up today. The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Trader's Edge with Steve Rhodes. An<PHONE_NUMBER> or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Trader's Edge. Now Steve Rhodes. Good afternoon and welcome to TFNN. Today is May the 4th. It is the magical Monday edition of today's Trader's Edge show. I'm your host, Steve. Perseverance Rhodes, who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope everyone out there is having a great day. Let's make sure we have an extraordinary one. And the easiest way to do that, well, it's to always remember that life is happening for us, not to us. That's right. When you and I make that one little two-by-four shift, it means we can find the gift in every set of circumstance that life is going to toss at us. Now today you and I, we're going to go check on the circumstance of these markets. We're going to go figure out what those bulls and bears, what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I just passed one o'clock in the afternoon. I want you to know that I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here, but much more important than that. During this next 60 minutes, I'm here to serve you. So feel free to pick up that phone. You can dial on in at<PHONE_NUMBER>. If you can't dial in, we've got you covered there too. Let those fingers do the walking. You can send me an email, Steve at TFNN.com. Inside the subject heading, please put radio show question, of course, in our Tiger's Den. Well, any ping will do. So let's go ahead and get this show started on magical, magnificent, marvelous Monday. Of course, this is Tiger, Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to last show. Right now we got the, most of the indices in the red. The Dow is off about 200 points. S&P is down 12. The Nasdaq is a strong dog out here up 25 points. She's trading out at 87.43. That's about a quarter of a percent to the upside. The Russell Law 15 points, a little over 1%. That's the trainees that are having the most difficult time. They're trading out at 79.08 down nearly 3%. Spot follow till next trade down to 37.72. That is still below the 50-day exponential moving average. Gold's up 12 bucks. Silver's down 8 pennies. Lights we crude is up 44 cents. Natural gas is having a nice day up nearly 10 cents out here. And Treasury bonds up 9.30 seconds. Lead the charge to the upside. It's Tesla, followed by Shopify. That's $32 and $28, respectively. Autozone is in the green zone of 26 bucks. Service now up 14. Regenerent pharmaceuticals up about 13. To the downside, it's booking holdings. That's off 27. Transdigim group down about 18. Blackrock 7. Google off 7 as well. So plenty to look at, but we have a number of requests out here. First thing, let's just go take a look at the markets. Let's just get our bearings on what's going on as we speak at 109 in the afternoon. So let's take a look at what do we know. We began, took a look at the 1 p.m. update. Let's just come back to the S&P 500. On the S&P 500, we'll go through several of the indices just so you can see what is transpiring as we speak right now, as well as what levels to be watching come the end of the day. And inside the S&P 500, the area you're going to want to watch is about 2808. The S&P closes below that, combined with the spot volatility is closing above the 50-day exponential moving average. What the S&P will do is it will really confirm its Gartley cell pattern out here. So here we can see the Gartley cell pattern. You've got an A to B equal CD to the upside. This was confirmed back on Thursday. We had a nice little bear sash candle follow-through on Friday, a gap to the downside. And now what's taking place today is a test of Stevie's green line. And because that's green, and what we did, you and I, we took a look at this a few days ago, well, probably on Friday, I can't say a few days ago, Thursday, Friday, we would have noticed that Stevie's line had changed colors. And when it changes colors, it tells us of an impending test of price and that level. Now, this went from red to green. And that's really important. What's really important is the test, believe it or not, because if there's a test and rejection, we already had the test. We've already seen the rejection, but this is a daily timeframe chart. So 110 doesn't mean a heck of a lot of beans out there. You know what I was going to say. It really matters where does price close. If this were the close right now, we have competing patterns. We have a bearish pattern, that's the Gartley cell, and we have a bullish pattern, which is that support is held. And it's really all about support. Now, what I'm going to do here is we're going to change from the S&P 500 quickly. And because, so here's what we know right now as of 1-11 in the afternoon, the S&P 500 has held a absolute key level of support. And that is Stevie's green line. Can sellers break the backs of support? That is the question that you and I are trying to answer. We already have one answer, at least as of 1-11. The answer there is no, they have not been able to do that, the sellers. Now, does that take away from my overall larger, bigger picture, bearish? No, it doesn't. We're taking a look at what are the equities or what are the indices doing as we speak right now, so I can give you the proper information so that you can prepare, understand, anticipate, and so forth. Now, another level of support that you and I can look at, key level of support out here, would be the bottom of those profiles. Now, the profile levels, both the top, the bottom and the center, tell us a lot about what price is doing with inside that range. The range would be the top and the bottom of its profile. So, let me just expand the S&P 500 or the ES Minis, what I should say. And out here, we take a look at the profiles. If you look at the bottom of the profile, that's 27.6680. Well, the S&P can trade to that level. So, really, it would be 27.66.75. Now, the low overnight was 27.71. So, it was four points, four and a half points, whatever, above hitting the bottom. We use these as guidelines. It doesn't have to hit it to the tick. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't. It doesn't matter. What you need to know is that support here is held. So, even though we've got cell patterns, both on the ES Mini, with regard to its currently cell, both in the S&P 500, we also have two levels of support that have held. Now, the profile that you and I are looking at inside the S&P 500, the ES Mini out here, let me go ahead and turn off price just so you can clearly see it. And you're going to be looking at the blue bars on the very right-hand side just as I turn the price levels off. What you're going to notice is that this is a bullish structured profile. It's bullish in structure because the centerline of 28.16 is closer in proximity to the bottom at 27.66 versus the top at 28.90. Now, the key here is going to be the 28.16 level. So what we know is that the sellers or the bears have not been able to bust the backs of buyers out here. But what buyers haven't been able to do, let's turn price on, is get price above the center of that profile. The center of that profile is where both buyers and sellers believe there's fair value out here. If buyers are going to be able to push price up to at least the top of the profile level, that's at 28.90, you need to see it close above 28.16.  But if you do see a decent close, let's call it 28, I don't know, 28.22? Room 222. Yeah, let's go with that out there. Then that's going to suggest you should anticipate a move to the 28.90. Now, it's not going to be easy to do for the buyers out here. Let's take a quick peek at that. Therefore, if they can really turn the tide, what tide? Steve, you just told me that two levels of support held. I did. What I haven't told you is that, or what I did tell you, I just haven't gotten to it yet, is it's still going to be a struggle for those buyers and why? Because as we speak right now, and this just took place within the last hour or so, we've seen a bearish crossover in market breadth. So as we speak right now, there's only 95 instruments in the S&P 500 trading above the top of their profile, and there's 129 trading below the bottom of their profile. This is why price has not been able to get itself, the ESMini, above the center of that profile out there. We're going to a break. We'll come back. We'll field some questions and keep looking at the patterns in the markets. Steve Rhodes with TFNM. We'll be right back. Your arsenal is short a mighty weapon.

