In today's video, we're opening never before seen third party blisters from 2003. What's up guys? We're back with another video doing one of my favorite things to do on this channel, which is open these weird third party blisters from like early 2000s. I said it's 2003. I think it's actually 2004. I was looking at my dishes for it, so these are both from 2003, so I figured 2003, but I can send it a year later when they're a little bit older. So, I love doing this because you get to see the prices they had them out. Oh, $7.94, now $5.94. Is that printed on there? Is that a sticker? That's a sticker. You can see the two packs. They got these really old school packs inside, which means usually these are not like waiter, tampered with or anything because they've been in there for like 20 years. So, in a sense, they're basically like unweighted loose packs, which is really fun. We also have a few others like we have this MRD LOIN pack. We've got this MRD. I think that's LOIN as well. We got some LOMC. We got a bunch of stuff. So, we'll get to it.  We'll probably save this one for last because it has magician's force. It's just pretty fun. And we've got a bunch of other old school packs. I didn't even throw the only new packs that they're in were two LOB 25th anniversary just because they fit the theme because it's completely vintage today. So, get excited. This is going to be super fun and we have a giveaway. I'll be giving away this Dupo little promo pack, which says this is awesome ultra dark magician.

Thanks Ian and HelloFresh for sponsoring this video. Alright, so let's just start off a little appetizer with Ancient Sanctuary. Here we go. This should be a fun one. Vintage opening, Ancient Sanctuary. We have, okay, yeah, this, oh man, I'm excited for the, oh, calm down, calm down. No, don't, no freak out camera. I just punched the camera. Well, really it was the arm of the camera, but I didn't punch the camera itself. We have ninjutsu art, arcane archer of the forest. Make sure everything's recording because, you know, sometimes it'll stop in the middle of an opening, which is never fun. Judgment of the desert we have to get from the sky and Galvanthief and avatar of the pot should have been in the pot collection. Big ripe Konami. Why was this not in the pot collection?  I lost my train of thought because of the avatar of the pot. Oh yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The recording thing. Yeah. And then maybe I'll record it on slow mo or record it with the sound off, you know, I've done all kinds of stuff recently. So I'm trying not to do that. We have Farani Guardian here, which has amazing commons, metamorphosis, trap does shoot made in the aqua. You guys know this great. If you're a spear soldier, we have reasoning. Master Kiyoshi rucks and special needle ceiling, row keeper, pyramid energy, bottom of shifting sand and king tiger. Why could this is like a $3 rare? I think wait, didn't get no money. Got a speed dual print, which may have heard it. I think they got a secret in there, but that's a good card. Okay. Let's go to our first third party blister here. Let's do the magic ruler slash legacy of darkest. This one's very bent up. Uh, not a lot of info on this one. There's 799 MSRP or SRP, just SRP, not MSRP. Maybe it's so old that proceeded that. Who knows 799 or maybe that's a different thing. What does MSRP even stand for? So standard retail price. What's, what's the M stand for? I don't know what the M stands for. Canadian SRP and, uh, we got the Mexican. So it's, it's 79 90 in Mexico.  So really sorry, pesos. You guys are like way down the, way down there. Okay. Let's see. I'll just poke myself. That hurt. Okay. Maybe I think that's the, the people, the people from Mexico will be like, Hey, you talk about our peso like that, you get stabbed. Okay. Buy this random blister pack with a very pointy corner. Okay. Two packs, original, original logo. We get blue eyes too. That'd be amazing. Let's start off with legacy of darkness. Hopefully we can get something. These are unlimited, but if we get like nice polls, I'll probably still send them into PSA if they're gradeable. I do have a current submission there, but I'm trying to get another submission ready because it's always fun to have those coming back for from the back. We have a wolf axe wielder, secrets of the bandit. We've opened a mini LOD before, but we are always excited to pull Jack's fairy lily or yada, grassy. We got lizard soldier. We got throw stone unit, ruby aru, bark, dark ruler, wing minion and the A forces from the A team. Okay. Nothing crazy there. Magic ruler. Let's continue on MRL original logo. MRL. This, if it has a blue eyes tune, it's actually over a $100 card, even an unlimited. So that'd be big. We have commencement dance and that's ungraded by the way, metal fish, rocks and special turn arrest, Darth Maul awaiting orders. We have Horn of Light. Speaking of Darth Maul awaiting orders, battlefront two is back. Apparently you can like, it's been like re-released or whatever. The original, not the crappy one that they came out with recently like 2005. Pretty amazing. We have ancient one, firecrack and we have dark witch, crab, turtile and we have manga, right? And I had high hopes for that one. Okay. That's fine. That's fine. We got some other packs. Here's some of the loose packs. Let's try some of these. These fair of servant have not been good for us.  