Welcome back everybody. It's great to see you again. I know it's been a long time since we've done one of these How to give you some practical advice videos for leadership in your business, but we're back We're gonna do some more of these. I hope you like these. I hope you like the interviews We're doing we're gonna have all those mixed in I don't know how often we're gonna do one of these videos But we're gonna try to get back to doing them weekly I'm gonna try to start doing some Q&As as well so you can ask us some questions But today our first topic coming back after a long hiatus from doing these kinds of videos is We're gonna answer the question. What's holding back my business? I think every business owner has been there. I think every business owner has felt Something's holding it back. What's holding back my business? I'm not making as much money as I want I'm not making as much money or I'm not growing. I don't have any clients or I don't not growing as fast as I Should be what's going on? What's holding back my business? And so what this all comes down to is we get wrapped up in where we think we're supposed to be was talking with someone about this a couple of weeks ago and The first part of the advice here today, and this isn't the practical stuff. We're gonna get to that is Don't worry about where you're supposed to be. Don't worry about other people's businesses. Don't worry about What you see on Instagram with people with the Lamborghinis and the trips and the Selfies with famous people at conferences if you feel like you're something's holding back your business We need to focus on much more short-term things. We need to focus on where we can put your time and energy To get your business to where you think it needs to be not where not what your idea of what other people think it's supposed to be is So that's the first part of the advice I know you've probably heard that don't compare yourself to other people advice over and over and over again And so we're gonna step into some practical tips of where you can spend your time and energy Instead of worrying about and comparing yourself to other people Here's some tips you can use some actions You can take to spend that time and energy on something that's productive and the first thing is define success for you in your business Not Lamborghinis not Instagram selfies not what is it for your what makes your business successful in your mind? And that's a really hard thing to do because we have a lot of input We have a lot of pressure on us if you're struggling with that question. What does success mean to me? I would start with in the very short term as we try to get these actions going to get your business rolling What is that bare minimum and? Let's talk about it in terms of revenue coming in the door into your business What's that bare minimum of revenue? I need for this to be worthwhile to me to keep doing this Once you can answer that question Then we can move on to the rest of it and again revenues not revenues not the answer for everybody Sometimes it's I want to be the boss and I want to have a few people working for me So that I don't have to do all the work and that's great That's okay, too But again, that's probably going to translate into the amount of revenue to come in the door Because you need to pay the people who are going to be working for you So first to find what success means to you and let's start with what's that bare minimum? I need to keep myself interested in doing this business before I go get a nine to five job Number two after you defined with that success whether it's a number or something else means to you We need to set some goals some short-term goals that we're going to work on every day We're going to take the time and put in the energy every day to work on those goals And this requires some honest talk and self-assessment some self-reflection on how things are going with your business There may be a lot of reasons That your business is being held back It may be that your product or service isn't really clearly defined and the people you're talking to don't understand it It may be that you're not talking to the right people at all that there are people who are out there who would Love your product or service, but you're not talking to the right people And so we need to set some goals of if it's to get your product to find and actually in both of these cases And there's a lot of cases but let's talk about these two in both of these cases The answer the same as you've got to get out You've got to show it to a lot of people got to get their feedback you got to talk to a lot of people And so let's follow through on that. Let's try to create some goals, right? What are some of the ways we're reaching out to talk to people? How are we talking to people are we doing that through networking? Are we doing that through Facebook advertising? Are we doing that through print advertising? What are our marketing channels? How are we how are we putting ourselves out to the world and how are we getting information back from them? And so let's just follow through on the on the building our audience case or finding our audience case What are we doing? What do we do every day to build our audience? Are you cold-calling? Are you reaching out via social media platforms to people who might be your audience? What is it you're doing set a goal? I'm gonna reach out to five new people every day I'm gonna find five new people on LinkedIn if you're doing business to business gonna find five new people on LinkedIn And I'm gonna reach out to them with an email saying I've got this product or service I'd love to learn more about you. I'd love to see how we can help each other But it's very important You got to set those goals and I know I didn't do a good job making these really clear But in the Q&A we can talk about this or if you have a question we can help you work through setting a specific goal for you Third once you've got your goal set and you've heard me say this in just about every goals video We've ever talked about here. You've got to follow through and track them Right. Did I get up this morning? And did I spend my time and energy reaching out to five new people check? Check check check check that's five and then track how many of them responded and then track How many then set up a meeting after that and so now you're starting to build what's called the sales funnel I'm sure you hear about all that on the internet I'm not going to do that, but you've got to do what works for you You got to put your time and energy into making those goals following through on those goals and tracking those goals to see what's working and The reason you need to track those and see what's working is because you got to get rid of what's not working If you're doing print advertising if you're putting flyers on cars outside of your gym and nobody's coming back And nobody's reaching back out to you on that it might be time to let that go But what might be worth doing is going to a place where a lot of who you think your target audience is and just talking to them Explaining your product to them not trying to make a sale But getting their feedback on your product or service seeing if they'd be interested And it seems they know anybody be interested in that and follow through on it So just recapping first Don't worry about where you're supposed to be worry about where you are and Define success for you figure out what that what's what's enough to keep you interested in this day after day if the answer Is nothing it might be time to pack it up But I'm sure there's something in your business that keeps you interested every day So what's enough to keep me interested in this every day to set some honest goals Some real honest goals based on the state of your business right now is that I don't have enough revenue coming in I don't have enough clients. I don't have enough repeat clients Whatever it is set goals that reflect the most important things you need to do about your business If it's just bringing in revenue Just selling product set a goal to get out and sell as much as you possibly can reach out and connect with as many people as You possibly can in that case we talked about earlier in the video Follow through and track. That's the next piece follow through and track That'll help you decide what's working and what's not working because once you know what's working and what's not working Once you know who's enthusiastic about your product and who's not you can double down on those things spend more time with those people spend more time Doing those activities putting in your time and energy where it makes sense to you to hit your definition of success And that'll help you grow your business and you won't be asking what's holding you back. You'll be saying What do I know? How do I get some more people here to help me because we're going so fast? I hope this was helpful.

