FNN. The morning markets kickoff with your host Tommy O'Brien. Good Monday morning everybody I'm Tommy O'Brien coming to you live from TFNN 9 0 6 a.m. Monday morning we got about 24 minutes to go until the start of trading and we got markets kicking things off in negative territory right now you look at an SMPs little bit of volatility even this morning in both directions right now we're trading down 15 points at 44 46 Nasdaq 100 down 46 points trading 15 thousand and 75 got the Dow off 124 points all the markets when you look at SMPs Nasdaq Nasdaq making all-time high I think now not quite on Friday look how closely we're right up to that level but you have the Dow and the SMP making all-time highs Dow just off that level off 125 points the Russell been the laggard here Russell down half a percent at 22 0 8 crypto is continuing to trade higher we got a 48000 print for Bitcoin last night right now we're technically negative 305 dollars on the session 47395 crude backing off look at that acceleration from $68 to 66 almost this morning right now we're down $2 and 14 cents in crude training at 66 31 get the gold contract catching a little bit of a bid you back things up for gold we'll put it 10 days there's your acceleration last Sunday night gold actually finished check out the weekly folks on gold we got a green bar remarkable action when you look at it let's take off that Fibonacci there's your acceleration Sunday night to 1677 90 you actually finished the week in the positive at a price point a 1717 81 yes and we're pretty much right it's not 178 was the close 1781 50 looks like we're trading pretty much right at that level right now in gold back to a short term chart we jump to notes and bonds a little bit of higher price and lower yield look at that acceleration there we're talking about a yield right now pulling up 1.26 percent now we put this thing back to see last week's action quite a little reversal there finally getting a little bit of a pop you traded from 135 14 two weeks ago Wednesday down to 130 309 more than two full points that was the low on Wednesday we get some CPI data not quite as hot as maybe you thought the market a little bit of lower yield than we're thinking 1.26 percent a little bit of a reversal from that action we had over the last two weeks in the tenure and we jumped to the volatility index this morning a little bit of negative action we're going to jump in the VIX to 1720 so far this morning all right in terms of the news out there what's happening some pretty sensational images unfortunate what's happening over there in Afghanistan in terms of the airport Kabul just taken over almost instantly after departure unfortunately that's gotten political 20 years remarkable that war is going on a bunch of bad options over there in terms of that is that is the scenario in my opinion but remarkable images in terms of the airport getting taken over I saw some images this morning of planes getting out of there with actually people literally hanging off them just craziness hopefully that saw itself for the best a tough deal over there but those images really shocking in every way as I was watching all right let's jump right into the stocks that are moving this morning now we get a lot of retail earnings this morning already excuse me this week we get retail earnings this week we'll go over those we get target walmart walmart I'll get there some others this morning sonos check this out surging more than 10 percent the maker of speakers there's a pop for you trades from 38 to 43 43 overnight the back to 42 23 you're still up more than four dollars more than 10 pop that having to do with an international trade commission judge ruling that alphabets google unit had infringed on some of the high-end speaker companies audio technology patents which could eventually lead to an import ban for some pixel smartphones and nest audio speakers yikes we'll jump over to google google unfazed google barely negative we're going to open at about 2750 you're trading 2754 google and one of the strongest companies out there man the the youtube I mean let alone controlling google which is by far and rightfully so the search domain for the internet I mean nobody can catch up with him whether it's microsoft or what not but then you cycle over to youtube which is a huge portion of their business and youtube is its own content creator I mean that company alone when there was all the concerns over antitrust etc we're talking about 100 percent from where we were in september you back things up for the weekly you were down to a thousand on the covert lows but if you recall I believe it was about september last year so you're going back about 11 months now antitrust concerns really started to rise up you went from 1726 you pulled back to 1402 and from there you take off and you've pulled back uh accelerate 100 percent of that equity we all know online sales right advertising whether it's google whether it's facebook just accelerating dramatically more eyeballs online on your phone receiving content in that form folks I go down the youtube rabbit hole many times outside of business hours just in a recreational aspect right whether it's health and fitness whether it's cooking whether it's just any type of a podcast type that interests me maybe people do in interviews just so many great programs on youtube that's just going to be a strong one for a while now man you go from 1400 to 2800 you better believe that there could be a pullback I mean this was a one-way shot I got a three-year weekly up here folks we talk about it all the time you want to blow your mind I mean just look what a 382 would do to this equity which would just be a normal retracement you're talking about a $500 pullback potentially on google now that's putting it on a weekly okay but you put it on a daily let's take it off again to see the run this is basically a one-way shot there is almost no pullback on this chart going from 1400 last September so be careful on youtube on youtube on google couldn't be stronger on on that equity but when you have barely a $100 pullback when you trade from 1400 to 2800 and you're not talking about a company that's maybe worth you know a few billion dollars doubling in value you're talking about a company that was worth almost one trillion dollars they were worth 900 billion dollars when they started that run and now they're worth 1.8 trillion dollars remarkable those companies all right let's jump around to other equities are moving this morning uh team mobile so this one uh wireless carrier said it's investigating claims and I'm going to pull up I was reading an article about this earlier and while I'm reading this I'm going to try and find this article because I think it's being peddled from only $270,000 on the probably the dark web uh it's investigating claims in an online forum of a data breach that involves the personal data of over 100 million users you read that correctly you heard it correctly the post itself doesn't mention team mobile but vice media quotes the purported hackers saying the data came from team mobile services uh and when you pull it up and I'm trying to find it if I get it in time I believe the number was 270,000 that they are trying to peddle for that come on where's my article I got my history up here here we go uh and the article goes investigating claims of data breach and there it is the anonymous seller reportedly seeking six bitcoin six bitcoin for uh data belonging to 30 million they talk about here could be as high as 100 million though uh the data breach if confirmed could affect nearly every team mobile customer in the u.s uh the telecom company reported about 105 million users t m us is their symbol now this thing has been a rocket ship in a big way this morning you're going to be down about 2% on that number there you go from 145 you touch 140 you're trading at 141 50 I expect maybe we'll look for some news from them in the future uh maybe they deny it not sure it's speculative right now you put this thing on a three-year weekly my goodness right talk about a run folks 60 bucks to start off 2019 you're at about 80 bucks to start off 2020 you dive down to a covid low of 63 50 you pull back early this year to 115 you're gonna open today about 140 pretty remarkable uh the discussion in terms of 100 million potentially 270 thousand dollars maybe a social security number isn't quite what it used to be worth on the dark web stay tuned folks we'll be right back golden ratios give shape to everything in our world

investor you were born to be tfnn educating investors folks we got markets in negative territory we got about 11 minutes to go until the start of trading for the week we got the s&p's negative by about 14 points all things considered bumping up near all-time highs those highs made friday and look at the acceleration we got even in the volume they're coming into the close right final five minutes the market plows higher to 44 63 in the s&p's you jump over to the dow we look where we are a little bit of a different action in the dow right there's your closing action on the dow didn't quite even make it back up let me zoom back out didn't quite make it we'll zoom in on friday's action back to the open that we had on the dow nasdaq 100 though jump over there there's your friday action just missed the high that we had early in the day we're just off those levels and the russell has been the laggard as we talked about okay jumping around to some of the companies are moving this morning we're going to jump to chipotle so chipotle gets a lowering of their rating from raymond james important to go about the context though outperform from strong buy entirely based on the fact of valuation after the stocks risen 37 percent recently you pulled up cmg chipotle mexican grill excuse me you are gonna it looks like it might be a little bit lower this morning we have a bit ask of 1856 by 1880 remarkable price action on this equity we'll put it on a three-year weekly and as you see i mean this thing was just trading at 1320 in june it's just august folks and we're trading at almost 1900 let alone you were at almost 400 on the lows last year you came into 2020 just above 800 on chipotle they are doing a lot of things right though i uh anecdotally i ordered some mose which is definitely competitive to chipotle this weekend not a great experience it was mose would decide to pick up took forever uh just wasn't a great experience and i said to myself you know it was saturday night i think i think it was saturday night