The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Morning Market Kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN just after 9 a.m. Eastern time on Wednesday morning. We've got about 24 minutes to go until the start of trading, and you've got markets picking things up in negative territory. We've got retail sales hot, hot, hot as the consumer spending a 0.6% for the month of December, far above expectations. We'll get into that in a moment, but we pick things up. So what does that lean towards? That lean towards, leans toward higher yield, right? The Fed not exactly slowing things down with cuts as the market may have imagined when we have retail sales and the retail consumer in the economy. We'll be a little bit too hot for the Fed to begin cutting with fears of inflation, roaring back up. With that in mind, we have yield tire. We get the 10-year approaching 4.1. We get the S&Ps off by 32 points, but we're going to jump to the 10-year, just that quick. Look at the drop, man. Look at the move this week, right? From last Friday at 1.12, you back it up to where we were on the CPI last week at 1.12 as well, and we're sitting right now at 1.1115, and that is correlating right now to a yield of 4.1% on the dot on the 10-year. So we got the 10-year, higher yield, that's putting some weakness into the market right now, and we have the S&Ps off 2.30% trading down 32 points. See the volatility yesterday. We were up to 48.15 as I was ending the program, and just like that, we're trading at 47.67. NASDAQ 100 gives it up. We're off by 8.10% off 143 points. Pretty much right where we were at about 3AM Eastern Time yesterday morning. If you remember the program from yesterday, got a little bit of sell-off at the 3AM Eastern Time. We're right back down to those lows in the NASDAQ 100. The Dow off 181 points, it's been a slow slide. Lower lows, lower highs, Dow right now off 180 points. That's half a percent. And how about that Russell, man? Russell off by 1.6%, and we don't even get the opening bell until just over 20 minutes from right now. Bitcoin, just kind of chopping around, right? You see the volatility from last week. The ETFs get approved on Thursday. You spiked to almost 50,000. Bitcoin chopping around about 43,000 all week. We're just below that level. Bitcoin, 42,560. How about crude? If you got to go fill up the gas tank, maybe give it a few hours. Maybe give it till the end of the day. Maybe give it till tomorrow, if you can, man, because we got lower prices coming at you. Crude, down a buck 84 at 70.56. Now what's coming into this? The dollar, right? We're going to jump over to the dollar in a moment, but that's a big component as well. Of course, you jump to that gold contract, down by $6. Anytime you're going to have dollar strength, what are you going to have? You're going to have commodity prices going down because the dollar is stronger. So when those commodities are priced in dollars, which are stronger, you're going to need less of those dollars because it's a stronger currency to buy those commodities. Great day. We'll be talking to our man, Teddy Kegstad at 40 past the hour. Love that we talked to him on Wednesday. Seems like we're always getting some good economic data. We got it today with retail sales. We've got the market pulling back. We have yield spiking. We have the 10-year right now at 4.1%. Teddy's been talking about that maybe the market's a little bit ahead of itself in terms of all these cuts and the hikes being gone, the market waking up to at least some of that this morning. And you jump over to the dollar index. And there you go, right? Dollar hitting $10360. $10360. We were almost at a $101 handle on last Friday. We came into the CPI last Thursday at $10220. So you have extreme dollar strength right now. It's been quite a pullback from $107.38 to the $101 area, just like that. We're at $103.53 and out of some curiosity here. So that was your entire pullback, right? From 2022 to the lows of 2023. But taking that one off, we'll put it back on a daily. And you're dealing with a high of about $107 in the dollar. We back down to about $101. And you're just above that $3.82 right now. Maybe you're coming up to the highs we had in early December, that high in the dollar. $104.26. We're only about 70 pennies away from that price level right now. And you see the acceleration. These are dailies. The last couple of days, man, quite an acceleration as the market reprices the path and the number of cuts that they may be looking at. We jump over to the VIX. We were talking about the VIX yesterday. Something going on with the VIX, man. OK, we have the VIX trading at a level that we have not seen since November 14th. That's more than two months, man. We made it through Thanksgiving. We made it through Christmas. We had some spikes. OK, you had some negative action. Never had the VIX at this price level. So pay attention, man. Remember, we never had the VIX at this price level going back to November 14th. OK. And where was the market on November 14th? We are 270 points above where we were. That's November 14th, man. Pretty remarkable how we've just shifted higher. And we've had some red bars, but nothing like what we have going on right now. I was talking to our man Tim Ward last night doing my dad's program. One of the things he looks at is the SPY VIX ratio. OK. And any time you see the VIX going to a higher level, as that's the denominator in that ratio, what's going to happen? You're going to see that ratio come down. And that could be a fear factor. Anytime you have the VIX spiking, it could be indicative of a little bit of fear. It's definitely indicative of volatility being priced into the market. That is a fear in by itself, paying for protection, paying for some type of insurance almost. When you're talking about the optionality and the premium that's priced into those options, the expectation that you might get moves. Nonetheless, we get the VIX going up. If you want to check out that Tim Ward interview I did last night, we always archive that right on the YouTube page. Just go over to the video section. We archive every interview, every program right on the YouTube page. Check that out. And yeah, we get the VIX spiking with the SEPs pulling back. And let's jump over to retail sales. Rise by the most in three months to cap the holidays. And it's a big beat, man, here are the numbers. Retail sales month over month, 0.6 percent. The estimate was only 0.4. If you exclude autos, 0.4 percent estimate was 0.2. The control group, 0.8 percent. The expectation was for 0.2. Nine of 13 categories posted increases. The biggest gains in clothing, general merchandise stores, which include department stores and e-commerce. Motor vehicle sales up by 1.1 percent. Biggest increase since May. Those at gas stations fell for a third month as pump prices declined. That's probably going to keep going. We got crewed at about 70 bucks right now. So it's not in oil. It's not in energy. What's it in? General merchandise, yeah, clothing. Holiday season. We'll see if that deviates at all after we come back from the holidays. It's interesting. I hit up Target often with Tommy. It's kind of a Toys R Us experience I told you about. We try and walk out of there spending nothing. I hit up Target last night, walked out of there spending 54 cents. I bought some Spider-Man stickers. Got to love it, right? Got to love that. We walk around, we play with the toys. I may grab a Starbucks. That's the most expensive thing that I buy sometimes when we go out there. But retail sales, when you think about it, so I find myself we're looking at the same products in Target, right? Everything was just on sale for the months of November and December. And it is interesting to see who is spending money. I'm not buying toys right now. All right, we bought the toys in November. We bought them in December. The last time we were Target, we bought nothing. I'm telling Tommy, listen, Tommy, they got no they got no good toys, man. They got to replenish them. All right, we got all the good toys over Christmas. Santa brought you all the good toys. We bought some Spider-Man stickers for 50 cents yesterday. It's amazing what can bring a two-year-old Joy, who will be three years old, coming up in only about a couple of weeks. But yeah, who's buying those toys, man? Because they got everything full priced. I'm looking at every single thing in Target saying, man, that was 20% off. That was 30% off last month. How are those numbers going to follow? A strong December, we will find out. But stay tuned, folks. We got a lot to talk about this morning. We'll come back after the break. Don't go away.

