of the Texas Rangers, starring Joel McRae as Ranger Jase Pearson. Another authentic re-enactment of a case transcribed from the files of the Texas Rangers. Fictitious for obvious reasons. The events themselves are a matter of record. Before we bring you today's story of the Texas Rangers, let's talk a moment with Phil Harris and Alice Faye during a break in the rehearsal for today's Phil Harris Alice Faye show. Thank you, Bill Foreman. You know, folks, I welcome this opportunity to talk with you about the great lineup of stellar entertainment that's stored for you this evening right here on NBC. Right after tales of the Texas Rangers, Tallulah Bankhead will bring you all of her darling guest stars on the big show. And I know that she has some of your favorite entertainers with her today, and I hope you'll listen to the big show. And then, right after Tallulah and her guests, it's time for my show. The show... Our show. You could be right. Our show, the Phil Harris Alice Faye show with Frankie Remley, Brother William, Julius Abruzio, and little Alice and Phyllis. And don't forget the theater guild on the air, Phil. That's right, immediately following our show, you'll hear your favorite stars of Hollywood and Broadway in great plays on theater guild on the air. So we hope you'll stay tuned right here to NBC. Thank you, Phil Harris and Alice Faye. And now, here's today's adventure of the tales of the Texas Rangers. And now, from the files of the Texas Rangers, the case called the Ice Man. It is 3 a.m. on September 17, 1948. In a farmhouse nine miles north of Rainer, Texas, Helen Dryer wakes from a sound sleep, raises herself on her elbow, and listens for a moment. Then she leans across and taps her husband urgent down the shoulder. Wake up. All right, I'll get up. What's the matter? I don't hear nothing. Dead Dryer, farm road 22. The man's down in my kitchen. He's coming along the hall towards the stairs. I think he's heading upstairs, Sheriff. Don't try to stop him. I've got the stone balls. You're not going to know. No, no, no. Honey, do you see what he looked like? Sheriff reached the Dryer farmhouse 20 minutes after the departure of the intruder. He found Mrs. Dryer in a state of hysteria and sent her upstairs with her husband. After a cursory investigation, he immediately contacted the Texas Rangers and requested assistance. Ranger Jase Pearson was assigned arriving on the scene at 4.25 a.m. The Sheriff led him directly to the kitchen.  Yeah, I'm glad you called us, Sheriff. Looks like it might be the one we've been after a long time. I kind of figured it was. Wade broke into the kitchen and raided the icebox first. I can't get over that. Eating the family's food before he tackles a job. He's pretty cool. It's one of the things that's made him so hard to catch. Let's see if he's left another one of his trademarks. You looking for anything special, Jase? I've found it. What is it? Method he uses to trip the latch on the screen door. Pushes an ice pick through the screen. Does he always carry that ice pick with him? As far as we know he does. Cap Stinson over at headquarters calls him the Iceman. Iceman or no. I sure don't relish having him in my county. Fred, you'll have him around town for one more night anyhow. Oh, I would make you say that. It's part of his MO. Always hits two nights in a row in the same area. Fix House is pretty far from town and the second place is always on the opposite side of town from the one he worked the night before. Shouldn't be hard to nab him then. It's what we've thought for over a year now. We even know a couple of other interesting things about him.  And even knowing this, we haven't been able to catch him. So you haven't been getting any fingerprints on him then, huh? No. I sure wish somebody at least get a look at him. We've learned a lot about him since he's been operating but we still don't have any idea what he looks like. Well, maybe the dryers can tell us something. She ought to be feeling better by now. And just a second. This is on the floor. Do you have a piece of paper handy I can use to sweep some of it off? Well, here's a sheet out of my notebook. Add to the trick. Uh-huh. Thanks. Yeah, I thought so. What is it, Jay? May I smell it? I'd say it was snuff. So would I. Mr. Dreyer use it? Nope. Ted smokes cigars. Looks like we've just discovered another one of the Iceman's habits. And every time we do, we get just a little bit closer to catching him. I sure hope you're right. Let's go up and see if the dryers can tell us anything. Ms. Dreyer was right jumpy when I got here. Not much wonder either. She was the one first her to be moving around in the kitchen. How much money to get here? Over $80. Ted had just been to the bank. All right, if the ranger and me come in. Sure. Come on in, Sheriff. Can you help here? No, we think so. How are you feeling now, Ms. Dreyer? Oh, I'm still a little shaky. I don't think I'll ever sleep again tonight. The way he came right into this room. Now, honey, honey, it's all over. I know. I'm still so scared. Sure. Yeah, sure.  No, thanks. We'll just be a few minutes more. I've been thinking since it happened. Maybe I did wrong not trying to stop him.  