And welcome all to another exciting addition to the power trading hour with me or I'd like to come to you at this time. We do. Not working. Yeah. I have to figure out why I am unsure. What else do we have going on today? Well, of course, the rally continues on a baited I thought maybe we get a little bit of pullback before we push back higher 2877 and a half on the SMB cash that's up 20 or 30 34. Points on the S&P dows up to 91 as that one 33 the wrestles up almost 14 13 76. Of course, one of the big movers out here today in the movers and shakers is the dollar Mr. Dollar is down about almost 51 cents 96 and 48 8 is the last take I show and of course, pretty much came off of the around 70 excuse me 97 05 with the jobs numbers at 830 so seeing a little bit of that and of course market feeling pretty good that that heroin of low interest rates is not going away that IV drip that just keeps going but you never know so we'll keep an eye on it but I see launch this again and see if it doesn't work here or if it's not working for another reason and then we'll get to it here but we shall see the following takes place between 2pm and 3pm and we got it working now so you never know anyway, we'll talk about that we'll be with Tom O'Brien at 330 for the tech insider half hour to wrap up the week other than that been a pretty good day, I took some cash off the table today in one of our trades maybe we'll get to talking about that it's just one of those so when you cannot when you have two things and you know you get a little bit there is a little bit of the three bears you get the one that's just too cool the porch just right and then the porch that's way too hot and you get way too hot the old saying is the light bulb that burns twice as bright only burns half as long certainly a nice move off the lows so we took some cash for the tech insider folks we made kind of an ETF out of a sector and last I looked at it was up around on the three stocks that we had about 10% on the day so a good day there and getting confirmation in one of the other long term trades today closing back above a significant level so we bought the dips and at least in the daytime we're selling the rips and the long term looks so good you got to wear shades I love that song give me a call today at<PHONE_NUMBER> you can email me at path at tfnn.com and of course you can always put a message in the den but been a good day, been a good week and as long as you're on the right side of a trade here it's always been a good week but why don't we start a little history and then we will move on little doggies history repeating on this day in 1962 the banking institution Credit Suisse known as something that I can't pronounce opens up the first drive-thru bank in Switzerland at St. Peter's Trasse 17 near something Paradise Parade Square in downtown Zurich I've been there I just never spent a lot of time learning the language if you go to Switzerland one of the things that you'll realize is it is a tri-country they speak French down by France they speak German over by Germany they speak English and Italian over by Italy so it's one of those things where depending on where you are at you think well they speak the language of Switzerland well it's a mish-mash and it depends on where you are they used to have or probably still do have a convention for a video production in Montrose Switzerland and of course you always heard about everybody going there that was in the rich and the famous and the jet setters to be going there in the mid-90s you know James Bond kind of stuff going on in Switzerland was kind of interesting no air conditioning there by the way and hotter than 80s mid-summer also you can't get hotel rooms and I was stuck with a guy that literally sounded like a chainsaw going off all night so I couldn't sleep so I made sure he didn't sleep by the end of the week we both wanted to choke each other to bring a room with somebody but just make sure it's not what chainsaw here because I didn't sleep for four or five days the only good thing that came out of it that week was that when I went to catch my plane back which was Swiss air by the way they left two hours early what plane leaves two hours early apparently they do there when they feel I don't know what why so I called up and made a tersely email voicemail to the folks and by the time I got to England or the UK the only plane they had back was a seat for actually for the next day and a half was a seat on the Concorde and they rigged it that was the second ride on the Concorde I got yep you think about taking Latin and it never helps you when you go to Latin America and I never understood that part either anyway as we start off the show here as I said volume wasn't very good yesterday it ended up being a little bit better down again today 3.9 billion shares as we start the show on the CBOE consolidated tape so we're probably going to get some kind of pullback in this market I would imagine maybe on Monday I did do the options curves and start doing it and of course they really start to show you something about the 12th so we're about three days away from going delta neutral for those guys and maybe it'll tell us a little bit more but I think as we've said before it's kind of telling to find out what the option market makers think about the market and we'll talk about that when we come back from the break but make sure and give me call<PHONE_NUMBER> the

TFNN.com educating investors call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> and as we said earlier we'll look at the volumes here on the NASDAQ then we got a couple emails coming in that we want to answer too but as you can see since we got to the low almost 2.58 billion shares for the NASDAQ on June 3 we've gone up for a handful of days volume really hasn't increased you generally want to give about three days but what we're in now is the Great Wall of China where all these gaps which are there actually four of them are right at the level that we're at so you probably ought to think that maximum dynamic pressure for upward pricing probably is about exactly where we're at right now kind of end it just a little bit 7767 earlier in the day and we're just a little off that but if you're watching here in fact I'll zoom in a little bit better you can see all these gaps shown in the Art of Timing straight charts pretty clearly and that's exactly what we're going back into right now another one out here is BYND BYND from Lonnie and the question is what are we going to do with BYND well I wouldn't do anything beyond me ridiculous sessions aside I tell you what you want to do is because I want to talk about Tom O'Brien today with in fact I'm probably going to lead off with it I've been writing about it in the Tech Insider for a few weeks but there's something out there called the hype cycle and maybe that's a great thing to talk about today in the BYND but we'll get into it with Tom in fact I'll change that to the first thing we talk about at 330 but these IPO cycles are not uncommon and in fact one of the recent big runners that we had well big winners we had last year we had to get out of and that was because the hype actually got just too much for it