They've sucked one, two, three, four. Oh my goodness. Check that out. Dinged on the corner. We have Solomon's law book, deep sea warrior, only tank rucks and 34. That wasn't dinged, right? Oh yeah. We gotta pull that one aside. We have doaker, yaba, cyber falcon, gamble, flipping coins, shadow of eyes, drill bung and we have no one to have exterminate. Yeah. These, okay. So that was not the messed up one. Which one was the messed up one? I don't know. Where did it go? Wait, it's gone. Maybe it was that one. It just doesn't look as bad. I don't know. That's kind of weird. All right. Blue eyes. This is a, of course it's 23 pack, but guess what? It can pull blue eyes still. I just completely missed. I don't know what just happened. I just missed the ruck, the, uh, the, the, the Patrick, not the rucks and special. We don't, well, it's kind of a rucks and special in a different way. We have Panda, T danger, we have root water, river of the gardens and Kulu, Toco. So yeah, not great there. That's fine. Let's go to our next blister. Let's alternate to the metal Raiders, original logo and Lava the nightmare. So 799 on there. We've got, we will not say anything about the peso this time. Okay. You gotta be careful. These things are sharp. See, look, I didn't poke myself when you respect the peso. You're fine. Respect the peso. That's what we've learned in this video. Both original logo, LO in the last set before that. Well, it's not true. Wait, why does fronic guardian have original LOD on these two? Cause they switched them in 2003 and there's original logo fronic guard. No, maybe I'm thinking up. No, that's not true. This is the last original logo magic spell rulers. The thing where it made it all the way there. Okay. I'm getting it together. Yeah. Fronic guardian has both magic and spell ruler packs. So the cards or the magic rulers inside or the magic cards inside will say either magic or spell depending on where, when you get them or when they're from. Got that confused with the original logo. No, LO in the last one, the original logo. Here we go. Akibio, Dracmorne, humanoid slime. That's, man, that's an awesome card. Earl of demise is gentlemanly creatures, extremely wicked, feared by men and fiend alike. He's, he's wicked, not wicked. We have the dark door, dream sprite. We have gray braver's retribution. That's some serious retribution right there. God, this reminds me of X-Men apocalypse. Not a great movie, but they get, when he puts that dude in the wall, you know, that like thug or what, I don't know what you call him. He was like trying to beat him up in the, in the alley and he like put him into the wall and they sanded him to death. All right, Gadget soldier, and we have spirit of the breeze. So we are over so far. Not awesome. MRD original. Look, my favorite set, canyon moth potential, amazing ultras, amazing secrets. Let's see what we can get. So far, it's been nothing. I would like to turn that around right here. One, two, three, four. We have paralyzing potion, magic card. We have insect soldiers of the sky, hunter spider, hockey beam. Oh, yes. The pocaneal moth, original print. Let's go. That is beautiful. This small but deadly creature is better off avoided. No, thank you. I would like to, I would like to not avoid it. You know, I wanted to be unavoided. Be sure, butcher, share the pain and seven tools on the bandit and ultra rare, but not the ultra rare we are looking for. That was a weird sound I just made when I said ultra rare. I don't know what that was. That was like a squeak slash rasp at the same time. That is it's an ultra, not the worst ultra. I think the worst ultra is a horn of heaven. So look, I'll take it. Centering is a little bit off, but you know, I might try to PSA anyway. We'll give it a shot. Now that both prices are like $14, which is like getting close to like 10 bucks, which is where I'm like basically sending anything at that point. I'm willing to give this a shot. Centering is a little bit off, but I think it could squeak through seven tools unlimited. Not going to fetch a crazy price, but if it gets a 10, it's going to be pretty nice. So I'll take an ultra. I'm not mad about that. Let's try out. We do have another lab at the nightmare right here, original print. So let's see what we can get. Give us something big right here. One, two, three, four, Jim and I elf. Last word from another planet, the mass beast, dark necro fear, forgiving maiden, mental box spirit. We have Saint Jelon, Embers Mantis, and we have spirit message in nice card, nice card, but not a four. Okay. After this legacy of darkness, I've opened one of everything I have on the side. So then we can get, you know, back to repeats and stuff. L O N and L O D back to back fourth and fifth and sixth set ever made in Yu-Gi-Oh TCG history. Spirit invitation. We have twin head of wolf rocks and special, greatest option, bubble crash, great long nose, short print. There you go. Gezi. We have thrust on unit, Roboyaru, bark, dark ruler. And we have the rate of revealing lights.  