OK folks looking good Billy Ray feeling good Lewis our guest today will be Jeff huge of Alpha Insights. Tomorrow we're going to have Paula Douglas on the line on Thursday. We have none other than Norman who calls it to the minute Winsky and on Friday we're going to have Shane Smollion. So we've got a nice set up next week. We're going to have hopefully Joey D. Denapoli will be on. But boy that dude is really hard to get in touch with folks. I posted this chart of the dowy many last night because I set my limits on when prices are hit and in the middle of the night I think it was two or three o'clock in the morning it hit the exact number. I saw the notation of it later. Everything is after the fact here. But I just want to give you some heads up because these dudes that are out here with these numbers they play these numbers and when they go there you got to pay really close attention to him. Well when that was happening I just happened to be looking at the European session with my AI program and this remember I didn't do anything with this because it was long after the fact. But look at that the exact time that occurred was right about five o'clock in the morning New York time which is what is a three o'clock in the morning Tucson time. And you can see what's happened. We're back the minis back up to about four forty four ninety or something I saw last. So it's in that area of looking out of what's going on. Yes the gold trade did not work out very well. You know it's really funny folks. I did that gold trade selling it up there. It looked like it was going to work this morning. It was had a small profit in it of about a couple of bucks. Then it went out and stopped out. I had more comments about the losing trade in gold than I did in the winning trade in the crude oil. And I and you know the answer to that was folks. It was very simple. It was the end. There's three people's no big deal. But they all had the same thing. Well I didn't do the crude oil. Anyway that's neither here to there. So you make thirty five hundred and one and lose seven hundred and another. And all of a sudden no one's coming back to your restaurant anymore. That's certainly OK boys and girls. Hey let's take a quick minute here. I want to talk more about crude in a minute. But there's something really big happening right now. And I know most of you have maybe looked at it maybe haven't. But let's take a look here. Well let me put it up here right now. Here is the Treasury bond market folks on the weekly basis. You'll get it up right here. There's where we are. We're a little below the 61 percent retracement. The ABCD comes in one twenty five oh three. This is the largest of all the commodities that we trade. You see the three eight two retracement on the weekly up there. That's when we've got super bearish way back there in September October when the bonds were one sixty eight or sixty nine. And we didn't take all of it. We took a nice piece out of it. You know you never get the high. You never get the low unless you're God. And I mentioned she's not trading anymore at the present time. But look at this on a shorter term basis. I have not even put out a buy on this for the twenty four seven. And the reason for that is I forgot. But I would be buying the heck out of these Treasury notes or Treasury bonds today. We're down into this area. This the area the old area we've taken that we've shattered all that. See so my first support in these bonds excuse me in the notes was at one twenty six fifteen. I didn't I'm trying to buy the bond so I didn't buy the notes. That was my projected low in the notes. I don't know how close they came as the low as one twenty six fifteen which could check someone check that for me please. Well Maria I am too dear. The question is it should be happening very soon if it's going to be happening in fact in the next ten minutes we'll see whether that's going to happen or not. But that's that's why I'm watching him very closely. Now since we're since we're talking about the old bond all these let me get this up here. You'll be able to see here. This is what we were looking at here this morning. This is the E mini. This is the Dow Jones time out judges ruling. Let's try this again Larry with English. We are now looking at the U.S. Treasury bond futures. You'll notice we posted this when it was a one fifty three oh three. Our projected low was one fifty two four twelve twelve. The low so far has been one fifty two fourteen. So this is a nice pattern. It's over a you know ten day period. So this is pretty good. You got the one point two seven you've got the butterfly pattern. You've got the one three five pattern all of that lines up. So it's going to be a low risk trade and I bet you a dollar to a donut. You can't get anybody to buy nose and bonds here. Everybody wanted them at one eighty one sixty one forty all of those. But boy down here nobody wants them. So whether that's going to be something that's going to be of any interest at all I don't know but I need to check them right now. So give me one second here where we are.  I think they've already made that level. Didn't get filled. Son of a gun that low was fourteen. I was trying to buy thirteen brother. They've already moved a half a buck. I can't. That was talking about the bonds here. Nothing we can do about that. So let's not worry about it. OK. What other one are we watching here that's of an interest. Boy I'm telling you folks this is this is could be a significant bottom here in these notes and bonds. We've been we've had these on our radar for quite some time. And we're at a point where they could be you know just extremely extremely having a really good rally of some you know stretching imagination it could be you know the let's get this up so you folks can see it on a on a better basis here. Hold on one second here. This is the one we've had on the daily for such a long time. That's just poor trading. Larry Mena missed by two ticks. All right. Let's see you being the ABCD down there. You mark you notice how I mark this this thing in the one point six one eight that's the one point two seven we went through that folks. We went down to the one point two seven of that last swing. So once we went through the one fifty two twenty seven that's when the alert came on to be a potential buyer of the previous pattern that we just talked about. I hope you understand how that works because what I'm doing is I'm taking longer term trading and moving me into short term trading to show you what I'm looking at. So all I do is I blow this up to say OK it went through that number. Where is it going to go next. And that's where I came up with that one one fifty two fourteen numbers. So that's what we're paying close attention to. We'll see what's happening. Did anybody see what that note bottom was because I think it was spot on and I don't trade the notes. If you trade the notes you have to put on two contracts to get the same volatility that you get with the bonds. But that's that's neither here nor there. So this is going to be what we call a very interesting day. Folks there's a number out here that you really have to pay attention to pay attention to today. And that's the low of the NASDAQ twenty twenty cents lower than the lot the time out. It's 20 cents lower than the low of the day which is at one fourteen forty four just think of fours. If we go below one fourteen forty four that is not going to be very good for the stock market. It's that's a really important super super duper important number that you must must we don't have to but I would pay you know very very close attention to it. If I were you OK we'll be right back eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight.

