Let's go to Andy in Boulder, Colorado. Hey, Andy, what's going on, brother? How much are you telling how you're doing? I'm great, man, yourself? Pretty good. Hey, congratulations on the grand baby. Yes, thank you. I know. Tommy just sent me a picture. I mean, it's gorgeous out right now. He just was taking off for his first walk, so on it. All right. He's prowling and prowling already. Yeah, I bet. Now, Tom O'Brien. Hi, everyone. Basil Chapman sitting in for Tom O'Brien. And we're looking at, on this Wednesday, the 16th of March, where the Fed has already had the Fed speak. There are a whole bunch of things that we're going to look at. I'm going to start off right now and just go straight to the TLT, which is the bonds. The bonds slumped to 130.32 today. It was at 155.12 in December. This looks like a stock. In fact, if you look at this chart right here, there are so many stocks that look with this double top and then aphadia, and then the cup formation gives a one-to-one to the downside. There are just so many stocks that have done that. This looks like a stock, but it's not. It's bonds, the safety of bonds. Remember? Well, 155 down to 130, between about 25 points, I would say that that's quite a dip. At this particular point, let's go through this one step at a time. And one of the reasons for my subscribers to my opening call yesterday morning, early when I sent out my newsletter at about 8.10, I said, we want to go along the Dow Dimes. We want to start at least a small position. We want to get in. It's the only new position we've got for the day. That's what we want because there's a really good chance based on the fact that the MACD, the moving average convergence divergence, crossed positive usually after that happens, especially in the daily chart, you get at least further upside activity. Well, that was yesterday. And you can see right here, yes, there's the daily chart on the left. You can see the Dow did cross positive. So just for the moment, we'll step aside. When we're talking about the bonds, we'll talk about just each index. And I'll tell you what's really important at this particular time, based on my methodology. This cluster formation that we're seeing right here, very often in the Chapmanian methodology, you get what's called a, it's a buy signal that doesn't get to a buy mode. The buy mode didn't apply. There should be at least four higher peaks. But all it does is it goes to like peak A, just one peak up, and then it fails or it goes to A, and then B, and then fails. But it does not take out that initial low. I just do this to show you, for those of you new to my work, the Chapmanian notation price comes down and you try to identify the lowest low bar and then each, like a sawtooth wave to the upside, you count each successively. You're basically grading alphabetically in sequence, each higher peak. And the idea is to get to usually to a peak A and then a B. And at that point, there's a chance that you can go to a buy mode, which implies there should be at least four higher peaks. That's your obligation in this particular pattern to go from a buy signal to a buy mode. Now, sometimes this starts off and then it fails and it tries to gain track, but it doesn't take out that initial low. If it takes time and moves sideways, at some point when everything kicks in, not only does it go to a buy mode, it actually could recycle and go peak A, B, C, D, E, F, and even G, or the D recycles, but it's a very powerful move. We haven't got to that stage just yet, but I want you to just explain the pattern that we're looking at. So that's number one. That's the first pattern. The second pattern is within this context, I do not like to see a very quick peak A, a bar rest, a peak B, a bar rest, and not very high. And then a leg C, and look today, there was this big move up to the upside. And the pattern that I show right here from the high that was made at 36,952.65 on the 5th of January, look at the lower lows. Sorry, look at the lower highs and much lower lows. That's a pattern that I call the falling axe. Let me just see if I can draw that in. Yep, there it is. So that's a pattern where price goes higher, then it starts to come down, starts to make these lower highs, much lower lows, then all of a sudden it finds a base and it tries to break out of that uptrend line, which is actually the down, the upper downtrend line, and then it can go one to one to the upside if it succeeds in breaking that and turning that line into support. Whoops, wait a minute. It tried to break out to the 35,824 level around about February the 7th, 8th, and it failed and that inside track repellent zone has produced a reversal every single time. What a nice little technique, instead of one line, trend line, it's easy for all of you to do. You just grab another line, make a parallel line, and within about a 16th inch of an inch or so, you have this inside track either a propellent zone on the downside, we'll look at the ES in a moment, and I'll show you that, or a cell zone right here. So this cell zone says it's already in leg C, that's already using up a little bit too much, you serve too much energy without really going anywhere on a closing basis if it was up at the 33,951, instead of 33,702, the day is young. Anything can happen, but so far, this is a long-legged doji type candle, there's a lot more that has to happen. I would say by Friday afternoon, the Dow has to at least test this 200 period exponential moving average of 34,363, and by Monday or Tuesday of next week has to be holding the 34,000 level as support if this is going to be a signal that says we should go into next week with higher highs, okay. But at the same time, as I said, for subscribers, we went along early yesterday morning. We got just a little above the price that I initially, I thought was the preferred price, but we did get in. And I did not only raise the stop to a gain so that there was a bit of a profit. Why? Because even if we pull back on FedSpeak today, my gut feeling was that this histogram, there's a 0% line in the MACD, was starting to turn positive, and that at least gives you a cushion to the downside. Remember, the restart of the buy signal, we can get a whole bunch of those as long as we don't take out 32,272. I'm spending time with the Dow because this is the one that I'm looking at very closely. It in many ways is holding a lot better than the others. Monthly, the weekly chart is in a sell mode. The monthly chart hasn't given a sell signal yet still in a buy mode. Let's go to the S&P. I'll try to finish these off quickly because there is a lot to discuss and there are a lot of questions. S&P, so this is very important. You see this trend line? You remember the inside track repellence zone? Well, look at this going all the way back to last year in August of 2021. This is a daily chart. I drew in this pattern. I made it very light. Now I've made it a deeper color to show the support level. So the 41,14.65 low of the 24th of February, you see all these restarts yet, but in the H pattern, we're not breaking, we're not doing a dreaded H pattern. We haven't taken out 41,14.65. This is with the war going on. This is with appeals for all sorts of things. This is with wheat going to highs, crude oil going to major highs. This is with all the VIX index holding very, even now the VIX is at 27,26, still pretty high. And yet it's held this chapter with inside track repellence zone. So far, the action is not good, but it's holding. There's a lot to talk about as soon as I returned Basel Chapman, tiger take hopes. I do the tiger traditions at 10 o'clock every day. This is a Tom and Brian show. I am fortunate to be the guest host today. There's a lot to discuss. I also want to show you the E-minis how there was a Chapman wave squash pattern and that you broke out to the peak C and now we're in, we have went to peak D.