Folks, that was off 250 S&P down 20, a number of questions that have come in. So let's get to those and if we've got time, we'll go back to the general markets. The first question coming in here from Craig E. And Craig writes, and he says, sugar cane. C-A-N-E is the ticker symbol. So let's go punch this up on our screen out here. C-A-N-E. It's one of the ETFs. I'd be about to say, yeah, that's the tecrium, if that's how you pronounce it properly, ETF for sugar out here. So Craig says, presently long, next two to three week horizon, would you ID support to add to a position, ultimately, resistance for unwinding? So here's the deal. Here is your cane ETF out here. But the problem here, Craig, is I wouldn't use this chart or the set of charts out here to be making my decisions. And the reason that I wouldn't is because I would need to understand what are the futures contracts that are contained inside of ticker symbol C-A-N-E and what if it's more than one futures contract, what are those percentages?   But I still want to give it to you. The top of the profile on a daily basis, 555. The bottom is 527. The center is 541. So it's trading with inside its profile. I don't know if that means anything quite frankly. I know what it means on an individual stock, but with regard to, and this is certainly an individual ETF. But again, we've got to get back to, and I'll take a quick peek and see what, in fact, actually, I pulled it up here during the break. And so let me just, I'll go to it in a moment. On a weekly level, because you were talking maybe two to three weeks, the bottom of its profile is 543. The center is 566. So it's a bearish profile. This says trading below. The bottom of that profile is not good. Not good to be long intermediate term, as you're suggesting here. The top of that profile would be 612. So here's what, let me pull this back up. And let me come back over here to Kane. And oops, shoot. And what I can share with you, and you may already know this, Craig. So you probably do. But for the other folks that are listening and are thinking, hey, maybe I'll take Craig's position. Here's what is inside, as of May 1st. So this is as of the close on Friday, inside of Kane. There's about 2.6 million worth of October futures contracts. In fact, let me just move over to the futures contracts for sugar out here. So here are the forward futures contracts. So you've got July 2020, you've got October, you've got March, you've got May, July. Now we're, and I'm getting into 2021 out here, you can see 2022. So you can see what sugar is selling for for delivery for each of those monthly contracts. So right now, Kane is split up almost all, well, like you have 2.6 million in October contracts, you've got 2.3 million in March contracts, and you have 2.6 million in, and I'm talking March 2021, and March of 2022. So that is what it is that you've got to be able to manage, Craig, in order to be able to have any kind of visibility as to what's really going on inside of Kane out there, and I can't do that. Unfortunately, it would take me the entire show to really do this properly out there. So that's what you would need to do. I hope you have access to those futures contracts. I would say like this, if you don't, then get out, because you've got to be able to understand what's going on in the underlying instruments out here. And if I take a look at, well, it doesn't even make sense to look at July contract, that is the actively traded contract out here. And you might have thought that that was the case. Instead, we've got to go take a look at October 2020, because that's the one that's in here. And right now, price is pulling back into a trend line. The top of that profile out there is 1053. And if you see the October sugar futures contract get below 2053, pretty good chance that's going to run down to the 1002 area. So Craig, I hope that helps you out with regard to Kane. If you weren't aware of the different futures contracts that were inside there, then I know that that was a big help out there. So let's go to our next question. The next question coming in from Ian, Ian Miller. No, I'm just kidding. It's not Ian Miller out there. That just take me back to my good old, what is it, the Greek wedding? What's the name of that movie out there?  But DHT, let's just stay on track here, Steve. Ian wants to take a look. He's got a position in DHT in at about 675. He's trading out at 729. And Ian is asking, it's coming out with earnings tomorrow. Do you have a target on a daily basis and a good location for a stop? So great location for a stop. In this case here is always going to be, or I'd say, is going to be to the extent that you want to stay in this for a longer period of time out here. Your stop should always be some expansion of its average true range. Now, I like to use the last two weeks worth of trading. And the average true range for the last 10 days is 63 cents. Yeah, 63. So your stop should be 63 times. I like to use a Fibonacci expansion. That would be 1.272 or 1.618 out there. And then your stop would be somewhere between, so that would be your stop levels. I'm not going to do the calculations you've got. I've given you the numbers. You can do the calculations yourself. Now, here's the problem that you have being long DHT holdings, at least from a daily standpoint in earnings coming out tomorrow. And that was really back on, looks like maybe Tuesday of last week, April 29th, you had a wide-ranging bar with accelerating volume to a certain extent, with accelerating volume crashing below a bullish structure daily profile. So from a daily message, it's telling you, hey, I may have a change in trend here, or at least I want to trade lower. And we're going to go try to figure that out out here. Now, trade lower to where? If we just take a look at where's the next support level inside the profiles out here, we'd have to go to the weekly. And on the weekly, this says pulling down to 629. You're in a 675. You wouldn't like that out there, right? So at least I wouldn't think that you would like that or appreciate it. But that is what the task market profiles are communicating to you and I. And what we also know is that on a monthly basis, price was unable to bust out the highs last month. That was at 808. If you can't bust them out, maybe you try to bust them down. So all of that out here is painting a picture, Ian, that price wants to move lower. Now, let's go take a look at the daily timeframe out here. Again, this is DHT. We can see that this formed a TD9 count top out here. And now it's going to be, it looks like perhaps in bar number seven of a TD9 count to the downside. We don't know whether that's going to form the TD9 count that is, because it's only day seven and you need to see that you've got at least two more days. So the earliest that we'd really know would be Wednesday, Wednesday, Thursday out here. But price could, it says, is coming out with earnings. If you're asking me where support is at or DHT on a daily basis would find support. It would be all the way down at $5.51. There's nothing bullish about the chart pattern that you and I are looking at on a daily basis. Excuse me, got a piece of dust. Nothing like a breathing in a little air and then getting a little dust ball or something in any event out here. Now, look, I can't control what the markets are going to do next. But what you and I can do is we can take a look at what the markets are communicating, the message of the markets out here, that's very clear to us and understand we're a support and resistance. By the way, resistance right now is Stevie's green line at 773. On a weekly basis out here, what do we see? I don't see much. I don't, I see support at about 693 out here. But I'd be careful. I would be careful at this stage inside of DHT. If you had a nice profit, maybe it makes sense to go ahead and bag that before earnings. Steve Rhodes with TFNM, we'll be right back.

Let's go to our next question, this one coming in from Hector and Patty, the fuel injector is out there. Hector goes on to say, hey, happy marvelous Monday. Thank you. I realize that the Semiconductor Index is in a gertly sell pattern. However, if fund buying does materialize for a few days, where can we see the socks completely topping in? Petering out by Thursday, Friday of this week. So great question. Let's go take a look at the Semiconductor Index. Let's go take a look at first the gertly sell pattern that Hector has identified. Now, you've got really two topping signals here inside of the Semiconductors. Number one, you've got the wave number seven, that's letter G. So those of you that are familiar with the Chapman wave, I primarily focus on wave number seven letter G. That's where you can see a change in trend. Now, at the same time that that was happening, the very next trading session, what we saw was a bear sash candle and that confirmed that gertly sell pattern. That was on Thursday. And then on Friday, we saw a gap to the downside. Now, in this case here, unlike what we just looked at earlier in the opening segment inside the S&P 500, you will see that its oscillator and change line changed from red to green, but on Friday, price gap down below that Hector and it closed below that level. So that was the area that should have acted as support. Will old support become new resistance? I don't know, but if you're asking me where is the key level of resistance on the move higher, I would say at this