A couple of people have tried. He's pretty handy with an ice pick he carries. Has he killed anybody? No, but he's come close. He gets cornered. He's like a weasel. You seem to know a lot about this fella. You're laid eyes on him. Well, then how did it... That's not hard, Ted. Our man's been operating for over a year in different parts of Texas, and the ranger's got a good idea of his M.O. M.O.? Modus operandi. It's the pattern habitual criminals follow on a job. Uh-huh. Almost like a signature. But what we really need is some description of the man himself. I wish we could help here, but it was right dark in our room, and he didn't use a flashlight. Well, I saw his shadow when he crossed in front of the windows. So did I, honey, but that's not what the ranger wants. We appreciate you trying anyhow. What do you figure we ought to do next, Chase? Be light in a few minutes. We'll see if there are any tracks to follow outside. You won't stand much chance of catching up with him this late. I know. We might get a line on something almost as important. The direction he took when he left here. As soon as it was light enough for trailing, we went outside. Back at the house, we found a spot where the thief had rested on the ground prior to the burglary. Near the front door, we discovered tracks leading southeast across the fields. I unloaded charcoal from the trailer, and the sheriff borrowed a horse for Mr. Dreyer. Tracks were easy to follow. After about three miles, we pulled up. Oh, charcoal. Whoa, whoa, boy. Yeah. What do you make of that, Chase? Looks like he stopped to rest again. The way the brushes crushed, I'd say he'd spent quite a while here. Yeah, and I don't figure it. Why would a man who just broke into a house stop so close to the place you're at? Could have been waiting for something. How far is the main highway from here? Pretty close, just over that ride. We'll see if the tracks lead there. Get up, charcoal.  If you're right about here's waiting for something, it could be he's got a partner with the car. Meet him on the highway at some special time. Maybe, but our iceman strikes me more as the type would work alone. Tracks look like they're going to lead right on to the highway, Chase. Supposed to do. Where do we go from there? See if he crossed the road. If he did, he might give us some indication of where he was heading. And if he didn't? That's something we'll have to try and figure out. Oh, charcoal. Tracks stop at the highway, all right? Uh-huh. Take a look over here. Well, Chase, it's a snuffbox.  Uh-huh, or something heavier. Sheriff, we just might have the answer to one of the biggest problems about our man. What's that? Transportation. How he gets back into town after a job. I don't follow you, Chase. Come on back here. There are these marks in the gravel. Yeah. What do they look like to you? Well, they could be tire marks. From dual wheels. Double spur to gravel where they started off. And up there where the snuffbox was, you can see where the front wheels turned. You figure he might have been picked up by a truck? It's a little too long for a truck. Could have been one of those big trailer jobs. Then the rear wheels wouldn't have traction. No, I got a hunch it was a bus that picked our friend up. Well, there is a bus due in town from this direction at 450. And make it pass here around 430, just right for the Iceman to make it. You mean he might plan his jobs around Buscatchel? It's possible. I reckon we'd better try to locate the driver who brought in that bus. That shouldn't be too hard. Drivers all change at Rainier. And we're going to get into town. See if you remember picking up a passenger at this spot. Hey, Chase. We could really be on to something. We've got a few other angles to check before we're sure. But if they pan out, we've got just one more detail in the Iceman's MO. And this might be the one that trips him up. We reached the Continental Trailways bus depot 8 that morning and located the driver who had brought in the 450 bus. He remembered picking up a single passenger eight miles from Rainier. But was unable to describe him. I left the sheriff in the depot restaurant and called Austin. Twenty minutes later, I had the information I needed. I joined the sheriff at the restaurant counter. Grab a seat, Chase. I ordered just some eggs and coffee. Told the girl to keep them hot like you got here. Thanks. Hey, Miss, you can bring the rangers' order now. Find out anything from Austin? Plenty. Every job the Iceman's pulled has been at a time and place where he could have used a bus to get back to town. Hey, then we are on to something. Yeah, and we're going to try to take advantage of it tonight. Thanks, Miss. Hey, Chase, how do you figure to work it? According to the Iceman's MO, he'll pick a house south of Rainier tonight. We can be sure it'll be somewhere not too far from the main highway into town. You reckon we can get him when he tries to board the inbound bus? We're going to try. Check the schedule. The early morning bus from the south gets to Rainier at 5.06. We'll be tailing it all the way in. It sounds like it might work. How far out do you want to pick it up? 15 miles ought to do it. But we'll make it 20 just to be safe. 20 miles. We'll have to be out on the highway at 4. I reckon we ought to leave here about 3. Uh-huh. We better go catch a few hours sleep now, Sheriff. I don't think we'll get much tonight. At 3 the next morning, the Sheriff and I drove south on the highway out of Rainier. It was still dark when we picked up the inbound bus at 4.17 a.m. We tailed it for 5 miles without seeing anyone. 10 miles from town and still no results. The 7 mile mark, the Sheriff leaned forward in his seat. Hey, Jayce. Yeah? Can you get a little further over to the right? You think you see somebody? I'm not sure. How about now? Yeah, that's better. Yeah, up at the top of the next hill.  Hold on, Sheriff. We're going around the bus. Then we're going to roll. You see him now? Yeah. Stay on your toes in case he makes a break when we stop. Right, Jayce. Get close to him. Watch out for that ice pick. I'll try not to get that close. Get ready. Well, can you beat that? A woman. I ought to kick myself. She had me fooled, too. There ought to be some kind of law against women wearing slacks. I reckon she works in the aircraft plant. And we'll let the bus pass us again. You might still be between here and town. What do we do if we don't spot him? Turn around and come out again. There's another bus due at 9.03. We'll pick it up at the same place and tail it. He's got to be around here somewhere and we're going to find him. The bus we were following picked up no more passengers on the way to town. We repeated the procedure with a 9.03 bus. Still no results. Little before 10 that morning, the sheriff and I walked into his office. I swear I don't understand it, Jayce. I