A foundation based out of Little Falls celebrated the community and economic progress that's been made in the Brainerd Lakes area and surrounding communities. The initiative foundation was created in 1986 after the farm crisis to help rural Minnesota communities that did not recover as fast as metro areas. They focus on economic and community development to build a more prosperous central Minnesota. The foundation held the luncheon to celebrate the positive work that has been going on in the Brainerd Lakes area. We are celebrating some of the great stories of progress around the region. We're able to partner with a lot of folks that are making that good work happen. And sometimes when you see a lot of concerning news in the world, it's important to look around and find some of the good news stories as well. We heard a lot of those today. Along with celebrating the positive work of local organizations, the initiative foundation used the luncheon to announce some news. The Bush Foundation has awarded initiative a $1.4 million grant to enable them to keep growing and keep providing resources to central Minnesota. They also announced that they'll be opening a satellite location right in Brainerd. The Brainerd Lakes area is so important to us. It has been for our entire history. A lot of our staff come from this area as well and so many of our partners. So we thought it would be great to have a physical location here. And so we're partnering with the Chamber of Commerce and Bladik as well. And so now we'll be neighbors there having a physical location which will allow us to have staff there doing their work and doing meetings and partnering with other folks in the area. The growing home luncheon was part of a three-part series that took place in St. Joseph, Bram, and Brainerd.

Good day fellow investors. One of the most attractive things in investing is trying to time the market. We all see the SAP 500 with huge long-term swings and the best thing to do would be sell at the top and buy again back at the bottom. However, that's something practically impossible to do because if you would be a market timer you would have sold out in 2010, 2011 because you thought this will come back crashing down. And then you would have missed out on a huge upside that happened in the last five years. This figure shows exactly how a market timer thinks. First, the market is rising. Let's see if I should come in. Then when the market is close to the top then they buy in. Then buy more at the correction. The market starts dropping sell. Thank God I sold it. Then only after the market recovers they buy back in and so on and so on. And they miss on the bulk of the positive things that happen. Now you might think, okay, the SAP is clearly overvalued now. I should sell. Yes, but the SAP was overvalued in 2015. It was overvalued in 2013. It wasn't overvalued in 2011. So really if you would have sold in 2014 you would have missed on huge, huge gains from the stock market. Therefore, market timing is attractive, but only in hindsight. When you look at when to sell, when to buy, it's extremely, extremely difficult. And I think impossible. I can't do it. Buffett can't do it. Ray Dalio can't do it. In this video I want to show you three things that we can do. But before I want to show you the top SAP 500 gains and losses per day. The top gains were in October 2008, when the SAP grew the 14th, 11.58%, the 28th of October, 10%. And then in 1987, the 21st of October, the SAP 500 grew 9%. On the negative side, in 1987, the SAP 500 fell 20% on the famous 19th of October. And other are again, 2008, 15th of October. So the worst, the best day of the SAP 500 was the 14th of October, 2008. And the worst day was the 15th of October. So if you want to time the market, you really have to do it on a day-to-day basis, because the best days are on Monday, let's say, and then the worst day is on Tuesday or the other way around. So really to try to catch such moves, such volatile moves, I think it's practically impossible. The problem is that if you miss out on the best 10 days in the market, your returns are practically zero after a long time period, because those best days are what drive long-term returns. And missing out on the 10 best days on a year, your returns are negative practically. So therefore, market timing, yes, looks attractive, but it is extremely risky and leads to negative returns in the long term. You might get it right once, twice, but over the long term, it's impossible to predict what the market will do. If we go back and look at the SAP 500, you can see how the huge 1987 crash just looks like a minor blip on this chart. Perhaps in the next 20 years, the 2002 crash and the 2009 crash will also look like minor blips on the stock market chart. So three things to do apart from market timing are a, the only thing we can do is stay invested, stocks offer, protection from inflation, a positive yield. So investing in stocks is a positive sum game because in the long term stocks offer dividends, takeover targets, add premiums. So there is a lot of positive, the economy is growing, revenues will grow, everything usually grows in the long term in the stock market. So if you are not invested, you definitely lose on the bulk of returns. And timing in the market is what gives long-term positive returns. They will be volatile, but you have to accept volatility if you invest in stocks. Number two, constantly add to your portfolio, especially if something is cheap. So you can rebalance your portfolio by selling the expensive things, looking at fundamentals and buying the cheapest things. And so you constantly rebalance around sectors, international exposures, currencies, and you add a few percentage points to your returns. Let's say a portfolio 100,000 after 20 years at 5% gets to 260,000. At 10%, the return is around 600,000. So three times more, the 5% return. So if you can get those 5 percentage points in a year, additional returns with the same risk, which is possible to do over the long term, I think it's no problem, your portfolio triples over 20 years. And that's what you want to go for, not for not trying to time the market or trying to catch the bottom or highs. That's practically impossible. The third thing to do is, of course, invest in stocks that offer you the wished rate of return at no risk. Let's say you don't invest if the expected earnings return is lower than 10% or 15%. I like to invest in stocks that offer 20% per year at least for me at no risk. Now, you mean such high return with no risk? How is that possible? That depends how you look at risk. You look at risk as volatility. I don't care what the stock price will do in the next three, six months, because if it goes down, I'll simply buy more. What I care about is the risk of permanent loss. That's the only risk that exists for long-term investors. And if you listen to Charlie Munger, you will see that he doesn't define risk as volatility, like academics do. He defines risks as the potential that I lose my money. And if you buy stocks with a margin of safety, with high book values, with business modes, then there isn't such great probability that you lose money in the long term. In the short term, volatility is even a bonus because you can buy more of the same thing that you think it's valuable. And so in the long term, you add a few percentage points and that's what makes the difference, a few percentage points. I know it sounds boring. It's not exciting. Let's buy this stock that will be a 10-bagger. No, a few percentage points will make the difference between negative returns and you being rich after 10, 20, 30 years. The beautiful thing is that you need one, two investments per year that are good and that satisfy your returns. Not more. If you start chasing 2050 investments per year, you're a speculator, you would chase the hottest stock and your returns will probably be negative or very, very low. Keep watching as we constantly discuss ways to increase your returns and lower your risks in order to create satisfying long-term investing returns from strong portfolios. Thank you for watching. Looking forward to the comments and I'll see you in the next video.