Hi everyone, Basel Chapman, we're back, sitting here for Tom O'Brien. I do the Tiger Technician's Hour 10 o'clock to 11 o'clock Eastern time every market day and the opening call is my daily newsletter. So look at, look, this is a technique I've always felt from what 20 years ago when I joined TFNN and spoke to Tom O'Brien before he asked me to join TFNN, I said, as long as it is educational, that's absolutely fantastic with me because all the work that I do is based on certain methodologies that I've developed over the years. So here's one that I call, the reason why I put the MagD above the stochastic in all my charts is that there's a particular pattern that I discovered years ago and that is when there's a sharp move up and the MagD expands at nine period differential goes way above the 14 period moving, sorry, above the 28, 26 period moving average and the stochastic has gone from under 20% preferably under 10% single digits to 20 and then 22% all within a really quick move. Now, I saw just even yesterday someone said, no, no, moving averages are lagging indicators. You tell me, is this a lagging indicator? Let me just draw this line right here. I'm gonna move this line up, I had it for another reason. I'm just gonna move this vertical line. You see the stochastic? The stochastic turned up. The on-battles volume turned up one bar before the low. This is the one minute chart of this is the March, in many years, the prices are changed but the pattern is exactly the same for the June. But look, the stochastic turned around two bars before the actual low and then the MagD was just three bars after the low. So yeah, they're all lagging indicators but believe me, if you use them together with other things, they can give you fabulous turns and then the squash is where the stochastic runny sharply over 80%, the MagD is expanding and you're either still only in leg A or maybe you've gone to B and that says there should be a really quick move. This is a very nice change because it gave you all these different signals and that was at 42, around about 42, I think it was 68 and it turned green, meaning the nine went over the 14 period moving average and the rule of thumb in my work is that when you get the chamber wave squash between the stochastic and the MagD, it goes really quickly to peak A, peak B and then a C and then the torque, the initial take-off low gears of the move to the upside, hands it over to the momentum of the MagD and finally you get peak C takes a breather and then the MagD takes over for your D and there is your D and if you look at the pattern, the reason why I had this one over here is that I chose that for my left side, right side price time match, it wasn't exactly with the plumb line in the middle, that would have been the plumb line there but I identified through a particular candle, if it doesn't look like it's gonna work in like a lopsided cup or a gravy cup then and you're not going to get that exact semi-circle at the bottom, I have to use other techniques, so I drew this in earlier on and it went, look, it was one bar early getting to that exact high of the left side and just at two o'clock before the Fedspeak at 43, 18, 25, we went to 40, 43, 17, 50, so it missed it by about a mesonadala and double-topped and pulled back and now what have we got, a brand new ABC and this is a new leg D, the futures, the E-mini futures are up 68 points, 68 points after plunging earlier on going down to the 42, 40 level, oh my goodness, 42, 40, we're almost, we're 90 points higher, that's the speed of the smoke and then in the 10 minute charge, you got your peak F-top at about 10 o'clock, that big spike and then kept pulling back, pulling back, pulling back, goes down to that low of 42, 46, we're right there and now we're in still a leg A in the 120 minute charge, now I can go back to what I was discussing before. One of the reasons why I said to subscribers, we want to go long and why today we didn't do anything about the stop other than to make it a profitable trade from the entry point and that basically, this is the diamonds, and if I can just get them in one second, yeah. So that was, I'm not clicking the right buttons, there you are, click. So we're looking at an entry at start along at 330.75, now we've got a 332.25 stop and I didn't want to raise the stop or even say take off some money because the point was that off this Fed speak, if we got this sudden sharp move to the downside and by the close and that was really important, that's why I was saying that this last hour is so important. If we can come back, we don't have to go back to where we were but we're actually almost there were up 340 points in the Dow, we're up 68 points in the S&P, there's a chance that all that downside momentum has formed at least a base of support. That's what you want to see in this extended rectangle formation in the H pattern that doesn't take out the left side low but in fact has really bad news but just doesn't want to break down especially in today like this, can you imagine shorts right now? People have said, oh, this is it, I knew it, I knew it, oh the Fed, we're down 170, we were up 400 points and all of a sudden what's happened? So that says to me, it doesn't tell you how high you can go but it does say finally we've got a cushion of support at least for the coming three, maybe five days, that's really important. Now let's see where we can go on the upside, look the S&P, the histogram finally cross positive, days young, we've got 25 minutes to go, anything can happen but what's really important is you've got your V shape recovery in the on balance volume, the blue line, the stochastic was giving you a really positive divergence by holding one at 36%, that's a lousy action but at least it's holding. It says there's just a chance that this Chapman-Web inside track propellant zone is working its magic and that at least the 43, 86 level of the 200 period moving average can become a target. Oh, but wait a minute, we've got more, we've got to look at what the Chapman-Web inside track will repellent zone. Now I call them Chapman-Web because it's under the umbrella of all my different techniques and this is to identify from other techniques, everybody has different techniques and that says together with the 400 period, the orange line, the 200, oh, I meant to show you, talk about orange line, look at this, look at the, this is the one minute chart, look how important that orange line, you see this orange line right here, even when we made your member peak D as the objective, even when it went above from this level at 1140, whatever moment that was, that was on the 60s, that was at this morning, 1140, rallying up from the 200 period moving average, it comes down, tests it, breaks it and then oh, that becomes resistance. It's resistant, you don't even have to know about the 200 period moving average when you're down here at 110 this afternoon because you were down at the 42 or 4300 level and then all of a sudden it goes peak ABCDE, it has a retest with a cup formation where just about on the 200 period moving average and then it gets reversed, it gets repelled all the way down and when did it go back to the 200 period moving average, it spent a good 20 minutes testing it and all of a sudden it's broken out, now it's in a new leg E at 43, 32, what was the high of the day, 43, 49, 50. Oh, what a market, an inch a day, I'm sure there are people that it must have traded inch a day like it was a one year's worth because of so many different up and down moves, I'll be back, Basil Jackson City, what an only tumble grunt, I believe we'll be back tomorrow, I think so. 1053, we'll be right back.

