Party fairs future implications of Supreme Court's judgment on Yobi government. APC member asked court to annul Congresses. Sack Bhuni led committee. No going back on Congresses, no apex court judgment bars us, that's according to the secretary. There's a picture here of a cow wreck on the front page of the punch needs paper, as well as a burning gates. And the headline reads, protestant footer students barricade highway blame gate men for colleagues death. Above the headline on the punch needs paper, November will test a papa truck call-op success, that's according to truckers.

An escaped 14-year-old boy hears saying that he saw a woman beheaded son where kidnappers kept him. Ogun berets a debut to over alleged diversion of 64 billion Naira local government allocation. And lastly on the punch newspaper, court hears Igbo Ho's five billion Naira suit against Malami DSS today. All right, and now moving on to the nation, newspapers. Big one that says Oshimbajo's team working on ways out of APC's legal ditch while last-minute attempt to postpone what Congress was stalled.

And also lawyer says Igbo Ho are waiting in action on asylum application. Macinday tips seven as commissioners. Also on the nation, resident doctor's strike takes toll on patients at hospitals. And stringent COVID-19 measures, likely. Also NNPC to safeguard investment with conditions for IOC's diversity. Jamb, NUC, Ubeck, others get acting CEO. And Kanu's firm, Kanu is firm and stable in custody. That's the last one on the nation newspapers this morning. All right, let's quickly turn to the Guardian. The headline reads, fresh battles rage for soul of PDP APC ahead of 2020. New UAE flies rule on bands, Nigerians, Indians, for others. INEC bags MBA CJN to intervene in Anambra guba cases. INEC begs MBA CJN to intervene in Anambra guba cases. Poor, not rich benefits from fuel subsidy. Economists counter FG. Records show how previous price hikes have worsened inflation and unemployment. Fuel subsidy removal and dangerous survival of million households. Also on the Guardian newspaper, Nigeria does not have enough COVID-19 isolation centers yet to learn, says resident doctors. Seattle takes case against FIFA ban to US federal court. And I believe those are the ones we're looking at on the Guardian. All right, that's what we can find on the Daily Trust, newspapers. Third wave, NYSC camps on Red Alert as 109 tests positive for COVID-19. Short camps to check spread, experts urge federal government. NCDC records 851 cases in two days, 11 deaths in one day.

Uncertainty as UAE lifts flights ban on Nigeria five months after. Also wife pours hot water on husband over forced marriage. Fresh crisis hits PDPS 7, NWC members resign. We can also find on the Daily Trust this morning, APC chifting acts courts to nullify Congress's disband boonie committee. And Buhari deploys nine permanent secretaries. We can also find Gastroentritus kills 23 in Sokoto state. Those are the big ones on the Daily Trust, newspapers. And just before we connect with our guest, I think we can also quickly just play around with some of these stories. Of course, the COVID-19 is since, you know, as the numbers increase, it doesn't seem like, you know, and this is from what I've seen, it doesn't seem like a lot of people as worried as they were in 2020.  Now we're seeing 851 recorded cases and 11 deaths. And if you look around, you know, just ask around, it doesn't seem like a lot of people, you know, are bothered. I'm not sure it's because of the vaccinated because we barely have up to, you know, five million people vaccinated already. So I really don't know why. What do you think? Well, just like in several other parts of Africa, I believe that people feel that the COVID-19 seems to be, you know, just really enough. Take a walk around the city and you find just a handful of people wearing face masks. And those who do are simply to get entrance into buildings and you can definitely take it off for your insight. So lots of questions to be asked, you know. I remember when there was a briefing here, the NPHCDA talking about the third wave of COVID-19, promises of COVID-19 vaccines to arrive Nigeria by the end of August. That seemed to have given Nigerians hope, you know, in some sort of ways that, you know, when we're talking about those vaccines, it's something that everyone should be able to take. I've been trying to convince neighbors of mine to go ahead and take the vaccines, but you still see that vaccine hesitancy. You know, but you wonder really, is the government doing enough in terms of sensitizing people, you know, about the COVID-19 vaccines and just how effective it can be. But still there are misconceptions. Other people feel that once you're taking the vaccine, you are immune, but the facts show otherwise. It doesn't make you immune. You can't still, at least that's what we've heard from WHO, that you can still contract the virus just that the effect will not be as, you know, as terrible as it would have if you had not been vaccinated.  I believe that that's the right move. If states like Lagos and, you know, organizations like, or institutions like Kinilag are going ahead to shut down, you know, the school just to safeguard people, I feel that nationally that's something we should be thinking of, you know, because if people get infected in the NYC camps, there's definitely a tendency that is case figures would rise. But I'm aware we have our guest now, Public Affairs Analyst, Ambrusi Bokeh. Good morning, thank you for joining us. Good morning. All right, so we're just speaking about the COVID-19 cases in Nigeria, but I want us to focus on the stories that we've seen in recent days that seem to have begun with the APC, what Congress is in some states, the violence there as well. And what's happening with all the caretaker committees. The headline on the punch reads, APC Plans Bonito Yotala Billage Removal from Caretaker Team. We're seeing also that it seems that the PDP has some internal squabbles as well with some PDP governors, I beg your pardon, PDP Eskos and national leaders resigning, saying Secundus is pushing them out. So what are your comments really regarding the APC PDP ruling and opposition party and what seems to be an internal crisis in both of them? Well, it is much new. We are used to internal crises or political parties, especially when it's near election time, you know, 2023 is a major election. We saw this happening in 2002, leading to 2003, dissenting to 2006, 2005, leading to 2007, and all those. So you say we are calling decimal in Nigerian politics. And it only goes to show that our politics is not yet matured in terms of the ideologies that drive why we seek public office in the first place. So this is the time because of occupations and the rest are more for pecuniary reasons, that is why we are having this implosion. But the APC audience is particularly very interested. This is the first time we are seeing this kind of scenario where it's sitting chief executive of the state. And I've become the national chairman of the party. I mean, it seems like somewhere from the dream land, you know, it's something of consumable, it's something that would even think that could happen. And how APC got itself into that, we don't know. But it was supposed to be a caretaker committee that was supposed to pilot the affairs of the party to meet wife's election of a new central working committee, national working committee for the APC. That has not happened for a very long time after the ouster of Mr. Adams and Shumole. So why they have not been able to do that is very, very perplexing. And I remember that their own party member who is a minister and a very, very prominent lawyer, Mr. First of Skyamu did raise a very serious alarm just last week before leaving to the Congress, saying that on the heels of the Supreme Court ruling about the election in all those states, that he strongly advised the party from a professional point of view that the party should not go ahead with those Congresses under the leadership of a caretaker committee who is sitting over now. But the party went ahead, disregarded that warning, went ahead and had the Congresses. Now the outcomes of that would be very, very grievous for the party because a lot of people are already going to court, a lot of misgivings are already taking place. And if APC is not careful, this will cause a very serious crack in their party. Well, all right, still talking APC and we're going to bring in the PDP now, from our next chairman, Atahiro Jagai, is in the news. He has been in the news in the last couple of days really because of his statements, asking Nigerians to reject both the APC and the PDP. On the nation this morning, it says APC PDP reject Jagai's call for third force. So let's talk about that briefly. Do you think there is still that possibility of the growth of a third force in Nigeria's political conversation? I don't know what they mean by third force because this is the second time they are talking about that the third force. This is actually the second time. We heard about the third force in 2017, it's related to the 2019 election, where a group of people came together and called themselves the third force. I don't know what they are forcing but I don't know what Jagai is talking about actually because the issue of the world, I don't know if it's possible with the world called fourth force in the democratic lexicon. So I think first of all, the nomenclature of whatever they are coming with, whether it's using third force as a metaphor or it's using third force as a name, I think in the democratic sector we should remove anything that has to do with fourths. Even the Nigerian police have removed fourths in their name and then some political people are coming to ask first whatever they are doing. So first of all, that is a put off calling something the fourth force. But in that point is that I also agree that we need, there's going to be political realignments. I don't think that Jagai is saying anything new. In the outcome of all these congresses, in the outcome of the quest to acquire political power in 2023, there are going to be political alignments and realignments. So if groups are going to emerge, what happened between 2013 and 2014 where there was a coalition of different groups that have seamlessly merged into what we now call the APC. Remember the CPC that time bringing the power bloc? Remember the ACN bringing the power bloc? Remember the people that called themselves the new PDP, Drake away from the PDP? Those are the strong forces that came together to form this APC we have today. So as we go closer to 2023, those kind of political realignments will always come to play. And that's what we are expecting. Do you also see... The question is, is this in the interest of Nigeria or is it in the interest of the political gladiators? All right, so now I want to speak about realignments. You know, that seems to be happening also in the PDP. There seems to be crisis. Seven members of the National Working Committee have resigned. It seems, it's coming off, you know, disagreements concerning the leadership, which is a condis. How do you see this playing out? It's unfortunate because we are thinking that the PDP could play a credible opposition in this present political dispensation. But the PDP has not been able to live up to a very, very strong opposition, just like what the APC did, you know, when they were in the opposition. There were, you know, there were a thorn in the flesh of the PDP when they were in the opposition.  