this is gonna be busy right and they just had too much action they weren't servicing it well you couldn't get the food as compared to chipotle's they're building those chipotle lanes and i have no chipotle folks i have no shares of it i should have some 1800 um but you just see the differential and the separation with some of those companies and how it matters when you have choices like that and you go through a bad experience especially when the company is just not set up to handle demand spurs that they have like a saturday night dinner demand you got a bunch of people order and pick up you can't service those people there are cars they're waiting they don't have enough spots for curbside pickup right they don't even have enough spots you compare that to chipotle which is building a lot of their restaurants with lanes specifically just for pickup for online orders you can't even order in the lane you have to order online and pick it up uh anyway it's just uh you see the separation um the other side of that that is chipotle and i don't know how this factors works so i order food on uber eats most of the time when i do i do have door dash as well chipotle gets away with charging like nine dollars for delivery somehow around me now i'm in uh towards the center of florida more so than the coast maybe it's just a sparse uh scarcity thing of drivers but the other restaurants ain't doing that somehow they've created a premium for chipotle nine dollars to deliver it which is part of the reason why we went to most and just decided to pick up said that's a little bit of an ornament but you know what wasn't the best experience something to keep in mind because they get a lowering of their rating but only because the stock has just gone so high so quickly chipotle you know investing in the future right now for online ordering folks our tendencies have shifted dramatically now it's part of the reason why i do own uber uh now uber has been struggling we're going to get a positive open today to about 41 uh no it's down another 40 cents with the market okay i thought that said 4282 you take a look at this thing now we are back let's put it through a three-year weekly to see the full run we've had you'd break to a low of 1371 on covid you drive up to 6405 things really accelerate in november the news of the vaccines you've pulled back almost entirely folks to a world where we didn't even know that vaccines were going to be effective in this now yes there are breakthrough cases of the vaccine that you can transmit the virus but folks the people ending up in the hospital's majority of them are people who are unvaccinated i tie that together because does uber deserve to be back at a price and we're not back there yet and hopefully it doesn't but we're approaching levels folks where i may even add to this position because you're telling me that you're going to come back to a level that is going to be before the world had any efficacy data for the vaccines which is a price tag of approaching 36 dollars in october of last year we had uber chopping around basically between about 32 and 37 we're trading at 42 we're going to open under 42 this morning for uber shares and yes they're struggling travel is struggling in a big way business use of that struggling in a big way but during that time they've accelerated their food delivery business dramatically their ride-sharing business has suffered eventually we will get over these you know the resurgent whether it's the third wave whether it's the fourth wave depending where we are in the world because uber does service the whole world which is what part of the reason that's weighing on them right now even though cases in the u.s. are some of the harshest out there especially in florida but something to keep our eye on you know you start approaching those levels that we're talking about prior to the vaccine data that is a level i'm very comfortable with on uber unfortunate we've pulled back i mean you're talking about almost a 33 percent pullback on this equity we're under the 382 so that's some dicey territory we'll see where we go and they are going to struggle worldwide on their ride delivery ride-sharing business in a big way but the world is changing and food delivery is the way to go in the future and that is not going away anytime soon and you're seeing it with chipotle and their price shares which was why we jumped over and let's jump over to door dash too while we're talking about it look at door dash just from 110 back there in may and they weren't even public were they yeah they were not even public back in last november just went public in december 2020 quite a little pop though from 110 to 195 recently still you got that acceleration high back in january of 256 for door dash okay let's jump down the line of other equities are moving this morning uh coinbase so we got the cryptos charging higher you got coinbase higher with the cryptos as well bitcoin now coinbase barely higher you're talking about two dollars higher to 263 we take a look at bitcoin btc bitcoin 47 000 quite the pop we've got let's take this wibonacci number off here now we remove that 47 150 you look from where we were on the high you're right at a 50 percent retracement there on that equity um equity on bitcoin that would be 47 150 within 100 dollars that price point of the 50 percent retracement 47 000 we were just under 30 000 though the week of july 19th you're talking about in 30 days you trade from under 30 000 to 47 000 50 and i think it's ethereum there we go there's ethereum quite the pop as well 32 82 for ethereum the high was 4406 before it fell out of bed but you were just trading at 17 15 back there in the same week from 17 15 i mean that's almost a 100 percent pop you're up 1500 1600 dollars from that low of 1700 on ethereum all the cryptos really accelerating higher but man you look at it right i got weekly bars up here one two three four the fifth week this would be that we're pushing in green bars back to bitcoin btc and you're talking about the same thing let me take that off for some clarity and you're talking about one two three four the fifth straight week that we've been rising uh you know bitcoin can do it but man even if this is a pop anytime you go from 30 000 to 47 anytime you go from 1700 to 3500 3200 what do we trade net 3200 ethereum the pullbacks can be harsh i mean set this up on a daily to see the pop we've had just looking at a natural retracement in bitcoin and you're talking about down to 40 885 and maybe that's where it does pullback that's an area where you pulled back initially at the end of july before you accelerated higher again nonetheless volatility persists in bitcoin the big way all right let's jump around to see what we got going on as we come into the open here we got the s&p on a daily basis we are just creeping higher on that up channel that i keep bringing up well-defined channel to the upside we're pushing 44 50 in the s&p's right now remarkable and you think we got three and a half months left to go in the year right now we're sitting in 44 50 that's a lot of trading left in the year as we come in could there be some tax selling at the end of this year definitely possible tax rates possible they're going to go up folks uh something to consider as this market just plows higher even in the face of many jobs to make up in that economy stay tuned folks we'll be right back from the market open are you having

think or swim banner on the front page of tfnn.com welcome back folks we've got markets open we get the s&p's right now negative by about 12 points that's about a quarter percent of 44 50 tech stocks slightly in the red by about a quarter percent as well trading at 15,086 for the nasdaq 100 we get the dow catching a little bit of a bit on the open still down about a quarter percent as well rustle though leading the way a little bit of divergence as in rustle the laggard as usual off a half a percent at 22.07 we jump around to what else is going on tesla slightly in the red with the market today but a little bit more you're down 1.6 percent so tesla they're going to be dealing with an investigation a formal probe you have the national highway traffic safety administration announcing in the action monday and a posting on its website so they're investigating i believe it's the auto uh what do they got here yes the autopilot partially automated driving system that's not a mouthful uh saying it had trouble spotting parked emergency vehicles that seems to be a big one to to put it lightly right 11 crashes just since 2018 in which tesla's on autopilot or traffic aware cruise control have hit vehicles with flashing lights flares and illuminated arrow board or cone warning of hazard it covers model yx s and three from 2014 to 2021 years the agency has sent investigative teams to 31 crashes involving partially automated driver assist systems since june of 2016 they can keep a vehicle centered in its lane and a safe distance from vehicles in front of it of those 25 involved autopilot in which 10 deaths were reported my interpretation of this though is that this is not going to be a dramatic impact on tesla the technology marches on and not that it's the cost to do in business because lives never should be but you're looking at a company that is defining technology whether it's battery technology self-driving technology ai and as it gets adapted to greater wide use there is that potential and hopefully those regulators get their hands on it because it doesn't seem like tesla would be the company to self-regulate on this one and this may be the first step of it i don't think it really matters in the valuation though as these are obstacles that will be priced into this equity as it plows forward you're still down 2.1 percent me see no real reaction when you think about the severity of that type of an investigation what it could imply in terms of selling a product with a system that says itself driving that plows you into emergency vehicles i mean understand that fundamentally for a second could you imagine if you or i started a business selling devices that could help your car drive itself and all of a sudden they could spot emergency vehicles and somehow that's just taken as fact that that is what tesla is doing but that is where we are and that is how the market's interpreting it and that is what matters most when you look at um one of those equities still down 2.1 percent but man we're back to just where we were trading on thursday tech stocks catching a little bit of a bid down only