Tom is out and I'm the guest host and I have the privilege of being the guest host. Let's go to Sharky and Nate McMass. I believe it is. Hi, Sharky, how are you? Hi, Basil, how are you? I'm well. So, looking at the PTRA and then looking at the NQs, the NQs too. It looks like, you know, you'd mentioned about a 13, 7, 14 close. It looks like we're at 13, 8, 34, or whatever on the NQ, the futures. And PTRA, going back to January 28th, the 652 low, and then March 14th, we had 662 low. So I'm wondering if this thing's coming off the bottom here. And we, it looks like on balance volume is kind of improving. So I'll let you go. Thank you. Okay. I'll do that. Thank you for calling, Sharky. I'll just run around and you can see all the chart patterns in the den. Folks, there's a pattern that I talk about. You come down sharply and then you make a roll over red. This is red because it's called the H pattern. I call it the Dreaded H and red because if it takes out the left side low, that can be very serious. We've seen that many, many times. There's also a pattern that looks very much like this here, where it goes straight up and straight down. Here you can see it's like the Eiffel Tower, straight up, straight down to the PD. And that was back in about the 10th of January. And it plunges from just about 11 to the 650 level. And then it rallies where it starts a buy signal that goes to a buy mode. This is PTRA. Let me just move this away. PTRA is pro-terra ink, common stock. And this is, it does electric vehicle solutions for commercial applications like buses, et cetera. So looking out, I like this, but on a very short-term basis, I love this move up to 8.5% today at 7.49. But there's a big problem. This H pattern suggests that because it did hold the left side low of $6.52 on the 28th of January, you've got to see it continue rallying. Now I was going to ask you, I don't think you're there, right? Cause you were going to listen to me if you're there to say hi, I think you've gone. So it has to follow through because for this H pattern to at least become a lowercase H, to a lowercase M, meaning a second arch is going to unfold. Even if I sit here, I don't know if you're in it, let's just say you're not in it. Would I buy, would I sell? I'd say risk reward based on the fact that it's an EV solution to a problem when we're having gas screaming to the upside. I'm not yet sure I even hear talk about the electric vehicles to the extent that I would have expected. Hopefully battery and all that, everything's going on in the battery so that we can get greater accommodation from batteries, longer lasting and quicker charging because that's what you're going to need if you need an infrastructure. I don't want to get into this now other than years and years and years ago I said when people say to me, oh, the Prius is going to tell us that we electric vehicles, there'll be no more gas engines. I said, it takes 50 years no matter what you do to get from the idea to where you can just turn the key and everything works. It takes 50 years to get to the point where electric vehicles will be as common and the whole idea of gassing up or whatever it is at that particular point, switching batteries, I don't know what it'll be or just charging because it only takes as much as the time as gas. It'll take a long time. We've been there 20 years, got another maybe 20 years to go. So I love this idea, but it's only an idea. I don't see anything in the chart pattern that says it can do anything more than bounce. At 750, if you want to nibble, just start a little position here. Tomorrow cannot be a break under 729, a close to me, that would be just negative action. It has to be a move into the 770 or higher area. If that works, I think there could be a decent bounce to rule of thumb. If it doesn't take out the left side low in the dreaded age pattern and become successful, you can go to the next moving average resistance or gap or doji candle. In this case, the gap high was the second of February, no, second of March at 809. So that would be the big resistance on the upside. If it's able to take that out and fill the gap and then start trading above the gap, that is really positive. So 20, maybe 30 cents stop if you would get in right here, but it's got to work tomorrow and the next day. And looking on the weekly chart, there is a lot of work to be done. I'm not sure this is ready for the big time, but maybe as a trade, yes. Next question I had was, and we just run through here in the Tiger TV, let's see, maybe to make it peak C. What is not able to make it peak C? Yes, so the S&P, let's just do that again. We're looking, can I do all the different indexes? I don't know, maybe I'll do it now. So gold pulled back to the 1895 area. It's actually much better now, it's down only six, but make sure that the 18, I really think of 1890 to 1880 is absolutely critical to hold. If it's able to have a balance off in this oversold condition, the balance is not good enough. It has to get to the 19, it has to be 50 points higher. 1973 area, and it has to do that by Friday afternoon or Monday to say, hey, that was just a momentary glitch on my part. I'm coming right back. As a fear factor, it's in play. Gold, remember to me, gold is the icon of fear. Geopolitical fear, money flows into gold. And that is still extant at this point, but it is a peak E in the Chapman wave at 207, 8.80. On the eighth of March, pullback really sharply, just a percentage wise, down to 1895, good grief, that is a big move. On the upside peak E with the weekly sharp, but the week is young. So that, if it doesn't grow above 2078.80, if that is still the high, because that gets smoothed out, this is the continuous contract 2078.5. If it doesn't go above that, this is gonna be a peak E and the monthly charts making a potential double top with that high that was made back in May. Oh, I should have put the date. August, August of 2020 at, this is a continuous contract, so my price is 21, 13.4. So just filling in this big arch formation, trying to build up some support. That's what we're looking at. Silver, SI, Silver is trading. Oh, questions came in about gold. I'll do that, about the GLD, about the GDS. Sorry, Silver is coming back from today's low, it's still down 0.06 at 2509, made a peak E in the daily. It's only a peak C in the weekly, but the chart in the weekly is improving in the cup formation. It's got quite a way to go. I could draw in the left side, writes that price time match, and that says there's a chance going from this side right through that.  So we've missed that opportunity. I have to now look at this one here, and that says, nah, nothing here is giving me clues. All I can say is that about 2750 in the next, I'm giving it all the way to next Wednesday, will be absolutely incredible action for Silver, but a close below 2419 says 2414 200-period moving average, that's gonna be a common target. High grade copper, high grade copper is actually doing quite nice. What did I hit? Don't do that, don't do that, oh, okay, good. There we go, high grade copper. That's, this is a continuous contract, there it is, nice action today, up 12 cents at 4.63, but it did make a peak at the, I forgot to type that in, at 5.0395 in the continuous contract on the seventh, and then it plunged below 450 and now it's at 463. So copper is in play, it's holding very well, but it hasn't really broken out yet. So let's just look at SCCO, this is a great copper company, this is Southern Copper. Yep, that made that peak D, you're always looking for peak Ds, and there it is, right there, D and it's pulled back sharply, pulled back, and the week is a peak D. So it's holding okay, but it's way off the high. I'll be back in a moment, 304 will be right back for the tunnel.