just don't understand it. How come he didn't show up? That beats me, Sheriff. For a year or more, a man operates a certain way. He picks off two houses and two consecutive nights. I don't know. Maybe I was all wrong about that bus routine. No, I don't think so. Once you figure his pattern, it's laid out too clear. Couldn't be only coincidence about his robbing houses near the main highway just an hour or so before a bus passing. I guess not. But if taking a bus into town is part of his ammo, where was he? No robbery reported last night. Could be he decided to lay low for a night or two. That doesn't figure either. He was scared the night before, made an $80 haul from the dryers and never even knew they were awake. Yeah. Looks like he might have cleared out. What are your plans now, Jayce? I reckon I better start back to headquarters. Cap says he's got enough work lined up to keep me busy a month. Well, I'm sure sorry it didn't pan out. I sort of had my heart set on helping to haul in that little weasel. Well, keep in touch with us, Sheriff. If you hear anything, give us a yell. A sure will, Jayce, and thanks for everything. Come on, Sheriff. Sheriff home. Yeah? What? Wait a minute. Jayce! Oh, Jayce! Yeah, come here. All right, now give me that again. I see. Sure. Okay, we'll handle it. So long. What's up? Reckon Cap's tents won't have to get along without you for another day. I don't think you'll want to leave now, anyhow. Why not? Our man did hit last night. Robbed an old fellow named Earl Sweezy, 10 miles south of town. I guess I was wrong about that bus routine, after all. Maybe. But I got an idea last night with something new for your ice man. He stole the old man's car, used it for his getaway. I wonder what made him break his ammo like that? I reckon he had to get away fast. What do you mean? He stabbed old man Sweezy with his ice pick. In just a moment, we will continue with Tales of the Texas Rangers, starring Joel McCray as Ranger Jayce Pearson. Have you ever stood on a western plane and watched the black funnel-like cloud of a tornado sweep across the countryside? Have you ever seen the destruction left in its wake? Whenever and wherever disaster strikes, your red cross must be prepared. Prepared to care for the injured, the homeless, the destitute. Following the sweep of a tornado, the raging waters of a flood, the blow of a hurricane, the need for help is immediate and urgent. If you are there on the scene, you will certainly do all you can to help. But even if you are hundreds of miles away, you can still answer the call of the victims through your red cross. For you, all of us are the red cross. Our red cross sets up shelters for the homeless, provides food and clothing and medical care. Then when the danger has passed, our red cross stays on for the long and expensive job of rehabilitation, rebuilding shattered lives and homes. Many people lack the resources to make a new start after disaster losses.  Give and give generously to the 1952 Red Cross Fund Drive. And now the second act of Tales of the Texas Rangers. We continue now with Tales of the Texas Rangers and our authentic story, The Iceman. We left immediately for Earl Sweeney's farmhouse. On the way, the sheriff told me as much of the stories he'd heard over the phone. The old man had surprised the intruder and struggled with him before he was stabbed twice in the shoulder. When we pulled up to the house, the doctor was just leaving. He informed us that Mr. Sweeney was not badly hurt and was waiting for us. Well, sheriff, come in, come in. You two are injured. Thanks, Mr. Sweeney. Earl, you shouldn't be walking around with that bad shoulder. Now, sheriff, don't you be talking like that, doctor, telling me to stay in bed. It'd be more to death staying in bed. The doc said you did lose some blood. And I've got a lot more. It takes more than an ice pick to be letting all the blood out of old Earl Sweeney. We'd like to ask you a few questions about what happened last night. I didn't expect to be wanting to hear the whole thing just the way it occurred. Come into the kitchen with me. I want to show you just the way things was when I surprised this boy. Oh, we can stay right here for now, Mr. Sweeney. I think you'd be more comfortable. Oh, don't be spoiling the excitement from your ranger. I've been looking forward to telling you about this. Ever since you let me know you was on your way out, will you be coming with me? You fought with the burglar in the kitchen? Not I did. I was up in the bed, sleeping sound as you please, when I heard the rathen and the shuffling down here. What was this, Mr. Sweeney? Now, I wouldn't be knowing exactly, ranger, but I had a feeling it was some time after three or four o'clock. Here we are. I've left everything the way it was, except that I've cleaned up a little bit of blood that was in the floor there.  I'm proud to say I did. If it hadn't been for that ice pick he was so fond of wielding, it would have been a different story altogether. What happened after you heard him down here, Mr. Sweeney? Yes, well, I come down the stairs easy, like, and when I got to the kitchen door, what did he suppose I'd seen this fellow doing? He was probably eating. Ah, somebody already told you about it. No, Mr. Sweeney, that's the way this man operates. Breaks into a house, eats, and then takes whatever money he can find. Is that so now? Well, well, I'll be quick about telling you the rest, ranger. I could just make out this fellow, sitting at the table, eating.  