Let's see what we can do. Let's open this Yu-Gi-Oh GX two pack one with the flaming eternity and first ed. So I didn't know that was first ed. If this is a hobby pack and has Horus ulti level eight, oh my goodness, that would be, that would be up there on one of our best pulls of all time. Speaking of, I did our top 25 best pulls of all time. So if you have not seen that video, go check it out. There's 25 amazing pulls from the history of the channel. Yeah, you're going to want to see that. And if we pull this here like Horus, then this will be in this video. Here you go. Check it out. But this will definitely make the video. Let's say that's all the duelists for after flaming eternity. Flaming eternity, I would be totally okay with really any ulti, but if it's a sacred phoenix on limb ulti, I'd still be down for that. That'd be amazing. One, two, three, four, let's go. Give us something big. The earth hex cell fusion. There's not a lot of cards in these sets. The mid GX, like early GX or between GX, OG, whatever you want to call them sets. There's like 60 cards. So not a lot of variety on the commons, but there's some cool ones like hyena from Lion King. We have the hex cell fusion and we have meteor of destruction. So nothing too crazy and soul the duelist. I mean, in a flaming eternity, we're hoping there is something crazy and soul the duelist right here. Horus of black, I'm dragon level eight ultimate rare is a thousand dollar card, raw, something like that. I don't care if it's off centered and has scuffing on it, which it probably will. But even if it was, if it didn't though, and we pulled it, I mean, it would be like PSA 10 is big. So that'd be pretty huge one, two, three, four. Let's just hope we can get something here. We have big wave, small wave, come on. Soul the duelist mass dragon. I really like this card. It's like a mass dragon, basically the dragon recruiter. Pretty cool. Neo aquamador. They did a retrain of aquamador that fast. It's pretty insane. And all they did was give it more attack and defense and make it a tribute. Very weird. Absolutely. And sandwich sanguine in which the black force we have unshaving angler, taunt, red eyes, be chick. And we have a please see a seduction. That is not the droid rule. Or should I say the plan? All right. We gave it a shot. Soul the duelist income through force. That's okay. L O B blue eyes, white dragon.  We're not set, but re-release. I guess you could say tear the terrible red medicine in warrior number one. We have tie home. We have arm ninja and we have in warrior number two. So I guess not back to ancient sanctuary. A lot of amazing sets in eight or not sets cards in ancient sanctuary. So let's see. And by a lot, I mean, like not a lot, but a few, you know, a few ones we want delta attacker, elephant statue, fiend scorpion, rucks and special warrior of Zara, goblin king, mystic walk, emissary of the oasis and the king of the swamp was a good one for a while. Don't think so much anymore. All right. Magic ruler time. Give it another chance for the peso. Shout out the peso best currency ever made. Here we go. Oh, it's a pharaoh servant. Wasn't there something else last time? It was like a legacy of darkness. Okay. That's cool. That pharaoh servant. Hopefully it's a hobby pack. Jinzo potential. Let's see. Let's try it out. One, two, three, four. We have infinite dismissal. Mubonic vermin, seven completed enchanted javelin, dark fire soldier, numero dose, bite shoes, the all seeing white digre, ground collapse, and we have the shallow grave. Okay. Nothing in that one. That's fine. MRL blue, I assume dragon. Let's go. Blue eyes tune. One, two, three, four. I believe in you relinquish should be cool as well. Spear creating very annoying card. The weather report of star goblin. Great card. Ceremonial belt, dark zebra, luminous spark, red archery girl, malevolent nuzzler. Come on, baby. Magic ruler. Karate man. Okay. He is not the chop man, the desperate outlaw, but he also, I mean, he has the karate chop going pharaoh servant up next. Pharaonic guardian. I said pharaoh servant. Oh, upside down card. Maybe that could mean something. Maybe that means it's a foil. If it is, it looks pretty clean on the back. Let's see. Two ton mask. Give us that don's a look. I would love that. Time meter, secret lava golem, or especially ring of destruction would be amazing. Needle wall, cat of ill omen. I just remembered actually. I got these in a 24 pack box. So that should be ringing destruction if we get one. I don't think I've ever actually pulled that card. So that'd be huge and even unlimited. And I will. Luckily have a man with the widget. Cabezones. Card shovel. Come on, baby. Be a seat. It's a trap card. A lot of traps of pharaonic guardian. Come on. Secret rare. Not very centered based on the bottom border though. Barrel behind the door. It's always barrel behind the door. Always barrel behind the door. Couldn't have been the ring of destruction. I convinced myself it was it for a second. Okay, but it's a, it's a hollow. I'm not mad. All right. Legacy of darkness. Here we go. See what we can do before we get back to the third party blisters. We've got a couple foils pulled today, but we could really step it up and pull something else and be good greatest option with puppet magic. We do have an ultra both trap cards. Interestingly enough, serpentine spirit Ryu. We just need a secret add to the ultra and the super super roval lady and a shadow tamer. Okay. That's not going to really add much at all. Shadow tamer. All right. Dark revelation. Rise of destiny. First dead by the way. Let's open this up. Okay. This one's already kind of open. So that