Take a quick look at the back seats. They are just as clean as the front seats. No rips or tears back here. This does have the latch child safety system for any child car seats you may have.

We'll start it up and take a look under the hood as well as check out all those LED headlights and fog lights. Starts right up, no check engine lights or anything like that other than my hood's open. Want to make sure we got those fog lights on as well as those LED side lights. There are those LED side lights. They are super bright on the mirrors. I would personally like to thank you for checking out the video today and hopefully from this HD video, you've been able to verify the quality, condition options and of course, cleanliness of this truck all the way around. All those lights are super bright and working very nicely. And under the hood, we have the 6.6 liter Duramax diesel engine. This is the L5P engine, 445 horsepower engine base, very clean runs, very smooth. Once again, this truck has been fully safety and inspected by a service shop, has a fresh oil and filter change.

Hi, I'm Ambassador Doug Lute, former U.S. Ambassador to NATO from 2013 to 2017. Today I'm here at USIP to attend a meeting of the Senior Military Advisory Group, a group of former military officers who have come together in an advisory capacity here. Well, I think the most immediate impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is that NATO now has combat troops postured along its eastern flank, from the Baltic Sea down through the Black Sea in locations it never had before. And this, of course, is first and foremost to reassure those eastern-most allies of NATO's commitment to their defense, but also a very important deterrent signal to Vladimir Putin that should his ambitions run beyond Ukraine that there's really a very bright red line on NATO territory. So that's the first immediate effect downstream. I think we'll see a continued and persistent increase in European allies' defense spending. Most prominently the announcements coming over the last year out of Germany with Chancellor Schultz leading the way and moving Germany as well to the NATO accepted standard of 2% of GDP committed to defense. And then probably also, very significantly, the emergence of Sweden and Finland as applicants now, as invitees to join the alliance and become the 31st and 32nd members of the alliance. So there's some very significant and important and immediate impacts of the Russian invasion. NATO considers China a competitor, a strategic competitor, because China has a different vision for world order than the vision held commonly among NATO allies. But China is not viewed by NATO as a threat. So there's a real distinction here between Russia as a threat, an obvious and imminent threat, and China as a strategic competitor. Most of that competition with China is actually in the political and economic realms, not in the military realms. So NATO is watching carefully alongside the EU, the European Union, NATO's closest partner. It's watching closely Chinese investment in critical infrastructure, often dual-purpose infrastructure inside Europe. Think the 5G communications network or transportation infrastructure, rail ports, rail lines, seaports, and so forth. Chinese investment here is important because it's not just a commercial investment. The Chinese model is a commercial investment today. It comes with downstream or expected political payoffs later. So these Chinese investments in the European continent are being watched very carefully. I think the most significant challenge that NATO has to confront is a pattern of democratic backsliding or erosion of democratic values among some of its now 30 members. Not all, but some. And frankly, as Americans, we should think seriously about this ourselves. You know, the second sentence of the NATO treaty signed in 1949 says that all signatories abide by three core values, a democracy, individual liberty, and rule of law. I think as Americans, we have to look hard at our democracy and how we're doing against those values, but also there are other NATO allies who are beginning to slide back away from those core values. And this is really fundamentally important because NATO operates on a consensus basis for all big decisions. In other words, today, to take a big decision in NATO, the vote has to be 30 to 0. It's not founded on common values. If you don't have that glue that holds the alliance together and makes it cohesive, then its ability to operate on this consensus basis actually is eroded. So I think there's some work to do and some housekeeping to do within the NATO alliance with regard to democratic values.