stage here have to be Stevie's green line. At 1674, that's about 40 points different from where it's trading right now. It could do that in a heartbeat out here. Right now with the Semiconductor Index looks like it's communicating to you is that price wants to trade down to its breakout level. That is 1508.74. That is in the Semiconductor Index. So the potential bounce, should we see one inside the Semi 1674 would be the level that I would be looking at first. Other than that, it would be somewhere inside the gap, either the higher Friday or the lower Thursday. That would be your next areas out there. So Patty and Hector, thanks for the question. And you guys have a marvelous, a magical, a magnificent Monday. Let's go to our next question out here. This one coming in from Bill and Bill wants to take a look at ticker symbol KR that is Kroger out here. So he wants to go to the grocery store. I say go in without a mask and gloves. I say cough and breathe everywhere out there. Yeah, that's what we should do. Let's get everybody to take their masks off for good and sakes out here. All right, enough of that out there. But let's go take a look at what Bill is looking for, which is your long Kroger. What would be the target inside of Kroger? So here's what we know about Kroger right now as we take a look at how it's trading in relationship to its profiles. You're with the inside the daily profiles out there. So you've got resistance at 3263 that happened to be where price found resistance today. Now it's a slightly bearish structured profile that's centerline a little bit closer to the top than it is to the bottom out here. But right now Kroger's just trading inside a consolidation area 3263 at the high, 3080 at the low out here. If price can break above 3263, not break, but close above 3263, then you're looking at the next resistance area as 3385. That's what we see when we take a look at Kroger. Now let's bring over Stevie's other charts on the monthly basis prices above resistance there. So nothing for us to hang our hat on. Now when this did form inside Kroger, it happened to also be on wave number seven. That was letter G. That was on March the 20th. Since then, price is just simply move sideways. It's in between. There's nothing else here on the daily timeframe. Other than a move below 2787 would get you to 2706. Oh, that's the monthly timeframe. My apology. That's a monthly timeframe that we're looking at out here. What we can see is that last weekend, this week, prices pulled back, tested the weekly Stevie Green Line at 3189. So that still is bullish, although resistance at that 3385. Let me switch back to the daily timeframe. See what we have over here pattern wise. What do we have to hang our hats on? You know, when price pulled back, here's a beautiful thing as Kroger was pulling back, not that this was what Bill was asking about, but look at this. When price pulled back back on March 26, right back to that breakout level of 2736, you have to love, you don't have to. I love, and you should love them too, these objective levels of support and resistance out there. They're just simply a phenomenal tool. You should learn how to use it. You know, sign up for mastering probability. There's a workshop on here. It gives you all the details. It's in the archive section and you will be happy. You will be happy. I don't have any additional information I can see in looking at the daily timeframe chart out here. You're long. I don't know where you're long from, but you now know at least where the resistance levels are. See if I've got anything else. Put up the monthly timeframe chart. You know, monthly looks pretty good in that price above 3040. And that was its breakdown there. And so you had to close above that last week, suggesting that price should continue to move higher, but you've got to deal with the resistance levels by that daily and that weekly timeframe. So this is not Mr. Bill. No, we've got a Mr. Bill in the den. This is from Bill and that is Kroger. Our next question coming in from Alex, and Alex writes, and hey Alex, how you doing? Alex writes in and he says, hey Steve, has Alibaba, B-A-B-A, made a near term bottom? So let's go take a look at Alibaba, again ticker symbol there, B-A-B-A. Let's take a look at what it's doing in relationship to well, has it made its bottom out here? So from a market profile standpoint, the answer would be no. The reason that we would say no is because on Friday price gap down below support on a daily basis, that was 202.48 out there. You've got another day below that level day number two, suggesting that price moves lower. So from a profile perspective in the monthly or the weekly profile is bearish in structure and prices below the center of that box 208.85. This is suggesting to you that its next target is 18106. 177.78 is the top of the monthly profile. So that really is the range of where price is very likely headed to. Now let's pull over the other chart, my other chart tools out here for Alibaba, see what we see out here. And on this chart what we're seeing is price today is trading below its breakout level. So this formed a TD9 count top. It did on the bar following bar number nine that was on April the 21st out there. That set up this breakout level of 192.70. And today with price trading below that, again, if it holds 192.70 at the end of the day, different picture out here. But right now that's not the case. And this is suggesting to us that price wants to move lower as well. Let me put up, that was a daily timeframe. Let me put up the weekly timeframe. Let me populate this out here, see what we see. Nothing new here, 160.812 if price doesn't hold 18106 area. And on the monthly timeframe, yeah, I don't have anything else. But to answer your question, has this made a near term bottom? Stevie's answer is going to have to be no. I don't see any pattern out here to suggest that. And I would just simply be watching that 181-ish type area for the next potential bottoming signal. You'd want to see some type of bottoming pattern on the daily timeframe to match up with that weekly bottom of its market profile out there. So Alex, good to hear from you. Thanks for writing in. I hope that that helps you out. So there are some more questions, but we've got about 30 seconds out here. Let's go take a look at the other areas and numbers you're going to want to watch during the day. Let's take a look at the Dow Jones Industrial Lab. It's right now, prices, testing, Stevie's Green Line has got a Gartley cell. 23446 is the approximate number. That's the exact number right now. That'll change throughout the day. But still in the Dow, you've got a nice Gartley cell pattern, but price has not been able to bust through support. Don't get caught up into the numbers. Instead, know your P's and Q's. Actually know your S's and R's, not your Steve Rhodes' but your support and resistance levels. And if you know that, you'll be able to interpret the message of the markets. Right now, the Dow holding key support. Hope you're right back. If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First Mortgage Program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tax Act of 2018 set up tax-free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The investment is anywhere from $30,000 to $75,000. The interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis. According to bankrate.com, the best rate for a four-year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1%. A $50,000 investment at a normal four-year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year or $6,200 over the four-year period. That same $50,000 investment in the Tiger First Mortgage Program would give you $3,500 per year or $14,000 over the four years. What should you prefer? $6,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment? If you'd like more information about the Tiger First Mortgage Program, you can call me at<PHONE_NUMBER>.

So let's go pull that as Shopify, I believe. SHOP is the ticker. Okay, we've already got that up here, so you can take a look. Let me finish reading the question out here. Wayne goes on to say, earnings are on the seventh, potential up or down range and direction of the likely move out here. Wayne from Dallas. So Wayne, right now price is stuck in between its daily and weekly profile. So here's what you know, you've got resistance at 650-307 and support at 589-70. Shopify is trading above its weekly and its monthly profiles. So it says it's above resistance for those time frames out here. I don't see anything at this stage to suggest that it has topped at least on those time frames, but I could be wrong. We've got to go see what patterns are going on out there. So let's pull over Shopify, take a look at it, see if there's any kind of clue that it's trying to provide to you and I. Let's begin by taking a look at the daily time frame out here. Let me populate this with all my tools and what do we have? What do we have? You've got a TD9 count top, but price has been unable to bust support. Now, what do I mean by bust support? How can you say that so quickly, Steve? I thought you said price was trading in between support and resistance on its daily time frame. Don't you love how I just talk to myself? Somebody's got to talk to me. Well, that is true. That is a true statement. It is trading between support and resistance of its market profiles, $589.70 at the bottom, $650.307 at the top. But what price did today