At<PHONE_NUMBER>. I'm O'Brien. Hi folks, Basel Chapman, sitting for Tom O'Brien. And just to be sure, I had a couple of questions if I could quickly follow up on the one minute chart. Remember this is the March 10th contract. I have no need to change. I'll probably switch over tomorrow to the June. So there's this peak E that we were talking about in the at 327, that's 27 minutes past three Eastern time. And then it pulls back. Now it's trying to make the cup formation to retest the high. But the technicals are starting to weaken. So I always say, remember, you're always fighting two patterns. One's bullish, one's bearish. And this particular instance, you've got the cup formation. If it takes too much time, be careful because that dreaded age pattern says, be careful if it takes out the left side low in the next 10 minutes below 432150, there's a chance that we start to close with a weaker close today of the such a big move to the upside down side and back on the upside, watch this closely. But in the meantime, it's the green line says it's walking the nine period moving average. It's very good. And here on the two minute chart, it's got a peak D. That was a peak E. There's a peak D. And it starts to struggle a little bit as the technicals weaken, but that nine is the way above the 14. Just to reduce some of the technical stuff here because we always get questions about it. So the question, not a question, but a statement came in saying for 60 days, what did General Lai say? Not being able to make a peak C in the spy in the past 60 days. So the S and P, look at this, correct as someone who studied the Chapman Way methodology in great detail. Yes, I agree. Look at this. Since the peak F top at 4818.62 on the 4th of January, we made the dreaded age failure pattern at a peak A minus. We ran all the way to a B, became a B minus at 45.95 after that 42.22 low that was made right about the 24th of January. Then it ran up again, peak A, peak B to 44.1678 from the 41.14.65 low of the 24th of February. And here it is again with a peak B. It's called a gray peak B because it's underneath the previous side. All the technicals not in place for a buy mode. I got a blue, but it should be gray. And we've got the dreaded age so far successful. I'm looking at this and saying, are we just trapped in a rectangle formation? And that instead of using price, we're going to use time to try to get maybe a little bit above the four, the 200 period moving average. Or is this going to be a nice surprise breakout? This is one of those times where because the cell mode in the daily chart is so strong to get a buy signal to a buy mode is going to take a tremendous of price movement, not time, but price. Meaning 44.15, 44.22 would say, ah, now we're starting to rally. And the weekly chart is in a cell mode. And yet with all this stuff going on, record oil, record wheat, record corn, record, just name it. The DBA, DBA, this is the DBA Agricultural Futures. This is the, we've had the DBA for ages. This is the grains. This really tells you a big story, an overall story. Only now it's starting to show some weakness off the heating, 22.64. And this is a negative and this is the same to me. You know what, there's a chance that these commodities and oil, et cetera, actually pull back here from a news related spiral to the upside. And now if they're going to have a normalization at a higher price, but way off the highs. And that's going to give the market some breathing room to at least move high. And that's the reason why I didn't want to get out of any position of we have long positions and we've raised stops for certain. But in the Dow diamonds, basically buying before the open yesterday, I don't really want to mess around with that. I think that that has a chance to at least move higher, we'll see. So this is go on to, I did that, I did that. I do want to spend some time on the TBT, which is the inverse of the TLT, Lehman 20 year treasury bond fund. And this is called the ultra short Lehman 20 year T bond ETF. It's run up to date to 20, 120, it's pulled back to 2062, long legged doji when it hasn't closed, but it looks a little bit like a doji candle. And as I'm looking at it right now, regard hasn't just done all the work for the Fed. Look at this. I mean, really the high that was made back in March, the week of the 19th of 2021, at 2260, plummets down to under 16. And then it rallies up peak APB where your legs see there's the Chapman Wave inside track target repellent line. And that's just saying, okay, you got a break above that, but you can keep using that as a magnet point and it says by the 22nd of April, there's a chance that yields will be tested. This is the yield, TBT is the yield basically at 2260, we'll test that by then and we're at 2262. That's two points that could take a little longer, but that's really what we're looking at. If we're looking at, oh, I do have to show this chart. Let me just do this, because some of you asked if I could show it again. Let me just do this right here. There it is. This is the 30 year bond, T bond yield, the 10 year T note yield and the five year T note yield. White is for the 30 year, brown is for the 10 year and five is the cyan yield. And what are we looking at? Look at this, how close they are together. Look at that. You've got 21.88 for the five year and the four year, it's actually overlapping. The four year, I'm sorry, the 10 year, if I can tap on it, there. The 10 year is, uh-oh, something stuck. Hello, anybody home? You don't need that. Oh, there are, okay, good. So here we are, the 10 year is at 21.88 and the five year is at, oh, I can't believe this. 21.96, 2.196 and 2.88, frankly, we're looking at something that is so unusual and we've got the leg C, which is a legitimate leg C at this point, at 24.15, 2.415 for today's high. Is it today's high? Yeah, 2.246. So this is amazing, we're almost at the, no, it can't be, it must be 24. 24.26 is the high and what we're looking at is 2.505 was, so you're almost like a double top potential here. This is really, this has done the work for the Fed. So they have to officialize it now by raising rates, but this is the real reality is that you've already got this huge move up. And look what happened when we went to the high back in March or so of 2021. March of 2021, the general market was holding pretty nicely, even when they were having the pullbacks, you were only having small percentage pullbacks. So this is really important. Most intriguing about this is that within the context of the different sectors, the RTX, which is the RTX, which is the Raytheon, Raytheon is now finally pulling back, LMT, which is Lockheed Martin finally pulling back. So this match, doesn't this match very much we saw in wheat and corn and crude oil and gold even. So I think there's a chance right here that there's a little bit of quietness in the market. And that's the reason why I said, let's try to keep this diamond position as long as we can and we'll try to add it. Now, one of the things that we did today, I'd be, oh, that's a break coming up. Oh, we got one more segment to go and I've got a bunch of questions I wanted to get to. Yeah, there are a couple of questions I'll try to deal with them quickly as we come back for the final segment, Daza 412, S&Ps of 81. Thank you. We needed that. We just needed that, especially after the Fed talking. I'll be back. Basil Chapman, I don't like it. Sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument.

But talking about reality, talking about what to be looking at, I'll talk about it tomorrow. I'm gonna show you the Tiger Traditions Hour at 10 a.m. Eastern time and call in if you have any questions. But yesterday was not a good day in the brokerage area. And that to me was a big disappointment, but I needed to see what happened today. Well, the IAI, the ISHA's Broker Dealer and Security, and just for clarification, we've been long since 45 back in 24th of March, 2020, taking a little bit off, we still have a call position. It didn't act well yesterday, but today it's up 3.89% of $0.80 cents at $102.38. And together with Schwab, that's gonna be really important. Schwab is up 6.5 at 88.58. This is a beautiful turnaround for Schwab. When you look at the monthly chart, it's halfway from the high of 96, is that double top, remember speaking about double tops. So this is really important. I want to see this continue. And if this, look at the monthly chart, the monthly says, ah, big deal, Charles Schwab has a little bit of a pullback, holds the 14 period moving average, and now it's way above. That is really important. So I'm trying to step, it's so hard to step back and say, what is working, what is not working? That's number one. Number two is the XLF finally got a really good search to the upside, hit the 50 period moving averages up, 98 cents at 38.36. I still think this is more problems that we don't know about, but if it holds well, and if the S&P select financial spider fund can actually, doesn't have to even trade there. It just has to once, hit 39.20, it's at 38.35, just once. And that's gonna help that weekly chart because that'll be the first time it's above the nine period moving average for a couple of weeks in the weekly chart. So with that said, there's a lot to discuss and of course tomorrow I'm gonna show you the take into this, so I'll be going through that, check out my opening call, my daily newsletter, and I'm hoping, I think Tom will be back tomorrow, I'm not sure, but have a wonderful evening everybody. Stay tuned for, we'll give you the news, we'll wrap up as we close, and we'll be back tomorrow. Tommy O'Brien, Jr., starts off with a market kickoff at 9 a.m. Fabricio, which is fun to use.

