In this video we are going to talk about another Robotics type penny stock, which I think could 20x, I did talk about one a few days ago, and it's already up massively, this is another Robotics penny stock, by the way it's not comparable they're all in different industries and doing different things right? But this is another penny stock which I think could be really good and we'll go through this I think it could 20x. I'll go through the information, the research that I've got, but I've got to say I'm not a financial advisor, I'm a business teacher in my daily life but I'm by no means an expert on the stock market. I'll get right into the information to respect your time so if you appreciate that direct approach then do leave the video alike it much appreciated it reaches to the youtube algorithm and all that good stuff so let's go right into the information. So the stock that I've got for you today and what we'll be talking about why I think it's got potential is called artificial intelligence technology ticker symbol a i t x okay and who are they who are they so they are driven by passion for artificial intelligence and what what they've got is robotics assistance devices which mission is to deliver artificial intelligence based solutions that empower organization to solve complex challenges whilst delivering immediate return on investment our company was founded on the belief of the next generation solutions that can help organizations streamline operations increase return on investment what does that mean trying to find solutions that can actually cut costs and strengthen businesses our ad technology improves the simplicity of economics of patrolling and guard services and allows experience for the personnel to focus on more strategic tasks customers augment the capability of existing staffs and gain higher level of situational awareness all that drastically reduced cost so this all sounds very interesting it's got an interesting mission I think that the any any products that is going to help a company become more efficient is is a product that could do really well and I think this is one of them okay so some of the products that they've got here they've got a range of products here they've got two here and I've got I've got a couple more that I'll mention in a moment the first one is called Rosa which is a responsive observation security agent and it's the world's first self-contained security and communication solutions from robotic assistance devices so it's a security solution it's a robotic and you've got this one called Scott here who's a security control observation tower and it's a standalone remote portable self-sufficient intelligence observation tower designed to expand and organization security reach instantly so very interesting here that they've got the these robotic solutions particularly in the security industry before I move on to some of the other products that they've got I just got to say thank you for all the support on the channel we've grown like 500 subscribers almost in the space of like 30 hours or something so that is fantastic I would say I was like can we reach 5000 by the end of January you know it looks like we might reach it by the end of you know this coming week okay so thank you for everybody who's subscribed continue to subscribe I really do appreciate it and also continue to like the video so it gets up into the YouTube algorithm I really do appreciate the channels blowing up so thank you moving back on to the moving back on to this and we've got Romeo okay so what's that and this one seems quite interesting this particular one Romeo which is a rugged observation assistance mobile electronic officer it's suitable to patrol on any typical service including uneven cracked asphalt concrete crush rocks of up to 10 inch in diameter grass dirt and snow so this is a robot that can be used in any terrain or most terrains and then you've got it's an advanced technology that will be rolled out throughout the year and phase one customers will receive special customer software development so this has got software inbuilt within the actual robot it's an interesting one again it could be used in security areas it could be used to patrol different other areas very interesting the next one we got is called Wally which is a wall mounted version of scott so this creates more accessibility with this one this robot this wall mounted unit seamlessly integrates with all of our rad devices and provides edge to edge 180 degrees field of vision as each to install a scale of rad software okay so that's another one and the last one is Eva which is an auto autonomous verified access so it takes full advantage of the RAD software suite aimed at providing a comprehensive access control package that's ideal for corporate campuses campuses parking structures and exterior areas so this seems like a really good product this this one I think this one could go very much more mainstream some of these other products can be used in certain particular situations but this one is something that can be used in any sort of college campus or any sort of corporate campus as well so there's a range of products here okay also one thing to notice that was very interesting that's recently come out is that they've announced the previously anticipated large order is in hand so they've got orders coming in they you know they are a fairly new to the scene company in terms of of the need to get orders coming in in that sense here but they are starting to do that okay and it says it's today announced it's holy orders subsidiary rope RAD has received a previously anticipated order of five units RAD solution this order was received via one of RAD significant North American dealers so they've actually made sure that they are starting to get contracts now obviously we need to they need to expand that from five of them to much more here but some other interesting news as well is is this some other interesting news is the fact that artificial intelligence technology solutions robotic assistance services devices announces dealer agreement with pro toss security so remember i said a lot of those products that they've got there can be used in the security industry and what they're starting to do now is to build contracts with security providers right because they can then reach direct to the market and to the to the people they want to reach so it's today announced that it's holy subsidiary has signed proto security as a dealer for the entire suite of RAD products proto security is a leader nationwide security guard management specializing in putting retail and commercial clients back in control of their security guard program so this company this deal is massive this is going to hopefully drive revenue in the future future forecast future growth and what they said about this what did they say so it says this what the tweet was so it's exhilarating when you consider the wide range of opportunities that proto's and RAD can now deliver to end users proto's has built a modern approach to providing security services that is well aligned with RAD's innovation hardware and software and i just thought it'd be interesting to notice what is the team like that's behind this because it's a very innovative technological product right so what is the team like behind it so they've got dedicated services which is 24 seven support service for the facilities for the products right they've got an experience team you can trust that our highly dedicated support professionals will be there to help you every step of the way so they've got experience they've got dedication and then they've also got technology leaders and it's built by a team of security very important and robotics technology leaders with more than 100 years combined industry experience so the combining expertise in security with the robotics side and tech side of the experience as well so they're getting people in from the industry that they're trying to primarily sell into as well as you know the robot tech and people that have got a lot of experience so some of the benefits of the company is that it's got a wide product portfolio right there's a lot of products there that can be used particularly in the security industry but i'm sure that they can be used in other industries as well but they've got a wide product portfolio what does that mean well it means that if they can sell one of their products to you know a contractor to a business to to a to a corporate campus whatever it is if they're able to sell one of their products then maybe they can sell some of their other selection of products to that so it's good that they've got a wide product portfolio as well and say for example maybe one of the products doesn't be it isn't successful as we you know you hope it to be then at least have got a range of other products as well so the fact they've got a wide product portfolio is a