as an example here, Wayne, is price came down and tested Steve's green line. So it's still bullish with resistance up at the $650.307 level. It's got the TD9 count top. So like many of the patterns that we're looking in the market, we've got clear topping signals, but what sellers have been unable to do thus far is bust out key levels of support. And Shopify is no different. It looks similar, but not the same, but similar to the Dow and the S&P. And that's got a clear topping pattern out here, but has not been able to bust through support. So I would have to say, Wayne, that's a bullish message, but it's almost more neutral. It's as if it's also waiting to see how is the market going to respond to earnings. It's got a top in price is not above that, and yet price is above support as well. So I don't really see any kind of clear signal where this will trade to on the daily timeframe. Now I take that back on the monthly, there was last week was a roadmap indicator signal. It was a dark cloud cover out here as prices moving higher, doing less relative energy. But the dark cloud cover is like me telling you, if you lived in Florida, that it might rain, that there's a 10% chance of, what's the difference between a 10% chance of rain and an 80% chance of rain in Florida? Not much, quite frankly, really not much. Even when the weather forecasters use their super Doppler radar out there, they're not as good as Stevie's super Doppler out here, things can get busted up pretty quickly. That's the beauty of living on a peninsula like this. So back to the weekly timeframe chart and answering your question, Wayne, yeah, there's an indication that it wants the top, but until price is able to get through at least the level of support, first level would be 546, and change out there still remains a bullish from my standpoint. And on a monthly basis, I don't see any kind of a topping signal. So the daily is just neutral at this stage and maybe waiting to see how the market will respond out there. I don't have a clear signal as to which way wants to move it is more bullish than it is bearish. And I think we covered that. Let's go to the next question that came in here. And that is coming from Eddie. Eddie says, Steve, could the market hold up with the positive notion that we are reopening the country? Can you look at team and Nvidia? Hey, it could. It absolutely could out there, Eddie. But that means in order to say that it could, what the market will have to do is defy history, defy history of the last several hundred years out there. But at least for the last 130 years out there is what the market would have to defy. I don't know if any of you got a chance to, I mean, I don't know what it's like in your neck of the woods. In my neck of the woods, even though I'm in Florida and there are certain parts that are open and I saw that Clearwater Beach out there, we're not open down here in Palm Beach County. We're still basically locked up. So there's not a whole lot to do. There's nothing that's really open, even if you wanted to go out, so to speak. And so, you know, there's nothing better to do on Saturday night than watch four hours of Warren Buffett taking questions. I think it was probably about two or three hours. Actually, I found it fascinating. I absolutely found it fascinating. So I don't know if you got a chance to see it. I don't know if they played it enough, but it was easy enough to watch on my porch as I was watching the boats go by and watch Warren try to answer some questions, many questions. And boy, he really, what I might take away from it, there's several, several takeaways. He spent the first hour or so, and you could see the fear. I could see the fear. I felt the fear coming from him. And he was doing everything he could, I felt, to try to not crash the market. Truly. That was the impression that I got from him. And then, of course, his actions out there. And he's going to take advantage of a buying opportunity. And he indicated to us, for how many of reasons you want to take a look at it out here, Eddie, is he didn't see a buying opportunity. That's because he, that is because, well, what's his other name, Charlie, out there, they know fundamentally how markets will form bottoms. And they know that every major market bottom is formed with GDP bottoming. And if you listen to Warren, he was basically saying, yeah, I don't see it. Could happen. Will happen eventually. US is a great place. But not with my money, is in essence what he was saying, at least what I saw. And with regard to Charlie Munger out there, I think more likely than not, because Charlie at 96 doesn't have much of a filter, nor does he really need one. Somebody would ask Charlie a question he would have given the honest answer. And that would have scared the bejesus out of probably everybody out there in the market would be crashing. So is it possible? Yeah, it'll have to defy odds that are, you know, so I'm just speaking to you and I'm answering your question here, Eddie. And I'm doing it factually from a chart pattern standpoint out there. And I think that what you and I had looked at a month ago, or six weeks ago, five, six weeks ago, when all these started unfolding out there is exactly what they also are looking at. But boy, Warren really does have a great grasp of his businesses out there. And was really able to answer, you know, when they start taking like a capital allocation. And I know for many people, those conversations could easily go over the head of folks out there. But like I may beam counter. Yeah, I love numbers. As my good friend John has told me says, when it comes to this stock stuff, he calls me a geek. But he does it in a very affectionate way out there. I love it. Because this is this is the stuff that I do enjoy and I love. And if you're at all numbers guy, you'll go listen to it. It was on Yahoo. They've got it's got to be recording of it somewhere out there. And I really thought it was fascinating all the way up to the last question out there. And the questions were good. I mean, he started talking, talked about, you know, hey, once once he goes and whoever it is that takes over, what's going to stop somebody from coming in and trying to break up Berkshire Hathaway. In other words, parts are maybe greater than the sum out there. And he had an immediate grasp of that. Now I realize that he's also pushing his own book in his game out there, but but still very, very clear articulate answers. So Eddie, sorry about that. We come back to this break. I'll give you your answer on team or Nvidia out there. I'll see which one has the better patterns for you. This is Steve Rhodes with TFNN.

Let's go answer Eddie's question about team and then spend a minute or so taking a look at the market. Eddie, when I take a look at team, prices above the top of its weekly profile, 156.12, it closes above that bullish breakout. You've got a brand new profile that formed here in May. Prices above that, that's a bullish message. There's an A to B equal CD to the downside at a minimum that is in play out here. It didn't confirm it, meaning volume didn't exceed the swing point when it passed it on March 25th, which had 2.7 million shares. Nonetheless, there's an A to B equal CD to the upside. The first, the one to one level is 166. The one to 1.2 is 177. So team is really above all resistance levels out here that I can see and all looks pretty good there. Now back to the markets and what to be watching come the end of the trading session out here. If we take a look at market breadth, the advanced decline oscillator is basically sitting on its zero line out here. So still really in the hands of the bulls. If we take a look at the spot volatility index, price below the 50-day exponential moving average, that's at 40.80. That says price is still in the hands of the bulls. We look at the S&P and the Dow already. Let's go take a look at the NDX100 and the NDX100. Prices above Stevie's green line out here. Again, nice Gartley sell pattern. That took place on Friday with its three river evening star pattern out here, but price is still above Stevie's green line. That doesn't mean that it doesn't have some problems out here. When I say problems, it's market breadth in the NDX100 just like the S&P has done a daily basis. It's market breadth bearish. I right now had a bearish crossover. Let's take a look at the top holdings inside of the NDX. You've got Microsoft. Is there anything bullish out here? Look, you've got the Gartley sell price above Stevie's green line. That is bullish, not bearish out here. So kind of neutral right in between support and resistance, maybe not right to you, but right for me. If we go take a look at Apple, Apple's got a Gartley sell pattern, the shooting star from Friday, but this shooting star is not having any follow through to the downside. Price above its green line out there. Again, more neutral or bullish. It is not bearish even though it has a bearish pattern. We take a look at Amazon. Amazon's got a nice little Gartley sell. Roads went into a butterfly sell. Roads meant to be indicated, but price here has not busted support and that's $22.39. Those are your top three holdings inside the NDX100. Folks, stay tuned. Your favorite polar bear, David, whites up next after that. Tom O'Brien to take us on home and I'll look forward to seeing you on Cinco de Mayo. We'll have a Corona. We'll have a Corona. We'll drink when live on the air. Take care, folks.