What's up everybody welcome back to the channel I'm EvilRabbit here on Forza Horizon 3 bringing it back to the roots to where the channel started these guys can't drive that's where the channel

So with the final preparations for most of the play is done at the Rome Open We have some massive changes to the rankings and also the seedings locked in for the French Open coming up next week Let's go over see who won last week because it might surprise you who actually won Rome Just starting on the WTA, Alina Rabakina gets her first big clay-core trophy taken out Kalanina in the final 6-4-1 love retirement Unfortunately, Kalanina could not continue her amazing run And Rabakina got a nice boost in the rankings from it and on the men's side Danil Mevedev takes out Holger Runa 7575 to lift the biggest trophy off his clay-core career and also get a massive boost in the ranks Which is going to be tallying at the French Open So the two unlikely winners in Rabakina Mevedev winning on a slow clay court in Rome this week Let's go over look at some of the players that've gone up in the rankings this week that are outside the top 10 With Kalanina going up to a career high number 25 in the world 22 of spots higher than last week after making the biggest final of her career so far And that guarantees her a seed at the French Open So it was a great week for her. Also, Pearl Abedosa going up to number 29 in the world Six spots higher than last week after making the quarterfinals of Rome again Getting her in the seedings for the French Open next week and Ugo Ambert He goes up to number 38 in the world 12 spots higher than last week after winning a challenger event There was worth 175 points He's getting really close to being seeded and if a couple people withdraw He might actually get a seed after winning a challenger So three players there that got a real valuable boost this week and players that went down outside the top 10 Bianca Andrescu, she's gone down 10 spots number 41 in the world I have to failing to defend the points from last year that means she won't be seeded at the French Open Whereas before Rome, she would have been also a Nissan Mova going down 28 spots number 89 in the world Nothing not playing this week, but she's also not gonna be playing in the near future So it doesn't really matter too much for the French Open coming up where she's ranked and over on the ATP Alexander Zverev, he's dropped down 5 spots at number 27 in the world after dropping points from last year's Rome Open And he's in a really tricky spot because now he is vulnerable when the draw comes out of maybe playing Elkarez or Djokovic Potentially in a third round So it's gonna be a real tough draw for Zverev coming up with the French But a couple of players there that couldn't defend the points from last year have dropped down the ranks Let's have a look at the WTA rankings for this week and no change at the top with Friantek staying at number one, Zverev anchor at number two But that gap is closing very quickly and at the French Open things are gonna start to look really interesting Pagula's still at number three, but Rabakina by winning Rome She goes up two spots number four in the world a career high for her and will now avoid Friantek and Zverev anchor until the semi-finals So a huge boost in the rankings for her pushing Garcia down to number five and gov down to number six Jaber still at seven, Sakari at eight, Kazakina at nine and Kovitava still hanging on to that top ten spot for now Looking at the rest of the finals now for the ladies and no change at the top with Zverev anchor staying at one And Rabakina adding a thousand points still at number two, but not too far behind now Friantek at three, Pagula at four, Benchage at five, Rajikov is still at six, Kovitava at seven, Makutama Toba She goes up five spots into that top eight after a nice semi-final run in Rome this week So back-to-back semi-finals of big tournaments giving her a boost pushing Gov down to number nine OstaPenko also got a boost making the semi-finals of Rome up to number ten Which is five spots higher than last week pushing both Sakari and Azarenka out completely from the top ten So a few players there that have all but guaranteed their spot of the year in finals before the second grand slam of the year has even begun Let's go to the men's rankings now and we have a change at the top Carlos Elcaraz is number one in the world again after Djokovic failed to defend the points from Rome last year But Danu Mevedev he has also jumped up the rankings number two So Djokovic going from number one to number three in the span of a week due to the Rome loss that he took in the quarter-final So big changes to the rankings ahead of the French open with Kasparov still at number four So that top four seeds It's gonna be very interesting to see when the draw comes out because of course Djokovic being number three could draw Elcaraz in the semi-finals of the French So the draw is gonna be crucial for all those guys since you have stays number five We've got Runa going up one spot to number six career high for him pushing down Rube left number seven after of course Runa Making the final of Rome sinner stays at eight fritz at nine and Oshelia seen rounds at the top ten for this week So some huge changes to the rankings again this week over to the ATP finals race now And things are starting to take some big shape over there too with Mevedev going up to the top spot pushing Elcaraz down to number two after winning another trophy He's now won five tournaments this year and adding a thousand points. Thanks to winning Rome Elcaraz didn't have a great tournament in Rome He goes down number two with Djokovic staying at number three since he passed at four Sinner at five Rube left at six but Runa after having a decent run to the Rome final He goes up two spots a number seven pushing fritz down to number eight Hashinov goes down to number nine Tommy Paul falls out of the top ten completely making way for Cam Nori who goes back into the top ten So some massive changes for the rest of the finals as well And Daniel Mevedev is now creating a big gap between him and Elcaraz for one and two in the race of the finals So there you have it so much to talk about with the rankings and of course with the French open coming up It is so crucial It was it was so crucial for so many of those guys and girls to have a good run this week And the ones that did have a good run Mevedev were back enough not only give they get trophies But they also got rewarded in the rankings and hopefully the draw plays out for them in their favor because of course the draw Comes out on Thursday. Make sure you join us. We're doing the live draw preview show the draw ceremony show So make sure you join us that on Thursday But man the French open draws gonna look so interesting now there's so many different things that could happen But let me know down the comments below What's the biggest shock for you this week in the rankings? Is it the Mevedev's number two in the world number three months ago? Mevedev or even four months ago Mevedev was like out of the top ten He looked terrible and now he's into number two spot again and playing for the number one spot when we get to the French Open but now the rankings for this week crazy changes all around


