clone pages then when you edit the source also the clone doesn't change anymore. When you reference other entities when you edit the source also those pages that use reference to that source they change. So that's kind of the referencing it's the only one that keeps content up to date. And with content prototype it behaves just like field default values but as the kind of the reference to the original piece of content so it's possible to implement a method that updates. And this is kind of the same thing that diverging from the source so that when you have default values when there is only one source of truth when you create new content it only uses the values that are currently stored as the default so it's kind of diverging from the original it happens when the original is changed. With clone entities you can end up with different kinds of versions because each new version can be used as a source or usually each version can be used as a new source so you can have different kind of like different kind of branches there and with referencing entities then when you change the original everything changes at the same time so in that sense there is no diversion caused by editing the source and with the content prototypes basically it behaves the same way as field default values and with permissions different ways of reusing content require different kind of permissions and if we want to use field default values which is the most simple one the permission is the user requires for updating the defaults managing fields and that's a very strong permission so that's something that is not very useful for maybe big organizations at least and then again with field defaults you don't need for creating a new page you don't need any extra permissions except to create that kind of content type with cloning entities the original sources are created in the same way as just any content you create afterwards and then you need for creating new pages by cloning you need permission to do that cloning actually you need also permission to view content that was created that's usually given that users can view the content they edit but it's not actually compulsory but for cloning you need to be able to see what you're cloning and then start cloning it and that's a little bit different permissions for different modules and then you create the content when you reference entities you need to be to create the sources you need to be able to create and edit those kind of content types or that kind of type of content you need to be reference and when you create new content you need to be able to view those so that on the form you can reference them and the same goes with that content prototypes because content prototypes uses references for choosing the content from which to copy field default values so when things can go wrong cloning references is something that it can sometimes be a bit complicated because when you clone content several of the modules also clone the references and the user needs to know what are the different kinds of dependencies if there is reference content in the new clone the same references exist in the original so you can't go changing them except some of the modules do so they give option to duplicate the referenced items and that's something that also kind of can cause problems if the editor clones a piece of content that has some taxonomy terms tags and checks box that says make a copy of these terms and then you end up having duplicate tags in your taxonomy, that's also possible and the big thing I mentioned already before and mentioned it again saving clone before reviewing it and saving a published version of the content before giving user access a possibility to review it so that's something that is kind of scary and then it's possible with cloning it's possible to reuse something some kind of an ID string or something that might pass validation but if it's not validated so that it needs to be unique so it's usually better for this kind of string so this kind of values to be able to skip those and it's better to have them empty than to have duplicate values in some cases and yeah, the other side did it like there are different kinds of ways of cloning inside Drupal several different modules so it can be also user interface is different and what they do is different so it's very important for users to know how this site does it and it's something that you don't if you done cloning on one Drupal site it might work quite differently on other if you don't know which module has been used and having limited access to content can cause problems so that the user doesn't know when there is references to the different pieces of content then if the user doesn't know where that content has been used and decides to start editing that kind of that section that has been referenced so it can cause problems and yeah, I didn't find anything that could do clone a node or clone a piece of content so that it would clone some of the reference entities but only reference some so that's kind of a fine-grained version I wasn't able to find I'm not sure there might be something somewhere but I didn't find it and yeah, and when your clone translated content then you also have a kind of choose between two options one is that you clone the whole thing so that you store the entity that you have a let's say English version and Finnish version and then you clone it and then you have English clone and Finnish clone and that's something I don't like because I'd like to see that the content comes to the edit form first so I can review it but of course you can't have two languages on one edit form so you have to choose either having the possibility to review or the possibility to have both languages cloned at once so that's kind of a trade-off so as a summary creating similar content can be done by copying entities into new entities field values to the add form entity add form field content or copying one source to one content or many sources to one content and copying only references or replicating the reference entities as well so there's a lot of variation and yeah, and the best approach how to do it depends on the need to if you need to update multiple content at once so that's with translations or maybe something else and then maintaining single source of truth there is variation if you have single source of truth or if you can have different sources from which to clone and then being fast and never mind the risk so this one relates to just cloning and publishing right away and bulk publishing clones so this is something, sometimes it can be useful but if you have a development site that's not public so you can start building it quite fast and if you need to divide permissions on editing the source and creating new instances because usually, well I didn't mention it I think before if you use cloning you usually clone the same type of content and then you end up, you need to give permissions to do that something like content prototypes you can give permission to view the originals but not to edit them so it's kind of, different methods can use allow to kind of make different permissions and also page templates module allows you to like restricted viewing unpublished content so I have here some of the different ways of cloning so replicate UI this is usage replicate module and with this one the problem is that the replicated content is published right away if the original was published and it's possible to do some configurations on which entities are cloneable