Welcome everyone, this is Melissa Arma with the Stock Swoosh and I'm here today to announce a Golden Gap Course New Year's Eve special. I wanted to do something special to end 2016. It's been a really good year for me and the Stock Swoosh. If you'd like more information, you can email me at Melissa at thestockswoosh.com or feel free to give me a call at 929-3200-GAP and you can go follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, or Skype. So ask yourself, if you've been thinking about trading or maybe you've been attempting trading but not been successful, could 2017 be your year? Do you really want to make a trading in 2017? It is a conscious decision when you decide that you want to trade or place any trades in the market or even take a class like the class I teach, which is the Golden Gap Course. Think about this. It really is about making good choices if you want to make money. How do you reach your monetary goals trading? Whatever they are, whether it's $1,000 a day or $500 a day or $100 a day. Some people have huge goals and some people have very small goals. It doesn't matter what your goals are. You still need to have, number one, a good system. Number two, a good mentor, which is me for my Gap students. And number three, you've got to make good choices. You still are responsible for the choices that you make in your trades. I want everyone that comes and learns from me to be successful. I do my best to help people when they reach out to me. I do my best to get back to them. And this New Year's Eve special I'm offering is just one more thing that I'm offering to new traders and new students to help them become successful. And the people that are already trading with me in the trading room have had a great month in this year in 2016 in December. And December is usually a very slow month, but it's been a strong month for the stocks to show trading room. So it is about success. Success in the market, your success. And it's 100% success. What does that mean? That means you're putting forth your very best effort to do it, which is having a good system, having a good mentor, and making right choices, as I said. So one of your financial goals for 2017, what are they? Write them on a piece of paper. How much money do you want to make in the calendar year 2017? Make a plan of action for your trading. How much money do you want to make per year in the year of 2017? How much money do you want to make per day in your trades? Start from scratch so you can go into the next year prepared and ready to go. A lot of people come to me the same list, so I want to make 20 grand a month. I want to make $1,000 a day. Is this realistic? Of course it's realistic, except for the fact that you have to follow my system if you take my class. And you have to follow me in the trades that I call in the room. You do need a good quality system to make this money. It is realistic, except for you have to have a system. Many, many people don't have a system at all, and then there are some people that have a system, but it doesn't work. So you have to have a system, a good system. And it has to be something that consistently sets up in the market. I trade gaps, and you consistently get gaps at least five days a week. Now whether or not you get a good gap that meets my criteria five days a week is a different story. Some days you don't, and guess what? Those days you follow me as a good mentor and you don't take any trades. Again, this is part of making the good decisions. It's all about balance, having the right balance in your life, in your trading, and in making your financial choices. And part of that is planning, deciding, making the conscious decision. You want 2017 to be a good trading year for you. You want it to be a strong financial year for you, and you're going to get up, and you're going to do it, and you're going to decide that you were going to be in alignment. This is a perfect alignment here of these rocks. One little push over, anything could fall, except for they're not, and they look perfect. And this is really where you have to be with yourself and your trading. And if you need someone to help you get there, my class is the vehicle to do it and me. So the New Year's Eve holiday special is what? If you want to sign up for the class and for 2017, the class is January 14th and 15th from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time. The cost of the class is $49.99 US dollars. My class teaches how to trade professional bearish gaps. So the New Year's Eve holiday special expires December 31st, New Year's Eve, 2016 at midnight. And if you'd like more information, you can email me at Melissathestockswish.com on how to register for the class and the special. What is the special? You sign up for the Golden Gap course and receive one year free in the Stock Swiss Show Live Trading Room for 2017 and one year free, which is 2017, the whole year of the Gap Options Annual Letter. So you'll have all the tools and trade calls necessary to start 2017 off. And really to make it a good, strong year for you and to start on your best and highest foot to be a profitable trader. This is a huge savings. You will save $56.99 because the room is normally $2,700 for the year. And the letter is $2,999. You'll get both those things free if you want to sign up by 1231 for the class, which is the second week in January. For more information, email me at Melissathestockswish.com and have a happy new year, everyone. Have a very safe, prosperous, joyous, relaxing, peaceful new year. Enjoy the holidays with your family. Take some time off away from the market. That's exactly what I'm going to be doing and relaxing and getting all geared up and excited and mentally prepared and ready to start off great in 2017 and have a fantastic, fabulous, profitable year. Thanks everyone for watching. And again, email me at Melissathestockswish.com for more information.


Next question is from S-Powers 28. Are D-Load Weeks necessary? I think easier workouts, workouts that allow your body to recover are necessary. Do I think it's necessary to schedule D-Load Weeks? For some people, yes. For other people, no. Who would it be necessary for? For competitors, right? Yeah, or yeah, athletic competitors or bodybuilders, I would think this would apply, you know, the majority of people towards it. In terms of scheduling it, you know, to sort of give you that break and refresh to then, you know, repo. I never did this with most clients, because most clients naturally have D-Load Weeks. Yeah. Keeping a client consistent for three to six months and never missing a workout. That was a hard thing. That is extremely, in fact, I probably failed 95% of the time. The reality is they have vacation, they have busy lives, stuff happens for a week or whatever. So they naturally do it. The only clients or the only people that I ever had to do something like this with is the competitors. Somebody who actually could go years and not miss a workout. And those people tend to need these D-Load Weeks and it's highly beneficial for them. I let the other ones kind of naturally happen.  Like this would be good for me, right? Cause I know it's in my schedule. I have to do it and it'll force me to do it because my tendency is to not do it. My tendency is to push probably too hard or too often. But for most people, I don't think scheduling a D-Load Week is a big deal. But, you know, again, rephrasing the question, is it necessary to have workouts that give your body an opportunity to heal and recover? In other words, is it necessary to have easier workouts or lighter workouts? Yes, absolutely. And here's the thing. I think people believe that these easier workouts, or if you wanna label them D-Load Workouts, that's fine. I think people believe that D-Load Workouts or easier workouts pause your progress. Like, okay, I'm not gonna progress this week because I'm actually, studies actually show that oftentimes progress happens in a D-Load Week. So it's like they've been pushing, pushing, pushing, then they go easier workouts and then, boom, they get all this muscle growth or strength. I think, I mean, the ideal situation is that you can intuitively pick up on the signs and signals your body is sending you and be able to back off, you know, and be able to weave in and out and undulate the intensity, the volume, whatever it is necessary to get you to fully recover so you can keep progressing. And we have to be careful here because it's like the question is necessary. And so where I think we're addressing necessary but valuable, yes. I think they can be very valuable, especially for someone like Sal. I mean, we recently shared a study on the show where, you know, you had the two groups, one group trained consistently for 16 weeks, never took any days off versus a group that every third week took a whole week off. And at the end of the study, the group that took the week off was had progressed just as much as the group that never took any days off. So there's definitely tremendous, obviously, tremendous value. If you can do, what is it? Less work. Yeah, less work and get the same results as somebody who's doing more work than there's obviously there's value there. That's what that study points out. So, but I think our point is saying that most people naturally take days off, naturally deload because of just regular life things that happen. Now, if you're the hardcore, super consistent and high volume training type of person, then yeah, no, I think they're extremely valuable. And according to that study, you could get away with every month taking a few days or a week off of training and it would be beneficial for you. Now, do you guys have signs that you look out for for yourselves where you say, okay, this is happening, I need to go easy on my workouts? Is there something specific? Usually for me, I can sense whether or not, like I'm putting too much pressure in certain joints and like this. Yeah, so like I have pain right now is specifically that I'm dealing with my shoulder hips. And so I'm definitely still going through the movements but with a lot less intensity and bringing the volume down but I plan on kind of weaving in and out of that so that way I can allow them to recover. Is that from your workout video? Yeah, for the shoulder for sure. Yeah, I mean, I definitely push it a bit. Because you push that 120-something pound kettlebell. Yeah, that's the problem with like, you're talking me up a bit. I didn't want to like do just like my regular workouts so that was totally a performance workout. You know, like I, but so I paid for that a bit because it was outside of my normal intensity range but now it's just a matter of getting myself back to where I feel like my body's like at its optimal form. Yeah, I think for me, all the time now because of you assholes. Yeah, I was a much, I was a much better. You blame them everything. It is your fault. It's 100% your fault because before you guys, I never even, like I said, I never trained singles and doubles and triples.  I was like, so I was so anti that.  It was not necessary. You can build an incredible, and because you know what I mean. Would you say when you're necking in the bedroom, she doesn't ask you how much you can bench? That's right, that's right. It was all show, no go. I wasn't about performance. I wasn't about how much I bench. I wanted to look good. And I was very sure of that's what my goal was and what I wanted to accomplish. And it wasn't necessary for me to push the boundaries as far as weight. Now we started hanging out together and now I'm paying attention to how much do I bench press? How much do I squat? How much do I deadlift? And now my fucking, my hips, my elbow, my shoulder always are talking to me because what ends up happening is I get in a little bit of a rhythm and I want to see what I can push and what I can do. And then my body reminds me that, you know, you should be training more like this. Some of those advanced age vitamins. Stretching your capacity, Adam, that's all. Help your, help your, yourself. It's true. I mean, I'm teasing about blaming it on you guys, but I really didn't suffer from a lot of that stuff until I, that is the one challenge with. You push performance hard too often for sure. Yeah. It's hard though because it is a, you know, a double-edged sword, right? Because there are tremendous benefits I've got since I've trained that way too. Of course. One of the things I love that I notice about my body today than just five, six years ago is because I've gotten so strong in some of these big compound lifts. Man, if I just, if I make, if I make sure I hit overhead press, squat, deadlift and bench, like once a week, it actually maintains my, my physique. I don't have as aesthetic as the competitive Adam does or what like that. But like I can maintain, I definitely can maintain where a A&PM worker will think that I look strong and fit. That's right. I remember saying that. That feels good. Yeah. You look strong. You look strong. You're like a jacked guy.