All right, Saber-Tritters welcome on back here this Tuesday afternoon October 25th by sound phony I'm trying to hold in a sneeze. I've had this allergic allergic reaction across the whole afternoon so far Hopefully that subsides but great to see all of us here Otherwise great to see Alex Dan and Leda loud and clear from them Leda I got to go back to that email. You had sent me about all these home remedies I tell you good timing for that actually great to see all of us otherwise Chuck watching Boyle RBLX and his VeeRoo Mara on the screen here to begin. Hey, it's starting to make a new high right now much like it was doing from yesterday at this time Let me adjust my headset and we're gonna be good to go So hey the spy is pushing back up trying to make the same pattern here that it made yesterday I mean at least this time just off a double top compared to a triple top But you know at least from yesterday afternoon we ended up following the spy as a day trade or I'm sorry We end up following Mara as a day trade with the spy and heading into the afternoon I was saying to you folks like you know, it's possible to See this make a continued move up But not the big attractive like dollar move up that you would hope to have you know with the stock at the highs like this $12 $13 stock like Mara. You hope to see it But with all these crypto mining affiliates like we don't normally see that that big pop So moved up with the market nice move up at least into the close for about like 20 cents 25 Cents I'd say it's tradable but that takes us to here is history gonna repeat itself I mean it looks great pushing up really well Seemingly it's like ready to make a move up closer towards 15 at this point I wish I hung in for my swing trade from a week and a half two weeks ago at this point, right? I ended up getting spooked on this pullback here and got out and got out the profit But just a couple days later ended up making the more explosive push up and the one that I was looking for at least at that point But you know, I'm not in this trade now as a swing I ended up getting out on JD after the market opened up earlier today. That was a nice one But yeah for right now Mara is the day trade at least taking us into the close It's tradable and for that reason I'll put this on our main list But don't try and expect a whole run on this trade, right? We've always been saying that about Mara and Riot and all these Bitcoin crypto mining affiliate affiliated stocks All right, so with that though, let's go from top to bottom here talk about a tease TSHA ended up making this big push-up early in pre-market then from that point it fell really flat Thankfully if you were part of us in the traders talk workshop, which we ended up doing earlier today Well, thank goodness this ended up working out in our favor because once it broke back over the opening print 222 well, this is right right before we started But I ended up jumping in right here and I was looking for a pretty good continued push-up But a lot sooner than what we ended up actually getting so if you were part of us here and in traders talk inside the weekly Workshop inside the live trading room earlier today. Well, thank thankfully it ended up holding the opening print Moved up really nicely. I'm out of this trade right now I ended up getting out on the first leg right here then on the second half as it crept up closer to 250 But I didn't want to hold on any longer So it ended up pushing up a little bit more but had the violent ugly shake back down and you know for right now It's trying to build higher lows off that even so You know, it's trying to rope me back in it in if anything, you know, this stock ended up having some pretty good historical levels back from It's from earlier this year back from late May early June right off 244 245 That's what we were covering in traders talk earlier today You know, it's squeezing back. Whoa look at that pop and with that a 101,000 share order on the bid that just showed up and getting bigger at 250 That's huge. I mean big pop variable time during this meeting right now We'll take it. Hopefully doesn't run too far for me to not jump in myself But yeah TSH a death. I'm gonna put up put this on our watch list I was going to put this on our list with the higher lows, but pretty pretty good timing Nice pop and break over 250. Hopefully that could hold this support from here and really for this to Begin to squeeze up a lot higher. All right, there we go Perfect. So we had two stocks at least on our watch list so far two good ones at that I mean this in the Mara CGC not looking as prime for the real volume based pop ended up topping off Topping off right over three and it pulled back a bit really sluggish and flat right now Nice move from earlier in the morning though There's BBBY Bobby J ended up making a nice push early on and after the market opened up But you know we talked about this and traders talked to ended up breaking above big resistance off of 487 And for as much as one may think that they're gonna miss out on this trade popped up like 30 40 cents Instantaneously from there. Well that 487 ended up getting flipped into support held a higher low right off of five and then ran up beautifully after and even right now You could see I mean perhaps this could be like a meme play where like on Wall Street bets reddit stock You know that can make a nice squeeze. Maybe the AMC could go could go with it Game stops up like nine and a half percent. So don't count that out You know for right now even I'm gonna put all these kind of just on the back end Come back to all these at the end here at least like GameStop AMC bed bath beyond but um, you know All of them look good as of right now. I just don't want to build up too big of a watch list Then we fall back on those at the end CLS K for right now like hey, this looks pretty interesting. You know, it's at the highs recently breaking back over 350 You know, I mean the longer it could hold here off the highs. That's where you want to see it make a stronger run into the clothes Looks like this had some daily support roughly from like 370 378 low from back then 375 low from early July You know, it could have like 25 cents worth of room to get up there Again, I'm not too particular about that right now. I'd want to see more opportunity at least Righted ugly shake back down lower highs ended up leading to the break of support roughly up from that like 490 level as support Tupperware at the highs. I mean, I feel like this could be like a good short squeeze candidate I say that solely because of how far it had dropped off really from pandemic ended up having a huge drop-off over time here and Even for more but I'm even just relating to this year But you know from like 40 bucks or so all the way down to sub 10 so it has some short squeeze potential I'm sure over time Same to be said here on TW. Oh you got snapchat on the gainer side a lot is up today folks Snapchat it's gonna be hard to pass on because it's one that we're pretty familiar with just as a name brand stock and one Really over the last like week or so we've had a rise on pretty intently. So it's at the highs up big So we'll put snapchat on our main watch list. This is why we don't hold day trades throughout the day folks I ended up looking for a short on Pinterest early this morning I was expecting a lower high within the market and not to have the market run up as much as it did All right. Well, so it's all right to be wrong at times folks ended up getting out on the Pinterest short as it ended up pushing up It was even here at this time broke over the opening print ended up getting stopped out from minus four and Pushed up and then even from that point later on ended up trying to like pull back again But ended up really going up with snapchat looks like no This could just be like a sympathy play with snapchat perhaps some of the other social media stocks. Oh Big pop on Pinterest midday or Twitter midday. Let me just check the news out on this I didn't really see this up until right now Got back to my desk a little while ago. It's private chatting a few of our students Twitter shares trading higher following a report suggesting that Elon Musk has Told debt bankers. He plans to close the Twitter deal Friday I feel like we get that headline pretty much every day of the week now So led to a big pop not much more to it than that though Pinterest looks pretty strong on the way up It's up only you know three and a half percent but moving with snapchat perhaps, right? So snap will put on our watch list Pinterest for right now. We'll put on our side list here Maybe bed bath beyond could be better AMC. Maybe I think that might just about do it from the gainer side here folks Let me know if there's anything else looking just as good if not better from the gainer side up big We'll hop over to the losers list right now Xerox as a short this one ended