good benefit it's good positive it's got a product with a need right it's solving a need it's actually a product that can be used and solve a need and also i would say maybe there's high barriers to entry right because to build these robotic solutions it does require a lot of research and development and a lot of expertise so for other competitors to come into the marketplace to compete with them there is a bit more of a high barrier to entry not to say that it can't be done but you know that's sometimes a good thing as well the fact that maybe there is a bit less competition in this particular industry compared to say i don't know like an e-commerce store selling clothes right there's a lot of competition in that area with this particular one there's less competition which means high profitability potential okay because there's no race to the bottom on price okay so so some benefits there and the price is sat at 0.024 so this is a penny stock a micro penny stock if you like and what i would say is it doesn't have as much revenue at the minute that's why it's so cheap at the minute but what i would say is they've got a good product line which you could see in a future potentially getting revenue so this is more of a high risk penny stock because it's a micro penny stock so 0.024 but i do think it's got a lot of potential i mean if you look at the expertise leadership the product portfolio what they're trying to do their strategic direction i think there's a lot of good things about the company right now what i would say is it did actually pop up here a lot so what i would say is if you can get this anywhere below 0.0200 i think that's a buying opportunity but i would hold this medium term right and look for a a long you know a run up in the medium term look for a run up in the medium term this is volatile this is going to go up and down more than most stocks right so you buy an increments i would say so buy a bit each week and then see how it goes really i think that it's just got a lot of potential if you look at the fundamentals of the products and what they're trying to do there and the building up contracts so i think maybe it's something to consider so thanks for watching the video if you enjoyed this if it was any useful in anywhere then do leave the video a like it's much appreciated it gets it right up into that youtube algorithm and everybody thank you for watching and have a lovely day


Hi everyone, Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com coming at you with a 10 box break of 2020-2021 Panini Donneress Optic Basketball Hybrid Edition. This is Pick Your Team 2. No vet commonship. You've got a chance to Super Bowl Squares. That Super Bowl Square promo is back. Check out the details, jaskiescasebreaks.com. So here on a Friday, back to normal schedule. You won't see me next Friday, I don't think. I'll be back to my normal Sunday through Thursday schedule. But thanks for spending a bit of your Friday night with me, I appreciate it. Let's put that there and good luck. Anthony Edwards, Lamello Ball, among others are your main, say your main rated rookies. Those gold, so the red and blue pulsars, which you can see a lot of right there, are not numbered but what we're looking for, the gold ones which are numbered and they're numbered a 10. And then the occasional autograph. Precious Achua, Desmond Bain, some solid rookies there. Grizzlies, that'll be for Francis. The Heat, that'll be for Tyler. And the Latouros, Kevin Durant, Stargazing. Cole Anthony, that's a pretty solid RJ Hampton and Zeke Najee. Let's see a little bit of gold peaking right there. And behind Hachimura Hollow is a rated rookie gold pulsar, two out of ten, Onyeka Okongu. Kevin, in Atlanta. Nice. I'm not sure how he's doing this season but I feel like he's always had some upside. I think he played against my Lakers. He did 26 minutes, 11 points. Perfect from the field, one for one from three, four rebounds assist, a couple steals and a block. It's probably averaging what, 20, 25 minutes a game or so around those numbers so that's pretty solid. Still some future upside here. I think he played with Londo and Lamello, right? Chino Hills High School? Yeah, four-year starter. That'll be top and rated rookie for New York, that's for Ben. A nice Emanuel quickly rated rookie Hollow. He'll also go to Ben and Nix, nice. Justin Thomas, minus nine, is he back? I feel like he dealt with some injuries last year but looking good, nine under. The AT&T Pebble Beach Pro Ams. Although not a lot of Ams this year. This is a signature event. So there's no cut and I think it's far fewer players, like half the field. Bigger purse. There's a tire he said, ooh. And 7,500 points, wow. That's a lot. That'll be randomized to one person. You know how we'll do this? We'll actually do the Super Bowl Square, spot one and two, spot three. We'll get the points. We'll do it that way. Next box. Let's go with another box. Looks nice in Pebble Beach. Although it's, I think, another storm, a rainy storm system coming through California. In like another day or two, we had some rain recently. I think we have a couple of days off and then some more rain. A couple of days off, more rain. Throughout through earlier this week, I want to say. Another Tyrese Halliburton for Sacramento, that's for Tristan, Sacramento edition. Right, halfway through this half case break. Another box. No any of the Edwards or Lamello yet, right? Yeah, we can find some, at least some base cards of theirs, but parallels would be nice too. There's an Obie Top in the Rookie's Red Pulsar. It's for the Knicks, that'll be for Ben. Those are Jaden McDaniels. And there's a Lamello ball, there he is. That'll be for Josh and Charlotte. Another box. What's that? Yes. Yes, it does. There's an Anthony Edwards, there we go. Now let's start looking for some parallels. Matt with Minnesota. And there we go. Nice blue pulsar, Anthony Edwards. There you go. Nice. I'm going to look this up. No, I'm just curious. He's having a nice season this year. Anthony Edwards, rated rookie blue pulsar. On January 27th of this year, one of these, someone did a buy it now, 120 bucks. Not bad. Just raw, not even graded. All right, a few more boxes to go. Maybe if that Anthony Edwards grades out nicely, it could be a lot more. Does Dejuntemuri get traded to the Lakers? Or what moves are the Lakers going to make? If any. And we got some gold. We got a Joshua Kogye. Three out of 10 gold pulsar. For Matt and Minnesota. Nice. Another Anthony Edwards. Rated rookie base. There's a Nokongu. Rated rookie hollow for Kevin and the Lana Hawks. All right, final box. I see some gold here, so that's good. And it is Nikola Jokic. Gold? No, maybe not. Maybe this is just red gold. I was hoping that would be out of 10. I'll still go to Denver. I'm going to be for Tristan. All right, and that is that. Thanks, everyone. Now let's give away those Super Bowl squares. So let's flip back to the list. Let's gather everybody's names one through 30. New dice, new list. So the top three will get squares. The fourth name down will get those points. 7,500 points. And that's after nine. Good luck. Five out of four. Nine times. One, two, three, four. Five, six, seven, eight. And ninth and final time. So from five on down. Sorry, Matt. Very close. Five through 30. Thank you. Thanks for trying. Plenty of opportunities for squares. So keep chasing. Spot four, you're going to get those points. Francis with 7,500 points. Next three, you're in the promo. Eric, Tristan and Tyler. Congrats to you. We'll see you in the Super Bowl squares promo randomizer once we get all that, all those entries filled up. And then you'll see what number you get, blah, blah, blah, blah. Details on the website, jaspyscasebreaks.com. I'm Joe. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.


The Acting Inspector General of Police, IGP Usman Baba, has formally been introduced to President Mohammad Buhari at the President's of Villa Abuja. He was introduced to the President by the Minister of Police Affairs, Meghari Danyadi. I formally present the acting IGP to Mr. President. He was not decorated in the absence of Mr. President and we thought we should formally come to meet Mr. President to tell him that he has formally taken over and to seek for his fatherly advice as to the way forward. What we are having at the moment is a very serious challenge and I want to assure Nigerians that with the new setup that we have now on the ground we will make sure that we improve the situation to the best of our ability so that Nigerians will see the changes that are already on the ground. Taken about a very crucial time and I am fully aware of the situation in the country and I am introducing what I feel will mitigate these security challenges in the country and I have started implementing them and I'm ready to come and bring the President so that we can get all the support that is necessary.