Gender Equality in Sports Female participation and popularity in sports increased dramatically in the 20th century, especially in the last quarter century, reflecting changes in modern societies that emphasized gender parity. Although the level of participation and performance still varies greatly by country and by sport, women's sports are widely accepted throughout the world today. Although there has been a rise in participation by women in sports, a large disparity still remains. Before each ancient Olympic Games there was a separate women's athletic event held at the same stadium in Olympia, the Hurrian Games, dedicated to the goddess Hera. In the first Olympic Games in the early modern era, which were in 1896 were not open to women, but since then the number of women who have participated in the Olympic Games have increased dramatically. The modern Olympics had female competitors from 1900 onward, though women at first participated in considerably fewer events than men. Women first made their appearance in the Olympic Games in Paris in 1900. That year, 22 women competed in tennis, sailing, equestrian, and golf. In the 21st century Heather Watson and Fuyuon we broke one of the last taboos in women's sport when both openly admitted they were menstruating, Watson after a self-described poor performance in a tennis match in 2015, and Fuyuon we at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. The 2012 London Olympics were the first games of their kind in which women competed in every sport. The fight for women to gain equality on national levels and in professional leagues, in terms of pay and better funding, has continued. The pay gap in women's sports is a controversial and significant issue. Sports still remain dominated by men, financially and globally. Recently there has been much more crossover as to which sports males and females participate in, although there are still some differences. It is important to give women equal opportunity in sport governance. Society will need to move away from the social conditioning of women into gender stereotype roles and allow for young girls to choose their own path, especially if that includes an interest in sports. Men must begin to see women as equals before women can truly be equals.


Welcome. You see two brothers in here with Fleet Master Chief Bilito to talk about BBD, which is an initiative designed to better match sailors and their skills with billets across the fleet. Fleet, thank you for being here. Good morning. How are you, MC2? Great. Now, talking about BBD, what is the most important thing to know about BBD and what will it do for the Navy? I think for our fleet and our sailors and leadership to understand, billet based detailing is going to fit the right sailor with the right skill to the right job. And I think that's important, that's what they've been asking for. So talking about improved fit, what will a better manning fit do for the Navy, do for sailors? Well, I think when we talk about any of our critical NEC billets, the command will be able to fit their needs to the sailor that's coming on board. So when the activity manning manager sets up their BBD profile, when they ask for a sailor, they'll get exactly what they're asking for. That critical NEC will be filled. It's almost like a one-for-one swap. Right. So how does this work with the current detailing system that we have now? Well, they work hand in hand with CMS ID. What is it providing new or like what is it taking away from CMS ID? Well, for the sailor that's looking for orders, it will be transparent. They will still look for orders like they do today using CMS ID. However, for the detailer and for the command, they will be able to ask for the exact NEC that they need and the details will try very hard not to put anybody in that billet that does not meet the NEC and the skill set that the command is looking for. So in the coming years, what do you see this going? Well, what I'd like to see and I think what we'd all like to see is more transparency. Like I said, right now, it's going to be between the activity manning manager and the detailer. But in the future, maybe we would add a screen where the sailor would be also able to look and see what billets are available at the command and what that command is asking for and know upfront whether or not they fit that particular billet or not. Interesting. Well, I can't wait to see it. Do you have anything else you'd like to add? The only other thing I'd like to share with the commands is it's crucial that that activity manning manager set up that profile, look at what we used to call the legacy EVVR. If that's not correct, here's your opportunity to set up that billet-based detail and then set up your manning profile so that we will make sure and try our best to get the right sailor in the right job. Awesome. Well, Fleet, thank you for being here and answering these questions. Thank you, MC2. You're great. I appreciate what you do. And thank you all for watching. Stay tuned to the rundown to get the latest news coming from CMP. Who are you, Fleet?


On today's Visual Studio Toolbox, you'll see how to keep your secrets secret. You really need to watch this one. Hi, welcome to Visual Studio Toolbox. I'm your host, Robert Green, and joining me today are Andrew Chung and Alicia Chan. Hi, guys. Hi. PM's in Visual Studio Land, and we're going to be talking about secrets management. Now, you might think, well, that's an odd topic. It's the world of open source. There are no secrets anymore. But in fact, your code can contain all kinds of secrets like connection strings and passwords and app IDs that you get if you're putting your app in Azure or et cetera. You probably have those in a config file, thinking, oh, well, it's easy to do. Then if you're not diligent about it, that stuff's now at risk. You put something in a GitHub repo, there's robots that parse through the repos, looking for stuff like this. Next thing, you're in the news because someone just spent $50,000 of your money doing Bitcoin mining or something like that. Absolutely. This is serious problem. So we're going to talk today about some things we can do to prevent that. Absolutely. We're going to go through some of the scenarios you just covered, where we are storing connection strings today in various configuration files, how we can look to mitigate that better if you're working locally and then as you work with Azure components, how you can interact with the Azure Key Vault and store your secrets there. Cool. So I've got a demo pretty much kicked off and ready to go. Okay. The main thing about this is just, it's an ASP.NET Core application. A lot of these features are actually already in Visual Studio 2017. Yeah. Look, there's a great squiggly that now shows up basically which is an awfully polite way of saying, maybe you shouldn't do that. Exactly.  We'll work on the sound file for Alarms Blair and all that fun stuff. But yeah. So I've got here just a new web application. The only thing I've changed is that this page itself, where I've added in a couple of secrets to show that it is reading off of the app settings file. This is a common place where people store their connection strings today. Then I've got an index HTML file, which just we'll call out the values that we're looking at. So right now, if I go ahead and run this. I notice there was also a warning down in the errors letting you know as well. Yeah. We will be covering all of the squiggly lines and warnings very shortly. Okay. Cool. Yeah. So right now, what you see here is the two secrets that we just covered, which is right here in the app settings JSON file. Today, as I said, if you write your secret in here, app setting secret, app setting nested secrets, these are the values that are getting read. Okay. In Visual Studio 2017, if you're working locally, you may not want to connect to any Azure components, really any Cloud components first, you want to make sure your app works as is. One place we've inserted to try to mitigate secrets is this feature called managed user secrets. What this is is a local JSON file. When did that show up? So this shows up here moving too quickly. You right-click on the project. Right. But when was that added? This was added actually, I don't know exactly which version it was, but it was in 2017. Okay. Yeah. This is a local secrets JSON file. What this means is that if you do share your application, this file will not get carried forward. Okay. Yeah. So this is very important, obviously if you're working locally, you've got your own hashes, keys and everything you don't want that shared with the team. Okay. So this has a secret JSON secret, where if I run it once again, you've got a glimpse of that