But again, you can see what is happening A lot of intrigues, a lot of intra-political issues are happening in the PDP. So it is for the interests of Nigeria that PDP gets itself rights. Because if it doesn't, there's no opposition anymore. And if you don't have any opposition in a democratic setting, then the only party will be left to do whatever it likes and get away with it. Okay, I want us to quickly turn to Nnamdi Kanu and all the controversy regarding his arrest and detention with the DSS. The headline on the punch reads, Nnamdi Kanu's stable needs advanced medical attention. That's according to the lawyer. Remember what happened with the media trial, the coverage of, you know, the trial of Nnamdi Kanu, how the federal government wants to restrict that. And all the questions that have been asked about this particular matter. Now, his lawyer spoke yesterday saying that he need advanced medical attention for this. But with the way this is going, do you see an resemblance with Elzagzaki? I think the federal government in prosecuting how it can get cases like this should, it's causing more harm to itself, to its image than good when it says it wants to restrict. I saw the accreditation where they were profiling media houses that would cover the event, that are crediting them and the rest. This is not normal. I mean, if we have a case like the high-profile cases that allow the media to enter, control the, it doesn't mean that every person across the state, a journalist can have access. But at least we know the major deletes in the country. We know the major broadcasting houses. We know the major online. You can work with a journalist. You can work with other, like the Bob Ruckus organization of Nigeria. You can work with all these unions that have in the media space to ensure that they have credible members covering the event. Now, if you restrict media, what you're trying to, especially you're trying to create is that you have something to hide. So if that is what the federal government is trying to project, that means they are getting the response because if you have nothing to hide in a trial, you make it open and then you bring your case and then martial it in court. And the media will always report what transpires in the court and then do some background check and do some findings and report. So the persons advising the federal government to do this is not doing the federal government any good. I think that you don't open up what a trial. People should have access, the court is a public place. People should have access to the court, especially media people, and then they can report the world. If it's not even how journalists can enter, we have judiciary correspondents in every major media house, there's a judiciary correspondent. So the judiciary correspondents should take over this case. Allow them to. But when you start restricting media, there's the perception that some people may think, oh, it is people who are friendly with the government. The media houses that are friendly and that are allowed to cover the death of them and slice the reports to keep up the government. We don't want to hear those kind of ass-comments. All right, Mr. Ibuke, just in a few seconds before we wrap up, we see the story on The Daily Trust that the United Arab Emirates finally lifted the suspension of flights from Nigeria, Nepal, India, and some other countries. Good news for us? Well, I don't know. This is where every country is getting worried about the delta variants of the COVID-19. This country is opening up its borders. I think it's not something to be celebrated. It's something to be viewed with a pinch of salt. What is that happening? Are there, I assume, the level of head immunity? Are there vaccinated? Are there people? When you allow all countries to come and have a melting point and then come back, are you going to, what are the strategies put in place to prevent this virus from leaving this country and coming back to Nigeria or other places? And the way you say India, India's right now is back then very hard.  So for a country where you open the borders to India to fly it, and you also open the border for that, Nigeria should be circumspect about it and see how it can contain this virus they call its consumers. All right. Amraseeb, okay, thank you so much for your time this morning for joining us on Off the Press. Look forward to speaking with you again. Thank you. All right. Stay with us. We'll go on a short break and when we come back we're going to be going back in history and telling you things that happened on this day a couple of years ago. Yes. Stay with us.


what's going on you guys welcome to the single guy channel my name is Lloyd today we're going to be talking about how to motivate yourself before you go out or motivate yourself to go out because one of the biggest things I talked about on this channel is if you want to get better at talking to attracting and having game with women then you need to practice it you need to go out and do it okay you need to be meeting women and if you're just sitting at home doing nothing then it's probably not going to happen man you're not going to get better so a lot of guys know this and they tell me Lloyd you know I'm I want to do this I want to go out but I just I feel real nervous I feel real scared I feel I have a lot of low energy they say they feel really tired and dude I can relate to this man I used to feel exhausted every time before I went out and I used to feel nervous scared because I was afraid about getting rejected all of these things I can totally relate to what you guys are talking about but it doesn't happen to me anymore and it's not just because I'm very competent when I go out to a social event bar club whatever I'm very good at it but it's also because I do different things before I go out so in this video what I'm going to be giving you is a step-by-step process that I use to motivate myself to get myself into the right energy state to go out to a social event bar club whatever it is an area where you're going to be talking to a lot of random people okay so but before I get into this what I'm if you guys are wondering how to do this or you want to get coached by me in person I have a schedule down below where I'll do like live trainings in a given city boot camps whatever if I'm going to be in your city in the near future hit me up and we'll try and work something out okay cool so the first thing that I usually do before I go out and by the way I'm assuming that you are going out by yourself like you're not having a pregame with your buddies or whatever you're just sitting at home and you're about to go out to the bars I'm assuming you're leaving and you're gonna get there by yourself how do you motivate yourself how do you have high energy before you do this okay first thing make your bed clean your room you want to start with this because if I'm going out on a date if I'm going out to bars and I'm trying to meet a girl there's a good chance I'm gonna bring somebody home and if there's a good chance of that I have to begin with the end in mind I want to make my room presentable you know if you bring her home and you have a room that's got your wrappers everywhere there's like leftover food dirty socks it smells funky like that girl is not gonna want to sleep with you like nothing turns a girl on faster than like a bunch of dirty messy shit in your room okay the only thing that turns there off more is probably a dirty bathroom because bathrooms can get pretty close so make so make sure you clean your bathroom make sure you clean your room make sure there's no gunk everywhere no leftover you know hair all of that stuff should be clean so that way when she comes in it's very presentable okay begin with the end of mine now what this is gonna do too is it's gonna get you to complete a task you're gonna feel good about that but also it brings me a nice second tip you're gonna be moving around okay move around before you go out too many guys are just lying on the couch sitting down looking at their phone whatever it is they're in a very low-energy vegetative state for you to go from that low energy vegetative state to go into like a nightclub or something where there's loud music bunch of random people bustling pot past you it's a huge jump dude like you're you're gonna be going in completely unprepared for what's going on so you need to be moving around I would even take it a step further if you can't I used to work out before I still sometimes do that I'll do a quick calisthenics workout I'll do like a quick thing get the blood pumping feel more energized feeling good all of those things are super important okay now the other thing too that I would do and I mentioned this is if you are doing these things at the same time this brings me to my next point which is put on some comedy whatever makes you laugh the most put that on you want to be get you want to get your mind into a very silly goofy joking around state when people go out they're trying to have fun they're not trying to be serious and if you've just been doing a lot of work you've been concentrating very hard on something serious important then to take your mind from there and to go into the silly goofy joking around we're here to party mode is going to be pretty tough so I like to put on some comedy my favorite comedy is conversational comedy like if you guys have seen what's this face Krystalia and Brian Callan like those two together man they're they're freaking hilarious dude like they come up with like the funniest things going back and forth and that's the exact vibe that you want you know you feel like you're in a conversation with them and if you bring that energy into the bar or the club you're gonna be a lot more successful you're gonna feel a lot more energized before you go out and guys also too if you're always constantly going out by yourself try and make some friends make some friends you can go out with if you're looking for people to go out with I have a Facebook group where we're all trying to help people out accomplish your goals with women is a link to it in the description down below ask to join answer the survey questions and I'll prove you okay cool so we've done we've done four things I think we've cleaned our room made our bed or moving around working out get our energy going and then the last thing is we're putting on some comedy conversational comedy whatever it is okay the last thing is you want to pick out your outfit while you all the comedy is playing pick out your outfit while your blood after your blood's pumping pick out your outfit and then when you look in the mirror like you should feel good about yourself you know you should be like damn man this is I look fly today if you don't think you look good then women aren't gonna think you look good dude it's like it's almost like women are looking to see if you're confident and if you leave the house feeling good feeling like you're you appreciate yourself then chances are women are gonna appreciate you too so that's the final thing the fourth thing is make sure you get your outfit to get an outfit that you'll like and if you have you don't have any good outfits do go shopping go out and get some that you like okay alright so those are the four things and then after this super important once you have high energy when you leave your place you're right you should maintain it if you go out and you just sit at the bar for hours and you don't talk to anyone you just killed your energy and you won't get into that flow state what you need to do is start talking to people as quickly as possible I like to get an Uber pool or like a lift line or something where I know there's gonna be somebody else in the car or at least a driver and I can talk to the driver I can talk to the passenger keep myself in that social mode so by the time I enter the bar by the time I enter the venue that's good I'm already feeling good I'm already ready to enter that flow state and talk to random people and do what I got to do to have a fun night so hopefully this helps you guys if you made 10