remember these numbers that I talk about they work part of the time they don't work all the time and that's the real key you know to what we're watching the reason why they work is very simple I'll put this up right here we've already talked about Mandelbrot and ABCD but we can go back to about 600 BC when we had our good friend Pythagoras there and you'll see the Pythagorean theorem all related to the ABCD the square roots of the pot noose are all those related to Fibonacci numbers Pythagoras was so smart folks he was the first man to ever use the square roots of numbers I mean there's just so many things that he did he also knew that the distance between the earth and the moon was 250,000 miles he knew the diameter of the earth and the diameter of the moon by using his geometry and the shadowing stuff that he did he was a really strong believer in the astral things like solar eclipses and the movements between Venus Mercury and Mars which you could see with a naked eye most of the time but he was just so far ahead of it he was so far ahead they asked Albert Einstein once who were the smartest people to ever walk the planet the gentleman said who were the five he said well he said number one was Pythagoras he said there was god and there was man and in between was Pythagoras he said number two I'm going to have to say it was Leonardo da Vinci he said number three Isaac Newton I can't remember the fourth one and he said the fifth one of course was me Albert Einstein well he had some good what do you call good vibes as far as his optimism on himself was was done so we got to remember that which is really good now I just think that there's a real possibility today we could get a substantial thing happening here with these notes and bonds and that may be what is causing the stock market having such a big run here you know we've had a we've moved to 200 handles I think we have haven't we have more well no a little more c4 to 6 yeah we've moved 250 handles in the e-mini Nasdaq in the matter of one hour and that's so it's moving pretty good and we've had the s and p move about 30 handles a little more than 30 handles that's another one jumping around quite a bit so we had to pay you know really really close attention to that too so these are just the many things that are going on today so we'll be watching them closely as we always do and Jeff huge will be our guest as we come through here now here's a comment I'll talk just a little bit about overall charting and stuff folks because you know you hear all kinds of things in the news and you got to believe it sometimes you do sometimes you don't but look look what's happened just to show you an example here we brought this to your attention before this is the price of Google folks look we made a three drive to a top pattern back on November the 22nd then we make a perfect one three five pattern where one and three and five are all symmetrically related to the harmonics of six one eight seven eight six and one two seven and one six one eight we break all the way down to twenty five ten and hold on here um yeah hold yeah just uh hold on just a second here I got to change a little something here called an order bear with me here it's hard to do everything at once folks but I got to do it and look at look what's happened folks they came out and say we're going to split 20 for one of course that splits not till July but the main thing that you're looking at here is look at this high folks they opened this stock up can you believe it 350 points we take out the high of December wow this is a $3,000 stock it took out the high in December by four dollars if you were a trader in Google and you couldn't take advantage of that you should turn in your chart pencil and run away I mean because look at that you it goes from 300 the high was by four dollars more there was nothing up there but air and that's why it's so important speaking of air I want to show you what's happening now because the same thing that was happening now is what happened back in 1991 when I was telling the story yesterday about John and he's trading at the Goodyear tie and rubber for the Alaskan pipeline and how the premiums were and you can see here look at this the premiums on your Brent crude oil and your options for December are $120 a barrel look at the premiums on these folks I mean they're giving money away if you're selling calls up in here and now selling calls up in there gee gee that don't look too bad does it well golly Gomer maybe we got something here that's all I can tell you you just got to jump on these things once in a while because when those when those ABCDs do land and sometimes they land right on your lap you want to be able to take advantage of them and that's all it is folks it's nothing more than a pattern nothing more nothing less and you know I don't I don't care people you know tell me hold on get it up here to show you again you know some of these work some of these don't and I understand I get three emails about gee how come we took a loss in the gold well that one didn't work well the crude oil worked well I didn't take that one that's all part of trading folks and you've got to take responsibility for that that's the best I can do I can show you these patterns and remember if you're right about 50 percent of the time and we do quite a bit better than that we're closer to about 65 percent but the other you know and we break even a lot you know we put our stops at break even on a lot of things and that you know prevents us from taking big losses and things and we miss a few moves but it's not about how much money you make it's about how much money you don't lose you've got to you've got to put that in your quiver for your when you pull out an arrow that that's the main one you got to protect your bacon that's the main thing remember Warren Buffett's rules is number one rule don't lose money and number two don't break rule number one well that's the the name of the game and you've got to be able to remind ourselves of that each time we trade because there's nothing any more frustrating than the thinking you know more about these markets than they know about you and that's not going to happen so just keep that in mind okay now I want to move back just just a little bit please give me one more tick give me one more tick mister uh count wisdom general what it was all right I wanted to just one more time on the bitcoin here is the chart we posted yesterday because we made a abcd in ethereum up there at 30 32 30 240 I believe or something like that was the 382 and the abcd now the 382 on the bitcoin itself this is a theorem on the 382 on bitcoin doesn't come into 46 000 we only got to 44 5 I believe I don't know where it's trading today but just a lot of things happening I don't know what's going on if there's anything astrological or not but there's a lot of things happening here in the market these days so I think it's this is day when you really want to pay attention especially when you got notes and bonds because that one has been beaten up you know quite a bit and it's it's due for something you know pretty dramatic I was going to do two LT do TLT but it frankly it was really hold on just a second get this one up here this is the one here is the one I was watching here in the treasury notes for today if we were to get that low I don't believe we did I know we got to really close to 12602 could someone tell me how low we got in the treasury notes today because 126 was uh what's going on with that yeah I know the crude oil is down 240 a barrel today which is good okay that's right in the ballpark so it's still a little low hey listen we got Jeff huge alpha insights coming up