earlier, but you'll see in the third secret, this is the value that's being called out. Okay. So today, updating secrets is fairly simple. If I go into here and just change the secret. Did you show us manage user secrets? Yes. Okay. So what happens when you do that? That's what this does. It opens up a secrets JSON file. Oh, okay. Yeah. So this is another place where you can store secrets. Okay. This is a safer place if you're working locally. Okay. Yeah. If you ever want to update your secrets name, you can just go right in here and say updated. Pardon my typing. Secret. Is that a.NET Core only feature? Does it work with full framework? Great question. So right now, it's a.NET Core only feature. Okay. Actually, in 15.8, which will be released in a couple of weeks, we're going to introduce this feature over to the.NET projects as well. Okay. You enter it the same way. You would right-click on this. You would see the manage user secrets. This doesn't change at all. The only change is that instead of a JSON file, it'll be called secrets.xml. Okay. It's still a local file. It will not carry over. You publish your application. Okay. Cool. Then show me how you reference the contents of that. Sure. So right now, I've just got a basic reference here where I'm just tagging in. I've got the secret name and then I'm just calling the actual secret. Okay. Cool. Alicia will actually speak to how we look into the secrets at runtime. Okay. Cool. So did you want to cover a little bit about detecting secrets? Yeah. All right. So I'm going to take us back to our app settings.json file where people normally have secrets. So the secrets that we looked up before, we just made up some stuff with different values. Right. This one that we're looking at here is, say you've got an application and you're connecting it to something real like Azure Storage. So this is more so the format of what a real secret might look like. So what we're adding in here is that we've got this Google line saying, hey, you really shouldn't have these credentials in your code like this. We've got this warning for you as well. So if you're looking through your different files, you can be like, it's in this file, this line. Then you could go into the settings and change that to an error if you didn't want it to just be a warning. Right. We're still working on that feature. Oh, okay. Yeah. That's something to come for the feature. That'd be a good feature to have. Yeah. Okay. Okay. So I'm going to hover over this. So what we also added in here is kind of this quick action suggestion for this specific type of warning. So looks like we found a storage key in here. So I'm going to click on the slide bulb to see what options we have. I don't know why my other option isn't here. So part of the reason right now it only shows the moving to local secrets.json is that there should be another option to move to Key Vault as well. In this case, we haven't walked through how to set up the Key Vault yet and we'll do this actually right now. All right. Cool. So. So actually do that. Move the secret to the local secrets.json and show us what happens. Yeah. Sure. So this is similar to the manage user secrets thing that we showed you earlier. This is a different entry point to it. So if we were to move the secret to the local secrets.json, then what happens is we're removing the sensitive part of the secret out of your code.  We also have an info bar here. So if you want another entry point to get to your manage user secrets, you can also click here. Okay. Yeah. Cool. Okay. I guess we can show the Key Vault scenario as well. And then, so before we do that, so now what you've done is you've taken plain text and you've moved it from one place to another. So you then wouldn't check secrets.json into GitHub. So no one could get it that way. Then when you build the application that gets built in as part of the executable or the binaries and then you're covered, right? Is that basically, so at runtime, this is not just part of the applications code. For your local application, absolutely. Okay. Cool. Yeah. So that was for if you're doing a local application. So say you want to go beyond that. You want to be able to share this application with other people and still have it work. So we're going to add in a Key Vault so that we can store secrets in a different way that allows for this to be more versatile. So if you go to Connected Services, you can add in a Key Vault and it's really easy. So you go through this menu. This was a feature that was introduced in 15.7, so it was our last release. Okay. All right. So this obviously assumes you have an Azure subscription. Correct. I'm signed in with my Azure subscription right now. And then presumably what you're doing here, let's say someone doesn't have Azure, they're not doing Cloud Development, but they want to be able to store their keys in Azure. I'm going to assume that the cost of this is fairly low since you're just storing tech somewhere, right? Much lower than losing that Bitcoin. Exactly. Probably a lot less than that $50,000 we talked about. Yeah. Okay. Well, it's actually just a few cents, I believe it's three cents per transaction. Okay. Yeah. And you can also review that here if you want to check right before you make this. That's a pretty good deal compared to the cost of this deal, yeah. All right. Cool. So yeah, we take you to here. You just got to pick your subscription and we'll go ahead and make a new Key Vault for you by default or you could pick through existing ones that you might have. Okay. Yeah. If you hit the Edit button, that's where you can get into some of the advanced options where you start understanding both the resource group, what type of pricing tiers, and where you want your Key Vault to live. But for the most part, if you're just getting started for the first time, we've removed a lot of those hurdles. So Key Vault has different pricing tiers? Yes. That's interesting. Okay. All right. Okay. With those, then we can move on and add our Key Vault. Awesome. You may have noticed a bunch of text there. What we're doing through connected services when you hit that Add button, it's not magic. All that we're doing is looking for the NuGet package, we're installing it, and then we're adding the environment variables into Launch Settings to reference the actual Key Vault. Okay. Yeah. Cool. If you hit the output window down at the bottom there as well. That's just a normal Azure resource. You can go to the portal and take a look at it and see it. Exactly. So once you've added it, like you can see here, there's three settings on the right side where you can start it'll get you right into the Key Vault that you've just hooked up. Then presumably if you change these settings, you could do it through the portal. So these are actually links out to the portal. Right. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Excellent. All right. Cool. So now we've got this Key Vault linked up. So I'm going to go back to our app settings, and I'm going to undo the move of our secret. So I can show you what it would be like if you were to move it to Key Vault. Okay. Cool. So let's go back to here and our quick actions just have to give it a second. Yeah. So you'll still see the squiggly line, you'll still see the error because we just undid our move over into the secrets.json file. So we're going to revisit our quick actions here, and you'll see that now that we have a Key Vault hooked up. Okay. That's the option. Yeah. So say I want to move my secret to Azure Key Vault now instead of secrets.json. That Key Vault is set up at the project level or at the Visual Studio level. That's correct. You can have one Key Vault per project. Okay. And you're thinking about whether you'd have a Key Vault for cross projects. Is it a Visual Studio setting? Yeah. So when user needs? Absolutely. So the connected services portion that we showed earlier, you can configure the same Key Vault across multiple projects if you want. Okay. Cool. So let's move our secret to Azure Key Vault. So since you've got a Key Vault configured, we just confirm that you want to move the secret into this Key Vault. So let's click okay, and then we'll wait. Cool. So we've got this notification that our secret has been moved to Azure Key Vault and we can access it through connected services, which is that page that we showed you earlier. Okay. So let's look back at our source code real quick. So once again, we've removed the sensitive portion out of your code into Key Vault, and left behind a comment of what happened to it, telling you that you can access it and find it in Azure Key Vault. Okay. And then where is, so somewhere is stored what Key Vault to work on, and then are the