with content entity clone it's possible to skip fields so you can choose which fields to clone so this is something I like myself so you can choose which skipping fields so it leaves something blank and this one doesn't I think this one was also so that it doesn't create and publish the content but fills the information into an ad form so this is kind of safe and also the local top so they usually have those tabs either view page either viewing the content or editing the content they had those tabs where you can choose cloning and this is also something that it's a little bit different because some modules only have the link to cloning on the view version of the page and some only on the edit version of the page so there's also that if some user is used to one way it might be hard to find where to click the clone button entity clone this one would be quite powerful you have all those different options to check different configurations but I didn't quite figure out what all those configurations means but this is the module where you can choose if you duplicate also the reference entities so you can duplicate taxidermity terms that may be not so useful but you can also duplicate paragraphs so this is the one that can duplicate paragraphs but it also gives you option to use paragraphs without duplicating them and it has a long warning text that if you have a paragraph field in your entity not to clone it here deleting the original will delete the paragraph in the clone so that's something that I think is quite dangerous but at least there is a warning text but nobody probably reads that but this is a very powerful one but to me it feels like the user interface is a bit difficult to understand and then there is quick node clone which is a very simple approach it just clones the values into a node form and that's very simple it feels very safe only that it clones everything so you can't skip fields from cloning but this is a very simple one and then we have entity copy with reference and so this can either reference or clone the reference entities I think so this is something that but this is kind of it's not per cloning as with the other module but here you can kind of per I think it's per content type you can choose whether to clone or clear or keep the references but also here you can't choose to keep some and clone some and then page template is also using replicate but it has a kind of a I think it's quite intuitive interface so that it forces you to unpublish the original first and then you can convert the original into template and the editor can from the like creating new content and choose to create from template and then it's kind of a the process is kind of a it's not straightforward cloning and it's a bit more safe than other other cloning methods using replicate module and entity bug clone is so you can clone a lot of different like from the content at least you can clone lot of nodes at the same time it uses replicate and therefore it keeps the published state so if you clone bulk clone 10 published pages you get 10 new pages that are published already so this is where the cloning


Here's just a fact, I just, he just posted this on his Twitter account. He says, the ideological takeover of Harvard is nearly complete. We are all stepping in just in time to save it, but it's going to be a fight. And he's citing here a tweet from Nicholas Christakis. And again, Nicholas Christakis is, yeah, he's a professor of social and natural sciences at Yale. I don't know what his affiliation is. Again, anyway, Christakis writes, Harvard Online Course Catalog has a search box.


You know those old SpongeBob episodes you used to watch in 1999 from season one? Well, recently a secret episode has been discovered from that time period. The other day, I was searching through my computer when I came across a notepad document deep within System 32. Having no idea how it got there, I scanned it for viruses. It had one Trojan in it. I deleted it and opened it up. All that was printed was one website link, followed by the following gibberish. A cloud-stale mail for a vertical bracket F. Having not a single clue what it meant, I continued by putting the site link, which cannot be told, into my web browser. It took me to a site where there was a black background and a huge button. It had the same text on it that was in the notepad document. I clicked it and it brought up a download link. The file wanted to be downloaded was called SpongeCry.avi. As crazy as I am, I went ahead and downloaded it. Big mistake. The second the download finished, which was 4.6 megabytes. My computer made the weirdest sound ever, and turned off. As I tried to reboot it, nothing happened. The file must have destroyed my computer. As upset as I was, I realized I was on my old PC. I fought over on my Mac and re-downloaded it. This time, there was no problem. What was downloaded was the single AGI file. I played it. The movie clip was 6 minutes and 4 seconds long. It started out as any SpongeBob episode would, except the color was distorted. And when he got to him playing the flute with his nose, it immediately went to the title screen. All that was on the title screen was the following words. SpongeBob cry. It lasted about 2 and a half seconds. The episode started out inside SpongeBob's house. It showed SpongeBob sitting in his red chair. The strange thing was, all of the other furniture was gone. SpongeBob was crying. Very hard. It didn't sound anything like it does when SpongeBob normally cries. It sounded like a real human cry, but it was still different. It sounded so real and intense. SpongeBob was absolutely bawling. He was ripping chunks out of the chair. Then, the camera zoomed really close in on his face, but it was the kind of zoom as if it was being videotaped by a real person. Then, the camera zoomed out to show a rotting corpse of Gary laying on the floor in front of him. It was very disturbing. Gary was absolutely mauled to death. His eyes were laying on the floor. His shell was cracked to reveal a very gross image of the insides of Gary, which I cannot speak of. The camera was moving around like crazy. SpongeBob suddenly got out of his chair and ran. Ran straight forward. Then, the episode stops moving for about 1 second. Then it goes to black for 2 seconds.  I jolt up and turned my volume down. And then, the camera starts moving around like insanity, like if it was during an earthquake, you can't even tell what is going on. The clip then goes to black for 1 minute and 38 seconds. It comes back, inside the crusty crab, dead silent. All of a sudden, the same face that was pressed against the camera appeared, but this time, the scream was literally deafeningly loud. It only lasted for about a fourth of a second. Then, for the rest of the movie, it goes back to SpongeBob crying in the chair, but after every 10 seconds, SpongeBob gets a little bit more decayed, and the sound gets a little more distorted. By the end, all there is left is static and screaming. Then you can see SpongeBob running again in the background by the static. But for the last 4 seconds, there is text on the screen that reads, one timed action will be badly. Exactly that, as if it was written by a preschooler. After the clip finished, my computer shut down. After seeing this video, I had never been the same. I'd been angrier, griller, and more anxious than ever before. It has haunted my mind all the time. I regret downloading the video in the first place. I wish I could just go back in time.