TFNN, educating investors. Welcome back folks. We have the S&Ps down about 30 points right now trading at 47.68 NASDAQ 100 up by 131. We got some great economic data and retail sales but unfortunately this market is telling you that good news is bad news right now because we are at a point where the market is trying to figure out when those cuts are coming and this good news is derailing the idea. Remember when we were gonna get March cuts, right? Remember when we were gonna get March cuts not even close man. Amazing how quickly everything keeps changing, right? You go back to when it was October when the Fed said, listen, we're gonna go higher for longer, all this stuff, right? Things change in of course November, in December, the data and now what's happening. We got 10 year yields back above 4.11% pretty remarkable. You got the S&Ps off by 30. We have the dollar spiking to higher price. That is putting a hurt on commodities. We got the dollar at 103.60. You got crude floating with a 70 handle, 70.98 right now and you jump over to that gold contract right now gold contract, 2021. All right, what else we got going on? Let's talk a little bit of Apple. So Apple been in the press lately not for the reasons that they would like but this one they're gonna like. Apple, past Samsung as the world's top phone maker in 2023.  That came out over the weekend. Apple lowering their prices in China potentially indicative of a demand problem. They trade lower yesterday. You see that gap over the weekend from about 186. You hit a low of 180.93 yesterday morning. Talk about volatility on this equity. We're right back approaching those lows of 181.51 but it is remarkable as they were the world's top phone maker in 2023. I find this one just remarkable man because I'm fortunate that I can afford an iPhone or a premium phone. Nowadays there are so many remarkable phones that are less expensive, especially when you're talking about Android phones that Samsung's are. And it's remarkable that these companies continue to deliver phones at $1,000 to $1,500 when there are competitors on the discount front that offer some really affordable options that just have great service considering what you get versus what you get at the top end. Nonetheless, I love my iPhone. Okay, full disclosure. The iPhone sold more than Samsung's devices globally last year. And yeah, the first time that you had Samsung relinquished that spot since 2010. This is a big one folks. All right, you're talking about 13 years. The first time that that largest company has lost that top spot since 2010. Apple, 235 million shipments last year. Samsung comes in at 226 and they dropped double digits. Now, check it out. Here's Apple in 2022, they represented 18.8% share of the global market this year over 20%. Samsung, you almost completely reverse what was going on with Apple. They were almost at 22%. They're now at 19.4, rounding out the top three. Xiaomi, yeah, 12.7 to 12.5, look at that. And just amazing, man. When you look at this, haven't even heard it. Transion, is that another Chinese company potentially? Yeah, driven by attractive trade-in offers. I'm always seeing those attractive trade-in offers. And interest-free financing. Apple was the only player in the global top three to register growth of 3.7%. Now, that's the story of last year though. What's this year gonna look like, man? As they come in, I mean, think about it, quite a year, they're the only one of the major three to increase and what happens? What do you got going on? They're pushing out discounts in the China for the first time in years. So be careful, watch the chart action. Tough to find a bid right now in Apple. You're off by $2 yet again. That's gonna be a 1% hit on the open for Apple shares. Everything getting hit this morning, but nonetheless. Apple, they win 2023, but coming into 2024 with just a few questions to put it lightly. All right, let's check in on some of those chip stocks, man. Quite the accelerations for NVIDIA, AMD yesterday. NVIDIA shares right now, you're basically flat. I mean, you could call that a huge win when you get the market trading lower, right? You got NVIDIA shares actually in the positive when you got right across the board right now. NVIDIA, 564, remarkable. You jump over to AMD. They plowed higher as well yesterday. And yeah, you're gonna be barely in the green as well. NVIDIA trades from 146 to 160 yesterday. 146 to 160, almost a 10% acceleration. You're trading right now at 159.30. We jump over to Tesla shares. They got more price cuts going on, folks. Watch out, Tesla gaps from 220 to 215. And yeah, let's find that article real quick. Oh, come on. Here we go. Tesla slashes car prices across Europe after similar cuts in China. So they trim the prices from the Model Y cars across Europe, not long after announcing similar price cuts in the Model 3 and Model Y in China. By as much as 8.1%, they get a demand problem, man. I don't know how they get over it right now. EVs having a tough go around, Hertz, of course, selling 20,000 electric vehicles. Most of those are gonna be Teslas. They come out with price cuts in China. They come out with price cuts in Europe. And on top of it all, which one is it? Yeah, you have the pay package looming. This one is a new article from the journal. Okay, we talked about it yesterday. Elon out over the weekend talking about that he needs 25% ownership in Tesla. Well, he probably shouldn't have sold a lot of his shares to buy Twitter then. Kind of a conundrum that he's using that sale. What if he hadn't done that? Would he still need such a large pay package? Cause that shouldn't impact a shareholder. That's the most remarkable part of what's going on on this is that he is using the fact that he sold his shares for a personal acquisition to make an excuse that somehow he needs to be given more shares. I mean, it's pretty remarkable. Now, the 2018 deal gave him 55.8 billion. Folks, that's almost 10% of the whole company right now. Okay, and the company's lost half its value over the last two years. Half its value. It was at 1.2 trillion. It's at 650 billion right now. Now, that is 11 times the number that it was in 2018. Okay, Musk has talked about, they talk about in this article, okay? That the company, let's see, they talk about it in here, probably should be worth more than Saudi Aramco and some other company. Here it is, yeah. He, so in October of 2022, he likes to talk up his game, right? He saw a path for Tesla to be worth more than Apple and Saudi Aramco combined, which was then about 4.4 trillion. I imagine it's a bigger number. Let's just throw around 6 trillion, okay? Cause 6 trillion is about 10 times the size of the market cap right now. I think you're gonna see some kind of lofty pay package tied to, again, a multiple for Tesla shares that would defy all expectations, but he got it done in 2018, man, and that was what happened. If you remember when that pay package got announced in 2018, it was, oh my goodness, this is bonkers, but think how much Tesla's gonna be worth if it ever gets done. Who's gonna complain if Tesla goes from a company that's valued at 50 billion to 600 billion? Who's really gonna complain if Elon gets that pay package considering the overachievement, and it happened, right? There's a lot going on in that story, folks. Everyone's got their opinions. Not how corporate governance is supposed to play out, but he is the richest man in the world. He owns X, which is the biggest bully pulpit, you could say, in the world, and he is using it to his advantage, which may actually complicate things with the board a bit in terms of how they navigate that. Yeah, believe it at that, man. A 60 billion dollar pay package? Well, what if they tie it to Tesla being worth $6 trillion? Not sure I'd mind that one as a shareholder. Oh, a lot going on there. Nonetheless, Tesla, lower yet again today. Stay tuned, folks. We're coming back for the open. It'll be an interesting one. Don't go away.