one tenth percent right now trading at 15,099 what else we got going on uh let's see what i got up here so let's jump into some of the um some of the earnings we got going on why not so we'll start it off on tuesday so in terms of what we get tuesday the headline number there is going to be walmart now we have some walmart in my newsletter rocket equities and options if you want to check it out folks on the newsletter tab on the front page tfnn.com all the newsletters we have at tfnn come with a 30 day money back guarantee for new subscribers walmart has been on quite a tear recently now we've had it for a bit of my newsletter we had to ride some negative action recently but this thing's just popped from 135 to 150 you're up 15 bucks just since we were trading basically in the last month that's an 11 or 12 pop in a company like walmart that's got a dividend out there to boot as well you're trading at 150 you take a look at the analyze tab they got an expected move about four dollars and 70 cents on their numbers now we'll look at the trades in terms of for the week it's implied volatility of about five dollars and 70 cents so it's pretty cool right that you know if you're in the option market the option market through the type of volatility that they're pricing in to the options are expecting about a four dollar and 70 cent move that it's going to be triggered tonight and then tomorrow for the remainder of the week once we have those numbers once we have that variable taken out of the equation there's still going to be about a dollar give or take in the week and that is correlating to if you want to go out one week further you can pay about a buck 20 extra in terms of what you're paying for implied volatility numbers going out to maybe whether it's august 27th you want to go out to two weeks sometimes folks what's your what's your bias right do you want to give yourself just this week on the earnings do you want to give yourself a couple weeks do you want to go out months etc and you see those types of implied moves so walmart they're out with their numbers pulling up the earnings yes it is tomorrow they'll be out with their numbers four dollars and 70 cents interesting to see what they have to talk about in terms of walmart they have a lot going on of course they got walmart plus they have sam's club my history is they they they got to step up the process folks we do have them they're a tremendous company in terms of we have them my newsletter i own them myself of course but they have to improve their process just as a shopper we uh we did a order at we ordered um a bunch of items at walmart over the weekend and it was going to be a delivery and we thought it was going to be free and all of a sudden there's an eight dollar delivery charge it was over 35 bucks i don't think we have walmart plus in my household it's tough to keep track of all the subscriptions at some point um that you do have nonetheless it was not a great experience i've i've been through sam's which we have which is you know their wholesaler again some of the items not showing up as good as they should have been um they need to improve some of their processes and part of what had hurt walmart when you back it up to maybe a year ago in november part of their earnings and i think it may maybe it was even the february one was talking about they really needed to spend some money to improve their processes when you got to compete with amazon you better be spending money because amazon they get it done folks and i own amazon too they get it done in a big way and that's your competitor you know you got beautiful new boxes showing up and yes i agree boxes if they could use recycle boxes that would be great as well but user experience new chris boxes i've had boxes show up from sam's that look like they've been used for 17 years and they got tape all over them it's okay i guess but things literally almost falling out of the box sometimes it's just the process needed to improve so they there is volatility i'm a bull on that but there is volatility going into that earnings because they're competing with amazon they have to spend a lot of money that money to compete with amazon might hurt the bottom bottom line but we'll see as they trade higher yet again and on negative market day you got walmart giving back some of those gains quickly but you get a pop on the open still up about two tenths percent right now as they have their numbers tomorrow also what we get tomorrow is home depot a little bit of isa versa they're trading lower with the market now you take a look at home depot on a daily basis right you're at 246 back in march you charge to 345 you pull back almost a 50 percent i've had this on my radar as well home depot and those tremendous companies as well quite the resurgence lately as you trade from under 300 as recently as just about two months ago june 18th you push up to almost 340 now home depot you're talking about an eight dollar and 42 cent move you have a 328 dollar stock we take a look at the weekly basis you want to go for the full week as you can see playing with some example trades there uh 11 dollars and 16 cents so not that bad you know you're talking about under a three percent move on this equity priced in three percent would be almost ten dollars on this equity so you got about a two and a half percent move priced into the equity for options it's really what you want to consider folks because if you're this you're the one selling volatility right you're only getting paid for an expected move of eight dollars and 42 cents if you think this has more volatility than that then maybe you're the ones who's going to be paying the implied volatility number uh nonetheless home depot with their numbers uh we also get crispy cream tomorrow breaking down the analysis now we get fed minutes out this week as well jump into wednesday we also not only do we get retailers um but we get some of the chip stocks we get cisco out with their numbers on wednesday i believe checking it out let's see earnings there it is yes cisco's out with their numbers on wednesday you're talking about almost a two dollar move for a fifty six dollar equity we get maybe the one that will be most watched this week potentially navidia out with their numbers talking about a nine dollar move for a two hundred dollar stock they're out wednesday as well we get target we get lows on wednesday we'll take a look at those as well when we come back from retailers stay tuned folks we're right back are you in the market for buying or selling real estate in

to see the real action since the open you hang tough for about two minutes since then we've sold off coming down we're about down excuse me down about 20 points dows down about 211 look at that on a minute basis accelerating to under 35 200 just since the open we're down about 120 points on the Dow right now back to a five minute basis terms of other equities we have with earnings going on this week Wednesday as we talked about we got lows and target on Wednesday now we just pulled up Home Depot right there's your let's put a daily on Home Depot to compare so you have that real acceleration March to May we pull back into late June and then we pop higher lows you pull up LOW a little bit of a different story right you see not quite the same second pop that you got in Home Depot the lows we have back in June you're 184 you're pushing 189 right now on lows you did have the run from 150 to 215 you put this thing on a three-year weekly though watch out we were down at $60 which is probably why you haven't seen that second acceleration as it factors in because you take a look at Home Depot not quite the same multiples not quite the same multiples but pretty drastic as I do pull it up talking about 140 at the lows we were down at 250 earlier this year back to a 15 whoops back to a 15 minute for lows to see the type of action we're expecting now they're out with their numbers on Wednesday to see where we're talking about I believe they are before the bell two to be exact let's pull it up on Wednesday and yes progressive yes it is so lows is going to be pre-market on Wednesday with their numbers that's going to be the same with target they'll be pre-market on Wednesday we get TJ max pre-market on Wednesday we got a big week of earnings this week it's a nice week Larry President don't want to talk about he's got a live trading webinar five hours coming up on Thursday but so we get a lot of earnings there's lows jumping over the analyze tab you're talking about an $8 and 65 cent move that's more than a 4% move priced into this equity on their numbers coming out we take a look at target as well target you're talking about almost a 5% move 45% move $258 equity we got an $11 move in target you take a look at target down about 1.1% does it today to start off the day this thing though my goodness I mean you could make the case that it actually accelerated above its channel line recently as a recently as June July 1st excuse me you back it up to a three-year weekly this thing it's just been quite a rocket ship you were down about 100 bucks at the lows of COVID you're pushing 258 all-time highs potentially last week not potentially $267.06 for target so they have as I said about $11 move priced into their equities coming out Wednesday before the bell as well let's take a look at TJ Maxx because they'll be out Wednesday before the bell as well TJ Maxx $2 and 66 cent move taking a look at the earnings yesterday is Wednesday they'll be out as well all right in terms of what we have happening jump into Thursday real quick before we jump over to our man Larry Pezzamento Thursday the numbers we're talking about jumping down the line so we had Home Depot Tuesday lows on Wednesday Cisco excuse my reach here we go Thursday Macy's that's the one I want to get you to finish up so Macy's now this thing so much for that channel line let's delete that one because we ain't in that channel line anymore whoops we want to remove that drawing we're going to remove this one as well move the top line let's put it back to a daily so this equity was just up to 20 you cook all that the upper boundary right going all the way back to basically the beginning of the year now Macy's that could have been a little bit of reddit craziness I believe when you ran from 12 to 22 in the span of four days you get back almost all that in the span of four days as well back to $14 you did run up again I think that's a Wall Street bets run as well be careful of those on the charts not exactly