Next thing you remember, I come to, and it was a bright daylight. I got up, and I made it over to Hank Flowers Farm. Don't you have a phone here? Never felt the need of one till now, Sheriff. Did you get a look at the man while you were fighting? Well, no. Ranger, that's hard to say. I seen him, and I didn't. What with his being so dark and all. Well, could you describe him? Well, the most I could say is about the size of him. He's right, and quick, quick. Oh, he was quick as a scared rat. Well, there's something else I forgot. What's that, Mr. Sweezy? The eyes of him. The eyes. I expect that was the only part of his face I've really seen. Me, nice. Looked at you the way a bobcat does when you get him cornered. Uh-huh. You think you'd be able to identify him if you saw him? As I said, I seen him, and I didn't. But I'm thinkin' I could identify him. We heard in town he stole your car. Is that true? It is, and I'm glad you asked me, ranger. I got it right off the... Thanks. That'll be all for now, and you better take it easy for a while with that shoulder. Oh, don't be worried about me. I'll be ready whenever you need me again. I hope that'll be soon, Mr. Sweezy. We put out a tracer on Mr. Sweezy's car. Around noon of the third day, the car was found covered with brush off a small dirt road near Route 190. We were checking the area when I received a radio call. KTXA, the unit 10. Unit 10 to KTXA. Go ahead, KTXA. Iceman has been located through the standard M.O. check in town of Delaney. Reported breaking and entering during early hours this morning. Delaney, that's 50 miles north of here. 10-4, does KTXA know exact location of crime with reference to center of Delaney? House belongs to a Brian Edwards. Location 12 miles east of town. 10-4, this unit will proceed immediately to Delaney. Unit 10 clear. He's already here east of town. Should be west for his second strike. Want to tail a bus again tonight, Sheriff? If it means another crack at this ice man, you just try and stop me. Let's get rolling, Jace. In Delaney, we checked the bus schedules and learned there was a continental trailways local inbound from the west at 457. By four, we'd intercepted the bus and started tailing it toward town. At 425, we spotted a man standing at the side of the road a quarter mile ahead of the bus. He passed the bus and pulled up 10 yards from the man keeping him in our headlights. He made no attempt to run as we got out of the car. I saw him throw something over in the brush, Jace.  We want to talk to you. The bus is coming. I've got to get in town. Wave the bus on, Sheriff. Look, what you're doing, I've got to get on that bus. We'll give you a ride into town. You've got no right to do this. What's your name? I don't have to tell you nothing. I asked you where you live. I want an answer. Dallas. What are you doing out here tonight? Maybe I've been visiting a friend. Your friend to have a name? Look, you've got no business asking me questions like this. Risk him, Sheriff. You keep your hands on me.  Looks like the beginning of pay, Dirk, Jace. Box of snuff. Wallet pull of money and a pair of cotton gloves. I want to use these gloves. My gloves? I've got to write to you as many as I want. I've done the law a little better.  I don't know what you're talking about. See if you can find it, Sheriff. I'll find it if it's the last thing I do. Now look, how long are you going to stand out here asking me questions? Until we're finished. Where were you tonight? I told you before. Visiting a friend. Who? Maybe I can't tell you. Maybe she got a husband. Jace? Find it? Yeah. Sharp and shiny. How many houses you break into with this, Tagger? I never saw that before. I don't think I'd claim it either if I'd stabbed as many people with it as you have. You're wasting your time. You promised me a ride into town. Am I going to get it? Yeah, but not to the town you think. You're going to get a ride a long way back to a town called Rainer. We arrived in Rainer around 10 that morning. We locked Tagger in a county jail and contacted Mr. Sweezy. We told him we wanted him to make an identification and arranged to have a special show up in the cell block. Tagger and five other men were to be presented to him in the hope that he could identify the man who'd entered his house. Come on in. We've got the six of them over there in one cell. Fine. This'll be fine, Mr. Sweezy. Wait here while the sheriff brings the men out. I'll have them out for you in a second. Ranger, if I'm not able to identify this man, do you have enough on him to send him away anyhow? Maybe. But without identification, a good lawyer could get him off. All right. All right. Come on out of there. Come on and stop talking. Now form a straight line in front of the cell. Get moving, all of you. Get a little closer now, Mr. Sweezy. Maybe these men look familiar to you? Yeah. I'm not able to say for certain, Ranger. Just take your time. That one. Start from the left. That might be him. You. No, the next man. Step out. How about it, Mr. Sweezy? Maybe if he was to talk. Anything special you want to hear him say? Maybe if he was to say, I'll get you. That's what he said when we was fighting. Let me hear you say, I'll get you. Look, what is this? Say it. I'll get you. Maybe if he was to whisper, that's the way he says when I heard him. Whisper those same words. I don't know how. You heard the Ranger whisper. I'll get you. Mr. Sweezy. I can't be sure. I just wouldn't want to be saying it. Thanks anyhow. Sheriff? Wait a minute. What is it? I was just remembering. In the fight the other night, just before he put the ice pick in my shoulder, I had a hold of him and I scratched the back of his neck. Are you sure? And wasn't I almost forgetting? If that's the man, you'll have the mark of my fingernails across the scruff of his neck. All right, you. Turn around. Look, what are you trying to do? Turn around.  Ranger, it is him. That look he got in his eyes just then, he didn't have eyes any places. Him for sure. You did it. I'm engaged. I'll kill him. Come on. Get out of here. Let's get back in that cell. I said in the cell. You can't put me in it. I love it, Sheriff. I'll get out. That is all you want, Tagger. It's going to take more than an ice pick to get through that door. In just a moment, we will tell you the results of the case you have just heard. Hello, friends. This is Jack Park. I'll be with you later this evening with a $64 question, but right now I'd like to remind you about some of the other great shows this evening on the NBC radio network.