and generally you know that they're way overpriced and what you have to do is wait for them to come back for you a lot of times it may take a year that took us a long time to get back into the ones that made us a ton of money in the Tech Insider actually they were close to 100 100% winner in what 4 or 5 months or something so there are some of these stocks out there but when they have big runs like that slow and steady kind of wins the race if you get a huge amount of money in something like this Beyond Meat thing we'll go through that hype cycle because I think it's a definitely a teachable moment and we'll bring it up in connection with Beyond Meat doesn't mean that the stock is going lower immediately but it tells you historically what is more than likely and we'll do that at 330 with Tom O'Brien what else do we have out here Bonds okay so I watched all that D-Day footage last night quite amazing see what else we have here um rig count down 9 not surprisingly we're starting to see that that's in the United States Canada though was plus 18 for the Baker Hughes numbers so we continue to see Canada going after the rig count much harder than the US I think some of these things were down for hurricane preparedness for the US but every time the price comes down a lot of those offshore rigs don't become economic anymore and they're pulled back in the last couple of weeks of downside pressure on oil has certainly brought that rig count down we're still at 975 here in the United States but Canada plus 18 gives you a little bit of an idea what's going on uh okay what else do we have going on here today okay I'm washing my clothes just making sure we have all these I had a question come in earlier I said I'd answer it on the air and that was Tesla um we had somebody call it was a Tuesday if you'd hold your options into Wednesday or into Friday and I said yesterday I probably would have sold sold them yesterday got basically a repeat action of exactly what you had yesterday but that 210 area is exactly where this gap down happened and you had a lot of volume well yeah I actually had multiple gap downs um now going forward there's still enough short interest to get this thing back up to 240 but my guess is it's going to have to consolidate out for a while to the sideways but congratulations on buying the calls on that I think he bought them when it was around 190 bought the 200s and it went to 210 a good trade but yeah lots of short sellers in that to do what else do we want to take a look at so far certainly in volume the NYSE has looked better than the NASDAQ but on the same point there as we're getting back into previous highs we're going to be a little bit light you wanted about 3.6 billion shares as we got to this level to go back to the volume of May 10th we got about 2.7 billion now so maybe you get 3.1 maybe 3.2 on a Friday but that's still kind of stretching it I don't think that we're going to bounce for a few days we've got some sideways action and in probably into that options exploration on Wednesday in fact we're going to bring that up and I didn't because somewhere along the line I lost my icon and now I've got to sneeze so hang on a minute I better turn my microphone back on now to do what else do we have to do what verses been debug I gotta find my there we go we'll bring this up here do I have time I got about a minute and a half I think maybe I do this thing will actually come back pop back up there it is and get rid of those for a second wanted to get to what option market makers were actually saying and hopefully we got it here again so far they are staying way out of what's happening so they don't have an abiding belief of what's going to happen at least in the spies and that's been pretty accurate last three months but unless this thing really gets above three the spies get above 300 or they go below about 235 this thing's pretty flat about 25 million dollars difference from when and lose for those option market makers but generally you know this thing's kind of a nice little V every month or maybe three out of the four months gives you good idea that people aren't expecting a wide range but anything from heaven to hell but not that much more heaven and always worried about the giant blowout to the downside there just isn't that much money for option market makers lose I think those south we'll be back in a the path of least resistance is David White's daily trading newsletter and if you're looking for active trading ideas then now's a perfect time for a

click the Think or Swim banner on the front page of TFNN.com and we're back I got a question about what I sold and it was the IYT which is the transports we bought it at like $176 and change if I remember right got out today put the order out when it was around $184 and one of the things that pay with $500,000 shares we got about $158,000 now it doesn't mean that it can't get up to $187,000, $188,000 or something but my guess is that is so when you can not when you have to so if this thing brought pulled back about $180,000 which I think it can then maybe I get an opportunity to buy it again but you make a lot of money real quick and a lot of the stuff that we're playing with you want to take some money you don't make any money until you take that money it's all an example we had some more emails here a little yesterday and today and I wanted to talk about this I didn't get it yesterday but I want to I'll go ahead and do it now because we've got some time but I'll get it up here we were talking about how I'm starting to think a little differently about making long-term predictions in the stock market yesterday we talked about what I learned from the godfather of machine learning or artificial intelligence I call it machine learning he does too I think it's a much better description of it but you want to kind of trade like you're driving in fog and that is you don't want to get too too into the idea that you can drive off the other person's tail lights in front of you that's how you get the highlights out on the highway and so you just kind of know that maybe somebody's up there but you don't need to be closing in on them you need to make reasonable I calls but there's a great part in a speech at MIT that the author of Jurassic Park and so many other great novels and he's a producer a real renaissance man Michael Crichton but in I think it was 2003 he gave the speech at MIT and it was a lot about what people thought about global warming but making predictions and this was probably the best way and he's a great author and I'm not so I want to just this little part about what you know and what you think you don't know but then you put this remember people in 1900 didn't know what an atom was they didn't know what its structure was they also didn't know what a radio was an airport or a movie or a television or a computer or a cell phone or a jet an antibiotic a rocket a scientist a satellite an MRI an ICU and IUD what IBM was an IRA an ERA an EEG an EPA an IRS a DOD a PCP an HTML or internet or interferon instant replay remote sensing remote controls speed dialing gene therapy gene splicing genes at all spot welding heat seeking bipolar prozac leotards