you we're for good jeff i have a question i am uh something i'd not seen before what do you mean when you're talking i posted the chart in here of the trend analysis binary could you explain to me this is a beautiful chart and it makes a lot of sense but what are you what are you showing here what do you mean by binary so larry what i mean basically is the market has to make a decision one direction or the other uh binary means it's either up or it's down and so you know we've we've kind of arrived at this neutral juncture where we've you know broken the short-term trend but we're holding the intermediate term trend and the support level is about 4300 and around the 55 weeks simple moving average but we've also broken down below initial support which is around 4500 and the 55 day exponential moving average which is a little bit above there and so once the market recovers the 55 day we can say that that binary um condition has been resolved to the upside but if it fails below the 55 week simple moving average then we can say that it's resolved to the downside okay well now now that makes that makes a perfect sense that's for sure now then they hold on one second i've got you get your check your next chart out on the elliott wave count because you're really good with this stuff and i'd sure like to get your feedback this is your preferred elliott wave count that we're looking at here yes um so on the left side what we're really doing is looking back over two years to the march 2020 lows and we're counting um a progression that should ultimately be five waves to the upside impulse progression and within that we can see that there's a subdivision between wave two and wave three that counts very nicely and holds a very very specific trend channel now that trend channel has been broken and that's got a lot of people concerned but what we're thinking is that it's really wave four and it's a complex uh corrective wave form known as a double irregular flat correction and it's quite textbook if you look on the right hand side of this diagram you'll see a um a magnified version of that where we show in detail exactly how this pattern conforms to the textbook expectations and we've got basically um you know a three wave move to the upside that uh makes a slight higher high and then it breaks down and makes a slight lower low than we saw previously and so that is what really is designed to confuse market participants but actually plays right to that corrective patterns you know textbook expectations and the fact that it's holding very well above that key support level of around 4300 and that 55 week simple moving average and lead us to believe that we're now in the process of of this final fifth wave advance and so we've made two progressive moves up we've counted it as a one two one two and the next big move to the upside should be a third of a third it should be very dynamic and we would expect it to carry to new all-time highs at which point we'd be able to project an upside target to s&p 500 5400 hello operator starship enterprise with 5400 and s&p we're trading at 4500 right now it would be quite a move wouldn't it and um you know that's why we're saying this is a binary condition we don't want to go all in just yet but as we see progress develop we want to be ready to get on this because we're able to see you know with a fairly particular roadmap exactly where we're going once these moves occur wow i think you should change that instead of binary you should put it as coronary because that's what it's looking like hey i like your part here about the positive breath divergence you want to tell the folks what they what are you showing on that because that that's really a you can see tremendous divergence there this is um part of the supporting evidence to that bulk case so normally when we talk about breath divergences we're looking at negative divergences trying to confirm the tops in place where we're seeing you know the advance the climb line failing to confirm on the upside well here we're looking at the exact opposite expectation and and we you know let's we forget this relationship works in both directions right so what we've seen is we've seen a lower low in the s&p 500 take a look at the bottom panel yet the advanced decline line which is a cumulative measure of the s&p 500's breath actually made a higher low that symbolizes stabilization or broadening out relative to that past December low and so that's a condition that generally preceded in advance or a resumption of an uptrend at the very least a strong rally and certainly that's what we've seen off the gen 24 low and so the real question on our mind is you know how important was that January 24th low was that the wave 4 lower that we just identified Elliott wave counts and is this supporting evidence confirming that and all we need to do is we need to see that advanced decline line make a new high to confirm it and frankly we're only about 125 handles away so that seems like it's a reasonable achievement you're also this next one your investment sentiment boy you can see everybody's scared i mean this is the kind of thing that makes for good buying opportunities and my goodness that can certainly be what that's the one that's almost an historic number here for quite some years exactly a historic number Larry that is an absolute record and so what we're looking at is we're looking at the total u.s equity futures positioning so it's not long or short it's total right and so speculators liquidated they liquidated both their long and their short positions in size okay more than a 40 percent drawdown in spec positioning entirely that liquidation of open interest is is really representative of extreme fear you know this lack of conviction on either direction just total fear and what fear means is that you've washed out you've liquidated all of those those um excesses that would normally be built into the market that need to be corrected they're out of the market at this point and so now it's back to a point where we need to you know climb that wall of worry and that's usually a great setup going into um the next leg of the advance and that's why i think if we build upon all the evidence i've laid out right here it's really tilting the odds in favor of a resumption of the bull market advance and new all-time highs in the not too distant future wow that's really something Jeff i really like that uh we've got a break coming up but we can cover this uh growth stock a chart that you have here because i uh i find it very interesting but also i don't do stocks so could you tell us what you're looking at value versus growth yeah absolutely this is um a ratio of the value index versus the growth index and we're using actually pure value and pure growth which means that there's no overlap between the constituents normally if you're looking at like the Russell value versus the Russell growth it's the same body of stocks with different weighting and so here we just have value stocks versus growth stocks and what happens is when that ratio is pointed down growth is outperforming and when it's pointed up value is outperforming well we've seen a marked change over the last two years as values put in a double or the ratio is put in a double bottom and value has started to truly exert itself and we expect that relationship to resolve to the upside and that should uh be the leadership for the foreseeable future Jeff stay with us please we'll be right back for