up dropping off right out the gate to the point where there was not much like time to like Try and jump in you know dropped like a rock within the first five minutes So you want to look for a pullback and for resistance to hold it may have given us that briefly But I didn't really look for too much afterwards Like it was dropping off even going into the open and afterwards just you don't want to chase it So it was tough for me to try and anticipate the trade even from 13 It held under that level really well and led to the drop-off down to 12 But from there led to a pretty good dead cap bounce nice move back up at least up towards 13 20 ish 13 25 You know right now not a whole lot Happening I'd say really on I think there's better trades right now at this point BRO a little expensive dropping back down from 57 Bill CLF Cleveland Cliffs a little short early this morning was a better dead cap bounce as the markets were really pushing up Up up to begin. I'll tell you that might just about do it on the losers side folks If there's anything else that looks really good up down left right more than 5% just type it in the chat board here Let me know otherwise Doing a good job holding in the sneeze this whole time I got one. I don't know why it didn't pop up on my gainers list actually. It's not showing right there, but duo DUO I saw from my Benzinga Signals feed this has really been pushing up pretty nicely going into this meeting I noticed it going into the meeting, but that was from Benzinga I didn't have my eyes there just for the last 15 minutes So I kind of had to slip past me for a little while, but yeah, DUO Pushing up really well right now Now with that though just be careful because just looking at the weekly chart I feel like this is like a pop-and-drop type of stock You know when the volume dies off on this type of trade when it peaks and then dies off Oftentimes this will die off with it So it's already made a big enough move up over like 68 69 percent right now So just being pretty mindful of that at this point Maybe the VWAP can hold the support there roughly around 102 probably increase in price over time here All right, so we got marrow we got DUO We got snapchat and you know Pinterest if you do well on Pinterest day to day and if you think that you can get like another 50 cents a dollar out of this Trade and go for it, but otherwise I think snap might be more worth your opportunity Check out bed bath beyond here to wrap up. I mean it's been pushing back up pretty steadily here So it's kind of hard to ignore that Yeah, if anything I'd rather follow bed bath beyond the Bobby J trade We'll put that on our on our main list Don't mind that All right folks so for all of us on social media Facebook live YouTube I appreciate you stick with me each and every day each every afternoon and all throughout today if anything fast I should be back tomorrow morning I believe if you have any questions though for myself You know more than free to send it over right to my email address Josh at C2 trading calm I'll send you my home address if you want to send over some Claritan or some anti-histamine or any of that stuff I need it right now badly been holding in the sneeze since the beginning of the afternoon All right, so for Dan John Leda Alex for all of us here inside the chat board I will be on a coaching call. It's one of our students coming up at 3 p.m. Eastern I'll look to post and tweet this watch list coming up and I'll be inside the chat board at least taking us into the Market close. I'll talk to you all there. Take care Come a cyber group member today Just click the link below and receive all these amazing products and a world of knowledge For just nine dollars do it today


I was, we were talking earlier about how like there's more to what we do than just the money. You know, like there's riches in other ways. And that's not a popular message at conferences. That's not a message that I've shared personally as much. However, I can tell you that my father's been the interest industry for 32 years. This April, April 1st and yeah, he's made a ton of money. But he's been able to give us four kids the life he wanted. He's been able to take our family on vacations every single year. Like he's, he's, he's been able to get to where we can go and travel to some different properties. Like he's got to where it's able to keep our family closer forever. Which I'm 30 now. Maybe I didn't understand that in my 20s.  I don't know. But I'm starting to like understand and appreciate some of that stuff. You know, like that's, it's, it's not something that, but this industry created that possibility. Like I shared it recently. I shared it recently how only 4% of companies in the US earned seven figures a year. But there are more millionaires in our industry than any other industry in the world. But the rich in a lot of other ways outside of just money. You know, like we have the financial freedom. Like I was telling at the training earlier, like my, my, my in-laws. When I got married, told my wife, like, why doesn't Cody go get a real job? I don't think they're saying that anymore. You know, like that's what's so amazing about the opportunity we have and what we're doing. Like I can't think of another industry on planet earth that actually helps people as much as this one. I just can't. You know, like I, I, I talked about how for those that weren't there, we had a, we had a family friend pass away December 26th of 2020. My mom's best friend's husband. And the first thing that came to my mind is, did they have life insurance? Right? Well, the reason I asked that question is they were on my warm market list 10 years ago. And I didn't put forth the effort, the skill, the time, the follow up, etc. to, to make sure that I helped them. And I was internally disappointed with my effort 10 years ago because that just happened December 26th, 2020. And I've been in insurance since then and they were a more market list. Well, what happened is fortunately they have a ton of life insurance accident policies like they're well taken care of. But if I would have been a little more persistent, followed up a little harder and done the right thing, they would probably have more. Because what I'm learning is like I just upped my own personal life insurance to, I think I have a couple of policies, but like five or six million bucks. And the reason is, which sounds like a lot of money. My wife and I live a great life. That's not going to carry me. That's not going to carry her for much more than like several years or maybe a decade. So what I'm learning is no matter how much life insurance or how much we help people, we're putting a better situation, but it's never enough.  It's not enough. One of the things that's fast forwarded. I felt like personally it's fast forwarded my career the last three years is things like this. And Tony talked about it at the training how this was not available 17 years ago and how it didn't happen. You know, and it's like, if I can encourage you to do anything in 2021, it's do more of this. You know, like, like Joe's eventually probably gonna start rolling these out across the country. Who knows. We're talking about St. Antonio. There we go. Right. There we go. They're gonna start doing this and he's been doing every month. This is special. Right.  