The following is a presentation of TFNN. Good morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN Friday morning, January 7th. We got non-farm payrolls numbers. You're looking at 199,000. Unemployment rate? How about 3.9%? Who had 3.9% a year ago for the unemployment rate ticking? On January 7th of 2022, but nonetheless, that's what we get. We got some wage increases in there as well. 0.6%. Month over month, beating the 0.4% number. You jump over to the markets. Excuse me, a little bit of negative action to kick things off. From 4700, the first spike in the S&Ps, you make it down to 4670 since then we spiked a bit. I'm going to go back to one-minute charts so you can really see the breakdown over about the last 37 minutes since we got that non-farm payroll number. You dive down to 4670 since then. We're right back to where we were at about 10-9 this morning. NASDAQ 100, some volatility on the growth sector in a big way. You're negative by 48 points right now. We've clawed back. You're talking about almost 100 points of the losses that we had. You were down to a low in the NASDAQ 100. A 15,624 were 90 points above that level. At 15,714, all things considered, we're only about 45 points off of where you were trading at, coming into that non-farm payrolls number. All the markets in the red, you got the Dow right now, now negative 35 points. Also catching a bit of a bounce. Dow, not too much action when you look at, even from high to low, not even 200 points. You actually spiked higher originally in the Dow. Russell, negative by one point right now above 2,200. How about Bitcoin? Watch out below, folks. There's some volatility. Wait, back it up. There's some volatility for you on Bitcoin from 42,600. Really remarkable that Bitcoin trades so well with the market now. The correlation between Bitcoin and the major market indices. Pretty remarkable to see on a consistent basis at this point. You're talking about under 42,000 now. You put Bitcoin on a daily. Pretty remarkable, right? I've been talking about for a while. Once you breach that 618, you gap below that level. Probably going to come back right to about 40,000. If you're looking for a buy point in Bitcoin, could be a point that you dabble a little bit. We were just trading at 70,000 less than two months ago. Coming just above those highs, we got back in April. You're trading 41,480 in Bitcoin right now. We jump over to Ethereum. Staying in the crypto sector, you're down to 3181. You see not quite back down to the lows we had in September, 2722. But nonetheless, you're talking about giving up $1,800 in the price of Ethereum. Crypto getting hurt with the market. Crude. There's your daily on crude. We back it up to a 15 minute to see the volatility. Crude trading a little bit lower this morning on that number for non-farm payrolls as well. Gold up about $2. Gold with some volatility in both directions this morning. We jumped in notes and bonds. And the slide continues to lower prices and higher yield right now before we get over there. You're talking about on the 10-year right now, negative by 6x to a price point of 12810 and checking out the yield right now on the 10-year, 1.76%. Folks, we're not in five trading days into 2022. And the 10-year already added one quarter of a full point. We were sitting at 1.5 to start off the week. We are sitting now. There's your 10-year. Okay. And there is a pretty magnificent move on five days, January 3rd. Pretty remarkable to back things up that we were sitting at 13011. You were down two full points. Exactly. Two full points. Remarkable move on the 10-year as the yields have risen from about 1.5 to 1.76% on the dot this morning. And with that, the markets continue to climb from the blow that we got this morning. Let's jump over to the headline number. US adds fewer jobs than forecast and the unemployment rate falls. 199,000, the increase in non-farm payrolls last month followed upward revisions in the prior two months. The unemployment rate, 3.9%. Labor force participation rate unchanged. Not many people coming back into the workforce, which is part of what they thought would happen. Latest unemployment numbers, not unemployment, suggest that despite still robust demand, the factors have kept a lid on hiring throughout the fall. You're talking about childcare. You're talking about the virus. You're talking about lack of the savings, not lack of that people have. It is persisting. 199,000 is the jobs number down there. Yeah, so market looking for at least an 80% chance that the Fed starts hooking in March. Check that out, right? Average hourly earnings. Here's where we talk about wages and inflation. A 0.6% in December. 4.7% from a year earlier. Both of those just above what economists were looking for. Last month's jobs gain, which capped to the biggest annual payrolls advance on record. Yeah, 450,000 was the number. The unemployment rate was projected to fall to 4.1%. When you break it down to where they were, tough one here for leisure and hospitality. The moderate advance in December, led by leisure and hospitality, but you're only talking about 53,000. I mean, we just got 80p private payrolls on Wednesday. They have big numbers across the board there. Not so much when you look at the non-farm payrolls. Professional and business service, employment rose while retail trade payrolls declined. Now what's interesting is when you talk about retail, okay, retail trade payrolls declined. Seasonal adjustments is a big part. Here we go. The report also includes routine revisions to the seasonally adjusted household survey data over the past five years. Okay, that's not. Seasonally adjusted retail data folks, because you're in the holiday season, you're making seasonal adjustments. They actually hired. Okay, but when you adjust for the season, they were actually decreases. That's where you get to tweak the numbers a bit. The consuthings, maybe that's pointing to the fact that this holiday season was not like other holiday seasons. You're getting a lot more online orders. You don't have to order as many, hire as many people for in-stores. You probably have to still hire people for warehouse and deliveries, speaking of Amazon in particular. But nonetheless, you see the market reaction. If anything, the wage data, 0.6% month over month unemployment data at 3.9%. I mean, what's the Fed waiting for, right? You have an unemployment rate at 3.9% and you have inflation at 0.6% on a month over month basis, folks. If you carry 0.6% over 12 months, you're talking about greater than 7% inflation. We're going to get CPI data next week. What are they looking for? They're looking for about 7% on the CPI front. All of that in mind, unemployment, under 4%, what's the Fed looking for for maximum employment? You're probably getting to that arena. So if you have maximum employment and you have an inflation that is still coming in hotter than expected, what's that mean? That means that the impetus is for the Fed to potentially hike faster. What is the risk when you look at is the risk that they're going to hike faster or is the risk that they're going to hike slower? We have an unemployment rate at 3.9% and we have inflation still running hot. We have wages running 0.6% month over month and we have CPI data that's supposed to come in at 7%. Add it all up, folks. Rate hikes are coming. The markets paying attention. The 10-year just added a quarter basis point in the span of five trading days to kick off 2022. The market not messing around to kick off the year, folks. It is going to be quite a transition from free money and stimulus aplenty to no stimulus and less free money. I mean, we're still going to be talking about a pretty accommodative interest rate coming off zero. But when you're literally used to zero, it is a different story and we're seeing that play out. Markets, though, not too freaked out. I think they kind of figured this out in terms of what was coming down the line with the Fed minutes. NASDAQ 100, negative by 38 points right now. You got the S&P's negative by four. We'll be coming right back, folks. We'll be talking to our... No, we don't get a chance to talk to Kevin Hicks today. That's too bad. We'll talk to him Tuesday. We talk to him Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. Still, check out Fast Market at 12 o'clock. Love that program. I'm sure they'll have a good program going on today. Stay tuned, folks.

We've got the markets clawing back the losses right now. We've got about 12 minutes to go until the opening bell and we might be green across the board by then. We've got the S&Ps now, negative by just one point. You're 16 points off the low this morning. NASDAQ 100 surging. You're talking about 125 points off the low, negative by just nine right now. The Dow, a little bit of a laggard, you're still negative by about 51 points right now. The Russell, negative by one. We jump over to the commodities. You got gold a little bit higher up $4 as well. Crude trading at $79.46 and we jump back to the all important notes and bonds and they're catching a little bit of a pop too. We were just at a yield of 1.76%, folks. You are now at a yield of 1.743. Two basis points in two minutes is quite a move in the 10 year. I'm exaggerating a bit, but you get the point. Jumping around to some of the bank stocks. Let's see how they are reacting this morning. We'll kick it off with Amazon. Amazon, now Amazon is a little bit of a different animal versus the growth companies like Microsoft. Apple is definitely its own animal at this point. You get into some of the software makers or the big time multiple growth companies. They have gotten punished in a big way over the last five trading days. Amazon, $32.76. You're basically flat on the session. I talked about Microsoft. They did a great discussion on Microsoft yesterday on fast market. Microsoft trading at $3.15. You were as low as $3.11. So you're going to open barely positive from Microsoft shares. Now, interesting, right? You got Microsoft up $1 from the close of yesterday. Still got the Maasdeck 100 and the negative. Let's jump over to Tesla. Tesla, you could say that's their own animal as well. Tesla up about $8 in the pre-market. Google shares alphabet. Basically flat so far this morning. We jumped to Meta shares. Meta quite a day yesterday to the upside for Facebook. Look at that acceleration before pulling back a bit to end the day. Facebook shares going to be in the positive by a bit as well. We jump around to some of the travel stocks. American Airlines barely in the positive this morning. You got Delta barely in the positive as well. The cruise ships. Yeah, Norwegian barely in the positive as well as they skip around. Let's jump around to some of the cannabis stocks, man, these stocks. How about a seven-handle on Canopy yesterday? A seven-handle, $7.96, man, these, the demise of these stocks, man, remarkable, did not believe that these would get below and I say these talking about Canopy in particular below $9 below the COVID lows. But sure enough, that's the case. Now you jump over, I mean market capitalized. No, they don't even have the company's market balance sheet because it's such a small profile company. Yeah, I would just stay away. Eventually, you may find a bit there. If you want some exposure to the cannabis sector, but you don't want to touch any of these equities, constellation. Quite a run this company has had. You pulled back a bit, constellation though, they have an interest in Canopy in a big way. I mean, look at these 3A2s and 618s folks, you got to love them. Put them on your radar. Last November, constellations trading at 160, you accelerate up to about 245, you trade back right to a 3A2, you skip around on that 3A2 from August, all the way to almost October, about a two-month basing period around that 3A2 period.  