The stock market staging its best start to a new year in decades. Let's bring in Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro-Pacific Capital. All right, Peter, what do you make of the first couple of weeks of the new year in the stock market? We've only had one down day in U.S. stocks so far this year. Yeah, investors are oblivious.  You mentioned this is the best start since 2006. And of course, people who were buying stocks in 2006 had no idea of the magnitude of the financial crisis that would hit the market in 2008. Well, the same people are even more clueless today because the crisis that we're heading for is going to be much, much bigger, much worse than the one in 2008. So, stock market, you know, buyers are oblivious. Look at what's happening in the bond market. Look at what's happening to the dollar. Look at what's happening to oil prices, to gold prices. These are the signs that people should be paying attention to, but they're not. They're too fixated on these meaningless highs in the Dow Jones. Well, yeah, bond yields surged this week and they have been for quite some time. People are worried about that. What do you make of this report that perhaps China will halt the purchases of U.S. treasuries? Well, I think it's about time. And I think it's not just halting the purchase. Remember, we count on the Chinese to roll over the debt as it matures. And so if they don't buy anymore, that means they're going to let their treasury bond holdings mature where are we going to get the money to repay the Chinese? We don't have that money. We have to get it from the Federal Reserve. But according to the Fed, they're not buying treasuries either. And if the Chinese stopped buying, why would anybody else buy? So you said people are worried about rising interest rates. No, they're not. If they were worried, they'd be selling stocks. Rates are going way up and people are oblivious to what that means because we have more debt than ever before in this country.  Now we have much more. So the economy is in much worse shape. It is very vulnerable to a backup in interest rates. The whole justification for the stock market bubble is based on the fact that rates are low. But what if they're not low anymore? And of course, if interest rates go up, the government can't afford to pay interest on the national debt, which is exploding. Corporations can't afford to pay interest on their debt. Individuals can't afford to pay interest. The states can't afford to pay interest.  But it's hard to imagine a crash in the stock market anytime soon. We've just had tax cuts, you know, going into corporate America. We have companies raising guidance, companies giving out $1,000 bonuses to their employees. So how do you grapple with a potential crash in the stock market with these forces in the background? Well, Bush cut taxes. He cut taxes on corporations. He slashed the tax on corporate dividends. That didn't stop the market from going down. And you know, these tax cuts add to the deficit. But the problem for individuals is even though they're going to get a tax cut, they're going to spend that money on gas. They're going to spend it on food. They're going to spend it on insurance. So they're not going to have any money left over to buy anything extra. They're just going to pay more for life's necessities. Meanwhile, a lot of corporations aren't going to bend it from these tax cuts because they're not going to have any profits. Their costs are going to go up so much that their profits are going to be eradicated. And it doesn't matter if you have a lower income tax. If you have no income, that's subject to tax. So I think people are overestimating the benefit of the economy to the tax cuts. And they're ignoring the drag on the economy of rising interest rates, which also means rising payments under- Why would they have no income? Corporations? Because they start losing money. Their interest costs go up on their debt. Their raw material costs go up. Their wages and costs have gone up. So companies are going to see a lot of their profits go away. And their sales are going to go down. When their customers are spending all their money on higher mortgage payments because their adjustable rate mortgage reset, or they're spending it on gasoline or insurance, sales are going to be weak. So the economy is a lot weaker than people think. And they're being blindsided by all this hype. Donald Trump was right when he was a candidate.  And now it's a lot bigger, fatter and uglier than it was back then. Well, some analysts are saying that come July, that's when the Fed will reserve, will actually begin to shrink its balance sheet. Does a pullback in the stock market potentially coincide with an event like that? Well, if the Fed actually follows through with that threat, and I would consider it a threat, because if the Fed actually does that, that will simply exacerbate the demise of the stock market and the bond market and the economy. But it's my feeling that the Fed is going to back away from that.  I mean, I think the Fed is going to actually expand its balance sheet. I think they're going to surprise the markets with QE4, because I think interest rates are going to be rising so much that the Fed is going to panic. The Fed is going to try to halt the increase in interest rates because it knows it will usher in another financial crisis. And so the Fed is going to become the buyer of only resort. It's going to be buying up all the bonds that the Chinese don't want or that anybody else no longer wants. And so they can't shrink the balance sheet. They're going to have to expand it. They're going to have to expand it, you know, bigger than ever. What about the demise of the dollar so far this year? What's behind that move? And are people not paying enough attention to that? They're not paying enough attention. You know, when last year began, right, 2016 or 2017 rather, everybody was bullish on the dollar.  And it had its biggest decline in 14 years. In fact, it was the first time the dollar was down in five years. The dollar had its worst year against the Chinese yuan in nine years. It's going to accelerate. I think the US dollar is going to hit an all-time record low against the yuan this year. Remember, a lot of hedge funds were shorting yuan and I was warning that those guys were going to get burned on those trades and they are if they're still in them. There's a lot more pain ahead. But this week dollar is just getting started. We have just begun a major long-term bear market in the dollar that is going to see the dollar hit all-time record lows across the board. That's going to send commodity prices higher. That's going to send oil. You know, oil is back above 60. It's above $64 a barrel today. We're headed to 80 to 100 this year. And I think by the time the dollar bear market is over, we're going to be $100 to $50, $200 a barrel, maybe higher in the price of oil.  Yes. You know, not this year, probably not next year, but before this dollar bear market ends, that's what Americans are going to be forced to pay if they want to actually buy any oil. But it's also going to be food prices that are going to go up, clothing prices, everything that we import is going to get more expensive. This is the beginning of a surge in inflation.  