and some new and familiar faces will make up the Bemidji City Council next year. Josh Peterson caught up with some of them to get their outlook on the coming year. 2019 will be the year for many changes in the city of Bemidji and one of those big changes will be the makeup of the city council. Last night residents re-elected Mayor Rita Albright to her fourth term in office. I'm feeling great this morning I'm excited that the voters in Bemidji sent me back to be mayor for another two years and I appreciate their support. With a new makeup to the Bemidji City Council Mayor Albright is ready to hit the ground running and tackle some key issues facing the city. I know that there are not only the infrastructure needs that we've talked about during the campaign but other things in our community that we're going to be working on together. Three new faces on the city council will join Mayor Albright in the council chambers with Emily Rivera representing Ward 4, Michael Beard in Ward 2, and Jim Thompson filling the seat of councilor at large. After a long season of campaigning they are ready to get to work. I really want to be looking forward several generations way down the road and how is Bemidji going to continue to grow? I think the one thing the city has to focus on is the infrastructure with the growth.  Both Rivera and Beard are looking forward to tackling the key issues and providing a voice for the people in their wards. That's what I'm looking forward to the most is kind of asking those questions and getting some of the answers to some of the things that I've heard people ask and to be able to bring those those issues to the forefront. City council is supposed to be a representation of your city and I think this new council is a great representation of Bemidji. But after a long and sometimes difficult season of campaigning Mayor Albright says it's time for the city to come together. There's always that time when we have to work together, get to know one another and understand you know what's the next best thing for the city of Bemidji. In Bemidji, Josh Peterson, Lakeland News.

Hello everyone welcome back to never getting the road to cyber resiliency a summit made possible by Dell Technologies Gil Hectis here remote from Tel Aviv Israel. Gil our first thoughts are with you and all the innocent souls in the region We hope you and your family are doing okay. We pray for your safety. Gil is the co-founder and CEO of Founder and CEO of continuity welcome to the program Gil Thank You Dave. Thank you for welcoming me Hey, why did you I love to ask founders this question? Why did you start continuity? So it was post 9-11 and companies Who hoped that they have a disaster recovery system in place and they're able to recover their data many companies found that they actually cannot because of various complexities related to data recovery and And so we started continuity in order to help them make sure that they can manage the risk related to business continuity resilience and and most importantly the ability to recover Yeah, it's it's obviously very important, right with the things go wrong and things always go wrong with technology You've got to be able to recover, but how has that I mean Post 9-11 I mean that a lot has changed and we learned we learned a lot about recovery, you know post 9-11 How has that sort of whole concept of your founding premise? How has that evolved over the last?  I gotta tell you you look good. Thank you. I'll have it in writing, please So so we started really by helping companies making sure they're able to recover the data and we worked with Literally hundreds of large enterprises to help them make sure that they configure their recoverability correctly and as Things started to pro to progress We started to understand that companies also have issues with their clustering and we hope to manage their clustering issues to make sure They also keep continuity. So, you know resilience is about Recoverability continuity and and we managed that for them for many many years as as as you mentioned And then a few years ago, we started to hear from customers That they are suffering from something new that was called the ransomware and we were not very familiar with ransomware at the time Originally resilience and recoverability was meant to recover from, you know an earthquake a major catastrophe maybe a human error and Then they started telling us those customers about the fact that they they need to prepare for ransomware and some of our customers even suffered ransomware and and when we started to learn Why is that happening? What is ransomware? What's really going on? We learned that the world of cyber security while it's very advanced and has lots of solutions Kind of ignored storage and backup for a very long time And and maybe I'll take it through, you know a few details on that If if you really look at At what people are doing for security of all the layers that they have in IT, you know all the way from firewalls networks Endpoints servers database servers web servers app servers you name it The most important piece is they securely configure this infrastructure In order to make sure that no matter what happens and no matter if a hacker comes or not They're gonna be ready things are gonna be ready Everything is gonna be secured properly and there is a name for that. It's some organizations call it secured configuration some organizations call it Security poster management there are all kinds of various names for it and when you look at what happens in in Backup and what happens in storage and what happens in storage management and backup appliances and storage networking and storage services on the cloud You learn that all those Processes and technologies are not yet implemented really in in Storage and in backup. So security and specifically secured configuration and security poster management Doesn't really exist in a central way in those areas And and when we started to learn more and more about