So, today I want to talk about the men who want to genuinely invest in a long-term relationship versus those men who will use you, take advantage of you, string you along, waste your time. I think this would be an important topic to dive into today. So, but I want to share with you a meme my girlfriend had sent me yesterday, actually two of them, which I thought was kind of funny. We can dive into this conversation of how to really recognize the man who's chasing you and in particular what a man needs to actually chase or invest in a relationship. So, this first meme I think is kind of cute. It says, dating when you're older is like finding a shopping cart with good wheels at Walmart. Dating when you're older is like finding a shopping cart with good wheels at Walmart, which I think that's kind of funny because recently we're at the grocery store and we got a cart that had terrible wheels on it. So, I was like, oh, as soon as we got a good one, yay, we got a good one. And that's what it might feel like in the dating, mating and relating realm today. But the meme I wanted to dive into for everyone today reads like this, and I'm going to repeat it twice. I no longer want to see where it goes. I want to know exactly where you plan on taking me on taking us. Let me repeat that for everyone. I no longer want to see where it goes. I want to know exactly where you plan on taking us, taking me and taking us. So, have you ever thought to yourself, where is this relationship going? Have you ever thought about asking a man, where is this relationship going? Certainly, I think that's a very valid question. What are your intentions with investing time with me? What are your intentions now that you've pursued me and we've been physically intimate with one another? What are your intentions? I think these are really good questions to ask, and yet so few women are reluctant to ask the question, where is this relationship going? For fear that it will cause the man to discontinue wanting to see you. Think about that. Fear that he will discontinue wanting to see you by simply asking, what are your intentions? Isn't that kind of scary to think that this relationship is so weak? It's so fragile by simply asking the question, what are your intentions? And yet, many women literally have duct tape over their mouth when it comes to this question. It's no wonder dating now is what I call a long drawn out version of friends with benefits. That's right, a long drawn out version of friends with benefits. See, dating today seems to be lacking one fundamental piece for creating a healthy happy relationship, and that is intention. Intention, in other words, what is your intention? Why are you investing in me? See, one of the reasons why I created my private coaching program, by the way, there's a link right here to schedule a discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you. What I help women do is differentiate between the men who will most likely waste your time or use you versus the men who genuinely want a life mate. Genuinely want a life mate. See, what this meme is asking is, what is your plan? You've made this investment in me, what is your plan? Now, ladies, you also should be thinking the same thing. What is your plan for the amount of time you've spent with someone? What is your plan? What is your desire? These are really good questions to ask yourself rather than finding yourself in short lived experiences. So we're going to dive into this topic right now. I want to share with you how to differentiate between the men who are going to waste your time versus those men who really will... Let me re-backtrack. Let me rewind that. To know a man will only chase you when this happens, that's the title. What has to happen? This is what I want to lean into. What has to happen? So when a man is... Let me just read from my notes. I simply say when a man is in a good place, he has his act together and he knows what he wants. When the right person arrives, he'll invest in her. He'll chase her. I'm going to repeat that for everyone. When a man is in a good place, he has his act together and he knows what he wants. When the right person arrives, he'll invest in her, he'll chase her. And here's the thing, when a man is not in a good place or his act isn't together, or he doesn't know what he wants.  In other words, he'll never commit to this woman even when things change in his life. When his act is together, he's in a good place or he knows what he wants. It's very rare that he'll want this woman because when a man is not in a good place and yet you're spending time with a man not in a good place, when he's actually in a good place, he discards the person he's with because he wants to become a bright, shiny penny to someone new. He doesn't want to stay with this person who basically helped him out along the way because she saw him at his worst. He wants to be bright, shiny penny to someone new. Has this ever happened to you or have you ever experienced this? Now it's important to differentiate the idea of chase here for a moment. See, chase is, you gotta understand that chase, a lot of men will chase lust. They'll chase limerence. Lust and limerence is a man will chase sex. In fact, every man will chase sex.  And certainly when a man is even in a good place, he'll chase sex, okay? You see, ultimately to differentiate what has to happen for a man who really wants, who is willing to invest in someone, he has to want a significant and serious relationship in his life. And if he's ambivalent about it for whatever reason that's going on in his life, he may chase you, he may invest in you, he may seek connection with you, but that doesn't mean he'll fully commit to you. See, for a man to fully commit, one factor has to be in place before he's ever going to fully commit to a woman. By the way, have you ever heard the phrase, women are the gatekeepers of sex and men are the gatekeepers of commitment? I'm gonna repeat that. Women are the gatekeepers of sex and men are the gatekeepers of commitment. What that basically means is, woman decides when she'll have sex with a man. The man decides who he'll commit to. And this one factor has to be in place before a man can ever truly commit to a woman. And he has to be experiencing this thing to really lean into a healthy, serious, happy relationship. And he has to reach a point of, I want to take care of this person. I want to take care of this person. Doesn't mean that he has to pay all her bills. It doesn't mean that he pay, it's about fully financially taking care of her. Taking care of can mean a variety of different things. It could be financially or at least be able to contribute financially to the partnership of the relationship. He has to want to do that for the two of you. He has to want to physically take care of you if you're ever sick. If you're ever in a place where you actually might not, you might find yourself in a terminal illness. He has to be in that place of reaching, I want to take care of her no matter what. And this also means I have to reach the place of emotionally taking care of her. This means trust has to have been built and trust isn't just about fidelity, trust is. Can I count on this person when I need them? Do they have my best interest at hand? Can I share my most vulnerable side knowing that they're not going to run away? That is what trust is all about, to be vulnerable, to be authentic, to be transparent with a partner. That's what trust is all about. For a man to reach this point, he has to A, truly know he wants a committed relationship before he ever goes on a date with a woman. See, the men who are ambivalent about it, the men that are not intentional, you're rolling the dice, okay? Now hopefully if he has his act together and he's in a good place emotionally, the odds might be in your favor, but if he's not in a good place emotionally, if he's not in a good place physically in his life, if he doesn't have his act together, then your chances of this person actually chasing you for something other than sex is a very slim chance, very slim chance. See, he has to know that he wants a life mate. And when he wants a life mate, he'll invest in the right woman. See, you'll know this ladies, you'll know within three months, if a man, if he's progressing the relationship along, he's in a good place, he's got his act together and he's been very clear about wanting a serious relationship, you're not even gonna be watching this video, you didn't even need to watch this video. What you're mostly wondering is, I've got a guy who's broken, he's not in a good place, he doesn't have his act together, he doesn't know what he wants. What's gonna change for this guy?  