about breaking out uh you want to tell the folks what you're expecting here yeah um it's it's happening larry it's not even an expectation anymore uh i see that that yeah that that much is clear right we've already broken out of what i would define as um a classic pattern base formation of the inverted head and shoulders variety and we've taken out that neckline and we're now taking out the high point of the left shoulder and with the close above 193 the other day that gives us a lot of confidence that um you know uh we're moving higher and usually the way these patterns project upside is the depth of the base of the pattern is projected off the the right hand side of the pattern and if we do that um we get to about three percent and the question is how quickly can we get to three percent well i look at how quickly we got from three to two and that took just nine months and so these patterns tend to resolve symmetrically so it would not surprise me at all to see us trading with the three percent ten-year note yield by year end well that's that's really cool now there's the next one here i don't quite understand because i'm not a stock person but uh we'll take a look at this and this is the one where you're looking at the value between the high the high correlation to value yeah so um you know what we've done is we've taken that chart of the uh value to growth ratio again and we've overlaid on top of it the ten-year u.s treasury yield looking back the last 15 years so uh treasury yield during red the the value growth ratio is in black and you can see that there's a very high correlation uh when one's going down the other's going down when one's going up the other's going up and not perfectly correlated obviously but about 83 percent correlation which is exceptionally high and so what it's saying is if we're right about rates going to three percent uh then value stocks are going higher as well and so relative to growth and so what i think is really happening if we're going to sum this all up is that we've got a shift taking place underneath the surface of the index whereby value stocks are starting to really reassert themselves and they tend to be highly correlated to rising interest rates which is also an overlaying dynamic because of inflation and because of the Fed's commitment to battle inflation and so as the Fed raises rates uh we're curious likely that we'll continue to see this um ten-year yield expand higher and value stocks will tend to outperform growth stocks in that realm and so it's basically a new regime yeah wow this is really cool stuff now i want to bring the next one up which goes uh it's reethon technologies we have a huge reethon plant here uh i see it's breaking out does this have any relationship to war because i know they make a lot of a lot of war materials i just wondered if uh if that could be it i agree i think a lot of it has to do with the fact that we've got uh you know build up the troops on the border of russian Ukraine the Ukraine has been deploying uh reethion's patriot defense missile defense system and um that happens to be the biggest division at reethion so it's definitely going to show up in the numbers because their sails are going to skyrocket in the first quarter as the Ukraine takes delivery of all these new missile defense systems so that's the fundamentals behind it but you can also see a big technical development here and that is a big inverted cup and handle base formation that is broken out to a new all-time high yesterday and i think today actually as well and so you know what we're looking at is we're looking at a resolution to the upside of these these range consolidations right this big large base which gives us a count to at least $106 near term and longer term about $138 now what's really interesting is reethion is not only a stock that's just got a nice pattern but it's a relative strength leader it's beating the s and p 500 it's we it's beating the s and p industrial sector and it's actually beating the pure value index as well so it's it's beating on a sector a style in an index basis so this is a leadership stock that's breaking out with great technical foundations that looks to me like we can resolve to the upside with you know better than three to one positive rescue for those who want to play this thing for a trade well that's a that's a really a beautiful path you gave us one on apple that worked out really well it went into new high ground by quite a bit so reethion's got a lot of you know i think positive news things that could make this thing really good and other people i believe we're seeing that and so that'd be something that i'd have my handle on in far view now i want to post your information on how the folks can reach you it's a it's it's website is www.jwhinvestment.com jeff huge twitter is alpha at slice insights and we have it linked in at jeffree wu cmt anything else you'd like to add jeff sure larry if

bet jeff huge folks alpha insights and we got the market smoking and joking we got the s and p up here at 4506 the nasdaq is uh flirting with the 78 percent level that looks like the dow jones industrial average is headed towards that venus mars conjunction that we have coming in pretty soon which is way up in the air and everything looks good so we'll see how it ends up today because that's going to be an interesting thing to look at uh we've had a uh bounds are still down on the day but they're fighting their way back the low was 152 14 and right now they're up about a half 10 points up to 155 25 nothing you know really uh dramatic going on there so those are just a couple of things that we're paying attention to today the real figure to watch today folks is that nasdaq low because uh if by any chance we go below uh 14 450 today in the nasdaq that's 240 handles from where we are but you know we've seen these things evaporate at time so paid very paid very very close attention to that because it's a real interesting one to uh pay attention to because we're having some great volatility and it's going to continue for sure and that's the one thing that we really enjoy is to see this volatility watch these notes and bonds folks they have a tendency to uh surprise everybody and the whole world is negative right now you remember when they were when they were trying to feed us the old uh pablum or tapioca that there were zero interest rates coming negative interest rates get on board now and when was that oh yes that was at the top of the market so what

e-mini s and p and overlaid the AI program over it I thought I'd update you this morning this is what the the forecast was set for that was early in the morning you see 10 o'clock right when we were going on the show I posted it right before that and so what I thought I'd do just for kicks and giggles is just to see how well it's doing remember these things fail a lot but so far it's acting pretty much you know what we're looking at here and as you can see here we we may be looking in for maybe a topping action here in the market where the dow Jones might back off 15 points and the s and p might back off three or four points who knows uh remember tomorrow we hope to have paula douglas as our guest the key number to watch today folks is in the NASDAQ if we make new lows uh lights out this is going to be really bad if we do that that's a long way but 250 points in the NASDAQ can be handled as you see on the way up it took well over an hour and a half to make 250 handles and sometimes the way prices go up or the way prices go down whether that happens or not that's the main thing you know to pay close attention to it jeff huge made some really good cases for the market going a lot higher it certainly could do that but it before i throw in the indians and the towels and all that stuff i'm going to have to see it print above uh one above 46 uh in the no excuse me 45 85 if i see 45 85 in the e mini s and p i will put the white flag up bow to mecca and thank everybody for being in this business and walter and i will move out into the desert uh searching for beautiful rocks that we like to find every once in a while two things there a i've never been on a on a on a donkey and two i don't go out in the desert looking for rocks so i try to find pebbles here in the market and the my pebble today is notes and bonds watch them folks they might have a rally uh and if they if they close really badly today below all these numbers just get out of the way because rates are going to go higher and higher and the bonds are going to be you know but i can't recommend being short bonds and notes in here folks it's meets all my objectives we'll be back with you tomorrow live every day in an attitude of gratitude and may god bless