rational chart behavior but you got to keep it on your radar folks because man they could always happen again but Macy's 1868 we're down about 1.2% we'll be coming into their numbers on Thursday you're talking about a dollar 53 the expected move there from Macy's interesting when you look at it that's quite a move but rightfully so as a volatility on that equity has been big and the other equities I want to go over that are out and these are going to be illiquid equities okay folks Victoria's Secret and Bath and Body Works they were the same company they spun off Victoria's Secret now I own these equities I've had for a while going all the way back to pre COVID and I owned them from Victoria's Secret more so than Bath and Body Works Bath and Body Works was the juggernaut of earnings for this company Victoria's Secret was the laggert they were trying to spin it off to get rid of it because it was hurting the value of Bath and Body Works excuse me during the last year though they've cut costs they've closed doors they did spin it off but check out the divergence now this spin off occurred in August and you had this thing start trading at 47 and right away the market says guess what we're valuing the Victoria's Secret component of this company dramatically higher than maybe was foreseen when you made the calculation of the valuation of the two equities within that company you trade from 47 up to 76 we've held near there now you look at the one day expected move for these now illiquid I am not trading these folks I do not plan on trading them I imagine the options in a company like Victoria's Secret okay to do the full wrap up we're talking about a company right now that's only valued at 6.2 billion dollars we take a look at the chart okay on a daily basis we're talking about only 1.8 million shares traded okay very illiquid when you get into an option of an equity that's only trading a million shares of the equity you get into the options okay now they I believe you're talking about yes they only have monthlies to begin with that would make sense and even these are going to be illiquid I mean look at a $70 put or $70 let's see a $70 call you have a $1.60 wide bid ask okay do not trade them but the point is there's a lot of volatility priced into this equity folks you got a $7 move on a $70 stock you got a 10% move priced into this equity but you should because if you're the one selling volatility you just traded from 48 up to 70 bucks you're going to demand some premium if you're going to be the one selling a defined risk trade to somebody for $70 equity that can move $5, 10, $15 in a heartbeat in either direction on their first quarter for numbers coming out today excuse me Wednesday Wednesday Victoria's Secret and we get Bath and Body Works out with their numbers as well now you can see the spin off there there you go from 82 and I believe that was the split off okay that's not a drop in value that's going to be I believe that company spitting off Victoria's Secret but even since then you were up at $66 on August 3rd and you've given back 10% to the equity of that company down to $60 right now and they're going to be coming out with the numbers as well and you're talking about $3.84 move priced into it and you jump over to the earnings tab and there it is they'll be out with their numbers on Wednesday as well all right in terms of what else we have going on jumping back to some of the headlines we have going on back to crypto because it's interesting here number one we have and I have this article up for the first time you have crypto rising to $2 trillion we talked about some of the runs that some of the equities equities some of the cryptos have had $2 trillion for the first time now what's interesting is you wouldn't think that it's at highs when you have bitcoin well off the highs to $65,000 I mean bitcoin was trading above $47,000 for a period from May all the way back to February you're talking about three full months but what you have to consider folks is you have many other coins in Ethereum much closer to the highs that we had a $4,400 but that means that you have other coins that are just dramatically rifling higher to have a market capitalization above $2 trillion which we had never seen prior help push the value of the entire crypto market above $2 trillion Saturday first time since mid-May okay okay shame on me so that's that that doesn't mean the exact thing I wonder what the record is for that entire value well nonetheless we'll pull it up think Ethereum folks that would have been a heck of a buy down here at some of the lows not sure it's going to get back down there but we're going to talk about Ethereum when we get back one more final time don't forget about Larry Pezzavento folks live Thursday 9 a.m. till 2 p.m. for a live trading webinar we're going to talk about that when I get back as well stay tuned sharpening your skills as an

What's good Josh you brought back again with another video. So Ronda Rousey kind of went after the WWE fan base recently We had to talk about this it involves Bray Wyatt and just how fickle the WWE fans can get and I'm gonna create a discussion from what she said so I didn't watch raw I watched clips of raw on on YouTube because I just didn't feel like watching raw and From what I can tell and what other people have recorded videos of and talked about on their channels as well is pretty much Chicago fans Chicago WWE fans. They took over raw man. They hijacked raw They were basically Letting WWE know how they felt about Bray Wyatt being released there was a we want riot chance throughout the show and Ronda Rousey had something to say about this, you know it for me I thought it was a a good moment to see the fans vocalizing their their This pleasure of WWE releasing Bray Wyatt. So I'm gonna check out this tweet because Ronda was definitely not not letting the WWE fans make it I've seen some I've seen you same fans chanting We want riot last night chanting.  I get the point. She's trying to make but I don't know about this one I don't our Can WWE fans be fickle? Yes, can they be you see what saw my hat toxic at times? Yes, I mentioned that some of the fans were going after Alexa Bliss because they felt like she took took the fiends gimmick And this is the reason why he's not in the company no more. That's toxic Don't go out to people who would literally just doing their job. You know I'm saying like That's all I'm saying you feel me like that's not necessary, but when it comes to Fans of voicing their opinion They're displeasure on certain things That that's always been WWE now the match. She's talking about some people have found the match I believe Bray was going against Matt Hardy in his broken gimmick at the time and I don't think a lot of people really was caring for it because at this point Bray was pretty much At the end of his booking life in I guess you could say because he wasn't really winning matches He wasn't really winning feuds in hindsight the broken gimmick versus Bray Wyatt broken Matt Hardy versus Bray Wyatt soundly good on paper, but it wasn't executed, right? That's the problem WWE have failed Bray Wyatt time and time again Creatively so you can't expect people to care about a match in a feud when you know One of the people in the feud ain't really good at winning feuds because he barely wins feud like So part of that goes to WWE. I can get it people's you know Saying oh, you know, this shouldn't be you know, he shouldn't be chanting that It's the fans the crowd was bored and this I don't think it had anything to do with Bray or Matt It's just it just didn't jail as well as people thought it was so I get her point there But then they'll be like, oh well, it's because of fans us fans That's why WWE let him go. No, it wasn't because of the fans It was simply because of budget cuts that WWE likes to use from time to time Wasn't because the fans didn't like him like the fans Enjoyed his new gimmick even though I was starting to get sour on it because of once again the bookings It wasn't because of Bray Wyatt. It wasn't because of the person himself He has done everything he can to revitalize his career to make that character work It's WWE's lack of creative booking that have screwed him And I think Rhonda feels this way because she felt at first hand. She thought she was just gonna get cheered all the time You guys remember that when she first came people was loving her but then Becky Lynch became the hot flavor of the month and people got People could see what was happening People saw what was happening here Rhonda becoming pretty much the new Roman Reigns at the time They're just gonna push Rhonda, which I get it. She's a top act But Becky became over so at that point it didn't really matter people didn't really care about Rhonda as much They wanted to see Becky They wanted to see Becky obtain the greatness to obtain the title, you know saying and she didn't know how to handle that She didn't understand why the fans just turned on her You guys remember when Charlotte Flair beat the living crap out of her and Charlotte was a heel and people were chanting Thank You Charlotte. That's because People were tired. They they they switched. They did flop. They they flip flopped on her. You know saying they they preferred Becky they didn't really too much Rhonda was cool But they prefer Becky and that's kind of what it is sometimes in WWE it The fans can be fickle, but that doesn't make them ungrateful You know, I don't think they're idiots because they they chose not to cheer you anymore That's just what it is in wrestling. Hence you got a calling audible in the back All right, well the fans are not really liking you for some reason though So we're gonna have to turn you heel to give them a reason to hate you. That's what happens Simple as that you feel me so and Rhonda had some pretty fan pretty good matches for someone that's not You know well versed in like WWE style wrestling she came in and she held her own She was she had some pretty good matches. So I will say that But I think her take here it stems not just from the Bray Wyatt situation I think it just stems from the fact that she's dealt with it first hand how the fans turned on her And she didn't like that. So she's always been bitter to WWE fans and now she's kind of going out You know lashing out on Twitter on some.  No, no if anybody Wanted Bray to succeed. It was the majority of the the hardcore wrestling fans It's just there's only so much you can care about someone if they don't get booked correctly And that's what this all boils down to Fans can be fickle fans can be wishy-washy But ultimately it comes down to the booking and if the booking is trash and the booking has been Consistently trashed for a character or hasn't been great like it should have been or hasn't even been moderately good sometimes Like he doesn't win the important matches He doesn't win the important fuse when he needs to and then you Continuously end up burying him or have him lose to part-timers like Goldberg or have him lose the few to Randy Orton In a most ridiculous way where he loses his powers to Alexa Bliss at some point and never to be seen again, of course people Of course people are not gonna care as much And like I said a lot of people were just really shocked by this because Bray even though he wasn't getting booked correctly like he should have he was still Charismatic he was still an interesting character. So comment down below. Let me know Do you guys agree with me when well? I'm not agree with me But agree with Ronda Rousey. Do you guys agree with her tweet here?  She's she's kind of off on this on her point here and feel like she may have you know May have you know had some personal bias because of her time in WWE and how the fans ultimately turned on there Comment down below. Let me know, but I appreciate all the love to support. We are almost at 50k. So appreciate y'all running up the subscriptions and Yeah, man, appreciate y'all kicking in with me and I see y'all on the next one. Peace