If you're hoping for some magic formula, some magic fairy dust to come down from the ethers, that will change him, you're barking up the wrong tree, that's delusional thinking. And ultimately, it does require a bit of connection, a bit of time, a bit of investment to one another, but when a man says, I wanna take care of her, then he knows that's the woman he wants to invest for the long term and hopefully you're in the same place with him as well. I hope this is resonating with you to really know what it takes for a man to really chase someone from a healthy perspective, he has to want a life mate. If he doesn't want a life mate, I need to take it slow, I don't know what I want, I need time. All those men that are putting you in the category of casual relationship, situationships, friends with benefits, but you don't really know it, those men will waste your time and I'm here to encourage you to try something different. That's why, listen, if you need to help, check out the links below in the description to schedule a discovery call with me to see if working with a coach is right for you. Is this sinking in? Is this resonating? Please let me know. All right, for those who know my format, this is our live stream. If you have a question for me, write the word question, then post the question there after or you can purchase a Super Sticker Super Chat, all the monies from the Super Sticker Super Chat goes to a scholarship fund in the name of my son, Connor Asley. That's a picture of him right there in the Obey shirt. He's my son who passed away almost five years ago. In fact, five years ago next week, week from today. And his honor I donate to causes like the Hoffman process and Insight Institute, just the name of you. All right, oh, also the Seeds of Love, which is an organization for children who've been abandoned by their parents because they have a terminal illness. This is in Cali, Columbia. And so I'm donating to that cause as well. So make sure you invest by hitting that little dollar sign and purchasing a Super Sticker Super Chat. And if you're watching the replay, you can hit a super thanks. All right, if you have a question, write the word question and let's get it going. Sammy says, hey, Jonathan, of course this resonates with me. Well, that's good to hear. Cici says, I can't find anyone worth more than two dates. Remember going back to this meme that I shared earlier, let me read that again. Dating when you're older is like finding a shopping cart with good wheels at Walmart. I get that. I understand how that feels, you know? And so, listen, before I met Marie, I had been single for about five years. I mean, not in a relationship with someone. And I remember I couldn't get past a second date with anyone. When I say I couldn't get past a second date, there were a lot of first dates that happened that I didn't wanna meet someone a second time. There were only two or three women who I actually saw a second time. I remember one woman I dated for about three weeks. We saw each other about a half a, no, maybe seven, eight, nine times. I can't remember, about nine times. But it just wasn't the right fit. So I understand what it feels like to not get past that second date mark, okay? So what does that say? Says that, you know, there's a lot of moving parts into developing a healthy happy relationship with someone. Certainly that chemistry piece is what we recognize first. But beyond chemistry, there has to be an alignment with a person. There has to be synergy. Do you share the same values? Are your lifestyles blendable? And more importantly, does this person have the emotional maturity to actually dive into a healthy happy relationship? And I can understand where a lot of first dates never get anywhere because the reality is these days we're meeting people through our devices. We're meeting people through our devices. So we don't even know if we have any energetic connection with them. You know what, in the case of Marie and I, I was kind of fortunate because, you know, when we had our first date, it wasn't even a date. We were just planning on meeting each other. We took the date out of the equation and we were just two friends meeting. And I didn't realize that we would have this good connection with one another. I really wasn't expecting a relationship to happen out of this encounter. I really just thought I was just meeting a new friend. And I was surprised that we actually did really hit it off. Now, we weren't perfectly aligned with one another, but what we had was intentionality. We had our act together. And what did I say? We were in a both in a relatively good place in our life. And because we had these three things going for us, we're both on the same page, you know, take that with a little bit of chemistry and we were off to the races. So I get why it's frustrating and at the same time, I just want to remind everyone, you got to break some eggs to make an omelet. That's part of the process. If you think that this isn't going to be easy, I've got news for you. There's nothing easy about finding a life mate in our current environment today. So you have to be willing to persevere. And she and I met through a dating app or dating site, I should say it was match.com. She believes we first met on millionaire match, but it was, I believe we might have connected with one another there, but our first email with one another was through match.com. So just so you know that dating sites do work. All right, well, thanks for your share, CC. But Marie says, happened to my daughter. She broke up, then she ran into him and she got so depressed.  He's a freeloader with friends and he think he's all that. Yeah, sadly that does happen. Thanks for sharing that, Marie. Okay, Lady Luna says, when a man says he isn't good boyfriend material because he's a widower with two kids and doesn't have time to see anyone more than once a week, is that an excuse? Dates are only dinner. No, he is absolutely telegraphing that he will use you. That's what he's telegraphing. Now he's not, his conscious mind doesn't think he's using you. What his conscious mind is saying is I don't have enough time for a serious relationship.  I guarantee you, he has no problem making that request and a lot of women will acquiesce to that request.  I have two kids, they take up my time. And so are these excuses? No, he's clearly telling you he will never choose you as a partner. See, a man knows rather quickly the women he's willing to invest in from a long-term perspective versus the women he will use from a short-term perspective. These are men with short-term mating strategies versus a long-term mating strategy. And he's clearly identified himself as a man who's seeking short-term gain and that's why dates are only dinner because alcohol leads to the penis going inside the vagina. Okay, lady, I hope I've given you some context if you have some more questions to ask, please do so. All right, Leah has a question, she's in the house. Leanne, I had a recent breakup with an emotionally available man. I met him at a Mexican restaurant that we're regulars at. I'm going to continue to see him on a regular basis for happy hour. Wait, and then the follow-up, okay, now I got it here. How can I make things go smoothly without booth call, without booth call hit up? Well, he's clearly, and it's, you had a recent breakup. He sounds like he's a good guy. You just simply don't need to engage with him. And if you want to engage, just be friendly with him, be polite, be diplomatic, act like a woman with grace. If he does make overtures from a sexual perspective, which that's what happy hour does, gives the man alcohol courage to want to, you know, request physical intimacy with you. You have the power to say, no. I'd be curious to know what the reason was you broke up and how long you dated for, but that's my invitation for you. All right, Jennifer's in the house. Hey, Jennifer, I had so many one-date wonders. Some of the men I met weren't seeking serious relationships so I don't show interest. And the others weren't a match energetically. Yes, guess what? You gotta break a lot of eggs. I think I've had hundreds and hundreds of meat and greets in my life. Some women were probably, I was interested in them. They weren't interested in me. Some were interested in me. I wasn't interested in them. Some of them we weren't interested in each other. Some of them I wasn't aligned with them. Or our lifestyles were a mismatch or they didn't have the emotional maturity I seek or I didn't have the emotional maturity they see. So, you know what, it's a role, it is effort. It does require effort to attract a healthy, happy mate in your life. This thinking in, I hope it is. All right, as Sammy says, you gotta break some eggs, exactly. Kathy says, date tons and tons of guys, some for months, some for years, never had anyone break. Well, that's good. Yep, nobody breaks. Oh, I think I get it. So, you gotta break some eggs to make an omelet. I think what you meant to say, Kathy has none of them turned into an omelet. Well, guess what? There is a lid for every pot out there.  