lap dancing emails tape recorders CDs airbags plastic explosive plastic in general robots cars liposuction induction super conduction disk antennas stepper obics smoothies 12 steps programs ultrasound nylon raylon teflon fiber optics carpal tunnel syndrome laser surgery corneal transfer transplants kidney transplants aids none of this would have meant a one thing to a person in the 1900s and I'll finish this thought up with a quote about predicting the future the greatest obstacle to discovery is not ignorance it's the illusion of knowledge we should know that there are stuff that we do not know unfortunately I think far too many long term predictions fail because they do assume that everything is going to stay the way it is and if there's anything that we know is that discoveries new new ideas tend to breed and they tend to breed bigger and faster as time goes along progress is not slowing it tends to be just running along at a break net pace that will not stop so I think I can look a couple of years ahead I don't think I can look five or ten years ahead maybe five if I'm lucky but you know what you just kind of sit down that path go down there as long as you can in the markets and you move ahead quick question about Microsoft I haven't looked at it today getting back up to this level but again not a lot of juice you need 38 million shares today you're in it with about 24 million shares so far today take a quick peek at Amazon it's back up into this gap that had some decent volume you're doing a little bit better than one would think 1805 78 for the high in Amazon today in FLX nice little pop and you're just back in Netflix into this big candle I said converted hammer hammer time back from the 22nd of May that had 6.3 million shares today you got 3.4 million shares so far you know what you have a huge run you've had it in a matter of a few days and now you're tipping off back into previous size on very light volume and that's where you start kind of hanging out over the edge of the building always makes me a little nervous but what I say sell when you cannot when you have to is I can buy fairly well at the lows and know that I've got fairly good risk reward at the highs it's hard to tell because everybody's playing a game of chicken and thinking that yeah I can buy it and sell it for just another dollar higher and there's always a bigger fool as we have found out at the beginning of May that didn't always the way it works out I've got more emails here what do I think of IBM's laying off 2,000 people well they've been laying off people for the last 5 10 years haven't they again I don't think you got your bounce off the low but long term I think there are a lot better plays out here their ability to make money in quantum computing is basically what they're betting the company on and you know it's tough when you're in this kind of business and a legacy provider like international business machine to bet your future on a single outcome they've done it if there's a company that can do it it's IBM they've done it 4 times before over the last 100 years but again eventually one of those days your luck runs out they tried to get into machine learning and a lot of people cut them off at the pass and now it's down to quantum computing and high speed computing and I don't know if they can make it either too much of a gamble for me I wouldn't short them but I wouldn't be long either we'll be back in a minute the investment is anywhere from 30,000 to 75,000 the interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis according to bankrate.com the best rate for a four-year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1% a $50,000 investment at a normal four-year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year or $6,200 over the four-year period that same $50,000 investment would give you $3,500 per year or $14,000 over the four years what should you prefer $6,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment if you'd like more information about the target first mortgage

forget you can listen to TFNN live on your mobile device 24 hours per day go to TFNN.com and hit watch Tiger TV that's TFNN.com and hit watch Tiger TV and we're back just keeping a close eye here on the volume see if it picks up at all we got 4. and a little about 4.2 billion shares and that's with about an hour and 20 minutes left in the trading day of course you get a little of that back ended but I'm going to say 6.3 billion shares which is going to be fairly significant in giving a signal I suspect that I will have a bunch of stocks that I have tested previous size on light volume or gaps we'll go through those on Monday but again you've got kind of a bullish bias going into options expiration that starts on Wednesday so if you're thinking about probably pulling the ripcord and going short I think you're probably looking after the 21st but we'll know a lot more about how the options close in the next couple of days for what I'm doing I'm kind of pulling back on the stocks that I made some big money on or made good money on let me put it that way and we'll look for any of these stocks that pull back with light volume and get ready to start ABC's on the way back up as the last couple of weeks I've said I've been rather at least sanguine on the downside and if not outright bullish optimistic on the markets and on the economy as a whole we've kind of pulled back a little bit on the jobs numbers but again this is exactly where if you're the president of the United States you have some ability to manipulate the markets what you want to do is get all the excess out before the last year into the voting booth and so or what about what 16 months out 16 months is that right let's say 14 months 15 months you want to get everything rung out of the market you want to get the people that shouldn't be in certain places with their cash out of it and into places that actually are going to make money and move the market higher and everything else one of the other things that's been on my mind for a while we've talked about it a little bit about the idea of sector rotation and again you've had some very long runs in Microsoft and Amazon and the rest of these most of them or at least some of them are going to go up against federal trade issues in the coming months and I just remembered that I want to say it's June 4th of 2001 maybe it was July 4th in 2001 when Microsoft had its antitrust regulation come out and the thing for a big cap you just don't expect big caps to drop 30 or 25% in a day on what they're doing now of course within about a year that it all been moved aside but at the same time as a trader if you're getting into a stock the market's already looking rather south are you want to hold on to it for the next 10 years until you show a profit and that is where the tough part is I suspect that not only Amazon but Facebook and the rest it's one of those things where you say news doesn't really matter until it matters I think we're getting fairly close to the point where it truly matters for companies like Facebook the articles are fairly damning and a lot of these cases have been kind of settled at least what branch of the government is