it We understood why it happened. We understood all those things, but what we didn't understand is how come The single most important area of IT really and especially as it comes to cyber security and ransomware the real Where all the data is sitting, you know, if you look at the risk If if a hacker hacks an endpoint, right or a server It's very unpleasant. He can he can steal data. He can erase data. I can corrupt data. He can encrypt data It's it's pretty terrible, but it's really no big deal. I mean the organization has a backup They can recover the server and the server doesn't hold all that much information But if you look at the storage array or a storage management system or or the storage layer or the backup layer God forbid Every storage array will typically hold about a thousand The data of about a thousand servers and every backup Appliance can hold even more than that and in many cases those are managed centrally So if a hacker gets to the storage or backup area, you can literally wipe an organization clean There will be nothing left by the time he's finished so When we learned all that and I'm sorry for the long story, but It was exciting for us when we learned all that it it basically caused us to stop toward to stop what we are doing We didn't really stop. We continue to provide resilience management But it literally caused us to build a new business unit within continuity that will focus solely on the area of cyber resilience and and more specifically on the area of Security post-term management for storage and backup and that's really how storage guard was born so much to unpack there I mean we talked to a lot of CIOs and CISOs During the pandemic who said they basically echoed what you said Gail that they were thought DR Was their sort of business resilience strategy The other thing I'm hearing from you is that that backup and recovery were bolt-on it's sort of an afterthought Which we talk about all the time it can't be it's never effective when it's an afterthought and then of course ransomware Which was this new thing and ransomware itself has evolved and that's what I want to ask you about it Our understanding we talked a lot of organizations to say that it used to be they would you know encrypt And and then you know extort and now They're basically X-fil trading Yeah, and then they extort say hey, we're gonna release all this data So they they sometimes don't even bother encrypting And and then of course if you pay the ransom sometimes you get your data back sometimes you get the keys Sometimes you get you know some of the data back So what has been the progression just in this short period of time of sort of the state of ransomware? So, you know initially when we look a few years back initially ransomware Was really a very simple thing. It was like it was a virus that knew how to have infect systems It didn't really know what it infects and when it infected something it would encrypt the disk and give you this phone number to call or this Skype number to call or whatever this method or this email to email so that you'll be able to get the key to Unencrypt the data and that was you know, it was I would say It had a Significant effect on small and medium businesses, but it wasn't really a big deal for the enterprise because in the enterprise you can recover Everything has a backup no big deal Then hackers started to also leak the information sometimes as a way to pressure the organization and sometimes As a strategy to kind of get you know a bit more few more bitcoins out of this event It started to affect the enterprise in a significant way I think there were a few a few interesting events Maybe Sony was one of the most interesting ones But it really started to affect the enterprise in a significant way When hackers started to make those ransomware attacks much more sophisticated and Started to delete the backups as the first step before they go after production And suddenly from a nonsense that goes after SMB You have this major threat that can literally wipe an organization clean and this is dangerous and Hackers really learned that the data is in the storage and in the backup and you and you cannot even start from primary storage You literally have as a hacker if you want to get some money out of this and by the way, this is no advice for hackers So don't please me. It's I hope hackers don't watch this show So but but anyway if they understood that they want to get a few dollars out of it They really need to erase the backups before they erase primary storage or before they encrypt Their primary storage and when they started to do it, it became a major catastrophe And by the way, that was around the time in which we started to develop storage guard which is the product that we have to Help enterprises Guarantee secure configuration across everything that participates in storage and backup so that hackers a will not be able to get in and B will not be able to do much damage even if they manage to get in So we haven't actually talked much about product at the summit and in the series We're kind of little we're kind of jonesen for a little discussion on product. So what is storage guard? You've got very specialized expertise at continuity. What exactly is storage guide guard? Can you unpack it for a skill? Sure. So storage guard basically brings three key capabilities to the enterprise that that today are not really Widely spread. So if if you go and ask your typical You know chief information security officer, let's say if they currently do Whatever let's call it vulnerability assessment for for their it They'll ask the answer will be oh, yes, absolutely. Of course we do a vulnerability assessment for it We do it on an annual basis and we have a system to make sure that we are always securely configured And that's awesome. And then if you ask him, okay, that's great Are you currently doing vulnerability assessment for storage and backup? I mean, you have lots of components all the data is there