Now you've had a pullback this week with constellation. It was just, they just teamed up. What was it yesterday? Yeah, so they came out with their earnings, I believe. Yes, they came out with their earnings yesterday. So you pull back a bit, you're getting a little bit of a haircut if you're interested to get in there.  They have the one and only Corona beer. They also have Madello. They have Kim Crawford wine. It's a very solid company with some exposure to cannabis. Pulling back a bit yesterday, but nonetheless, quite a chart for constellation out there. All right, jumping around to what else we have going on. Let's jump a little bit to retail. Walmart, hold up pretty well during the demise of some of these companies. You check out Walmart. I've talked about it before. We do have some Walmart in my newsletter, Rocket Equities and Options. If you're taking a look at Walmart, I would keep an eye on the trendline that it's got going, $120. Bouncing off that trendline each time it reaches it. You're trading at $143. You're only $10 off the all-time highs for Walmart. We touched that level three times. Seems like that might be where this is heading. Walmart's a solid dividend company. I've talked about it many times as well. You can deal with the company with the market cap I think under 300, $397 billion still for Walmart. I talked about it on my show yesterday. If you're talking about capital preservation, you start getting into huge multiples of growth. That's where you can really get cut in big ways. If you look for capital preservation company like Walmart, you're dealing with strong dividend, you're dealing with decent multiples, and you're dealing with a company that does have an opportunity for growth, not quite a growth company, but you look at the fact that they are servicing $1 out of $4 for order online, pick up in store. There's all the speculation of a bank of Walmart. Anytime you have a financial relationship with many Americans, that many citizens of the world, there's opportunity for growth. Anytime that you're touching that many customers, even if it's on the lower income spectrum of the side, there's still opportunities because man, you talk about the bank of Walmart. One thing they keep talking about is that the people and customers that Walmart services most are underbanked in a big way.  The fees, when you do not have a bank sometimes add up exponentially, point being, you get the point. We're trading $10 off the all-time highest nice trend line there for Walmart now. I jumped to Walmart because it's really interesting the number of influences in this market. When you talk about rural America, the economy is rocking and hospitals are having to compete with the economy. It makes sense, but that is not what you wanted to see happen and right now, especially with spikes going on at hospitals, U.S. hospitals struggle to match Walmart pay as staff flees Omicron. Now I'll tell you, my experience folks, I have a fiance who's a respiratory therapist, not going to talk about a company, but man, they are making a lot of money, okay, and even as a nonprofit and some of the bonuses that were given out, some of the pay that's given out, some of the hardships they're having finding people, they could solve that problem with a little bit more money, that they are not quite pushing out. But nonetheless, they're struggling because the economy is rocking and special when you're going to rural hospitals serving older communities, they're at the greater risk, high demand for labor throughout the economy making it harder to find replacements for doctors, nurses, support staff who have been sidelined by the Omicron variant. Now doctors, they're always, but when you talk about other parts of the staff of the labor squeeze, openings and quits in healthcare, you got quits down here and you got openings, openings on the rise in a big way. You're talking about 1,800 openings on the rise with quits on the rise as well. And I don't blame them, folks. You know, you're sitting in the hospital and you're dealing with a fourth wave right now, the first wave, maybe the second wave, but when you're dealing with a fourth wave, very frustrating as far for the vaccine, folks. And you're seeing hospitals fill up with predominantly unvaccinated people. The life of a respiratory therapist, doctor, nurse, over the last pushing two years, pretty remarkable. But did not really imagine this, but yes, it is an influence. It makes sense. You have the chief executive of a 25-bed facility in rural Nebraska. He's monitoring patients on the floors himself as they are trying to fill gaps there in the employment of those hospitals as they're trying to compete with an economy that is just firing on all cylinders to say the least. All right, folks, we got the market. Pretty remarkable with what we just got. I referenced to Kevin Hanks yesterday. I said, Kevin, you know, even if you told me the numbers that we're going to get, it's almost hard sometimes to imagine how the market would react. Well, if you told me that we had an unemployment rate of 3.9%, we had wages increasing 0.6% month over month. I think yesterday it was 0.4%, right? And now, we're getting trade lower over the fact that Fed may hike quicker. Guess what, folks? It did it first, but we've clawed it back. Stay tuned, folks. We'll be right back for the open.

NASDAQ 100 was just in the green by just three points market basically closet all back down still slightly below where we were when we came into that non-farm payroll number but boy we got some volatility in both directions right now you talks about some volatility how about these gambling stocks? Now DraftKings quite a pop yesterday you trade for 23-21 you're up at 26 right now you're up 8-10% today you put this chart on a longer-term chart though and talk about a pullback from 75 bucks to $25 today you put this even further back for a five-year weekly yeah I guess that's when they go public they went public in April of 2020 you almost give it all back the full run to higher prices now the reason why I'm talking about DraftKings is because it is a big weekend in the world of gambling and it has to do with game on mobile sports betting can start in New York gamblers out there maybe outside of those lovely gamblers in Boston Massachusetts but yeah legal online sports betting coming just in time for the NFL playoffs gotta love that if you were in the gambling sector and they loved it yesterday on DraftKings a little bit higher today these companies man still quite a pullback from the expectations they had now DraftKings is a big one to analyze that's gonna have them yeah Penn National Gaming there you go now I bring them up because they are the owners of Barstool Sports but even this one you talk about some haircut folks I mean remarkable you are back to almost prior to the pandemic for this equity Penn goes from three bucks during the COVID those to 142 geez I hope if you had some of this equity folks you were taking some money off the table when you get a you can see though things are improving rapidly I imagine this is gonna be a rapidly growing business as it expands they're trying to get it done in Florida they almost got it done got overturned I believe by the judiciary saying that it was not quite legal and they might have a legitimate case I mean New Yorkers Floridians passed a constitutional amendment a couple years ago stating that any more gambling would have to be proved by the the whole state in a constitutional amendment or a state vote at least so there's a lot of technicalities nonetheless not quite happening in Florida yet point being it is coming though and you're seeing it coming in New York and gonna be wild to see I mean that must be pretty cool as somebody that's an investor a gambler folks if you're a short-term trader you are a gambler whether you want to recognize it or not you're gambling with a negative expectation I mean some of the biggest casinos in the world are gamblers they gamble every single day when they have customers that come sit at their tables the only thing is they're gambling on bets that have positive expectations and most people who walk into a casino are gambling with a negative expectation in everyone's mind not everyone's but in most people's mind gambling has a negative connotation of expected value as in they're gambling on games that in the long run have a negative return well thankfully that's not the case in the market if you're applying some trading principles that make sense nonetheless these stocks I started putting them on my radar because it's quite a pullback in New York they're gonna put up some big numbers and the market overall is heading in the right direction for these companies we jump back to DraftKings up 1.3% right now market down about 46 points right now nothing too dramatic when you look at the lows we had yesterday you're still more than 100 points off the low you had yesterday morning in the Nasdaq 100 all right jumping around other headlines I got up here to take a look at let's see what we're looking at GameStop yeah GameStop so GameStop