going to go after these guys in Facebook's case it's Federal Trade Commission and that's just kind of like an onion these guys pretty much lied to Congress so there's not once they get past some of the horrific things they did with your personal data and lied to you about it it's going to be them lying to Congress and everything else question is just how far is that going to go the issue with Microsoft was pretty straightforward where they destroying the market by putting their own browser in it that was pretty simple straightforward this is almost pervasive like a Reco case and how many different ways that you'll be able to go after it let's see what the Mao Zuckerberg stock is doing today I forgot to do that it's up a little bit but of course it came off the 198 down to 16084 I got some emails asking me to think about this for a while and if there's a stock that looks fairly horrible out here on the bounce it's certainly Facebook you had this huge down day with 56 million shares you're up on 12 million shares back into that the high on that Mike in Toronto how you doing Mike are you there? Do you hear me? I want to look at Samofo the gold stock in Africa S-E-M-F-F okay I don't have I don't have access to that right now what's your question on it? Just a technical chart seems to be breaking out just thought you might know something about it No but I wouldn't be long any South African gold stocks South Africa it's Central Africa the second one is Sanstorm Gold ticker symbol S-A-N-D 2-2-K What do you think about it? Back up to resistance you needed about 2 million shares you got a little over 2 million shares got 1.9 so it's not bad are you long this already? I'm watching it Well you probably would like to if you wanted to get long this thing about $5.35 we want to see this big candle from the 31st you want to see it go in there and give try support have no volume and close back higher but if I was watching this $5.35 would be the place where there would be some decent risk reward I don't know a lot about the gold stocks I wanted to go back to that a second at least in my opinion in South Africa they're killing farmers right now white farmers to take their money it's not going to be any different than all the other countries out there that have decided to go that way in Africa I would just be very careful about having anything in South Africa and that's in South Africa but that's from could you go back to all the way back to 2012 in that chart? what do you think do you think it's got a low volume high from 2012 I mean realistically what pivot point would you look at for a confirmed breakout? well you need to see the gold market itself kind of breakout here and you're still in a bigger trading range so that would be the first thing until you see a real break above it let's get the current pricing out here on gold up $5.80 $13.4850 you're kind of close but you want to see a sign of strength as it breaks above this level that probably would get you $7.69 on sans form gold if you get it if you get gold moving $7.69 okay thank you we'll be back in a minute wrap this up I'm certain you are or strive to be one of the best of the best when it comes to managing your money let me teach you to do what most wealth managers tell you can't be done which is how to time the markets I'm Steve Rhodes author of Mastering Probability and for the last 12 months Timer Digest has been tracking my newsletter signals which have earned me the ranking as their number one market timer in the nation for the S&P 500 for the last 12, 6 and 3 months Timer Digest also ranks me as the number one market timer for gold as well the fact is markets can be timed and I'll teach you the exact set of tools that I use that has transformed me into one of the best at what I do sign up for Mastering Probability today by clicking on the newsletter tab on the homepage of TFNN.com and get immediate access to workshops where I teach you step by step how to use an extraordinary set of tools as well as provide great market calls too sign up today David White's newsletter The Technology Insider is focused like a laser on finding the next big things in technology if you had invested only $10,000 in Microsoft in 1986 you'd have been a millionaire by 2000 Disruptive technology like Microsoft is the key to these massive long-term profits and the Tech Insider is the vehicle from TFNN to capitalize on these opportunities This is the go-to newsletter that identifies monitors and profits from unknown cutting-edge companies with great long-term prospects David's experience is as an inventor of Emmy-winning animation products for TV and Hollywood that propelled a company public Match that with 14 years as a full-time trader and he's uniquely qualified to guide you through the light-speed world of ever-evolving high tech If you're ready to ride the next big technology bull market for less than $40 per month, log on to TFNN.com and get your two-week free trial to the Technology Insider and get in on the ground floor of the next big thing today Basil Chapman has a special subscriber webinar coming up Wednesday June 12th at 5pm called The Tide In this webinar, Basil will be demonstrating techniques that can help one identify whether the tide is coming in or going out.

It's kind of a nice month and you do have a lot of time. So I'm going to say you want to keep a kind of close eye on this. Market makers are expecting maybe a little bit higher and probably you know a 50% or 70% chance of a little bit higher, but very worried about taking any kind of risk to the downside. In the den we have a question about what do I make of Federal Express and UPS and some of these other transport companies. And I'm going to say that for the greatest extent this downside is a couple things. One and probably the major one, Amazon getting into the business. These guys were making huge amounts of cash transporting Amazon stuff around and now Amazon is doing it directly. Now the good news if you want to be patient with these companies and that is wait for these things to come around that antitrust is probably going to get rid of the vertical company and their ability to transport and deliver their own goods. That's probably the easiest thing for the government to go in and shut down for Amazon. But in the meantime, next probably a couple of years, it's going to be tough. FedEx is having to go to 7 days so as UPS in delivery, these are unionized companies and it's very expensive for them.  I don't see a real bright star in the horizon for any of these distribution companies up against Amazon until they get their hands slapped by the government. I'll catch me at 3.30 with Tom O'Brien so when you can, not when you have to. See you Monday, same bad channel, same bad.


Big Sur Holy Weed has a lot of, there's a lot of legends behind it. It was supposedly grown by monks in central California. I will say that my buddy who gave me both the super skunk and the chem, it was his favorite weed that he could get on Dead Door.  Oh, interesting. And both were sold on Dead Door.  You could have somebody walk by and not only could you tell that they had good weed, you could tell that they had the Big Sur Holy. Yeah.