Like this is about like, I am going to pick up a nugget. I'm going to pick up a relationship. I'm going to learn something from somebody. I'm going to be able to take something that somebody says and go back and my income is going to go up because there's, I'll be able to help more people because of it because 92% of insurance agents fail, which is why we have a conference called 8% Nation. And the reason why 92% of agents fail is they don't know what a lot of you know. And so as a new agent, if you're here, like who's been in the industry for less than three years? Who's been in the industry less than two years? Who's been in the industry less than a year? Nice. You're in the right room. That's awesome. You're in there. Yeah, give them a hand. I can piggyback on that because I think events like this, even 8% or even a small hangout or whatever, you've got to get out of your comfort zone. You know, I think networking itself can be awkward, right? It takes a certain level of uncomfortability to go out and like, dude, I don't even necessarily know what I'm talking about, but I got to go meet with these people and network with them and communicate in a way to where I'm like, hey, not necessarily I need help, but I just want to learn from you. It's uncomfortable. It can be tough to where man, kudos to you, dude. Like you've been in less than a year. The fact that you already have on your mind and I know you're about to do stuff with Cody and just being here. Like what Cody said in the training, which you showed up and that showing up is just the most important part, man, is like as long as you show up, dude, it can be awkward, you know, like just soak it in and just absorb that, man. I love that, dude.  Brandon, who was sitting just right here, I just met him maybe three or four weeks ago to where literally he was just like, dude, I just want to get lunch. And I'm like, all right, let's do it like right now. Let's go today. So we go get lunch. I get a call and it's actually from a guy who wanted health insurance and he's a multi-millionaire that I'm good friends with. So I sent him to Brandon. Now, Brandon has now made like almost five grand revenue because of just going to lunch with me. And now I have a- But now not only do I have a peer in the industry or a referral partner, I have a friend. I also, hey, dude, you coming to the event? Oh yeah, man, for sure. And I was like, dude, sign up for Cody's thing, too. So he signed up for Cody's thing. And what do you know? Now he's going to benefit from Cody's services as well.  I mean, that is literally what networking comes down to. It's like just talking.  You know, dad always, this was my, I always preached this and it's like what changed my life is that the Bill Gates of this world were not made in their comfort zones. They weren't, right? So then what can I do? If I'm not good at speaking, like then work on it. But you are though. Yeah. I'm trying. My goal is speaking at 8%. But there you go. So if you could give us- I think I know somebody. Yeah. Andy, I'll be in touch. There you go. Andy's like, dude, come on, I'm artist one. No, if you could give, if you could give one nugget, one nugget that you would give to anybody regardless of industry or the vertical within the industry. To level up their agency, what would that be? Oh, if I had to give just one and also what I'm thinking, thank you and Tony for all the nice things you guys said about me. But at the end of the day, for those that don't know me, it's not about me, you know. Like I'm a part of this industry and doing the things I am and writing down I want to help every interstage in the world every single day because I really want to. And I've seen how much has helped others by doing that, you know. And so I had to think of like, okay, one nugget specifically that's going to help. It is, I would say the absolute best thing I could say is make a decision and commit to doing something this year. Something big. Something that scares you to death. Something that you wake up and there is massive amounts of fear. And the second piece of that, though, is you have to share the training. You have to go tell everyone it's going to happen.  And I put out that I'm going to do XXX and then I tell everyone that it's going to happen. It forces me to wake up. And so if you're in a spot where you're like, dude, I need to wake up, man. I need to level up. I need to go all in. I need to show I got some guts. I need to make 2021 special because 2020 sucked maybe, right? I don't know. If that's true, then the answer is commit to doing something immediately that scares you to death. That's good. That's good. Thank you, man. Thank you everybody. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you. I appreciate it. Thank you. I appreciate it. We're a true family business. I love it. Thank you, buddy. Hey, if you enjoyed this, I got another one you're going to love. It's right there. Click on it. See you in there. Most insurance agents wake up. We get in the office. It's 9 a.m. I'm going to get some coffee. I'm going to go talk to Susie by the printer. I'm going to go hang out with Joe in his office. I'm going to go to two hour lunch. I'm going to need to make calls, but you know what? I don't know. I need to get all the details there.


And welcome to the 2 p.m. Update with me David white what do we have we're up about four tenths of a percent on the S&P cash Nasdaq's way up again a handful of really large or big cap companies the top ones have a lot of people that are short and they're on the wrong side of the trade we continue to see that in stocks like Tesla today I did not look in the last few minutes see what we have here we'll get that Tesla's up another 10% today but if you listen to my show we talk about the last thing you want to do is be short of stock that people are shorting 40 or 45% of every single day yeah if everybody has the same idea on a short you're probably gonna be taken to the woodshed if you're short yours themselves too if you gap up and you have a lot of shorts in it just figure that they're not gonna let those folks out fairly easily they're going to some of those people were going to been out there on margin and they're gonna take them to the woodshed if you've never been to the woodshed you don't want to go that's why you should have stops and take your stops of course the old saying is if you don't take a little stop one day you're gonna take the mother of all stocks so see what we have here going on it broke we'll fix it here so we have a kind of a quiet day about 7 billion shares on the CBOE as we come back up I thought that as poor as the volume was that we'd probably find that somewhere around 4,000 was the top of this counter trend move in a bear market we're now just 23 points away from hitting 4100 the question is is that when the shorts are gonna give up shorting and we're gonna reverse now come Monday China's back open Wednesday we've got the Fed Thursday fun buying probably starts coming back in so it's gonna be a big week get your rest this weekend the reality is that navigating financial market


And in a moment, in a moment of celebration, the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps and the NSCDC in Adamawa, marked World Civil Defense Day with enthusiasm and pride. The event is part of the graduation ceremony of the 2023 batch of 73 recruits from the Nigerian Security and Civil Defense Corps held at the Federal Secretariat Complex buried ground in Yola, represented by Chief of Staff Dr. Edgar Amos and Sunday, loaded the NSCDC for its consistent dedication, integrity and professionalism, which have become hallmarks of the Corps' operations across Nigeria, particularly in Adamawa State. Security and Civil Defense Corps has widely been acclaimed for the dedication, integrity and professionalism of its officers and men in the discharge of their honorous responsibilities. Within Nigeria and especially here in Adamawa State, I'm impressed with the conduct of the NSCDC officers, which has significantly contributed to the relative peace and security that we enjoy in this state. Its accelerations, solutions in sub-dial, activities at the core, is a well-recommended and assuredness of peace for good people around the state, not only. The recent town-born meeting with the fathers and the handhands has yielded good for the though, and is still recorded above the others. Recorded above by NSDF in 2023. These people have come to illustrate this dedication, colluding to the well-being and security of our states. Today, we tonight present our parade of 23 officers and officials. These officers have been under very good care for six months. They have undergone series of training sessions, comprises of these teams, dreams, mental development, music education, and this movement. Today, we stand in three compulsion, responsibility, and service to a great nation.