Okay, so good morning. I'm so tardy. I'm so I this is not like me I'm usually very early, but um, I did not know so many things were gonna happen today, and I'm Hilda Lopez from Santa Clara Public Library in the city of Santa Clara and I'm here to tell you about our little ESL club that we have had now for maybe Three years. I've been in charge of it for maybe Almost two years of that. It was kind of handed down to me Which was a great hand down one of the best hand me downs ever because it the foundation was already set So what I did was just take my ESL class and tweak it to what I wanted it to be And it has now become into this crazy fun 70 plus person a week attendee Program to where I'm thinking now of bumping out our children's program to the smaller room because we need the space It gets so hot in there from everybody yapping. It's great And everybody's walking around and meeting and it's it's fabulous. It's such a great turnout The the only problem with that is that they take their conversations outside into the library I'm like, I'll just keep it down. So it's a great thing, right to have to tell them Please keep it down because you're having too much fun at the library, but that's what we're all about So we have a program a volunteer coordinator who screens All our volunteers that we get in the building for L for all of the library programs and She's already been told heads up that we do prefer to have the native speakers It's what the people want. They've actually come up and told us. Do you have somebody that only speaks English with no accent? I mean Completely understandable. I mean they are there to enhance their English to speak well to You know to hear a native speaker. So now we've we do have some What do I how do I call this some some life or volunteers that do have an accent, but they speak English very well So how can you say no? You can't be in our, you know, we love our volunteers We call our volunteers partners because volunteering sounds like you're getting your hands in there, which they are but they're Partners so what we have is in our community room. We set up these tables eight tables eight seats per table And at 1030 we're already set up I am not a librarian. I am a pair of paraprofessional if I could even say the word and I have an assistant Who also is a library assistant and she helps me with the setup. So now I'm in charge of also Preparing idioms so every day we have an idiom. We present them with the birthday suit idiom or you know You know the grass is greener on that side or whatever and everyone's so interested So the element that I have brought into this is that I actually make them work So we don't have a curriculum, of course. We don't have a Any homework involved ever our only homework is when we do have a potluck? So they are the best potluck. You're like, wow Korean beef tacos. Whoo But they do bring in the best food They pride themselves in bringing something from their countries. So when you can talk about food, that's always a great subject So we set up and prep the tables. We meet and greet the students. We always meet them We don't make them sign up. So I guess in the beginning of our program They did have a sign-up list But sometimes people want to just go somewhere and not have to have that set curriculum like oh god I have to put down my phone number and everything. No, you don't have to it's a it's a first-come-first serve You know if there's space you're more than welcome if there's no space. We have another little separate room where we have the Advanced English speakers with another partner that sits in a separate room because there are different levels So we do have a table that we used to put beginning beginners level We've now I've now said you know what there should be no beginners level because it just makes them feel a little bit inferior So let's mix it up with the group You know if you're gonna learn something you have to learn with people who are at different levels So it's nice to mix it up and it's worked out wonderful in our advanced group What's really nice is that at Santa Clara we have the reading program, which is read Santa Clara the literacy for Adults and so from there I kind of screened them and then I say you know what I think it's time for you to move on Let's get you a personal tutor. Let's get you enrolled in read Santa Clara Let's you know get you you know assessed for whatever's coming up next in your life Whether it's GED prep or citizenship or just helping out your child that with homework And we have had a lot of graduates from the ESL program on to our read Santa Clara, which is what we're there for So we present the idiom or special items, you know library events or you know different holidays coming up or Just different things coming up in children's lives. I know that People sometimes don't read their children's calendars from school since I'm a an old mom with young kids I know that those school calendars can be tricky I know that most of the people thought yesterday all the kids had no school because it's Columbus Day Well, guess what kids do have school. So when I told them last week I said don't forget on Monday take your kids to school. No, no, we have we have they have vacation I said no and so just little things like that. It makes them more aware, which is really nice And then what happens is they sit down with their partners. We also have a Lot of icebreaker games that are really nice Francis my assistant has been we make them bigger size I brought some samples. That's kind of silly. I don't know where I would put them, but they're just like Shoots and ladders type of things we use good old little buttons or little pebbles to do markers for each table And they're questions like silly questions like, you know What was your favorite teacher or what was your subject in high school that you like the best or different things You know, just icebreakers, which are really nice For their tables plus we do some for walking around the room, which is really nice And they start their group discussions and the partners are there to To make sure that that one person doesn't take over the entire table to give everybody a chance Or the partners there also if the table is kind of like a little stale boom you go and you get some Kathy's cards. We have these Kathy's cards, which I also brought or some pronunciation cards We have the atlases that also assist like where are you from Timbuktu? Where's Timbuktu? Let's go get an atlas. They bring the atlas out to the table. We had some Given to us by the friends of the library I had first put in this huge budget that I needed all these things and I did we do need all those things We need the dictionaries. We have The Kathy's cards the pronunciation cards the atlases and those are awesome items to have because when you're trying to meet Someone or tell them where you're from the most exciting thing is talking about yourself, of course So when you someone is able to open that book and say this is where New Jersey is they're like, oh nice You know, oh, I went there and it starts a whole new conversation So we provide them go with just three giant atlases for all the tables because not everyone's going to talk about Where they're from that same day, hopefully and So they start their group discussions and let me tell you at noon We Francis and I will go in there five minutes before and they are like going at a hundred miles an hour And you almost think gosh, I wish I could stay longer, but nope next program's up So they have to leave unfortunately. So, you know, but it's really popular like our colleagues here said but the season electivities is what just I don't know It's just amazing. It even reminds me and it rekindles good memories and it's really nice so you're getting your hands can be dirty but fun and then So, you know last year, I thought, okay, let me ask and see if they want to bring in costumes Oh my gosh, 90 year old women in little devil costumes. I'm like, we scored It was awesome because you don't think people are gonna even consider the option But they do and that's what you know, and it's I don't know It's a bonding time. It really is because those people keep coming back They feel so comfortable. They feel like they're in a club, which they are but it's like a little family club So we have, you know, 72 participants card pumpkins for the first time.  