credentials cached? Do I have to sign in to Azure, the app to signs in to Azure on my behalf at right time? So when you set up your Key Vault for the project, it's using your credentials, and automatically grants your Key Vault that you've just created, user access. So every project that your user is tied to will have access to that Key Vault. It'll look slightly different when we talk about publishing the app into Azure, at which point the access will be granted at an application level. Okay. Yeah. All right. So I'm going to visit our connected services page, so that we can go to the portal because I want to show you guys that the secret was actually moved into the portal. So if you go to this option, manage secrets stored in this Key Vault, it'll bring us to the Key Vault to the page where your secrets are all listed out. All right. Cool. So if you'll look here, you've got a list of secrets. Yeah. And so you can go through and click and confirm that the value is indeed what it was supposed to be. And then I also want to go back and rerun the app again, since now your secret is not in the code anymore, but the app should still run. Okay. And then again, if you're running offline, if you don't have access to the Cloud, then the secret can't be retrieved. Absolutely. Okay. In which case you'll get an error. Right. While you're running this, it might be good just to, we've covered about moving secrets into various places. So, Alicia, can you tell us a little bit about how, at runtime, we read our secrets and which one's the most important one? Yeah, definitely. So for these secrets, since we've got the Key Vault hooked up through connected services, what Visual Studio does is it will look for the secrets in different places based on a precedence that it's got set. So Key Vault is the most secure one, so it'll look there first to see if it can find your secret there. And if not, it'll look through environment variables that you have. And then if not that, then it'll look through secrets.json. And then finally, apps.json. Okay. So you would do Key Vault because it's most secure. Yep. You can also have the secrets.json, which is less secure. Yep. Which then does that defeat the purpose? No, actually, if you have the same secret. Yeah. If you have the same key with different values in various places, the Key Vault one is the one that will be used because it's the most secure. Okay. And then you would just hope that if you change the secret in one place, you got to change it in all. Right. Which is why when we move the secret over, we actually remove the actual secret and leave a comment to let you know, hey, your secret's gone to this new magical place. Okay. Cool. All right. Let's revisit our web app. And you'll see that it is still running, even though it's now reading the secret out of Key Vault and not out of app setting.json anymore. Cool. Yeah. And so these features, we're looking to ship them kind of in the next month or so. So it'd be great to be on the lookout for those and they'll be inside the CD for VS extension. All of the new stuff with the quick action and detection. Oh, okay. So that stuff's coming in 15.8. Is that right? Okay. That's the squiggly line, the warnings that show up as warnings right now. Okay. Cool. And the action of actually moving the secret over into secrets.json or the Key Vault. Okay. And then the ability to do something similar for WinForms, WPF, UWP, non.NET Core apps, I guess, MVC, ASP, anything not.NET Core. Yeah. Probably could have set it that way to begin with instead of going through the whole list. That's coming. Oh, that's a great question. So right now you can actually hook up the Key Vault to .NET projects as well. Okay. Yeah. It's not only limited to .NET Core. Got it. And then we'll look to roll the extension out as the Key Vault supports gets rolled out to the various project types. Okay. Yeah. Okay. So it is coming soon. We don't have an exact data right now. All right. Cool. Cool. Awesome. Cool. One last thing that we wanted to show you is so far we've been working locally. Right. And it's great, right?  Yes. Well, when it comes time for your application to be published out to Azure, we've got a feature coming out in 15.8, which will be in a few weeks, where if I go through the publish flow, this will look the same for any application you work through. So you're just publishing your application into Azure. It's moving the bits over at this point. And this is for both .NET Core and .NET Framework apps that are being hosted in Azure? That's right. Okay. Cool. So once you've published your application, what you'll see is there's a little warning here that tells you, hey, your application relies on secrets. Your local app has been configured to handle secrets. However, your published app right now, you can tell, has no Key Vault associated with it. So it's just letting you know that if you do proceed of this application. Why is that? Why wouldn't it default to using the same Key Vault? Great question, because so this is an app that we're publishing out to the cloud. And we would like to give the users a choice of which Key Vault to use. By default, if they go through Visual Studio, they'll be able to associate the same Key Vault that we've been using already. However, like if you work in a large corporation where you have a separate ops team that manages all of these connections, especially as you go out to various test environments and production environments, you may not want to hook up your test Key Vault with your production Key Vault. Okay. So at this point, assuming that I want to hook up the same Key Vault, all I have to do is click Add Key Vault and it'll already say, hey, your existing Key Vault with your local project can be connected to your published application. And if I hit Yes, what this does is it adds the environment variables, the same one we added earlier into our local application out to the published application. And so you'll see this Key Vault has been set up. And then how would I choose a different one? You would have to go out to the Azure portal and you'd be able to change your environment variables to reference different Key Vaults. So I just actually published that, hit that locally what I wanted to show was the published application. So let me just stop this since we know the local application works and we'll play with the published application. Okay, so before you configured it now you're actually doing the publishing. Okay. Correct, all right. And so when we see the published applications there'll be one slight difference. I'm gonna be curious as to whether or not you can pick that out. All right. There's a missing value. All right. Secret JSON My Secret, which is the one that was stored in the separate file. Right, when we were working locally. Because oddly enough Azure doesn't have the ability to tunnel back into your computer and read things off the hard drive yet. Right, so that's where you can kind of see the value of both sides of the effects. Okay, cool, awesome. Great. So again to review the stuff you showed is coming in 15.8, all of it coming in 15.8? Yeah, let's actually kind of quickly go through the process. What we talked about today was working with secrets. In today's world you can store your secrets in app settings which is a very common place where developers store their secrets. What's already been released is the ability to right click on your solution and this is for both .NET Core as well as .NET applications. Okay. And manage user secrets which will lead you to this local secrets.json file. Or secrets.xml. Exactly. So that's in there today. That's in there today. Right, one part that we visited was Alicia talked about moving your secret over into the Key Vault or the local secrets.json file. That's going to be available within the next month through the CD4VS extension. Okay. Okay. Adding a Key Vault through connected services exists today. Okay. Right, so that whole process we clicked through onto connected services, being able to play with a Key Vault that exists today. The part that will be coming up in a few weeks in 15.8 is as you're publishing, getting that warning that shows, hey, your Key Vault has not been added. Do you want to proceed with it and having the same Key Vault tied to your published application? That will be in a few weeks. Cool. Yeah. So very, very easy tools, very cool stuff. Makes it dramatically less likely that you accidentally give your secrets away and seems pretty straightforward to manage. That's cool stuff. Yeah, thank you. Yeah. If you're going to look at that, if you're not doing it, you really need to highly recommend it. And hope you enjoyed that. We will see you next time on Visual Studio Toolbox.