is getting into crypto surprise surprise and the market loves it surprise surprise you're up 17.5% GameStop reports that the video game retailer will do division to focus on cryptocurrency partnerships and non-fungible tokens market says thank you sir may I have another we'll run that one up talk about a perfect combination right you got the ultimate meme stock GameStop and they're gonna try and get into the NFT crypto game I mean if the Wall Street Bets boys and girls don't love that over there I don't know what you love you're up 15% today but you've given back some of the games you were up to last night pulling back a bit to 150 162 on the open right now pretty remarkable that any CEO especially of a meme stock can come out and say hey we just started a new division we're gonna be getting into crypto and the market says yeah we love that so much I mean look at what's the the market cap for this company right now is 11.5 billion dollars they've got 76 million shares outstanding folks so they just added about 1.5 billion dollars in market cap 1.5 billion with a B in market cap off that simple announcement not sure that that one's gonna hold in terms of the value there but nonetheless T-Mobile they report their subscribers 844,000 for the quarter 2.9 million quite a number almost 3 million for the entire year 4th quarter numbers were below consensus though they were looking for 868 the market a little bit lower pre-market we jump over to T-Mobile as the beginning of 5G rages and you're down about 2.3 percent quite a pullback from 150 you run from 63 bucks at COVID you come into 2020 at 82 quite a pullback though and let's just see out of curiosity where we're dealing with here I mean you're coming back to some pretty substantial levels of a pullback when you lose almost 40 dollars off that equity almost at the 50 percent we did actually touch the exact 50 percent from the whole COVID run from 63 bucks up to 150 this market's slipping a little bit back to the indices you take a look at the S&P we're kind of a critical area on a weekly basis bumping up against the lower boundary line that we've been in since basically the COVID lows we put this back to a five-year daily we zoom in on the most recent action and you can see pretty critical level as we are at about within about 10 points of that channel line now gee you can see it's a liberal channel line folks because you look where we were in terms of December okay we had a channel line down to 45-20 so that's 80 points outside of that channel line but all things considered pretty well defined jump over to the Nasdaq 100 we'll jump to the cues and there's your channel line in the cues coming off the acceleration that began last year in late September really it began when we got the vaccine efficacy in November and you can see that we still have a little bit ways to go even though just reach the bottom of that channel line I mean you could trade to 376 in the cues and you're still trading that is just remarkably to the upside and we've bounced around on this channel on many times over the last two years almost a year and a half you could say to September right now though you got the cues down another $1.72 with this market trading to negative prices we back up to the futures and we've basically given up that whole acceleration we had we're at 15,679 right now let's jump to notes and bonds to see how they're trading still hold up relatively well they're holding on to that little pop that it had 90 this morning let's see how some of those fang stocks let's see how Apple in particular Apple shares giving it up a little bit as well Apple was up to 173 in change you just give up a buck 50 on Apple shares Microsoft's been particularly volatile Microsoft down about a 30% right now we jump to Amazon shares positive by a 30% right now Tesla trading down 810% right now let's see how Ford's trading quite a week for them up 1.2% the run continues with Apple's F-150s alright folks stay tuned we got the markets in negative territory Russell though how about that Russell

you can see the type of volatility right? we traded 15,780 you trade down 100 points and you trade back up almost 100 point soaks and that's in the span of about 5 to 10 minutes markets only been open for 12 minutes so far to keep things in context you get the Nasdaq 100 back in the green right now the Russell though catching quite a bit look at that acceleration in the Russell pre-market you're trading at 2192 right now 2212 in the Russell alright what else we got going on jumping over to discovery getting quite a pop today up $3 that's a 12.2% move you're higher pre-market you've accelerated into the open right now at 29 bucks you put this thing on a daily though my goodness quite a fall the Bill Huang saga really escalated this in March 78 bucks down to 40 since then though it's been a slow slide as well now what they did announce here and that was in May I believe was the merger between discovery and time Warner spinning off HBO for Warner media and so Bank of America out there upgrading discovery to a buy from a neutral which feels that discovery's upcoming merger with Warner media has the potential to create a global media powerhouse discovery added 3.8% yeah 3.8% how about 11.8% now for discovery you're bumping up against the highs that we had back in November right right to the tick almost you're talking about 28.98 how about 28.99 it gets over it by a penny you're trading at 28.72 yeah I mean just from an anecdotal perspective right I mean discovery let's see if they still have what they control here listed I mean an absolute plethora of brands in terms of what they have here yeah so the headline name of course Discovery Channel but then you got Food Network Animal Planet Investigation Discovery The Travel Channel Science and Motor Trend yeah and of course they have their apps and so forth as well yeah just pulling anything else just a plethora of brands and they're gonna combine that with HBO Time Warner to create their own company and that's gonna be happening soon coming down the pipeline I believe what they say in March that that's coming down the line yeah they just say upcoming merger so happening shortly that's pretty much it going down the line for specific equities let's see what else we got up here yeah this one I want to get to this one check this one out the number of Nasdaq stocks is down that are down 50% or more is almost at a record 40% 44 out of 10 Nasdaq stocks in the index have fallen by half from one year highs that is staggering if you ask people even people in the market now if you're studying studying market breath right I imagine you have some idea that there's been some real pullbacks in the in specific equities I've been talking about some of them the gambling stocks the zooms of the world the docuSigns of the world 40% of the index though my goodness investors are selling first figuring out the rest later roughly four in every 10 companies on the Nasdaq comp index have seen their market values cut in half from their 52 week highs while the majority of age members are mirrored in bear markets and what do we have though we have the Nasdaq 100 sitting right there record eyes when you look at the index I mean take a look already in the top 13% of all days since 1999 now this is pointing to okay percentage of stocks down 50% from a 52 week high you see the COVID spike that we had in there during the COVID spike you only had 60% we're at 40% and then you look at the composite index let's expand it to make it crystal clear you can't even see a pullback on the index meanwhile you got 40% I mean yeah you look at 2008-2009 that market just got pummeled 2000 got pummeled as well but you see pullbacks during those times alright even during COVID you see the pullback here there is no pullback that correlates to the spike here at all even the spike in 2016 okay there's your pullback not as substantial as some of the pullbacks we've received but boy if you start seeing some of these big tech companies faltering and I'm not saying you are but if you're trading the Nasdaq 100 you better be keeping your eye on Apple Microsoft Google Facebook Tesla Netflix all the likes of it I mean let's just jump over to the market watch and jump over to the Nasdaq 100 the big names are the ones you gotta watch folks Microsoft Apple Google Facebook those are the ones that have been carrying the market and really remarkable that Amazon just been in a consolidation for the better part of a while meanwhile the other companies indeed Apple $2.83 trillion they're $170 billion off 3 trillion already this market I keep saying it we got a two way market and a big way folks you're seeing it play out this morning Nasdaq 100 right back up to where we were at 7 this morning $15,783 I mean you have popped 150 points in the Nasdaq 100 you got the Nasdaq 100 positive you have the S&Ps now a solid 20 points off of the lows you had you're actually above where we came into the non-farm payrolls on the S&Ps let's see how we're doing on commodities crude gives it up a little bit to $79.20 but that's been uncoordinated gold turning in about $17.91 and notes and bonds we're tracing a bit you're talking about a yield right now we're probably pushing $1.75 yeah you're talking about a yield $1.75 so close to 1.76% over in Europe right now you get the Dax down about a half a percent FTSE positive by two tenths percent we jump over to the VIX this morning volatility index back under 20 $19.39 quite the spike on Wednesday got an elevated number on Thursday early on the sell-off to $2106 trading at $19.39 all things considered though when you look at the recent spikes trading in on the action for the run that we have had in the markets this week folks that does not even stand out on the VIX which is remarkable if you think this is a worst-case scenario keep your eye on the fact that the VIX has not even spiked okay you want to spike you go back to November 29 when the market sold off post Thanksgiving or the first Omicron fairs fears even December 20 if you got a spike to $27.50 we put this 20 days that's what a spike looks like in the market folks not this which is remarkable now the important thing to remember about the VIX is the VIX is predicated off the S&P it is not predicated off the Nasdaq 100 okay it's predicated off the S&P we're sitting about a hundred points from all time highs in the S&P we're basically just back to prices we were trading at December 22 in the S&P all things considered you're up six points today in the session but if you're looking it's a varying degree not too bad getting a 1931 handle in the S&P is considering what has happened this week so far and I'll leave it at that Dow only major index in the red right now negative by 35 points the Dow's been quite an acceleration to the upside I mean you look it up I just said that the market's back to basically December 22 prices for the S&P while the Dow's still about 700 points above that level so you see the rotation that played out and then you look at the S&P in 400 points below so comparing where we are to December 22 it's an arbitrary day but you trade it higher then you trade it lower you have the S&P is basically at that price level you have the Dow trading 600 points above that price level and you have the NASDAQ 100 trading about 400 points below that level the divergence the rotation you can't deny it folks you jump over to some of the companies zoom shares getting a little bit of a pop today reprieve we'll jump around some of those growth companies take a look at Roku as well when we come back stay tuned folks sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument you have to practice sure