Hi everyone, happy Thursday. I'm Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com coming at you with a little footy little prism English Premier League Soccer cereal box edition Right, so the cereal box are kind of like blaster boxes, but with just the different Pulsar Pulsar inserts there Parallels which I think are exclusive to the to this set right here. There are all the teams right there a couple combos big thanks to this group of people and And there are the teams. Let's roll it and randomize it one and a three four times for each list one two three and four So Scott down a Chad and then four times for the teams one two three and No one it's Tottenham down to Wolverhampton. They must have usually the paste button is right here Just go right over, but now it's one at one slot lower. I don't know why that We need this to be lower No, that's still down there. I don't know. I feel like Google Sheets move that just ever so slightly Jams me up every time now anyway Tottenham down to Wolves Let's make this a little bit larger so everyone can see All right, Scott with Tottenham Craig with Crystal Palace and Leeds United Matthew Shearer with Everton Jens with Fulham James with Southampton Matthew with Manchester United Gary with Chelsea Scott with Aston Villa Chad with Burnley Scott with Brighton of Albion Yeah, Vic. I know what hotkeys are Or Evan sorry everyone's trying to tell me about controls a control V Sheffield United West Brom Albion Manchester City Martin with you can see the rest Carlos man you men United West Ham United The end of Liverpool Benwood Lester Martin with Newcastle Chad with Wolves Thanks, Evan. Let's sort this by column B It's just that when you're doing a ton of these That one click and sliding right over is just that much faster than reaching for the keyboard and hitting control V But you know when you've been doing this for seven years, right and the spreadsheet has acted a certain way Kind of get used to it. I used to be I'll just go right over now. It's kind of an in-between position, right? Anyone trading I like how you thought you were Telling me for the first time what controls seeing control V is. All right. No one's trading, right? Right exactly Evan it there. There's there's muscle memory involved there. So so that's why It's a little awkward I'll get used to it though.  All right, Brian Hey, so what's going on? All right, so let's flip over here So did I update this guy update the schedule? So now so right now we're doing Prism EPL soccer that should take me about what time is it that time? Let's say around This time we'll get to black gold NFL number two It's gonna be a pretty short break and then TBD. So if you're clicking the schedule, I think I just updated it So there's the final printout hot off the presses So what you saw on the previous screen exactly the same there were no deals done 2345 so 10 One pack per box 25 cards in here. Good luck looking for the big names for the big teams and They're and they're parallels as well all card ship obviously a lot of value in all this stuff Even in the non rookies like Bruno Fernandez great pickup by Manchester United So that'll go to Matthew Shearer But when you get these especially if you're not super familiar with Soccer it's probably worth looking up almost every one of these cards seeing if they have any Any value on the secondary market, you know, especially if they're rookies Especially if they're parallels to There's Mason Mount for Chelsea Gary and that one Chelsea man city in the In the Champions League final and all English final It's Fernadinho for man city Blue Paul Sar Giovanni Lo Salso Tottenham So Fernadinho goes to Matthew Shearer Scott has Tottenham and there's a Tariq Lampdied Brighton and Hove Albion that'll be for Scott Next box. Yeah, the Paul Sars the Paul Sars. I think are definitely one of the One of the better-looking parallels Out there There's Jordan Nayu And there are our oh we got our first pink. I don't think I've seen a lot of the pink ones Alex McCarthy for Southampton James We got the Aaron Ransdale for Sheffield Sheffield United that'll be for Vic and the Sheffield West Brom combo And there's Billy Sharpe also for the Blades that'll be for Vic. So I remember all the fallout from the European Super League I guess there's talk about having those teams Lose Champions League for a couple years That might be I Mean it would hurt all the big clubs might hurt the competition, but Maybe we in the future that'll help avoid any European Super League silliness There's Mason Greenwood for men United Matthew Sheerah. There's Declan Rice for Westham United It'll be Carlos with the Hammers. There's Johnny Evans Lester City Benjamin Butler There's Eves of the Summa Brighton and Hove Albion They can't be kicked out of the Champions League when they ain't qualified. What are you talking about mix up? Manchester City Man United Chelsea, I guess Chelsea hasn't qualified Liverpool hasn't either but But those are those are clubs that are perennially in the in the Champions League for the most part Losing man City man United at the very least out of there Plus the clubs, you know, possibly Real Madrid Barcelona We have the Italian teams that were part of the original European Super League that'd be a big that'd be a big bit of punishment For that competition There's Toby Alder while Toby Alder Wilde Well, if they if they win Champions League Chelsea is gonna qualify next year Maybe Spurs, maybe not. There's DiMbele Speaking of Tottenham that goes to Scott There's Eves of the Summa Brighton and Hove Albion for Scott But I mean that might be what's necessary to to prevent All this wacky European Super League talk if you way if a late lays down that hammer mmm No, I get what you were saying. I think especially Spurs who have players like like this guy They should be they should be getting into the Champions League, but on paper. They've got a pretty good team There's Mattis Pereira for West Brom Revic Got Maddie Cash for Aston Villa Courtney house Also for Aston Villa both of those going to Scott and Trent Alexander-Arnold Red Pulsar. I feel like we've been seeing more pink Pulsars out of here than at least I saw and then the 10 bucks I did yesterday. All right next one Yeah, I mean in the end of the day that's you have you if was threatening that but yeah At the end of the day will they actually have the guts to do it? Yeah, I don't know if those You guys are trying to get the Champions League finals to move to England as Turkey's in the lockdown But they refused and the fans are trying to get the yeah I don't think any of those owners are anything the glazers are going to give up Their ownership probably not. I mean I Suppose the only thing that could really So there's Marcus Raster for man United Matthew Shearer curse Jones is pretty nice good future a star for the Liverpool going to Jens I mean if If if supporters literally stopped going to matches Which I guess might happen the following year, but I don't know the owners ownership will probably like is for the glazers for example It's Tyreek Mitchell for Crystal Palace I mean, I don't think I don't think they're gonna sell all right Oliver Norwood, they'll just spend a bunch of money on a transfer and try to get supporters back into the back into seats It's Chris Wood for Burnley Chad, I mean, I think you'd have to take supporters actually not showing up You know when everything's wide open in England, you know pandemic wise all the restrictions are lifted and if there's only like 5,000 supporters in the stands after that, you know or just have 50,000 people not in the stands but outside of the stands Outside of the grounds and protesting that might be that might do it just the loss of Gate revenue might do it No, I agree. I have a lot of I have a lot of Manchester United friends and Americans too and they were they were not happy with with the glazers just going in and not really Doing anything to improve the infrastructure of the team and now now they're facing it You think that 50 plus one rule. I like that rule. I think that's I think Germany maybe some other countries to have have that 50 plus one rule in effect, but but is that really gonna happen with the With the way With the way English clubs have gotten so comfortable with how the ownership system has been set up. I Feel like it's too late. It's Ryan Fredericks right there for Westham United as well There's Issa D'Op silver. We got Bernard for Everton. That'll be for Matthew Pascal Gross For a Brighton and Hove Albion That's how that Be is pronounced Ruben Neves Yeah, it's being openly discussed in the UK Parliament it's been one of the few things United the country behind a common goal I know just tells you what a what a group of citizens can do For change. I hope it happens the 50 plus one rule I think really because I think I think it's hard to describe how much of a to I guess Americans like ourselves. It's difficult to explain why that ownership matters so much because I think the easiest way I can put it is like is Like soccer clubs in England and in Europe are considered are considered more civic institutions like a library Rather than just a professional sports team that can just be Bought and sold and moved here and there and everywhere wherever they want to you know It's more of a civic institution You know like a museum or a library Sergio Aguero for Man City Matthew Shira. It's almost like collegiate sports more in a way This Huyberg for Tottenham Yeah Yeah, I don't think Bronke's a very popular owner in In North London as well He might know he might not be very popular in Southern California Or in St. Louis. All right, the last bit here. There's Heller Costa for Leeds United that'll be for Craig There's John Joe Shelby. That's a former Liverpool man right here new Castle Martin With that, there's a hilarious video if you look up John Joe Shelby and maybe Voldemort might be a fun video. There's Jamie Shackleton Leeds United Craig What's the name of the big names you had Hakeem Azayek for Chelsea Gary right here. So maybe the last 10 boxes. We'll see some more We'll see some more action. I was hoping for some parallels of the bigger names like Bukayo Saka or Polisic or something like that, but hey, we've got 10 more boxes here Maybe we can make that happen next time on Jasper's case breaks.com. I'm Joe. Talk to you later. Bye. Bye