So for those of you all that were actually paying attention to that Discord group chat today, I wasn't really active and I didn't actually trade today. And I sent a message early on in that chat saying that my cousins from Greece were actually visiting me today here where I'm from in the South Jersey, Philadelphia area. So I took the day off to really show them around, you know, we went to Philly, we went, you know, the whole city hall deal, we went to the Liberty Bell, you know, we went to Chinatown, Old City, we went to the Rocky statue, the art museum, we did a bunch of touristy things today. And I really wanted to just show them around today. So I took the day off from trading and I kind of was inactive in the group chat as well. So I do apologize for all you guys out there that do, you know, value my opinion and do want me to be active in the chat. It will be all back to normal tomorrow. I'll be back in that chat. I'll be back to trading to help you guys with whatever you guys want to do and give you my personal perspective on everything. But again, you know, I just took the day off today to show them around because this is the first time from Greece that they actually have ever come to the US. So I wanted to welcome them and, you know, really just show them around. So again, I hope you all understand and I do apologize for being inactive today in the group chat. But, you know, now that that's out of the way, let's talk about what happened today in the overall stock market. So the Dow Jones guys, you know, we always talk about market updates. We always talk about, you know, the Dow, the S&P and the NASDAQ to understand where the market is pushing so we can really decide what we're going to be trading for the coming days and for the coming weeks. So the Dow Jones today, guys, was up about $82 up about 0.35%. So for all you guys that have been watching my videos for a while now, I've been talking about this Dow Jones channel that we see here from these trend lines, right? We notice on October, the beginning of October, we all know the stock market was a terrible, you know, terrible market in October, right? We notice here the beginning of the, you know, October, we were at $27,000 and we tanked all the way down literally to $24,500 in the matter of one month. And we popped up here, made a lower high, which is pretty much telling us now that the Dow Jones is now, you know, downtrending in price. We've bounced at the support level here. We popped up again, made another lower high from the previous, but we always kept the support level, right? And the minute that we broke below the support level, we made a lower low and the continuation of the downtrend, you know, pretty much continued, right? We noticed this was actually a couple of days ago, I talked about this in a video called the Dow Jones Breaks Critical Support. We held the support here at $24,500 on three separate occasions here, here and a little bit last week before we did have that big drop, I believe on Friday, we lost 500 points. And this past Monday, yesterday, we lost another 500 points, putting the Dow Jones down about 1,000 points in a span of two trading days. And that put us at the bottom of this channel, since we made that new lower low, it put us at the bottom of this channel that we see here from these red trend lines. So what I was talking about in yesterday's video and what I personally expected to happen, which actually did happen today, was that the Dow Jones was either A, going to have a consolidation day because we had two straight days of 500 point losses, or B, we were going to have a little green day today. So, you know, we actually had a green day today, which was a very good sign that we're holding this support level at the bottom of this channel on this channel that we do see here from these trend lines. And this is telling us either one of two things, right? We're going to be holding this support, maybe consolidate for another day and slowly start to push back up, maybe back up to that resistance level at the 50 simple moving average, or we're going to consolidate here for another day or two, and then make another lower low, which again is not a very pretty sign is not a good technical indicator for the Dow Jones, but anything is possible in the markets that we're in, especially with all the uncertainty with Trump, with China, the tariffs, the interest rates, the slowing down of the growth in the economy, you know, the yield curve curving in, you know, this is some people think that this is a recession indicator, you know, there's a bunch of uncertainty and I talk about this all the time that the markets hate uncertainty and when there's uncertainty and we see, you know, slow sell offs, you know, the panic starts to come in, we slowly start to sell off, and then it's like we jump off a cliff, right? We sell off rapidly at that point. We've seen this happen a bunch, right? We see the Dow Jones slowly start to fall 100 points, 150, and then all of a sudden five minutes later, it's down 500 points, right? This is what I call panic selling. So the fact that we still have panic in the markets, I do see more red to come. But on a technical basis right here, guys, like I said, you know, I wouldn't be surprised if we did have, you know, a bounce back day, a consolidation day tomorrow and maybe another green day or two due to us being at the bottom of this channel here. And you know, the RSI on the overall Dow Jones is telling us that it is slightly oversold right now, right? And the RSI level is one of the indicators that we use here, right? And it stands for Relative Strength Index. And pretty much how this works, guys, whenever these lines are closer to the 30 level right here from this yellow bar that we see, that means that stock ETF index is more oversold. It might be a point in time where that index stock ETF might start to see some more buying power and start to push up in price, right? But on the flip side, if we're over here by the 70 level, you know, like we were back here a couple of days ago, right, a couple of trading days ago, this could indicate that the Dow Jones is overbought, you know, and this could indicate that we might be selling off soon, right? And this is something that I personally use, but I always talk to people and tell them not to use one indicator to base your decisions off of, right?  