If you didn't get into it you know whatever just you know just let us know but let me just tell you this. There's going to be plenty of them. This PRPO. I mean we found it early this morning. Listen stock at ten o'clock it had a big pop early in the morning it didn't do anything up until like eleven o'clock and it did well so is at two fifty and right then in there was a wake up call at eleven o'clock and all of a sudden. This thing did not want to stop at three o'clock that they was already at four going into half hours this thing shot up to seven fifty was retarded. This is why we love trading. Okay this is why we do it. Apple is not going to do this. Okay. I'm as I can do this and that's why a lot of people I always say all I can't afford these stocks they don't move why is the company up. I tell you we don't care. Okay we don't care. All we care about is these stocks on Ken listen I don't need regarding about all the platinum and gold students here we send you the email because I don't need to ask you what basically we sent out the emails to only new trial members. We wanted to see did you ever see anything like this before because the goal is a lot of people want to get into this. And they don't know if it's for them and they think that some people are B. S. saying it doesn't exist so that was only reason why so. Yeah we didn't send it to everyone we really sent it out to you new trial members and you new gold students that just started to become part of the family C. T. U. that qualified to be part of the team and then you once again you people on YouTube and Facebook live if you ever want to come and join in just like us friend us and you know once again may do a nine dollar trial what's the worst thing that happened you learn something okay but this is why we do it and you know what it did not stop here there was so much more that made a big move than just this one right here let's talk about a few other ones. O. C. G. N. was one of them that we've been trading the last couple of days you could see here O. C. G. N. here's a stock that was at five dollars went to sixteen this has been going on since last week that was another one on the V. X. R. T. that would have a nice little pop that would have a nice little move right from here you can see from five dollars but it's kind of like flat line but that was one that was pretty big also was another big one that we had that did pretty well the I. S. L. yeah that one almost forgot about this one this one right here another crazy run up I mean look at this thing this one right here at ten thirty out of nowhere just pop went from like six dollars all the way up to about eight and then once again we don't start trading till the afternoon and showing up this thing at two thirty two o'clock went from eight dollars going all the way into after hours things shout to thirteen okay so if you missed the PRPO you could have got the S. I. N. the I. S. I. S. N. S. so just a great bunch of stocks that were moving up on what else oh we got a couple stocks are crashing right now obviously we did pretty well on some of them I want to bring up but this one also did pretty pretty good pretty crazy moving stock the B. T. X. my god this thing was just like I don't know where the hell this came from but this thing start around seven dollars and you could see that just about less than a week ago things shot up to eighty it was just like on fire I mean like and you could see on what happened from from Friday up until what happened going into the late hours there's another one I made a really big move so listen I'm out of here to pour you know squeeze lemon on a wound I'm just here to show you there's always opportunities every day to make money and we actually had one really nice one this morning but you started to crap out yes stuff on on YouTube is bringing it up I didn't get to that yet it's on the watch list but that the B. L. R. X. was phenomenal this morning it wasn't a huge winner but you know what at seven thirty it had like this FDA approval one of their drugs that they came out and then right around seven right before eight o'clock had the nice move and went from four forty up to about you know hover right around five it was pretty good if you jumped around eight o'clock and you saw this was one of the stocks was on the watch list in the morning and you know right around eight o'clock and started twiggling up it was a pretty good move for if you got in right around five twelve five fifteen I mean it ran all the way up to about five sixty which is not bad I mean listen if you made forty cents forty cents on a thousand shares what the hell is forty cents forty cents on a thousand shares is four hundred dollars do it every day you're talking about over two hundred thousand dollar salary and you're done for the day and you don't have to sit here and get these big winners that go up three dollars five dollars and you know a lot of you here in the cyber group room you didn't make three four dollars on stocks like PRPO or the ISNS if you made a dollar you made two dollars or you made even fifty cents you could have chased it that's all that matters day traders we don't go out there to kill it okay because everyone you try to kill it you're going to strike out more than others but anyway this stock is going on the watch list just give you guys a little heads up on this stock why kind of backed off once again a little telltale window right here over here on level four you could see there was some big big iceberg orders that started showing up around here they weren't there before but then they started coming around here you got twenty two thousand twenty four thousand and it really kind of held it that held it down that really what brought the stock down there's a buyer over here you could see it looks like he's kind of keeps refreshing updating his quote but it looks pretty interesting right around this five dollar price range once again you always see in the morning when we start we get those slingshots could make a big move we'll see how it works out but you could see from seven forty five until now five dollars does look like a really big support level not the stock that we're going to put on our watch list that want to keep an eye on is this COCP now this stock did phenomenal early early this morning you know we're not trading at five o'clock in the morning but this thing went from a dollar forty to two forty she's kind of holding you're pretty strong right here you could see on the long term chart she's got some big resistance levels right here and when I went over here to look at it the only thing that concerns me is that the stock does trade a lot of volume I look thirteen million shares already traded and when you look right here there was a big buyer it just got filled in a dollar seventy so I'm not really crazy about it you got about thirty thousand share buyer here a buck sixty you can see she's got some support levels right around that buck sixty that holds there then this could be one of those stocks to make a big move but I don't like how she trended down so I know some of you guys been bringing it up say hey you gotta found a stock of thirty seven percent that's right now it was actually up almost over a hundred percent earlier but the trend is your friend you don't want to buck that trend another stock HPB had a nice push around seven o'clock in the morning and start dwindling down was a really nice stock if you see what happened from March until now but stock I think went up a little too much she started back off it's going back on my B list and then obviously the VXRRT we've done very well with that stock lately very nice stock easy trending it's about seventeen percent but once again stock had a big run up and it's starting to back off now we're starting to get a little bit back off going on in the market we're down about a hundred fifty seven points right now and it looks like we've been kind of Tina tottering right here around these prices you could see my watch list I got a lot of reds going on right there kind of make me a little nervous I told you I'm still a little nervous about this market I'm actually I need to see what's going to happen in May to kind of see what's going to happen in the future remember you have President Biden is pitching a four trillion dollar package to spending package and I don't know if he's looking to raise the corporate tax up a lot and on big corporations so remember as a trader you have to remember companies go out of business every three months now some of you like what does that mean every three months well every three months they come out with earnings will come out big earnings so just keep in mind until if those taxes do come into fruition remember they have to incorporate that in their next quarter and we'll see how it goes on with because they always project it's not about what they project now it's what they project in the future so when you guys look at earnings where I was taught as a trader it's like yes some companies will be earnings but it's not what they would they just beat it's what they project for the next quarter to six months which will reflect the stock that will go down so I'm really curious if this package does get approved on how it's going to affect all these these public stocks at that bottom line so once again guys we don't get political here so it might be great news it might be bad news but as a trader we're just going to trade the stock if it's bad that's great because we could short okay and we can make a lot of money going short if it's good news the stock goes up we'll make money going long but we don't make money if it doesn't go anywhere that's what we don't make any money Chuck is saying the PRPO is starting to make a little bit pop yeah so it does got nice little push right there Chuck I do like that stock right there I'm looking just keep the mind it's going to be testing a resistance level right now there's about a seven to eighteen thousand share seller right around eight eight dollars six dollars and eighty eight cents he was out there earlier but there's even right around that seven you can see I'll bring it up over here so you guys could see it you could see he's been out there for a while so I mean really really that we need to break past that we got to get past as big this guy's been out there shoot look how long he's been out there for he's been out there all morning huge resistance levels so remember always have a game plan here at Cybertree University we don't teach you how to read what's happened in the past we teach you how to read what's going on in the future it's what the future is what pushes down the stock not the past because the past is not always indicative of the future all right so that's what we got going on right there and you can see here on the long-term chart so anyway not a big list this morning I was actually a little bit more hot site before but now I'm sorry to see things started dwindle down a little bit so probably have to wait until the market opens up to find a bunch of stocks I'm sorry but that's basically what's going on now did I miss anything that did not call out because sometimes here I'm chatting away you had that second wave of stocks around 9am that moved so did anyone else see anything that I did not say what do you think about what do I think about the BTX listen the BTX I told you this the last couple of days BTX is a category 5 stock unless you are one of the traders here the average between 1,000 and 2,500 a day then you could trade other than that I would stay away from BTX it's kind of flat line the stock had a big run up it's down 15 points right now you could trade listen look at the tier sizes the tier size 100 share lots you don't want to trade a stock like that all right so be very very careful trade a K on on YouTube it says IDTX it looks more like a little it's more like a slingshot right now didn't really go anyway looks like somebody just did a bid I don't know it could it could be something we could look at at the open I'll put that on the C list but not really anything to jump up around you can