Hey guys, it's Robin. I've never done this before This is a live video and I'm back here in the back with the cat Look, I know a lot of you are distressed about when the blizzard happened. I left the cat. So let me explain I am a cat lover. I would never do anything to endanger the cat Some of you might agree with my decision But let me tell you that video was 33 minutes and I edited it down to 15 so that you guys could Actually watch it without losing your minds. So when the storm got really bad I was being lifted up off the ground the boy was back here burrowed in some blankets and I do have a carrier. I got out the carrier I was going to take him with me, but you guys he would have been blown out of my hands Literally, it would have been so much more dangerous For me to take him into that bathroom. So I chose not to do it. It was a conscious choice Here's my reasoning and I know that some of you are going to yell But if I open the door First of all, the carrier is meshed and he would have gotten blown in the wind and he would have probably blown out of my hands I had two metal doors blow off their hinges as soon as I stepped out the door Plus I was going to be right up the street and my rationale is this if I flipped over With both of us in here, there could be a crack in the side I could be unconscious and he could get out if it tipped over and I was up the street I could still come and save him.  I felt like I was gonna flip But the most danger I put myself in was leaving the RV maybe I'm not it's hard to say the RV did move But taking that cat out in a carrier would have been More dangerous in my opinion than leaving him here under the blankets He was asleep, you know, the RV was rocking and at least I knew I could come back and get him If something happened to the RV as long as I was okay So that's the rationale you guys and for everybody else that wanted to know my mom is doing great I'm back on the road. I do have some minor damage in here I found going down the road that I didn't know I had before but we're doing great and for all the cat lovers out There this guy is my best friend. I would never never never do anything to endanger him We were both in a dangerous situation and I had to make a judgment call and that's the call that I made So I hope you're all doing well out there. Thanks for helping me do my first live video. I appreciate all of you I'm gonna get back on the road now. So everybody have happy travels out there and be free


Y'all it is fighting the 13th get out of here We're in a new year 2017, you know since it is a new year. We want to start new trends. What do you think about this trend? I love it. I think that towel do yeah No, I think it like actually goes well because it's like a contrast with your dark hair. Yeah, it's like a highlight Yeah, without dyeing your hair. It's so true. I'll probably do a tutorial on this later But okay, so I went to the gym this morning and I think I'm gonna start doing weekend in my life I think I tried to do it last year But it was like right when vlogmas was starting so it was like Not like a weekend in my life. It was like a day in my life me and charlotte have gone to the gym I wish I could say five days in a row, but yesterday we Went we were gonna go after a meal plan and she was like, you really want to go because I'm really tired And I fell asleep on her bed waiting for her food to digest Digest so we ended up not going but we are trying to start like the Kayla it signs Like workout plan type thing So hopefully it goes well, but I don't know if it we're gonna like stick to it So we'll see I'll update you guys about that. Okay, so funny story.  I went to try to grab it And I knocked over my computer because it was on those like little tiny like pull-out desk things And I didn't even think it hit that hard on the ground And it like didn't even seem like that big of a deal like big of an impact at the time I went to pick up my laptop and opened it up And the screen was like really really messed up It was like all those colorful bars like this screen didn't crack, but nothing happened physically to it But it was like all internally. I just decided to do the I break you fix So I'm with my little we're at Katie. I just got my eyebrows done and I swear the lady here I think her name is Layla. She's at Venus Browse It's an obito. Somebody messed him up back in at Georgia. She understands when I say I want to grow it out She understands. What you doing? programming So I napped all day Surprised I'm not I don't know. I just always like to be around people. So I Decided a live stream because that's technically having people talk to me. I feel like sometimes YouTube doesn't cut it I think that's why I'm so into YouTube because I always like to hear people like talk around me And I just like play it whenever no one's here So me and Charlotte are gonna hang out a little bit later I'm probably just gonna go to her room, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna like Vlog it or anything. Her birthday is actually Tomorrow or like tonight at midnight. That's just a little update. I swear tomorrow will be way better Good thing I'm doing a weekend in my life vlog and not a day in my life vlog because this day would suck Hello It's Charlotte's birthday and T-minus Less than two hours Charlotte's turning 20 and in my mind I thought she was like a lot older than me like she just like feels like more mature than me But it's weird cuz I'm like actually pretty old out of our friend group You know so Charlotte the birthday girl approved of the cookies. They're very good. Hey, do you want like milk or water? No, you have first no, no, I don't wait. Try it first I want to see I want to see if you think it's like that much different because I think wherever we were It's not a bad. Yeah, that's what I thought. Yeah, whatever mirrors it had Sorry, I know she had like some random ass milk and it was like I think it was lactate, but it just like tasted really Bad, but anyways So now she thinks every lactate milk is bad But I'm not even out of the parking garage We are going to Hobbs and then probably stagger well it's Charlotte's birthday 12 We were planning on eating cookies with milk at 12, but you know plans change lactate Lactate milk. I don't know. I'm kind of happy Yeah, we're being spontaneous. Yeah, I feel like we don't do that. Usually someone we do it's like yes, go us Currently 248 and apparently I came in and I like ran to the bathroom And apparently they were sitting here the whole time and I didn't know so I had a really fun time tonight Happy birthday Charlotte. Good morning guys. It is January 14th, and I am filming a video Which is very surprising. I haven't been very motivated lately But Laura has been bugging me to do like an Instagram video and honestly like they got for Laura because like I would really not have any motivation if it was ever I Decided to do like a peachy look and it's gonna be up on my channel unless it like fails Which I don't think it will so you know look out for that because I actually really love how it turned out Love of love like I did not even think I could pull off peach But I did and I'm so happy I used this one obviously you guys are gonna see it in the video But I might as well talk about it now So this is shot by ColourPop and this is boy band by ColourPop. You can see it on my lid I don't know the combination just goes really well together.  We are at first watch I really already ate pretty much I took a nap like an hour nap now I'm gonna change back into my outfit that I was wearing Before and I'm gonna head over to Katie.  It's the elevated X sandwich We made it to Universal How do you feel turning 20? That was a microphone not a fist bump Oh I thought it was a fist bump I feel the same I don't feel older. I feel like those cookies gave you a little bit of like a gray hair You know what I mean? Like when you ate those cookies last night? Yeah, definitely. Yes One of the perks of living in Orlando is that we can get to come to like parks just on random nights, you know And eat food Like Yeah, I know this one's actually just going to look like They need to like do something about their tripod It looks so pretty Yeah, it's like super high quality, too Rachel with her wine and like kids meal so me and charlotte switch to sushi's and she got this what'd you get all married Yeah, it's literally like a burger and a sushi thing and you didn't like it, right What like should I not dip it in any sauce then Good morning guys, it's January 15th, and it's actually not morning. It's 2 p.m.. And I totally forgot to vlog this morning I didn't I wasn't doing that much. I was like on my computer most of it doing a little bit of work and I Just made my breakfast 2 p.m. Yeah lunch actually I don't really get really hungry in the mornings So it's 7 40 p.m. And I finally am getting out of the house for the first time today Which is nice because it's literally locked up in here But me and my little are going to dinner at BJ's I feel like all my vlogs are food eat and sleep.