It's very important that you're doing it and the answer is in 90 or let's say in 80% of cases the answer would be election in no and And in 20% of cases, it will be yeah, we do we have this in-house team that's working very very hard And and they're doing the research and they're writing signatures and they have DevSecOps people and they have Scrips and they're doing all kinds of stuff and and Yes, they make sure our storage and backup is secure and then if you ask all of them, but that's great But wouldn't you want the product to test your storage and backup and and and do all that automatically and enjoy the economies of scale Of a company that's doing it for all customers and not just for for you I mean, you don't need to have a team for that You don't have a team doing antivirus for you, right the answer in 100% of cases Of course, you are absolutely of course We want to have an external vulnerability assessment as opposed to an internal one and of course We want to have something that will keep our configuration secured at all time and that is that is exactly what storage guard does So it really has three key capabilities one it knows how to automatically detect CV ease in storage and backup and Provider mediation advice so CV common vulnerabilities. So to say or bugs in code that you may receive from various vendors or components number two we Automatically with storage guard detect security misconfigure misconfiguration and deviation from vendor best practice industry best practice security best practice security standard It's nice easy on what not and again provide remediation advice as well as automatic auto-fixing so to say or automatic remediation and number three we provide with all the compliance capabilities required by the enterprise to be able to exhibit to their internal auditors external auditors, etc that They are protected and the way they do it is by literally printing out All the checks they need for each system and subsystem With a check when it was checked all the details that we collected Which is basically the proof required to be able to prove you you are actually well protected And we put those product and we put this all this into a product. It knows how to scan every event every vendor In storage backup storage management storage networking storage services and this entire area So that's this is storage guard in a nutshell. I can keep on going for like two and a half hours Well, thank you for that detail because as I said before you've got very specialized expertise And I'm hearing you look back up in recovery. It can't just be a afterthought It can't even be an adjacency to cybersecurity.  I'm curious. How does AI? You know generally and specifically generative AI change that whole experience for your customers So generative is AI is an large language models It's an amazing revolution. It really is it's exciting. You know, it's exciting for us personally We all go to chat GPT. We all do crazy stuff with it We all integrate it into our products and this is awesome, but specifically in the security world it's an Unbelievable huge threat because if you look at how hackers operate today They use lots of manpower in order to be creative in how they attack the attacking enterprise and they use two main ways one is They they use social engineering Which is basically someone picks up the phone and and tries to convince someone to give him the password or some more advanced variations of that Sends an SMS with a link or stuff like that and the second piece is they generate code that tries to do either brute force attack Or try all kinds of penetrating Vulnerabilities zero day or non zero day alike the problem with gen AI or or the challenge that we all have with gen AI as security companies Is that it allows you to be to to be creative? At an infinite scale, so basically you can instead of hiring lots of people you can do gen AI and LLM to be infinitely Creative in both human engineering because you can generate any Any new message that you can not really trace or or locate and it can generate any piece of new Creative code that's gonna try to do brute force with a huge brain of having read all the internet so the problem is that suddenly every organization is becoming a Hundred times more exposed to very creative minds, which is not really a mind It's it's LLM and gen AI that's attacking it and I think If we thought that security is important until now security is gonna be ten times or twenty times more important Now the gen AI is in the hands of hackers and not just in the hands of you know My daughter who is being very creative with it, right? So my last question my understanding is you also have an investing background. Yes, right? I was a VC twice. Yes, and so you've got some interesting perspectives. I'm sure Israel startup nation I know you've got other priorities, you know right now as a nation But what are maybe some of the investing themes? Particularly they might be related to threats that people aren't thinking about so much if you had to sort of put on your You know the breakout the binoculars and think ahead think think about you know your investing Expertise what are some of the themes that you think are people should be paying attention to? in the coming years So I would I would say that in general there are two areas in which an investment is worthwhile insecurity and in general one is the forefront of technology Because if you captured the market early You're able to you're able to become number one or number two and grow very fast and become the de facto standard And that's why you see lots of this is chasing the Frontier even though nine out of ten companies will fail will miserably fail and burn a lot of cash. It still makes sense It's still a good investment the other side is you want to go after huge untapped markets Regardless if there are you know Ancient new or what not and take for example Uber right Uber is a great example Hex is not a new technology and even mapping wasn't a new technology at the time when they came up when they came about but the combination of internet and mapping enabled the taxi business which is Quite ancient so to say to become an amazing success and it was an untapped market that just enjoyed this A bit of new technology. So those are the two areas that I try to invest in at least in my spare time When I'm not busy with securing the storage. Yeah, I love that answer. It's not just about a particular technology It's about a framework of and a philosophy investing Gil Hex. Thanks so much for coming on the program really appreciate your time Thank you, Dave Okay, you're watching navigating the road to cyber resiliency, which is the summit made possible by Dell Technologies The analyst panel is next you don't want to miss this keep it right there