one was coming apart a little bit. That's fine because it's going to have an ulti in it. It's going to be amazing. Let's start with rise of destiny. We want that perfect machine king. We want the creator either one would be pretty awesome. One, two, three, four. Let's make sure I don't do an ultra rucksus special like with the air neos. Elements. Soros. We have the eagle eye. Furikazon pitch black war wolf. Let's go. Harpy sun and ground. Raging flame. Sprite. Zings and who? Mirage dragon and Sasuke or Sasuke. I used to call it Sasuke back in the day. Sasuke samurai like a Naruto. Dark revelation volume one. This is one I've not opened a ton of recently. Really at all probably. It's a weird set. It's a very weird set. So I don't, because they didn't put, this is the one they didn't put dark magician girl. So I don't even know where the foil is going to be. Let's just kind of go through real that barrel. Where's the foil slash rare? Dark blade. Oh my be here. Oh, dramatic rescue. Okay. All right. Dramatic rescue, Sasuke, Sasakuretsu armor. There we go. Wait, motion cannon. I don't know what I'm saying. Wait, motion cannon is a good one though. All right. Let's try the LON pack. We have one more of these. A lot of vintage packs. It was like 24 totals. So you guys are getting like a full box worth of variety of old school packs today. Hopefully you'll like it. One, two, three, four. Let me know if you do in the comments. Make sure to subscribe. If you guys enjoyed the video, you want to see more like this. We'll be attempting to get more of these as we go. We've done this many times in the channel's history. We have Miracle Dig, Lightning Conquer, tornado walls shining abyss, Mario Kuta. We have the Port of Secret and tornado bird. Come on. More foils. We need more foils. So we bring in Metal Raiders and Labyrinth of Nightmare right here. Let's go. Let's do this. The foil trains here. Step back. They're coming. Labyrinth of Nightmare. Back to back Labyrinth of Nightmare packs right here. We need a little luck guys. It has not been the most successful in terms of pulling foils. One, two, three, four. So if we can turn that around right here, it'd be great. Amazon Archer. We've got Blind Instruction. Strollable Witchman. The Rock Spirit. Mario Kuta. Port of Secret. We have Dark Door. Dream Sprite and we have the return of the dude. All right. Metal Raiders, you're one of our two foils. You pulled the Seven Doles of the Bandit and the Picanha. So you're really carrying us as my favorite set. So if you'd like to continue that right here and do it again, that'd be great. We'd love to have two Picanha models. Here we go. Oh, the cousin moth. Let's go. Add that to the equation. Water Ammonix with the shirt on. Congrats. Bigary Box. We have Wing Dragon, Guardian of the Fortress, number one. Illusionist, Faceless Mage. Mystic Horseman. Cyber Sorus. Pale Beast, Ruxen, 34. And we have Little Chimera. Okay. Two nice commons, but no foil. All right. Pharaoh Servant. Here we go. One, two, three, four.  These Pharaoh Servants have been pretty cursed so far. Mr. Volcano, that fiery finger. We got Time Seal. We got Science Soldier. Armor Glass, Flame Champion. Respect play. Shaking those hands. Giruchakua, Gatza, and Monster Recovery. Those are just cursed. I think that those were probably not great. Okay. Last third party blister is Magician's Force and Legacy of Darkness. So Magician's Force, obviously a big one. Big potential. Dark Magician Girl inside. So let's see if we can get that right here. So let's rip that off. That opened pretty good. Okay. Legacy of Darkness. Second to last pack in this video. Make sure you guys subscribe if you guys have enjoyed the video so far. It's been pretty awesome, except for the poles. I've not been that great. One, two, three, four. Let's turn it around right here. Let's get something big. I like See a Darkness Dragon Manipulator. We got Life Absorbing Machine. There's Paris. Turning into Paris. We have Gentlemen, Ocean, Throwstone Unit, Super Robo Yaru, Dark Ruler, Wing Minion, and a Marauding Captain. Whoa. Look at this. It's got like a little foil like dots all over it. It's like it has foil. Like when they put the foil on it, like splattered all over the card. Okay. I don't know if I pulled this. First of all, sintering is Legacy of Darkness for sure. And then you look at the splatter of the card. That's pretty awesome actually. That is really cool. The Marauding Captain. Very cool. So big ultra in the last or second last pack. Let's see if we can follow it up with back to back. Turn Magician Girl, please. Last pack magic. Magician's Force. Here we go. Gotta believe, guys. Gotta believe. One, two, three, four. Can we pull the DMG? Dark Paladin would be great as well. Or the Breaker. Jar Robber. Here we go. Last pack magic. Union Rider. Metal Silver Armor. Haven't been great at the foil pulls today. If we can finish it off two for two, it'd be amazing. The Amazon is blowpiper. Gather your mind. Pigeon Holding Book of Spells. Thunder of Ruler. Is this it? Is this the next card? Here we go. It's a trap and Amazon is archers. Okay. So we ended up going two for two to end it. Not a huge card there, but hey, a foil is a foil. Very nice shine on that foil in the background. I said foil way too many times with that sentence. Overall, super fun opening. Don't forget to check out my website.