But just know that it can also be used as a completely standalone app if you are literally just wanting to use it to draw over the top of your camera again in Zoom or Teams because there is a Mac app that goes with it and if you need it that can then basically feed in any camera into this allow you to draw on the screen and then have that feed into Zoom or Teams. I'll talk about that a little bit later on as well. There won't be a full tutorial on that but I will talk about how you can do that. But one of the things that I love about this app over other methods that I've done previously for on-screen Telestration writing on the screen is the fact that you do actually see the output from the camera or in this case from Ecamm on the iPad itself. So what it means is that I can see exactly where I'm drawing. So I don't need to guess if I want to just draw around my microphone windshield there. I can just get that pretty much exactly and then if I wanted to highlight the logo I can draw on that as well. So it's just that's the thing that really sets it apart from those other methods is this sort of accuracy you've got in terms of where you are drawing where you are writing. Another thing that's great about it is it is completely wireless if you're using it over NDI. I've got it plugged in at the moment just because a bit later I'm going to be sharing my whole iPad screen to show you how it works but normally in day-to-day use I don't have this plugged in to the computer. It's just completely wireless and then occasionally plugged into a charger or whatever. But yeah lots of great things to say about it so I'll be talking through that specific setup process for my use case on Ecamm and some things to watch out for in terms of things that might catch you out in the setup because there are a couple of little things that might catch you out there. So let's go through the setup process. Now I've talked about using it completely wirelessly and mentioned NDI. Well NDI is a transfer protocol for transferring video over a network. So first thing you do need to make sure is it is on the same network and obviously you've downloaded the app itself but then assuming you have done that I'm going to walk you through basically three or four different steps to actually set this up to be able to work with it exactly the way that I'm working with it right now. So step one is to actually make sure that Ecamm is broadcasting the output from Ecamm over NDI. So that would be by coming into the output menu just up in the top here and then you want to make sure you have got the NDI output as switched on so the default will be off but just make sure it's on. Now because all I'm using this for is to basically just see an overview of my Ecamm output I'm not actually bothered about the quality that's received by the iPad so I've just set that to the lowest so there's less bandwidth being taken up technically so it's not really important to me the resolution that's coming into the iPad. Once you have turned on the NDI then the next thing you want to do is just come over to the iPad app and I'm just going to switch off some of these things for a moment on the iPad but when you look at the app in the top corner there you can see where it says media you can actually bring in photos, videos and things like that into the app I don't use any of that functionality because all I'm using this for is just being able to write on top of my screen I don't want to use this for any video or image production or anything like that although it does have those capabilities. So I'm just using this camera setting here so if you look at the where it says cameras when you first switch it on you'll likely just see the back camera, the front camera, front ultra-wide so this does give you access to the cameras on your iPad once again a functionality that I'm not using but you could technically be using this as your camera to go into zoom this is kind of an evolution, this whole app is a bit of an evolution of another app by the same developer Michael Forrest another app called Shoot which enables you to use your phone or iPad as a camera so you can actually apply these effects that I'm doing with drawing on the screen have it so that you are using it as your actual camera and also drawing over the top of it and illustrating directly onto it that would seem a bit weird to me to be using it as my camera and reaching out to draw on the screen but nevertheless it is there as a function I'll come back to the camera setting in a moment first of all I do want to go into the actual settings which is also in that top left corner there and when you go into the settings first of all you'll come into this screen where it links to the help and support user guide all of that kind of stuff and a lot of people get here and they see this one which is get the video pencil camera for Mac thinking that they actually need that to work with Ecamp this adds some functionality which I'll talk about a little bit later but I personally haven't used that I don't use that app, I just use it completely wirelessly I know that some people that I've had their coaching calls with and certainly in the Take One Tech Academy as well we had a whole session where we went through trying to troubleshoot some issues that people were having I've found that just using it completely wirelessly without the app is actually the best approach to take and certainly less less little stumbling blocks in there so I've kind of skipped all the way past this and then down at the bottom you'll see where it says NDI that's the one that I would say you want to go if you want to use it the same way I'm doing and here you've got a few options so first of all NDI bandwidth I've set that to high quality so I've got the high quality feed coming from here back into the Ecamp NDI output again toggled that one on so that is basically sending the we've now turned on NDI in the Ecamp itself to send the incoming stream into the iPad and now we want to send the NDI output also over what we're creating in the what we're drawing on the iPad send that back into the Mac as well so we turn that one on I've got 1080p there I mentioned before with Ecamp I'm not bothered about the resolution but what this resolution is is for the return feed so this is the actual resolution of the drawings or the writing that we're doing on the screen so for that I do want that to be the highest resolution possible so that's why I've selected NDI output on and 1080p the next one down here NDI transparency that is because we only want to really send the drawing part back to Ecamp so whilst we've got the input coming from Ecamp we don't want to be sending that back to it again so turn on the transparency so that all that is being sent over NDI is basically whatever we draw on the screen so these are the settings that I would recommend to be doing what I'm doing basically everything on and highest quality possible in short now when you have turned on NDI what you'll notice is if you come back to this camera selector you'll see that in the camera options as well as the cameras that are built into the iPad you'll also see that you do have this Ecamp Live and then it'll have the name of your your Mac you've got Ecamp on now you can just tap on that it's going to give you this weird sort of view to infinity if I do that right now let me just do that though just to show you if I tap on my Mac it should bring it in and you'll see this kind of now basically it's bringing in the Ecamp view in here it's looking like this right now I'm sharing my screen normally you won't see anything like this what you'll see is just basically the output from Ecamp will be coming directly onto the screen and this is where I was up before where I could just basically draw on the screen and you would normally see that but you can't see that right now because we've missed out a step we've got to add this step I've been able to add that in as an overlay so that's the next step then step three which is to come into Ecamp so if I just share my Ecamp screen with you again and although we are technically writing on a screen it's an iPad screen isn't it but Ecamp is seeing this as a camera so in order to add this into Ecamp we need to add it as a camera overlay let me just change to a scene for a second that's maybe got no border on it which one this one it might make it easier to sort of see this and I'm going to add a camera overlay so in Ecamp I'm just going to come to the bottom here new camera overlay and it will add in a default camera which happens to be exactly the same one there I'll just make it a different size on the screen though and here if you go to the camera picker click on settings video source live streamer cap 4k is the video capture card the moment that I'm using however what we want to change it to is video pencil now if you look in this list here because I've got the iPad mini plugged in over a cable it is actually showing up in itself so that is not the one we want this one here that has video pencil in brackets at the end of the device name so that's the one that you'll look for it will be the name of your iPad and then it will have the video pencil in brackets so we want to change that over to that and now actually you can see that effectively I've got an overlay and it's transparent we've got that box around it and that is then coming into Ecamp so now what we need to do is just kind of position this on the screen but before I do I'll just mention something an issue that some people seem to have had or some people have had which is that they may see that there is a kind of like solid background to it like that and the reason for that is if you've got a border selected on the overlay because whenever you bring a new overlay into Ecamp it will just use the sort of previous settings that you've had so if previously you had some sort of border width going on on that screen the way that Ecamp implements borders is actually to effectively create a full block behind the overlay of whatever colour you select and then it just sort of shrinks the overlay within that slightly to give the effect of there being just a border around it if that makes sense but that's because Ecamp is not expecting to receive a transparent input like that and so that's why you basically have this issue and so if I was