It's not going in. I don't care how much you try. Try it. I'm not going to say anything. What? Nothing. You're saying something about going in? Yeah! If you ate some Corbin and Rick and you follow us on Instagram and Twitter and Instagram and Twitter and Instagram and Twitter Come on. Juicy contest. It's incredibly filled with pus. Does that qualify as juice? It's body juice. I wouldn't call that a juice. That's more like custard. Oh! But today... We are watching a... say this for me. Sajin Singh Rangroot. I think it's called Rangroot. It could be the whole thing. But it's a Punjabi film. Cool. It's a pretty big one. It came out a year ago. A year ago-ish. A year and a half-ish. But I don't think we've wrecked it too many. If any Punjabi trailers? No. But this was supposed to be a pretty big one. With English subs? Yeah, English subs, of course. But let's just get into it because I have no idea what it's about. Cool. I think it's about Sikhs. The Sikhs. Yes. Which we've learned the proper pronunciation is Sikh. Even though we've always said Sikh. And everybody in America calls it Sikh. But it wouldn't be the first time America was wrong. Here we go! It's pretty beautiful. I couldn't see the whole night. I'd close my eyes and look at the stars. Take a breath of Ryan, put your sticks.  Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. It's got to be beautiful shots. Yeah, it had to be stylistic wise, one of the prettiest trailers we've seen. You said it at the very outset in regard to, you know, you immediately said it was saving Private Ryan, which guys, I mean that is cinematically as far as the aesthetic value of what Steven Spielberg can create, that's about as good as you can get when you create something cinematically as what you see in some of the war depictions, many people consider saving Private Ryan to be if not the one of the greatest war films ever made, that his recreation of D-Day, actually the stories of World War II vets who were there, it actually sent some back to therapy, because it triggered so much. One vet actually said the only thing missing was the smell for him, it was that, that sentence right there, sincerely, to try to think of what it smelled like. This looks as beautiful, compelling and well done at every level as any trailer we've ever seen. This just looks spectacular. A Sikh serving in the British Indian Army is deported to Europe, no, deputed, he's sent to Europe to fight in World War I. That's great because most of the World War stories we get are usually from an American person. It's World War II and it's an American perspective. Usually, or it's a Brit perspective, but mostly it's an American perspective, because we're the heroes of course, you tell yourself from your point of view so that makes sense. Until they started telling films about Vietnam thankfully, and then they started to, Oliver Stone was really one of the first to throw up the realities of what was going on. I would love, that was a joke by the way, for those of you who don't get sarcasm. But to see somebody else's perspective of a war, I think it's very interesting. Especially since this is a true story, and they were still under British rule as well. Yes, they were under British rule.  We understand what that means now in a way we never would have understood. It is, he is a Buddha punjab. It is the same guy, absolutely because he recognized that. He must actually be sick. Sick. Yeah, that and at the very least, he's punjabi. Yeah, or maybe not, it could just be he wanted to do this film because it was a great film and cast and he speaks multiple languages. Question, question, question, my ignorance.  So if he's sick, every single role he has, he will have it on, correct? I would venture, that would be my guess, I don't know that definitively, that's what I imagine that's the case. I would like to know what is the case and how do they normally get sick actors to play seeks or does it just, I mean I know, Akshay Kumar. Akshay is not, he's not, no. But do people that are sick, is this guy sick, does he always play? And that's a great point because as an actor, but you know, if he has a religious perspective he has to wear it all the time. Right, each character has to fit that. So I would like to know. Yeah, and I, obviously I don't think a sick would have a problem with a non-sick portraying them because I didn't hear any negativity at all about the fact that Akshay, in fact all I heard from everyone was how right it was to cast someone like Akshay to portray that and let it be a national known story that's portraying, somebody to portray a big hero. But yeah, I'd love to know that for an actor who is sick, I would assume they have every role they play is sick because they're not going to take the terminal. That's what I would think, correct? So let me know, please, because it's just my ignorance and my wanting to know. But so I thought it's a very interesting story and I love us that we have now known the history of Sikhs or Sikhs, or I'm sorry, I still don't know. I believe Sikh is singular. Is it Sikh when you say it plurally, or is it still Sikh with an S at the end and a 6? I like that we know that they're like a warrior. Right. And we know idea that they were before, like before this channel, we had no idea. We just thought it was a very peaceful religion. Exactly. All I ever thought about. Yeah. Sikhs. In fact, probably put the more into the jade category in terms of peaceful, vegetarian, everybody gets along with each other and I may be, jadeism I may even be ignorant about in that regard as well. But yeah, when we learn from that film with Akshay, the warrior heritage. If you tell us this is good, I will see this quickly. Quickly, quickly, quickly. Because 220 for a war film, that's actually pretty sure. Yeah, that's actually a pretty bright run. One time. But I would see this in a heartbeat just because it looks beautiful. The acting looks great outside of the Brit. That's a true story. I want to know this story. The Brit made me mad right when he came on screen. Of course. Did you guys even know how to use a gun? No! God, it makes me so upset. I want to know are there, there's got to be, the first British role we saw where there was a level of at least empathy and sympathy combined was in Bangarassanti. That guy who as he was torturing the heroes was journaling and realizing that these were different men and they broke any stereotype he had about them and he actually was finding himself admiring them. My question would be are there films, whether they're a military film that would be preferable for me, where there are, another one would be in Laganne, the girl, the English girl, she really, she fell in love with Amir Khan's character and had a care for his people. How many films do you have that portray a Brit as actually being an advocate and a hero and a friend to Indians? Because for the most part, because that's the way history teaches it, is that they really haven't been friendly and friends, they have been quite the opposite. They weren't very friendly to the Indians to say the understatement of the year. And even still, I would love to know, do you have any Englishmen and any British people that are actually heroes of India? Probably not. There's got to be at least one who, most people, there might be some, obviously there's some nice people of course in that whole thing, but usually especially from the perspective of the telling it from the Indians perspective, they're usually just going to heighten the Indian or the, they're not going to, like it's, I think it would be the same problem like let's say like in Hollywood when you tell slavery stories and then there's always a white hero. Yeah.  So I think that's the thing, it's like, you'd have much more rather tell the story than people that were actually. Of course. Of course they would rather tell that story. I don't know. I just don't know. I just don't know if there are, if there are actual historical figures throughout India. A couple. Yeah. But that would be considered heroes to India. I don't know that there'd be, we know, we know it's not Winston Churchill. That's. We, we don't, we know that. So funny that my vision of him has totally changed. Yeah. Well, I knew before that. I didn't know. I didn't know any of the battle. I just learned what the American history tells me is that he's, he's good and he's one of the greatest people really ever. Yeah. No, I didn't know about what he did in regard to India. What I did know was things he did in World War II and how he and like General Patton did not like the relationship that was going on with Russia. Patton warned America and everybody else about don't partner with the Russians. Be careful with that and things that Churchill allowed in order to further Britain's interests. Yeah. He was, he was great for Britain. And in all honesty, we got to admit the West, yeah, but you know, we, we turned a blind eye to a lot of stuff because it benefited us. Yeah. Yeah. It's America. And we still do sometimes. You don't like. But yes, this film of going back to the film, it looks amazing. I hope it's as good as it looks. So please, I'm hoping all the comments are, yeah, it was great, it was, it was crap. Yeah.