The money printing was the inflation. The result is going to be a big increase in consumer prices. It's just that there was a big lag between the creation of all the inflation and all the inflation showing up in consumer goods, because in the interim, it made a short-term stop in financial assets. So before the inflation is going to show up at the grocery store, right, or at the gas pump, it showed up in the stock market, in the bond market, in the real estate market, but ultimately it's going to go into consumer prices. Prices are going through the roof. And the Fed can't do anything about it. Peter, Bitcoin prices have come down from their highs in December. We're now at about $14,000 for Bitcoin. Is the Bitcoin hype fading? And where do we end the year at? Well, I don't know if it's fading or not. I mean, there's a good chance that the market has topped out. But then again, it may not. I mean, this bubble has gotten a lot bigger than I thought it would have gotten. And does that mean that it can't get bigger still? It could. I mean, could Bitcoin get back above $20,000 and go to $25,000 or $30,000? Yeah, I'm not going to say it's impossible. But I wouldn't encourage people to bet on it, because I do believe that no matter how high Bitcoin goes, it's ultimately going near zero. Whether it goes all the way to zero or just gets close enough, it's not going to matter. The losses are going to be enormous for people who are buying Bitcoin now. Even if they temporarily have some paper profits, the market is going to implode. And it goes with all these other cryptocurrencies too. I mean, it's not just Bitcoin. I mean, you've got bubbles going on in all these cryptos. And now you have these stocks. Look at Eastman Kodak, right?  But all of a sudden, they say they're a blockchain company. They come out with Kodak coin, and the stock's up 400%. I mean, so people are just buying anything that has the word blockchain in it or crypto in it, just like they were jumping all over any stock to put a dot-com at the end of their name in the 1990s. Look, this is the same kind of irrational exuberance, but maybe more irrational than it was before. Irrational exuberance? That's a term we've heard before. All right. Peter Schiff, CEO of Euro-Pacific Capital. Thanks very much for joining us as always. My pleasure.

I need to flip 100k to 1 million this year Don't we all what's up red black good to see you hope you're doing well All right, so we've got some people here, let's get to chatting about What's happened in here with the markets what I'm seeing Definitely went to find out what you guys are seeing and what you're interested in me taking a look at I Mean hey, you know interest is a good thing buddy Interest or stick it into some high yield dividend funds and sit back relax collect the collect the benes and you know Life is easy at that point All right, what's up Wayne good to see you here Glad to see you in the mix and good morning again to all our friends over on discord again Just a reminder to come join us on YouTube. That is where you will get the best FOMO live stream experience That why that wagyu is I think you could afford a couple a couple of stakes with the With just the interest that you'll collect on 100k All right, so What do we see in here in the markets? What's happening? What am I kind of keeping my eye on? Certainly keeping an eye on this Demand zone we have down here below that we are just now kind of dipping our toe into For really only the second time since it was established so probably still some healthy demand in this range could certainly see Things getting bought up a little bit. We are down below the 200 SMA Here on the hourly chart we broke down below and now we're rejecting it Neptune has flipped Fully bearish as of mid-morning yesterday here on the hourly chart We did put in a new supply zone Overhead that is certainly something to keep a watch on or an eye on We caught this topped out at this. I can't remember how long ago I drew this I'll have to go back and take a look because it's this is probably I would think the For now it's probably the three 0.62 extension That we're looking at here that I drew. I don't know how long ago, but we topped out right on it I think it was 25 Since off from a ES perspective, that's pretty laser accurate, especially for a level that was drawn well before The S&P ever made it up here. So keep an eye on this We definitely have Some room to move down. I think But not probably too much further I would think this confidence with the 333 SMA bottom of this four-hour demand zone I would really expect to see some buyers stepping in and potentially bouncing there So, you know, keep your eye on that that puts a set about what level is that just so you guys can mark it on your charts 5263 is the level I'd keep a watch on Certainly could find ourselves Getting some buy side support down in that range, especially again with that 333 getting ready to come up into that four-hour demand zone Creating a little bit of a confluence of support there So Let's also take a quick look at the member-selected tickers that I did for our friends in the X trades Discord community. They submit their votes every Friday and Across the course of the weekend, I should say up until Sunday when voting closes And then I take the top three tickers that got the most requests and do trade plans for those So those three tickers this past weekend were AMD Interesting little push here from AMD You know clearly broke out Over our call entry level, but didn't quite make it to our first price target before pulling back Near the stop-loss average down level also had that 200 SMA confluence here on the five-minute chart So that would have been a nice spot to add to your position And certainly by the time we pushed back up into the selling pressure here on NTS What you should have been in good shape as far as that new average cost per contract You should have been able to scale some out either a breakeven or flight profit And things looking just a little bit choppy a little bit iffy this morning But haven't broken down through the stop-loss average down so the plan is still valid As long as the plan is valid we stick to the plan so It looks like we may see a test of 180 71 at some point today Or possibly lower that would be a good spot to try to again adjust your position if you need to as far as AMD goes let's see what's going on here with red black tenure yield Employment instead of inflation for the presidency Yeah, that's that's true. I mean people really don't understand inflation Other than man My my paychecks seem to go Not quite as far as they used to I think is the one thing that people do comprehend pretty quickly So but how it works and what we should be doing to control it is definitely something that is lost on the vast majority of people So again AMD kind of hanging in there so far Intel similar scenario to AMD all semis kind of did this yesterday A lot of it was pumped I think on on TSM making moves yesterday, but A little bit of a fake out here