I like NVIDIA or NVIDIA, whatever you want to call it. I like it as well, putting in a nice bear flag, holding on to the five-day moving average. This thing starts confirming it goes lower as well. So definitely the value is to the downside. Welcome to Access to Trader, the number one community for those who are committed to taking control of their trading in order to achieve success, profitability, and longevity. Thank you for joining us. Here's Dan Shapiro to help you find your edge, master your process, and own your future. Hey, guys. Good evening, everybody. Welcome to another edition, Tuesday edition of The Access to Trader.com. Nightly wrap-up show if everybody is doing well. So again, market continues to slide. Again, the big numbers, which we talked about several days ago, there were double rejection off the 20-day moving average, kind of what we saw here, which led to this really aggressive move for about a week and a half, and that's kind of what we're seeing now. It hasn't gotten aggressive yet, but again, it doesn't need to. That's the whole point. They could literally have one candle down, test the bottom of the range here, or they could just prolong the selling and just kind of walk it down day by day, day by day. But you could see what happened. We talked about yesterday, first day close below the five-day moving average. Today's bulls confirmed that five-day moving average, and now again, we're just starting this decline. This decline, and now, again, like we talked about in last night's video, if you believe that stocks strayed from demand to demand, you can see this 350 level is the measure potential for the bulls to have kind of another test of last week's woes. And again, the coolest part and what I'm seeing though, in this tape, the consistency of how many strong stocks there still are in this crazy, crazy tape, like UPST, Absolute Monster, right? Absolute Monster is a big, big pivot on this thing. Today, letter U continues to be very strong. Tesla broke out today on a pretty heavy volume with a lot of option flow. We'll talk about that in a second, but for every one of those diamond in the roughs that look pretty good, and NET also. NET continues to be just an absolute beast. The whole cloud space, look at CRM continues to be good. So there's definitely pockets of strength still out there. And again, if you do your homework and you kind of figure out where the strength is, but instead of trying to pick out two, three, four names in a cloud, in a field of manure, there's a lot of good value on the downside and whether they confirm today or about to confirm in the next several days, the value continues to be to the downside. I do like Tesla for tomorrow. Again, I think this is the highest close in this whole formation, and they were coming once again with very, very aggressive near term out of the money call buyers. You saw 830 weeklies, we saw 850 weeklies, we saw the 1029 expiration, 880s, 890s. So there's definitely big institutional money flow on Tesla and if they could just start confirming today's channel tomorrow or even the next couple of days, you should start seeing the next leg up. Obviously the market would have to participate a little bit more, the bulls would have to kind of step up and kind of try to reclaim back the five day moving average, but definitely Tesla. Tesla is definitely one of the ones that are standing out here. But again, for all the names that are strong comes the names that are weak and mirroring the NASDAQ 100 and look at Apple. Not only did Apple close below the five day moving average after the close, they came out and they said, listen, we're gonna slash iPhone production due to the chip crunch, and the Apple suppliers are gonna get hit, right? The Broadcoms of the world, SWKS of the world, it's gonna obviously affect them. And after the close, it's not like the market's getting slaughtered, but after the close we're still getting more aggressive selling that kind of played out into the close. And now you're going to get a lot of setups, for example, on semiconductors, right? Nvidia bit the bullet for the last couple of days is trying to hold on to the five day moving average. All it takes is one more day, right? One more day for this thing to confirm, and it's gonna start joining the selling celebration that we've seen in a lot of names. Look at names, for example, Facebook. Facebook just cannot get out of its own way, right? Just cannot get out of its own way. Names like Microsoft, for example, right? It had really, really big moves, and today it closed below the 50 day moving average. It gave up all the strength it had in the last three, four days. It's still above the five, but again, use your imagination. If it starts confirming the five day moving average, what can happen? And even a perfect scenario today, just to give you an idea when buyers become tired, look at a name like Netflix, right? You had back to back days of upgrades, right? It got upgraded yesterday, it got sold. It got upgraded again today. And yesterday, again, you can see how it closed below the five day moving average yesterday. Today it confirmed the five day moving average, and here's my whole point, how stocks don't need to get destroyed, but this is how stocks trade from supply to supply and demand, right? Here's the demand on the five day, and it hit the 10 day. Now again, for all you guys who've been watching this video for a while, you know the 10 day is the birth of the trade. So if Netflix loses the 10 day tomorrow, then you have a lot of room down. You have literally about 15 to 20 points down for the next demand zone, but that's the whole point. Stock gets upgraded two days in a row, and two days in a row they sell it, they close below technical damage points, they confirm the next day, and now we're set off tomorrow for a potential another move down. So in theory, in common sense, and I say this to new traders, a lot of times, technical analysis is great and all these indicators are fine, whatever helps you, but sometimes common sense is the way to go. If a stock had this big, big run, got upgraded two days in a row, got sold two days in a row, well, what do you think is gonna happen if the market continues to sell, right? There's just no, eventually buyers get tired like everything else. Again, nobody's saying these things that go back to 580, but the point is the theme is sell, sell, sell, technical damage gets confirmed the next day. Even the chip names that we talked about yesterday, right, microchip, we talked about yesterday. Look at microchip, got absolutely hit that. This is a big, big move. Two-day move on microchip from this 145 level all the way down to 139 and change. That's a big move. It's not Tesla that's gonna expand $17, $18 every single day. These stocks within their average true range are still gonna get hit. And when they do get hit, again, you can take advantage of those areas. Even clack, we talked about clack yesterday, right? We talked about clack holding onto this area two days in a row. This thing got hit as well. Five and a half points for clack is kind of a big deal. So, you know, the market is definitely paying and rewarding those who are number one, you know, trading on the sell side, right? Definitely investors who saw this coming really appreciate technical analysis and use that information to kind of either hedge their portfolio, what we talked about over the weekend or kind of just get out of the way. But that for the foreseeable future is going to be the play. We all know that the market traditionally has been bought on the dips and all that good stuff. But when there are pockets of downside value, this is where investors, if you don't know what's going on or just can't read a chart, you're going to be caught, unfortunately, with your pants below your ankles. Unfortunately, that is going to be your reality. So again, going into tomorrow's session, there's definitely names I kind of like, right? Letter U has been pretty strong. I like this BROS. BROS had this really big move a couple of days ago and kind of just rested today on lighter volume. Watch the top of this channel for tomorrow. This thing can wake up, put in a really good inside day. If it could wake up, who knows? Maybe you could get a really good run for tomorrow, but there's still tons of value to the downside. Look at this T-Rex, T-R-E-X got absolutely murdered today, right? And look where it is, folks. Look at the lows here from August the 3rd. If this August the 3rd low gets confirmed, there's another leg down on this thing. Look at a name, for example, Robin Hood, right? They're having all these issues with order flow and blah, blah, blah. But look how close Robin Hood is to start its next leg down really, really close. I like Robin Hood as well. I like NVIDIA or NVIDIA, whatever you want to call it. I like it as well, putting in a nice bear flag, holding on to the five-day moving average. This thing starts confirming it goes lower as well. So definitely the value is to the downside. I like Tesla as well. Maybe there's a sneaky channel that we can take advantage of tomorrow. But again, I think based on order flow and the way Tesla trades, who knows? Maybe it could get very, very aggressive for its second day run after the highest close in its whole daily formation. Guys, have a great day, everybody. Hope everybody's staying safe. Hope everybody's staying smart. But most important, hope everybody is staying in business. Guys, have a great night. I'll see you all tomorrow.


Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to theCUBE's day two coverage of crowdstrike.com 23. We're at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Lisa Martin with Dave Vellante. We're going to have a great analyst conversation next. Allie Mellon is here, principal analyst at Forestry. We're going to be talking about the security analyst experience, sock metrics that matter, and the impact of Gen AI. Allie, great to have you on theCUBE. Thank you for joining us. Thank you so much for having me.  The seventh falcon, the biggest in terms of announcements, impact, attendance, give us your take on CrowdStrike's business. You know, it's changed so much because for so long they were such an endpoint-centered company and this is really a turning point for them where they're taking a much broader view and starting to look outside of the endpoint at other sources of telemetry, both that they own and then third party as well. So I see this as a huge pivot point for the company and I'm very, very excited to see where they take it next and whether they can apply all of that expertise and domain knowledge that they got from the endpoint onto these other telemetry sources. So President Michael Santonis called you out today in a good way at the keynote. So that's got to feel good as an analyst. He said you were the one of the few, if not the only analyst really digging in to the sock analyst experience. So first of all, congratulations. That's nice to get the call out, but what is it about that sock analyst experience that intrigued you? What kind of research have you done there and what can you share with us? Yeah, thank you. It was really great to hear Mike say that. Mike has been such a big supporter of analyst experience and security analyst experience that we are totally aligned on the importance of that. You know, when I started out in the industry, I worked with a CISO who would frequently talk about security analysts and he would jokingly, kind of half jokingly, say that they had the worst job in the world. And that always struck me as being very upsetting because at the end of the day, these are the people who are feeding into other parts of the security organization. They're the talent that we need to make sure that they actually enjoy their jobs that they actually get value out of them. And instead, they tend to go on for three to five years and they're like, I can't do this anymore. I'm out.  So, analyst experience, and one of the reasons I've been pushing this so hard is because I want the people who start in this industry to really understand what's really valuable about the industry and find their own path and find their own way to becoming better defenders. So when it comes to analyst experience, it's everything around what security analysts do day to day. The processes they deal with, the technology they deal with, the people that they're dealing with, their career paths, and how do we make all of those different elements better? Now, there's an obvious tie-in to user experience and to the experience that you have with the product, but it's really about taking it a step further and looking at every feature you're building from a workflow perspective. What do you have in a product that helps an analyst make a decision faster? Because ultimately, we need to be making these decisions as fast as possible. We want to have fast and accurate and complete response, and we can't have that if the tools we're using are fighting us. I'm picturing an air traffic controller, just getting burned out. Exactly. So what kind of research, first of all, I should ask you upfront, scope out your research area, what's your practice area, and what kind of research have you done on this topic? Absolutely. So I've been with Forrester for a little over two and a half years, and I cover security operations. So a lot of people think of Forrester or other market research firms, and they think of the technologies that they cover. In that case, for me, it's EDR, XDR, SIM, SOAR, and security analytics. But I prefer to talk about my coverage through security operations or detection and response, because ultimately, I get to do research on the process side and on the people side, which is so critical to anything you're doing with the technology. So security operations is really my focus, and then of course, security analysts are a key part of that because they're the ones using the tech, they're the ones going through the processes. So security analyst experience came up through that and through, honestly, a lot of really cool data that we were able to pull on what analysts were struggling with. Things like the fact that context switching is for the vast majority of analysts negatively affecting their jobs. Other things like we have data from thousands of security decision makers that says that in the incident response process, investigation by far takes the longest. It's not detection, it's not response, it is the investigation and the trying to figure out what's actually happening part of this. And to me, that wasn't surprising, but it was so validating to drive home the point that we need these workflows to be better and to understand what the analyst is doing more. Talk a little bit about what you've seen from CrowdStrike the last couple of days and how you feel that they are on the right track to really improve that security analyst experience, getting them the information that they need faster, improving that UI so that from a job sustainability perspective, there's much more there for them to do. You don't have to say they're on the right track if you don't think so. It's okay if you're not. No, but it's a great point because there's an interesting split of vendors in the industry, those that have a service like an MDR service or an MSSP and those that don't. And those that have an MDR service tend to understand analyst experience much better than those that don't because at the end of the day they have a team of practitioners that has to use that product every day and they have to make money using that product every day and so they understand what needs to be done to help their analysts make decisions faster and so they can feed that back. It's like a great product feedback loop to help improve the product over time. We see a lot of vendors in this space looking at things like generative AI and their potential applications to improve this. Obviously CrowdStrike made a lot of announcements around this with Charlotte AI and I'm really excited about the potential here both from the standpoint of things like reporting and reporting on incidents, making that a lot easier for the analysts so they don't have to be writing reports all the time and then also from the standpoint of having interactions with AI where it can give you advice on what next steps to take. Now fundamentally