Now let's look at magnetic forces, particularly the right hand rule. And the right hand rule is used to find the direction for the B force. And to do this, you have to use your right hand, but different parts of your hand represent different quantities. So your thumb represents the velocity, your fingers represent the magnetic field, and your palm represents then the direction of the force. And that would be the force on a positive charge. If you happen to have a negative charge, well, that throws the force in the opposite direction, which would be like the back of your hand. Now here's a cartoon example. In this particular example, they're showing the velocity, again lined with your thumb, to the right. The magnetic field is with your fingers pointed up towards the top of your page. And then in that case, the palm is out of the page. Now it's very important to keep your hand nice and stiff like this with the fingers pointing straight up, not in any other direction. When we start describing directions, you're going to often see some standard direction descriptions. For example, right and left. Well, that's going to show us horizontally if we're moving back or forth across the paper. When you see just up or down, up represents towards the top of your page, and down represents towards the bottom of the page.  The other directions we have, you've got to start thinking three-dimensionally, because it's into and out of the page.  Out of the page would come out of the page towards your body. Here's an example with a hand. Take just a moment here and see if you can figure out which quantities are in which directions. Well, we start with velocity, and that's represented by your thumb. So this one is showing you velocity upwards. Then you've got your magnetic field, which is represented by your fingers. And so those are pointed to the right in this case. So which direction is your force? That goes with the palm of your hand, and that would be then pushing into the screen. Now note, when you actually start trying to align your hand, it's generally easier to align your fingers with the B field first, and then rotate your hand around your wrist, keeping your fingers in the same direction, until your thumb is aligned with the velocity. Now in this next set of slides here, I've got some videos where it shows someone placing their hand in various different positions. It's a good idea if you sort of practice along. It's kind of quick, so you might need to re-rind and re-watch parts of the video. Did you get all of those? Remember, the person is bringing their hand in, aligning the fingers with the B field first, and then rotating the hand to align the thumb with the velocity. You'll need more practice with the right hand rule, but this is a good introduction to it.


from Galvanize, San Francisco, extracting signal from the noise. It's theCUBE, covering the Apache Spark community event brought to you by IBM. Now your hosts, John Furry and George Gilbert. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are here live in San Francisco for a special presentation of Silicon Angles theCUBE with IBM's big data announcement around the Spark community. I'm John Furry with Biggie Wanna Ask, George Gilbert. Our next guest, Harry Freiman, Vice President of Portfolio Marketing and IBM Analytics. Welcome back to theCUBE, great to see you here in San Francisco at the Galvanize workspace incubator, whatever they're calling it, but it's developers everywhere. I know, it's the first time I think we've even spoken in the city where I live. It's kind of nice, no travel. And we're always in Vegas. We've had some great conversations over the past year or so on theCUBE about analytics at IBM events. Something different at IBM right now. You guys are in the community, in the trenches, here in San Francisco where all the action has got Berkeley right across the street as part of this announcement. IBM's huge commitment to Spark, which is now opening up to the world seeing what's under the hood of all this magic called big data, obviously Hadoop. Spark, a lot of stuff going on. Take us through what that means from your perspective. Yeah, we always talked about analytics being in the hands of IT, right? And the business being delivered capabilities from the IT world. And obviously we've seen a shift there where the business is getting involved in self sourcing their own data and their own analytics. Well there was a whole community that really we feel we can reach and be engaged with and that's the community of the developers, the data scientists, the data engineers, the people who are coding stuff and coding insight into applications. So this is really all about the promise we've always had which is let's get analytics into the hands of as many people as we can and get some value out of the data we have. The other news I want to get your thoughts on here because again we've talked about this before is we've always said, and Dave and I have always talked about this on theCUBE, pedal faster. The industry wants to go faster at Hadoop Summit last week that Hortonworks put on. There was a huge packed house on all the Spark summits, all the Spark sessions I mean, leading up to Spark Summit. So there's an aroma of innovation around Spark. Okay, that's because of the engine and the data science push. Does this make it go faster and what specific things can you point to underlying use cases that make the big data and this engine fuel faster innovation? Yeah, I think there's a huge appetite for going faster and getting to outcome. It's no longer just a dashboard for evidence. It's actually gonna be about getting to outcome and that's where Spark can help. So when we look at the use cases we really see I guess three types of DNA of a use case if you will. One is highly interactive analysis on very large data sets so it's got great speed and performance there. Another reason is when you're running very compute intensive algorithms across large data sets, so Spark is great there too. And then I think as you were speaking with Joel in the prior interview about getting that insight to drive applications, processes, the things all around us and that's really where Spark can have a great role. The beautiful thing I want to share with you is observation the last week was we had users and big companies tell us they don't really care about the big vendors versus open source. At the end of the day they like the fact that everything vectors into an open solution where there's choice and no lock-in. Lock-in now is the contribution. So I want to get your thoughts of how you guys are collaborating from a product portfolio into the open source world because now you guys have to differentiate, you guys have to make money. It's not like you're just gonna give away free candy to the kids if you will or in this case system ML kickstart this revolution. So you guys have to make money so you have to integrate your stuff and differentiate. So how does that all work? Explain how that, what's in it for IBM too. Yeah, yeah, so we talk about Spark is really providing the analytics operating system as with all operating systems it's there for a purpose which is to be a foundation on top of which things can be built, value can be built. So we're looking to integrate Spark into our technology so we can build Spark into the core of the analytics platform as well as into our IBM commerce solutions. And so we see the tools and the solutions that we can build can have the value of having Spark inside them and Spark integrated into them. Talk about Blue Mix, because Blue Mix is kind of like powered in here it's subtext of the main announcement and it's in the main announcement. So the IBM will offer Spark as a cloud service on IBM Blue Mix to make it possible for app developers to quickly load data, model it, derive predictive artifact to use in their app. Okay, what does that mean? Does that mean Blue Mix is catching up to Amazon now with this or is it, because Amazon has a lot of the stuff built into the cloud so what's the Blue Mix angle on this? Obviously DevOps and analytics are like a really beautiful combination right now. Yeah, yeah, so not many people are either aware of Blue Mix or the power of what we have up there. So we have a whole range of data and analytics services out on Blue Mix which is our developer cloud. So any developer can go out there, use one or many of those services in combination and we're looking to have Apache, Spark's a service up on Blue Mix so people can mix and match those services together to build what they need. Is it free? It is available. Well it's actually closed beta now, seem to be open beta and then people can use it for free, try it out, yeah. So those of developers are you guys gonna offer Blue Mix for the developers? Mm-hmm, that's it. That's the main for the service, not like to end users yet. Yeah, exactly and then I always get the questions, you know, it's almost like we want to have a choice either or. It's either Spark or Hadoop, it's either open source or it's a tool and I always think there's an and in there. You can use them both together and that's really what we're doing when we integrate Spark with our platform. I think you're being politically correct when you say that, we were calling it out last week at Hadoop Summit. There is a world past Hadoop, Hadoop is gonna grow and continue to be important. There's no dissing Hadoop, and Hadoop is mainstream. It's got some work to do, DevOps could fit in there but this is gonna be a huge growth in Hadoop but that's not the only game in town. Exactly. There's other stuff. Exactly, it's like when people tell me that old data warehouse that's so 20 years ago and actually I remember building data warehouses and if you look at the renewal that's happening with data warehousing, there's still data stores that need to serve a purpose. I need to store history, I need to be able to run analytics on it, I need to be able to reconcile data sources together. You just named a data warehouse but you call it a data lake, a data repository. Yeah, I mean Joel basically called out the trend we'll see with millennials is that the data warehouse world, I mean when I got my degree in database back in the 80s just like you weren't telling everyone, hey I'm a