We got markets open. You're looking at an S&P 32 points lower by about 6-10%. We come in right at basically pre-market session lows off 32 points, 47-66, NASDAQ 100. We're off about 0.8%, or about 134 points in the red, 16,832.  We jump around to the dollar on a day of strong retail sales. The American economy marches on, man. We get the dollar up by 15 ticks, 10351 right now. We jump over to yield to get the 10-year. Basically 4.1, I think we're sitting at. What are we at? Yeah, 4.1%. The yield on the 10-year right now at 1116. We got a strong dollar. What is that doing? That's putting some weakness into the commodities. You got crude. Getting back above 71, 7106, and you got the gold contract right now, trading down $6 at 2,032. We just dipped below 2,020 briefly on that gold contract. All right, what else we got going on? Yeah, you got Davos going on. I was watching it earlier this morning with Bloomberg there out there. Many executives making some headlines out there. Diamond making some headlines, talking about cautious. Let's why not? We'll bring over, yeah, he's talking right now, I think. Nah, he was talking early. Yeah, he's just talking about some potential lag, man. And S&Ps down 34 right now, we're making lows. And we got some ways to go. Chairman Powell sipping that coffee this morning, man, we are, what, about a couple weeks from the next Fed meeting? Might be two weeks from today, I think it is. And then you get March 20th. Is the meeting after that wasn't focused? Doesn't seem to be in focus right now in terms of any potential moves by the Fed? He remains cautious. This is JPMorgan Chase CEO, Jamie Dimon, on the U.S. economy over the next two years because of a combination of financial and geopolitical risks. Now we're gonna jump to office space in a moment. I better have that one up. I was reading it earlier this morning. I'm gonna find it. Let me see if I can get it up first. All right, nonetheless, you have all these very powerful forces that are gonna be affecting us in 24 and 25. There's a lot of lag, man, that could be coming down the line, right? In terms of we got a hot economy, the Fed's worried about inflation, rightfully so. And what's it gonna take to get us back down to 2% and what's it gonna take if we get a little bit of lag in the tightness in some parts of this economy that has marched on stronger than many had expected? Now you take that. That's not it. That's our Apple story. That's our CNBC story. No, okay, we gotta find it. All right, we're gonna have to find it at the next break. We're talking to our man, Teddy Kegs, at the next break, but I will find it, because I was reading a great article talking about the exposure. We've heard it before, but yet another article. Let me see, I think it was on the journal this morning. Here we go, I got it. Bill coming due on record amount of commercial real estate debt. We've heard the story before, but it's coming, folks, okay? And the Fed is aware of this, and that's one of the reasons why they wanna cut the moment that they think they can cut. $2.2 trillion in debt is maturing before 2028. Much of that will have to be refinanced at higher rates, much, if not all, right? Who's refinancing that debt at lower rates? Excuse me, yeah, at lower rates than what they had. So in 2023, okay, you had over half a trillion dollars in debt backed by office buildings, hotels, apartments, and other type of commercial real estate came due, the highest amount ever for a single year, okay? You're gonna have more than 2.2 trillion coming due between now and the end of 2027. Well, that's four years, so that's about 540 billion every year, this year, 2025, next year, 2026, and 2027, okay? Half a trillion dollars come and due, something to that degree, because you got 2.2 trillion coming by the end of 2027. Most of these loans have so far been repaid or extended, focused on extended here. That's the reason, really, I wanna talk about this article, because it hasn't crept up, because many of these policies have one and two-year extensions. Well, guess when they were using them? Last year and the year before. When are they gonna be able to use them? Not anymore, man. They're running out of those one and two-year extensions. The time has come at a roost. Many owners were able to exercise one and two-year extensions built into their original loans.  That's compelling many borrowers to confront the higher rate environment along with higher vacancies and weakening cash flows, which is depressing property values. Some owners and creditors are also grappling with the expiration of deals they made early on during the pandemic to delay payments until the worst of the health crisis passed. Well, things have changed since then, man. They make the point in here. You should be aware if you're not. Unlike home mortgages, okay, these are interest-only loans most of the time, okay? That means that when the debt matures, the borrower has to refinance or pay it off 100% man. Most of the time they're refinancing, right? Or they're handing the keys back, which may be possible. Now, excuse me. Lender losses on commercial property loans have started to increase and look poised to rise further. You got Fitch ratings project delinquency rate of commercial mortgage loans that have been converted into securities. This is an important one. It's gonna increase to 4.5% this year, 4.9% in 2024, 5%, more than doubling the 2.25% rate we just got as of November, okay? You look at loan delinquency numbers. This is U.S. commercial-backed, mortgage-backed securities loan delinquency. 2023, we're at 3.48%. The expectation and forecast for 2004, 8.1%. 2025, 9.9%. Compare that to multi-families. Yeah, you got an increase going on, but nothing like you're seeing in offices, okay? And the rate cuts aren't gonna come fast enough because you know what's not gonna change? I mean, there's a lot of office buildings that just, it's never going back. If you're the top, you know, right, A-style office building, right? You're in the middle of Manhattan. You got the Creme de la Creme. Those offices are never going away. If you're like the B-level office building where potentially they've moved a lot of those workers out to remote, whatever it is, that's a world that's changed dramatically and they're securitized as well. So pay attention to that one, man. And we haven't seen this come up yet, probably because a lot of those extension availabilities, right? I mean, this just happened, man. Okay, you got one in two-year extensions that are possible. You take a look at the 10-year. Pretty remarkable how far back you gotta go actually now. You take a look at the 10-year. It was only, I mean, basically the end of, yeah, what do we gotta go back? You go back three years to where interest rates were near zero and things really didn't start getting out of whack until the beginning of 2022. So we're only two years out from when the Fed started that hiking campaign as in, you know, they're just using the one and two-year extensions, man. And we're talking about going out all the way for the next four years. This is gonna be an issue. And even if rates recalibrate, remember that they still have an issue in terms of when they signed those deals, they thought they were gonna be getting for cash flow, for demand for office space versus right now where that sector may be. And it's not the same and we're never going back to the same. All right, we got the dollar, 103.57 right now. Great day to talk to our man, Teddy Kegstad. We're gonna be talking some currencies. We're gonna be talking some yields. We're gonna be talking some crude oil and commodities. Don't go away, folks. We're talking to Teddy when we come back in three minutes. We're right back.