Hey everyone, welcome to Higan Iruthil here is my first impressions of the closed beta test that I am joining in As of the moment, I've been playing for six days and to tell you frankly I think this game has ton of potential I'm gonna give you guys a explanation why I think of that first and foremost will be starting off with the UI So the UI for this game My initial impressions is very clean Very very straightforward clean as in all the details are on the side I hate it when they clutter the middle with all of the details of the UI the main menu This is very clean. I like the presentation with everything. It's good. It's actually here So we'll start off with your account information So we have Iluya here as your assistant. You can change the assistant just by clicking here and Do a change here so you can change to whomever you have already in your roster and Change it to whoever who is your liking? so that is actually just the basic parts of your lobby and you have also a Quest indicator, so this is more or less your more or less your indicator where you should go to next You have the free hand of course of going to the the portion where you're you know You want to go but this is just a guy where and you should go next So you have also here your login rewards the login rewards so far are very good unknown I wouldn't say very good are good at this point So daily login rewards are good. You have a lot at your sixth and seventh day to get so Moving on we also have here Other additional rewards here you can claim click So far the game has a lot of rewards.  This is Where you use or what you use for the content that will be going over in a while And this one is your standard Dubrio Dubrio South so this is actually currency for the store that you may use so Okay, so that is the UI here on the bottom actually you have as well your daily missions a tracker on What you did what you accomplished you can actually click a one-time claim There's actually one visible here once you have a couple of what they call this a couple of Rewards to claim and also here is your achievements. So also Very organized at this point here is going to be your inventory then this is our store and You also have your inbox here We're in like this one. The one touch receive is usually available in Most reward section of the game. So you click on this To get couple of gifts and Away we go. So this is your In-game mail you have friends here to add as well Then of course you have the settings down below.  Anyway, um, let's go over the content So let's start off with outline for outline. You have your basic content here Dreamback is your farming stages for these characters here Then your art task is simply farming as well for these currency These are mainly used in leveling up your your characters then your hero journey here is This is also Farming of materials used for leveling up your weapon. It's nice because you can level up your weapons here with the default I'm not sure if there is a different Aesthetic to the weapon that they have your deep maze is your This is your tower system. Do they have a few one two three four that you can go through? So I haven't gone through the deep maze that deep Sorry for the pun But again, I'll try to do this once I go further the next few days. I've been busy so far So this is your tower system. They have a lot There's a lot of content guys to be honest with you in this game So this is just for the outline. We go to this one This is your Mesmerizing labyrinth or your labyrinth Let's just go through this so that I could give you guys a better explanation of what it is So again, this is actually my my problem with the game It loads there are certain portions of the game which loads up pretty much slower than usual So this one the labyrinth is Kind of like your tower system, but you are free to choose whether Want to go through here you have three areas here where you can choose Then once you choose an area, then you can battle that area. So this is a nice content for me this is something that Is is interesting because you cannot see what is beyond this Just have to battle what is in front of you before you see the end floor for this stage So again, this is very very good. Let's just leave this for now and let's proceed to the other contents of the game so the vessel here is If I may compare this this is similar to To the Colossus in how can we stars? It's but this is your base. This is the structure of the base It's it's just it's just kind of similar to me world tour is basically your dispatch system So you dispatch Your characters here to you know to farm for materials your prop room here is a Basically Let's just see what it is. So this is a crafting portion or props So craft workshop is here. You have your sailings yet, which is interesting because I Think they get to perform here This is kind of awesome So something unique in this what they call this in this game Which I really like this is actually Nice to have as a you know, you know side content for you to do if you don't have anything else to do Rehearsal room is locked at this point. Then you have the photo room. Your photo room is Is just showcasing the figures or sorry the the characters that you have talking about figures so characters that you have taking, you know screenshots or Wallpaper of them. So that's the photo studio and As you can see again, it loads kind of slower sometimes not sure yet if That is What they call this within the game or within my device but I think it's within the game and the director's office in the control room control room is Crystal workshop and The last one is the director's office, which will be This is just a master room I think For all for what you have here So you can check the the progress here and it's at level one at this point okay, so Let's move out of the vessel. So the vessel is kind of your base I think slash ship not sure but if you go to the summoning part again the interface I like the interface very simple. You won't really have a Problem, you know Going through the content. So this are your Your Summons here. So hero wish and you also have these are These are part of your equipment system. So these are your characters You're someone for characters and at this portion. These are for your equipment system that they're named after Characters as well, but they play the function is like an equipment. So let's do a wish here These are daily wishes that you get so if you can you can skip this but once you click the animation looks nice I'm also interesting the cube Not cube. It's kind of a Artifact so we have purple. So again as you can see here, this is kind of your four star four star equipment Shelton interlude We'll go to equipment in a while after this one. So we've had our one pull there. Then let's go here Let's get one pulls here. So another wish this one is going to be your characters So again, just select one rune and it will open one pull for you So again generating content Okay, so screamer interesting name actually screamer. So let's skip her. So that is the portion wherein The summons are here There's a small pool at this time for your roster. So let's go to your roster here. So so far Let's do an awaken here Awaken is adding stars to your characters. Okay, let's go back. Let's go to the ones that I'm using Let's awaken screamer here before she screams at me Okay, so okay, so I have this roster So the roster is Going to reflect the characters that you have and the characters that you don't have so at this point the locked ones are the card of the character so that I don't have and The ones that I'm using is Isa Isa is going to be your she's kind of your mage or damage dealer Gildan is going to be your shield or defender Rocco is your healer Queen is going to be your assassin and Searslet is going to be your She's going to be a warrior or a vanguard type attack type on the front Together with Gildan and I have I'm using actually another Healer here with Cecilia, but these five here Up here are