They all wanted stencils They all wanted to cheat and I said no because when I was a kid We did it just with the knife and maybe a pencil or pen and you're lucky if you got that so Good old-fashioned newspaper laid out on those tables. It takes no No extra money really just the pumpkins I brought all my steak knives from home and ask some friends can I borrow some steak knives? Yeah, yeah, and We did it. They got you know, I showed them a car of your little Thing out put your hands in there. We threw the seeds away. Some people wanted to say I'm like, whatever But it was just so fun and it was beautiful. It really was after that. We just provided some snacks I actually made some popcorn balls.  It took me like all night to make a hundred And my husband did not appreciate that either Okay, and so winter times come in and of course winter parties and everything. It's super fun What we did I thought you know what? Let's throw the karaoke out. We did the karaoke loved it You would not believe how many people know all the Elvis music. It was amazing We did Christmas Carol and we only did it for 20 30 minutes. Oh my gosh. It was a hit. They didn't want to I mean Karaoke is big. So We didn't do karaoke. We just had the screen. I put a laptop. We did YouTube karaoke It was awesome because we all sang it was it was a hit really fun So try karaoke. It really loosens up those chords and it just gets you going Summer time we do summer picnics I didn't have the tables where we all had it set up because we were so busy setting it up if you do Do the summer picnics outside in the park get help because Francis and I and one more person did it It took us all day, but it was so worth it. It was so beautiful We did it out in this little meadow out in Central Park beautiful and it was it was just nice And there we could stay all day So think of how this is really an improvement and an enhancement for your library if you don't already do it The partners give out ridiculous amount of hours and those are just you know, unfortunately the best statistics for your library ever You don't have to work or anything Yes, and It's just really nice really nice everyone should do it so super easy And I just wanted to say that this year we did get a grant for $35,000 from the pitch the idea and it all came from yes the ESL group Angela O'Connor pitched it for their for our group and we now have an ESL that is a night We are gonna offer it for Thursday nights for an entire year different programming for children families teens All kinds of things and you know what it's $35,000 that we didn't have last year. So it's wonderful Thank you very much


What's going on everybody? Aaron here from Departures Capital and we're here with RichTVLive today. How are you today Rich? I'm doing great. How are you doing today? I'm doing great and I'm excited to talk about three awesome topics. So we're going to be talking about Afria, Chronos, and then the Farm Bill. So first we're going to be talking about Afria and obviously we know that it was a really volatile week for Afria and we did close, we did end the week in the green. So I just wanted to get your opinion on the whole thing now that it's been a couple of days. The stock's been down a lot. The stock's up. Huge bounce. So where do you think we're headed from here? Well, I think that Afria was under attack all week and I know that I got under attack a lot because I talked about it. I think that Afria is going to be fine, which I told everybody. I think that this is only 6% of their business. If they have to pay a fine, they'll pay a fine. If there are people that need to resign or lose their positions, they will. They've already hired a forensic team that's going to go in and determine what's really going on within this transaction. They've had fairness opinions by large legal firms that they are standing behind. So I think they're going to address this and they'll get past it. They're going to go line by line and address these attacks by the short sellers who remember are profiting from the short trades. So I think that this is just a game. I think Afria will get through it. Like I said previously, it was obviously a tough week. They went down. Then they came back up like 50% on Thursday. I believe they were down 8% or 6% on Friday. So I don't believe they're out of the water yet. I think there is going to still be more volatility. I'm not personally going to buy it. I'm going to sell them the guidelines, but I believe soon it will hit a bottom and it will rebound aggressively. Yeah. I mean, we could see by the massive bounce that they had a 50, almost 50, well it was a 51% bounce on the American side. Do you think that that was a lot of short covering and that was why that it was such a big bounce or what do you think about that? I don't know. I thought about that and I was like, were the shorts covering on Thursday? Maybe it was people just institutions in some large whales thinking this is the time to buy. There's a lot of people involved in this company. I don't think he's going to disappear. So I don't know. I really don't know. I think that there's going to be more short incoming. So I'm kind of torn between whether it's shorts covering or people are finding the floor. Maybe it was a dead cap bounce. I don't believe that the shorts are finished shorting this. I feel like there's going to be more of an attack. If you look at Kronos Group, CVSI, Namaste, the companies that have been attacked by short sellers, it has been a continuous attack that took months. But if you look at what happened with Kronos Group, they shorted it down from like $12 in Canada, all the way down to four. And now they're all the way back to what? They went as high as $18 on Friday before the shoulders kind of maybe took it down a little bit or maybe some of the people took their profits. I think that's $17 in Canada now. So if you got an F4, that was the buying opportunity. AFRIA has presented a few buying opportunities here. And it's one of those companies that I believe is too big to fail. Yeah, for sure. If you look at the long-term charts, I mean, where it did bounce off of five bucks, that was back to like 2016 lows, right? So that could be another reason to. But anyways, aside from AFRIA, we've got Kronos, where we had a huge investment by Altria, $1.8 billion, and it sent the stock soaring. And we did see the Kronos perform well the entire week. So it was just people knew that it was, well, I'm sure some people knew it was going to happen, or there was some speculation behind it. So what I wanted to ask you was, why do you think that Altria chose Kronos versus all the other cannabis producers?  So how come Altria chose Kronos and how do you feel about that partnership going forward? It's a good question. I did a lot of research on this and it looks as though they met with each other. They built the relationship and they just kind of hit it off right away based on the news. So I think that's sometimes that just, you know, love and first sight match. They were the first company that that listed in America on the NASDAQ. They've been, you know, kind of around the game a little bit longer than some other people in America specifically. So they may have been a first mover. I think it's a strategic partnership. Kronos Group is also a global company. So I think it was, you know, there's only a few that are really global cannabis first movers and Kronos Group happened to be one of them. And we've already seen Kronos Group growth did it. Now Kronos Group has done it. And I think Kronos Group is next. I think Aurora is next. You think Aurora is next to get the partnership? Yeah, I think they will. And hopefully it's Coca-Cola and that will just turn this industry into another bull market. And you can see what happened when Altria made the deal with Kronos Group and it turned the entire cannabis sector into the green. So I believe this will continue. And with some of the news that's going to be coming as early as tomorrow, which we're going to talk about next, I believe that might be a catalyst for a lot of these stocks to come back off these 52-week lows. Yeah, for sure.  I feel like Aurora has such a huge fan base. And that's what everybody keeps talking about is when's Aurora going to get a deal?  