What do they have in common? You know, there was a book I've recommended. Now, I don't love everything about this book. Where is it? Hold on, where'd it go? Where is that book? Oh, shoot. I was gonna talk about the book, Why Men Love Bitches. Now, I'm not a big fan of 100% of this book, but what I love about this book is the empowerment it talks about. It talks about some of the fundamentals I teach in my book called, What the Heck Is Self Love? Anyway, A Journey of Personal Development, Self-Open Spiritual Work. By the way, there's a link below to get a copy of my book. And by the way, I'm gonna keep talking. I'm curious where the heck that book is now. Why Men Love Bitches, it's somewhere here. God, that's bugging me. Well, anyway, I'm gonna have to look for it later. All right, so why do I'm talking about this book? It's an empowerment book. When the one common thread every woman has who's in a healthy, happy relationship with a man who's an emotional grownup has his act together and knows what he wants, those women having common, they're not attached to the outcome. They are very clear on their standards. They set boundaries. They're in a good place in their life. They have their act together. They're not negative towards men. They're not complaining about men. They're not complaining about the process. But most importantly, what they have is a sense of, I'm okay, no matter what happens. I don't need a man to fulfill my life. I'm not dependent upon men. I just like the idea of the idea of what George Clooney said. Life is better with company. And when you come at it from the mindset of really healthy, happy mindset, you'd be surprised you wouldn't even have to put yourself out on dating apps. Quality men come out of the woodwork when you're in the right mindset. That's something I invite for everyone who's watching this. All right, Kristen writes, it's three months and I'm seeing him tonight. How do I ask him, where is it going? So, okay, so the question, where is this relationship going? All right, we know that question isn't all that attractive. So let's think of other ways to ask the same question. One question could be is, what is your desire for spending time with me? Are you seeking a long-term committed relationship? And am I someone that you're considering from that regard? What is your desire for seeing me?  And am I one of those persons that you consider for a long-term perspective? It's been three months. Okay, that's a question to ask. You can ask him, what does commitment mean to you? What does commitment look like for you? When do you think you'll know you're ready for a committed relationship? Ask questions and start going down the rabbit hole of where these answers take you. See, I've never liked the question, where is this relationship going? I like what the meme says. Let me read this meme one more time for everyone, okay? Let me read this meme. I no longer wanna see where it goes. I wanna know exactly where you plan on taking me on taking us. See, you can simply say, look, I only wanna invest, I'm not interested in investing any more time in this relationship if you don't know what you want from a long-term perspective.  I'm gonna put a chassis belt on, okay? When you come, if you're not, if you don't know the answer to that question, then I'm putting a chassis belt on you. You can take me out to dinners, you can wine and dine me, but you don't get my vagina until you actually know the answer to that question.  Women are allowed to do whatever they want. They can do whatever they want with their bodies. I get it, but when it comes to understanding men, recognize this. A man gets to have, basically, what's the quote I heard? Why give wife benefits at girlfriend prices? Why give wife benefits at girlfriend prices? What I mean to say is not that I want sexist to be used as a game, I'm simply saying this. Sex should be intimate, physical intimacy with one another should be coveted. It should be reserved for people who want to explore a long-term relationship, not this cavalier way we approach dating today. And quite frankly, dating today is just those, like I said, dating is a long drawn out version of friends with benefits. You know, it literally took me a few weeks to clearly state to Marie, I want to pursue a long-term relationship with you. It didn't take me very long. In fact, the one common thread I've seen with every man who's in a healthy, happy relationship, they all say the same thing. I knew very early on, I knew within three months I wanted to pursue a long-term relationship with someone. I recently officiated a wedding for a couple. He said I knew by the fourth month I wanted to explore a long-term relationship with her. And then they got married two and a half, three years later. Men know within three months. You're right at the three month mark. So I hope that helps, Kristen. All right, thanks so much. Wanda's in the house, question. I'm now on Facebook dating app and I seem to get all of the guys that the photos start off younger and end up with older. I put in my profile looking for a companion with space. Is that a good idea? Companionship with space. Well, first off, most people over 60 years, 50, 60 years old are gonna use younger photos because of age discrimination. Men and women discriminate based on age. Ladies, you are no better than men when it comes to age discrimination. Men tend to want younger women for a variety of different reasons. One in particular is a younger woman might be more sexually attractive than a woman's own age. That's one possible reason. Also another possible reason is men believe that women of their own age are rather bitter and jaded. And by the way, there's a lot of evidence to suggest the men might feel that way. But be valid for feeling that way. I'm simply here to say, but women discriminate men based on age, based on body type. You do also the same type of discrimination. So it's not uncommon that people use younger pictures. Does that make it right? No, it doesn't. But people just want a chance. They just want a chance at a relationship. So, but you're looking for a companion with space. Just remember you're going to get someone who may not want to fully commit to you. And if that's okay with you, that's fine too. I'm not here to judge that. I'm just here to say, if you follow my channel, my hope is because you want a long-term, healthy, happy relationship with someone. All right, thanks for posting. Cindy wrote, what does it mean after a five year relationship? He tells me he needs some space and he needs time to find himself. Is this a breakup or does the 15 year old man does this to his partner? Well, clearly something isn't working in your relationship for him. Okay, something isn't working. I don't know how often you see each other. I don't know if you've integrated into each other's lives, but something isn't working. So I would ask him, obviously something isn't working for you in this relationship requiring space. May ask you, what needs are not being met for, what needs do you have from me that are not being met? What needs do you have from me that are not being met that requires you to take space? What needs do you have from me that are not being met that requires you to have space? Now he's not gonna tell you the truth, okay? Because I suspect the two of you do not have the kind of relationship that was built on emotional intimacy. You probably had a surface level relationship. Surface level is you're doing life. You're not being in each other's life, okay? That's my suspicion anyway. So that's what you can ask him. He's not gonna answer honestly, most likely. Then you have to say, do you wanna reserve yourself for a man who doesn't want to be with you? And you'll most likely wait around because that's what women do, you'll waste time. And then when he finds someone else to replace you, you're gonna be bad mouthing him to every one of you and your friends. See, I'm here to encourage everyone to build a solid relationship from the very first time you planted the seed and you began watering the relationship. And my suspicion is the two of you don't have that kind of relationship that has been co-created and genuinely integrated with one another. And again, I'm making a lot of assumptions here, Cindy. But what I will say this, at the moment in time, he doesn't wanna be in relationship with you. That is very crystal clear. And I'm sorry you've experienced that. Leah says we dated four months, he doesn't wanna commit.  That's a question I have for you.  Why are we having sex with people that we haven't built trust with one another? That's a question I have.  But guess what? If you're not integrating into each other's lives, if you're not building from the very first meeting, then what's the chances that's gonna last later on down the road when there's bumps in the relationship? Please forgive me for being crass, but that's my opinion on this. Jennifer says, thanks for the shout out. My last date told me he was a workaholic and it comes first. He told me who he is and I believed him. Good to know that.  Question, in a long-term relationship of late, I have one after another ailment to figure out but I feel guilty, so how long can he hang in there? You know, I think when there is genuine, genuine love for another human being, you'll want, how do I say this?  