see it's really not doing anything David on in the cyber group room is saying the OCGN listen the stock went up we don't we don't like to worry about the past let's worry about the future in a way of the stock we had a good run up we always find something new let all the amateurs go back and trade the OCGN I know right now there's a lot of people out there that probably owned it thought they would date trading got stuck in it now became a swing trade and we know what happens these stocks the faster they go up the twice that they go down all right Lynette is bringing up UPWK UPWK it's not UPWK is that what you're telling me UPWK I don't know why we're looking at this is not doing anything it's a completely flat if that's the stock symbol that you're telling me about garbage all right guys let's get ready for the open got about 15 minutes before the market gets up let's go fill up our coffees and get ready for the market open hopefully have another exciting day like we did on yesterday remember it's always a new adventure every day and if you miss something don't worry about it they're there all day and you know what there's always tomorrow the beauty about it it's ground to hogs day here at Cybertrain University when you're a day trader it's always a new a new adventure and it's always new stocks to trade the only thing you have to focus on the tip of the day is making your days pay now before we go one last thing I want to remind everybody today at 11 o'clock we have traders talk one of the biggest events that we do here at the cybergroup room so if you want to join us feel free to join us I know Josh has a lot of good emails that came in regarding about reviewing some people's journals we're not going to tell you who they are whatever it is but we're going to sit there we're going to analyze it we're going to tell you what you did right what you did wrong it's a great event so don't miss it it's something we do in the middle of the day and most importantly we should be trading in the middle of the day so we do this once a week so don't forget to miss our traders talk today okay guys in the meantime we'll see you back at 2.30 for the afternoon meeting we'll trade you going to close and hopefully you'll have a good close like we had yesterday because that was phenomenal thanks everybody good luck be safe and we'll start commentary in the cybergroup room in about 5 and most of the market opens up and if you're watching YouTube Facebook live like I said if you ever want to join us feel free to click on the bottom and we'll see you in the room happy trading everyone be safe


Have you gone through conformational transitions? Today we're going to first look at kinetics, that is how fast do things happen, and then use that to understand why and when conformational transitions happen, in particular protein folding. But first we're going to need to look a little bit about what structures and conformations we actually have during the protein folding process. Remember when I introduced protein folding, and we talked about that rapid hydrophobic collapse. If we just throw a chain like this in back as in water, it's instantly going to collapse to something that's compact, where we have the hydrophobic residues on the inside and the hydrophilic ones on the surface, and I even call this the multi-globular. We're going to focus a little bit on this multi-globular and what it means, because on the one hand we have something completely stretched out, in the middle we have some sort of semi-defined multi-globular, and then on the other side we have the actual folded protein. So maybe we should start thinking about the reverse process. If I start with my real native protein, what does it take to disrupt that, to go either to this multi-globular or all the way out to some really stretched out coil entirely without structure? It turns out that there are two ways we can denature proteins. The obvious one is temperature. So if I just draw something as a function of temperature, going from say, I don't know, maybe zero to 80 degrees centigrade or so. At some point here, I'm going to start denaturing the protein, and here I have a native one. I'll leave that a sec until I define what that is. But there's also another axis here. So instead of temperature, I could use a chemical denaturant. Say, maybe I go in a dinomion. This looks strange, but it's pretty much just an arginine side chain. This is a carbon and then three NH2 groups. Look at the arginine side chain and then you will see why this is very similar to it. This is going to participate in lots of hydrogen bonds and even so-called salt bridges because again, this is an ion. Plus one, it's going to love to interact with something that's negatively charged in the protein. That will quickly disrupt all the hydrogen bonds and everything on the surface of a protein and destroy structure almost completely. In particular, if I add not just a millimolar or something, but one, two, three or four molars. So if I throw in a huge amount of this, say going up to four molar, guanidinium hydrochloride. At some point here, I'm going to start destroying the structure completely too. And you will just have to trust me that there is some sort of region here where we're native. And then there's going to be some band between here. And what happens here? Here, I'm going to have the multin globule and up here, I have the completely stretched out coil. So if I just heat the protein, well, I will gradually start disrupting it a bit and eventually it will lose its native role. It's no longer going to function, but it's not really, it's disrupted, but it hasn't really completely unfolded. It's not working, but it's some sort of collapsed shape here. And if I throw a ton of very strong ions of it, then I add some temperature ideally, then I will at some point completely disrupt the protein and it's just going to be small strings of amino acids left. So that's on the one hand, we want to start in the transition to the native state but also the transition between the coil and the multin globule. The problem is that I haven't shown you any multin globules. So the first thing we're going to need to do is try to look at some of these structures and what they are. The problem though is that I can't really crystallize it because it's not a well-defined structure like the native structure. So you're going to have to make do with some hand-waving examples here and some structures we've been able to determine with NMR. Let me show you.


Luis Severino was supposed to start this game against the Braves today at Steinwerter Field in Tampa, had to be scratched, felt something pull in the back of his shoulder, the lat area. He underwent an MRI, they find inflammation in the rotator cuff. He is shut down completely for two weeks on anti-inflammatories and hopefully that the pain goes away. But that's hopefully. I always get a little bit sketchy when I hear about inflammation. Inflammation is caused by something. So I don't want anybody to read all hearts and flowers and positivity out of this, nor do I want doom and gloom and negativity. Teams, this is their first step when somebody is injured. Inflammation. Inflammation is caused by something. What is causing the inflammation in this rotator cuff? That's a scary proposition. This is not an elbow, nor is it something that's easily fixed if it is a rotator cuff problem. This is a guy the Yankees locked into for four years, $40 million, and a lot of people asked Severino, why did you sign for that? Why didn't you bet on yourself? For this very reason, because a pitcher is so fragile, their next pitch could be the last pitch they ever throw. I'm not saying that that's the case with Luis Severino, but boy, it is a hold your breath moment for the New York Yankees and what they want to do this season. This is their ace. This is their ace. When you talk to the Yankees about why didn't you go out and get, we have an ace. He's their ace. Now, everybody felt that last year, the second half of the year, it was all because he was tipping pitches. Now your mind starts to wander. Was he tipping pitches? And please, the one answer I don't want, because I've heard it all before. Well, he's throwing hard, so we know he's healthy. That's not true. That's a lie. I'm not saying anybody's saying that. But remember, Nathan Evaldi, the pitch before he blew out his elbow again, it was 100 miles an hour. He's pitching with a bad elbow. You can generate velocity, but that makes any kind of injury or pain kills location, kills movement. Yeah, you can still throw hard. You can hump it up and throw hard. So now the next thing is going to be, well, the Yankees have to go out and get a pitcher. Not necessarily. I mean, they do have depth on their team for a reason. They like Loisiga, they like Herman, they like Sessa. Right now, Aaron Boone just said, there's inflammation in the rotator cuff. They're going to shut them down for two weeks. The guys that would fill in would be Loisiga or Herman. Looks like Sessa's going to be locked in to maybe taking over for C.C. first time through and then go to the bullpen. But shutting a pitcher down for two weeks is scary because something's up. Do the two weeks heal it? Could be, but I wouldn't swear to it. I wouldn't bet my life savings on it. Nor would I bet my life savings that he's hurt. I just want everybody to look at this in a lucid way.  But there's no reason to feel giddy about the fact that it's rotator cuff soreness or inflammation. Inflammation is caused by something. What is that? And to shutting it down and anti-inflammance, stop it. Yankees are hoping that that's the case. I've always worried when it came to Severino, Don, he throws so hard. And he throws so hard for so long. First hitting through the ninth inning, he's throwing 99-100. The human arm doesn't really react that well to that kind of velocity on a consistent basis. And you always wondered when would he get hurt. You weren't hoping that it would be 24 or 25 years old. And I'm not saying he seriously hurt now. But this, I don't care.  This is a legitimate cause of concern for the New York Yankees. This is their ace.  And he's going to start the season probably sometime in the middle of April if everything goes great. Let's just say that that's the case. You have other aces on your staff. Tanaka can be the stopper and be the ace. What do you want from your ace? It's not just the fact that you're going to go that first time in the season. It's the guy that's supposed to stop your losing streaks. It's the guy that you're going to know. We're going to win today because he's our ace. Well Tanaka can be that. I think the Yankee fans are going to be very happy with Paxton when you bring to the table. He can be that. So you have a temporary replacement for an ace. So it's not like your number two is a hack. Okay. So they'll be okay there. Michael July, August and September. He was not the same picture as it was the beginning of the season. Okay. Didn't give you a lot of innings. It was very hittable. The Yankees still went 15 and 6 in the 21 games he started in July, August and September. So they won games despite the fact that Severino suffered. So whoever is going to be in the rotation replacing him. This Yankees offense can supply enough of a cover where they can win those games. And they've got the wherewithal if they want to to add a good pitcher. Apparently they were interested in Gonzalez before this injury even happened. So you can sign Geo Gonzalez and plug him into your rotation. Well there was there was positive discussion about him. I'm not sure that they were interested in signing before Severino. But if there was discussion well now that discussion gets amped up he's still a free agent. So you can replace him. What's Montgomery's history? He's probably back at best case scenario end of July. So this is a team that can survive this Michael. Oh yeah but it's a loss.