And then you got capitalizing on time with calendar stock options spreads. Check those out. Check out the Tiger Forex report, and let's get into it. Teddy Kegsett, good morning. Good morning, Tommy. Yeah, what a morning to talk about the markets today. So where do you want to begin? What do you think, I guess, of the market reaction to some of the economic data? Right, we got retail sales. I mean, we got the whole theme going on, it seems here, Teddy, in terms of a little bit of a reverberation, right? Yield's climbing again. We got dollar strength back in Vogue. Where do you want to kick things off? It goes right back to what I've been saying for a long time. You got to watch the bond numbers, because if they make something move, they're going to make the markets move, and that's what's going on right now. So, I mean, everyone in the Tiger Forex report, we know Monday was a holiday, so they were asleep. There was no markets really open in the US. Everything was closed. Only the FX markets were open, but they were quiet. That was expected, and then yesterday, the markets opened. And the main thing that I had talked about in the Tiger report was that you're probably going to have a big choppy sideways market continuing unless the numbers start to come out in a way that disappoints or comes out out of whack. Retail sales came out much higher than expected. The forecast was higher than the previous number, but only slightly. And this really beat the number. So, and that's a big thing once again, which goes back to what I've been, the tone I've had over the past few months is that everyone's getting ahead of themselves. You know, I heard on the radio last week that there was a 60% priced-in chance of a quarter point rate cut in the May meeting. Well, is that still on the table today? You know, once again, you got the numbers are lagging, and this is not that far of a lagging number. You know, so I think that it's showing the shake up, and now we've gotten some breakouts too. We had some currencies that are moving, some that aren't, and I think a lot of it is reflective of the yield move that we've had, and yields haven't really moved that much. They moved today, you know, but the other markets already started to break out yesterday like the dollar already. So, I think we've started a nice little short-term move. I would not jump in front of the trends right now. Short-term, I think you gotta let them go a little bit more, and I can get into those numbers if you want. I can break it down from the dollar index all the way through all the currencies if you want to do that next. Let's do it. I like the exact numbers. Let's break out the numbers for the people listening for sure. All right, start with the dollar index. Yesterday we had an upside breakout level at 103.10. Right now we're trading at 103.60, so we took out that breakout level. So, for that, that signal was already taken out yesterday, that's good. Now we're following through today. I also have one of my, I have an indicator that I use. I don't use it for a tiger report, but I use it in combination with things. So, with the breakout, that triggered my signal followed up by an entry long signal for the dollar index that was triggered today. So, I think you can see the dollar index get up to around that 104.30, maybe even push 104.75 over the next like, I would say, three to five sessions. Could we have a nice sell-off and profit takings move tomorrow? Absolutely, because we have the next numbers on Friday for the U.S. Remember, I was looking for a sideways market most like for most of this week. So, I wouldn't get overzealous, but I think that what's going on in these little short-term bursts is gonna give you the nice trend to follow through over, like I said, the next week. So, that's a dollar index. So, now let's go to crude, okay? So, crude is something I know you guys want to take a look at. Now, this is another one that I was talking about going kind of sideways. It's on the lower band right now, or what, it's 71.16 of barrels, I think in the front month contract. So, that's kind of still sideways. As long as that stays stable, and I think that pretty much will over the next like week or so, I wouldn't expect a big breakout. If we get above 76, then I think you can start to worry about having a nice bull move. But I think, like I said, for the past couple of weeks, between 70 and 75, you're gonna be in a chop zone, and I think it's gonna continue there. But now let's go to the interest rates. So, with the 30 year, and there's also the 10 year, both of them are going kind of sideways. Yesterday's market had a nice sell off, meaning prices going lower, meaning yields going up. Today we have a nice little bit of follow through. Now, this is the key thing, like what I'm saying, don't get overzealous on these moves. In the past day and a half, we've had a nice move after a holiday break, okay? We could be pushing these moves today, but don't think that we're not gonna get a profit taking bounce. So, I think right now, as far as yields, I'd be in a sell rally forecast, looking for lower move lows, which will help to give the dollar a continued boost, which would help, like I said, help to dig, seek it up to about that 104 area somewhere around there. So, I'm looking for that to continue with that. And then we also had a sell signal triggered in that other signal that I use also today. Now, let's go to the Euro US dollar. I'm gonna go as fast as I can. That one, yesterday we took out, I'm sorry? I said, this is great, let's keep it going, let's keep it going. Okay, so yesterday in the Euro, now we had a nice sell off, we took out our downside breakout level, okay? So now here's the thing that I wanna tell you about the Euro. This is a big deal. We're trading right around the directional pivot level around this 108 area, okay? 108 to 108 half is a big deal, okay? If we start to trade below that, well, then we could see the Euro break another two to three dollars over the next, I would say week and a half to two weeks, you know? So to the short side, there could be a nice trade there, especially if yields do start to tick up again. Like if the bonds in the tenure follow through, okay, over the next few sessions, especially if we get a bad number on Friday for the, which will affect the real estate market, that could be a big bond number two and also in the tenure as well. So if that happens and they start to hit the hammer to lows and yields go up, that's gonna keep pressing that sell signal, okay? So for that, I think you could get that down another couple of handles in the bonds. And if that happens, that will help to Dixie get up to that 104 area, okay? So now let's go down to the British pound. This is the one that's staying kind of a sleeper today. Yesterday it did sell off, like the rest of the currencies, it's a dollar got its boost. But today it's just hanging around this, but right now it's where it's at 126.39. It's gotta get below 126.15, 125.95 area, somewhere in that support band, because if it holds above there, it means it's really, it's in this sideways trade that it's, it could dwell for a while. Remember, we're waiting on the Bank of England right now. So everyone's talking about the Fed, but our eye is also watching the BOE and that may keep that currency snaking along. So be careful looking for a big break on that one. If the euro sells off big, then you may get a little follow through with the pound, but that one I don't think is gonna break as hard relatively as far as the dollar cross relationship, just for those who watch that market. All right, US dollar Swiss, this is a whole another ball of wax. We're seeing some strength here. Now this is one where overall the trend is a bear. I would use caution with this one. I think you're having an exacerbated rally profit taking move on this one. So could it get to a much higher level? Well, of course it could, but 186, right where it's at right now is the directional pivot level I have, which is a huge trend level for the Swiss. So I think that this, the other markets have to catch up to this one more so than where it's at, if that makes any sense. If the rally is gonna continue with the dollar, the Swiss is probably gonna lay off over the next couple of sessions. The other currencies have to catch up. Okay, cause now as we get into the other ones. You guys take a quick break. Can we come back, Teddy? All right. I can wrap up the last four in two minutes. We'll finish it up folks. Don't go away.