Hi, I'm Yael Shai. I'm a 67-year-old boomer. I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. And hello, buddy, it was Gary Ware. I'm a 43-year-old millennial, and I live in the San Diego area. And we're so excited that we are co-facilitating a learning journey at this year's AIN Conference in Vancouver. It is called Reimagining Inclusion. Bridging generations and cultures with applied improv. Yay! And what are we going to be doing in this workshop? First of all, we're going to be giving a case history of our Zoomers to Boomers improv program that we started three years ago, which connects people of all different ages and cultures from around the world because it's online. And we'll share the benefits gained both by our participants and by us as co-facilitators. What else are we doing, Gary? Yeah, then you will get a chance to participate in some of our signature activities that will allow you to experience firsthand what it's like to be in an intergenerational workshop. And then what are we going to do to end it off, Yael? You get a chance to use your wisdom as applied improv practitioners. You're going to make up some new intergenerational exploration activities and you get to try it out on the rest of us so that we all walk away with some new ideas. Oh, so excited. I can't wait to see you there. Yay! See you there.

This is your girl, Whitbert Trippin, and welcome back again to my YouTube channel. So today, our tutorial will be about single-wealth pocket, pattern making, and sewing. Get your materials ready and let's get this tutorial started. First, drop a vertical line and a horizontal line perpendicular to each other. Next, from the vertical line, mark out 6-4-8 inches all the way up. From the horizontal line, mark up 9-4-8 inches. This is the length of your pocket. And after marking all of the marks, drop all of the lines, and there you go. That is your pocket. For your pocket sewing allowance, put 6-8 inches on the sides. And on the top and the bottom parts, you are going to put 4-8 inches. Okay, so let's move on now to your wealth pocket pattern. First, drop the horizontal line. From this horizontal line, you are going to mark up 2 inches and drop another horizontal line. Next, drop the vertical line perpendicular to the horizontal lines and mark out the measurement for the wealth, which is 6-4-8 inches and complete the line. For the wealth sewing allowance, on the sides, put 6-8 inches, same with the pocket, and 2-8 inches on the top and the bottom part of the wealth. And now that we are done with your pattern, we can now cut it to your fabric. As you guys can see on the left corner, there's a big square that I cut from the fabric. This is yourself or your shelf. So we are going to use this for the sewing tutorial to attach our pockets in. Anyways, here is your pocket and here is your wealth. And always, your single wealth has the same weave with your pocket. So before sewing, what I did with my single wealth is I fused it with a cotton fuse. And what I'm going to do next is I am going to fold it and I am going to press it. Et voila! So this is your wealth after pressing it. So there you go. And the next step that we are going to do, from your two pockets, get the other one. And on this first pocket, we are going to attach here your wealth. So this is my finished product for my single wealth pocket tutorial. As you guys can see, I've already put myself on my ruler and my scissors. Anyways, you guys, if you like this video, give it a huge thumbs up. And if you're not subscribed yet to my YouTube channel, Britt Petrippin, please hit that subscribe button and that bell button as well. And I will see you guys again on my next tutorial for bomber jacket pattern making. Yay! I'll see you guys. Bye!


Welcome back to Veeamon 2022 where, in the home stretch actually, Dave Nicholson and Dave Vellante here, Daniel Freed is the General Manager and Senior Vice President for AMIA and Worldwide Channel. Daniel, welcome to theCUBE. You got a big job. No, I don't have a big job. I have a job that I love. Yeah, yeah, a job you love. But seriously, Veeam, all channel, right? I mean, it has been. I mean, it's something which, just a few seconds on that piece here, the channel piece, it's something that I love because the ecosystem of partners, an ecosystem of partners is something which is spending its time moving and developing and changing. You've got a lot of partners changing their roles, their missions, the type of services, type of product that they offer. They all adapt to what the market needs and all the markets around the world are very different because of all these different cultures and bridges and everything. So it's very interesting. In the middle of all that, these tens of thousands of partners, and you try to create and try to understand how you can organize, how you can make them happy. So this is fantastic. So, you're native of the continent. In Europe, obviously, we heard Anton today who couldn't be here or chose not to be here because he's supporting family and friends in Ukraine. What's the climate like now to share with us? What's it like in Europe? Just the overall climate and obviously the business climate. So the overall climate, the way I see it or I feel it, and obviously there may be some different opinions that I will always appreciate has also very good opinions. My view is that it seems in Europe that there are a distinction between what people do for businesses. They are thinking for the business, which may be impacted by the situations that we know in Europe because of obviously the issues between Ukraine and because of Russia, that's pretty this way. And then there is the personal view, which is, okay, that happens from time to time, but life continues and we just continue pushing things and enjoying life and getting the families together and so on and so forth. This is in most of the countries in Europe. Obviously there are a number of countries which are a little bit more sensitive, a little bit more impacted, all the ones who are next to Russia or Belarus and so on and so forth from an emotional standpoint, which is totally understandable. But overall I'm pretty impressed by how the economy, how people, how the businesses continue to thrive in Europe. Has Brexit had any, what impact, if any, has it had? So for us, Vim, the impact is, so first there is an impact which is on the currencies. So all the European currencies have slowed down and the US dollar rise is becoming much stronger. Despite its debt, right, shouldn't be, but. But that doesn't impact on the business, I'm just saying. Yeah, right, cool. So everything which is economy or macroeconomy call is impacted. We have the inflation also which has an impact which also has increased because of the oil, because of the gas of everything that has been stacked, it's gonna be stacked. But people get used to it. Us, Vim, from a business standpoint, one of the big things is we start sales selling into Russia and into Belarus and we're giving our technology, our product, our solutions for free to Ukraine. And that was a piece of the business that we were doing within EMEA, which was non-neglectable. So it's, I would say a business whole now that we need to try to fill with accelerating the business service in the other countries of Europe. I mean, okay. So thank you for that, but you really didn't see it in last quarter's numbers that you guys shared with the world, right? I mean, IBM, similarly, IBM said it's noticeable but it's not really a big impact on a business.  How about privacy around data in Europe particularly versus the U.S.? It seems like Europe is setting the trend on things like privacy, certainly on things like acquisitions, we saw the ARM acquisition fail. Yeah, yeah, so there is a big difference. Effectively, there is a big difference between, I would say, North America and the rest of the world. And I would say that in the AR, and within the AR, I would say the EU is leaning very much on what we call sovereign cloud. So data privacy, which in other words, data is to as much as possible as to remain within either the EU or better within each of the countries, which means that there is again, it's, I would say, in the AR, it's good, I would say for the business, for the partners, because then they have to develop around the cloud a number of functions to ensure that because of the data privacy, because of the GDPR or rules and things, all the data remains and resides in a given geographical environment. So it's, which is good because it creates a number of opportunities for the partners. It makes, obviously, the life of customers and ourselves a little bit more difficult, but again, I think it's good. It's good, it's part of all the way we structure and we organize. And I think that is going to expand because data is becoming so key, a key element, a key asset of companies, that we absolutely need to take care of it. And it is where Veeam plays a big role in that because we help paying companies managing their data and secure the data in a certain way. Yeah, ransomware has been a big topic of conversation this week. Do you sense that the perception of that as a threat is universal? Are there differences between North America and the EU and other parts of the world? Universal? Yeah, it is universal. We see that everywhere. And I think this is a good point, a good question too, is that it's very interesting because we need to get acquainted to the fact that we are going to have ransomware. We are going to be attacked. No way out. Anybody the morning is waking up, is going on emails and clicking, clicking on an email too late, was a ransomware. What can you do against that? All humans make mistakes, you know you can't. So it will happen. But where it's absolutely very important and where Veeam plays a big role and where our partners are going to play an even bigger role with our technology is that they can educate the customers to understand that to have ransomware is not an issue. What has happened is not a problem. What they have to do is to organize so that if they have ransomware, their data is safe. And this is where I place a big place. You know, a couple of hours back, I was doing a kind of parallel with something else. It's totally