Hello. Hello. Hello. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. I've never seen so many Blender users in one place. This is amazing. So welcome. Welcome. This is the 18th Blender conference. The International Yearly Conference in Amsterdam, where we celebrate that 2002 Blender became open source. And I have a nice keynote, but as usual, you know, I start with a little warming up for the audience. So first question I have for everybody is, of course, where are you from? And I first want to see all the Dutch people. Come on, Dutch people. How many Dutch people are there? That's not a lot, right? It's okay. Let's go to our neighbors, Belgians. Come on, Belgians. Good. Yes. And then French people. There must be plenty of them. Yeah. Germans. Come on, Germans. Hey. And our friends from the UK. Did they let you go? Okay, fine. So I'm not going to go after every European country. I'm not going to a little bit more regional. But first, of course, Italians. You should never forget about Italians, right? Spanish people. There's another big group. So then the whole Nordic area, from Iceland to Denmark and everything. Sweden. Good. Southern Europe, except for Italy and Spain, like maybe Greek people. Portugal. Good. The whole Central Eastern Europe, Poland to Albania. That's cool. Russia, of course. Don't forget the Russians, the French. Excellent. Now, we go to the South with Africa. Are there people from Africa? One. Yes. Now, of course, we go to Asia, China, India. Come on. Australia, New Zealand. Are they here? That's one. That's one. That's two. Wow. Okay, South America. South America. Brazil, Argentina. Awesome. Central America. Mexico. Mexicans here. The best animation filmmakers come from Mexico. No doubt, of course. Now, United States. Come on, Americans. You. Canadians. Where are the Canadians? Fantastic. So what part of the world did I miss? That's it, right? Good. First, occupations. How many animators are here? Character animators. Come on, hands. The awesome people. Animators, right? You are very wanted people. Don't forget that. So, general artists, designers, people who make visual art in general. Wow, that's a lot. Or people who would consider themselves a modeler. Have you specialized in character modeling or modeling? Good, good. Or more like designer, industrial design, models, props, environments. Good. Then there are, of course, scientists here. People who do science. Working at a university, right? Something like that. Good. People who do teaching, training. Awesome. Other here are producers. Film producers or game producers or people who produce things in general. Awesome. Or people who are working for a studio where they make games or film. So who's using Blender in a paid shop? Who got paid for using Blender? Getting more and more. Awesome. Good. So who is involved with Blender as a C or C++ developer? The Blender developer. Show hands, Blender developers. We will see them on Saturday or so in the last event. Those people, everybody hands. Those people, you can harass them during the whole conference for anything. Right? Good. But then there will show Python developers. Or people who do add-ons. All right? Good. Awesome. Documentation, website work for Blender. Is add-on here? Okay. Who reported a bug last year? Did it get fixed? No? Yes? So who did not get a bug fixed? You reported. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Okay, you can try to get your attention here at this place and we will make sure that these kind of things are going to happen. Finally, for who is this the first Blender conference? Almost half, yes? The second Blender conference. We are going to count from three to five, three to five conferences. Six to ten conferences. Oh, we're getting the die-hard again. Or more than ten conferences, even. Yes? Then we get the ultimate die-hard old farts who have the eight-teenth anniversary of the conference. One, two. Good. I feel sorry for you guys. You have to come every year, right? You cannot skip.  Okay. So I was looking for a team for my keynote. What am I going to talk about? And of course, there's actually only one real topic, right? We won! Yes, you won. I won and Blender won, right? Yes, cheer for yourself. Look at this. The whole industry wants us to be on board. You have to be part of the industry. And not only that, it looks like Blender is going to be the new industry standard, right? Woo! So that's so awesome. But you know me, I start asking also some questions, right? Like, is it really, right? What does it mean really to be a winner or to be among the winners? So I was looking around for some counseling or advice. And I ended up with reading this book and watching a couple of talks. And this is a writer and journalist, Anand Giridharadas. And he's the world leading expert for winning. Really. He knows everything about winning, especially the winners who are on the top, right? The industry winners. He was giving a talk at Google about this, and the talk was so controversial that Google didn't even want to publish it for a while. But they did in the end. It's fantastic. So I want to show two little excerpts from what he said to Google people about winning. I think when I was growing up, I remember seeing on the news, you know, you'd see news of some war-torn country, and you'd often see, like, rebels in pickup trucks, you know, fighting this kind of ragtag army, fighting an unjust king or fighting a president that was corrupt. And sometimes the rebel army would win. And the guy in the back of the pickup truck would end up in the palace. And I think that's what happened to tech. This was, in many ways, an industry of renegades and hackers and tinkerers and people doing weird things. And I could imagine when some of these technologies, and some of you may be old enough to remember, these technologies were getting off the ground, I can imagine that to be up against General Electric or Walmart or IBM, you must have felt like rebels against an incredibly powerful establishment. But here's the problem. When the rebel in the pickup truck ends up in the palace, you know you're in trouble if they keep wearing that beret. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, so he said it to Google, and of course people at Google think they are the winners, right? But they are not only that, they are establishment now. They are not the revolutionaries. So there's a difference between them. So are we now establishment? Are we going to be the conservative people who will only gather more power, get more money in and whatever that means to be on the top? Or are we still the rebels or the hackers or the thinkers or the community of blended users who will have fun? Can you do both, maybe? There's another thing he wants to say about it. Something that you probably have heard five times in the last week. The word win-win. How many of you have heard that term in the last week, would you say? How many of you have used that term recently? And what's your general impression? Win-win, good or bad? Good. Good, right? Positive. It's not just one victory, it's two, right? Double the pleasure, double the fun. What I want to suggest today is that win-win is a more sinister and dangerous ideology than we recognize. And I know that's a little mind-bending, particularly in an institution like this that has created some genuine win-wins for the world. But here's the problem with a lot of what happens when the win-win becomes our way of thinking not about business, but about social change. Win-win starts to mean that the only kind of social change that is acceptable or the kind that should get the most funding and the most attention is the kind of social change that kicks something up to the powerful. The only kinds of social change that are good are the kind that don't cause problems, don't ruffle feathers, don't blame anybody, don't accuse anybody, don't have perpetrators, just solves a problem in a way that is a win for the people you're helping and frankly a win for those who are helped. And what is... So, yeah, so there is a cat, right? So if you get all the support and all the people of the industry on board will be helped, they give you all the money you want and you can do everything you want to think, but there is a cat, right? So this is not so much the win-win thing. They have their own agenda. Of course they want to have something, right? They want us to join them, right? That's what they say, come on board. People were telling me things like, hey, Tom, are you now going to listen to us to the industry? Are you now going to do things that will help us? Are you going to give professional support, services, dedicate the private centers, the business class entry to the bug tracker, or are we going to have something that will help the industry? Are we going to do dedicated something for them? And I'm like... No? Right? No, right, we have to do something, but I don't want this thing to be twiddling up, right? We have to do the other way around. What it is to say to the industry, join us, right? Come on board with Blender, with us and the community. Of course we have to change, we have to grow up, right? Blender is common of age, so we are going to professionalize our own channels, improve our own organization, and make it a system which is accessible for everyone, free, online, but include the professionals and the industry. Then I ask myself another question. So why is it, right? Why are people using Blender? So why is this thing taking off so much? Right? It's not about the left mouse click, or about a little bit, maybe, or the 2.8. Of course it helped a lot. So I was at a festival this year, it's called NAC, and there were like 10,000, 15,000 animators and filmmakers celebrating animation. And in the evenings everybody was hanging out in places, cafes, and I would meet them with lots of people there, especially also young people. I was at the Santa Richard set, 17, 18, 19-year-olds, born in this century. And they were looking at me like, as if I was Santa Claus, or the abominable snowman walking around with big eyes, and like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Tom, they're all using Blender, of course they're using Blender for everything, but not in our schools. The teachers teach us Maya, but Maya is for old people, you know? So we have to learn it, for our own projects, and privately, we're all using Blender. So... It happened several times. At some moment I asked one of the kids, about why, right? So why is it? Because you're young, you know how to find your ways on the internet, and you can't get educational versions, or trial versions of Maya, or any software you want. So what is it that you use Blender? Well, you said community. That's community. What do you mean? Well, if you want anything with 3D online, as an animator, as a modeler, or as anyone who's interested in 3D, you end up with Blender. That's the whole social media, it's all the thousands of websites, this gigantic community of people online who help out each other, and who share their work. There's no way that you can get help from professional Maya users online, because there are only a couple of thousands of them, and they pay so much money, they have to work for the license and do stuff, they're not going to help out all the kids online. So Blender is part of the ecosystem of the internet. And don't people like that? A similar question I had for the professionals, because suddenly we had studios coming on board, and not only Tanzan animation in Canada, Ubisoft and others. Ask them why, why, why is it? Because I don't think Blender is the best software, right? We don't have the best people, the best CEOs or the best whatever, and Blender, we do our best, but Blender is okay, I think. You have choices to make. So why do we want to use Blender? They say, well, because you guys care, right? And that's right, because I care, I care a lot about what I'm doing. I'm super enthusiastic and passionate about 3D. And I know that everybody who's involved with Blender has that same passion and enthusiasm for what you do. We truly care, I care about the users, I care about the software, and I care about making awesome things for the software. And that's the main thing, and that's unbeatable.  