We get the SMPs off about 36 points just kind of chopping around at the 47.62 area since we opened the trading at 9.30. We're talking to our man, Teddy Kegstad. Don't forget about the Tiger Forex report folks and let's just jump back into it Teddy. Please continue to go ahead as we wrap it up in the next couple of minutes. Where were we? Okay, cool. US dollar yen is where we're at right now. So in the report, I said last week Swing High was a big level. We figure we'd be testing resistance a little bit more. The number obviously accelerated things. We are above our upside correction zone which was topped out at 147.50. We're at 148.32 right now. We're on our way to 150 baby. Now is it gonna happen today or tomorrow? Probably not. But if Friday's number goes in line with what today's momentum is, if that kind of reinforces the direction of interest rates and helps push yields higher, I could see 150 hit by Friday afternoon. Definitely by Monday if those numbers fall in line with that one. So right now we have that bullish breakout. The yen and these last couple of currencies, these are the ones that are really driving the dollar index right now because they're the movers. So Australian dollar, US dollar, talk about a slam of jama yesterday. We felt the floor just got ripped out. We were looking for sideways in these markets. Obviously things are not happening. We got the downside breakout. We're already trading now. Let's see in the Aussie, it's trading at what is it? 65.28. That's just hovering above the bottom of the critical correction zone for what we had in the Tiger Forex report. You can see on a daily basis it's right there by a major swing low from a couple of months ago. We take that out over the next couple of sessions.  Now this is exacerbated move. So be careful with that. We might get a bounce. So real quick, I think I can get the NZD in the Canada. I love it. New Zealand dollar, it's the same difference as the Canada they broke out downside. Right now it's trading at 60.91. I got 60 even as a huge support base. It gets below there. You could see another couple handles without a doubt. And then US dollar Canada. Here's another one that's breaking out to the upside. The past couple of sessions. This is another one where I think it's exacerbated. I'd be careful tomorrow, but look for a follow through Friday, baby. Have fun. Man, Teddy, that was awesome. That was some great info, folks. Do you hear all that actionable info? Go check out that Tiger Forex report. Comes with a 30 day money back guarantee, 97 bucks. Teddy kicks out. Thanks so much, man. We'll talk to you next week. Take care. Take care. Folks, stay tuned. Basil's up next. Have a great day.

Thumbs up this video if you love meal preps and let's jump in because we have some cooking to do. For breakfast this week I'm going to be making a breakfast hash. I'm excited for this because it's comfort food, potatoes and eggs and bacon and all the good things so let me show you what's in this week's breakfast. First you're going to need some minced garlic, roasted red bell peppers, oil, this is just the chosen foods avocado oil. You'll also need some eggs, some seasonings, some parsley, you could use fresh as well or dried. Paprika, I'm adding a little bit of salt and pepper, and onion, one pound of potatoes. This is a one and a half pound bag so I'm just going to measure out on my food scale one pound and then you're also going to need some bacon so I'm using this Coleman Natural Uncured Bacon, it's amazing. I get this bacon from Imperfect Foods and there is a link down below for Imperfect Foods that gets you $10 worth of free products with no minimum order. You're helping with food waste and they have amazing prices so definitely check them out so let's make some breakfast hash. I have one pound of the potatoes measured out here on my food scale so there's still quite a few left, we'll just pop these in the fridge for later but what I'm going to do is just dice these in half just to help them cook a little bit faster. I have my oven preheating to 390 and then let's get these on a sheet pan, season them up, get these in the oven since they take the longest to cook. 🎵 Remember when you told me you believed in something and you said you're done 🎵 Pretending that fate is patient 🎵 Go run away, get it out of your system, come back 🎵 So I'm going to go ahead and slice up some bacon, the onion and I'm going to slice a little bit smaller the roasted red peppers these are all going to go in a pan on the stove to kind of fry up and cook while the potatoes are in the oven. 🎵 Go run away, get it out of your system, come back 🎵 🎵 When you're older, go find a place 🎵 So here is the bacon, the onions and the red bell peppers I'm just going to add them to a pan the fat from the bacon will sub in place of any added oil and help cook those down so we're going to let these kind of fry up while our potatoes are cooking So I just pulled the potatoes out they are almost all the way cooked through they are going to continue to cook once we add them here to the hash mix so I'm going to go ahead and pop in the potatoes we'll scoot it all aside and throw in the eggs and mix it all together with some seasoning and we have breakfast hash 🎵 The story goes little hope of bigger dreams 🎵 So I moved the hash to one side of the pan and I'm going to go ahead and pop in my four eggs Now you can scramble these completely you can just let the egg whites cook through and not the yolk but because I am meal prepping I'm going to let the eggs cook fully Now if you were just going to eat this as a breakfast immediately I would probably leave the yolk a little runny because this is best paired on some sourdough bread like avocado toast I'm going to eat it by itself I may pop it on some bread during the week we'll see but for me because I'm meal prepping I'm just going to go ahead and scramble up my eggs because there's no point in leaving it runny because when I go to reheat it it's just going to get cooked through anyway So I'm going to let these eggs cook just a little bit and then I'll stir it in to the rest of the hash And here's our hash Doesn't this look amazing? The eggs are mixed in It smells so delicious So this entire pan makes four servings So I'm going to get this packaged up in the meal prep containers I'm going to serve this with some fruit and I'll be back to show you Breakfast gives you points and calories Breakfast hash is done This looks so good So this again made four servings So this is quite a lot It fills up the large compartment of my meal prep container We've got bacon, potatoes, eggs, peppers It's going to be absolutely delicious It smells incredible So one serving or one fourth of the recipe is five smart points on the blue plan Seven on green because you do have to account for the one egg per serving And only two points on purple because potatoes are zero So really low point breakfast Absolutely delicious I'll have the calories on the screen as well But this is what I'm going to have with some organic grapes and blueberries from Imperfect Foods And this is breakfast And it looks incredible For lunch this week I'm making quinoa casserole It's fall And I am ready for some comfort food And I love quinoa This is full of a lot of my favorite things My husband isn't a fan of quinoa So I like to make it for lunch for me And this bowl is not going to disappoint So let me show you What's in our quinoa casserole First you'll need quinoa This is from Imperfect Foods This is organic royal white quinoa Again Imperfect Foods is linked down below With $10 worth of free groceries When you join help eliminate food waste It's such an amazing company And they have no minimum order So go ahead and grab your $10 worth of free product And then I have some minced garlic The recipe calls for veggie broth But I have beef broth And it's just a small amount I'm just going to use this Instead of buying another product And this is already open in my refrigerator Nutritional yeast You'll need some pepper And some onion powder The recipe calls for stone ground mustard I don't have any So I'm just going to sub this spicy brown mustard Black beans and corn And then instead of chopping up a carrot I have these shredded carrots in my refrigerator I'm just going to use these Save a step Make it easy Speaking of easy It calls for 12 ounces of butternut squash I like to buy the package Fresh butternut squash from Trader Joe's It just doesn't last very long So I decided this time To just go ahead and grab this