Well, look at that. I don't know if I shared with you guys how I Fix this, but I took the stuff called fuse it which is the same stuff. I used on the Astro turf on the roof and I just put down a bunch of cocking here in here and then put like a hundred pounds Sacks on it overnight Reinstalled it. It's working.  It's missing a piece in the middle. It's in the back. I'll show you why This is probably the wrong kind of cement, but I'm gonna use it anyways. It is a black PVC Adhesive this I'm gonna drill into the wall In the bus and then it closes. This is Where I'll be putting the water in there to fill up the water tanks to the left top left is a air vent all right, here is the Vent piece and I'm actually glad I did not glue it yet Because this has to fit through the other piece. So I'm gonna pause. I'm glad I didn't Didn't do that yet. That would have been bad. So I have this rigged up. It's gonna go this and This is the wrong size. So that actually will fit in there. Unfortunately. See that we don't want that We want it to go into this Tubing but the tubing is too large. See that? So what I rigged up was a double-sided thing It's basically this I'm gonna glue it. It's gonna fit inside Everything is gonna be wonderful and happy. I just have this piece of Thing there just to be extra secure. I guess probably don't need it. It's gonna go like this. It's gonna be glued It's gonna be awesome. It's gonna go Right up there that right there is my outline Vertical I got to cut through here. Let me show you the other side of that. See how level we are We are a little bit down from there No, no far So let's follow that around So we will be cutting out right here somewhere Right by the pizza emoji And that means I got a drill first and then I got to go to Home Depot and rent a jigsaw and cut through but I think first we'll just Take a drill and make four points there and then connect them afterwards since After rent a tool What is will be part of the work Here for being on the clock, you know what I mean? So I'm just gonna leave this So Always zoomed in and here we go. All right, let's drill All right guys, here we go here is the damage the damage is done And by damage I mean amazing this so I think I think I got lucky too because That could get in the way of this little plastic thing Right put it Right here Hopefully And I think I totally Lucked out. Look at that. It's gonna be nice and flush See that? Yes. All right, so I Have to go back to the hardware store. I've done like more than 10 trips in two days and I'm not Upset that I haven't brought you with me because that would have just been a Yeah, compared to very little work that I've done.  I'll see you guys back here. I'm back from the depot Turns out they don't rent jigsaws Obviously gonna myself Sheerly you can't be serious. So I got a pair of shears instead. Yeah, I don't really know if this is gonna work Perhaps perhaps not Perhaps perhaps not I'm gonna put this down for a second. So we have the ugliest hole known to mankind All right, here's the update. Definitely not the cleanest job Didn't have the right tools and it wasn't about to buy a hundred something dollar jigsaw Just to fix one silly thing here So that's what we're looking like right now Even just gonna back in the cell. All right, here's what it looks like It's kind of mounted Just for fun so Just kind of press it in there and get it back in there And then that shuts and then locks. So clearly I'm gonna have to put some kind of caulking adhesive silicone around the edges and Then on the inside If I can get up here Looks like I'm gonna have to cut out a little bit more of this bottom part there Possibly some of this wood too because My little attachment friend Is not going to fit like that. So Get out the drill again. All right proper size hole is drilled and the wood has been bored out a little bit for the down pipe next step I'm going to glue this to this here we go a little messy, but Think this is gonna work only one way to find out All right guys, this is what the setup looks like. I still have to put some silicone on the outside Well out for change shower today for shower they Know if I lock this Anyways, you guys get the idea though it goes into this grotesque looking hole that I made Just like so and then it will be drilled into place Here here here here here here here once this door is open and the Inlet right there is glued on with some threaded posing With it an adapter in a larger size, which goes down all the way right there so Then the pump takes water out of this corner right here It's a self-regulating pump And a little on-off switch is gonna go here, so that's it for right now Had another exhausting day tons of errands I'm super tired It's been a long day So I see you guys manana Once this is done I'm hitting the road again, and then it's back to the schedule programming of adventure of van life of traveling daily vlogs and Looking forward to a very exciting summer fall and winter and hopefully by then I can start to make money from this channel and Then I can be doing this indefinitely. All right. Thank you guys later