the ones that I'm using so far. So you have your garden class So again, these are Gildan So your hoplite class is your warrior class here assassin again class is here the queen Ranger class. This is an interesting class as well. I've been using Mireia before but I I went back to the caster instead, which is Isa So and adults I do it tricks is are your healers so again These are your character classes and your elements So as you can see each character has their element here red yellow Purple purple is dark white is light Red is fire and blue is ice or water. So you have elements as well you can sort them out and And That's it for your roster. Let's go through one of the one of the characters that I like which is queen. I Love how she is made really so you can actually upgrade your Upgrade your What do you call this you can upgrade each of your characters here? So I'm at level 30 for you to go over level 30. You'll have to Modify your weapon here. Let's do a modification here So one modify then also modify this one Then at this point you can already You can already Appearance actually, I think there's another option for a different skin for your weapons I'm not sure if they have it but it appears that if you have an appears button definitely you can change it So you can refine this. Let's do refine And once you refine you can increase your character level Every time you refine your weapons you modify your weapon now. I can bring her to level 50 so she has a cap of 50 then Awaken is charge that you get for the character each of each of the characters once you get What do you call this once you get duplicates? You'll be getting shards where in you can awaken them up to six star So every character in the game you can can bring up to six star Then for your weapon again, just want to go back there Affinity is here gifts and other things in terms of your character character skills you can upgrade as Well per levels again, there are a lot of things to upgrade skills weapon Star levels Level characters then also this is what I meant a while ago when I when I was talking to you about Kind of your equipment. So these are your equipment. They're named after other characters as well So as you can see play equip, they're called play equip So currently you have sets you have several sets that you can incorporate once you act once you have Equipment of the same set then you activate these additional stats. So it's better that you equip your characters with the Same set equipment so that you can unlock content. So right now I have equipment here for three star Yeah, I even have four star but some of the sets are not are incomplete even a five star So I'm currently using three at this point and this is what you farm eventually in the game. So That is it for your characters again Your character the characters that that they have in the game are I Wouldn't say they're unique at this point They are when what above average in terms of the design I've seen I've seen or the designs are actually Not common I would say the designs are usually Relatable to other games that I've seen so it's close to other games But it's it's it's a mix match of their own plus designs from the other games that I've seen but again Character design is pretty impressive. I am not to complain about character design at this point because I Think it's good Action here is pretty much crisp so so as you can see as you unlock other achievements then The game prompts you to claim other things or claim all again I've told you that guys and let's go to probably a gameplay. So let's go to adventure I'm actually here in Level 315 I haven't cleared this yet. Let's see if I can clear this the out on man Well, so I'm gonna take you guys to a simple gameplay of the game so far the gameplay is what is Attracting me to the game and Let's do a formation. So this is your initial formation If you want to change a character or their positions, you can actually choose where they can be placed So this is Your defender this is your hoplite here Then this is your mage. Let's just swap her out for an assassin So there you go Click confirm Then if you're okay with the formation, you can actually change the formation if you feel that your previous formation is not bad Then you can as you can see here. There are additional things that you can reference when you deploy Your class and also your element Please make sure that you check your elements Counter effects and resist counter defects here So let's do this one just to give you guys an idea on how this game is played So these are your skills here. So these are the form of cards that you can That's a zoom out for a while Because I need to see Not that one. I need to see the battle you can actually Better if you zoom out so that you can see the HP bar for you know each of the here's that you have and Also be able to be competitive as well.  You won't be able to heal them or you would just be shocked that they're no longer in the screen in front of you So I forgot to mention as well that you have Okay, just gonna go through Another stage here Once you you do a lot of skills your ultimate will be powered up Let's do another Battle for that one. I forgot to I forgot to click on the ultimate In chapter four already, let's just go through one again of the stages here and I'll also demo you guys a that was actually on manual the first one the second one would be on auto When you play on auto you can basically also You can basically also So let's do with this one Right now. I'm starting it on manual as you do your skills here As you do your skills here, you'll be basically Be charging up your ultimates here So let's charge up those ultimates every time a character uses an ultimate then Everything is charged up I'm at level 22 Okay, so this is a train stage which is in waves. I think we can do an ultimate here already So let's do a fight here Let's do auto auto is nice to have as well Especially if you are doing something doing work doing chores doing doing homework, whatever But again, you still have to some of the skills You might not be able to time, but I can't go through the ultimate guys The enemy gets you know gets taken out quickly But your ultimate is nice really to have but the problem is every wave it resets So as you finish off stages, I'll put this on auto as well As you finish up stages, hopefully we could demo the auto in a while So let's do this one on auto while we Have your ultimates here recharge So so far I Don't shoot. I'm not sure if we can reach the ultimate again. I think we can so Hopefully There you go one ultimate came around before Before the enemy died so that is your ultimate as long as you use your skills Then you could power up your ultimate and give it a go so that is it for our Gameplay I'm just gonna give you guys a tip here for every stage that you have an auto battle is present here But it's not solely for the stage you're in so if you want to farm a specific currency Let's say for example.  So you just Put for example 10 then you click check then you could go battle start So if you want to sort through targeted item, you can also sort them here and this will filter out as well So this is their auto battle system. It's not really per stage You actually have a lot of things to choose here a lot of currencies to choose from again This might this might look confusing at first, but eventually you'll get a hang of this So every stage that you go through even if it's not in the adventure stage You will have the auto battle to check out and click on if you are Going to be farming for a specific resource. So that is it guys.  I like the battle system Especially the gameplay.  Those are my first impressions again the game I'm looking forward to having it out in global soon After the CBT, I'm happy to have this game and to have reviewed it Probably by the end before the end of CBT I'll be putting out a tier list for for all the characters here that so far have have seen and Tested out and hopefully that can help you guys as well. So thank you guys for staying this far.  There's the warden and I'm out of here