So what I personally think is going to happen, guys, you know, again, like I said, we're going to be holding this support in my personal opinion. And we might see another green date tomorrow. And if we don't, guys, we're going to be shooting down for another lower low. And that's just not going to be good. And I think there's going to be a lot more panic selling if that does happen. Because take a look at this, guys, not only did we consolidate at the bottom of this channel, we're consolidating at a support level, a very critical support level from back here in March and April of 2018. I've been talking about this in the past couple of videos as well. These are critical levels here because last year, not last year, about 10 months ago, 10, 12 months ago, we saw a very similar situation, right? We topped off at 2700, right here on the Dow Jones. And then we saw a nice correction for about a month and a half, two months, all the way down to the support level. And this is literally like history repeating itself, right? We hit this resistance at 27K just in the beginning of October. And now we're seeing a very aggressive sell-off again. And if we break below, this support here, guys, again, at about $23,500, which we're pretty much at right now, right? That's not a good technical signal whatsoever. And from there, guys, the Dow can literally fall another thousand points in my personal opinion until we find a new support level from pretty much a couple of years back at this point, right? If we do fall here, the next spot we really could go to in my personal opinion, guys, could be $22,000 or not $22,000, like $23,000 potentially, right at this level right here. This would be the next spot where I could see the Dow Jones going before we do see some more buying power. And the whole idea here, guys, is to draw your trend lines, draw your supports, take a look at every single timeframe and understand what the trend is telling you. And this, again, will help you decide what to trade in the stock market. So taking a look here at the S&P 500, very similar situation. If we're looking here on the three-year, one-week chart, we actually plowed through those support levels from this past February, March. And if we take a look at the one-year, one-day chart, we'll see this on a better perspective, right? Very similar situation. We saw that sell-off, that correction from $2,870, all the way down to this level at about $2,575. Very solid support here and here. And the fact that we broke below that, I believe yesterday and on Friday, those two bloody days in a row, that is a very bad technical indicator for the S&P 500 as well. So in terms of a technical standpoint, guys, the S&P is actually looking way worse than the Dow Jones, because the Dow Jones is still at that support level from this past February and March while the S&P actually already broke below it. So very interesting spot right now for the S&P, guys. I do see the S&P potentially falling to $2,450. And this is a bold statement, guys. I made a video on this yesterday. But the fact that we do have, again, a ton of uncertainty, a ton of, you know, people just scared, panic selling in the markets, I don't see it too far-fetched at this point that we do reach this previous support level at, again, around $2,450, which would put us right at this 180 simple moving average on this three-year, one-week chart. This could be a point in time, guys. If we do get to this level, right, this would be pretty much pushing bare territory for the S&P. Honestly, it might even be in a bare territory. Being down 20% at this point, right, you can see it right there. If we do get to that level, guys, of $2,450, the S&P is going to be down 20% from its peak. And for those of you guys that don't know, if we're hitting 20% down in terms of from a peak and a stock market index, that is what indicates a bare market in the stock market, right? Because anything, you know, 10%, 15% loss from the top, that's considered a correction, right? And this is what we saw this past February and March, right? We took a hit from 28.75 down to about 25.70, and you can see it right there, guys. That's a 10% hit. But now, right, we're pushing about, you know, 12%, 13% hit as of right now. And again, if we do get to these levels, that's going to be pushing us into bare territory, which is not a good sign whatsoever. But again, if you're playing both sides of the spectrum, which I talk about in pretty much every single video, meaning that you're trading stocks, you're playing options, you know, when the markets are going down, while buying positions, buying quality companies for the long term, you're pretty much in a win-win scenario, right? Because if you have a winning strategy in the stock market trading, you're making money in the short term, but, you know, the stock market's falling, you're buying companies, solid companies, and you're going to be making money on those companies if they turn out to be good companies, right, in the long term, right? So both sides of the spectrum, guys, is a very important way to be doing things right now, you know, in my personal opinion.   When you're trading, when you're investing, you do not want to be spoon-fed, guys.  