in the heart of Silicon Valley extracting the signal from the noise. It's the Cube covering OpenStack Silicon Valley 2015. Brought to you by Morantis. Now your hosts, John Furrier and Jeff Rick. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are back live here in Silicon Valley. This is the Cube which is Silicon Angle Media's flagship program where we go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. Wrapping up day two of OpenStack SV, hashtag OpenStack SV or hashtag OSSV15. Again, this is the Cube. We're going to wrap it up. Go to siliconangle.com. Go to wikibond.org, Silicon Angle's research team. Breaking down all the action. There's now a paid research subscription for all the latest up-to-date stuff there. Of course go to siliconangle.tv for all the Cube content and more and more to come. Obviously CrowdChat is our social engagement application. I'm John Furrier with Jeff Rick. Wrapping up day two and the entire OpenStack SV event here in Silicon Valley. Jeff, great day. First of all, this event is really about the vendors. It's about the industry players who are making it happen. People who are the news makers, the thought leaders, and the people building products. There's some customers here, but for the most part it's mostly the players, the tech athletes, the people that we love. And it's the tech athletes that are making it happen. And again, great lineup. Jesse Proudman just came on. Derek Collison, former VM. We're built that cloud now. Got to start up. We had lithium folks on here doing some cutting edge work. They have cloud. They got big data. Mark Interante, SVP of engineering at HP. Breaking it down to former Yahoo. Entrepreneur, Shang Liang, CEO of Rancher Labs. Boris Ransky co-founder of Mirantis with Intel. Talking about the $100 million investment in Mirantis. That's just today. Yes, today. Whole big lineup. What's your take? Yeah, it's still a vendor show. There's still a lot of excitement. It still seems to be on the edge of being ready to go. There's a couple customers that get touted out. The latest one being Walmart, who we talked to in Seattle. But hopefully next year we'll see more customers. We want to see more customers that are putting this into play. There's still a lot of conversations, which I thought interesting. We just had Jesse on talking about delivering the experience, not necessarily delivering a software and a hardware manual. And I think Carpenter see everything as a nail. This is still a lot of the vendors. They're still looking at it from the perspective of what are they building and how are they delivering it versus really flipping to look at it from the customer and the consumer's point of view, which is really what Amazon did in the first place to start this whole revolution is really focus on ease of experience for somebody that wants to get some compute power on tap. So I think there's still a ways to go. But there's certainly an enthusiastic community. Everyone's already talking about running off to Tokyo. They had Paris, they had Seattle, they had Vancouver. So it's a vibrant community still early days. Everyone's working hard sharing lots of ideas and you can see it in the hallways. But hopefully next year more customers. I want to see more customers, John. Yeah, and I think what I'm excited about is that the technology innovation is still vibrant. But OpenStack is at an inflection point. Taking on AWS on a frontal basis is a bad competitive strategy. I think they've come to realize that is a bigger picture. OpenStack with the open cloud fabric is moving the goalposts. They try to change the game on AWS, IBM, HP. These guys have differentiation that they could add. But one thing is super clear, that there will be multiple players in the enterprise, not just one. And the notion of hybrid cloud is still elusive. It is an outcome. It is not a product. And this is going to be a major battleground, a fight to the death of for some. And certainly a winner will will take a big part of the market. But again, it's not a winner take all market. The hybrid cloud is ultimately what everyone wants. Let's take into that a little bit more, John. You asked everyone that came on the show, what is a hybrid cloud? What does it mean? We've got a variety of answers. Yes, it exists. No, it doesn't exist. Actually, Jesse just actually gave a use case of a specific customer that had a single workload divided over two two different clouds of private and public. But kind of what's your takeaway now hearing from all the all the all the folks? Well, my takeaway is clear. It's unknown really what that is. And that's because the market is developing in real time. I think Jesse kind of simplified it using 451 research, which is kind of a elementary example of what it is. I don't think I agree with that 100%. But it's a nice sound bite. It's clean. But what he's pointing out is, in fact, even at the most elementary level called the kindergarten cloud is that if you have a workload on private or on premise and in public cloud and are moving it around, that is the minimum requirement to me for hybrid cloud. Others will poo poo it because they're talking more about the underlying infrastructure. Craig, Mick Lucky from Google will say, Hey, hybrid cloud is still elusive because there are a lot of underpinnings that in the services line need to kind of get straight now. There's a lot of gaps in the in the in the platform. This orchestration what what containers are doing are showing a new lightweight cloud. And this is completely different animal than what the outcome is. So to me, again, I think most of the majority is yes, no, but I think everyone is generally in agreement that hybrid cloud is ultimately the cloud. And that there will be interoperability developers that will run on multiple environments. And that that's not something that can really nail down. It really is hard to pin down. But ultimately, I think hybrid cloud is the cloud and public and private are subordinate elements and subsystems to that hybrid cloud. So again, hybrid cloud is a final destination. And it's all about resource allocation and cost. Yeah. And I think the other really thing that just jumps out is the whole container thing and Docker and how that has really changed changed the game. And you know, be careful what you think you think you're ahead of the game, you think you're the latest technology and boom, before you know it, there's somebody else that shows up. We see the same thing in the big data world with the with the spark, right? Suddenly, Hadoop's been clicking along all of a sudden spark is here and everyone's like spark, spark, spark. Let's shift gears a little bit, John. Let's talk about the stock market's been going bananas the last couple of days, right?  And there's all this speculation about bubbles. What do you think? Where's the bubble? Where's not the bubble? Where's the meat on the bone? Where's the just the sizzle? There's definitely a bubble, in my opinion. I think the bubble is bursting as we speak, but it's a soft bursting. It's kind of elongated versus happening over a period of time. I think you're going to see valuations drop significantly. And here's why. Like the dot com bubble, the consumer mobile, whatever you want to call it, is experienced exactly the same thing. However, what is softening the blow on the bubble in terms of actually seeing a depression or a significant recession or a downward slope that's really in a that's got a high slope, is that the enterprise market actually is growing and changing and transforming. So that enterprise market has fundamental underlying technologies. I had quoted Dave Donatelli in talking with Jesse Proudman saying, there's radical change happening at the infrastructure level. And for that reason, his wealth creation and new startups, we had a startup on here. And again, that is going to be the case. Lou Tucker, who's a veteran in the business who's seen multiple cycles, said technology will out ride the business bubble. And I think that to me is the fundamental thing that's happening. Now, in terms of the general market, Joe Sixpack on the street, public companies valuations, in my opinion, are reasonably valued. There's a liquid market there. Things are trading. It's the private companies that are bubbled up, and that's driven by their need to compete with the with the big companies. So you look at private companies, accomplished on salaries and OpEx. They're spending money to look bigger, buying sales. When you start to see a cost of per order dollar or to get a customer, two dollars to spend to get one dollar, that's not a good sign. That to me is really a sign of the bubble. And when that money shuts off, it's going to be bad. And the economic effect is going to be similar to what we're seeing in China. And that's going to either come rapidly or happen slowly. And the air is going to let out and the correction will happen. But we are in a correction, in my opinion. And I think ultimately, if you don't have money in the bank or a business model, you are going to be screwed. And you need to think about what you're going to do to get to high ground or figure out a pivot. So to me, it's definitely happening. Enterprise is growing. That's kind of softening the general Silicon Valley bubble mentality, in my opinion. And how do you like just all the plays that Intel is making? You know, Intel is just a great company because they always play at the infrastructure level, right? They want the tide to come up. They support everybody's boats. You know, they're making huge plays in the data center, obviously, which is where most of the compute's happening these days. What do you think of the Intel investment in Mirantis as well as a plethora of other investments they're making all in the field of big data in cloud? I think the big companies are realizing and certainly seeing the open stack that they're going to ultimately be the winners in this consolidation or the bubble correction we were talking about earlier. I think that there's going to be a price collapse for the little guys. It's going to be hard to compete. Intel has always been a great player by getting ahead of the curve. Pat Gelsinger, a former Intel executive president, said on theCUBE, if you're not out in front of that next wave, you're driftwood. And I think Intel has always had a discipline for being ahead of the next curve. And I've seen this early on in the 90s when they were investing in the PC market. They were investing in multimedia back in the day and they lost a ton of money but they were doing a lot of investments. So they were