The following is a presentation of TFNN The power trading hour with your host David white Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> now David white and Welcome all to another Exciting addition of the power trading hour with me and it doesn't matter where me or you is as Long as we know the one thing that really truly matters that you're here at this time The following takes place between 2 p.m. And 3 p.m. So What do we have going on today? Well, I wouldn't look in for much of A movement until tomorrow and maybe even Thursday we'll get into that But certainly one day before Going into Did I do that Okay, I think I did do something here. Give me just a second here because I wanted to bring something else up So I need to get it started Okay That by doing that and we'll hide that Okay, now we're back to it Okay Come on.  Let's do this. I wanted to get into a few things I'm not going to do these in any particular order But first of all is CPI is on Thursday. I think there's a bit of Consternation around that number coming out Some of the other things that are going on that I wrote about in the newsletter this morning was Fay Which is Facebook? They've been kind of down a little earlier in the day Not very often that you see a company decide to take some poison And it's very interesting to me that Facebook would double down on being stupid I Said they drank the Kool-Aid this morning, which is probably an app way to discuss this They gap down on a lot when they did last week we talked about them actually having a bigger problem with the privacy issues in in Europe and of course They're gonna get kicked out so what do they do last night say that well we're just gonna have to leave and Everybody that loves our product that uses it in Europe. You should call up Your elected officials and give them a hard time because we're violating the law and they are But it's rare that you find a company Take on governments that have both armies and prisons Since they so blatantly Violate the law Over there about what data that can keep and what they can't keep It's kind of amazing that they try to go stick the thumb in somebody's eye My thoughts today were that this could blow out the bottom of Facebook And take the rest of the market with it. Oh, maybe over the next couple of days Certainly lower got to 218 11 for the low so far today But keep an eye on that because this is one where I think you're pretty much right here at the level where if this thing Goes a little farther It could just snap and the next move would be down to probably about 180 but keep a close eye on that but it's big enough in the indexes that it makes a difference and Basically when you get CEOs acting and incredibly stupidly and poking the bear Yeah It smacks of them believing their own press which isn't something you should never do other things going on also is In the bit con we've got to a new ETF that actually Is that the symbol on it? Yeah, don't let me get this back here I'm gonna organize stuff a little bit better here. Where is that? There it is Why is that not showing there it is? Okay WGMI and Valkyrie Bitcoin minors and the only reason I really like this is I've always thought that it has been one kind of sham after another In Bitcoin, but I do think now at least we have a way even if it's just in her day Or larger to go short Bitcoin and Larn and long But I thought it was kind of interesting the weasel I don't wouldn't call it a see a CEO Because it is a ETF with the fund manager saying something that was Not wrong But kind of silly in that, you know 80% of all the electricity used in these ETFs come from renewable energy Well, they did two years ago and they did four years ago And that's because the only way it makes any sense to turn electricity into bitcoins and make money is If your electricity is cheap you generally don't go to the most expensive place in the world that for electricity like running it off a Diesel generator and still expect to make money you go where it's cheap and that's the Nordic countries places that are north where you don't have to pay for Cooling because that's quite a problem all these things do is turn things into heat and To watch your electric bill go sky-high so they're next to Generally next to dams and stuff in Nordic countries or up to a dam or close to a dam up in Canada or Somewhere where the cost of electricity is very low. So not surprisingly They're selling it as a virtue signaling device. I don't think That makes a lot of sense since they were doing that for economic reasons long before this gal ever came along But yeah, if you want to short it WGMI the Valkyrie Bitcoin miners fund I wouldn't do it right away, but I'm gonna say is maybe they get to some place out there a little bit over the tips of their skis again You could buy it if you want to go long But probably a bigger issue out here and this is Bitcoin miners by the way not Bitcoin itself. So if this goes kind over the tips of their skis as many of these other I'm gonna say built-on sand kind of things do Go Where you can wake up one morning and find out all the people that you're investing in this one have just been Excommunicated by the governments where they live or where they at least operate You know, we saw China With a swipe of a pen run all of its Bitcoin miners out This could be something the same way so I'm more of a fan of maybe shorting this at Opportunity times than others, but there hadn't been a good way of really shorting Bitcoin This is the miners WGMI. It's supposed to be a ha ha ha thing We're going to make it if you want to try to remember it, but just a thought What else do we have here so that's kind of it as we look at the indexes So we go into the first break we're up 33 on the S&P cash stands next to three Bustles up That's what I want to get you to because I said to somebody earlier And I wanted to show everybody the options look like in the energy sector Grinding in the market, but seeing little to no return or are you a successful trader simply looking to make your job a little easier?