organic Already cut up Steam in the bag Butternut squash from Walmart This is 10 ounces Which is close enough And this is going to make my life so easy I don't have to cut it up It doesn't go bad It's frozen And you can just pop it out when you're ready to use it So I'm going to do that We need a red bell pepper So I just am going to pull the red out of here And then a sweet potato Now it calls for a small sweet potato This is huge So I'm probably only going to use half of this sweet potato I will weigh it out to make sure That it falls in the right amount of grams For a small sweet potato calculation for point So that is what is in our casserole Let's get started First thing we're going to do is go ahead and cook our quinoa So I like to cook my quinoa and broth just for some added flavor So this is one and a half cups of that beef broth That I pulled out for the recipe And then I'm just going to add one cup of dry quinoa And we're just going to cook this Per the package instructions I stirred up When it comes to a boil I reduced the heat, popped a lid on And you just cook it until your quinoa is nice and fluffy My quinoa is just going to sit here and cook And get nice and fluffy So to a saucepan Now you could use a double broiler You could do really whatever you want I have added that bag of butternut squash Half of that sweet potato A big huge handful of shredded carrots And a big scoop of garlic I'm going to let this just cook down Until they're softened Everything has to be nice and soft Because we're going to pop this in a blender And make a puree out of it So I just pulled off the stove All of the potato and carrot mixture It's nice and soft We are going to add a few more ingredients Here to our blender before we blend it up We need to add two tablespoons of nutritional yeast Which is basically vegan parmesan So it's a cheesy flavored Really good for you powder lot to health benefit So we did two tablespoons of that We're also going to do two tablespoons of the beef broth Or veggie broth If that's what you end up using in yours So I'm just using the same tablespoon I just did the powder first So there's two tablespoons of that We're going to add in the spicy brown mustard Or stone ground mustard Whatever you have We want about a teaspoon I'm just going to eyeball that And then I'm going to add in the onion powder Again, just going to eyeball I'm going to put in about a teaspoon and a half And then a pinch of salt And we're going to blend this up And this makes the sauce for our casserole So into my large bowl here I have my drained and rinsed can of black beans And my cooked quinoa So we are going to mix everything here In a large bowl before it goes into a baking dish And into the oven So black beans and quinoa Look at how amazing this sauce looks Nice clean ingredients We made it from scratch But it was super simple Especially saving those steps Of having to cut up the butternut squash That freezer butternut squash is a lifesaver So I went ahead and added all the sauce Oh my gosh, it smells so good It smells so sweet So there is the sauce We're going to add in one can of corn And lastly we are going to add the red bell pepper I did go ahead and dice that up It is still raw It'll cook while it's in the oven Stir that together And this is the base of the casserole So I'm going to go ahead and pull out my oven safe dish Preheat my oven And let's get this cooked So we can have some lunch This looks so full So much full vibes happening Look at how delicious this looks It smells so good Again, lots of fall Which makes me really excited So I have a 6x9 baking dish I'm just going to spray it With some nonstick cooking spray I just want to make sure nothing sticks All of the goodness sticks to it And then we're going to go ahead And add in the casserole mix I have my oven preheating to 375 And we're just going to let this cook Until it's warmed through Kind of crispy on top Oh my gosh This is going to be so filling and delicious And talk about clean whole food That tastes amazing This is the way to do it If you want to eat a clean diet on WW Or just in your diet in general This is the way to do it And feel satisfied We're going to have the sweetness of the corn Sweet and savory Very fall-like It's just a really good way to go For healthy clean food So I am going to pop this in the oven At 375 for about a half of an hour Or until it's cooked through Quinoa casserole is out of the oven This looks so delicious I'm going to let this cool and rest here For about 10 minutes or so Just before I cut into it It makes 6 servings I'll pop it in a bowl A meal prep bowl Just because I'm not sure what I'm going to pair with this Probably just some fruit Maybe another veggie So I'm going to go ahead and just put it in a single bowl So that I can decide what I want each day with it But this looks amazing And I'll be back to show you the completed casserole Give you points and calories And here is lunch Let me just tell you I set aside a slice to have for lunch today It is amazing It is so good It is the perfect combination of sweet and savory You get the sweet from the corn It has

purple plan And it is only 6 smart points on green Now if you wanted a little bit larger slice You could go ahead and cut it into 6 servings And I will put the points here on the screen for that And

spices are great Just because it is not going to affect Your weigh in by giving you that extra salt So this is cinnamon spices And honey It is amazing I am not joking when I say This is the best pumpkin seasoning ever They have over 20 seasonings at dax So check them out I do have a code down below for 10% And free shipping 10% off I should say and free shipping Check them out There is also a list over on my Facebook Group of all of my favorite spices from dax If you are interested in knowing what I buy But pretty much honestly I have them all Love dax So this pumpkin spice is my go to So we are going to add a little bit of that In place of just plain nutmeg Let's make some copycat fried apples So the first thing we are going to do is Dice our apples Now you have a preference when making this recipe To peel or not peel your apples I am not going to peel mine Because I actually don't mind the peel And it saves a step Now feel free to peel them We are obviously going to core them And dice them up I am going to put them here in a bowl So that we can add them directly to our pan So for our fried apples I have a pan here warming up on the stove What I sprayed was this ghee Sprite oil from Thrive Market This stuff is pretty awesome It does give it a little bit of a buttery flavor So I am going to go ahead and let this warm up Here are my chopped up apples And then we are also going to add the lemon juice And we are starting We are starting the copycat Fried apples from Cracker Barrow I went ahead and added my apples Now I am going to put About a teaspoon of lemon juice Right over the top And then we are going to add some salt Because salt does actually help enhance the sweetness So we are going to put just a pinch of salt And one quarter cup of the sucran brown sugar And then we are going to let these fry up on the stove This looks so good already with that brown sugar So what I am going to do is go ahead and pop a lid on it We are going to let it cook down for about 15 minutes And then we will sprinkle on some cinnamon And the dax pumpkin spice These look so good They smell absolutely amazing They are done You can see that they are nice and soft So there is a little bit of liquid in the bottom Which is exactly what we want Because once we season these up With the cinnamon and dax pumpkin spice It will become thicker Like a paste between the apples And really have that copycat vibe So let's add some cinnamon and some pumpkin spice So here are our copycat fried apples These look so good They smell amazing I definitely taste the butter from that ghee spray Now that ghee spray has calories So the amount that I used in the recipe is one smart point So the entire recipe I used one point Worth of that spray ghee or that Pam spray I probably wouldn't even bother counting it It's not going to affect the points in this anyways Because guess what you guys Our copycat fried apples are zero points Zero points on all plans And we can have cracker barrel fried apples For zero smart points This makes eight servings You will want to of course watch your calories If you're counting calories Those will be on the screen for you But zero smart point fried apples Can't wait to have this for dessert You could top it with some whipped cream Some vanilla ice cream It would be amazing Thank you for joining me On another weekly WW meal prep