crazy. But that's okay, I'm going to say it. It's about the COVID. What, no, what do we do? Do we have something against COVID? No. People are going to get COVID, certainly many people are still going at it. But what is important is to be capable of not being too sick. Yeah. So it is the prevention. So, yeah, which is important. So something here. So there is this mindset, we have psychologically with the partners and they have to provide that services to their customers on how to organize their data using the technology of Veeam in order to be safe if anything happens. So another related question, if I may, when Snowden blew the whistle on the NSA and divulged that the NSA was listening to all the phone calls, there was seemed to be at the time, as I recall, a backlash sentiment in Europe, particularly toward big tech and cloud providers and skepticism toward the cloud. Has the pandemic and the reliance on cloud and the rise of ransomware changed that sentiment? Had the sentiment changed before then? Obviously, plenty of cloud going on in Europe, but can you describe that dynamic? Yeah. No, I think that's, I think that people were too, as usual, it absolutely reminds me when I was at Veeamware, when we went from the physical boxers to the virtual machines. I remember the IT people in the company said, no, I want to be capable of touching. So something here, when you talk about cloud, you talk about something which is virtual, but virtual outside, even outside, somewhere. So there is a resistance, a psychological resistance to where is my data? How do I control my data? And that is, I think that is very human. Then you need to, it takes time, and again, depending on the cultures, you need to get acquainted to it. So that's what happened before the pandemic. But then the pandemic took place and then there was a big problem. There was nobody anymore in the data centers because they couldn't work there. And then people were starting to work remotely. So the IT needed to be organized to compensate for all these different changes. And cloud was one of them, where the data could be stored, where the data could reside, where things could happen, and that's how actually it has accelerated, at least in a number of countries where people are a little bit like ours, to accept the adoption of cloud-based data. So is there a difference in terms of the level of domination by a small group of hyperscale clouds versus smaller service providers? In theory, you have EU behaving in a unified way in sort of the same way that the United States behaves in sort of a federated way. Do you have that same level of domination or is there more market share available for smaller players in cloud? Any regional differences? Yeah, there are big differences. There are big differences again because of this sovereignty which is absolutely pushed very, very, very much in Europe. I'll tell you, I'm giving you an example that it was in, I think in October last year, somewhere, the French administration said, we don't want any more, any administration investing in Microsoft 365 because the data is in Azure, the data is out in the cloud. That's what they said. So now this last week, that has changed because Microsoft introduced a number of technologies, data centers in France and so on and so forth. The things that we need to get better. But this sovereignty, the fact that the data, the privacy of data, everything has to remain in the countries is doing something like the technology of the hyperscalers is used locally, wrapped by local companies like system integrators, local system integrators, to ensure that the sovereignty is set and that the privacy of the data is for real and according to GDPR. So again, it's a value add, it makes things more complex. It doesn't mean that the Google Cloud, the Azure or the AWS are not going to exist in Europe but they are going to be a number of layers between them and the customers in order to make sure that everything is totally wrapped up and that it complies with the EU regulations. Help us understand the numbers, Daniel. So the number of customers is mind-boggling. It's over 400,000 now, is that right? Comparable to VMware, which is again pretty astounding. And the partner ecosystem, can you help us understand the scope of that? Part one, part two is how do you service and provide that partnership love to all those companies? The partners. Yeah. So yeah, we have about 35,000 around the world, 35,000 active partners. But again, it's 10 times less than Microsoft, by the way. So, and this is very interesting. I often have the questions of how do we manage. So first of all, we do cheering like anybody does. We have an organization for that and we have a two-chair sales motion. That means that we use the distributors to take care of the mass, the volume of the smaller partners. We help the distributors, so it's a leverage system. And we take care, obviously, more directly of the large partners or the more complex partners or the ones of interest. But we don't want to forget any of those because even the small one is very important to us because he has his customers, maybe in the middle of nowhere, but he's got a few of them. And again, to have a few of these customers, when you adapt, it makes, at the end, it makes a big business. One plus one plus one million times makes huge things. And plus, we are in a recurring business now, now that we've introduced three, four years ago, our subscription licenses, which means that it's only incremental. So it's just like the telephony business where the number, the cell phone plans, it's always grabbing as many as possible consumers in this case. So it's always the same thing. Or I have the same kind of, I do a parallel with the French bakery, the French boulangerie, where I say they do their business with the baguette. And then from time to time, they sell a pâtisserie or they sell a cake or cookie or something, but the sum of small things makes a big thing. So it is important to have all these small partners everywhere that have their small customers or big customers and that can serve them. So that's the way. So we segment by geography. And what we do now is, it is something which is new. We segment by competencies. So it's what I call the soft segmentation. Because if not, we will have a lot of these partners competing to each other just to sell Veeam. Veeam being number one in many countries. That is what is taking place. And we want them to be happy. We don't want them to fight against each other. So what we do is we do a soft segmentation. And soft segmentation is this partner is competent in this field with that kind of use case, doing this or this or this or this.  So you click for the geography and then you want to go for Indian food.  So we want to give that possibility to the customers to say, yeah, I think I know what I want. And then you can just click and get the partners or the list of partners, which are the most suited for his needs. So it's what I call the soft segmentation. The other thing which is important is the network. It's very interesting because when we look at a lot of companies, it's not a network. You've got VARs, you've got cloud and service providers, you've got SIs, you've got all the things. But if you take each of those individually, they don't have the competencies to answer all the requests of the customer. So the networking is partnering with partner. That means to have the connection so that a partner A, who has his customer, but his customer has a request that this partner cannot fulfill because it's not his competency. That he's going to find the partner or the other partners that can feel this competency and work together and then it's between them to have the model that they want so that together, they can please the customer with their requests. Do you ever want to have Veeamon? I mean, I'm happy it's in the U.S. I like going to Europe. But you ever want to have Veeamon in Europe? Yeah, we have Veeamon. We have mini Veeamons in Europe. You got the mini ones, okay, all? Veeamon tools. Globally. So where do you have them? In Europe and in APJ, yeah, it's what we do. What do you do in APJ? In Japan, obviously. I don't know all the locations. No, okay. Tens and tens of them. A lot of them. Small ones, we do replicate what is done here on one day and then it goes. And you'll do that in UK, France, Germany, local. Small countries in Saudi, in South Africa, in Israel, in Bulgaria, in all these countries. Because, you know, we can be virtual. That's nice. Oh yeah. I love to be having a breakfast or lunch or drink next to a partner or a customer. Because you learn so much more. The informal information is so important to understand how the business and how the market develops and what the needs are of customers and so on and so forth. How was the European attendance this year? It must have been down. It's hard to get into the US. It's actually easier to go back to Europe. Virtually, I don't know the numbers, but I think. Virtual, I'm sure, was huge, but physical. Physically here, we've got about 300 Europeans. Yeah. Okay. Do we know what are the numbers here? Do we know? Have we heard numbers? I know 45 was supposed to be around 45K combined. That's a hybrid, right? Yeah, so it's hard to get into the US. We're still figuring that out, so it's not a surprise. But now, it's complementary, yeah. Do you go to them all? No. You can't, right? No, that's not possible. I can't. Actually, I would love to be capable of duplicate myself, but I'm unique. You go to the one in France, obviously, yeah? Yeah, usually in France, well. Depends if you're home. Yeah, you know, that is interesting, is. The way we organize, the way we organize in Europe, is I really want the local leaders to be the ones managing their countries. Yeah. I'm there to support. I'm not there to be, you know, yeah, the big boss is coming, he's saying, no, it's not that. Again, if they request me to come, if they want me to pass a message to certain types of customer partners, I'll do that. But I don't want to run the show. It's not the way I managed it. Yeah, I get that. You want to respect that, is if you show up in France, and that's your home country, it's like Ratmere showing up here, taking over the stage. It would be like, you know, it's our turn. But it's just like, you know, I'll give you another example. Obviously, we have, it's even the headquarters, the AMA headquarters in France, right? But it is the French office. And I don't go there. I try not to be there, because it is the place for the French people taking care of the French market, for the French manager. If I go there, everybody's going to come and ask me questions, and ask me to make decisions and things. No, they have to run their business. So where do you spend your, where and how do you spend your time? In airports and in planes. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Of course. Do you have another question? Yeah. Actually, if we have time really quickly, just on that subject of sovereignty, you know, we're here in Nevada, just across the border, California. People in California have no problem at all replicating things here for disaster recovery because it's in the US. Now, is there a, is there a, is there sort of a cultural sense that tearing down those borders from a sovereignty perspective within Europe would fundamentally change the business climate and maybe tilt things in favor of the AWS and GCPs of the world instead of local regional business? The joke that I heard recently from someone, I thought it was funny. I don't know if it'll defend either Germans or French, but it was that, it was that AWS was confused and they were planning on putting a data center in Strasbourg because they thought it was in Germany. And it was the, This is a bad joke. The point is, the point is it's a dumb American, it's a, is it true?  This was told by a French person. Basically, you know. But this person was certainly not from Alsace. Yes. Because that would have been a very bad one. But the point is this idea that you have these mega hyper clouds coming in and saying, okay, boom, we're putting one here and you're going to use us regardless of the country you're in. How does that, is there a push within the EU to tear those barriers down or are those sovereignty walls enjoyed by the majority because of the way that it changes the business climate? Any thoughts from that perspective? Oh yeah, yeah. To me, it's very simple. It is a hybrid thing. That means that these big hyperscalers are there. They're not going to be used by what they do is they're going to partition themselves and work with these local people so that their big thing appears as being independent, smaller data centers. That's the only thing. You build a house and then you put walls between the different rooms. That's the only thing that happens. So it's not at all a no at all to Azure, the FDS or Google Cloud. No, it's not that. It just means that there is a structural organization that has to be put in place in order that the data resides in given geographical locations. Using their infrastructures, their technologies. Does it make sense? Yeah, yeah, except that it puts them in the position of having to have a physical presence in each place, which is advantageous in one way and maybe less efficient in another. Yeah, but there are some big markets. Yeah, and they eventually got to get there, right? I mean, yeah. They started it, one place in the world where they really started was in ANZ. At least what they did, what, five, six, seven years ago, they put their data centers over there because they wanted to gain the Australian market and the New Zealand market. It's a build it and they will come. Daniel, thanks so much for coming to the very interesting conversation. It's a pleasure. Thank you very much. All right, we're wrapping up day two at Veeamon 2022. Keep it right there, Dave and I will be back right after this break.


GO!


So, for my poem, I've often thought about how a child developing in the womb is on a kind of journey, and it's her own journey, it's almost solitary in a way, she doesn't know that we're all out here waiting for her to arrive. And it seems sometimes a little like the kind of journey that a migrating bird or animal might make where every individual is travelling a route by instinct and it's the same route that every member of her species has travelled before her and will in the future for generation after generation. So this little poem is at the end of my book, Corona Radiata, and it's called Homing. The child knows the way. She is flying with the stars, a dipper tracking her destination by the dipper swing around the pole. The sun is her compass rose, golden dial rising, wind on her cheek, scribble of coastline far below. Magnetic lines of force draw her on, earth slow rhythms laboring in her veins. She signals to her mother, sends whispers across the call, like the scent of water in a salmon's gills. It is time, it is time, it is now. She battles upstream the fling of self against the urgent flow of time through the constricted tunnel of the present towards the act of birth. Then last long heave of muscle, at last the downy head appears the crowning skull. The burns near hang, the midwife says rejoicing, reaching through the pain to catch the slippery creature in the world's meshed hands. There, there, she says again, the burns come hang. Thank you all. That is wonderful. Thank you, Alice. When Alice read this out to me before, I immediately said you have no idea how you have expressed what Midwifery and childbirth is all about. It's, this so describes the feelings that we all feel every time we're honored to be there during the process of birth. So thank you so very much, Alice. And I highly recommend to everybody that you download Alice's Corona Radiata book. I've looked through and read some of the poems myself already. They are beautiful. The link is on the website. So thank you so much. Thank you.


Ozzie is a cutting-edge new media company, started as an online magazine, now has grown into television shows, top-tier podcasts, and I think the coolest festival anywhere, Ozzie Fest. Being in Silicon Valley makes us bolder. It's funny, I think if we were in New York or L.A., I think we would compare ourselves only to other media companies, and that's got a certain level of ambition, but I think when you're in the valley and you're around, you know, whatever's the latest new company, you realize how much bolder you could be. You realize that you could think differently about who you hire, about how you create your offerings and your services, about how you pay people, about how you market, about how you partner, and so I would love to believe that part of what Ozzie does is help people see outside their bubble. Ozzie Fest, I think it's the coolest festival anywhere. People have described it as Ted Leeds Coachella. Alex Rodriguez, A-Rod is one of my partners and a co-host for Ozzie Fest. He often says it's the best block party in town, so I like that too. I'd say it is pretty different this year. I mean, last year we welcomed 20,000 people to the festival. This year we'll welcome 100,000, so it's 5X. Last year we were in a smaller space, the summer stage within Central Park. This year we're in the great lawn. It means that we're allowed to do more. We can do larger activations for a Hulu or for a Showtime, and it also means that maybe here's one of the most important things that we're doing. We're able to capture more data this year. When I worked in television, I worked at CNBC, at MSNBC, at CNN, and I found a lot of the work we do in news is often kind of repetitive. We'll talk about the same four or five stories all day long. For a lot of the brands, they've got the same issue, which is it's cluttered, it's noisy. You need kind of live events and really high quality, and so with our brands, we not only do things at the festival, but maybe more importantly, unlike a TED or a Coachella, Ozzy Fest is part of a larger media company, right? And so we can do work at the festival, and we can do work on the other side of it as well. So I think a lot of folks like that, and I think they like the data capture element of it as well, that we're gathering a lot of information for them about which millennials, which Gen Xers don't just like their products, but actually love them.


If you guys want to be with a chance of winning this resurrection Istanbul and simply drop a like on the video and leave a comment. What's going on guys today I bring you another destiny video and today I bring you the location of a new chest added to the vault of glass. Yes the age of triumph came yesterday the featured red this week is the cruelty's end raid but many people including myself have glitched into the vault of glass to see if anything's changed and it has but I ain't going to go through that in this video today I want to show you the location of a new chest added to the vault of glass now at the moment the actual rewards from this chest ain't anything great but who's to say when the vault of glass is the featured raid that being next week you can't get something else from this who knows okay so you can solo this if you'd like or you could do it in a team of six it's up to you now if you're soloing it like I did you can either do one or two ways you can spawn into the vault of glass you can jump on your sparrow go far right so you load into another actual area sit there for about two or three minutes then go back hopefully the spires would have built for you or you can just straight up just go up to the door with your sparrow and just glitch through it like I do which is probably the easier way plus less time can be assuming once you've done that you want to head down until you come to your first chest you can collect this if you want to you may as fucking well but do you remember when someone found that secret path where you jumped down by this actual chest that's the path you want to take so you want to jump down and follow my lead and you will eventually come to this new hidden secret vault of glass chest now who's to say that they haven't added even more chests to the vault of glass raid we won't find out I'm guessing until next week but if anything does come through obviously you guys will find it here on my channel as I have you covered as per usual so subscribe if you're new around here turn on the notifications so you never miss a video and I will catch you on that next one