database guy, like rah, rah. No, today you're a rock star because the data is so important, the developers that are working on data, it's exciting, right, it's energizing. Versus the old days of run the TPS report, these office space line there. So that's the old world, right? That's kind of like what it was, that's boring and slow. Spark kind of brings that energy. You seeing the same thing? I mean I agree with the office space comment but I mean Joel kind of pointed it out. Oh yeah, it's tremendously exciting. I think I overheard a partner of ours go, there'll never be a poor mathematician again because now the world of data scientists has come along and there's actually an appetite and a desire to have people that understand the logic, understand the maths that's gonna take to find the value in the data and so now data scientists are at a premium and there's not gonna be any poor mathematicians anymore. I wanna go back to a comment you made about the DNA of the use cases. So you're talking, when IBM is selling into the organization with the analytics solutions, tell us the roles of the people you're selling to and how it's different now that Spark is part of the solution, even if they don't see it. Does that mean you get time to value faster or does that mean the application is more effective because it can get insight to the point of interaction faster? What does that look like? Oh yeah, sure, so we have a very broad portfolio. So we see Spark as enabling that developer data engineer, data scientist to rapidly build insight out of data and deploy it out into applications like the internet of things and so we really see it as providing the Swiss army knife for that group of people, self-sufficient builders. For enterprise IT, it's gonna be part of their hybrid architecture. I think we always thought hybrid is a word only reserved for cloud but there's hybrid data architectures and enterprise IT has to look to mix open source technologies with the existing standards they have internally. And then for solutions, you mentioned getting time to value for solutions, well if Spark can deliver better insight from the algorithms, it can deliver it faster then actual industry solutions will benefit from that as we talk to the line of business side of the house. So it's both building the solutions faster and within the solution, getting the time to insight faster as well? Yeah, so for example in our IBM Open Platform with Apache Hadoop, that's our free for production use Hadoop distribution that has the Spark project in it so people can play with Spark right there with Hadoop. So I got to ask you about the San Francisco office and how that relates to some of the things you guys are going to be doing in marketing. You and I spoke a couple of months ago like you guys are going heavy into big data in the industry now I see how that all played out. What's next? What else is on to be on the ground and what target audience of developers you guys specifically targeting? Is it the DevOps guy? Is it the app developer? Is it a couple targets? Is it the new people coming in that want to learn and the millennials? Can you share some of that data? Oh sure, so I actually will use a phrase from Steve Law in his book Dataism which he called them dopes which is a great term for the data oriented people. So we're looking for the particular developers that are data savvy. They want to deliver insights so we're really targeting the data scientists, the application developer that's looking to build more data sophisticated data based content into the application so that particular audience and then at our San Francisco office I'm delighted that we're really building out the team there who are focused on understanding Spark, innovating and contributing to the core of Spark and then working with clients that come in on realizing or imagining the solutions that are possible with Spark. So I got to ask about the Databricks relationship. Why Databricks? And they obviously announced today their availability, their GA, general availability of the cloud platform. Yeah, but not everyone's in cloud. I mean, everyone still has on premise. Is there a distinction between on premise and cloud? How does that work? I mean, you guys, how do you reconcile that question? So Databricks is just a great partner to have. We'll see they have the inventors there, the great contributions out of that company. They're really driving the community to understand the value of Spark and to use Spark. So they're a great partner to have and we see the relationship is actually growing from here. As Joel said, we're right at the start right now in our journey and it will only increase and we see them as a partner in crime to get out to the million data scientists and data engineers that we really feel and needed to fuel the world with insight. So they will be partnering with us in all aspects from the technology, the community, as well as the skills in the marketplace. So what about the visualization market? How is that going to change this? Because this seems to be really the holy grail with Spark, there's so much speed coming in. The visualization will probably be a big impact on that. You see rising tide certainly on visualization. Well yes, I know people will say that the time of another dashboard in the world is past a spy and I think dashboards serve a great purpose which is when people want to see the data and look at evidence but as we all know, unless you take that evidence to action, it's not really useful, it's interesting but it's not really providing benefit. So the visualizations that we can do on big data are just so diverse that we believe there'll be actually new visualizations happening. Maybe we'll still have a dashboard but there'll be new types of visualizations because the human eye can't sift through all that masses of data unless we help them. Is that the end goal of Spark? I don't think so. The end goal of Spark is to put the analytics into the processes, into the applications and actually drive applications based on the analytics, not based on rules or pre-programmed, pre-configured logic. So I had a tweet last night, it said this is a real big move from IBM's upping their game, looking good, power move with a capital P, kind of teasing out where this end-to-end thing goes as you look at it, you're starting out with machine learning. I'm going to ask Rob Thomas these questions so I wouldn't go deep with him on this whole architecture but you're really just starting seeds of being planted with ML. The machine learning with developers, getting some of the tooling, you're bringing a big shortcut for developers with the IP you guys are donating into the community but that's not the end game, that's just the beginning of a journey. When you get to it, the next evolution is going to be in processor analytics, in my mind, I'm just connecting the dots and not speaking for IBM. So that means the power systems and the processors. Yeah, power systems, systems Z, yeah. I mean, am I kind of like going on the right dot connecting there? I mean, is that kind of where you see it happening? Yeah, we want to make sure when the data is so big you can't move it to the analytics, you got to move the analytics to the data and that's why we have such a healthy business on system Z with operational analytics. So where people have the majority of their data residing on a system Z box, we want to place the analytics there so that they can get a reward from gaining insight and putting that insight into the operational apps that happen to be running even on system Z. That's correct, I'm just tweeting this out, that was a good one, bring the analytics to the data. And again, Hadoop has the same philosophy, bring the processing power to the data and vice versa. So going next, so for the CIO out there, what's, they're going to be like, wow, this is kind of a move at a left field for IBM, what's this mean? I mean, is it, how relevant, explain to that kind of conversation this curiosity now that you guys have kind of created in global landscape, which is why? Well the, if we go back to the theory that it's not either or, and that hybrid is available to data architectures as the word as much as it is to cloud or to environments, the CIO of today faces ever increasing heterogeneity that they have to deal with. And it's the architecture that can be put in place that leverages cloud and on premise, leverages bespoke or specific tools and solutions as well as open source. It's those CIOs that manage to get to the perfect blend of all those technologies for their business that will really get the return. I really do believe it is not a, either or suckers choice anymore. It is a matter of using open source where we can benefit and using the tools and the solutions together with them to get to the outcome. Okay, great. Final comment I'll give you for the closing statement here is what does it mean for the people out there? This whole San Francisco vibe, Spark Summit, what's the big story going on at Spark Summit besides the IBM announcement? What's orbiting around this, this gravity that you guys have created? Well, having lived in San Francisco now for 20 odd years, showing my age here, I really feel it's a melting pot of artists and scientists. So the tech industry as well as all the creative people that live in San Francisco. So if anything, Spark bringing together the data engineers, the data scientists are going to bring together the art of storytelling with a science of data. And that's what it's called and that's why it's San Francisco. Yeah, and I tell you, it's a really unique place and it's booming and this is where the action is. Obviously Berkeley's right there. I think I stand for not the leaf stand from the shadow of Berkeley even though the Amplabs in Berkeley. Stanford's still important, don't you think? Yeah, it's only a short drive away. It's my town, Palo Alto. Harriet, thanks for coming back on theCUBE here, special presentation with IBM's community event. We're at Galvanize, which is a incubator, work shared workspace, a lot of startups here, a lot of developers, downtown San Francisco, we are here live for the Spark Summit. We'll be covering all day today and tomorrow this theCUBE. We'll be right back after this short break.