Tarzan and the Diamond of Arshad! Tarzan and his party are encamped on the bank of a tributary of the Yubangee River. Behind them, on the trail, are Artan Tom and Lal Task. They are after a map which Helen Gregory has given to Tarzan for safekeeping. Before Tarzan and his friends are able to cross the river, a jungle storm breaks. The tornado whips through the forest with its titanic elemental fury. Great trees spend and snap like slender pipe stems. Fantasticly shaped black clouds that send down solid sheets of water. The deafening crash and roll of thunder combines with the banshee howl of the wind. The sound is maddening. In their tent, Helen, Barbara and Gregory anxious to watch Darno as he peers out into the blackness. Suddenly a terrific bellowing blast! The dead rope snap and the horror crash to the ground beneath a sudden weight of cleaning soap cans.  A pull! Are you sure she does not have... Alright Wolf, what's more? Like lead. Where is she? Where is Helen? Right here, but then I'm Darno. Is she hurt? Let me see. Helen, Helen, it is Darno. There's almost over its banks. She will bleed. I shall carry her. Alright, Wolf, hit them straight to it and keep an eye on Margaret and Gregory. I can make it. You take care of Margaret. Margaret will take care of herself. You lead and clear the trail for us. How's Helen, Darno? I do not know. She does not open yet the eyes. Elaine, my petite, my share. She's only knocked out, Lieutenant. Don't leg behind. Oh, Monsieur Gregory, voila, voila. She is awake. Oh, my poor, wrong bond. How are you? Tell me. I thank the bond you really do want. I am so happy. Well, here's the foot of the hill. I can walk now, Lieutenant, if you just put me down. No, I shall carry you. Oh, dear, but I was afraid, afraid that you were gone. Up here is terrible. Out, Gregory, Wolf. I'll give Margaret a hand. Alright, Darno? Oui, oui, sur le monde. Where to, Darzan? Over here, under this big mahogany tree. Never was Usher strong enough to tear this one down, but keep close together on the lee side. There is no outer shelter in the jungle. Darzan, where is Larsen? I sent him to look after the natives. Did you see him, Wolf? No, but Dutch speed can take care of himself anywhere. Helen crouches beside Darno. Wolf, as best he can, protects Margaret and Gregory with his huge freight. Throughout the seemingly endless hours of the night, the furious battle of the elements rages on. Finally, with one mighty clap, a rolling thunder the tornado spends itself in a last effort. And almost as quickly as it came, dies away, tearing sullenly in the distance. Morning. A blazing African sun glares yellow upon the steaming jungle. Darzan leads his little party down to the wreckage that was a camp. They look about them. A dreary, desolate sight meets their gaze. A wreckage of tense and water-soaked equipment. Chaos. Looks pretty bad, eh, Darno? Oui, Monsieur Gregory, it does. The natives, Darzan, there is not one of them in sight. And there isn't much use in looking for them. You mean... They're gone, deserted. From the looks of things, they've taken most of the supplies with them. Me? Oh, dear, how can you be sure of that? They are probably in the jungle somewhere. You're right, they're in the jungle somewhere. They've seen it happen too often not to know. They hadn't meant to run off, they'd be here. What's the trouble, Darzan? The natives. There isn't a black left in camp, and the better part of our supplies have gone with them. Do you mean that we are here in the jungle? Alone? That's exactly what I mean. Well, I look at me. It ain't my fault. I'm sure it isn't Wolf. Wolf's fault, Darzan? I didn't tell any of you, but yesterday I caught Wolf whipping the witch doctor. He's a big man to the natives, with a great deal of influence over them. How do you take less than that to make Barra's dessert a safari? Well, it will not help matters to stand here and look. We must decide what we are going to do. And, Larsen, what do you suppose has happened to him? Well, I was taking down my tent last night, and when I come back, he was gone. You're in such a terrific hurricane. Anyone could become lost. Yes, of course. Oh, those guns, Darno, are they damaged? No, when they have been dried and cleaned, they will be as good as ever. They better clean them then. Take care of both of our belongings, and keep your rifles handy. Take care of the others, Darno. I'm leaving. Oh, but, but where, Darzan? Are you going? To look for Larsen and the Barra's. Oh, Darzan, I wish you wouldn't leave us. Now, look here. You think it was my fault that the natives deserted, huh? All right, I'll go look for them. And, Larsen, too. You stay here, Darzan. These people need you. No, I'm going to find... Darzan, Wolf Arezon. He is right. With our bearers and supplies gone, we must decide upon what we are going to do. And without you, we can decide nothing. Yeah, yeah, that's what I mean. I know the shoulder, and I know the back trail. If Larsen is to be found, I bring him back. All right.  We'll wait here till you get back. If you haven't found trace of Larsen by tomorrow night, come in. The whole, the whole fetus is here. Goodbye, good bye, Wolf. Looks as if Wolf wants to square himself for whipping the most doctor, eh? Maybe. Oh, I do hope nothing has happened to Mr. Larsen. Larsen is a man very familiar with the jungle, Elaine. He will return if he is alive. You do not think he is... I believe, Margaret, that Larsen will return. Because I'm sending him to look after the natives. He obeys orders. I have no doubt that he is with the bearers now, or on their trail. Oh, I hope so. Do you really think, Larsen, that whipping the witch doctor caused the natives to desert? I... I don't know yet. However, the main thing is to decide what you want to do. Well, with supplies and bearers gone, there isn't anything left but to go back to Bunger. You want to get to the mountain of two and barker? Find your son, don't you? Of course, but... You cannot go on. Well, in heaven's name, we have little or no food and no bearers to carry what we have. No one to build a camp at night. No one to cut the wood and do the work. Nevertheless, if you want to go on, we will. What do you say, Dono? Hey, good to me, Zamy. I have traveled with Larsen for months through the wildest sort of jungle, with four men and a woman, and with no other equipment than... Well, with no more than a few rightful clothes on our backs. And who came through? Am I not here? I don't know how you did it, but if you say we can, I am ready. How about it? If we go back now and begin all over, we'll be weeks getting together another safari. But if Tarzan and Lieutenant Dono say so, I'm ready to go through. I will go anywhere with Tarzan. Then that's settled. We've got to cross the river. It's running high. I'm going to look at the fort and see if it's passable. And in the meantime, we shall continue to salvage what we can from this wreckage, eh? I'll just choose what we need most and make separate months of it. I'll know you and Gregory keep your rifles handled. I will belong. Tarzan's hand grasps a trailing vine. A few deft catches and he's gone. In the storm wreck camp, Dono, Gregory and the two young women worked like beavers sorting over the debris. The Frenchman keeps a watchful eye on the boundaries of the little clearing. He feels that for the moment, at least the responsibility is his. Eh, Pui, let us pile the things over here beside this tent. This will be it. I might have glad you know where to start and what to do. I'm at total loss in this business. Now if we were in the wheat pit in Chicago... But we aren't, Dad. And we're not gambling with stocks.  Lieutenant Dono. Look over there. What are those horrible creatures? Karey, Ellen, Gregory, Come here, close to me. What is it? No noise, Ellen. Scott, what are they? Gooders? Those are the great apes. Tarzan, meanwhile, has scouted the river crossing and started back through the trees at his usual rapid pace. His sensitive ear catches a strangely familiar note in the voice of the jungle. He darts ahead through the lower terrace at lightning speed to pause for an instant at the edge of the clearing. There, surrounding his friends, are the great apes. As he looks, one of the monsters lets out a terrifying shriek. The second Tarzan is on the ground and running with the speed of a deer toward the hairy giant.