So anyway, I want to say welcome to another episode of The Nonprofit Show. Again, I'm joined with one of my all-time favorites, Jack the Lotto, CFRE trainer for Fundraising Academy, coming to us bravely to answer questions. And these questions are something that we get to do each and every Friday because of the great support that we get from Blumerang, American Nonprofit Academy, your part-time controller, Be Generous, non-profit thought leader, non-profit nerd, staffing boutique, and Fundraising Academy at National University. They are our big sponsor for each of our Friday Ask and Answer episodes. If you want to learn more about what we've been talking about, whether it be the Ask and Answer or any of our more than 700 episodes, you can find us on our channels on Roku, YouTube, Amazon Fire TV, and Vimeo. And if you'd like to consume your content or listen to our voices without our voices, you can. A lot of people want to do that for me. I'll tell you right now, Julia. I like to listen to that guy, but I don't want to see him on camera. God, listen, you know, I want to hear my voice and like, oh my God, I sound like a screeching woman, but that's neither here nor there. QSS, because we have our episodes all on podcasts. And Jack, this is really cool. I just got noticed from our executive producer, Kevin Pace, that we just hit our 10,000th download of our podcast last week. Wow, let's dance, let's dance, let's dance. Yeah, definitely, that's congratulations. Thank you. That's just what a success, what an accomplishment.  But anyway, we get a lot of questions that have come in. So are you ready? Yes, let's do it. Okay, Peggy from Norman, Oklahoma writes, how can our nonprofit ensure our client programs are utilizing the most current technologies and are not outdated? We're not really tracking tech advancements in the tech industry, and I don't even know how to go about it. Yeah. This is an interesting question because, you know, the pandemic has pushed forward tech to the nonprofit sector like never before, but from my position, I think it's been all like donor-centric, fundraising-centric. It hasn't really addressed programming. What do you think? Yes. Well, you know what, I love the, you know, I like this question so much, Julia, because at the heart of it, she's asking us to tell her how she could use tech to better serve and advance the mission of the organization. And what she's saying is there's a tool out there that I need to know more about. So help me find information about how I could better utilize that tool to advance the mission of my nonprofit. I love this person. And I hope she's listening right now because kudos to her, four stars. So here's the thing. There are tons of conferences about nonprofits and techs. In fact, I Googled it just yesterday and I noticed that there's a conference coming up in April in Denver. There's another conference that's coming up in Phoenix, your hometown. Some of these conferences are only in-person conferences and so much more affordable. You have a place where you can find a lot of information about tech and fundraising or tech and nonprofits. Some of your sponsors offer some great Blumerang with blogs, for example, or other organizations that like AFP icon has it. We on our, at the Fundraising Academy on our My Learning Portal, we have a great webinar by Ryan Genard and it's about future trends in tech. Free, go there, get it. There's lots of free stuff out there for you to utilize. I agree, Jack. I think it's really important to start asking other organizations that have programs, maybe similar to yours, to see kind of like what that might look like and how some of these things are being utilized in other parts of the country because you're right. We have spent a lot of time and energy on the fundraising side, the donor management side, just management, but programming, yeah. I think we can do a better job. Yeah. Last but not least. It's a tool. Yeah, it is a tool. And I think that really, yeah. I think there's funding out there for this too. I think that's exciting. I think that there's funding out there for creating a tech strategy plan and that is something that then you can step back and really dig into what that implementation will look like. And so look for that type of thing. Right. Absolutely, absolutely. Okay, well, let's go on to our next question. And Jack, you know how excited I get when I see a name withheld. Dun, dun, dun, dun. Name withheld from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Rights. Another nonprofit in our community has started reaching out to our clients. We are a veteran's focused nonprofit. Should we approach this other nonprofit or try other ways to attract our clients back? Not donor, I'm saying client. I hear the word client. Yeah, right. So here's the thing. We started this conversation earlier. We owe our veterans so much. I mean, that's a statement that everyone in this country could agree on. We owe them a lot and they deserve quality care and if it's PTSD or whatever it is, they deserve it. What I say to this organization, yes, reach out to that other veterans group, but not as a competitor, but as a collaborator. Sit down with them.  We owe them so much. Look at it this way. I work for our faith-based organizations. All of the faith-based organizations, Catholic Charities, LDS Social Services, Jewish Family Services, Lutheran Social Services, they would get together and they would look at the population they were caring for and they'd say, okay, Jewish Family Services, you're gonna help with refugees. Catholic Social Services, you're gonna do this. Lutheran, you're gonna do this and that's the way they took care of the community by collaborating. Here's the final example, hospitals. Hospitals, for example, in the Bay Area. Some hospitals don't do behavioral health because that's not their specialty. They do other things. Maybe they do pediatric ER or something else. They sit down and they say, how do we care for this community in a way that benefits the community? So guys, get together, collaborate, don't compete, don't try to poach clients from each other, help them. Do with that community of care. Simple as that. I like this, Jack. And I also think that what we're seeing, we're seeing a lot of funders demand this. A lot of funders saying, you need to come together in a collaboration because we're tired of sending little bits of money to everybody. We'd rather really dig in deep and get the best minds from the best groups. And so I love your attitude and your approach. Collaboration is key. And I think it's truly like a sustainable issue. Yep. And who's gonna benefit? Those men and women who have protected us. That's who benefits. Absolutely. Well, I hope that helps Pittsburgh. Name withheld and Pittsburgh. I love those name withhelds. Man, those are like juice impressions. Okay. It's true. Walter from San Antonio, Texas writes, are there special banks or credit unions that focus on nonprofits? We need to develop a relationship with a company who understands our sector. Everybody does, yes. Yep. So here's my first thing. The first thing in anything that you're gonna do as a nonprofit is does that organization share our values? Yeah. Do they have a synergy with our values? What are our values? For example, when I worked with faith-based hospitals, maybe they wouldn't take money from tobacco companies or have anything to do with tobacco companies. It's the same thing for nonprofits. The organization mothers against drunk driving. Do you think they're gonna take financial support from alcohol or spirits company? Probably not, most likely not, definitely not. So the first thing is do they share our values? And then the second things are ease of using. If you're using electronic fund transfers, for example, for monthly giving, then how easy is it for your donors? Are they customer-centric in the same way you're donor-centric? If