I know energies down today, but This kind of given indication that you may get a little bit of a pullback What you want to do is look at the hockey stick bins in these and that would suggest somewhere between 85 and 90 is where a kind of coat Phillips is going to expire At least they're thinking about it. Now again Tomorrow is Dalton neutral day. We'll see a lot more But it's down about a buck 50. My guess is that probably gonna pull back a little bit here I don't think it's the end of the world. I mean if you're long this saying at 55 No reason to sell it but because I think it's going to a hundred But certainly in the short term Over the next week week and a half probably gonna go back into the high in 80s Out here, maybe 87 maybe close at 90 On options expiration day, but it's gonna probably be somewhere in that line. I'll update it On Thursday after we get the Delta neutral data where this will change a little bit But yeah energy probably is kind of hit a short-term top But don't look for a lot of pullback in that side of the market other things going on what said do a little history and then we'll move on but My thoughts pretty much for the day so far As we go to history On this day in 2005 Google Maps is launched to the public I Never had to ask for directions again But yeah wouldn't want to ask for them before and of course now part of our daily lives and If that would be probably it that'd be the rest of the story but one of the reasons why didn't and still don't think a great deal about the CEO from Apple is that he pushed to have his version of this come out Google Maps had at one time 5,000 people working for it outside doing the mapping and had About 1,500 engineers writing the software for it but in 2010 as He became CEO The current CEO of Apple I mean He decided he wanted to have something to compete with them on iOS the Apple operating system for its phones so Where they had it, you know somewhere are we doing six and seven almost 8,000 people working on Google Maps at the time? He decided that he was going to appoint somebody and give them a whopping 110 people to do the same thing It did come out in 2012 after about two years later The head of the project told him it wasn't ready. They released it anyway Then the current CEO fired the gentleman for not doing it I don't that always said something to me about the character of That CEO and one of the reasons why I kind of figured out that he was for the most part an empty suit Give somebody an unwinnable job and then can them after they tell you that it's not ready release it anyway and then Blame storm him all the way until he is run out of the company But I always thought that was interesting when it came out, of course Apple iOS Maps would do all kinds of weird things like they'd look like they were melting like an old movie Things would move around on the maps It was never anywhere close to being ready and always wondered why they did it and why they fired the guy that was supposed to do it and Never gave him the resources We know what it took and it was an amazing amount of money To put into something like Google Maps, but now they make it back every day Ways is a little different that just takes everybody's data and maps Ways around traffic But that really just depends on you being able to give data back to ways and it doing something called the aunt I want to see what it's called. There's an algorithm, but it's Normally trying to find your way in an aunt colony kind of thing and then that kind of math goes back I don't know back to the 60s. Maybe maybe even longer than that, but yeah interesting, but ways just taking geodesic data, which is what it's called by the way and Allowing people to see who's moving where and fast, of course a lot of people especially in California very mad at ways Because it ends up putting a lot of people racing down back streets In residential communities, but yeah if you want to get around the traffic Especially if you live on the east side of Florida. I live on God's side of Florida Which is on the west coast 8 7 7 9 2 7 6 6 4 8 Other things going on of interest. We've got to uber and Lyft Lyft both of these companies have options That maybe They're more than 15% and maybe more like 20% Of an expected move No one knows which way it's going either higher or lower But I'm going to say that Everybody's expecting a massive move and generally the thing that these stocks do When there's that much money on the table is go nowhere at least for a little while tomorrow Everybody's this is kind of like the Super Bowl everybody's got their side and they're betting on it Let's take a quick look at uber But it is tomorrow, right? I'm pretty sure it's tomorrow To for earnings, right? Is it after the bell or is it on Thursday? Is it tonight after the bell tonight? Yeah, okay after the bell tonight, and I guess Next day or two for Lyft, but ubers tonight along with Disney Haven't looked at them for a while Disney not showing it quite to the same kind of range In fact the same's really gone quiet They could have a fairly massive surprise all on Netflix The news just does not get any better for these folks in Hollywood, and that's expenses are up talent is up Even things like script prices are significantly higher to get anybody that can write you know, they'd almost hire me at this point and of course, I Famously wrote dyslexia a cure for found But other than that not much going on out here in Disney, but uber Was a lyft February 8th.