We care. Everybody will start booing and throwing stuff at them. I think we can say that, we really care. The third thing I want to talk about what makes Blender unique and why people use it is because Blender has a story. That's a story of that little guy who went to L.A. showing a program, a 3D program that fitted on a floppy to the film industry there and not getting laughed at. It's about the community who brought back the sources when the company went bankrupt. It's about all the bold artists and developers that make open movers. It's about the Blender.org project who proved that you can make big leaps for 2.5 and 2.8 that you can actively innovate. It's about all the independent websites and businesses that are popping up everywhere around Blender. And of course the industry coming on board. But it's also the story of people who work in prisons and rehabilitation programs using Blender. I heard stories of people who are artists who are using Blender to get out of their limitations and start communicating. Or some boys in Africa in a little town make a science fiction film. That's just about all those people. It's about the story of people. That's what the Blender product is. Now I have to show you this diagram. This is the Golden Circle from Simon C. Neck. And this is like the holy grail of every branding and marketing person. They all have fantastic products. They want to make lots of money. But then they have the main question. Like why? Like why do people want this? Why do people want to buy our product? But I think for Blender we have this clear. The why. The why is the community. Our social ecosystem is our passion. We really care. And it's our story. We have many more chapters. The how is open source. Free software. And those things are beautifully connected together. And that makes the product. And this thing will keep being Blender. And this is unbeatable. That's why I think Blender is a completely unstoppable force. Let's talk about the future. So yeah, I have an announcement to make. So I will step down as chairman of Blender Foundation. Coma one day in the future. Right? I got you. You don't get rid of me that easily. But I have to be honest. What? I'm already setting up the Blender development project as almost an independent entity. I'm not developing anymore. I'm pushing a little bit, but we have a fantastic team who takes care of Blender and brings it further. And what? Well, give them an applause. What I want to do in the coming years, five years, something, I want to do the same thing for the Blender organization. To make sure that we have something built solid. I have a couple of things that will happen in the coming years. One is that the institute will become a real working company owned by the Foundation. That will be one unit. The institute is, for example, organizing the conferences, having the offices, making sure that developers are being managed and do all kinds of things to make sure that Blender is being organized very well. I want to find directors to join the Foundation, especially for operations, the person, and for development to lead development and develop relationships. For example, to keep the sponsors happy and keep them on board. And then I want to install a Foundation supervisor board as the people who can come in once per year to look at how things go, approve on the budget, and say it's good or right. We have to do something else. What I also want to work on is to further professionalizing development because there's a lot of things that we are behind on. We have to get a more welcoming portal, for example, for onboarding. We have to implement engineering practices. I find those horrible and boring, but it helps to get more developers on board, especially more professional developers who want to be able to understand how the software works without having to read 100,000 lines of code. Right, what we have to do currently. And we have to nurture new talent, and especially, we have to protect our key developers. Other people who are doing fantastic work, they are the best in the world, and they are full-time workers on the back track, for example. And they are swamped in work, so we have to organize ourselves better. So, in short, to solidify the blended project for the future. That will keep me occupied for a couple of years. What about me, right? Really, what about me? Because I have my own passions and desires as well. And I won't give up on that. For example, right, I still have this project going. It's the 803.7 without that spy movie. Whenever I have time available, I want to push this further and make sure that we can make this film, of course, with Opsource and Blender and in the Blender Animation Studio. The other thing is how to blend the cloud. We want to work on growing that further and really explain to people that actually the cloud is like the animation studio. And if you grow the cloud, you become an independent production company. That's a place where people can make high-quality industry-level content fully independent and supported by a community. So, I have another announcement, and that is we're going to work on Cosmos 2. So, there's a little disclaimer here. We're still working on getting the story to really fleshed out very well.  And that's what will happen in November and December. And we know how to do this. And then, thank you to our sponsors, right? They made, for example, those 4,096 LED lights possible. To fantastic screen what we have. And thank you for listening to me.