there's a very important part of this which is the underlying data that you have to train these models and if you have a service you're much more inclined to have the data to train these models to make better decisions because the service provider, they're taking response actions all the time, they're taking investigation actions all the time so it all feeds into improving the analyst experience through what you're able to glean whether it's using something like generative AI or whether it's even just building out a better user experience in the workflow. So I wasn't at Black Hat but we were at RSA and I didn't see a lot of generative AI demos. George Kurtz on his earnings call said we were pretty much the only at least large company or established company doing a real demo with Charlotte AI. We saw the demo up on stage, looked pretty good. First of all, was that your experience? Did you see others? I got to believe everybody is talking gen AI. Other companies like Palo Alto have AI shops and I know they're working on stuff if they haven't shown it yet but they probably have, I just not at the date on it. So how much of a differentiator is Charlotte AI in your opinion? You are 100% right at RSA. There's so much talk, so many people just saying things about generative AI but not a lot of implementation and then even at Black Hat, we were starting to see demos but they were so early, very like locked down private preview and the capabilities were very limited. I expect that we will see most vendors have some type of generative AI capability built into their security operations product by Q1 of next year, so by January, February timeframe. They're at different places with what they're building. There are a number of vendors who are definitely further along this path but there are also some who aren't. Would you say a CrowdStrike is further along? Is that? I would say CrowdStrike is one of the vendors that is definitely further along in what they've been able to demonstrate and in what they've been able to enable their customers with. I mean we know in this industry, it's like the NFL, I mean everybody catches up and it's just sort of game of leapfrog. But I mean I was impressed with what I saw in the demo. But back to the SOC analyst experience, how do you see that affecting, I mean you saw a lot of marketing terms, eight hours down to eight minutes but how ultimately Ali do you think it will affect the SOC analyst in their experience? There's a couple of areas where this is really important, right? It's not going to solve every problem. There's no reality where it replaces the analyst which is something that I hear quite a bit. But what it can do is it can save a lot of time on things like reporting because nobody wants to write a report, sit down for an hour and write a report. So it saves a ton of time there and in just understanding what's going on in an incident in a human readable way. So there's an element of this that is all about the texture of communicating in a way that human understands that we haven't been able to do so easily and so fluidly as we can with generative AI now. Then of course, there's the standpoint of what recommendations are you able to make so that you can orchestrate actions as an analyst faster and how can you speed up the time to make those decisions by basically giving them that on a silver platter and saying hey we think you need to take XYZ action, you can add as you see fit but these are at least the smallest set of actions that you need to take and just saving them time with that. I think that we talk a lot about generative AI saving time for the newer analysts. I actually think it's going to be a big enabler of analysts that are at the midpoint in their career or later because there's a set of actions that they know yeah I want to do that, I want to do that, I want to do that, I'm going to add on this one and then call it a day. Whereas the newer analyst is still trying to figure out is this the right action, what do I need to think about as I go through the process? Is that, I think it's three or 3.5 million open, is that a forester number? No. Okay, whatever, because forester has a lot of data around this stuff. We do. But it's a big end, let's just say. Do you think that generative AI will compress that end? I find this to be a very difficult question because the immediate answer is most people think, oh yes it's going to solve this problem, right? But at the same time some of the implementations that I've seen of generative AI in security tools are really broad and don't give actionable advice. They give advice, but it's not something that an analyst would actually implement or do. And so I worry that at least in some technologies and some vendor tools it's going to hamstring some analysts. Now there will be other tools, like a lot of what we've seen recently, that are able to help support the analyst and get them to that next level because they're trained on the right data and because they understand what next steps really need to happen. But I do think there's going to be a balance here where we're going to see some issues for analysts that are trying to figure out what the right thing to do is. What's been some of the feedback at the event for you? I presume you've spoken with a number of security analysts, crowd-strike customers and the ecosystem. What are some of the main challenges they're presenting you with and what's some of your advice to them to be able to do their jobs better and faster and in a way that to your point is actionable? Yeah. Unfortunately, it's the same challenges that we've seen for years and years and years, right? Complexity of the IT environment, day-to-day tasks, too much happening, too much pivoting and context switching between tools that comes up constantly. And it kind of feels like we're running on a hamster wheel with no end because inevitably we just see analysts facing these same problems. Now, my hope and what I'm seeing a lot with the industry is that XDR is helping to solve some of this because there's so much about XDR that is about building better workflows into the platform natively without having to build them yourself. But it's still a work in progress because even with XDR, a lot of the stack is much more limited than you'd see with something like a SEM or a security analytics platform. I'd love to have an analyst on who know the market because and I love, you know, we come to events like this. CrowdStrike is a sponsor of ours. I'm sure they're a client of yours as well. So we always disclose that, but we're independent and we want to kind of get to the truth. CrowdStrike is great marketing. And one of the lines that they've used all throughout this show is good enough is not good enough. And we know exactly who they're talking about. They're talking about Microsoft going right after Microsoft. But good enough is so alluring. You see this in so many of Microsoft's markets, certainly with Endpoint, with CrowdStrike. They recently announced more identity, more network security going after Okta and Zscaler respectively and others in that space. So Microsoft is a force. They've got a big business. They've got Azure. It's a flywheel for them. What do you make of that? Let's cut through the marketing and get to the reality. Customers will purchase from Microsoft because it's easy to do. It's obviously a competitive threat to companies like CrowdStrike. But are we at the point where, and there is a lot of overlap by the way between the accounts, we know that. Like there's, I don't know, 75, 80% overlap. Yes. In other words, CrowdStrike accounts is probably 70% plus. Also use Microsoft security tools. 