to the upside before pulling back down Testing that stop loss average down finding some support in that range, but Overall again, just kind of a really iffy looking trade plan and Personally, I feel like the the price action Last week definitely and certainly so far this week has just seemed Seemed a little suspect. I guess for lack of a better way of saying it So continue to kind of keep your heads on a swivel Be ready to adapt as things move on and also make sure that you're buying Plenty of time on your contracts if you're pursuing any of these trades via options We have certainly seen some nasty chop days and stuff like that the last thing You want to have happen as a, you know, perfectly good trade entry and trade plan get essentially theta burn to death Because you didn't buy enough time. So Again, keep that in mind as we are dealing with some of these more Uncertain areas of price action. It's probably the best thing I could suggest to to you guys. So Intel was the second one from the member selected tickers. Then we also had Marathon digital holdings crypto miner So far that has broken to the downside We saw some breaks below some backtests as resistances are pretty decent entries And now we're seeing a gap down trying to hold this 20 36 level of support But honestly, I see, you know, 1983 probably being a realistic First price target still. So, you know, keep this one on watch as long as it stays below 2098 I would expect it to continue to the downside and start hitting some of those targets from the trade plan we did Over the weekend. All right, last thursday, we had a couple of tickers that we knocked out trade plans for Crotable cruise lines was one of them We did this one thursday on the live stream broke down below our put entry Excuse me back tested rejected tried to hold this weekly level as support not surprised. That was there was a small attempt there But ultimately has gotten down to pt1 and now pushing for pt2 for put so Congrats, if you've stuck to this one and followed this one and executed on the plan post earnings report Continuing to kind of grind to the downside here for carnival And then restoration hardware was the other one that we did last thursday This was another post er play Pumped to the upside thursday right after we did the plan Hit our first price target didn't quite make it to pt2 I thought it was going to get there by the end of the day, but that just didn't happen Ultimately the following day on friday We saw it break down and start to back test and reject pt1 there So this is a great sign if you're if you're trying to you know, ride contracts for as long as possible By moving your stops up versus taking profit at specific targets You know anytime you see a break back down below Uh pt1 You should a still be in pretty good shape from a profit standpoint, especially with this really nice I should have pointed this out at the beginning of the discussion of this trade plan But this really nice break over clean back test that shot things up Quite a bit after back testing that 334 92 level So, you know pt1 as you move up through the plan once you've claimed pt1 is support You know that starts to become your stop loss average down level in my opinion So make sure that you are chasing the trade With your stops, which will keep you in good shape regardless of If it does decide to pull back a little bit. Don't let those green trades go red, right? All right, so that's our recaps for this morning. Let's get into some new tickers Let's get some new plans put together. I see unknown reviews is asked to take a look at play Play is not one I believe it or not. I don't know what that is off the top of my head Typically, I've got these things in my back pocket, but oh davin busters. Okay Interesting ticker not one I've ever really looked at before Does decent volume earnings today though, so be very cautious and mindful of that I'm guessing that's today after hours, yeah So davin busters first request from a man unknown reviews, so we'll take a look at that Oh, let's see what red black's got from after the ticker is looking to smci and look at the trend and the patterns 1050 back to prepare for past weeks now Okay, yeah, we can take a look at that for sure Red black. I appreciate you pointing that out with smci All right, so whoops. We're already here. We're on the ticker. We need to see take a look at davin busters here for our friends You know Who have are following along here on our youtube? All right, so let's see clearly. I've not really ever looked at this one before So let's For for now hide our indicators because all I really want to see is price action Let's get some levels here on the chart that I feel like I've already started off With uh Some levels that are probably a bit too far down that we're not going to really You know we we need to Keep keep things kind of focused on where the price action is most likely going to stay within All right, so Let's get these levels dialed in here And if you guys have more tickers, we're clearly going to have time for more than just uh Play here this morning So if there are other ticker requests that you guys want to hit me with please feel free to go ahead Drop those In the youtube chat again. That is where we are focusing Our attention these days as far as the phone in the live stream goes so um I think we definitely have a level here that we're going to want to pay attention to whoops. There we go There Uh, what else are we looking at? um I think there's something near this level Yeah, it might just be a tad lower. Hang on. Look at this little area of price action here Yeah, it's probably sitting right about Here, let's see if that catches this top It does. Yep. That's what I was looking for And is this the current all-time high on it? Yeah, looks like it is Uh, we'll want to pay attention to that didn't have this one wick that printed way up here though That's interesting and on the weekly chart that happened during The cash session. So we'll keep an eye on this guy Up here. I'm not sure if we'll Needed or not for our trade plan, but we'll figure that out here in just a moment Another interesting little Flip of support and resistance right in this range. We'll keep that in the mix Made a nice push though leading up to this earnings report. Um Personally, I can't tell you the last time I was in a David Buster. So Put that in the for what it's worth category.  