That's kind of how I view it sometimes, you know, you lose sometimes, you win sometimes, and it always has you coming back for more, at least that's how I'm personally, you know, I never take a loss and say, screw this, I quit, I'm always coming back, guys, I'm persevering, and you know, I hope all you guys out there are the same way. Don't get discouraged if you take a loss, if one of your investments does crappy, you know, use that as motivation, use that as fuel, use that as a learning tactic, right? To push yourself to the next level, because if you don't quit, you will eventually see success, guys. I promise you that, you know, unless you're just lazy, unless you're just not putting in the work, you know, you're going to see success, whether it be in a year, two years, five years, you're going to thank yourself for investing in the stock market, especially investing if you're looking 10 years out from now, because the economy is going to be way better, you know, the Dow Jones could potentially be at 50,000, who knows, right? You know, you're going to thank yourself, trust me on that. So let's take a look at the NASDAQ right now, guys, you know, very similar situation, we took the hit back in February, we actually took a nice, was this actually back in February? Yeah, it was, we took a hit in February, we actually pushed up to a higher high in terms of the NASDAQ, and now we're testing the same levels from a couple of months back, right? We could see that here on the one year, one day chart, you know, pretty much we're actually at the support level right now, you know, we broke below this one, we pretty much broke below this one, excuse me, and now we're holding this one from back in, you know, early April at about $6,400 and about $80-ish, $6,410, $2,030, right around that range. And again, guys, if we break below this, that is not a good technical point at all in terms of the NASDAQ, but you know, we all have to play this by ear and just see what's going on, you know, every single day to really understand the overall trend and see what is going on in the overall markets. But taking a look at the closer picture here, guys, we broke below this, you know, shorter term support at about $6,500 today. So, you know, we could see a bounce back date tomorrow potentially, right? Especially since we saw Apple have a strong day today, up $2, we saw some of the tech stocks do very well. So, just keep an eye, guys, especially since most of these indexes are oversold, we could see another green day tomorrow, maybe even the next day as well before, in my personal opinion, continuing this correction, heading deeper and deeper and closer into bear market territory. So, now let's talk about some stocks and ETFs that I'm watching for the rest of this week and for the rest of 2018. So, I'm not going to hold you guys too much longer. Let's go quickly into these and see why I see potential in them. So, the ones I want to talk about right now are these crude oil ETFs and they've been very interesting plays. So, for those of you guys that don't know which ones I'm talking about, I'm talking about UWT and DWT. Obviously, today, guys, crude oil tanked yet again. And for those of you all that have been paying attention to crude oil in general, right, this is a commodity, right, this is a future that pretty much lost one of the biggest values that it has ever lost in the past couple of years. From this point here at 76, all the way down to $50, guys, we lost about 30% in terms of crude oil. And again, this is one of the biggest drops that we've seen in years in crude oil. And we were pretty much consolidating and holding this channel here between $50 and, you know, $53-54-ish dollars. And I was talking about this in one of the previous videos, how at this point, guys, either one of two things was going to happen. Either we were going to break out of this resistance and start to uptrend in price and start to reverse to start to test, you know, the previous highs of 60, 65, 70 and slowly start to scale up, or we were going to break the support here and continue to downtrend. And I believe it was yesterday or on Sunday night when the futures markets opened, we saw that crude oil broke the support here at $50. And again, that is not a good technical indicator. And that's pretty much telling us from a technical basis that crude oil is going to continue to downtrend. And, you know, that's exactly what it ended up doing today, guys. It was down about $434 today, which is why UWT got slaughtered, and DWT had a 20% day pretty much, right? Crazy, crazy day in these crude oil ETFs. And pretty much what I'm watching for tomorrow, guys, is to see if we can get a potential bounce back play on crude oil. If we're looking at this from a technical basis right now, we obviously push to a lower low. We're oversold on the RSI level. And pretty much every time that we've pushed to a lower low, it seems like we get a pushback up, we get a recovery day. And that is what I'm looking to capitalize on for crude oil tomorrow. And am I saying this is going to happen 100% and am I saying that crude oil is going to bounce back up tomorrow? No. This is why we have to keep an eye on it and pretty much play things by ear. But I do think and see potential for crude oil to slowly start to push back up. And we already see that kind of happening right now, right? We see the two big red candlesticks from the big sell-off, and now we're seeing a green candlestick start to form here. So the fact that, you know, we do see this green candlestick, I wouldn't see it too impossible to get back into the 47 range tomorrow, right? And this would literally give us a solid trade on UWT solid potential. And obviously, we're going to be playing this one by ear. Let's say, for example, tomorrow, you know, we open up, right? We open up and we see crude oil already up into the 47 range. Well, at that point, you know, we might be able to play UWT if we slowly start to push back down and get rejected at this range, right? Because, you know, if we're not able to catch the move in crude oil within the 9.30am to 4pm trading session, right? Because these moves can happen overnight. They can happen at 4am, 6am, where we're not able to trade, right? You know, these are things that we have to keep into consideration. So we have to see if we're not able to catch that move, let's say by, you know, if we're lucky, let's say we do end up being able to catch that move up at the bell, right? At 9.30am, at the open of the market. I think UWT could be a nice bounce back play. But if we're already up here, you know, at the bell, let's say we missed that move in UWT, it'll be a great opportunity to play UWT if we're slowly starting to reverse and continue that downtrend in crude oil. So again, it's all about playing it by ear and understanding what the technicals are telling you. So that's what I'm looking at in terms of these crude oil ETFs. We can