How's everybody doing welcome back to my channel this week I'm gonna be covering up this tattoo that my client has on his left arm And he has been living with this tattoo for the last 10 years and it is my pleasure to get rid of this tattoo So with that being said let's get these things started.  That's what I wanted to know Say what? Who did your dirty? A couple guys That was a deep one bro Yeah it was Well there's been so long since I got tattooed Five years right? Yeah I mean this is a big project It is How'd you get into that situation? This one? Yeah Bro I literally so I was 19 like growing up like my parents like no tattoos like very you know traditional Okay And you know I was like screw it I talked to him they're like no don't get any tattoos I'm like I'm getting a tattoo And I literally went on Pinterest and was like that didn't men's half-sleeve tattoo And that's what came up I was like let's walk with it So you took that to the artist And I mean I'm already assuming you didn't do research on the artist right? No You just walked into any tattoo shop? Yup Okay Not the homie, not the No it wasn't anybody's like basement or garage or anything it was a tattoo shop but I was like you know who's available Yes Oh shit Almost fucked my shit up bro Holy shit I was walking with purpose that's why Bro that reminds me something so like my first job out of college The same thing happened to me I was walking back to my desk And it was a chair on rollers bro I literally I want to sit down and the chair moved and I like fell right on my ass Like in front of like the whole office bro I was like come on What they say They just laugh that ass off That you know of Right Yeah So what happened after you got this tattoo like right after it was done what was your first yeah What was your first like impression Um so like he did it in two sessions so it was like a two hour outline and then Oh so you had to go back Yeah Yeah I'll tell you what dude like I didn't really feel anything like it was like you know I wasn't like stoked about it And you're just like it's really just one of those things where I don't know if I wanted to be like rebellious And like get you know just get the tattoo and that's it But Yeah it was like I wasn't pumped about it but You know I was like hell yeah I've got it I've got it Yeah How old were you 19 19 Yeah And then the second the the compass and that was five years ago you said right Yup yeah so I like I said I was like I need to get something else so you know I was thinking about trying to like Piece together you know a full sleeve or half sleeve or whatever basically because like I mean this one didn't really Give a chance to flow with anything So I was just like you know something that You know How do we even know bro You're trying to come up with something I got it because Right yeah And is hunting something that other people do in Ohio Yeah it's huge especially where I live the county where I live We always either like the top or the second county for the most deer killed in the season Wow Yeah I grew up doing it Probably started when I was like 10 or 11 So you're immune to everything you know you kind of like everything all the adrenaline of that Yeah oh man it's crazy it's You know because I like the bow hunt So like you have to get within 20 or 30 yards of the deer And just like being that close to them it's a crazy experience Wow Okay so here we go we have the piece here The top area it is 10 years old The compass is five years old This one definitely feels a little bit more scarred This one it's it looks like it's easier to cover up But the good thing is that the concept that I have here is what's going to help me to cover up this piece easily Perfect One thing I do want to point out is that I did not plan this at all I just placed a stencil where I thought it looked good But the highlight or the area that has no ink of the compass Lended right in between the nose which that is super dope because that is my highlight of the face So I'm really happy that that happened very very unexpected And that's definitely going to work out I was just more focused on where the tattoo was going to look better at Because at the end of the day it has a whole bunch of contrast a whole bunch of detail So I didn't need to place it where it was going to benefit me But luckily it lended somewhere where it is going to benefit me So as far as the trees that I'm going to be adding here on the background I'm going to freehand them because I tried finding a good reference But I did not like any trees I feel like I'm just I memorized a few trees Little areas that I really like from every tree And I'm going to put it all in one by freehanding it on this little corner here Go ahead and check out the placement Make sure you like what you see That's dope That's tight huh You can already see like the shape of everything Yeah Bro that's awesome That's going to be crazy I can't wait Ten years Alright so we're going to get started with this tattoo that I have here And my approach that I'm going to be taking with this piece Is I'm going to start from the bottom to the top And I'm going to be working my contrast first I definitely want to do that with the bottom area Just because we have the compass looking super dark So by me applying my contrast It's going to let me know how bright I can make some areas And that is definitely a big thing when it comes down to this Because the compass it is super dark So we got to use everything that we can To make the bear on the bottom stand out And then as far as the background We got to make sure that it is dark But it is not solid black We got to make sure that we get to control our highlights and contrast That way the bear stands out And then the bear on the top stands out The background I am definitely going to be doing trees So the biggest thing that's going to help me to separate the background And the actual bears is by doing the leaves And in between the leaves I'm going to take advantage of those areas that are open skin To bring them out even more And that's going to give you the illusion that the trees are The sun is going right through it So those little things is not something you plan for It is just something that you go with the flow with Because you don't know where the open skin is going to benefit you But the only thing you should know is that You can execute it and you're confident in that Other than that everything else is just going to fall into place But yeah, I think other than that I'm going to start on the bottom And depending on where I see that I need to go deeper into explanation Of what I'm doing I'm going to stop the video and take my time And take you guys through my thought process Ready? Let's get it Damn, I was very fluent on that one I didn't even go online I started on these trees And I did want to go in depth on how I'm going to execute the trees Because there is a lot of little tricks that I'm going to be doing To make sure that it just doesn't look solid black Because that's one of the biggest things here We want to make sure that you can register where the trees are at And where the bear starts So I'm going to be using my... Let's see As of right now I'm going to grab my 14 round liner And with a voltage of a 5.0 And I want to get the shape of the trees first