100%. Maybe it's a lot of shelf wear. I don't know. So what are you seeing out there? Is this dynamic, are we separating from the pack in CrowdStrike, or is it more, Microsoft is sort of always there? Microsoft is such a behemoth in this space. It has been for so long. And when we talk about good enough isn't good enough and all of that, it depends on what values you have and what your goals are. One of the biggest problems in security, and I see this all the time. I've mentored a lot of students who are getting degrees in cybersecurity. And the thing they always say to me is, well, why don't these businesses just implement zero trust or implement this tool and then cybersecurity problem solved? But in reality, it's not that simple because the environment is complex because there are budget constraints, because there are staff constraints because they have to work with other teams like IT. And that's what happens with technology options as well is that sometimes good enough is unfortunately good enough because you don't have the budget to afford something else or you don't have the staff to afford something else. And so whenever I think about these problems, as much as I would love to say spend all of your money on all of these great tools and all of this great staff and get it all to work together, it's not a reality for every enterprise. And so there are many circumstances where I'll make recommendations based on the vendor that's best fit for that particular customer based on their needs. Sure, you got a car that's out of warranty. You could buy a new car or you could keep fixing the old car. Well, it might only be $2,000 to fix the existing car and you're going to get hit with another bill, six, nine, 12, 18 months down the road but you don't want to shell out $50, $60, $80,000 for a new car or take out a loan or interest rates are too high. Those factors weigh in. I mean, I would love to own a Ferrari. Does it make sense in New York streets? Maybe not. Maybe in Vegas with that one coming in a month. Yeah, yeah. What are some of the things that we can look out for from you on the research side, Ali, and where can we go to really get caught up with the things that you're... Yeah, thank you. Always open to connect on LinkedIn with anybody who wants to learn. One of the big benefits of my job is that I get to write and share with as many people as possible what's going on in the industry. So connect on LinkedIn, go to the Forrester website. I have a blog that's open to anyone. And as far as upcoming research, you mentioned it at the beginning, actually I have something coming out on SOC metrics that I'm really excited about because that's another key piece of this puzzle and a key piece to improving analyst experiences. How do you actually start measuring analyst experience so that you can make sure that over time you're improving it, not just guessing at it? And then I'm doing a lot of work on detection engineering and detectionist code and what that means for an enterprise because we are seeing more teams move towards that. So those types of pieces that are going to be way more into the process and the people side. I'm really excited by it. It sounds like some really innovative research that you're doing. What are those metrics that really matter in particular for that SOC analyst experience? Are you measuring burnout? If only, yes.  The way that we break up metrics is by tactical, operational and strategic metrics. So strategic is obviously going up to that board level. Operational is more SOC manager, even up to the VP of security operations in CISO and then the tactical or the SOC manager and security analysts. And a lot of times it comes down to a lot of the metrics that we know and kind of love to hate, like mean time to remediate, mean time to contain. But the thing that I always push is whenever you're measuring these metrics, you need to make sure that you're doing them in line with some other metric so that it makes sense. One of my colleagues refers this to having a numerator and a denominator.  Because maybe it's okay if you have more false positives because it's firing so much that there's a lot more that needs to be done there. Or for example, maybe you have more false positives but it's also something that if you didn't catch it, it would result in a breach. You're going to accept some more false positives so that you can make sure that you're protecting the organization. So making sure that you have both of those sides of the equation is very, very important when doing metrics. And the board wants to measure, I would guess, reduction in expected loss. Yes. Are we getting a return on our investment? That's how you would presumably measure it. Can you connect the operational and the tactical metrics to that? 100%. You read my mind. The tactical metrics roll up into the operational which roll up into the strategic. And at the point where you get to the strategic level, it's not just the sock that's affecting them. That's a big part of this for me too is if the board wants to get into what security operations is doing, you should be able to go there. But there's very few boards that are going to care or even know what security operations is. So keep it at that high level. Talk about it more from a security program perspective and then be able to dig deeper if there's a specific tool that you got buy in for that you want to show the value of or a full-time employee headcount that you got that you want to show the value of, things like that. Awesome. Allie, thank you so much for joining us on theCUBE and really talking about what that optimal security analyst experience can look like, the impact of GenAI, those sock metrics and some of the research that we can be on the lookout for you. We really appreciate you joining us today. Thank you. Thank you so much for having me. It was our pleasure. For Allie Mellon and Dave Vellante, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE from CrowdStrike Falcon 23. We'll be back with our next guest in a few minutes.