I mean, I know you've got a ton of picks, but just like my dad and I, we've always, we've been in Aurora at two bucks. Like that was like the first cannabis stock we ever bought. So it was kind of like just one of those things, right? Sticks with you. Although you shouldn't get emotional when it comes to investing, but you'll always have your first like cannabis stock, right? Always been my number one since day one. Since I started this YouTube channel, Aurora was always been my number one. So, you know, once in a while, I'll put other companies in number one spot. I believe last year I did it. And if he was number one, and that was correct. I mean, they were number one. So, you know, Aurora had a big year too, but it's been an up and down year for Aurora. Like we've seen it in twice. We seem to go to five twice. Right now they're at 760 in Canada. I think it's about me. Yeah, no, me too. I agree with that. So for the last, for the last part of this video, and this could be a really big catalyst, you know, I'd love to hear your opinion on the farm bill passing and how could it really affect the market and spark a big rally or what's going to happen? Yeah, I think that from my research, we will have the farm bill being passed on Monday. Now there are some people saying that it could be delayed. They could banter back and forth. So this could even delay until the following week. So let's see exactly when it officially gets passed. But from what I've heard, it'll be passing tomorrow. And if it does, I believe this will be a catalyst. I also believe that cannabis stocks have hit a 52 week loge recently. And I believe we are going to see a resurrection. And I'm going to have a song for you guys about the cannabis stock resurrection maybe later today. And yeah, I believe we're going to see a resurrection very soon. So stay tuned. The farm bill will be a catalyst for many stocks in the cannabis sector, specifically hemp companies and companies, the CBD sector, companies like SeaWeb, Charlotte's Web, companies like Cura, companies like TrueLeave, I believe are going to be grossly affected by this in a positive way. I believe Aurora cannabis will be affected by this in a positive way. So stay tuned. We will be reporting on all the news as it happens. That's exciting. Yeah, it's going to be really interesting to see what happens. And I do agree. I think that, you know, the cannabis stocks, you could just feel the waves and waves of selling and then the bounce on Friday. So let's hope for some good news into the future. I guess one last thing we could talk about real quick is, you know, the stock markets were heavily in the red on Friday, yet the cannabis sector was in the green. For the rest of the year at least, where do you see the markets going versus the cannabis sector going? Wow, there's a lot of unrest right now on a global scale. So I'm really concerned about where the entire global market is going and maybe going into a recession. I hope we're not, but it's like a 10-year cycle. So we're around that point. So yeah, I'm a little bit concerned about that. But am I concerned about the cannabis sector? No. I believe the cannabis sector is one of the strongest sectors in the world. This is a new economy. It's a global economy that is becoming legal and is going to continue to be legal. I mean, we heard Aurora cannabis. I broke the news. They are now in 22 countries. They just opened up Mexico.  So yeah, I don't see the cannabis sector going through a recession anytime soon. A lot of people are saying, oh, what's going to happen when we get to the point where there's too much supply? Well, let's get to that point first. We're not even close. We're not even close. We can't even fulfill the need of the customers. So people are like, oh, what's going to happen when we reach our supply? Well, let's get there first. We're not even close to that level. The OCS, the Ontario cannabis store, cannot meet the demand of the customers. Yep. So let's get there first.  We will not run out of supply until we get to the point where we actually have enough supply. Exactly. So let's get to the point where we have enough supply, then we'll worry about oversupply. So I'm already talking. I'm hearing people talk about oversupply and I'm like, are you for real right now? Oversupply? Under supply? Yeah. How about talk about how are we going to fix the undersupply issues first? Correct. So let's get to the point where we have too much product. Yeah. Then we'll worry about too much product. Right now, we don't have even close to enough, which is why the illegal sector is flourishing in Canada. No, seriously. Yeah, it's so true. The government can't even shut them down because if they did, there would be no cannabis. Yep. So that's a whole nother problem, another show for another day. Exactly. Exactly. Well, I mean, I think that that's a great video that wraps up this video and always value your opinion, Rich. It's nice. We haven't collabed in a week. So I think this was a great video. We touched on three awesome topics. And yeah, I look forward to many more shows in the future. Big green week coming up, guys. You heard it here first from your boy, Rich, your boy Aaron at Departures Capital. We're out. Peace. Peace. Awesome. I think that was great.

Megan, take us through draft night.  I'd love to hear what what that whole experience was like for you. Well, I was kind of nervous the day, it started the day before the whole week I was cool. I was fine. The day, I mean, the day before I started to get a little nervous because I could go anywhere from three to 10. I had no idea where I was going, but I kind of had a feeling that when the New York Liberty got the trade and got more picks in the first round, you know, it was a possibility that I could slide lower and be picked by Liberty and that happened. So, Well, what do you think now that you do know it's in New York Liberty? What are you most looking forward to come the season, whenever that may start? Just playing with Kia again and playing with Sabrina. I feel like that'll be good for us, you know, both being on the floor together at the same time. We got the opportunity to work out together, but now since we'll be on the same team, I'm really looking forward to that. Speaking of Kia, how much have you guys kept in touch over the years and is that a comfort zone thing now that you're going to get to her by your side? That's got to be cool for you as another Yukon Husky. Yeah, most definitely. We've kept in touch over the years, you know, whether that's Snapchat or coming up to school, you know, just keeping in touch, like you said, over the years and just having her there will definitely be a huge help to me. Yeah. Megan, what went into your decision to forego your senior year and enter the WNBA draft? That could not have been an easy decision for you. It wasn't easy, but I just didn't want to have any regrets. You know, I talked to my family, my close friends and mentors that I go to for advice and, you know, I just thought it was the right time. I wanted to fulfill my dream. Did the new CBA and all that kind of play a role into that decision? Oh, not really. You know, it was just a plus to my decision. All right, Megan, we have a funny question for you, but I want to know how you got the nickname Megatron. Let's hear it. Where did you hear that from? We just know everything, you know, all our research and whatnot. Yeah, that one was definitely a high school nickname just growing up. They call me Megatron because I could like transform, as they say, on the court and do other things better than everyone else.  So I guess we have to bring that back in the city. Oh, that's great. Where did those nicknames come from? They just debuted. I know how that is. Yeah, some of my teammates, Lou made a Money Mag, I think, like our, you know, media person at UConn just came up with MW3, but MKW, that's my initial. So I just kind of always kept that. That's great. All right, well, after being coached by the greatest women's coach of all time in it, in Gino Ariama, how do you feel your game has really changed over the past few years, especially playing under him and maybe you learned from him? Playing under him, I think my game has grown in a way mentally at UConn. You know, you're able to fight through adversity.  