Recognizing that life is rather short, folks, I mentioned earlier that by the way, please purchase a super sticker, super chat if this is resonating with you. Please donate to the Conner Asley Scholarship Fund. You know, my son's passing will be five years next week. Life can change in a moment. I'm grateful for every moment of those 19 years and a few months I had with my son. You know, had he died at birth or prior to that, I would have felt the same way and my point being is every day is a gift. So when there's genuine love, we want to stick around because there's genuine love and care there. See, the problem with most everybody today is they don't know how to build love with one another. Let me just tell you, bonding happens through social activities. It happens through hobbies. It happens through mutual interest. It happens through spending time with family and friends when you integrate into each other's lives, when you're both in a good place and you have your act together. That's when love begins to happen. Love doesn't happen on the internet. Love doesn't happen on text messaging. Love happens in the doing of life together. That's when real love begins to happen. So my hope is for you. He hangs in there for you, Melanie. I hope that for you. Thanks so much for your question. Kim says, weekend getaway, weak vacation, non-paid from work for me costing one K. He wanted to meet his friends on a trip out of state, said he'd help with the cost. Well, that's, I don't see a question there, but Kim, that's very sweet that he's willing to help out. That sounds like a good man, at least from what you've said so far. Thanks for that question. Kathy says, Jonathan, why do you think all guys that I dated for so many years, months or willing to date more without sex? Why do you think all guys that I've dated for many years, months or willing to date more without sex? I don't really understand your question. I apologize. I'm not understanding the context of that question. Ms. Ashley says, I feel like Tupperware, it's hard to find a lid that hasn't been washed in the dishwasher. Oh, what a cute, share there. Thank you for that quote. All right. Let's see, simply sky blue as a question. I work 60 hours a week and overnight off two days a week. That seems like a deal breaker for a man that I met the other night who's a banker. Should I even bother trying to date? I'll be candid with you. I knew for me, and I suspect it might be the same for this banker, I wanted a day in, day out relationship where we spent on average a minimum of three or four days and nights a week together, doing shared activities, hobbies, mutual interest, spending time with family and friends, traveling together, teamwork, building skills, both in our personal and our professional life, intimacy, both physical and emotional intimacy, that led to either moving in together, getting married. So if someone had a very busy work schedule, that wouldn't have worked for me. Now, with that said, you most likely have to find someone who has a busy schedule, but just remember, people that have a busy schedule do what's called a bubble relationship. They get together, have a good time, but oftentimes it's only in the context of that good time that that relationship is, it's not really bonding outside of the good time. You have to have conflict to grow from. You have to have contrast to grow from. So should you bother dating, you should always make effort. I'm not here to suggest what you should or shouldn't do. Just recognize that a lot of men who are like myself wouldn't want to be with someone who doesn't have the time to invest in the kind of relationship that I wanted. Now, there are plenty of men that I have are only capable of a part-time relationship. That's the men you should be looking for. All right? All right, Sandra has a question. I've been with this man for over six years. He spends his money on me and shows me a great time when he's in town, works out of town and travels. When marriage comes up, he says he's not marriage material. I'm assuming your question is why? Well, because he gets all the benefits of sweeping into town, whining and dining you, getting his sex, and then he can move right back out to what he's doing. It's quite possible he could be married. That's a possibility. He could have a couple relationships, but this is a man who clearly, after six years, who doesn't want to commit to you long-term, what are you doing? What are you, let me ask you this question, Sandra. What do you want before you met him? What did you want? Remember I said in the beginning of this broadcast, I said, a man will chase you when this happens, ladies, you can only receive, listen, you can only, you have to know what you want and then choose men who want the same thing. You have to, six years for you to drag the set, for allowing it to go on six years tells me, you don't know what you want. And if you do, you're hoping the magic fairy dust will change this guy, Sandra. Clearly state what you want, then establish that standard and that boundary with him and if it doesn't meet, then you move on. Sorry I'm yelling. Sometimes I feel like I gotta smack you all upside the head. BCM says, thank you for you are fabulous, love your info all you share. Thank you, I appreciate you. Hey, you know what's funny, right while I was working, I got a text message from my son. I wanna share this with everyone. Out of the blue, my son texted me. Here, I just wanna show this to everybody. Hey, I just felt like saying I love you. I feel like I forget to say it sometimes and I appreciate you. I think I trained my son right. The fact that he does that. Folks, you know, when you genuinely have, think about your children. These are the people that oftentimes we're giving the love and they don't give it back to us, right? Well, this is what happens with a lot of you women. You're giving love to men and they aren't giving it back to you. A real healthy person like my son is will share how they feel about you out of the blue. Anyway, thank you so much for your questions or thanks for I appreciate that. All right, let's see. Oh, Susan's in the house. I caught you live. By the way, folks, everyone, I want you to type in the search bar, Susan Winter. Susan Winter, okay? She is fabulous. I love her content. I love what she has to share. I mean, the search bar of YouTube, follow her work. She is fantastic.  Susan, I love you. Thanks for being on. She's a great coach. All right, Ms. McCoy's Oak Hill Farm says, what are the signs of scammers? There seems to be a ton of them out there. So a couple signs, a couple things are they oftentimes tend to be widowers. Okay, first and foremost, they rarely want to get on the telephone, but that's starting to change because of AI. They rarely want to get on the telephone. They want to take it off the dating apps to your email accounts. They never face time with you. That's the fastest way to, you know, by the way, someone who is either a catfisher or a scammer will not face time WhatsApp or Zoom with you. Folks, that should be something you should do by the third interaction with someone is immediately verify if they're real. And so that's the best way to solve that problem. Get on, and if they refuse, just say, okay, when you can, then we'll talk, okay? All right, McCoy says, what are the things a person could ask for proof of who they are and not step on a person's privacy? You know, if someone is willing to put themselves out there on the dating sites as an example or if someone wants to date, I think you have every fucking right to ask for their first, last name, okay? And the city they live in. If they're too private to give out that information, I don't care. By the way, ladies, you have to be willing to do the same thing because we don't know who's real. I think you have every right to do a background check. I think you have every right to look them up under social media, okay? But the best thing to do is do a face time before you invest hours upon hours upon thousands and thousands and thousands of hours text messaging. How's your day going? Did you have a good day? I hope you had a good day. I hope you had a good day.  You're so beautiful.  How's your day? I'm thinking about you. Oh, I'm thinking about you. Thinking about you. Thinking about you. You're on T-O-Y, thinking of you. Thinking of you toy. I'm always thinking of you all day long. I just think of you and I think of you and I think of you.  Isn't exhausting to have a text relationship? Want to get real? Get on the phone, FaceTime with one another, WhatsApp with one another, meet each other in person. All right, I'm yelling. Hey, S1W, thank you so much for the Super Sticker. I really appreciate it. Thank you so much for donating in the Connor Asley Fund. We really appreciate it. Let's keep going. Let's keep going. Thank you, thank you, no sex for, wait. Wanda says, no sex here for any of the guys I may meet. I'm more interested in having something special with someone. There you go. All right, question from Ashley. Miss Ashley's in the house, very close to Asley. I look younger than my age. I have a tendency to attract men of a younger age. What can I do to attract someone of my own age?  My sweetheart, when you're older than me, there are plenty of men that are quite happy being with women their own age. And I understand you look younger. By the way, everybody looks younger. Everybody looks, not everybody, a lot of people look younger. So how do I attract someone of my own age? Listen, put yourself out there. It's okay to fudge on your dating profile by a half a dozen years, okay? You can then clearly state in your profile your age. If someone's attracted to your photograph, you're roughly your age or about your age, they're going to approach you. If you look the, if you're attractive enough to some, by the way, I'm assuming there are a lot of men your own age that will write you. You're just not interested in them. What you're really saying is, how do I attract a man I'm attracted to who's my own age, okay? You're probably getting a lot of men interested in you. You're just not accepting those men. That's what I suspect might be happening. And you might want to maybe cast your net wider, open up the possibility that a man of really good character is a hell of a lot more important than a man who just doesn't have wrinkles and maybe have a few extra pounds on them. That's just the suggestion. Okay, Miss Ashley, thank you so much. Hey, I want to give props to Marie G for the $10 super sticker. I really appreciate that. Wait, wait, where'd it go? Let's see, where did that go? I saw it there. Marie G, thank you so much for the $10 super sticker. We really appreciate it.  