The common advice that we hear is like, just turn your passion into your career. And honestly, it's great when that works, and it's a wonderful success story when you can do that. But for many of us, we need to pay the bills. We need a roof over our head and food. It's like, people need to be able to pay the rent number one. Number two, you don't actually have creative emotional freedom if you're worried about paying the rent or if you're worried about what might happen. You're not gonna be as creative as you otherwise would. You need to be able to have open space in your head. So like mapping out the plan B, mapping out the safety net, mapping out all of that is as much a part of the process as the creativity itself.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebrakes.com, coming at you with the brand new 2021 Topps Museum Baseball Six Box Half Case. Pick your team number one from jaspyscasebrakes.com. All card ship, I think everyone's familiar with the museum, a lot of great stuff here. Brakes one and two will be from the same case and we can see the case on the top camera here. Let me turn on my main camera and there we are. Very big thank you to everybody here who got in to pick your team number one. Thanks everyone for making this happen and let's see what we got in here. There's this 2021 museum on here, this open. And let's see which six, it's a 12 box case, let's see which six we're going to do. So we'll select a die, we'll select that one right there and we'll roll it and we'll go one two three for the left side, four five six for the right side and it's three. So it's one two three for the left side. This side we will do next time, pick your team two. So we'll put those, it's kind of hard to see the black against the black, but X is on there so we know they were from the same case. James, how much, what do these boxes go for? We have them on our personal brake site for 369.99. Now I would encourage everybody to get in early and often because once we sell out of this and next time we get another batch of this, the price may very well go up. So it's probably probably a good idea to get in early and often. Yeah, it's not a bad price at all, especially considering what you can get out of this museum collection. Good luck. So there's usually the hit on the very bottom right there. All right, so there should be just one, let's see if we can collect all the base cards here. That's a hit right there. There we go. Now remember all a card ship. So we're getting all these cards, the bronze frames. There's a numbered Manny Machado. These cards look really nice. Museum's always a really sharp looking product. All right, our first hit behind Fernando Tatis Jr.  Three out of ten. Nice start for the Padres, Brian Peoples. Behind the canvas reproduction card of Ernie Banks. It's dual relic and autograph Kyle Hendricks. That'll be for Jonathan and his Cubs 240 out of 289. Behind Dylan Carlson is a Andres Galaraga. 229 out of 299 for Colorado archival autographs. The big cat as they call them. Aaron with the Rockies. Going to 75, going 100. Nice silver ink autograph. And behind the Randy Johnson is a quad relic, Alex Regman. 17 out of 25. Primary pieces. And that'll be for Yuan and the Astros. Nice little start. Next box, next four mini boxes. Van Leeuwen and Kraft debuting mac and cheese flavored ice cream. Interesting. Snag all the base cards right off the top. And sometimes those sketch cards right here, there could be one of one opportunities there as well. A couple sketch cards, not reproductions. There's Luis Robert to 150. And that'll be for Chicago, Jonathan. Sorry, different Chicago Josh with that. And behind George Brett is four Braves. Ronald Acuna Jr. Ozzy Alves. Freddie Freeman, Dan V. Swanson. Pretty good quartet right there. 69 out of 99. Keishon with the Braves. We've got archival autographs. 193 out of 300. Silver ink autograph, Brandon Lau. It's Philip with the Tampa Bay Rays. I know, I feel bad for Acuna too. Did his ACL, done for the season. For Ronald Acuna Jr. It's Joey Bart. Two color, triple relic and autograph. San Francisco Giants, my rivals. Louis or Louis with my rivals, the Giants. 98 out of 249. And behind Cal Ripken, reproduction is Haystress Lazardo, three color patch. 31 out of 35. Oakland A's, Emma with the athletics. Meaningful material. Next box. Thankfully, Acuna Jr. is still pretty young, right?  So what, ACL injuries. Is that about 12 calendar months? Maybe a little bit earlier for baseball players. Mostly non-contact, right? So maybe if Braves are lucky, they'll get him back by the beginning of next season. Next box. Looks like our first redemption of the day. And Kawhi Leonard, also with an ACL issue. There's Alec Baum. And Kawhi Leonard got a... There's Acuna Jr. Alright, there's Alec Baum. And now there's the Mount Castle reproduction card and a dual relic and autograph Keston here up. For the Brew Crew. That's going to be David and the Brewers. Last spot mojo. Strikes again. 70% of the time. They say last spot mojo hits 100% of the time. 168 out of 271. Behind Johnny Bench is Julio Urius. 17 out of 35. He's going to have a great season. Two color patch for the Dodgers. All over Soria with the Dodgers. Nechado reveals a quad relic. Aaron Nola. 14 out of 99. Primary pieces. Behind his teammate, Andrew McCutchen. Congratulations, someone is due to receive a framed autograph. Silver frame. Of... So we'll see. Team and name. N. New York. It's a New York team. NEW. H. The name. It's New York. It's Hideki Matsui, New York Yankees. Silver frame going to Matthew F. and the Bronx Bombers. Nice. Halfway through this half case break. Let's just pick the team one. Yeah, there's FSE. Yeah, Godzilla indeed. Pick your team two. Where are we at with Pick your team two? The second half of this case. Five teams left. We've got Brewers, Mets, A's, Mariners, and Rays. Simple as that. So not a lot of teams left and certainly not the most expensive teams are actually off the board. So we should be able to do another one. The second half of this shortly. We'll go through some more orders after this. Alright, good luck everybody. See what's on this side. Right, you're right Rebel. 30 out of 50. Those frames are usually one per case. It's one of the unique things about museum collection. They've got a one per case frame. There's Blake Snell to 50 for the Padres. There's reproduction of Babe, the Babe Ruth. And another cub autograph, dual relic and autograph, Nico Horner for Jonathan and the Cubbies. 128 out of 271. We've got a archival autograph, Silver Ink, Spencer Howard. 42 out of 200. Rookie Auto for the Phillies, Josh Proust. Behind Nolan Ryan is a Chris Bryant quad relic. 64 out of 99. Primary pieces. Where does he end up? Trading deadline at the end of the month. Another one for Jonathan. And behind Jorge Soler is a meaningful material. It's Clayton Kershaw, 18 out of 50. Dealing with a bit of a left forearm injury, but hopefully he'll be back soon. Paul, do you think Cubs are going to pony up and sign them all? Well, I don't know if it's about money for Chris Bryant, unless he's repaired the relationship with the front office. And besides, I mean, I suppose they could sign them all, but that would be such a Cub's thing to do to not address their needs. Which is starting pitching. That has been the thing that has hurt them the most. They've got young offensive minded players coming up the ranks, but if they don't shore up that pitching rotation, it's not going to make a difference who they have hitting. Smart play would be to trade Chris Bryant and try to get some assets back for them. And then you can still go ahead and try to sign them again in the offseason, but there's no reason to extend them now. So I suppose there could be a trade and then re-sign with the team, but the smart play for that front office is to try to get some assets back for guys like, especially Chris Bryant. Maybe even Rizzo, too. But Cubs fans saw the future in that MLB All-Star or in the Futures game. Brendan Davis, that's what the future is right there. There's Trey Turner. Yeah, buy as you might keep, Josh. Just do his defense. But yeah, you're not counting on him for offense. I said this at the beginning of the season. There's more Cubs right here, Wilson Contreras. So I said about the Cubs early this season is that they need to just rebuild and replenish the farm system. 93 out of 199. There's Mike Soroka, Silver Inc. autograph. Nice big, bold autograph for Mike. I like that. It's going to go to Keishan and the Braves. Behind Garrett Cole is Ronsanto, 7 out of 10. Nice. Primary piece legends. Game used pieces of his lumber, Jonathan. That's pretty good. Old Cubs legend Ronsanto. And then behind Miguel Cabrera is a Silver Inc. autograph. Another old school guy here, Cecil Fielder. 44 out of 300. And that'll be for Jeffrey Mason and the Detroit Tigers. Final box. Pick your team one. Pick your team two. Four teams to go. So we'll go through a bunch of orders after this. This sold out last night, so this kind of warms us up. Gets us started for the day. And we'll go through about 40 more orders and then we'll see what else we can get lined up. See what else is sold out and we'll add it to the schedule. I know a couple things are sold out already so we'll get those added to the schedule. It's kind of a thicker pack on the bottom here. What's down there? It's a book, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, that's all we have, X-Line. Get it before it's gone. Ty Cobb to 99 for Detroit. Mookie Betts for the Dodgers to 150. Yeah, Jeff likes that Cecil Fielder autograph. And there's Cabrion Hayes. 258 out of 300. Nice Silver Inc. autograph for the youngster going to Chris Maxwell and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Nice. Behind Jeter is a Quad Relic George Springer Astros edition. 59 out of 99. That'll be for you on in Houston. And we've got J.D. Davis, 27 out of 35. Game used memorabilia going to the Metropolitan to Eric J. And the book. Let's see what we got. It's momentous material, dual jumbo patch autograph relic book card. Good luck. They're both Dodgers. Wow. Two color patch and Cody Bellinger's autograph. Two color patch and Corey Seeger's autograph. Nice. Oliver Soria with the Dodgers. And that's a one of one. Woo. Oliver. With a little Dodger Joe Mojo all aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-woo. What a way to end it. That was 2021 Topps Museum Collection Baseball Six Box Half Case. Pick your team number one. I'm Joe for jasmizcasebreaks.com. Get into this while supplies last. We'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.