see it here. You know, it got killed, guys, down 20%. Obviously, UWT is nearly up 20%. So what I'm looking to do here is pretty much just play the pullback on DWT, which is going to send up UWT. And it's all about timing and seeing what crude oil is doing, you know, really towards the market open, right? So crude oil, DWT, UWT, looking at those very, very closely, you know, the gold futures are looking very good right now as well. So we had that pullback, we bounced on this previous resistance, which is now a support. And now we're testing another resistance here on the gold futures. So if we're able to break out of here, guys, I think Jnug is going to be an absolutely fantastic play. Jnug did very well today, I believe. Let's take a look at what that one did today. Had an 8% in day. So the fact that the gold futures are at a resistance, I believe that if we break out of that resistance, Jnug is going to have another run, you know, but I do see a pullback coming before we do potentially have that run. But if we do have that run, guys, you know, expect Jnug to maybe get back to the $9 range to that $10 range, especially if the gold futures are able to, you know, continue this uptrend pattern that they're on. I'm going to be keeping an eye obviously on these market ETFs as well, like I have been pretty much since the beginning of October due to all this volatility that we've been seeing in the market. So since I do expect, you know, potentially another bounce back day tomorrow since we're at the support on the Dow Jones and, you know, since we're, you know, really oversold on the S&P as well, you know, I'm potentially going to be looking to play, you know, TQQQ, right?  But vice versa, guys, let's say we do end up breaking that support tomorrow and in the Dow Jones and, you know, continuing to sell off in the overall markets, I'm going to be playing TVIX. And this TVIX ETF, guys, has been my moneymaker over the past couple of weeks. All of the trades, pretty much most of my trades, obviously not all my trades, but I would say about 70% of my trades have been in TVIX over the past couple of weeks. So playing it by ear, guys, looking at the pre-market futures, what is going on in the stock market? What are the large caps looking like pre-market hours are really going to determine what market ETF we're going to be playing? Are we going to be going long on TVIX, meaning we're betting against the market? Or are we going to be going long on TQQQ? Pretty much meaning that we think the market is going to be going up that day. So, guys, TVIX and TQQQ, just keep an eye on these. They really do well in situations with very high volatility, which we've been in. So keep an eye on those ETFs. Those are the main ones I'm going to be trading, guys, tomorrow. Pretty much TVIX, TQQQ, DWT, UWT. And I really like Jnug, guys. I really like Jnug if we're able to break out of that resistance on the gold futures and obviously large caps as well. So let me give you guys a scenario. Tomorrow, if we do end up pushing up pre-market hours, if we do start to see some buying power, some push in the S&P, which has been getting slaughtered, we do see some push in the Dow Jones, and we do see some push in the NASDAQ, this could be a good indication to play some of the large caps, whether that be Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Google, Microsoft, just to name a couple. These are stocks that are going to benefit if the market has a couple of strong days in a row, if we do see some push in the overall market. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video.

Our job is to develop digital representation for ST Foundation IPs so that the product design teams in ST, they can implement and verify their chip completely. Amongst the many reasons that I see, there is a vast exposure to learn. Circuits, chip implementation flows, EDA tools. And also there is a strong sense of empowerment to meet the customer needs. Understanding the customer requirement based on different product application and good knowledge of EDA, standard EDA tools and methods. And also there is this learning about, you know, managing complex operations with different stakeholders who have sometimes very differing needs. And then conflicting too. Yes. The three skills, customer focus, problem solving, and there has to be a sharp focus on people development. And also the ability to learn in fast-changing semiconductor ecosystem. Anil and I have worked together for 15 plus years and there are many projects that we have done together. But the one that stands out was actually a strategic initiative which we did three years back which and the purpose was to come out with a strategic vision for the organization to how to grow the team. And then exploring our own strength and development areas always gives new insights. There is no typical day at ST, each day could be different. But then typically the day starts with prioritizing the agenda, meeting stakeholders, tracking the projects and then closing the day with Leeds or coffee. I think the coffee is the key part here. Close it with the coffee. Rasuna is more a morning person and typically we use it in our favor, knowing that she would be reviewing the data in morning only. And Anil is definitely an evening person. His energy level peaks at 8 p.m. in the evening.


the strange saga of a Netflix series you'll never see. Director Carl Wynch, getting 50 million or so from Netflix to make a new sci-fi series, which never actually finished an episode. He got an eight-figure deal to create a sci-fi series based on his work that he had already done. He had done six episodes of four to 10 minutes each and he had that to show. So it doesn't seem as unreasonable when you know those things to say, oh, Netflix saw somebody with good training, you know, diamond in the rough. And at a time when everybody was taking risks, took a risk on it, the rest of the story, I don't know what you guys think, but it feels more like Wynch was just somebody who's having troubles and probably needs some kind of help. But this is an exception. And it's an exception that I don't think Netflix reasonably could have seen coming, maybe.