What is what's the question there Kieran? Is this over is what over? If you're asking about the live stream, we are still here live and direct Doing it for The w's Yeah, we've got a level in here. We're gonna want to pay attention to um Something right about here not something a support resistance level Real question is surprised we're not Yeah, there's it's kind of barely there, but there's a level there too. All right. I think we're good On these weekly levels. Let's take a look at the daily chart here And I just I'd already noted that this thing does not really move all that much During the extended hours sessions So anything that doesn't see a lot of healthy price action fully formed and developed mature candles During the extended hours trading sessions I generally those are but those are the few tickers that I'll focus a little bit more on just the regular trading hours chart so looking at the daily versus the 24 hour here I think there's a level here, but it's not a daily level We'll probably find out on the four hour Where that is really sitting at Big gap up here that eventually we also did see some rejections off of that's definitely noteworthy Just looking at this gap up wrote down below rejected or back tested. I should say and are rejected ultimately What is in this little neck of the woods though? This is the Big question mark for me. Yeah, there's something sitting right in there Yeah, this is Pretty decent little daily level there All right What's up chris? Good morning to you my friend. How are you? Let me get some coffee in the mix here Yeah, yeah, I was like, why why are you asking if it's over right in the middle of a trade plan? But I'm glad you're here Karen. Thanks for joining them hopefully You're getting some solid value out of this and hopefully We'll get some really nice plans to execute on today. Chris. I need tickers. Oh, buddy. So if you've got one in mind you you are the the king trade plan picker Chris always comes with those fire tickers and He sets them up. I knock them down. He gives me the ticker to look at I come up with a plan typically those crush Most the time tag team back again. All right Wow, I didn't realize how far back I was in time here on this chart All right, let's get this dialed in Seems like there's some kind of support Right in here, but I'm not fully seeing it at least not through that little run of price action That's not all that helpful Either Yeah, it's probably sitting Right about here Hershey Has been under fire due to cocoa prices perhaps a solid. Yeah, we can take a look at that for sure crypto traders Definitely a little bit of a resistance break over back test and launch here That's an interesting level here on the daily chart. All right. I think we're pretty Good actually I do want to see sorry Right as I said that do you want to see what we can find or if we can find anything? In this little range, there's not going to be a ton of price action historical price data for us to work with but That's okay Sometimes I don't need a lot. All right. That looks pretty good there Okay, let's take a look at this four hour chart And let's see if I can't nail down what the 70 29 level is remember we talked about that a moment ago Come on. Where are you at? There we go. Yeah lots of resistance There's no real support It's a little bit lower sitting right there Hmm. I really want to see both right when we're looking for support resistance levels Kind of right there in the name right support and resistance. So you really want to see these things these levels reacting well and behaving well in the You know as things get tested on both sides of a particular price level That's really what I want to see. Oh, I also realize that need to be focused a little bit more on regular training hours As we mentioned a moment ago And let's get back to that little spot here Yeah, it didn't really help too much, but Uh There's yeah, there's a little four hour level right here though keep that on watch And this is still a little bit of a mystery. There's a level there. Just not sure what is this? This is June of 2017. I don't think we're gonna be able to go back that far On the chart here, but let's see Of course, come on Six is seven. Yeah, we can how about that? And still not really Okay, maybe this level is here. It's a little bit lower. I think It's sitting right there on the hourly chart Let's see if this also adds any levels up here. This is kind of thin and that It's only had a couple of tests on either side of that level. This is another interesting one But again only seeing it as support so far So we'll take a look at that as we move forward on the chart here See if we've had any other opportunities to develop some price Action up there at 78 86. Let's see Don't know that we have I think that's yeah That one little runs really the only time that we've ever Seen that so we'll just kind of keep that on watch understanding that it is Not the most confirmed validated level I've ever drawn or seen Let's see. So let's fill in some blanks here kind of as we move through this trade plan now This is definitely an interesting level too that we want to keep on watch Hourly this is also an interesting level that we want to keep on watch. All right So Upside I think pretty clearly we're looking for a break of 64 97 to play this For a move up again remember earnings report after hours today So be very careful Especially when it comes to swinging any contracts We talk about this frequently anytime we start getting a bunch of er talking the chats IV crush is your worst enemy When it comes to these earnings reports trades So make sure that you are Doing things to offset that IV crush whether you're trading spreads or Whatever the case might be there's lots of different ways to sort of handle that That issue But just going straight calls or puts into an earnings report very very High risk. I mean I'd say your your odds are better at the roulette table just playing red and black Even with the two little you know the zero and double zero's green spots on the on the wheel I think your odds are still better there versus Going into an earnings report A bunch of people had to go through that experience with game stop recently After their earnings dumped but stayed within the implied move. I think Eventually they just burnt all the options contracts to the ground. So Again, that's what we tend to see and expect when there is an earnings report Another thing that I'm actually going to switch Here because I think we open up a different kind of setup if we get over the 65 50 level And I think we flip this To being our support or our stop loss average down level here at 64 97 The kind of a little tight window to trade but I also want to figure out where this Hot came from is it a valid level or is this just like some kind of one off Rejection of something maybe a trend line or something to that effect that let's figure out Again, we're first time we're looking at this chart. So Come on. Where's my price action? I know you've been through this range before Right Where is the pa? There we go I must have zoomed right past it. Okay, so This is the level that I kind of had a question about can we confirm it? Uh I think it's Yeah, that's pretty good. Actually, I think we can confirm that. I think it's maybe just a little Just a little nudge higher So be looking at this is pt1 Over that That's an interesting little Early rejection there There is a little bit Some signs that there be another support resistance right there. They're kind of tight Um But I think there is another little SR level in the mix here Or maybe I've just got this daily level of tad high that could also be the case. Let's see This is kind of what I'm looking at now more like That Right there Now maybe even a little bit lower More like right there Yeah I think there is another level here though. They're not as tight as I thought. Yeah, there's something