And you can follow myself at Zaman Dunwar underscore K on Instagram and on Twitter, always talking everything property. Now, you know, this evening's conversation is one that absolutely fascinates me. I was we're already having the pre the interview before the interview with my guest of air, and that's how you know it's good. I think a part of me wanted our conversation to continue of air. But I thought, you know what, let's let's let's make sure we make this circle bigger and certainly, of course, invite you at home as we talk about something that we don't speak a lot about on this show. And I think this is also one of the reasons I'm so excited about it this evening. We'll talk about the RDP resale market. And I'm joined this evening by Chris here. Russ is an executive director at the Center for Affordable Housing. Chris, good evening and thank you so much for joining us on the show. Thanks so much for having me. It's lovely to be here. You know, because it's only a pleasure to have you on the show. I think before we even look at the resale, the RDP resale market and looking at, you know, how the market in its entirety looks like. I think first, let's start with the Center for Affordable Housing. What is the center? What work does the center do? I'm not saying to you off air that we haven't had somebody from your team and really wanted to give our viewers a good sense of the incredible work that the center does before we tackle this topic this evening. Super, thanks. We're a policy think tank and NGO that supports investment in affordable housing. We're supported by a number of funders and our work covers the whole continent. We look at we undertake research. We collect data and undertake market analytics on that data to support the investment in our argument for affordable housing. In doing that, we we we work with investors. We work with policymakers. We work with financiers with developers all to identify what is the particular niche in a particular country? The we started in South Africa and we live here. So so our greatest depth is in this country. And here we've been working for, oh, gosh, for I mean, the center was founded in 2014. But prior to that, we've been working since since early 2000s, focusing on South Africa's residential property market with a specific focus on the affordable market and on low income households and their ability to access housing within the South African housing environment. I'm really seeing some of the love that we're getting on our social media pages, especially Facebook. I know that a lot of you who weren't able to access us on Facebook two days ago, absolutely love that. We're back on pulling on courses, watching a full of fellow hope who's also watching Sandy Stemett sending through those green hearts. You know, Chris, so I think one of the things that I'm keen for us to explore and, you know, as a center, especially as you say, you're not only based or you don't only do research in South Africa when you look at your investment in affordable housing, perhaps can you give us a sense of what the market is like when you look at affordable housing in South Africa? Because I think more often than not, this is that sphere that gets spoken about and some people have all kinds of assumption when it comes to that particular market segment. And some of the assumptions are unfortunately very off. And some of it is great. And it's just always contested ideas when it comes to the affordable housing space in South Africa. On the one hand, we can have policy that says X, Y, Z, and we'll talk a bit about that later on. And different people have various sentiments around it. When you look at sort of at a high level, the state of the affordable housing market in South Africa, can you give us some insights on what we're looking at the size and when you were sharing earlier, even the size. I was I didn't realize that that was the scale that we're at. Perhaps to share with us some insights when we talk affordable housing in South Africa. Sure. I mean, I think the essence of your show is that the property market in South Africa is huge and it's important. It's a fundamental part of our economy. It's it's a critical part of most households balance sheets. Those who do own property, it's a significant part part of their own on livelihood strategies and so on. So if we look at the whole deeds registry in the country, there's six point six million residential properties in South Africa. Six point six million. And we like to segment that data of the number of the number of properties on the deeds registry in terms of value bands that really emphasize the bottom end. So we split that up into five different categories. We talk first about the entry market, which is properties that are worth less than 300,000 rand. And normally when you look in the newspaper, you're not going to find many of those and they're not often talked about. But that is significant. That's 33 percent of our of all residential properties in South Africa are worth less than 300,000 rand. The next category, the second category, is the affordable market. And that's properties worth between 300,000 rand and 600,000 rand. And at the end of 2019, there were 22 percent of all residential properties in the country were in that band. So that means that we've got 55 percent of all properties of all residential properties in the country that are costing less than 600,000 rand. The reason you don't see them is because they don't trade. They trade much slower than the higher value properties. So that's why you would see more about the higher value. The third band is the conventional market, so called conventional market properties worth between 600,000 rand and 900,000 rand. And that's about 15 percent of all properties, residential properties in the country. Then the fourth category, we call the high end market. And that's properties worth between 900,000 rand and 1.2 million rand. And that's about 9 percent of all properties. And then what we call the luxury market is properties worth over 1.2 million rand and mostly I'm sure the conversation focuses on that segment of the market and that's just a fifth of all properties in the country. Twenty percent of all residential properties in the country are worth more than 1.2 million rand. So when we segment it that way, we really want to understand what's happening at the bottom end where low income people would be able to afford. You would know that since 1994, we've had a national housing subsidy scheme and it's delivered upwards of about four million properties or so. RDP properties are part of the reconstruction and development program. And then later, the breaking new ground policy, they were called BNG houses. So the state has delivered somewhere like four million. Now, that's a huge number of those two million are on our National Deeds Registry are formally registered on the Deeds Registry. So that is 30 percent of all residential properties in the country were financed by the state and given away to their current owners for free. So that's a massive transfer from the government to low income households. Of those about a million are in the major metros, so they're in cities that are functioning where there's a lot of property transactions and that's a really significant asset base for the households themselves and then also for the cities of which they're operating because that this is stock that has been built and delivered over the past what, 20, 26 years or so. As you were sort of breaking down that market segment, you're correct that they oftentimes, especially in the big metros, when we talk about and even in mainstream media, when we talk about property and property transactions, we do tend to focus a lot on certain segments. And I mean, we even see this in the data, right, in terms of which properties were traded and what was the value of those properties. And as you rightfully point out, we look at properties below that 300K mark, you tend to just typically not see a lot of activity at all. I mean, in that segment across different metros. So the point where you when you go, when people go on a private property, let's see, even do a scaling of from lowest to highest, you're really going to be finding a property that's listed with that amount. And sometimes when it is, you sort of question, I mean, if you see a house, let's say in the township or you see an RDP house in particular in the township that is being listed, suppose, for instance, for 180,000, a part of you thinks this low suspect, you know, how could that possibly be? And I'm keen to hear then from you what what you've been seeing in terms of the research and the data that you've got when we then look at the RDP resale market, because I think it's one of those spaces that has been very contentious. And I say contentious because we know what on the one hand, what the policy says when it comes to RDP houses, at which point you take ownership of it, at which point you are able to, for instance, rate it out to somebody. And when you answer that, we could start with the policy itself and it's shortcomings when we look at what people can or cannot do, what it says people can or cannot do with the property once it's sort of being handed over to them and then give us some insight on how the RDP resale market in South Africa is currently looking at. Cool. Sure. So in terms of the national subsidy policy, government was building all of and has been building all of these houses over the last 20 years. And then the the the Housing Act has a clause section 10 in it, which is known as the preemptive clause. And what that says is that a household who is a beneficiary of a government subsidized house is not allowed to sell that house for the first eight years, sell or otherwise alienate. The reason for that when that policy was originally put in place was it was felt that people who would be given these houses, given them for free, might be inclined to quickly flip them for cash. And there was a fear that they would do that and then move back into an informal settlement and then government would be forever building houses and they would never be done with it. It was felt to that if there was poor market information, and this is a really critical thing, because at the time when that was developed, there was poor market information that people wouldn't know what their houses were worth. And so maybe they would flip those houses for way less than it even cost to build them. And there have been lots of stories about that. You've seen that in the press. People talk about it and everyone gets worried. What if somebody sells their house for like 20,000 rand? It's true. People did do that once. I can't tell you how many because must of that was informal and so it wasn't documented, but it did it did happen. However, what we can see is of the formal transactions that do happen on the deeds registry, the prices are in a fairly competitive space. And the average transaction price when we look at all of the transactions that have happened is about 228,000 rand is the is the average value of an RDP house across the whole deeds registry, 228,000. Obviously, it would be higher in some in some metros and much lower in other areas because it relates to the property market itself. But an area, for example, like Kailicha in Cape Town, has been one of the fastest