Live from San Juan, Puerto Rico, it's theCUBE. Covering Blockchain Unbound. Brought to you by Blockchain Industries. Hello everyone, welcome back to theCUBE's live special coverage here in Puerto Rico for Blockchain Unbounded, which is the global event where people from around the world are coming from Silicon Valley, New York, Miami, all over the globe, Moscow, all over the world here, talk about Blockchain, decentralized internet, and of course, Cryptocurrency, your next guest is old Petronina with Adara.io, welcome to theCUBE. Hi, happy to be here. Thanks for coming on, so you're from Moscow, which is, you know, it's cold there right now, what's it like? Yeah, it's minus 15, it's much better here in Puerto Rico, I'm happy. It's so exciting to have you, thanks for coming on. So, the global conference, this is really a global phenomenon, take a minute to explain what you're working on, what the product is, what it will become, is it launched yet, what's the company about, take one minute to explain. Okay, we are building an intelligent Blockchain ecosystem, which consists of exchange and crypto wallet with artificial intelligence mechanism inside.  So you're targeting mainstream investors, not like the insiders? No, no, of course we have professional players on our platform because we're gonna educate our investment mechanism with strategy of professional crypto traders. So, you're gonna have an exchange and software behind it, explain the architecture of the solution. Yeah, right, we are based on them, it's our core partner, and we are early adopters of their new product called Catapult, and we integrated it in our exchange because they have really good new features like aggregated transactions, when you can send a pool of different transactions, or different currencies in one transaction, that's really great idea. And also, they implemented decentralized exchange in their protocol. So, our exchange right now is centralized, and we're gonna build the decentralized part of our exchange based on Catapult. Are you worried about the centralized portion because of the recent hacks? How are you thinking about doing that? Yeah, in case we are using NEM protocol, they have like four layers of security. As for me, it's the most secure and most scalable protocol. And of course, we are using the cold wallets connected to our platform, so we are not storing anything on hot wallets. It's like 95% storing on cold wallets. What's your biggest fear? Oh, spiders. Is that a crypto currency I don't know about yet? As for me, the biggest problem for crypto is regulation. So, now we have to like building the structure for obtaining different licenses in different countries. So, we update for licenses in Dubai, in Estonia, and also we are gonna apply in Switzerland. So, it's really hard to negotiate every day the new news regarding regulation, so. So, talk about where the exchange will be. You mentioned Dubai. Do you gonna have in one nation or you're gonna have multiple countries participating? How does it work? Does everyone have to participate? Oh, you know, in case of that, in Dubai, there is no like legal structure for example, bank licenses and crypto. So, we're gonna obtain bank licenses and crypto in Switzerland. In Dubai, we obtain for license trade and crypto into commodities because Dubai, they're focused on commodities base. And in Estonia, they received payment system license and brokerage license. So, one of the big news last this week is Coinbase, one of the most popular exchanges had done a deal with the UK government. I don't know if you saw that, the Financial Conduct Authority, the FCA, just now gave them a license to, for their fast payment service to Fiat. So, a new government move, really interesting. Yeah, that's good. Are the governments that you're talking to thinking the same way? Yeah, we talked to Central Bank of Dubai. They also gonna legalize all the crypto and involve the blockchain and cryptocurrency companies to set up in their legal structure in Dubai. The same with Estonia also. So, everybody wanna be like the crypto valley, you know. The crypto wall street. Yeah, crypto wall street. I know every country wants to do it. Puerto Rico, Armenia, Bahrain wants to get out of the action. Yeah, the same with Russia. We are members of Russian Blockchain Association and we are working on laws for Russian government regarding crypto and it's gonna be pretty good regulation and will pop up public in this summer, like July. So, I hope that it works. Olga, talk about the entrepreneurial landscape in Russia right now. How vibrant is it? Obviously, we know they have technology savvy. About me. And Russia in general. And Russia in general. Russia in Moscow and the young kids. Yeah, a lot of good blockchain developers. Vitalik is Russian, you know. Yeah. I interviewed his mom, by the way. Yeah, our developers are based in Moscow. That's why I'm also based in Moscow. And everybody like, you know, crazy about crypto in Moscow because I think we have a lot of good tech background in Russia so why not use it for blockchain expansion? Yeah, great Russian expertise. You know, a lot of Russian developers are good. But also, you know, Estonia is a great developers too. All over the world. Why? The global revolution. Russia has a best in blockchain. Vitalik is Russian, so it makes a lot of sense. Well, we'll get him on the queue, we'll grill him. What do you hope to do in the next? What's next for you? We're going to be public in June. Now, we already developed our exchanges full of test net and security check. After that, we're going to build our artificial investment mechanism. So we need like one year and a half for educated. And our next step, we are thinking about tokenization real assets also. Because we already have all these elements which is necessary for tokenization in our co-partners technology in NEM. So I think that we will move in this area also. What is the main thing that you're going to use in your exchange that's going to make you different? What's different about your exchange? We have a lot of expertise from different traders around the world and all of them are claiming about the unstable APIs of exchange. And we are focused on high scalability and like best technologies in API building of exchange because we need a lot of traders on the platform. We are developing the APIs for follow trade. So it's like our best feature, I guess. What kind of partnerships are you looking to do with other people? We are looking for traders, of course, because we need them to bring our platform, to bring liquidity to the platform. We are looking for companies which are going to list on our exchange. Looking for investors also. Great, yeah. Olga, what do you think about this conference here? Oh, it's pretty amazing. Our first time in Puerto Rico, I was really surprised. It's amazing country, amazing island, and a lot of good connections. So I'm happy to be here. That's a global landscape right now. Yeah, right. It's global, peer-to-peer economy. Well, Olga, thank you for coming on, sharing theCUBE. And we learned something today. You don't like spiders. All right. Thank you for inviting me. You're afraid of spiders. Thank you very much. Thank you. All right, more CUBE coverage here in Puerto Rico. I'm John Furrier, the host of theCUBE. Extracting the signal from the noise here in Puerto Rico is theCUBE's extending coverage, continuing coverage of the blockchain, cryptocurrency, and the decentralized application revolution. We'll be right back after this short break.