Sitting right about here too On the hourly But I think what we'll do is we'll shoot through the 67 94 pt2 Pay attention to 68 33 as we try to push higher Um, but ultimately I think that's just a little too tight as far as price targets go So I think our next one is going to be the 68 76 4 hour level up here for the upside. All right Sorry that took a little bit longer than I was anticipating, but I think it was Worth the extra effort and time spent This is also an interesting level Right in here Lots of really clean rejections off of it I think that below that Downside could open up Let's take a look also Yeah, let's get some help here This will help spot some of these levels and setups. Yeah, we did just break out over that. So I think Yeah, I think what we'll do We'll shift this entry Down to a break below this daily level We'll use this 4 hour level as our stop loss average down So then price targets Be looking for this weekly level first target Might just be one two three on this Um Yeah, we could catch support there at 61 13s that would be my second target Third target. This is an interesting little spot with this gap down to resistance Also found a really clean bounce off this level and have found support here several times I think I'd be looking for that to potentially hold as well Which means we want to be scaling out of puts at that point I think 60 41 And those are our trade plans. So let's Put this together. Let me get these posted and then we'll talk through it real quick That's our upside plan again earnings report on this one. So be careful Overall, though flipping things bullish writing those smas to the upside Nice little bounce there and bounce near The 333 sma there All right, let's talk about this. So Here is your link Whoops, that's not it. There we go. Sometimes trading you slow and this is play trade plans So we also copy this put it over in the watch list In the discord Play trade plans from the live stream All right. So what are we looking for here on play aka david busters? We're looking for a break over 65 50 That should give us upside targets at 66 71 67 94 and 68 76 With a stop loss average down at 64 97 It's kind of a tight little window But I think that's appropriate because this is a pretty nasty resistance that we would not want to be back under after breaking above 65 50 resistance. So that's why this upside trade plan is a little tight But I think that's appropriate based on what I see here with the price action for the downside We're looking for a break below 63 24 that should bring targets at 61 89 61 13 and 60 41 with a stop loss average down at 64 36 Those are your play aka david busters trade plans. All right, let's see Uh had won her she's hsy, right? I think that was the next one that got mentioned, isn't it? I know red black talked about taking a look at some trends and stuff on smci Which we will circle back to that before we wrap up But let's see what crypto traders has got for us here with her she's And another one that again, I do not have not traded much in the past Do not have a ton of pre-defined levels on it, but Hershey's been around a while should be pretty easy to spot these levels. I would think Let's dig into it. Yeah, we got Definitely something here that we'll probably be looking for That's probably gonna wind up being our call entry here around 210 um Yeah, I like this level two something there Pretty pretty clean for the most part. It's got some messy spots, but that's okay This guy's sitting probably about here And Yeah, definitely something sitting there. I think that's all we're going to need for upside downside Let's see pretty clear resistance Pretty good support near that level Interesting little lip of support and resistance there right about here Actually, that's maybe a little bit low. Let me nudge this up just a tiny bit to right there. Yeah And I think we may need Some more downside levels. This is an interesting one where there is clearly resistance, but Going back to what I was saying earlier not seeing At least on the weekly chart here any real signs of support no clean touches off that level um So we'll circle back to that on the daily chart as we break into some of these Weekly candles will probably see those support touches that we need to really lock that in And I think there's a good weekly level here Anything else this is interesting that big wick up here and rejection certainly grabs your attention, but Not really seeing anything else other than that one rejection Same thing with this candle here too. Just not seeing a lot else to really confirm Anything up there. This isn't actually I think we do have a level. It's right about here Doesn't catch that wick cleanly. I wouldn't even really count that but looking at this run up Kind of stall out his resistance there Try to double bottom and ultimately balanced off that weekly candle and then we see it try to hold Break down below back test pushing down. So anyway, that's why I like that level. All right, let's take a look one thing I didn't scope out Is how this then trades during the extended hour sessions and Pretty thin. So we're going to stick with the daily chart and the regular trading hours chart on Hershey's as well See what's going on here in the chat. Of course, you're welcome and then reviews Glad I could help Let's see if you didn't pick us a winner with that trade plan All right Just sitting right Right about in here Yeah, yep, I like that And there's definitely something on the daily sitting right here as well Pay attention to that Keep that in the mix Uh, yeah, this one. Let's see if we can find some Historical help here Not really interesting But I do see it Yeah, pretty clearly here on the recent price action. So we'll stick with it. I was just looking for some further confirmation there This is an interesting level now that we're looking at the daily chart Looking at that rejection this flip of support to resistance there Again, let's see if we get any historical help. Yeah, there's some more support And some resistance there. Yeah, that looks pretty good. Let's stick with that Some interesting tests on both sides of this level Yeah, it looks like if Hershey's can get over this 207 88 it should have some pretty decent room to the upside This is an interesting little level here though Wouldn't want to ignore. Let's see. Again, we can get some help here on the old historical price action a little bit Not a lot That's okay. It doesn't always wind up having a lot. This is A level also we're gonna want to watch See I'm gonna keep an eye on this one for a second. It's maybe just a little bit higher actually sitting more like right there That helps there Yeah, I think we can stick with that All right, so where does that put us as far as this Trade plan goes. This is an interesting bottom clearly Not enough to go on there, but Let's see if we can't get some confirmation or a better idea where this level's sitting back here I can see it it's maybe a little bit Higher one mid line. Yeah right about there That's pretty solid Yeah, that works. Okay All right, let's get into some of these hourly levels real quick for our starting off and Yeah, I'm