appreciating neighborhoods in in the city for for for some time. And that's partly because it's coming off of a low base, but also because those property values are growing. They're growing because people have been in the properties and investing in them themselves, but also the city has been investing in the roads and the sewerage and the transport links and then maybe a shopping mall gets developed or something else. So over time, properties do appreciate and they've been improving in value. We do find that there's still a lot of inclination to sell properties informally and in some cases that's people trying to escape the preemptive clause. So the way the policy works is if you want to sell your house within the eight years, you have to offer it first back to the state. The downside with that is the state doesn't often have someone to receive your offer. They just don't have an official who can do that in some provinces can. And you can apply, for example, in the Western Cape, you can apply for a waiver and there's a process that you go through and they process that in other provinces. There's nobody to talk to. And so person stuck, then there's there's a whole lot of media that says, no, you're not allowed to sell it and it's illegal. And so they just, you know, will sell it informally. That's a really bad idea, actually, because we've seen that there are cases where somebody sells it informally 10 years down the line, the seller comes back and says, well, you know, my name's still on the title deed. It's not a proper sale if you don't sell it formally and have it actually transferred within the within the deeds registry. So that's that that is a huge problem. However, there are households and properties that are selling informally. Some of them even with mortgage finance and lenders are becoming increasingly interested in supporting this segment of the market. They see it as the first run of a property ladder. And so you can imagine what what I get, really some I might be like running ahead. I'm sorry. But no, please. I mean, I think of anything and I'm even seeing the views at home. Oftentimes, as I was saying to you, even of air, when we talk about when we talk about affordable housing, and we have all kinds of of our own, I think, notions and assumptions that sometimes, unfortunately, isn't backed with actual data and what we are seeing. And so even as you were talking about having a property, obviously being if you want to sell it within the period, as far as the policies concern, for instance, you actually supposed to first give it to the state, one of the things I would have wanted to even find out what percentage, if at all, do you see of households where they want to sell within that eight year period and know that they will say shouldn't be selling and instead do opt to rather try to hand it back to the state. I mean, is that something that we've even seen? Or it's just one of those things that it's a policy. It's there. It reads beautifully, but we're not seeing that happening. Because as you're saying, we see a lot of sales and traction actions in RTP houses, even one of our viewers, Linda Cicciabella, on our Facebook page say we've seen a lot of people wanting to sell their RTPs to an extent that they don't involve agents. And so some of them want to DIY it as much as they can and don't use an agent and really even keen on how they end up doing it, especially when you say that there are instances where informal sale is happening and there's even finance from financiers that comes on board that just from a sort of high level, how do we see that thing? I mean, I know that we could probably get very granular and that's not the purpose for this conversation, but I'm sure people at home have this perception that usually when you want to buy an RTP house, especially when it's still within that eight year period, if you're going to do it, you're buying cash and sometimes even when it's post that eight year period and you know, this is the rightful seller, people are still like doing it. Cash is pretty much and you're shaking your head when I let you come in and because we also know the horror stories where people have had, whether it's 120,000 rents cash, you have mothers or fathers cashing in their pension and saying this is going to be home for my family and those stories unfortunately don't end with a family having a home for themselves. So perhaps just take us through a bit of that because I can already see that even our viewers at home probably want to be able to connect some of those dots. Yeah, so let me first tell you quickly about this transaction support center that we work with. It's an advice office that's operating currently virtually was originally based in Kailicha and we have a Facebook page, the Transaction Support Center and that really is established to assist households in making their decisions around how to enter into a transaction, whether they're the buyer or the seller and to really support the need to do it formally, you have to do it formally. And I hope you will you will interview the people from the Transaction Support Center because they deal with clients every day and they see some of the horror stories. They also see some of the success stories and there are some. So it is a process that can be mediated and managed. Within the eight year resale restriction, I can't tell you how many people actually apply for the waiver. That data isn't collected by anybody and it would be so good to know. I don't even know if the phone gets answered when somebody tries it. I know in Cape Town it does in the Western Cape because they focused on that. But I'm not I'm not aware of it in other provinces. And then if people sell informally, they really put themselves at risk. Well, if they buy informally, they're especially at risk. It's for the buyer. It's that that's where the problem is. But for the seller, actually, there's a real reason to sell. And we've we've looked at the data. So this data that I've been quoting to you, we buy that data from Lightstone. And then we analyze it specifically for this market. And what we did was we selected all of the properties that that we identified as having been government subsidized properties. And we compared those that sold with a mortgage to those that sold without a mortgage. So these are all formal transactions recorded on the Deeds Registry. Well, in 2019, there were 30,221 sales of RDP units formally without a mortgage. And the average sale price was in the order of just over 100,000 rent per property. There were 3,899 properties that were RDP properties that were sold with a mortgage. And the average sale price was just under 450,000 rent. So probably the houses that were sold with a mortgage were probably better better kept up. They've probably been improved upon or invested in or so on. And they were mortgageable dwellings that the that the lender agreed that they could they could attach a mortgage to. But at the same time, because there was finance involved, the buyer could amortize that cost over a longer period of time, so they have higher affordability. Someone is buying with cash, they're taking the money from their back pocket or from a third party payout or something like that. And their affordability is constrained. The properties that trade without a mortgage, of course, they trade faster because you can do that quick and get it sorted. But I would like sellers to actually pay attention to the real opportunity here that there is a difference between selling without a mortgage and selling with a mortgage. My understanding is that when a property sells without a title deed, the value is even lower. So the value of selling a property formally with a title deed is that you get a better return. And from the buyer's perspective, because they can amortize it over time, it's actually even more affordable, even though the price is higher. We are taking your questions and comments this evening as I'm in conversation with with Kesar Rast, who's the executive director of the Center for Affordable Housing. We're looking at the RDP resale market and taking your questions and comments at home. And I see the first question is coming through from our Instagram, Kershia asking, and this one is coming from a big medicine essay saying, what's the name of the properties that are below the 300K mark? So you're doing that nice breakdown. I think it's the entry entry level entry level market. Yeah, I mean, we came up with those names, but but it's a good way of segmenting at the lower end. Normally, we say everything below a million is like that that's the affordable. Well, there's a lot of variety in that market. And you could start to imagine that somebody earning less, someone earning less than between 3,000 and like 7,000 might be able to afford a property that costs less than 300,000 rand. Well, right now today, the cheapest newly built house. We check this out every year. What is the cheapest house that's brand new on the market? Last year, November, the number was five hundred and thirty eight thousand rent was the cheapest house. So the RDP resale market is really important because it's a rung on the property ladder below that, which means lower income people can start to access it. It's also worth knowing that if you're a first time home buyer, if you've never owned a property before, you can actually access the finance linked subsidy to buy that house. And if you link that with a mortgage, then it actually becomes a it becomes a real possibility. So that is really what's so exciting. We've got, if you look at that, told you that we had two million RDP properties on the deeds registry, right? And a million of those are in the major metros of those eight hundred and fifty thousand, I'll just double check the number quickly here, eight hundred and yeah, about fifty thousand are sorry, nine hundred and five thousand. So of the million that are in the major metro, nine hundred and five thousand are older than eight years. So they're they're not within the preemptive flows, they could be sold right now. The churn rate in that market is less than one percent. If we applied, if people transacted in that market in the same way as the national average, so the national average churn rate was about just under two and a half percent or so, if you applied that just to these houses, that would be about twenty five thousand transactions every year. And I would argue that from a policy perspective, if that's happening below the cheapest house, while that creates an opportunity for purchase for a buyer to come in, it creates a deposit that the seller has to buy the next house. And having more activity, right? Because I think part of certainly from my perspective, part of my frustration when I look at the housing market and especially the lower end market is there are people who are within