actually putting bets out and fostering an ecosystem, nurturing the innovation. I think that's what's great about Silicon Valley, Jeff, is that the innovation and the technology will last through cycles. And that's what Intel has always done. Intel is the kind of player and now you're seeing with Google, significantly doing the same thing, investing in technology because technology will ride out the business bubble. Now, with respect to the Mirantis bets and then Cloudera, where they put hundreds of millions of dollars in the table, I call that, to use the poker analogy, the big blind. They're putting money on the table because they know whatever cards come out, they're going to be the winner. So even if, say, Cloudera doesn't make it or changes the outcome, they're still going to have big data DNA in their chip set. If Mirantis doesn't work out or that even grows, even to be successful, on either side of the scenario, they win because they can bring in some of the open stack stuff, bring that technology onto Silicon. That will power Internet of Things, mobile cars, wearables, watches, everything. So I think Intel is the platform, continuing to be that compute, integrated, hard, Silicon platform. And I love what Intel's doing. So the cloud week continues. So next week we go to the granddaddy of them all for cloud shows, I think, which is VMworld. We've been, I think, or 60 year VMworld. What are you looking for next week at VMworld, John? VMworld is going to be fun. Again, I'm super excited because we're going to be in Moscone North, which is the main lobby. I should go to the keynotes, half that lobby with two stages and we'll have a crowd chat section. But to me, VMware and particularly EMC's federation is under siege by Elliott Capital. Elliott Capital is forcing their hand and they might do something medieval. So I'm looking for signals around EMC's federation strategy with respect to Visa V to VMware. There was an article by Recode, which I may think may or may not happen where VMware buys EMC, I'm going to look for that. And that will dominate the discussion in the hallways. It's going to dominate the discussion with the analysts. But fundamentally, VMware has to put out a cloud product with their vCloud and other services. So to me, VMware under whatever scenario you're talking about has to have an end-to-end solution. They got end-user computing led by Sanjay Poonan. Pat Gelsinger better be architecting an end-to-end solution because customers are looking for engineered systems and they're going to want to coexist with existing partners. So I'm looking for that. And finally, I'm looking at the ecosystem. I've been seeing the ecosystem once vibrant, kicking butt, all VMware, all virtualization, slowly leaking out a lot of Azure conversations happening in the VMware ecosystem. And that's not a surprise to me, Jeff, because Microsoft's, Azure's been aggressive. They have a market share in the enterprise. So I look for Azure and VMware cloud to go head-to-head directly. And I think that's something that's going to be one of those tea leaves that I'll be reading. Yeah. Well, once again, we are the last people here. They're breaking down the set. So we've got to break it down. It's been a good two days, John. Always fun to come to. Well, it's nice to be right in our backyard here at the Computers Museum in Mountain View, which itself is a historical place. It used to be the Silicon Graphics headquarters before they built their new headquarters, which is now Google's headquarters and really right in the action. LinkedIn is just right across the way. And so it's great to be here. Big shout out to the crew, Andrew back in Boston, working hard. Alex is here doing a lot of extra pictures and capture. We're really excited about that. Leonard, Greg on the board. Ariana doing our social. So, you know, we come to these things. We bring a full crew. We really want... Who don't forget Patrick's over there too. Sorry, Patrick. Ariana. Ariana. I got Ariana. So... Jeff, let me handle the shout-outs. We land. We land. Let me handle it. We land. We come in and we got a really big production that we're excited about for VMworld. So this is going to be great. And thanks to our sponsors, Bluebox, HP, and Brandtis. Brandtis. Our second year covering OpenStack Silicon Valley. It probably won't be our last event. It's been a home run. Really founded by Mirantis. Congratulations to Mirantis and the entire ecosystem. Again, look for us next week. The three full days at VMworld. And then a slew of great fall coverage. Oracle Open World. Splunk.conference. Amazon re-invent. Pentaho World. So much more this fall. Look for theCUBE. Thanks for watching. This isn't signing off from Silicon Valley. See you next time.


Welcome back to theCUBE coverage of Red Hat Summit 2021. Virtual, I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE. We've got a great lineup here. We've got two great guests, Ashish Bhadani, SVP of Cloud Platforms at Red Hat, and Tracy Rankin, VP of OpenShift Engineering at Red Hat. Folks, thanks for coming on. Good to see you. We've got some big news. You guys have made some acquisitions. Stack Rocks, you guys bought into Red Hat was a really big deal. People want to know what's the story? How's it going? What's the app to take? What's the integration? How's it going? Great, thanks, John. Thanks for having us on. So yeah, we're really excited with the Stack Rocks acquisition being the team on board. Well, the first thing to note before you and why we did it was for you and then the viewers who've been following us closely, this is our first acquisition as Red Hat being part of IBM. So quite big for us from that perspective as well, right? Continue to maintain our independence. Within IBM and I really appreciate that way of working together. But saying all of that aside, as a company, we've always been focused on ensuring that we're delivering enterprise capabilities to customers. We've been doing that for two decades with Linux. Security's always been a big part of our story, right? Ensuring that we're finding CVEs, updating and sending out patches to our customers and doing that in a reliable fashion, running mission-critical applications. We applied that same, if you will, so security mindset on the Kubernetes side with the OpenShift platform. We've invested in security ourselves organically, right? You know, in various areas of making it more secure, right? Can't run containers as root by default, investing in things like role-based access control and so on. And we really felt like, look, we want to deepen our commitment to security. And so in conversations with StackRocks, we found just a great fit for it, just a great team, building a really interesting approach to Kubernetes security, right? You know, very declarative approach to it, focus and a vision around this notion of shift left, right? You've probably been hearing it on that buzzword a little bit, right? Which is this idea that we're in the world moving from DevOps to DevSecOps and the approach that StackRocks was taking. So great team, great product, really great vision with regard to kind of whether going forward and finding a nice alignment between, you know, they've been thinking about the value that we want to bring.  You know, you remember back in 2019, I interviewed Arvin on theCUBE when he was at IBM and you guys were still independent and he had a smile on his face. He is pro-cloud, he is all about cloud native and even that interview, I had no idea what was going on behind the scenes, but I was kind of drilling in on some of the things that were important at that time, which are now certainly relevant today, which is cloud native, agile development, programmable infrastructure. I don't think we touched on security that much, but it was kind of inherent in the conversation. He was like all smiling. He loves the cloud native and this is where it comes into the relevance. I have to ask you, what was it like to get this through IBM where they were like grow green light or was it different? What was different about this acquisition? Well, John, great, great question for you to ask.  We were working at Red Hat, John theCUBE, you know, we've talked to you and several of your colleagues about that. The great thing has been that look, the Red Hat way of working and also pushing forward with regard to our commitment to open source and our culture, you know, is still the way it is. And I have to give huge credit not just to Arvin and his team, but definitely to Arvin, right? He's champion, he's champion of the Red Hat acquisition. He's champion kind of, you know, the independence that we've had and he takes a very, very firm stance around it. And look, IBM's a story company in the United States and really in the world. They have, their ways of working. And, you know, for Red Hat, they've kind of said, look, we'll give you a pass path, right? So getting the acquisition through, if you will, IBM processes really was hugely supported by, you know, from Arvin, but all the way down the rest of the organization. Obviously a strategic bet with the dollars involved. Tracy, I want to get you in this because, you know, one of the things about shift left and getting security built in by default, which has always been part of Red Hat. That's never been an issue. It just extends as developers want to have native security built in. There's a technology angle to this as well. So obviously cloud native is super important. What investments are you guys making with this acquisition and how does that translate to customer benefits? Yeah, I mean, the one thing that is really important about the StackRox acquisition and kind of, you know, key for us is, you know, this was a cube native solution. And I think that's really, you know, was important pieces to why StackRox might have been, you know, was a great fit for us. And so, you know, what we've been trying to do in the short time that that team is, you know, been on board with us is really, you know, taking a deep look and understanding where are the intersection points of some of the things that we have been trying to focus on, you know, just within side of, you know, OpenShift and Red Hat in general, and where do they have bring the additional value in really trying to make sure that when we create this solution and ultimately, it is a solution that's cohesive across the board. We don't add confusion to, you know, what some of the things that maybe we already do.  