to have come in here and changed that border to a different colour you can see that it doesn't look like a border to you but that's because the input coming from video pencil is transparent so just know that if you've got any kind of solid colour going on in the background there that you just need to come into the border width section here and just reduce that border width and as soon as the border width goes down to zero then that does completely disappear and now you can see it's just completely transparent with that bounding box the other thing that you may want to do that may catch you out slightly is just double check that you don't have any corner radius because if you have a big corner radius on there as you can see it would technically clip the top corners of anything that you draw on the screen so for me personally it makes sense to have zero border and zero corner radius as well and then what you want to do is we need to just align this on the screen because if you don't have it completely filling the screen then what you'll get is this slightly weird effect where when you look at the output on video pencil I don't know if you can see that but basically I've got a kind of duplication of that little squiggle so there's the one where is it there the one that I've actually drawn on the screen but then we've got this weird little duplicate of it off to the side and anything that I do draw on the screen will have the same effect of being sort of duplicated elsewhere on the iPad mini screen it's a little bit hard to see it's trying to focus on my eyes but basically what we need to do is make sure that as I say the overlay in Ecamm is completely aligned with the actual main window so let's come and do that I'm just going to grab this and move it until it is lined up with the top then move it till it is lined up with the left hand side there and then come and grab the bottom right hand corner and drag that all the way out oh my thing is disappearing off the screen there drag that all the way down to this bottom right hand corner so now that it's completely filling the screen and here you can see that's where it's appeared here is this overlay iPad mini video pencil it's completely filling the screen so always just make sure that it is completely full like that and maybe center it horizontally and vertically as well so just notice that there is there is a vertical line that comes when you are lined up with the vertical plane and horizontal when you are lined up with the horizontal plane like that so like that there we go just get it exactly right and then you'd want to come and lock that overlay so here video pencil just click on lock you might want to rename that as well so you may want to just call it video pencil and the other thing to do is just make sure that you have got this showing in all scenes so in Ecamm you do have the option of putting things either in the background or you can have them in the current scene only but what we want is we want this to be in show in all scenes because then we can just toggle it on and off whenever we need it and know that it will always be there so just make sure that if it has come into this showing current scene just drag it right up to the top so it's literally at the very top of the stack and then you know that you'll always be able to write over the top of absolutely everything then so then the next thing to do then once you've got that overlay is to then go and add an action to your stream deck to be able to show and hide that so I'm just going to get rid of this for a second but if I go over to my stream deck then we can go to the Ecamm plugins here or the Ecamm plugin, go to the actions and look for show hide overlay drop that button onto there and then go to where it says overlay just down here and you're going to pick the name of the overlay which we've just given it the name video pencil conveniently it always brings in the top one of the whole stack so if video pencil is at the top it will just naturally default to that but if not just go and find it and pick it and then what that means is so I'll just draw something on the iPad screen, you're not seeing it right now but I've just drawn around all those little actions but when I press the button on the stream deck that we've just created it basically toggles this on and off so for me that is a really simple setup what it also means is you could create a scene that is specific for a whiteboard so I've got a scene that's just like this this is kind of my virtual whiteboard and then as long as I've got video pencil toggled on then basically I can just draw my little diagrams and things like that so those are the four steps essentially turning on NDI on your eCAM on your Mac then turning on NDI on video pencil then coming back into eCAM and just bringing in that camera overlay and making sure it's all aligned and everything on the screen and then creating that button on the stream deck to toggle it on and off it is as simple as that so with the actual drawing tools themselves let's just take a quick look at those so if I just change out of here so that it's not going to repeat on you, I've just kept it as a sort of completely blank background here just to make it clear the tools down at the bottom we've looked at the settings at the top then the tools down at the bottom is going to look familiar to the Apple Notes tools actually the developer sort of redid this to look the same but with some added functionality so if I tap on any one of these pens there's basically five pens at the bottom there and I can just cycle between them if you tap on the active pen you can change the size of it I like how the actual size of the pen underneath increases in size based on the size that you've got so it's very clear what size pen you're using then you've got the colour picker so you can use either just a grid pick off one of those colours you can use the spectrum picker or you can use this sliders and then there you can see you can also enter a hex code so if you want to use your specific colours you can do that in there as well also here if I just draw a little squiggle on the screen you've got undo and redo so I can press those those are the tools to the far left of the toolbar there undo and redo you can go back quite far so I could go all the way back to the thing that was on the screen at the beginning like that as well or go forward again then also next to those five pens you've got an eraser tool so I can click on the eraser tool and then I can just undo something like that as well you've also got this selection tool here so if I wanted to select something from the screen you can actually do that and then move it round so I'll just undo that so if you want to move things around you can do that as well and also sort of reposition them on the screen next to that is this little add-in now this is an in-app purchase and by the way this app is free to use with a watermark but to remove the watermark it's an in-app purchase quite rightly to keep the developer's lights on and keep him developing but there is an in-app purchase as well for a laser pointer which is I think three dollars or three pounds or something like that and that enables you to just basically point on the screen so useful if you just want to highlight something then you can use that little laser pointer for that as well there are the clear drawings so that it's going to clear everything there are these three little dots here that enables you to so either share the drawing one of the things I've put in as a feature request is kind of multiple pages I would love to be able to have multiple pages that I can sort of swipe through and then at the end of the meeting just export all of them as a PDF so I don't know whether that'll make it in but at the moment all you can do is you can share an individual drawing so if you've done something on the screen and you want to sort of share that little whatever it is doodle or whatever click on share drawing and then you've got all of the regular sort of sharing just share sheet essentially draw with finger so that is an option that you can toggle on and off if you just want to be able to draw with your finger you can do that in there and then the other one that they've got here is live titles now that's an interesting idea it's not something I use too much to be honest but I'll just show you what it is nonetheless if you've got live titles switched on and then you select a line tool and then you see that there is this little T icon next to where it says so you've got this one here if you tap on that then you can choose the language and then you can choose the font and everything but basically what happens is if I draw a line and then speak it will actually put the text in itself so if I go like this, hello then there you go and basically what's going to happen is it will fill the length of the line with that word useful in meetings so it is good for putting if you want to put headlines points or things like that but you'll see there that the text is very in different sizes depending on the length of the line and the length of the sentence it's going to put in but it is a nice little feature nonetheless but like I say, not one that I use too much I've got other ways of doing this kind of thing but I do like the fact that it's there you can see also because I use the Thai language on my iPad it has also got that so if I speak in Thai it will actually add in decent Thai subtitles as well so those are the sort of built-in controls for annotating and I really like the direction this is going like I say it is actively under development and once again going into settings and going into help and support and go to that Discord up at the top there you'll be able to go and join the Discord and put in feature requests and stuff like that so it's great to see apps that are under active development now I've mentioned the way that I'm using this completely wirelessly I do just need to touch on the app though because I talked about that and how I don't personally use the app but what the app does is in exactly the same way that I'm bringing in my camera from Ecamm and I showed you how you can see that in the camera list if you've got the app installed on your computer what you'll see on your iPad is instead of just the front camera, back camera