a certain income level who would probably be able to have means of paying for the mortgage if there was one that was available. Of course, also using making use of the flip subsidy. The reality, though, is that we're not having stock on the market that they are even able to access and access in a you're going to private property.co.za and whether it's a new development with that particular price point, for instance, and not having to wonder or stress that this is an RTP house, isn't a legal sale or whatever the case is. So we're still not adequately servicing that market and they are there. And I think one of the other big things with where we look when we look at RTP houses within the big metros in particular is you've now potentially created, we'll say potential wealth for that family because there are ways that they can also unlock some of that money, whether it is a matter of they now want to sell that property and sell it, we'll say with formerly, where they end up putting it up and the price is four hundred and eighty thousand, for instance, and there is an alternative accommodation that they're able to view and access that they want to get. And perhaps in that eight year period, some of them may have done slightly better economically, perhaps now family members are slightly older, so they're also able to help out in terms of accessing a slightly higher price property. So I think there certainly is a lack of imagination, but also just underservicing that market almost all together. And it's there. We're not servicing it as opposed to it being an instance where it doesn't exist and we can't even make a business case for it because the reality is we can make a business case for it while we're not adequately servicing that market. And that, for me, is probably the failure on all sectors and not just government because even with government and those provisions within the policy when we look at where we are in twenty twenty one, one could argue, well, we know why it was there from the beginning, but now when we look at where we're at, perhaps a policy amendment is needed, then also even from the private sector, when it comes to servicing the affordable housing market and creating we'll always say a value chain where somebody could move from the art deeply house and a different house and it's priced adequately. We're still not seeing that on the market, whereas the demand is there. Here it's a it's a matter of lack of supply, which I think is quite unfortunate, particularly in the big metals, where we also know there's only so much space we're going to have, right? It's not like in rural areas. Here there's only so much space in it. We're building for we're overbuilding for a segment that is is just thinning out more and more and more and we keep building for that segment as opposed to thinking, listen, there's a whole other segment that can be catered to where it would make business sense if we entered into that. But I'm going to work that because this is one of those topics. I'm very passionate about and it keeps me awake at night to think affordable housing is actually one of those things that keeps me awake at night. I want to read some of the quotes, some of the comments that we've got through on our Facebook page of what I'm saying, saying, again, evident people were selling from 90,000. This would be out of the houses. I know it would be tough, but selling a property is not a good idea. And I think that just speaks to sometimes you definitely don't want to be selling a house for 90,000 rounds. And this speaks to what you were saying earlier, Kisse, that when you're then doing it from an informal perspective, you find that even the pricing, you know, tends to be driven down and the person who's buying it also drives our price down, right? Because they're thinking, well, I've got 90K cash.  Therefore, I'll stand on this offer. Whereas if we're going the formal route, getting, you know, financial institutions involved, then it's a different bulking all together. We've got to put it on course in many instances. The RTP houses are abandoned by owners for many years. Palesa, Zamenilekhodi, saying this is very tricky. There's almost no way of monitoring the unlawful selling of RTP houses prior to the eight year period. And, you know, as we round up, because I can already know going to invite somebody else from the Center for Affordable Housing, when we kind of look at, I'll say the nitocrities of, you know, the sale process, what people should be looking out for, because I'm already seeing some of those questions coming out, so I promise you at home, we'll definitely have a different conversation, where we now look at, because right, this conversation, we're looking at what the sale of the market is and really getting a good sense that we haven't covered on the show. So next time we're going to be looking at the more intricate details, especially with people who deal with this on a day to day basis. When we look at, because as we wrap, when you look at the, you know, the RTP resale market, I think what would we say are some of the, what's the potential for that market? I mean, we've already started talking about it, you know, slightly about where the future potential could be, if at the very least we actually adequately catered for that market and by that market, I mean, people who would be in the market for affordable housing. What are some of the things that we can do better in order to better service that market? I mean, I think a critical issue is market information and really to recognize the potential and the opportunity. Some of the banks are really beginning to recognize that and to say that they will engage. So many people often, they don't even bother going to talk to the banks because they think the banks won't talk back to them. And that's changing. And I think people need to recognize that there are a whole lot of policy issues that need to be addressed. There are urban governance issues as well that need that need to be addressed. But I think a lot of the power is in the hands of the buyers and the sellers to say we are going to insist on a formal property transaction process. And we're going to do what it takes to achieve that. Getting to that point and recognizing that there's value in these properties. If we get to that point and people who are the two million households who have become beneficiaries and of properties that are on the deeds registry, those are real assets and even if just a small percentage of those transact, right, because not everybody is ready to do it or wants to or whatever, but just a small percent, two percent of those transact, you're going to start to see some movement in the market that will create the supplier asking for from the existing stock we already have. And that's going to target what we've been calling the gap market. People who've net they earn too much to get an RDP house, but too little to afford a new build bond house. So that's households earning between what, three and a half thousand and probably fifteen, eighteen thousand random months haven't been able to buy anything. They can now buy in this market. That then creates a seller who has a deposit to buy the next thing, which means that the developer can say, I have a wider collection of buyers who are coming to me and they can raise the finance to go and build more units. We are building far too few houses in what I sort of collectively call the working class market, properties that are worth less than six hundred thousand rand. We're not building enough, even though the state is building in the below three hundred thousand rand that three to six hundred thousand rand. There's not enough happening at all for for the size of our population and the and the profile of our population that can only be facilitated. If you have this resale market that creates entry level buyers who have equity that can then buy the next rung up. I think it's I mean, we're sitting here in a post COVID environment. We need to build the economy of this country. This is domestic growth powered from within that we could really stimulate a whole economy on the basis of this. Our state doesn't have the money to invest as certainly as much as we think is needed in terms of subsidized housing. This approach leverages the investment the state has already made and really supports households being able to improve and access the value in the assets that they have right now. So there's lots of material on our website, all of these all of the statistics we've talked about, there's reports and so on. And I'm very happy to receive emails too. But it's been really, really nice talking to you. No, because it's been an absolute pleasure talking to you. I think this is one of those issues. I am a big visitor of the website. I tend to nerd out over different reports when it comes to housing in South Africa and other emerging markets. And this is really is one of those conversations that keep me awake at night, because we are not servicing. We'll say the majority really actually of the country. And it's a ticking time bomb in so many different ways, because the reality is not everybody is going to get to the point where they're able to afford houses in the 600 or property, because we also know that more often than not, the 600 plus band, certainly in the metros, you're looking mostly at an apartment as opposed to, for example, a house. And so when we when we look at that, not every South African will necessarily get to a point where they've reached that price point. When we're looking at income levels in the country. And so it's almost as though we're also sending a message to people in certain income levels about whether they ought to be able to access home ownership or not access it. And I think in many ways it's a ticking time bomb. So thank you so much for joining us this evening. We're certainly going to have one of your colleagues to come back to us. We'll look at we'll say the integrities of resale when it comes to RTP houses and how it works. I mean, we've received some really great questions even around time frames. And when you're selling it, we're definitely going to have a follow up or certainly a continuation of this conversation as we have a better look at the RTP housing market. But Chris said, thank you so much for joining us this evening. It's been a pleasure to have you on the show. Thank you so much. I really enjoyed it. And that is Kershia Rust, who's the executive director of the Center for Affordable Housing, wrapping up the Wednesday edition of the private property podcast with myself, Osamantouma Kumalo. It has been a pleasure to be with you on the show. I'll be back on your screens tomorrow evening at 7 p.m. But you can look forward to Estie Clarkson bringing you the first time home by show at 8 p.m. Until then, hoping you stay home and stay safe.