Okay, we're on this apparently Apparently Skype is deciding to act rather Unwell today, so hopefully we're good. Anyway, we wanted to go back on to the TLT here I was looking for it to blow through the lows Looks to me like it's not going to do that. Maybe it'll do it tomorrow, but certainly The door is open today now to 134 48 That's the low with 20 million shares back on May 12th We don't have a lot of juice yet, but I think anything more down here is gonna open the floodgates of selling As I said, I suspect we're gonna run down Maybe try to consolidate a little bit around this 134 and a half 135 area As we get down there and then eventually we're gonna retest this 131 95 Especially if you're new to the stock market and you haven't seen the bond market be the the The equity market be the tail that's wagged by the dog certainly the at least The equity market is one-tenth or you could say the bond market is ten times larger in actual cash money that we have in fact in all the big pullbacks and Generally all the depressions that we've ever had or the near depressions that we've had The bulk of the money has all been lost and REITs and those REITs tend to have a lot of bonds in them So that when housing goes belly up those tend to be the ones That literally go out of business. We saw that pretty horribly in 2008 and early nine Where they had lots of insurance, but their insurance companies weren't worth crap when it came to backing up all these and they just all circled the drain like a double flush so keep an eye on that but It's very tough to have an upmarket with a down Market in the bonds or at least is the way they're shown the TLT yields higher rise prices fall prices rise yields fall Always enough to give anyone a headache eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight we got some other stuff going on here Let's see here because I know we got some emails So let's see what else we have Yes, the we've got a little bit of a meme stock stuff going on To to and but they're just spikes in a downtrend.  Peloton does not have a lot of short interest right now that everybody kind of got out When the rumors of them getting bought out were coming They do have a lot of interday shorts. They had about 35 percent short sales yesterday We don't know how many people covered those before the end of the day if they smart they did Because again, we had another pop here but this is This is one where people tend to short this thing in the morning and get run out fairly quickly But yesterday 30 percent pretty much There'd been some out here. You never know because you're always looking at least two weeks in the rearview mirror for the data from They cut the audited data from the exchanges on short sales And that gives people that are really heavily shorted About five days or so had noticed to get out of these or go after them So we're always a retail traders behind the this fact, but Peloton Yeah, it sounds to me like a lot of people got in back here at these lows gonna spread some rumors around and Probably ran whatever shorts that were out out But most of the people actually did get out of Peloton as a short before this bounce It was much More shorted four weeks ago than it is today and not that much. I think it's only got about I'm figuring maybe a day and a half or two days to cover so not that bad But what you do have is like this morning Everybody probably piled in short and got ran out before the end of the day Ah Okay That answers a couple of those questions What's going on with AMD and NVIDIA today some eyes that all been up a little bit, but all you are up to for AMD is the Kind of the downtrend line you got up there today volume is not all that exciting 63 million shares You had 81 million shares yesterday Again, not one of the stocks. I probably want to be short if things do turn around It probably will do much better. You know, it's a quick look at NVIDIA and then the SMH is NVIDIA a little less so really kind of sideways action on it No big volume. The SMH's were up about three bucks or so earlier in the day You got kind of a nice candle out here But again, there's not a lot of drive and that probably that drive is going to come Tomorrow and Thursday my guess is we're going to have a fairly big and wide day tomorrow that does happen as we said at the top of the hour on options expiration day Delta Neutral Day, that's when the Market makers decide to hedge out their positions completely and hope that whatever happens just slowly burns down To expiration and they get to keep all Whatever premiums are left in it, but they don't want to take any real Real problems on the other side of those so, you know, if they're long some stock Then they'll short the other side of that or if there's You know if they're on Puts on one side, then they'll go long the equity on the other and they'll box in whatever profit they have now that happens throughout the day It's not like they come in and go okay at two o'clock. We're going to do that They kind of are on almost automatically changing that with computers throughout the day to keep that Keep that ratio correct and even through options expiration you'll get a little bit of that But what we do have is everybody going and doing that tomorrow almost every month It is one of the all by average the one of the has the biggest trading range Of of the month, so it's pretty predictable and organic in the market But it comes down to just a math routine where they prove that Be in eight days before options expiration on the monthlies You don't want to have any Exposure on the last seven days so you get out on the the eighth before it eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight Other things going on in the market, I think we've got some other things here Okay, okay, Ronald wants to ask about the polar plunge That's somebody in the den that Brings that up from time to time, but it's a I don't put a lot of money into it, but certainly today You have kind of come off those highs for background But like I said on Monday kind of a big snooze fest starting tomorrow though I suspect business is gonna pick up Are you in the market for buying or selling real estate in the Bay Area including the surrounding St. Petersburg Tampa and Clearwater markets Tiger real estate LLC is a firm that has extensive experience in the Tampa Bay area whether you're looking to sell your current property for maximum value Or you're in the market for a second home or investment property Tiger Realty has the experience across all areas of real estate in the Tampa Bay area to help buyers and sellers make the Most informed decisions across all price levels from the price You should be paying per square foot in certain up-and-coming areas to the type of cash flow Investment properties are capable of creating Tiger real estate can help you make the best decision when it comes to all areas of the market Before you make one of the biggest decisions of your financial future call Tiger real estate LLC today at seven two seven three two nine 83 22 or email us at Tiger at TFNN comm that seven two seven three two nine 83 22 call us today The technology around us is changing every day with so much happening.