you're donor-centric, then the bank you use to do the business with your donors must also be donor-centric. Is it ease of use? If it's their credit cards that you're using to process their monthly gift or an electronic fund transfer, it has to be easy. And then the third thing is what are their fees? Are they're charging too much? I think someone mentioned credit unions sometimes credit unions are much less expensive than a full-service bank. So you have to do your homework, but keep in mind values, donors and fees. You know, credit unions are nonprofits. And so that is a great, I think, synergy. And I would definitely look into the credit union system in this country and in Canada. So for those of our viewers watching us from Canada, you have the same kind of structure, but you're not gonna find a bank necessarily or credit union that just deals with nonprofits. But for the most part, they're going to have nonprofit divisions. So you need to find out who is the lead of the nonprofit division or department. And here's the little tip. Most of these groups will have completely different fee structures and programs for nonprofits. So that might be including a different merchant rate on these electronic transfers. It might be no fees on your monthly checking. I mean, it might be lines of credit that are at a different rate. So find out who these people are because chances are they can help navigate you to other nonprofit specialists. So definitely Walter, check this out. And to Jack's point, this is worth some investigation. More than 11 million people go to work every Monday for a nonprofit in this country. That's a hell of a lot of money injected into our economy. From payroll taxes to just payroll in general, healthcare coverage, we're a huge economic engine. And we don't often recognize that, right? And so do your homework because this is a huge topic. Walter, I hope that that has helped. And somebody told me a long time ago, Jack, in your boat for your nonprofit, you need a couple people. You need a banker, you need an attorney, you need an accountant, and you need a good board leader, a board chair. And then you can row through pretty much any storm if you have those four passengers in your boat. Yeah, I like that. That's really good. I may use that again, Julia. Do, please, please do. The boat metaphor, I'll call it. I'll tell you, a banker told me that. Yeah, it's true. It's absolutely true. It really is. Well, Walter, I hope that helped. Let's go on to Sharon and Baltimore, Maryland. The number of applicants to our nonprofit mentoring program has been declining since last spring. We have more mentees than mentors. Help. Yeah, I love this question. I think they need to take a careful examination as to what's going on. And they have to ask themselves some really important questions about this program. Are they mentor-centric? Can they clearly articulate the benefits to the mentor by being a mentor? Many of these organizations that provide this, they talk about the change that happens in the mentee. Yes, that's beautiful. That's really important. And I think it's great. But maybe what they also need to do is start talking about the benefits to the mentor. And there are lots of benefits. Mentors are changed by that interaction they have with mentees. It's a two-way street. It's not me as a mentor giving you everything you need to do and me not getting something back. I've learned in my roles as mentor. It's really an important role. The second thing I think that is really important that may help her with this is to ask her board members to start advocating and going out there and talking about the value of mentorship for both parties in that relationship. And thirdly, use your current mentors as ambassadors. Have them go before the rotary and talk about what they're getting by being a mentor. Have them go to the Chamber of Commerce. Let them use their circle of influence, their network to talk about the values that they get from being a mentor. And I think that will help you in the long run. Definitely do the stories that mentees will give as well as mentor. Start publishing those in your newsletter, on your website. Those stories where a mentor says, you know what? I got as much out of this relationship and I learned a lot going forward and it changed me personally and helped me understand my values better. Have that story on your website. It will really benefit that program. You know, I love that. And I think that's really an incredible way to look at a problem. And so you could take that framework for a lot of different issues where you feel like, wow, something's falling down, is to move that back around and say, okay, what is the benefit? And to interview the current mentors, maybe even mentors that have left to find out, well, why did you leave? You know, this isn't a shame interview. Just an opportunity for us to try and figure out what we could do better. And then I would say it would be really an interesting thing to talk to the mentees and find out what they got from the mentors. You know, like, what did I learn to be more confident or did I learn to be more intellectual? Or did, you know, it might not be what we think, right? We project a lot. What we think is going to happen in this relationship might be different. What do you do with volunteers? What do you do? You help them create job descriptions about what your expectations are within. You do the same thing with mentors. Here are our expectations.  Create that, that those expectations. We do it with our board members. You know, you're gonna come to one board meeting. All of those same systems that we use to have a volunteer have a great experience with our organization. We use those mentors. And then accountability. Make them accountable as well. If they're not doing it and they're not showing up with their meetings with their mentees or they're not providing some of the important things, then they need to be moved along. I mean, accountability is as important. You know, I mean, I see lots of organizations who are working with new nonprofit organizations showing I'm sure they're all over the country. They're all over the country, you know, where they provide some help with this small, fledgling nonprofit. The responsibility and they bring these executives maybe from business to mentor them in finance or strategic planning or whatever. There's lots of organizations doing that. So, you know, but they have an accountability factor. That's what we have to do internally with our organization and be mentor-centric. Let it be a value to them. Otherwise they're gonna say, bye. See you later. Pardon me, I love that. I also think that it's really, again, so much of your advice and in the direction of this can and should be used in other facets of managing our nonprofits, especially with programming where there is a human element, there is a human condition and we need to provide and honor a good environment so that we do get that continued support. And sometimes we have to ask those hard questions. We need to put aside what we think is happening and what we think should be happening, but to really dig down and look at this. Jack, as always, you give us so much to think about. I love, love, love your energy and your approach. It's been amazing.  Is that started or? We just had our first meeting last week. Our second meeting is tomorrow. So we're in the throes of it. I have 127 participants in that group. Is it too late to join? No, it's never too late.  Okay, awesome.  The CFRE part is something that you do in support of our sector. And from everything I've learned from you and from other CFREs, this is not a journey you can take on your own. You do need support. You do need to find a cohort to be successful. And then I would also say it's not just about the test, but it's about being professionally successful. If you can find those other people to join in with you along your journey, you're gonna be a lot more successful. So check out that process.