So this is the second video where we're talking about getting a Linux shell on a Windows machine now I do know that Windows has Linux subsystem and even runs the Linux kernel I'll supposedly when you're working with that subsystem. I don't know about any of that I'm talking about just be able to get a useful shell and your core tools available quickly and simply on a Windows machine whether it's Windows 10 or going back Probably all the way back to XP. I would assume this would work in the previous video We looked at using busy box, which really truly wasn't bash now We're looking at something else that actually probably it truly is a bash shell But it has all your core tools as separate executables as well So you don't even have to go into the shell to X to call those executables But the drawback is it's not one file and it's much larger than the busy box option So most cases I go with the busy box option But here's another option for you to check out. So again, as I mentioned in the last video I record this on a Windows machine and I was unable to preview the videos I was recording and so the frame rate is Kind of horrible and I record the audio separate on my phone So take this video for what it is. It was the best I could do with the situation. I have I hope you learned something from it I hope you find it useful. Okay, we're looking at another way to install bash on a Windows system again I'm aware that there's the whole Linux subsystem for Windows, which I'm assuming is more than just a bash executable But I haven't played with that at all in a previous video. We looked at using busy box But let's go ahead and look at this if you Google bash for Windows somewhere in the list You'll probably find this when bash bash ports for Windows and it's on source forage so go ahead and click on that and we'll scroll down and Click on the download the latest and I have Pretty much no experience with this. I just downloaded to test it and it does seem to work I do prefer again the busy box Example so this is in a zip file just over five megabytes where the busy box was About half a megabyte. So this is about 10 times the size But it does seem to have a few more tools, but you notice it's not a single executable file And if you look into here, there's libraries So this looks like it's using Sigwin, which I think is how you say that So which is like a Linux or Unix type environment for Windows? And this just seems like it's taking certain files from it and giving it to you one little zip file So what I'm gonna do here is I'm just going to Copy all these. I'll go to my downloads directory and I will create a new Folder I'll call it bash I'll go in there. So again, there's a bash executable in here and it looks like after this is extracted it's 13 megabytes So now it's you know, almost 30 times the size busy box, but again, there seems like there's more tools in here There's even a C compiler in here. It looks like Once that is done extracting I will go ahead and run CMD I'm moving to my downloads directory and then moving to my bash directory here And now I should be able to type in well, I shouldn't theoretically think you'll type in these commands So yeah, I can run these xp. So if you were to extract these files to your win system 32 folder I would think they'd be usable already in your Windows programming scripts But we should be able to type in bash here and actually get a bash shell and with the busy box Like I said, it had a bash shell But I'm not sure if that truly was bash or if it was another shell the a shell or hash shell However, we say it which is very similar but may not be completely compatible where this might be a actual bash shell But once you're in here, you should be able to have all your your commands that you can run That you would normally be able to run, you know, you should probably have grep in here Ock and these might be fuller versions of the program. That's pretty sure when I typed in Ock in busy box It gave me a lot less options and the help output Then then this is so it's another option again The busy box option is nice. It's a single binary and has most those core tools And it's very small where this is multiple files. You can extract There's no linking with busy box if I wanted to access W get From like a batch file when it was batch file. I would have to call it through busy box. We're here or link it We're here. It's just a W get executable So all these tools again are available If I was to put them in my system path anywhere I want So you got your G zip and and grep and bunch of other things in here So more than just those core tools that I normally would use But this is another option for installing a shell of some sort in this case. It's probably an actual bash shell If I did echo dollar sign zero just tells me bash. Okay But yeah, I just wanted to give you another option by is in here. Oh, I didn't seem to work through this It's having problems with my terminal type probably. Yeah, probably a way to get that working But by did work through busy box. So if you need that which is still again, probably a stripped-down version of by not full version But yeah looking through here. There's Yeah, 119 items in here an empty folder and some libraries But most of these are probably about a hundred different commands that you probably used to on your link system Now available Your Windows system and I have to do is put them in that Windows system 32 folder or in any folder that you have linked to a As a path in your path variable And you should be able to access them. So you'll account to a hundred here. If I is the chef command in here It's not and I think the chef command is in the busy box Let me exit out of here go back and I'll go I don't actually have to go out here I did put busy box in my system directory. So I should just go do this and now if I do this count to a hundred I can pipe that to chef. Yeah, so the chef commands in the busy box one Which is a very useful tool although. I'm sure there's something you probably use ochre grep to shuffle follow pretty sure Or the output of a command Anyway, that's just a quick look at another way to get a shell Bass shell or some sort of Unix type shell on a Windows machine with a lot of core tools So I do thank you for watching and I hope that you have a great day