They really know what the customers are looking for. And we're just trying to absorb, I would say, so much of this information as we are trying to, you know, create what the right roadmap will be for StackRox from the long-term and for Red Hat ultimately in the security space.  And so, you know, we want to make sure that what we've got that actually serves, you know, the developers, being able to not just secure the environment and the platform, but also the workloads, customers need that security from us and build it in so that we have, you know, into the CUBE native controls. So StackRox was known for kind of reinventing, you know, security, enterprise security with cloud native. How is it complementary? How does it fit in? Can you guys just quickly talk to that point because, like you said, you guys had security, but as Kubernetes and containers in general continue to rise up and Kubernetes continues to become a hybrid cloud kind of linchpin for applications. Where's the synergy? Where does this connect in? What are some of the areas where it's fitting in nicely or any overlaps that you might can talk about as well? Yeah, I can start on the maybe Tracy, if you want to add to that, security is a, it's a wide space, right?  Right?  I mean, it's a huge, huge, you know, space. There's, you know, many companies devoted to the entire spectrum, self has a very robust security business. We're very focused on, you know, I think Tracy was talking about this, the Kubernetes native security part of this, right?  Well, if they're in one cluster, are they being applied consistently across, you know, every cluster? How do we make sure that, you know, we make security the domain, not just of the operators, but also in the, make it easier for it to be adopted at development time. So, you know, there's a, if you will, a very sort of large surface area for security, we're trying to really think about the pieces that are most relevant for our enterprise customers and the ones that are deploying it at scale, and ensure we can build that. Having said that, John, what I do want to add also is that because it expands even of Kubernetes security so large, there is a lot of room for our partners to play, right? And so before you ask me that question, I want to say that there is space, right? So, you know, I've had conversations with, you know, all the other folks in the cloud native security space, we know them well, we've been working with them over the years, and we continue to look forward to ensuring that they're building over and above the foundation that we're laying out. So, Polya Beachhead, what you're saying from a security standpoint, you guys hit the table stakes, added into the product, but there's so much surface area going on with this hybrid cloud and soon to be multi-cloud that you're saying there's room for partners to play. Exactly right. Okay, Tracy, quick under the hood, you know, obviously shift left, that's kind of the mindset for developers who are writing modern applications, might not want to get under the hood who just want all the programmability of security, and not have to come back to it. I mean, that seems to be the complaint that I hear. It's like, okay, I got to come back and do a security, more security work. I've just wrote the code, that was last week or yesterday. And that seems to be the developer productivity. And then there's also under the hood DevOps. What's, how does this all fit? Yeah, so let's take a step back and this is how I kind of like to think about it. So we are trying to look at, you know, how do we just enable in some of this CI CD, the tooling that we have, how do we actually take and enable some of the technology that was already available in StackRox today and actually put it into those tools? Cause if we can make it easy for you to not just develop your application and, you know, integrate it in with what you're, the tooling is that you're trying to use for the entire life cycle of developing your application. It then becomes exactly what you didn't say. You know, what they're doing now is it's an afterthought. We don't need it to be an afterthought. And I think, you know, we're seeing that change in from a customer mindset where there become customers are becoming a lot more aware of these things. So if we actually get this into, you know, some of the Argo and the CI CD pipeline work, then it just becomes something natural and not a secondary thought. Cause actually when it's a secondary thought, we have exposures and that's not what a customer wants when they're creating, you know, creating these workloads. They're trying to rapidly create the workloads. So we need to make it to have those integration points in as quickly as possible. Totally nailed. I mean, there's productivity issues and there's also the top line, which is security. Great stuff. Congratulations on that acquisition. Security continues to be built in from the beginning. That's what people want. They want productivity, want security. Great stuff. Great acquisition. Congratulations. Next, next segment I want to get into is open shifts around telemetry. Tell us about telemetry for OpenShift, Ashash. What is this about? Yeah, another big interesting topic for us. So over a year ago, we released OpenShift 4 and, you know, we learned a lot of lessons, you know, shipping OpenShift 3 and over the years and really getting feedback from hundreds of customers around the globe. One of the things obviously we heard from a lot was, you know, make the install the upgrade experience better, right? But, you know, we were thinking about how can we take that forward to the next level, right? Which is, is there a way for us to say, you know, let these clusters be connected up so we can, you know, get a better sense of cluster health and help with remote health monitoring and be able to proactively provide information back to our customers around, let's say, you know, if applications are healthy, clusters are healthy and how they're running and how we can help them configure them if they're not. So that led us to introducing telemetry or remote health monitoring directly into OpenShift 4 as a value that we can provide to customers. And what that really starts doing is starts bringing this notion of a public cloud-like experience. Two customers with clusters run across the hybrid cloud, right? So you have the expectation that, you know, your clusters are monitored and watched over in the public cloud and we want to make sure we can provide that to customers regardless of, you know, where they're running in. So, so that's powerful. So just a quick question on that. Insights for OpenShift, that's what you're getting to. Is that on premise and in the cloud? So it's hybrid environment, is that correct? Exactly, right? So the insights for OpenShift is all about that, right? So how can we proactively, you know, identify risk, help remediate it? How can we do things like, for example, give you recommendations, cost optimization, right? Insights around that, and to your point, right? The goal is to make it completely hybrid. So it's obviously a new area, right? For customers who aren't necessarily used to that, you know, in an on-premise environment, they're used to that in a public cloud or a cloud-needed environment. And we're trying to make sure we bring that consistently across to our customers, you know, regardless of where they're running it on. Tracy, talk about the developer productivity involved. Because if you have telemetry and you have insight into what's going on in the infrastructure and the data and what's going on in the application, you can be more proactive. You don't have to get pulled into these rabbit holes of troubleshooting, oh, is a trace over here or something's going on over here? Are clusters going down? Or should I could have caught that? There's a lot of, you know, good intentions with the code and then all of a sudden new code gets pushed and then all of a sudden that triggers this to go off and you have all these kind of dependencies, day two operations.  And then it's like, wait, that could have been a void.  We could have fixed that. This is kind of the basic, what I call human software error kind of stuff that's not intended. Does telemetry help this area? Yeah, it does. And actually at one point that even to take it further that I think it's important is our customers can learn from each other, not even having to talk to each other, which is the beauty of what telemetry is and what Red Hat Insights for OpenShift is. You know, what we have been able to see is, you know, there are certain characteristics that happen even across certain groups of customers. They don't know that. They don't talk to each other, but the telemetry is giving us a nigh into what some of those patterns are. And so when a customer in one site starts to have, we start to see telemetry, you know, maybe a TV is going down for a certain reason and we can determine that. We then have the ability to take that telemetry and be able to send alerts back to all the other customers and say, hey, we recognize this might be coming an issue. You know, here's how you might remediate it. Or, hey, we've already put a fix out for this issue that we're starting to see you having an issue. You should probably take action on. So it's an increasing the efficiency of customers without them necessarily having to, you know, constantly be understanding, monitoring, you know, watching everything like they had had to do from a V3 perspective. We're now giving them some of the insights of what we know as developers back to them. You know, that's interesting. I think that's really key, Shesh, because I was talking to a friend last night, we were just talking about cybersecurity and we're talking about how a lot of these things are patterns that are the same. And people just don't talk to each other. This is no shared insights. I think this is an interesting dynamic where you can get the collective intelligence of other patterns and then share that. So the question that, I mean, first of all, that's a game changer in my opinion. So that's awesome. The question I have is can you guys push alerts and recommendations to the customers? So from this data. So how does that work? Is that built into the product?  We've seen this before. We've seen this movie. I mean, Shesh, is that built in? Yeah, so John, you're keying into exactly where we're taking this, right? And I think Tracy started putting out some breadcrumbs for you there.  