This is the old fire. I and They had kind of the most interesting I thought Security system But we're just never able to sell it I think mostly because they weren't the pick of Wall Street. They never got the money to Actually expand as they should have But maybe they're just a little bit or maybe we're a little bit before their their time other things going on in the market Is Todd who asked can you look at the barba? Baba Baba Baba in Yeah Well, you're basically kind of in a trading range around I would say the center is probably close to 125 out here Is anything gonna happen? With it. I don't think there's a lot going on I do know that if you read the Chinese the English Translations of the Chinese papers, which I do do There is a lot of flak coming their way from the chai comms you know in between selling organs and in in Slave labor unions and and Committing genocide the Chinese communists actually don't like Capitalism as much as they thought they did at one time and these guys are still Got both barrels pointed at them From Ali Baba By from the Chinese communists, so I would still say it's fairly rare I've said this before the Chinese stocks ever started to head lower And that was you don't want to be playing these things with anything other than options either up or down Because you never know what those guys are gonna say, but you know hundred bucks A hundred and twenty bucks you almost got down to one what 110 108 the low out here But I don't think you want to be in these stocks Kind of makes me think kind of the same thing with Bitcoin up at 50,000 is this the test of the top For the last time in those And we've pulled off that and it's gonna do nothing but sell lower I don't know you may get one more run at Bitcoin at 50,000, but since it's all pretty much run by People that have no idea about what's going on it could do anything. I kind of like more predictable stocks than this madman But that's it. Anyway, we're only up 13 points now on the S&P cash But not unsurprising as we talked about on Monday That the options really had collapsed on both sides. You kind of have to keep an eye on it but Not a lot of reasons to think that the market does a great deal before Tomorrow one of the downsides has been of course that The selling at the very end of the day Which is if you get selling at the end of the day almost always the big men of Wall Street When you look at the dark pool numbers those On Wall Street that got swamped by retail traders over the last 30 days are not so now This is the the Wall Street guy kind of back in control about that 8779 276648 I would have loved your phone call today If not just to break up the monotony anyway Yeah, Facebook blew through the lows here to 17 I don't know how long this a low this could go I did get a question during the break about what did Facebook actually do and There is a long and sorted list But probably the worst thing that Facebook did was people with dissident opinions were being doxxed and their addresses being given out by the people that Control that data over there in Europe and A lot of people I think one of the reasons why We see Peter Thiel leave the board on this one is he's just tired of trying to talk Zuckerberg into something that isn't back crap crazy Because I don't know if he's just evil and Mad or a combination of the two But my guess is that he is going to have big problems come in the future But yeah 217 and meta you don't get a bounce in three days after a move down like that There is something Extremely wrong in the stock for Facebook metamucil whatever you want to call it I Thought well, that's certainly the story That they're saying that he's going to do that. I don't think so I think it'll has a lot more to do with the fact that He gets paid like all the guys on the board and options and sees Kind of a Zuckerberg thinking that he's a kamikaze not a lot of future in that so I don't think so No, I don't think he's gonna be part of the Trump thing and there's a lot of conspiracies I would say it's just as true as the reason why the CNN in CEO left that was You know well because of that it wasn't it was because he had 10% of the viewers. He had a year ago that's why almost nothing we hear and in in In the news these days is reality. You always have to dig down and As Mark Twain said the truth the king are the ally can go around the world twice Before the truth comes out the front door, but yeah, it's the same thing When I first heard that I thought okay That's always the same thing.  We owe it to them. You always know that's a lie you always know that Since somebody had an affair with for five years and everybody knew about it suddenly it's the issue No, it is an easy way to fire somebody but the issue is not that it's the fact You had 10% of the people watching you had a year ago if anybody lost 90% of their business in the year they'd be gone It's a good way to get rid of them. So no, I don't think feel is that class Schwab, huh?  What's going on up there and you find out that it was a false flag thing they threw a shirt on and a flag on a on a statue and that's the Scracing this statue. Well, it was back to its old self in two minutes after they took the shirt off But now there's a lot of reasons why no one can tell the truth Generally because what they're doing is wrong. So yeah, I give it my hats off to the Folks in Canada the nicest people in the world. And when you know when they're ticked off There's something really ticked off.

So if it's not yeah, there's probably something digger to figure to dig down And there and figure out what's going on<PHONE_NUMBER> if you can call in the next 10 15 seconds Yeah, we're just back here to 500 Wasn't expecting a lot of movement Continue to watch Facebook if this thing just gaps away to the downside It could be rather horrible. You don't have a lot of volume today But not problematic, but you know, we're at that point with the TLT if that thing gaps down It's probably gonna suck everything with it Kind of like the end of the Titanic where everybody gets sucked down When the ship sinks, but yeah, does it look all that bad on the TLT? Just looks like the trend line that can continue on to 134 48 and then maybe even lower Of course the Fed will be out there a little bit. They're not quite done. They're not totally dead They're almost dead. They're mostly dead Princess bride reference there, but certainly you what were less than 30 days from the end of all Fed money going into the bond market Yeah, it's hard for me to think that that holds up through that. So I'm just wondering where everybody decides to They've got an organized retreat. When does that turn into a stampede? I think that happens in the next big gap lower. We've had one gap We've had a couple of smaller gaps my guess is One big get a big gap down walk into the morning. That's gonna tell us the jig is up The cast is died So when you cannot when you have to we will return tomorrow like that