still not seeing really anything that changes my mind about The entry stop loss First target There is some interesting Support and resistance shifting around this level on the four hour though That could wind up being a slightly better stop loss for us. Let's take a look real quick 908 okay doing all right on time so far. Yeah, you know, there's something there It's maybe just a little time a bit higher like right there Yeah For sure Yep, that'll work. Okay. So like this It's an entry This will be our stop loss here First target this weekly level Let's start filling in some whites from there You're on the hourly chart. Let's also get our indicators working in our favor Yeah, a lot of this was getting pushed down by the smas especially these rejections all through there Clean clean rejections off that 333 sma people think I just Hold a rabbit out of the hat with with that particular moving average, but Throwing on your charts. Take a look at it. Tell me it doesn't You don't find a lot of bounces and rejections off of it regardless of which time frame you're looking at if you Prove me wrong. I'll be totally okay with that But 333 should probably be one that you're keeping track of on your charts as well. Just my my opinion All right, got Confluence of support down here just below but ultimately running up into bearish selling pressure here There is an hourly level Sitting right about here Just below where there's smas are sitting Yeah, yep. Yep. I'm happy with that I think this would be our entry level That then raises the question of a good stop loss I think we're looking at Yeah, let's use 194 85 to our advantage here for the stop loss First target There's still technically a little bit of gap to fill coming down to this daily level um So I think 188 11 Smart first price target second target Think this daily levels a little low Sitting probably more like right here Yeah And that's going to be our second price target third target Yeah, I say we take a shot at 179 07 I think we can make it down to that. There is a weekly level at 180 205. So don't Totally ignore that But here are our Hershey's our hour god, that's hard to say Hershey's trade plans Again, this looks a lot tighter than it is. It's just because I'm kind of really Zoomed out on the chart there, but we'll zoom back in for you guys before we post this. All right, copy link Let's get that in the mix here HSY trade plans And Let's also get it over to our friends and discord the live stream Cool, cool. All right. Let's talk about it. So What we're looking for here on Hershey's is a break over 20408 to catch continuation to the upside That should give us targets at 207 88 to 1072 and 213 79 With a stop loss average down at 20139. I know that seems like it's forever away But I think we're just kind of in a range where There are lots of potential resistance issues until we break over 20408 And then I think I pointed this out earlier once we're above that We certainly wouldn't would not want to see the price action back below 20139 Otherwise that upside trade plan could be in trouble. So that's our stop loss average down there To the downside, we're looking for a break below 192 73 That should give us targets at<PHONE_NUMBER> and 179 is seven With a stop loss average down at 194 80 85 Those are your Hershey's trade plans. All right. Let's take a quick look at smci for our friend red black Rue in the chat here What is smci doing so back testing 1050 You can see the trend with the last three weeks been pretty accurate. Let's take a look 10 50 I guess you're saying back testing 1050 as resistance red black Yeah, of course, you're very welcome crypto traders. Glad to see you here Yeah, I think maybe what red black aka rue is looking at Probably something that's Hitting like this very close to it Yeah, yeah, so back testing is resistance to have the 200 crossing below the 333 here on the hourly chart That's never a good sign. We're also breaking down below and back testing at 333 is resistance as well as the 200 actually now at this point To me I mean it certainly needs to hold you see this nice bounce off that key buying level there On neptune that ultimately sent it up through some old fib extensions SMCI is not one that I've looked at as as much as it might seem with all the lives that are on this chart, but um Yeah, it looks like if it breaks that previous low here at 990 37 it could pull back at the very least down to 953 Then below that I think downside really opens up. So yeah, definitely definitely one to keep On watch if it does break down here. We have seen some finally seen some weakness in the semiconductor sector So just a couple of quick housekeeping items before we wrap up today. We are 15 minutes from market open I've noted this by how I have plotted or put on the calendar the upcoming from the live streams, but I will not be doing live streams On what are those dates? April 16th, April 18th or April 23rd. So there's kind of a week and a half where I will not be doing Live streams because I will be out of the country getting married So we depart We hours in the morning on Tuesday the 16th I'll be down in the Dominican until the 22nd and then we get back in the wee hours in the morning on the 23rd. I'm probably not going to be ready After a long wedding trip and flights and getting home at like one o'clock in the morning I don't think I'm gonna probably not looking at the markets the whole time while I'm away But I will do my best to continue to put the spy plans out there in the X trades discord and the options watch list a lot of the way I'll do my best to stay on top of those. I probably won't be able to do one on Tuesday the 16th Just because I'll be on a plane But anyway, I'll continue to mention this I just don't want folks showing up expecting a live stream on those dates when I'm not going to be around to do one So I did note that by how I've scheduled out the live streams through the end of the month So I'll continue to mention that as we get closer to D day wedding day. So Anyway Dude, you're always fighting me and catch a plane down to Dominican We're we're going to be in port-a-plata Come kick it Everybody's welcome to join just give me a heads up so we can you know tell the the villa to make a few more plates for the reception All right That's right She's got the cuffs on me and those have been on for a while. All right. So with that I want to thank you guys for joining me this morning Um, I really do appreciate it. We will be back Thursday morning at 8 30 a.m. Eastern standard time So with that I'm going to uh suggest to you what I always suggest to those if you join our FOMO live streams here Playing your trades trade your plans. And if you don't have a plan to trade Uh of your own trade one of mine, right? That's why we do these things. Hopefully you guys are learning as we're doing these I'm also going to put together a survey here pretty soon to try to get some feedback on you know thoughts comments Etc things that you guys think we could do to further improve These live stream sessions, but I think uh, they're tremendously helpful for me Hopefully they're tremendously helpful for you guys as well.