Then information starts getting reported. We start getting exactly to what you said, John, right? A set of patterns that we can see. Tracy start talking about, well, if we see pattern on one end, we can go off and help customers on another end. Now, if you take this forward, I think the first word for your viewers today, introduce AI, you know, into this, right? And then we can start almost starting to be proactive now of saying, look, you know, following actions are going to be committed or we expect them to be committed. You know, here's what the outcome is as a result of that. Here's what we'd recommend for you to do, right? So start, you know, proactive remediation on that. So that is exactly, you know, the surface that we're trying to lay down here. And I think this is a huge point. Yeah, huge game changer. Well, great stuff. I want to move on to the next we're getting written. We can go on for hours on that one topic. I think telemetry is a super important trend. You guys are on top of a great, great job that it bring in the AI piece. I think that's super cool. Let's get back to the kind of blocking and tackling. Tracy, you know, one of the things that we're seeing with DevOps as it goes mainstream now, you got DevSecOps in there too, is you've got the infrastructure and you got the modern application development. Modern application developers just want to code, be productive, all that security shifting left, everyone's all happy, that thing's going great. Under the hood, you have a whole set of developers working on infrastructure. At the end of the day, customers don't want to manage their own infrastructure. How is Red Hat focused on these now two groups? Cause you got this SRE like CloudOps persona developing in the enterprise, and you got the developers. So it's kind of like almost two worlds coming together. How are you helping customers, control their infrastructure and manage it better? Yeah, so great question. And this really plays to the strength of what we have been trying to champion here at Red Hat for many years now around the hybrid cloud. And this, you know, hopefully everybody's recently heard about the announcement we've made with our new offering Rosa in partnership with Amazon. You know, you've got different offerings that enables customers to really focus as you mentioned on the key aspects that they are concerned about, which is how do they drive their businesses? How do they create their applications, their workloads that they need to and offload, you know, the need for having to understand all of the IT infrastructure that's underneath. We want to at Red Hat to reduce the operational complexity that customers are having and give them the ability to really focus on what's important for them, how can they be able to scale out their applications, their businesses and continue to add value where they need to have. And so I think it's great. We're seeing a huge uptake right now and we've got customers and they understand completely this hybrid cloud model where they're purchasing open shift for certain, you know, applications and workloads that they want to run inside their own data centers. And then for those that they know that they don't, you know, don't have to be inside their own data centers, they don't want to have all of that operational complexity. They want to utilize some of the cloud. That's when they're starting to look at other things like Rosa or, you know, open shift dedicated and really starting to, you know, find the right mix that works well for their business. So are you saying that you guys are going to the next level because the previous, I won't say generation, but the current situation was, okay, born in the cloud or you lift and shift to the cloud, you do that manually, then you go on premise to build that cloud operations. Now you're in a hybrid environment. So you're saying if I get this right that you guys are providing automation around standing up and building services on AWS and cloud, public cloud and hybrid. Is that kind of what you're getting at? Yeah, so to go into a hybrid multi-cloud world, right? You want platform consistency, right? Running my application, running it on the platform consistently, you know, everywhere we go, right? Tracy started talking about this idea of, in some cases you say, well, I've got infrastructure team, I've got the ops team, John, you talked about this notion of well-did jobs can be hard sometimes, right, for some groups. And so, hey, Red Hat or hey, Red Hat plus, you know my hyperscaler of choice, you know, take that off of my hands, right? Run that for me consistently yourself, right? So I focus on my application and the management of infrastructure is something that's on you. Tracy talked about Rosa, that's our joint first-party service that, you know we've got with Amazon, we're directly available in Amazon's console, you can go pull that down, right? You'll see Red Hat OpenShift on AWS, right on there. We've got a similar one with Microsoft Azure. Tracy mentioned OpenShift dedicated, we stand up the platform, we have our own SRE team that manages it, you know, with IBM as well as with Google. So you pick your cloud of choice and we'll make sure, you know, we'll give you a platform that if you as a customer so choose to self-manage, great, go for it. If you'd like for us to manage it directly ourselves or in conjunction with the cloud provider and provide it to you as a native service, you know, we can do that for you as well, right?  That's very cool. So you got to manage servers, they can do it themselves, whatever they want, they can do it on public cloud and hybrid, great stuff. Yeah, I think that's the key and that's killer. Now the next question is my favorite, I want to ask you guys both, pretend I'm a customer and I'm like, okay, Tracy, tell me, what's in it for me? What is OpenShift and Red Hat doing for me as the customer? What are you bringing to the table for me? What are you going to do for me? What is Red Hat doing for me today? So if you had to kind of bottom line me, we're in the elevator or I ask you, I like what I'm hearing. Why are you cool? Why are you relevant? What's in it for me? Well, I appreciate it. You want me to start? I can't tell you where it's at. Yeah, so I mean, I think it's a couple of things that we, let's just tie it back to the first initial blend. I mean, we've got, we're enabling the customers to choose like, where do they want to work, run their workloads? What do they want to focus on? I think that's the first thing. We're enabling them to also determine like what workloads do they want to put on there? We continue to expand the workloads that we are providing capabilities to customers.  Huge plus for us.  We're talking about, you know, moving, workloads need to go to the edge now. It's not just about being in the data centers. So it's about enablement.  Ashesh, your answer. How would you say the answer to that? I'll, I'll, I'll build on what Tracy said, right? She obviously took the, you know, build up product management perspective on it. I'll, I'll sort of talk about a business thing here that we're introducing actually at, right at Summit.   And, you know, in the past, we've made an acquisition of CoreOS. We got a lot of technology from that incorporated into the platform and also things like the Quake Container Registry. What we're introducing at Red Hat Summit is a way for us to package all of that together. So a customer doesn't say, look, you know, let me pick out a container platform here. Let me go find, you know, some way to manage it over there.  We're introducing something called OpenShift Platform Plus, right? Which is a packaging of, you know, Core OpenShift Container Platform. The capabilities within stack rocks, which we're calling Advanced Cluster Security, capabilities of cluster management, which is called Advanced Cluster Management and the Quake Container Registry. All those want to make it much easier for customers to consume that.  Ashash and Tracy, great segment, great insight here on the cloud platform and OpenShift under the hood. You guys are well positioned and I was, you know, talking about Arvin and IBM who acquired Red Hat. You know, it's pretty clear that cloud native hybrid is the new cloud operating environment. That's clear. You guys are well positioned and congratulations. Final question, Ashash, take a minute to quickly put the plug in for OpenShift. What's next? Looking forward, what are you guys building on? What's on the roadmap? If you can, I'm not going to share the roadmap, but yeah, tell us what you're thinking about. I mean, you're innovating out in the open, love your shirt, by the way, and that's the Red Hat way. Looking ahead, what's coming for OpenShift? Yeah, so John, I will say this, our roadmap is out in the open. Every quarter, our product managers host a session, right, open to anybody, right? You know, customers, prospect, competitors, anybody. It can come on and hear about our roadmap. Lots of interesting things that we're working on. As you could imagine, investments on the edge front, right? So, and that's across our portfolio, right? On the OpenShift side, but also on our Linux platform as well as on the OpenStack front, make it easier to have slimmed down OpenShift to be able to run that, be able to run OpenShift in remote locations and then manage it. So expect for us, you know, just to show you more work there, bringing things like AI and more workloads directly onto the platform, right? So you'll see what we're doing to get more analytics on, work we're doing to take a technology set we've got called OpenData Hub to make it easier to run more data intensive, more AI ML types of frameworks directly on the platform. And so that's a great interest. More workloads, Tracy start talking about that, right? So Windows Container Support has GAID and then what's really awesome about that is that we've done that with Microsoft, right? So that offering is jointly supported by both us and our partners over at Microsoft. OpenShift Virtualization, which is taking virtual machines and being able to run them as containers orchestrated by Kubernetes and doing more work, you know, on that front as well. So just a lot of different areas we're investing in and really, really excited to bring more workloads onto our cloud. Well, Shesh, Tracy, great segment with a lot of data in there. Thanks for spending the time and providing that insight and sharing the information. A lot of flowers blooming here in the cloud native environment, a lot of action, a lot of new stuff going on. Love the shift left. I think that's super relevant. You guys doing a great job. Thanks for coming on. Appreciate it. Thanks for having us. Okay. This is theCUBE's coverage of Red Hat Summit. I'm John Furrier, host of theCUBE. Thank you for watching.