and the NDI camera you will also see all of the other cameras you've got on your computer and the way that that might be useful is if you aren't using Ecamm but you just want to be able to annotate that you've got normally going into zoom so let's say you've just got whatever it is, either a webcam or whatever kind coming in over a capture card into your computer and you normally take that directly into zoom well now that can go into here and you would just see the output of that camera on your iPad but then what you have is you have the video pencil camera will show up in zoom assuming you've got the app installed on your Mac that will show up in zoom as a camera itself and so instead of selecting your actual camera you will select the video pencil camera in zoom and basically what's happening is the feed from that camera is coming into your iPad but then the video pencil app is then taking your annotations from the iPad and sort of adding that in to then go into zoom and so you can do all of the same sort of on-screen annotation as I've just talked about just directly onto any camera that's going into zoom teams or wherever it happens to be and technically that is a little bit more of a lightweight solution from a networking point of view because basically it's all it's doing is taking that transparent overlay and adding that into the feed that is going to your communication zoom or whatever it happens to be but like I say for me and for e-cam users I find that that is just a little added layer of complexity and so the way that I've just talked about doing it would be the way that I'd recommend going for sure so if that is something that is of interest to you I'll leave a link down in the description to the shoot app highly recommend checking that out and I'll also leave a link to some other sort of zoom related videos over here on the right hand side as well hope you find that useful if you've got any questions feel free to drop them in the chat or join the take one tech discord and join the conversation over there


Lowes, they say, make the man. But consider our friend in the tin topcoat. As recently as 500 years ago, he hot-rodded around on a big black charger. Rescuing damsels and clobbering dragons and telling such big fibs about it, we still think of knights as giants. They weren't. Even the average man today is taller, stronger, and healthier. One big reason why is because we eat better. We can get our three square meals a day the year around. We eat well because we grow better food. Because we can transport and handle food at high speed. But most important of all, we have learned to keep food. Preservation of food has been a problem for man from the very beginning. Even if food was abundant, he couldn't keep it for the lean days. Eventually, man learned to sun dry food, to smoke it, to salt it, which made salt so important it was an early form of money. It's ironical that yesterday's staples are often today's delicacies. But because few foods could be preserved and primitive methods caused important vitamins to be lost, no one ever had a balanced diet three squares a day the year round. If food was plentiful, they ate. If not, if the fruits or vegetables were out of season or the hunting bad, they did without. Bread was the staff of life, sometimes appetizer, entree, and dessert, nourishing in its way, but hardly a square meal. An early attempt at food preservation was the use of spices, rosemary, nutmeg, cinnamon, and many others. It was the search for the short spice route which led Columbus to America. But imagine the sailors' diet after a few weeks at sea. Fresh fruits and vegetables gone, the bacon moldy, the flour, well, inhabited. Food was a problem for all who traveled. Armies often spent more time foraging than fighting. The French government offered a prize of 12,000 francs for a safe method of preserving food, and it was won during Napoleon's reign and appropriately by a French chef. His name was Nicholas Appare, the date, 189, less than 150 years ago. Monsieur Appare's great discovery was that food tightly sealed in a container, then thoroughly heated, would keep for years. Napoleon got the statues, while Appare, having spent all his money perfecting his canning methods, died a poor man. But Appare's monument is infinitely greater. His discovery helped all mankind to eat right, to get their three squares a day the year around. But the canning process had a long way to go before canneries could turn out food at this rate. The next big advance was the tin can, the brainchild of an Englishman named Peter Durand. In 1820, canning reached America when a man named William Underwood set up a cannery in Boston. But everything was done by hand, and this made canned food scarce, a luxury. Can making was particularly slow at first. But inventions succeeded invention, and before too long machines were doing more in an hour than a man might do in a week, a month. One of the most important inventions came in 1874, when A.K. Shriver perfected the pressure cooker for canneries, the retort. The high pressures of the retort reduced the cooking period for most foods from hours to minutes. With the retort so efficient, many more new inventions were needed to handle food faster. As the canning process speeded up, the price of canned foods went down. The quality improved, and scenes like this have become much less common than in Grandmother's day. Strangely enough, the first can opener wasn't patented until 1858, almost 50 years after the invention of the can. The inventor was Ezra J. Warner, since then probably nothing as so intrigued gadget-minded Americans as the canner. Hand type openers and wall openers. And for glass containers, the lid flipper. The spoon works too. It's a good thing Warner dreamed up the can opener, however, for Americans alone open more than 100 million containers a day, 100 million containers every 24 hours, more than 500 items. How is it possible to grow, and to distribute such an incredible amount? Machines of course help make it possible. Every cannery contains dozens of intricate, specially designed machines. But the real backbone of the canning industry is the more than 500,000 people involved. A half million people. Who are they? They're the cannery workers with their busy, wonderfully skilled hands. Hands that clean, hands that trim, hands that sort, that inspect, that pack. There are the farmers and the ranchers, the men who harvest. There are the fishermen leading their hard and dangerous lives so that we may have choice sea foods the year round. Peas and other crops are checked to determine the proper moment for harvesting. When that moment arrives, the canner's field men quickly notify the cannery, often by radio. Then the men and the machines move in. They work with speed and efficiency. One reason canned foods taste so good. Within three hours or less, these peas are in the cannery ready to be processed. Together with minor variations for different foods is what happens. When the product arrives, it's husked or peeled if necessary, sorted as to size and ripeness and carefully inspected. It undergoes frequent washings. Some foods are chopped or sliced, then blanched or briefly heated in giant kettles. All foods are inspected carefully at each stage of processing. Complicated machines do a remarkably precise job of filling the containers with food, liquid and seasoning in just the right amounts. The container then travels into an exhaust box where hot steam replaces the air, then to sealing machines, and on to the retorts or pressure kettles. Even as with Monsieur Repaire, the heating time and temperature are still the most important factors. Some foods need but a few minutes of boiling temperature, while others may take more than two hours under steam pressure. Rapid cooling completes the process. Examples of each day's production are checked and tested by trained specialists. Quality of product is essential. Some containers are labeled before warehousing, others when they're shipped out. Either way, the label is important because it helps to tell the shopper what is inside. The shopper wouldn't find canned food as good or as bad if it were not for the scientists who are constantly improving our fruits and vegetables. The development of sweeter, juicier peas, for example. By combining the good qualities of one strain with those of another, tomatoes have been developed with more flavor, fewer seeds and better color. The sweet corn of today has little resemblance to corn of a hundred years ago. And it was all done, you might say, with paper bags. Cross-pollinization selective breeding has worked many wonders. Only a fruit or vegetable exists that has not been redesigned. Improved in taste, in size, in appearance, in quality, in resistance to drought and disease. Today more than ever, the process of improvement goes on. Farmers learn better farming methods through the help of county agents, state agricultural colleges, the federal government and canner's fieldmen. New and better fertilizers and crop rotation result in greater yields. Special chemicals are sprayed or dusted on the growing crops to protect them against pests and disease. The results are better quality foods and more often. Manufacturers buy with one another to bring out more efficient machines. Container manufacturers have research teams constantly at work, tailoring the can to the product it holds. The glass container of today is many times stronger and lighter than our grandmother's had available. The canners themselves have developed new products to meet special needs. Baby foods are one of the best friends a mother and the baby ever had. Much of what this baby eats is found in jars and cans, or some babies even the milk. Because of canning, this little fellow and millions like him is assured of his three squares right from the beginning. Canning has come a long way in 150 years and so has mankind. If man has grown so much bigger and healthier in such a short time, what effect will a constant supply of good food have on succeeding generations? Someday people will go to museums and look at quaint old jet pilot suits and they'll talk about the heroes who are them. And perhaps they'll say, somehow I thought they were bigger than them. You never can tell. Three square meals a day is still pretty new in human experience.