So here we go Since the sun is hitting the trees from behind All the trees are going to look like silhouettes So that's definitely going to help me out to create more contrast On these trees And I'm just going to play around with the texture here on the trunk Kind of do a little bit of everything The scribble technique I'm not going to go all the way up Just because around this area of the mouth I'm going to have a drop shadow of solid black And it's going to blend in into the trees So the shadow is going to become the trees So it's going to be a smooth transition I'm going to move on to the other tree here Before doing more details So now I'm going to switch to my 7 round liner And this is where I'm going to start adding my branches and my leaves To start giving the tree the shape And with the branches you know you can just have fun with them And just since it is a cover up I'm following whatever I need to cover up So for example this circle here I'm going to make it into a branch And then from here I'm going to stretch it this way Just to distract the eye from that perfect circle Because it can get a little complicated to cover up If it's very symmetrical shapes So I'm going to go here Go right behind there Same thing here Now that I have that I'm going to start doing the scribble technique By making it look like it has leaves all over the place By doing the scribble technique It allows you to do more in less time Less irritation on the skin And a better shape to the leaves Because you're going all over the place And you're slowly building up the shape of the tree And like I mentioned earlier I decided not to grab a specific reference Because I knew that I was not going to necessarily need it Because I was going to go with the flow And figure out where I want the leaves to be at And right in between the gaps I'm going to be adding white highlights My light grays to give it more of a brighter look And it's not just all the black across the whole entire thing It's crazy how branches and little leaves like that Just cover up so much Exactly And it's all about how you navigate through it Because if I was to do this randomly They would also not look good either They have to be placed with purpose That's a good quote right there Exactly And there you go That's exactly how I'm going to keep doing the other trees To fill all this gap in here And at the end once I'm done Right in between those gaps that I have here I'm going to start adding my light grays And my white highlights to give it more dimension to the trees And make it look like the sun is actually behind the trees And I'm not saying rays are going to be coming through But more of little areas that make it look like There's bright light behind it Let's keep going then How are you feeling? Good I feel exquisite I'm feeling great I love you I'm excited that you guys are here I'm super happy And I can't wait to start sharing everything with you guys Because at the end of this seminar What I want you guys to be able to do Is go back home and start doing some crazy cover ups You know what I mean?


Now we can take a look at our worksheet. Now I'm going to refer you back to the previous videos because I'm not going to go over every detail of this as we work on the worksheet. So if something seems confusing, you might want to go back and watch one of the other videos. On the front side of our worksheet, we have a section labeled Electric Fields and Forces, and we've got two questions there. Now you may want to go ahead and look at your worksheet at this point rather than trying to read the questions on the video because it's going to be a little bit hard to see all the details. So in the first question, it says calculate the force acting on a four micro coulomb charged object in a field of 15,000 Newtons per coulomb. So I've got a little empty workspace over here, and I'm just going to go ahead and make note of a few equations. So first off, our basic equation relating electric fields and forces is that the electric field is defined as the force per charge, and it can be the test charge or it can just be the charge of the object experiencing that particular field or force. But in our problem, we're solving for the force, so we have to rearrange that. Now Algebra Review, you've got the Q on the bottom, so you need to multiply both sides by Q, and that will rearrange to give us our equation that the force is equal to the charge times the electric field. So now we got to figure out exactly what values we're plugging into this because we're solving for force. So over here, we've got a four micro coulomb charge, an electric field of 15,000 Newtons per coulomb. So if I were to write out those gnomes, I've got four micro coulombs. But I want to remind you, and you'll get in the habit of doing this pretty soon, that micro means e to the minus 6. It's a metric prefix, so you want to go ahead and write that out. And then our electric field is just 15,000 Newtons per coulomb. So now you can just plug those two values into the equation. Multiply the charge by the electric field. Now I'll just really quickly make a note here that I've got coulombs here and coulombs on the bottom that will cancel out. So when you get finished with your problem, you should have the unit you expect for force. And make sure you don't forget the unit as you're filling out your worksheet. I'll let you plug the numbers in yourself, and I'm not going to tell you what the answer is right now. Now we continue on to the second question here. If a particle feels a force of 15 Newtons to the right in a region with a uniform field of 30,000 Newtons per coulomb to the left, what is the charge on the particle? So in this case, we still start with our same basic equation that defines the electric field compared to the force per charge. But now we're solving for the charge. So we're going to have to do some cross multiplication here. And when you do that, you come up with the equation that the charge is equal to the force divided by the electric field. And in this problem, it gives us information about to the right or to the left. So we want to think of these in terms of vector quantities. And to the right and the left in terms of our vector quantities means we've got plus i hat or minus i hat. So combining those directions as well as the information given in the problem, we end up recognizing that my force is plus i hat. My field is minus i hat. Now right there that should tell you something based on what we've seen in previous videos about the sign of the charge. But even if it's not intuitively obvious to you, when you go through and plug your numbers in, you're going to see something about the sign of the charge. Remember, charges are either positive or negative. I'm also going to remind you very quickly that when we set up our equation like this, the i hats will cancel out. The Newtons were canceled out, but that leaves one over one over Coulombs in terms of our unit. And so when we've got that fraction on the bottom, it's going to invert. And that should give us the standard unit we expect for a charge. And again, I'm going to let you go ahead and do that calculation on your own. Make sure you write it on the worksheet. Make sure it's clear what the unit is and whether it's a positive charge or a negative charge.