Ladies, you should listen to him. Stop sexting these losers. Listen, LNY, she's a therapist. She's given me props. Thank you so much. I appreciate it. All right, let's keep going. Nicole says, friends with a younger man for one year, he started to ask me on dates in the last two months and we went on a trip together. It's wonderful. Not sure if it's just a casualdom. He's 20 and I'm in my late 30s. Hey, we all want fun. But my question is, do you just want fun or do you want something serious? If you want something serious, then ask serious questions. Resolve says, Jonathan, I'm leaving the chat because you're recommending of being so frustrated. You want to smack someone upside the head, made me feel uncomfortable. I'm sorry I made you feel uncomfortable. I am just being a little bit humorous. But yes, sometimes, listen, folks, sometimes we all need a smack upside the head. We need a reality check. We need a kick in the pants. That's all I'm doing is kicking in the pants a little bit. Marie says, I FaceTime every night with my love. At least she knows the guy is real. That's good to hear. Sandra says, I've known him for years. He's not married and we speak all the time. I want more, but I have trouble letting go. Thanks, Jonathan, for the hit in the head helped. We'll see. Now there's someone who said the hit in the head helped. Let's see. Melinda says, I also watch Susan Winter high from the Netherlands. And Miss Susan Winter says, hi, Roller Girl. All right, let's keep going here. Susan goes on to say, preach, Jonathan, adore you, my friend, solid info for the ladies. I appreciate that. Uncle Jonathan on his ranch, I appreciate that. What is, Matthew Hussie calls groundhog dating. In a recent video, it's where dating is on a schedule and a routine. I think I heard him say that, yeah, like groundhog day. All right, let's keep going. All right, what do we got here? Melanie says, young ones don't have a clue. That's it to knock sense into their head. Yes, I appreciate that. Marie G says, no question, Jonathan, just supporting you and Marie. Thank you so much. Actually, Marie's daughter was sweet enough to come visit us today. You know, truly it's interesting. So I know a couple that met and after five months moved in together and they moved in together. They signed a year lease and the relationship just ended. And it occurs to me that in this particular dynamic, you know, they're going their separate ways. They gave it their best shot. They had a very conscious uncoupling with one another. And I wonder, and by the way, they knew probably six months in and it wasn't going to work out. So roughly, but I wonder, had they just continued to date for a year and a half, the relationship will probably wouldn't have lasted that long anyway, what moving in together does. And I'm not recommending this for everybody, but what it does is you really don't know who a person is until you actually live with them. You don't know who they are as a person until you actually live with them. So I shared this about six months ago with everybody when Marie and I were watching the show, Love is Blind, okay? And I had an interesting revelation. So this is a TV show where two people are talking in these pods, they can't physically see each other and they build up all this tension with one another to the point where one of them has to ask the other, the marry each other, okay? And when they've agreed to the engagement then they meet for the first time, this is usually about two weeks later, they've been doing these pods for about 10 days, excuse me. Then they go on a one week honeymoon, okay? Now during the honeymoon, oftentimes the couples have sex and then after the honeymoon, they have to spend I believe eight weeks together in a home together. They basically, the organization Love is Blind on Netflix rents them a home, I don't know exactly how it works and they have to spend eight weeks together and then they decide if they wanna get married. So this whole dynamic happens within a 10 week period of time. You go from stranger to marriage in 10 weeks, okay? Now most of us would say, oh my God, that's ludicrous. That is ludicrous, most everyone would think. I actually think this is a brilliant way to make better choices because you really don't know someone until you live with them. We had this long drawn out version, I call it friends with benefits and you realize that most people dating never get married. Most people that are dating never get married. It's a very small percentage of people that get married, okay, or live together with someone. So why not condense, rather than dragging out for years, how many people on this post said six years and three years and two years in the comments section? Why are we dragging things out? How about we fucking cut to the chase really quickly to see if we're a good fit with one another because it's a lot easier to heal from a short lived experience that didn't work out than a long drawn out experience that usually ends in someone, a person being a jackass saying, I just wanna end the relationship. At least the couple that lived together, they had to make a conscious choice to end the relationship. They had to have multiple, multiple conversations to not agree to renew the lease. I'm just making this as a suggestion. Think about it. So anyway, this will be our last question of the night. So any dating sites you would recommend for someone in their early 40s? Well, again, Marie and I met through match.com and millionaire match. I know the site millionaire match might sound like a gold digger site or a sugar daddy site, but it's actually, I found the women on millionaire match to be different than the ones on plenty of fish. Plenty of fish is a free site. Didn't really have to make much of investment in it. Millionaire match is $70 a month. You gotta spend some bucks to be in this. You think about it, $70 a month is nothing to find a life partner. It's nothing, it's peanuts. That and match.com, so a hundred bucks a month. You'd be surprised. And yeah, you might have to spend hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of dollars to find a mate, that's worth it. But I felt like people who have to spend $70 a month are probably a little more serious than the people that spend zero, like bumble, hinge, tinder, that sort of thing. So to answer your question, happy hippo, that's where Marie and I met was match.com. Hey, you know what? I was only gonna do a 30 minute video today. This went a lot longer.  He is in the mindset of wanting a long-term partner. He has his act together, he's in a good place, and he clearly knows he wants a life partner. And when he finds the right woman, he says, I wanna take care of her, that's the one he'll commit to. Is this sinking in, is this resonating? Please let me know.

I'm gonna reach into the camera and give you a hug of love if that's okay. I'm gonna ask you to turn to someone, a pet, Teddy Barrett pillow and give Iter them a hug of love because hugs are a great source of love. And let's face it, we could all use more love in our lives. I wanna thank McCoy Oak Hill Farm and Merlinda and Sherry Lynn and Happy Hippo and Leigh Ann and Lisa and Wanda and Melanie and Julie and Brian. Brian's in the house. Let's give some props to him. This Ashley Marie G. Oh, by the way, folks, really quickly, I wanna read something to you. Bear with me. I think it was Brian who wrote this, bear with me. Oh, come on. I got a comment the other day. I want everyone to hear this. Oh, this came from someone called Boston Rocks 2012. I wanna read this to everyone. Interesting video. This is on a one I did over the weekend. Interesting video. I'm a 63-year-old professional athlete, divorce male here. I agree 100% that a man will know within 90 days if he's interested in pursuing a serious relationship with a particular woman. Healthy guys who have done the work will open up at the appropriate time in the appropriate manner so you will not have to doubt where you stand in his mind. His actions will also be indicative of the direction he wants the relationship to take. I will also tell you that 100% certainty that most fit, successful, adventurous, fun guys in my inner circle prefer to be in monogamous, committed relationships with one great woman who complements his life. There, I read it, right there, right there. I read it. There's a guy telling you exactly what I've been saying.  They have their act together that want full commitment. Thank you, Boston Rocks for that. And also thank you, Brian, for being in the house. We're gonna wrap up this video by saying bye, everyone. Hope you have a great evening. Thanks so much.