it just looks like a swarm of bees down there. That is awesome. Welcome back to the channel Fish and Freaks. Last time I saw you, I was well here at Fun and Sun and we were getting a little sneak peek flash forward. I've already been to the Great Lakes, y'all. I'm not editing that series. It's a four-part series. You know, some of the Googes by guys, the guys that normally edit our videos, they're incredible. They're awesome. They're editing it, so I promise you it's going to be super tasty and the fishing was the best smallmouth fishing I've ever had, so it's going to be really good and other species as well. So while I was up there, Fun and Sun was getting my boat ready. The reason I'm standing over here in this little area, this is where I saw the boat the other day, but the first time I ever came up here, we were up here just kind of dreaming about getting a bass boat and at the time we had this little aluminum boat and there was this little red skater sitting in the corner and it had some rain on it and it looked a little damp, but it was a juicy jewel underneath and so that became old red as it was known. I eventually got another red boat and that's what you guys know as old red, but that was the original old red and it was a ZX195. So this is where I got my first bass boat. I've had, I think this is going to be my seventh boat, y'all. Incredibly blessed now to be a part of the fishing industry. Dabble and deep, worked with great partners, have great sponsors, great people like Fun and Sun that want to help me out and I'm excited to run some Mercury motors. I haven't had one in a while, but this one is going to be rigged up with the new ProXS. So I'm excited to have Mercury. I'm bored as a sponsor. I know some of y'all are thinking, LFG, the skater. What happened? Well, no more skaters. I've had many skaters. I have run a number of skaters and I will just tell you, I think they're good boats and they have evolved over the years. Here's the deal with skater, which many of you may not know. They're owned by Yamaha, so you will never find, almost never, you will almost never find a skater with a Mercury motor on it. If you do, that is referred to as an east Texas unicorn and they are extremely rare.  It's like a shooting star. You'll probably win your next best tournament if you see one. I'm about to walk in here and we're going to see the brand new boat and it's also got new accessories on it that I don't really know. So we're going to take it out on the water today, get her fired up and then try out the new toys. I'm very excited to try out the Panoptix. Not really try out because y'all, I just got to use it for the first time up at the Great Lakes Game Changer. So this boat has it. I can't wait to fire it up and track them down. Cole, you're the first one in the driver's seat of the Silver Bullet. I've seen you around here a bunch, dude.  So uh, you want to give me the rundown? Yeah, so this thing is a, I was at 220 Phoenix. We have the Garmin Graphs on here, front and back. We have the uh, what is it? Alice 12 inch jack plate? Yeah. Alice 12 inch jack plate. We got the hot foot down here. Also running with the Mercury Pro XS250 power pole blades on it. Nicely done. Love it, man. I hope you have some Mondos. That is right. Cole, you really know. I would say you have a future in this industry for sure. The way you just settle that by just sitting down and just spilling it. So well done, my friend. That was well put. I don't know if I need to say anything else. I'm going to get it popping. I'm going to get it popping out on the waters. Y'all, I've got the hard dose of Texas reality coming back here from fishing the Great Lakes being, you know, 55 degree mornings, 78 degree days, maybe 80, and then come back here. It's like boom, 90. It's 7 a.m. We just pulled this thing out in the sun and it's a whole different bird, if you will. It's like it just spread its wings, opened up that flat gray. This is the man that designed it, Fane. This boat, dude, you did a great job. The silver bullet, truly living up to expectations here. How's boat salesmen this year with everything? Best year we've ever had so far. Not a problem. Last month, record-breaking month for Fun and Sun last month. You just heard Fane say, record year or record month. The corona thing has just, it's got everybody fishing. Honestly, it's been great for the industry. I know it's terrible. The more people fishing, the better. You know what I'm saying? The more danglers out there, the more the more our little world of fishing just ignites, turns on. Gonna put a little fuel in there. I'm excited to hear how it sounds. 24 pitch crop, that's a lot of torque. That's a lot of getting out of the hole. And they say this thing runs like a scalded dog. Hey, howdy. It is a certified Texas steamer out here today, ladies and gentlemen. So just got the golf cart, got a bunch of the tackle in here and we're gonna start transferring over. It's time. Life jackets, all that good stuff. Can't forget that. Can't forget the jackets.  The flat gray mixed with the pinstripe black and then the silver coming through looks really cool. Obviously it matches the motor. It's just sick. Time lapse of transferring tackle and let's get this motor started and wing. Engine's dirty. Engine's dirty sounding. What did old Tim Allen used to say? Home improvement show. I grew up with Hal Louia. Thank you, Tim Allen. Go ahead and smash that like button. You know what I'm talking about right there. That just power. Feels good. So shiny. So shiny. There's something about a shiny object that sounds just mean, muscly and goes fast. The drain plugs way up underneath. I don't have the drain plug situation with the the the OS moment. Drain plug situation got manually do it. So I probably won't be taking my drain plug out nearly as much on this boat. What was that? Yeah, I got another thing. There was one other thing. To spark my memory, I'm just going to get it up on pad. I need to break in this motor. I'm really not going to idle too much though. I'm not going to fish too much. If I turn on the graph and I started looking at the pan optics, I'm going to get lost. I really need to like seal the rings on this thing, get the pistons hot, get it broken in. So just go ahead and just rip it around for a little while before I do much idling. So let's just go ahead and do that. First impressions? Yep. I like it. Just went ahead and did her. You know, I mean, if she's going to break, she's going to break on that first try, right? Not just kidding. Read your manuals, do your thing, but I just like to hit the gas hard. The organization is way better on the new Silver Bullet here. We have a sliding adjustable tray. This goes up and down. I've got it separated right now into, you know, jigs, plastics. I've got all the cranks and all that up there. You know, you got your like a mini day box in that sliding situation.  Love that aspect of it. Oh, and it also has one of these little foam dealies. That seems like a small deal, but I mean, I throw jigs and spinnerbaits a lot and they're kind of hard to store. The jigs aren't to store. It's really just a spinnerbaits, but hanging them up really helps, honestly does. Just the overall layout, little things that are considered, I think are better than the skitter, I have to say. The net is actually up under here. It's up under there. I like the old traditional rod box. We're going back to carpet in here. I like the carpet better, to be honest with you. I didn't like the drainage in my last boat. Things got pretty crusty. You still got to let this boat dry out too and it doesn't have the dry dock. Doesn't have the fans that run through. So that's a downgrade, but I just like the organization. I can get a lot more rods in how that rod rack is in there. I just like it better. It's a single one. And then you're pretty much just open to store whatever in all these other boxes. So they're deep. It's good. I like the organization. Seats are great. I really like the center console. The center console allows you to store things in here.   We've got your die. I got your oils. That's what I put in there.  This whole entire passenger rod box opens up. So you can open that store stuff and that. And of course, you've got storage boxes back here. This is all the same. This actually has five batteries in it, y'all. There's five batteries. And it's kind of hard to see back here, but trust me, there's five in there. So there's one just for running the electronics. These big old grass they make nowadays.  So one is just for the motor itself. And the other one is for power poles and electronics, stuff like that. You know, we got the power pole blades on there. Look at sick. Look how nasty that motor is, just the reflection off the water. I'm not used to having a black motor without a cover. So that's pretty solid right there. I'm going to have to keep that thing clean. Hydraulic jack plate on this one too. I missed that two boats ago. I had a hydraulic jack plate. I really like that. And one of the guys there that was running one of these, he had the exact same thing. He said, best performance is that really two and a half, you know, what you get up on pads. So that's where I'm keeping it. I don't think the handling is as good as the last silver bullet, you know, the Skeeter. I like the handling, feel more comfortable with that handling. I'm used to that style. I mean, that's like switching from Porsche to Ferrari. There's things that are different. And then if you don't know what China walking is, when you get really fast, we're talking this boat goes fast like 75. You know, Skeeter was like low 70s on a good day. But it'll start doing this right here, this number, like kind of, kind of walking on you. And that gets a little squirrely. It feels like you could lose control.  You got to know how to drive that thing. Fortunately, I got a little experience with it. Oh, here's one of the things I didn't like. Besides the drain plug being up in 10 buck to on the butt crack of the boat over there. Little boo boo here. I don't like this. I don't, I don't like the attachments right here.  