Hey everyone welcome to this week's video update exclusively for pro members today is Friday October 2nd Hope everybody had a great week of trading taking a look at the markets S&P 500 notably Pretty wild day-to-day in the markets Obviously we woke up and the market was down quite a bit with the market getting spooked due to Donald Trump our US President getting the coronavirus and then rallied all the way back up and then closed down about 22 points So kind of a wild ride all in all for the week I mean some really big swings, but you know pretty much just kind of stayed inside this little consolidation box here Still looking for the same thing that we've been talking about for the last few weeks looking for one more leg down here in this market We'll see if that comes true and starts coming to fruition next week If price does push up back above this kind of consolidation level that we had here I think that third leg might be off and we might be looking back to all-time highs But playing a little bit to the downside at this point got some short Delta and so that is the plan Let's jump into the alerts for the week starting with Let's see Monday was The 28th So let's get let's start on Monday here So the first trade we did on Monday was DIA so we did a opening adjusting trade in DIA so we had a couple different short-call verticals on We ended up taking one off after getting assigned Waited for the market to bounce back up added this one back in so now we're back to having two different short-call verticals in DIA so let's take a look at those One of them we've got three contracts with prices just outside of range here And then the other one we've got four contracts This is the one we just added back and it's pretty close to where we added it no profit or loss at this point Next trade rolling adjusting trade in XBI. So we've got the short strangle, which has been adjusted into a straddle Rolled that from October to November. We were under 21 days to expiration So just wanted to roll that out extend duration kept these strikes exactly the same. So we've got that straddle on still Uh price is kind of hanging out right here. So not too far off from where we rolled it in XBI We've also got a long call which we don't do a lot of long calls But with the price action that we're seeing in XBI had a big move up kind of started pulled back And so we're looking for a potential continuation in XBI and just kind of balancing our portfolio adding a little long in there with some of our other shorts Next trade SMH did a rolling adjusting trade. We've got a short strangle in SMH rolled this from October to November We were under 21 days to expiration just extending duration on that Uh smh down 3% today But we're pretty much dead centered now the implied volatility did has been elevated since then So we're down a tiny bit, but we're dead centered in our risk profile graph So in good shape there just waiting for some more time to pass and theta to decay Closing adjusting trade in SPY. So we had an iron condor in our october cycle still And so we were over 50 of max profit on that. So we just closed that out. We're still holding our other Iron condor in november and you can see prices hanging out right here. So just waiting for some more theta decay in that one Opening trade in SPX so we did a A new weekly double calendar already had one So this was our second one that we had on at the time and we closed both of those out today So I'll get to that here in just a second Rolling adjusting trade in ZB. So we've got a short strangle in ZB that we went ahead and rolled out We were close to 21 days to uh expiration a little bit over But we were had a really nice percentage of max profit I can't remember exactly what it was but went ahead and just rolled that out. So let's take a look at ZB So this is basically a straddle our our strikes are pretty tight here We've just got the 78 put 79 call price has now come down since we did that but So we need a little bit of up movement and really just more time to pass to benefit that trade trying to work back to profits in ZB Closing trade in SPX. So we had a an iron duck price ran higher So had very little chance of getting back to the duckhead. So we just booked that Booked about beak profit on the trade in fact exactly beak profit on the trade call spread was $5 wide Closed it out for five bucks. So we I think we made 165 bucks on that one Natty gas rolling adjusting trade in that gas. So we've got a short strangle in natty That we rolled out we were we were pretty inverted and the strikes on the call side Were so deep in the money that the the liquidity wasn't as great and they they were a little bit wide So what we did was we just rolled this and un inverted it So now we've got the 2.7 put 3.75 call prices hanging out right here Even though it was pretty centered We're down a few hundred bucks just because the implied volatility has really popped popped up in uh, well pretty much in everything Uh, but including natty gas. So we're just giving that more time Okay, so spx. We had another iron duck that we closed out booked a booked another beak Actually a little bit over beak profit on this one with with price running higher And it was great timing because then the next day this morning market flushed lower and we added a new one on so Uh worked out well on those iron ducks Uh, here's here's one of our weekly double calendars that we closed this morning And let's just go to our uh, so we did that and we opened up another iron duck So let me just show you that and then I'll talk about our weekly double calendars So an spx Here is the duck that we put on we did this one with 12 days to expiration So it's pretty close to where we put it on So just have obviously no risk to the upside and a huge buffer to the downside where we can potentially hit max profit Uh, and then the weekly double calendars. Let's just go to our Uh, we closed both of those today We closed one out first thing as the market started to push higher You know, we had a we had a nice profit in one And so I didn't want to lose that profit in case the market just continued to rally which it did So I went ahead and closed that one out Booked $380 on that one and then later in the morning. This one was pretty well centered And so we booked 795 on that one. So Great couple of trades there. Those are all of the alerts for the week. Let's take a look at some of our other positions We've got a couple of long put verticals in es Uh, just holding that for that short delta exposure price is just outside of range on this one So we need some downside to get back in there And then this one is just inside range. So similar situation Gold we've got a couple of iron condors One is hanging out here kind of in the lower end of its range And then we've got another one here. Both of these are in the same cycle This one is more centered. We're up about 78 bucks on that So just looking for price to kind of ping pong around and maybe we can book profits on both of those I showed you natty gas bonds apple We've got a long put vertical here for some short delta prices Just outside of range on apple looking for some downside to get back in Even with the market going down john deers been very strong We've got a short call vertical here with price a little bit out of range But just holding that to see if we can get some some downside action As you can see, I mean this this thing has just been really strong Even with some of the downside that we've seen in the overall market DIA I showed you that IWM We've got a couple of short Short positions here one of which is a bunker in december pretty close to where we put it on Looking for some downside to benefit that Then we've got a couple of long put verticals. This one just outside of range This one is just inside range. So again, just holding these for a little bit more downside Same thing with qqq. We've got a bunker and a couple verticals There's one of the verticals and here's the other So just need a little bit more downside action to benefit those Let's see smh I showed spx spy xbi and lastly xl k so we've got a long put here in xl k This one expires. We've got yeah 14 days So we'll probably do something with this next week if we get a nice little flush down And we'll just book that if not, we'll we'll we'll close it anyway Potentially re reestablish with longer duration or consider rolling it but probably just close it and Wait to see what happens. Uh, we've also got a long put vertical Just need some downside to get back into range there And then we've also got a bunker which has got a little bit of profit Just looking for another flush lower before we do anything with that So that's all the alerts. That's all the positions. I sent out a kind of a recap of Day trading if you want to check the facebook group We post daily recaps on the day trading stuff there And then I also just recorded the monthly recap of performance for all of our core trades and our day trades So you'll see that posted on the blog here in the next in the next day or two So everybody have a fantastic weekend. We'll be back in the live trading room today trade on Monday Look forward to that everybody. Have a good weekend. We'll talk to you soon