Welcome to access a 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 morning everybody. Welcome to another edition of the AccessItTrader.com weekend update show. Everybody is having a great weekend.   Again God bless all of us who live in the northeast in Canada. Everywhere there's cold weather is just enough. It's just absolutely enough and a couple of weeks of long vacation I need sun like a fish needs water so hopefully you guys are having a great weekend. Hopefully you guys are trading well. So let's talk about the markets. Welcome all you guys for joining us on weekly basis via Stocktwits, YouTube, Facebook and of course all our faithful followers on Twitter. Welcome. Welcome. So again we do these weekend updates for the point of the trader. Again like I say this every single week that there's a million websites out there that will tell you about what's going on with the Fed and how they're not going to raise rates anymore and then they're going to cut rates and growth is slowing and Powell and this is not the other thing. Again we're speaking from the traders point of view. We're speaking from the traders point of view. There's 30,000 of the sites more than happy. You can go on any site and read exactly what happened last week. We're talking about from the traders point of view how it affects us how it emotionally affects us, how it technically affects us and how can we get better processing all the information and moving forward. So Friday was a very aggressive day to the downside. Before we even talk about Friday's session I think one of the best questions and I was asked this, I always ask to get this question always towards the top or towards the bottom and again by no means am I saying this is the top or this is a reversal for anything. This is a common question and if you guys remember on the FOMC day on Wednesday the NASDAQ futures I think let's see if we go back to Wednesday, if we go back to Wednesday you'll see here so the NASDAQ futures on Wednesday's session went all the way all the way down. They came in really really aggressively into the close and what happened was if you notice all the stocks like Amazon and Netflix Apple they all got stronger and there was no greater sentiment, there's no greater clue what's going to happen next and how the stocks react when there is a speed bump and the next day the Dow opened down and I said based on last night's close and just the way there was so much strength and disconnect from the indexes into these beta names all the values on the long side and the next day we had that 200 point rally and somebody asked me well again the market makes no sense, first of all again the market's never going to make any sense there's no such thing as the normal market or a normal environment, the market's never going to make any sense the market's always going to do things that it's completely out of left field and that's why I always say charts don't lie but sometimes they don't tell you the truth either so we had this big big move, sent them and was very very strong it was call buyers everywhere sweeps everywhere and again I get this question what are the bears finally going to do what they need to do for this market to stop going up and I turn around and I said well stocks just got stocks just need to stop going up that's right, this is the million dollar advice you're getting from me right now real estate it's that simple stocks need it to stop going up and before you turn around and say well that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard of course stocks need to stop going up before they go down but there's actually a method to this madness if you saw what happened on Friday actually going back to even Thursday's session there's one thing I started noticing I started seeing a lot of call buying a lot of call buying in names that had pretty big runs Amazons, Netflix whatever the case may be, big big call buying coming in middle of the day, sweeps sweeps sweeps and I started noticing that well stocks stop going higher they just didn't get that big umph matter of fact also if you guys remember I usually don't trade a lot in the afternoons but there were two really aggressive pivots on Thursday both Tesla and Netflix but the one thing that if you remember what happened on Netflix for the whole day right if you guys remember the stock just couldn't rally the market was up like 200 points it just couldn't rally and it finally woke up towards the end of the day did they finally clean up a sweep did they finally clean up a seller again we don't know but all I kept on seeing that again aggressive option flow coming in again I started using these sweeps um you know to gauge how strong a pivots going to be if it confirms it's been working pretty well but the one thing I kept on noticing was well the stocks are not really rallying okay and not only are they not rallying for in the money sweeps they stopped rallying out of the money sweeps so for example I saw a sweep on multiple sweeps on Tesla for example on Thursday this is right after another after another after another they kept them coming in with size $500,000, $700,000 $300,000, $200,000 one after another on the April 300 calls and you would assume with that aggressive buying with this quote unquote type of environment it would take the stock up and really really exploded the stock went up like about about a dollar in change and then sold off three the next day which was Friday we started seeing a little bit of a weaker open okay and the value we saw a lot of value this week on balance plays I started playing these balance plays a lot more you know the video uh Tesla Netflix stuff like that and Friday was like the clue of all clues if you guys remember we didn't open down six 700 points okay we opened down very very modest and the the core theory on any bull market or any bullish sentiment is when the market opens up down opens down in a bull market or a bull sentiment and stocks come into the 60 minute channel usually spring right back okay it's it's the rule it's like you know it's the rule any gap down is the value is always to the upside in the bear market any gap up the value is always you know always to the downside as well so we started seeing call sweeps again we saw the 400 calls being swept up on Netflix we saw the 420s being swept up on Netflix and all Netflix wanted to do was just go down and the moral of the story is you know nobody could have forecasted a rabid reversal rug pull on a Friday okay I'm always on alert and I always talk talk about this in a morning strategy especially when you have a really really aggressive linear market at any point they could always pull the market but nobody really expected it on Friday right nobody there was nothing outrageous there was no materialistic catalyst for it and what happened what we saw was in plain English stocks just stopped going up and every single time there was a call sweep it went lower another call sweep went lower until the buyers just stopped okay and you saw this really really aggressive pull in a lot of these beta names and you see for example a five minute viewing that guy usually do on the 60 but you can see how aggressive throughout the morning this pull was on Netflix how strong this pull was on Amazon they just weren't going up at all ironically the one stock that was holding up was actually Tesla for the majority of the day after the initial gap down but you started seeing there was something different right something different in the air and the bids just weren't there rallies were very very small and the moral of the story is it was a buyer strike now again before everybody jumps out out of the window and says well this is just one day it's not a big deal maybe you're right maybe you're not but there is one thing that I noticed for a lot of these names going into this week okay let's look at the macro picture first okay so here are the cues if anybody's ever watched anything we ever did in the live webinar or watched the ps60 workshop which by the way guys you can watch the first hour of the ps60 workshop to see if pivots are right for you click the link in the description or have a tweet that's pinned on my twitter account you can get free access to a one hour one hour workshop just to see if pivots are right for you but that's not here nor there but anything you know if you've ever watched it we always talk about how stocks trade from supply to supply and demand that's the natural course of these stocks and the one thing I noticed somewhere you know somewhere in the afternoon was every single stock tested their five day moving average okay I even tweeted about that and the moral of the story is the five minute the five day moving average is not a really big not a really big crowd loved you know embraced study okay what's the five day moving average shortest area of you can possibly study but the one thing for me I've always really admired about the five day it really reflects the really short term sentiment and if you're a day trader okay or you know two three days swing trader whatever the case may be a future trader you have to know which way the wind is blowing so the five day for me represents short term sentiment and once we started seeing the test for example on Amazon in the five day balance Netflix balance Alibaba balance Apple balance the question was well now Monday is going to be very very important because if they confirm you know we could go lower the problem was the stock market didn't wait for Monday okay and if you notice all these charts and again guys I've always said this that technical analysis is the purest form of a guy okay there is no room for interpretation if you've been watching these videos for a very long time you kind of know that there it's not a it's it's not a gray area it's either going to happen or it's not and if you notice what happened on a lot of these charts and you kind of see where things are going to play out I'll show you the 60 minute charts in a second if you notice the queues closed underneath the five day moving average Amazon closed underneath the five day moving average Netflix closed not only underneath the five underneath the 10 but it tested the 20 day right you have a theme here going on here Alibaba as well right broke below everything 10 the 20 the only reason it held up was this Bollinger van right here you look at Google right Google below the five day moving average and if you go through all the NASDAQ 100 charts you'll see exactly the same thing and you know again before we put the cart in front of the horse and turn around say well this is the reversal anybody buying up here