So I'm going to get on the motor and break it in a little bit more before I start dabbling with the electronics. By the way, I want to do this right now and get spending a little time with it. Because tomorrow I'm leaving for a trip, me and Stephanie. It is our five year anniversary, y'all. A lot of y'all have been here since the whole time, since the beginning, five years. So thank you guys for hanging around. We met around water. My life has been around water. Steph loves the water, too. And we're not taking Amy with us. It's just going to be me and Steph. So we're going to take the boat and we're going to have a good time out there on the water. She has not fished with me in over a year or so. But anyway, we're going to get a little dangle time together, which has been a rare occasion over these last few years. Been busy, y'all. Been busy. Okay, let's fire her up again and just take a listen from right here in this seat. When it hits, it's dirty. It is just dirty. Okay, I'm going to put the old LJ on. We're going to get to rip it. Let's drive totally different. For any of you that are curious, these are the top two boat brands, I would say right now, that get sold the most. This boat right here, great on top speed, great on tackle organization. I should rate these things. Taking waves, I would give it like a seven, you know. It just, it doesn't take them like that, that FXR. Now the FX, a little bit different story, but FXR took the waves really, really well. The Skeeter's more like driving a high speed pontoon, to be honest with you. It's got those sponsors in the back. There's just a lot more control, whereas this boat, it's just, it's just more visceral.  You got that more V action, and it is fast. The motor, the whole shot is okay. And then when you get like mid range, and you hit it, it's like, boom. Like, I want to say this thing is a V8. I could be lying. If someone's out there that knows, just viscerate me in the comments. But I think this is a V8. It even sounds like a V8. It's just dirty. Top speed is crazy, even with that 24 pitch prop. The boat's going to take a little getting used to, but it's not terrible. It's really, it's not bad. It's just, it's just different. These are different boats. I will say this one is, I think, better laid out for the tournament angler. Like, just the way the boat sets up, it's a little bit better for the tournament angler. If you know, if you know how to drive a boat, and you know what you're doing, and you like to go fast, I think this is your boat. I have not even talked about the electronics. I have not even talked about the trolling motor. I've never even put this trolling motor in the water. I don't even know how to use it. Garmin up until, you know, these last couple years, I thought all they did was make navigational devices, watches, and big old electronic units for offshore boats. But turns out they make just about everything. This hair's crazy, y'all. Haven't got a haircut since quarantine. And I don't think I'm going to. Steph really likes it. I'm kind of digging it, to be honest with you. You know, long hair. Don't care. Fish, just be aware. Okay, folks. Now I just want to play with the pan optics. Look at these fish off to my right. Look how many there are. Look at this. Look what is going on here. This is dang near cheating. Or if they don't buy it, it's just called frustration. Oh, but I'm already hooked up. So that's not what's happening. Oh my, what do we got here? Have we failed to hook a daggum? Oh, geez. My goodness, we got the Monde Whiteys out here. I always like to break in a new silver bullet with a good white bass sesh. I really just want to learn these pan optics. Check this out. This is where the pliers and everything go. Kind of concealed up under there, but we'll do. Back in their hole. I can't get the spot lock engaged until I calibrate the remote control. By the way, y'all, this trolling motor, look at the ease. It's smooth. Super smooth. Hyper smooth, I would say. And it's gone. Look, look at the fish swimming up out of the school. Oh my gosh. This is incredible. I've heard that the pan optics for crappie fishing is, is so, so effective. I see why I got to do this a little bit for walleye. Spoiler alert on the trip. And I'm doing it right here. I'm just messing around with colors and whatnot and literally trying to learn this thing. See if we can see that fish go back down. So you can see fish swimming here. There's one coming up. That is right below the boat. So where is my lure? That's what I want to see is where is my lure? This pan optics unit is the shizzy. And check this out. When I lift up the trolling motor, watch this. It just assumes the position. That is the easiest thing ever. So there's no like getting it straight with the foot. This is the transducer, which I can adjust outward or straight down, just kind of depending. So I'm going to adjust it like that and see what happens. See if I can get my straight down performance. Oh, look at these fish right here. Gosh, look at the activity now. So I just said where I can see more straight down.  This is and they're literally coming up right in front of the boat though. Look at that. Look at that. This is insane. Look at them now. We're covered up. Got him covered up in their juices. Look behind me. They're surfacing. This is just not even fair. It's like the silver bullet is being crescent with a school of white bass right now. They're coming towards the vessel in droves. Look at what's going on. Here's the school of fish. Okay. I'm going to drop my lure down. Okay. There it goes. There it is. My spoon is tiny. Remember, watch these fish come up for it. They're coming up. They're coming up. They're following that fish because you've got my lure. Unbelievable. Oh my gosh. The education that you can attain by just watching this screen while you're fishing is next level. Next level. It is, I would have to say, worth the money just to learn. You could go back to regular sonar and still be effective, but you're learning how these fish are behaving. You're going to pick up so much I can already tell. This is just outstanding. Look at the fish coming up right now. Look at the fish coming up. I am bum-fuzzled by this. It feels when you're on this panoptic system, it feels like you're, it's like God-like powers and you're looking out over the souls of the lake, except they're fish down there and you're taking them up to heaven and you're bringing them in the silver bullet. It is magical. I'm going to learn so much from this thing. I'm so excited. I know I'm late to the party on this. There's a ton of YouTube's videos about it. If you guys want to watch, learn, I have literally done that. That's how I learned it was so good for crappie and other stuff, but I'm going to abandon my white bass here for a minute. I'm going to go look at some other rock piles and things and see if we can get a bass on the line. Just kind of look and I'm going to take it in. I'm going to end on the great note here, just discovering that. Okay, Chesty was loose. Oh, got a bass on. I literally, this is the first time this has ever happened, but I got stopped by a police officer. He's right over there checking those folks and he had to go through my boat. Literally brand new. Let's get this guy up in your first, first bass in the new boat, baby. Yes. Caught up on that big old drag and drop at seven inches. All right, buddy, let's get you on hook. I know it's hot.  That was my second cast, second bass cast. Didn't have to go, probably. I literally had to, I had to break out all my life jackets. I had to do my horn. Ironically, I was checked like zero times in that other boat. First day out in this one, wow, bam. Did I say drag and drop a second ago? That's where my mind is. I just came from the Great Lakes where the drop shotting was key. I meant to say slim chic. This is the seven incher. This is the big boy here. There's a rock drop off. There's some fish on top of it. It's a good crankbait spot, it looks like. You guys legal? Did you get a ticket? Good deal. I am. Yeah, I've just got a new boat, so I'm trying it out. Are you recording video? Yeah. I was just catching a fish while you guys were getting checked. That's a short guy. Appreciate you, man. Well, hey, good luck, guys. Take it easy. Got some fishing freaks on the lake, dude. I'm just the energy already in this boat. It's hot. Oh, man, I felt it going in the crevasses. The deep crevasses in there, man. That's where I had that other one. I got stuck and then I got it unstuck and then one ate it.   You guys going after white bass? That's the same thing. Yeah. All right. I mean, it's far. It's like a couple of hundred yards off the shore. Drop it down, reel it up a couple cranks, jig it. I'm telling you every time. Yeah, here. Listen, follow me seriously. I'll go slow. This looks like a father-son duo behind me. I'm going to put them on the white bass. Catch them both. Show these boys where they're at. I want to see you hook one now. Fish on.  Look at that. Look at the size of them things. Yeah, like five hours ago. You got to break it in right. There you go. Hey, watch them come up to the top too. Did you see that troll motor, guys? How cool is that? You guys have fun? Yeah, take it off. I'm leaving them for you. We have launched the boat today. We've run into fishing freaks. We've discovered greatness with the pan optics. It's called white bass.  We got checked by a police officer. It's been a lot. It's been a lot this happened. Just listen to the girth on this bad boy. It's actually quieter when you get it up on pad and it's more gurgling and deep when it's in the idle. It's just nasty. I like it. Okay. I think I might just take it in. I'm getting this severely sunburned. We got a lot of fishing to do later this week with OSG going after crappie bass. You name it. We'll tackle the whole way to the new boat y'all. So thank you for tuning in today. I feel blessed to be in this industry just working in it and this is man literally living the dream. So thank you for supporting me. Thank you for watching this channel and I love you guys. God bless you. I'll see you soon.