Like you're able to outwork your opponent and your talent to come along with that. So I feel like that's that's in the way that my game has grown in the past three years. How do you think that's maybe prepared you to be a pro? I mean, I know that the organization in Connecticut has been known for doing that. We've got a few Huskies that have gone through the Liberty. So we know, do you think it's kind of really prepared you to be a pro? Yeah, for sure.  But it also helps that, you know, all the Huskies have done well in the league. So I feel like I'll have a not an easy adjustment, but I'll be able to manage things.  All right. Well, how excited are you to play alongside a player like Sabrina Yonescu as a piece? You're both going to be two key pieces to the Liberty's future.  Mm-hmm. Yeah. In the pre-draft process being coached, Hopkins talked about, you know, the direction he wanted to go in with the team and how he wanted similar time frames, well, not time frames, but kind of something like Golden State did. They got everyone in when they were, you know, kind of young and just elevated in the right direction. So I'm definitely looking forward to playing with Sabrina and us starting our careers together in New York. But according to Hopkins and his system, it sounds like he's a real guard-oriented system. Is that something that you're looking forward to? Because, man, you are the definition of versatile. I could say that experience calling your games this year. Yeah. That was definitely a connection we had, you know, how he runs his system, what he focuses on, and then the player development part.  So just what they have there, the pieces they have, you know, to help us be successful is definitely an attraction. What's the biggest piece of advice that you've gotten from either former players or coaches around the country in regards to entering the pro ranks at this point? I would say some coaches mentioned that, you know, your role is going to be different.  Is there anything that brings you the most nerves in terms of being a rookie this season? Is there anything off the spotlight of entering another league, of it being different than the college level that maybe brings some nerves to you? Well, you just don't know what to expect. But like I said, since I have people I'm familiar with, I feel like the adjustment will be kind of smooth. And if I ever need anything, I have people to lean on. What do you want everybody to know about you that maybe they don't know entering as a first year player? Is there something the fans can look forward to about you or have do you have a definition of yourself or identity that you want to kind of portray? I love to compete.  And I want to be a fan favorite. So I'm excited to start in New York. That's great. All right. Well, you know, we really appreciate your time and look forward to seeing you on the hardwood. I'm sure that this time period has been hard in terms of of trying to train while you've been home. But we're really excited to get to know you better and to see you on the hardwood in Brooklyn. Thank you. Thanks for having me.


How are you today? Hi, we're in my kitchen So we're unmounting some wood-mounted stamps. These are Daniel Trenti stamp boutique stamps They don't come cling-mounted They only come on wood blocks and I've been thinking about a while for about Unmounting them. So I thought I'd shoot a quick video on how exactly to do that And I do have to say as I'm doing it. I think they stamp better and clearer Unmounted they do mounted the way they come from the factory So I took the whole stamp wood block and all and stuck it rubber side up in my microwave for 30 seconds Now you're gonna want to test your microwave to see How long it takes in your microwave to do this start with 10 seconds And if it doesn't pull up easily put it back in for 10 more until you figure out with your microwave What temperature works well, but they should pull up just like this The wood's gonna be hot so take all caution and I'm just throwing the blocks in the sink until they cool off If you do it right the foam will stay on the back and it is sticky from the adhesive They used to mount it on the wood block.  So I know what people are in here and then I'm storing them in a box Which I'll show you in a minute. I'll be right back after I'm done and mounting all these stamps Hey guys, so you saw me doing a quick tutorial on how to unmount your rubber stamps I do want to give you some cautions So make sure that you don't do it more than 10 seconds at a time and that you keep an eye on the microwave And you don't walk away. We do not want to set anything on fire. How would I know that it's possible? Get guess. Well, I'll give you one guess. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah So be careful and also when you're handling the wood you may want to pull it out with a rag and Handle it that way the wood can get very hot. So please don't burn yourself. All right that being said I did unmount all of my stamp boutique stamps and put them in these blank DVD cases Which I talk about in the Viva Las Vegas stamps video I will post links for where to get the DVD cases and the bin that I'm storing them in in my art room in the description below I Did fit quite a few of the stamps in each DVD case and you can fit some on both sides and squeeze it shut if you have big Stamps in here like big background stamps. I have found that it's Better to cut these little things off here.  That way it doesn't poke into the stamp in this in this case I didn't have to do that, but I have done it on a few of the bigger Background stamps like did I do it in here? No, I did it in one of the Viva Las Vegas ones and I don't remember which one, but anyway I do also think I'm glad I did this because I do think that the stamp boutique Daniel Turrenti stamps I think they were much easier to get a clear stamped image Unmounted than they were on the wood blocks. I don't know what's up with that. Maybe it was just the way I was using them I have no idea, but I think they worked really well. I am going to like with my other ones where I don't have Product packaging to go in the outer sleeve. I'm going to put a label on the spine in case they use them in a Video tutorial I can tell you guys which you know at least which manufacturer the stamp is from So I'm going to put stamp boutique Daniel Turrenti on the spine with my brother p-touch label maker And then just like with my other stamps they get put into one of these quarter bins from Target These are $4.99 and on the outside. I always label which brands manufacturers or Types of stamps are in the box It makes it a little easier if I'm working on a project and I know I wanted to use a Daniel Turrenti You know figure like his mermaid in a tag or something I know exactly which box to go in and then I don't have to dig around so anyway This is a much easier way to store a lot of stamps in a very small space And as you can see by how full this bin is not You can get a lot of these DVD cases in one bin and Consequently a lot of stamps now. I do have a few stamps. I'll probably never unmount Like these two that say happy mail this one doesn't even have it on the outside, but I know it says oh This one says love this sorry this one says happy mail These are just ones I use unhappy mail envelopes, and I'll probably always just leave them this way It's just a little easier, but you know, you never know. I'm change my mind a lot Who knows anyway give it some thought if you have a bunch of wood mountain stamps that you really love and But they take up a lot of space in your art room think about unmounting them or at least trying it on one of them I did at one point all of my wood mount stamps, and I shouldn't have done that because I ended up not wanting to keep some Of them so if you have a lot of stamps maybe you need to do a purge first and decide which ones you really want to keep or not and then Think about unmounting them, especially if you have limited space. All right, that's it for today Don't forget to go out and have a great day do something nice for yourself because you deserve it, and I'll see you later