is and anybody's buying any type of dips on Monday is an idiot we can't put the cart in front of the horse the days of guessing predicting right they're gonna cost you a lot of money okay I'm not that smart nobody's that smart okay we could have an opinion okay which I obviously have an opinion I'll share with you in a second but I'm not that smart to turn around and say well Friday was the blow off top of all tops the market's going to go lower you know the stock up on guns ammo bread water you know we're going into Armageddon it's nothing like that okay all it is from phase value is something for all of our antennas whether you're a trader a day trader swing trader futures trader investor you just have to have the antennas up that we at least for at least the close from Friday session pierced a technical a very very small but very important at least to me technical damage area of the market that it could potentially lead to something more okay that's it nobody's saying we're gonna go down 6000 points in the next 24 hours all we're saying is if the price action confirms right if the price action confirms from Friday we're gonna have a problem and again this is not an opinion this is called technical analysis confirmation so very very you know you really need to you really need to kind of listen to what I'm saying especially if you're a new trader because again the theory of buy the dip only works in a very rabid bull market if you guys notice on Friday there were no there were no buyers okay there were absolutely no buyers Amazon doesn't just go in a linear line and run back $34 linear line run back $34 there's no buyers and I said this all the time be careful what you ask for because this is the only business in the world when things are on sale people don't want to buy you gotta really think about that and really take that into consideration if you're looking to buy the dips on on Monday now here's the good news right here's the good news and here's where Monday at least for the moment at least for the first couple of candles we can see a little bit stability in selling if you guys notice the queues are very very close to the 10 day moving average again stocks go from demand demand demand demand demand demand and so forth and so on so we're like 50 cents away okay we're like 50 cents away from the 10 day moving average the only any close okay and this is a very very important level any close below 178 on the queues we're going down to 175 okay again there is no room for interpretation you can turn around say I'm rolling this that thing that's fine you don't you again remember I'm the king of the idiots what the hell do I know but any close below the 10 day moving average we're going to have a problem now if we gap down okay if we gap down below that 10 day moving average it's very very important that bulls within the first hour within the first two candles maximum reclaim this 10 day because if not you can see where the next measure potential is on and on and on so you have to really really whatever type of trader you are you really have to embrace what I'm saying here because again technical analysis is a very very clear guide okay whether you choose to appreciate it or choose to ignore it it's going to it's going to really echo right and really establish your your P and L okay because if you read the market wrong the market's not going to give you a mulligan right you're not going to get a second chance to kind of rewrite history you're either going to be right or really really wrong and if you notice how all the 60 minute channels are setting up and again if you're watching this for the first time I trade 60 minute channels they're all 60 minute channels I use the 5 minute to kind of gauge my entry sometimes if there's additional supply but the clearest view for me is the 60 minute channel and if you look at every single 60 minute channel you got Tesla very very tight you got Amazon very very tight you got NVIDIA very very tight you got Alibaba very very tight you got Netflix very very tight again go through all the 100 stocks in the Nasdaq 100 and you're going to see pretty much the same thing over and over again which basically tells you is if we start confirming Friday's price action we're going to go lower it's just the reality and if you're option listen I'm telling you this I trade equity but I'm pretty damn good at measured potential if you look at measured potential if you go on the daily charts I'm not going to go through all of them today but if you go on daily charts for example on Amazon you go on that for example on Netflix and you see where the next demand zones are you can really establish a really good game plan if you are an aggressive options trader again if you believe in this theory that stocks go from supply to supply and demand and demand so here's Amazon's chart so here's Amazon's chart so you know the next demand zone is 1730 so if Amazon gaps up for whatever reason there's a green open and Amazon gaps up into the 70s and goes green to red you know the next potential move is 30 points so if you're an aggressive options trader you say well wait a minute I believe in the theory that stocks go from supply to supply and demand to demand so here's my next demand zone which is 1730 it might not be a bad bet if you're an aggressive options trader to work out some sort of strategy that you are trying to get exposure into a potential measured move into the 1730s again nobody's saying it's going down to 1580 but you never know and if you're an options trader it's a really really good way to get the biggest bang for your buck for a measured potential and it's not going to affect your day to day P&L especially on the first day if you're going deep out of money what a measured potential to follow so it's just something for you guys to think about I thought the week was decent I had one good day a bunch of several I had a bunch of decent days I actually had a day I lost money which I turned several trades it was on Thursday I believe I took several trades from positive trades into negative trades which was again I had a brain for it sometimes like once every month once every month and a half I had a brain for it I had exactly the same brain for it on Thursday I took I was up like a dollar and changed on Netflix somehow I turned into a loss I was up about a dollar on Tesla somehow I turned into a loss it was just like just such a weird weird day for me but again human beings we're going to bleed we're going to laugh we're going to cry we're going to have losing days just part of the cycle Friday bounce back made some money on Friday but overall the week was fine there was nothing I had one really good day everything else was just kind of fine it was I was finding more value in a weird way because the market was so linear I personally was finding a lot more value on the bounce plays off the 60 minute channels which is kind of odd you know which is kind of odd for me because mostly time I will trade the natural pivot but you have to at some point have to start going the defense mode and when you see a market for example when you see Amazon going from you know 16 what was it from 16 from 1674 to 1820 eventually it turns out it's a little a little over extended here I'm not sure if I'm willing to commit a fresh capital up here so I found the bounce plays pretty effective I know a lot of you guys in the live webinar play that as well again I don't I usually don't post the bounce plays in the Twitter feed or the stock twist feed only because I try to keep that into the natural pivot but we do play these plays we do play these things all the time now they're very very good risk reward area because we're literally trying to bounce these trades on the bottom of the channel matter of fact if you go onto my Twitter feed I think it was on Tuesday right there was a bottom bounce on net on Tesla at 264 265 they're right up 10 okay so just to give you an idea how really aggressive these things are so there was a lot of value in the bounce plays and the most important thing going into this week is my opinion is well if we start confirming price action for Friday we're going to go lower so I'm going to give the bulls okay a little bit of a string right a little bit of rope at the start of the Monday's trading session because again at the end of the day you could turn around and say well Friday Friday was just like you know normally it's not a big deal you know if we if we gap down and reverse and reclaim and go back higher and yet absolutely that could definitely be a possibility but again don't be naive to think we can't start confirming Friday's price action and start going lower as well so here was Friday here was Friday's action in the webinar pizza never reclaimed Papa John's never reclaimed I the funny thing is I like this setup in the morning right this is all pre-market I really like that setup in the morning at 3 79 to the upside of Netflix obviously it never it never confirmed so here's where things started really confirming and I guess fully guys on the live webinar in the stock to it sometimes I'm dyslexic this was obviously 368 50 for builds below obviously wasn't 168 somebody emailed me and goes hey Dan I'm still waiting for the 168 build yeah me too so yeah so a Boeing and I know I know a lot of you guys figured it out but so I have to apologize if you ever see me put in a weird number into these feeds just just just double check with me but this obviously was 368 50 if it builds below can flush and you know here is the pivot on Boeing if you look at the 60 minute channel on Boeing here is a 368 50 right over here 368 50 you can see here 368 65 once it built 368 50 even the first candle was good for like four and a half five dollars so that was pretty good the funny thing is it was a Citron hit piece right I put an initial low of 38 dollars and then it spiked back to 38 so what I did was I put it in I put in a sell stop I put in a sell stop so if it got triggered to the way down I would get filled the problem is I totally forgot about it like I literally totally forgot about it I had an order in there and because the stock was so slow it's like I looked down and I was like what the hell is this thing and it started moving down and I was like I don't even want to be in this thing because it's so slow but when I looked I was it was it was in my favor of like 20 cents or so so I just covered it up if you guys got the bigger move good job but this was like this one of the slowest Citron hit pieces so I actually made money on this thing by accident but again sometimes you know you will you know lug does play a part on the video 80 60 for builds below it could flush here was in the video and again for all you guys are trading the option these are really good value bets so here is on the video so here is the 80 60 you know the lowest candle and the rising support once it broke this 80 60 and started to build you can see the move down here Tesla here all this I messed up Tesla I totally forgot about Tesla I personally messed this up so I shorted Tesla okay I shorted Tesla and this is when the market was down at 300 okay so I shorted Tesla 260 8 ish right I think I shorted Tesla 688 ish here is where I shorted I shorted it right here right so yeah here it is so I short Tesla right here and the stock they just they just don't want to crack this thing and the one thing that I do know about Tesla or any of these beta names if you're sitting them long long enough okay and they just can't clean up a cell or clean up a buyer you can get pillars the other way so I was in Tesla for like 15 minutes and this thing is just trading in like a 30 cent range I'm up 20 cents I'm up 30 cents I'm up 40 cents I'm down 10 cents I'm up 30 cents and you can see these buyers just coming in and I'm like okay listen this thing doesn't crack now I'm out of this thing right I'm out of this thing I don't want to hear about it I'm out of this thing safe and sorry and you know it goes down like 40 50 cents and the buyer comes back damn buyer comes back and I was like alright I'm done with this thing I cover it up okay it actually goes back up 70 80 cents the market starts rallying oh I did the right thing I did the right thing there's a buyer in the crowd I don't want to fight with a buyer it's Friday blah blah blah blah I look down and yeah it happens it happens but again we live with our choices good or bad again safe and sorry it's not the money you make it's the money you keep blah blah blah yeah it sucks it happened so that's that if you did make money on this thing good job Facebook never confirmed yeah so Amazon good job for all you guys who are short and a lot of you guys are still short over the weekend we talked about Kane great job Steve P great job I know you guys were short way before anybody else but this is the big number 1776 the future start getting heavier it could dump down and see 1760 again this is just you know technical analysis and for all you guys who are trading again on on the option side look at the load of the day right guys it traded right to 1760 so again technical analysis works you just don't take these prices out of the air again stocks trade from you know demand demand demand demand demand on and on on and on so for all you guys who did well on Friday great job if you if you haven't had a rough week it only gets better if you had a great week quickly forget about it the most important part is in the one thing that I always say to every single trader and I tweeted this out on Saturday okay you're not cursed you're not dumb okay you don't have a dark cloud in front of you okay above you you are going through this is obviously to to newer traders you are going through the same thing that every single trader has gone through before you okay these are stages in your trading career that you are going to have sleepless nights you have self doubts you want to quit trading 75 times a day and you know what guys this is totally normal and the one thing that I will tell you is if you want to be a professional trader you have to embrace this okay you have to embrace these facts you have to accept it and you have to move forward because again there's no difference between me there's no difference between you and there's no difference between Peter Lynch and there's no difference between you know David Einhorn everybody is in the same arena your account might be different your risk tolerance might be different but you're all looking at the same thing and if you want to do this for the rest of your life your career you really have to appreciate the struggle before you can really appreciate the success and it will come have faith it will come so going into this week guys I want to give the bulls a very very small rope benefit of the doubt the first hour of the day but if we

On one hand we're a farming company, on the other hand we're a technology company. We grow a plant typically from seed to harvest in about 15 days versus what's 30 to 45 days in a greenhouse or in a field. The benefit of vertical farming is our productivity is extremely high in a small footprint. We have all these macro trends that should be a wake-up call that we need a new paradigm of how we're going to feed our planet. Our growth media is a cloth that's made out of recycled bottles and it's 100% reusable. From a design standpoint we have these circular economy principles ultimately to do more with less to eliminate waste and that impacts how we grow. The whole history of agriculture has been all about changing the plants in small incremental ways to make them more amenable to human production systems. This is really the latest iteration of that, of bringing plants indoors into a new production system. One of the most exciting opportunities about changing the environment is improving nutrition. We know we can really improve that with different environmental conditions then we can have a product that's more nutritious that can bring a better value to people in their diets as well as really improving human health. These farms are set up to be able to supply to local areas particularly in urban environments where you have dense populations and where you really benefit from pain points in the supply chain. Really bringing that supply chain to the city and bringing the best quality produce in a food safe way at the same time eliminating or reducing substantially the amount of carbon footprint that we have. I think one of the most interesting and pressing issues in the food supply chain is all about getting fresh produce that people want to eat. Being that plant experiences we can manage in a really controlled way and we can have just tremendous control over the quality that tastes the flavor. I think Aero Farms is illustrative of how innovation can come meet some challenges in an industry and define better ways to provide at the end of the day food for people so everyone has access in our case to fresh food 365 days a year. That's safe and tastes wonderful.


Ukraine will attack the Russian army and infrastructure with 2 million drones. Ukraine is set to produce 2 million drones this year. Hannah Vodzaya, Deputy Minister of Strategic Industries of Ukraine said this. At the same time, she acknowledged that the current needs of Ukrainian troops far surpassed the country's financial capabilities even with the assistance of partners. Even with our partners, it would be difficult for us. However, we are working in this direction. Vodzaya stated, we are ramping up drone production, she added. Vodzaya addressed doubts raised among Ukrainians by President Zelensky's statement about producing a million drones, clarifying that in terms of production, we are far beyond a million. I am confident that this year we will reach the mark of 2 million. Vodzaya emphasized, highlighting the capability of Ukrainian drone manufacturers. The Deputy Minister mentioned they can already produce up to 150,000 units monthly. The drone sector in Ukraine involves around 200 domestic companies, with nearly 60 of them already included in state orders. In an interview with the Independent, Oleksandr Kamyshin, the Minister of Strategic Industries, emphasized Ukraine's urgent need for ammunition due to the ongoing war with Russia. He noted that Ukraine requires an amount of ammunition that no single country can deliver, including the United States. Kamyshin also highlighted that the capabilities of Ukraine's defense industry far exceed the funding currently available for its support. Ukraine is positioning itself as a global pioneer in unmanned technologies, according to Kamyshin, with UAVs becoming a crucial weapon on modern battlefields. He expressed confidence that this year Ukraine will produce over a million FPV drones and thousands capable of flying more than 1,000 kilometers, reaching oil refineries in Russia. In a meeting with Ukrainian and international journalists at the end of 2023, President Zelensky stated, we will produce 1 million drones next year. We will make a million. We will do everything to make it happen. Protection against threats from Russia First NATO base opened in Albania Albania has opened the first NATO base. The air base located 80 kilometers south of the capital Tirana is designed to protect the western Balkans region from the threats posed by Russia informs NATO. This is another element of security from our region of the western Balkans, which we know, well, may be endangered from the neo-imperialist threats and ambitions of the Russian Federation, stated the Prime Minister of Albania, Eddie Rama. He also announced that initially the air base would house two Black Hawk helicopters and three Bayraktar strike drones. The opening ceremony was attended by the President of Albania, Bajram Begaj, Prime Minister Eddie Rama, as well as military leadership from Albania and NATO. It is reported that around 50 million euros have been allocated for the modernization of the Soviet era base. The reconstruction of the facility began in 2019, during which time the runways, control tower, hangars and warehouses were renovated. According to NATO Acting Spokesperson Dylan White, the air base will serve as a crucial NATO hub, strengthening the alliance's presence in the western Balkans. In the first half of 2024, NATO is conducting a series of exercises under the overall codename Steadfast Defender 24. Poland is one of the participating countries and will host a significant number of soldiers and equipment from allies on its territory. As part of Steadfast Defender 24, Poland will also conduct national exercises called Dragon 24 involving the armed forces of other countries. Additionally on March 4, large-scale military exercises called Nordic Response 24 began in northern Finland, Sweden and Norway. These exercises, led by Norway, will continue until March 15. Approximately 20,000 military personnel from 14 countries along with over 50 ships, including frigates and submarines, and more than 100 aircraft including destroyers, helicopters and other aircraft will participate. Furthermore, in the Mediterranean Sea off the coast of Sicily, maritime exercises named Dynamic Manta began on the morning of February 26. These NATO exercises serve as a platform to test and enhance the alliance's crisis response capabilities.