Hey Virgo, welcome back to your reading. This is Kelly from House of Virgo. If you're new, please smash that like button and do subscribe if you enjoy the reading. If you want to get a personal reading, I am running a special for December. The link is in the description box below this video. Okay, let's hop right into this. You guys, I'm going to do a Celtic cross reading for you. I just kind of felt called to do it, but I am using my new Christmas deck, so if you don't know about it, I will show you. I got it off of Etsy. If you're interested, you can just go to Etsy and look it up. It is called the Winter Weight Glitter Edition. So I know these cards are super awesome. Love them. Alright, so let's get into your reading. Virgo Sun, Moon, Rising, Irvingis. Let's just see what plays out here for you guys. Okay, let's just get it going. Alright, take a look at the past position. So you've got the Hermit. That's your card. Okay, that's you for sure, Virgo. Current, you have the High Priestess. The challenge is the Five of Cups. Driving the reading is the Queen of Cups. Okay, highlighting is the Three of Pentecosts. Coming up near to the future, you have Judgment. Position of view, you have the Night of Cups. External to you, you have the Two of Cups. Hopes and Fears, you have the Empress. And the Two of Pentecosts with the World as your outcome. Okay, bottom of the deck, you've got the Fool, Virgo. So definitely in this position of embarking on a new adventure in December, maybe taking a trip or traveling, freeing yourself, taking a huge risk of some sort, and being a bit kind of like reckless. Not a bad way, but I mean all the signs are there, but for you to not do something, but it looks like you're like, nope, I'm doing it. I don't care. I'm taking this chance. Okay, it may not be a bad thing. Look at the little doggie here. That little doggie is trying to tell the Fool here. Don't do it. Don't do it. Watch going off that cliff.  What's, what have I got left to lose at this point? I feel like that's your overall energy in December, and that is Aquarius energy. You know, let's have the Sun underneath there. So it looks like it's whatever you're planning to do, or whatever risk you decide, it's not planning. Let me take that back. Whatever risk you're deciding to take, you may not even know about it right now. It might come up later. It looks like it's gonna be a good thing. It looks like you coming out of your comfort zone, and just basically saying, you know what, if at all, I'm doing it. I don't care. I'm not gonna let anything hold me back. Okay. So in the past, you have the hermit, Virgo. So it looks like maybe you just did a hell of a lot of reflecting, keeping things to yourself, doing a lot of thinking, overthinking, isolating yourself in your past, or behind you. However, it could have been yesterday, it could have been the past six years, however long, just kind of keeping to yourself, hermitting, self-reflection, looking at yourself, that kind of thing. The current energy is the high priestess. So you, you know, Virgo, I feel like whatever past things you've been taking a look at, you have figured some stuff out. You've got some answers. It looks to me like, you're keeping it to yourself though, but whatever you've been reflecting on in your past, it looks like you've figured stuff out. I don't know exactly what that might be, but now you're in the position of, from the hermit to the high priestess, where you're like, yes, I know, but you're keeping it to yourself. I don't feel like you're sharing what you've come to learn with anyone currently, right now.  And I don't know, Virgo, it's like behind the veil. You're just keeping very silent at this time. Okay. Now what's crossing you is the Five of Pentacles. So the real challenge here, it feels like the challenge for you is, how can I say this? Maybe it's a fear, but there's something here about not being left out in the cold. It's almost as if you are not saying anything from what you've figured out or what you've come to know, because you don't want to put yourself in a position where you're in a, in like in a struggle, right? Hmm. This is interesting. What have you come to find out? Maybe for some of you, it's about yourself, but for others, it might be about a person, another person, place or a thing.   Look at this. I feel like you're gonna like let it out. You're gonna let something be known. That's what I said in the beginning, taking some kind of risk, and maybe others are saying, or there's like your, your conscience is telling you not to do it. Yeah, it looks like you're gonna do it. It looks like you're gonna say something. This could be, it feels like the reason for not saying anything or not opening up to a person, place or thing about a person, place or thing, or about yourself is the risk you might get rejected, or you might be abandoned, or you might feel like, you know, like you're kind of in between right here with the high priest. It's like, okay, if I say this, I'm gonna risk, I might lose everything.  You've been keeping quiet.  You know what I kind of feel like? Some of this is about with the Queen of Cups driving this reading. I feel like this has a lot to do with opening up how you feel, sharing some feelings or a feeling about something. Yeah, because Queen of Cups, it's a very emotional card, but she's got a lid on this cup here. She keeps her feelings and her emotions within. You see that lid on there? That's the little robot that I can't unsee that cup. That chalice has a lid on it, and it's like, should I, should I open up and speak my mind, express how I feel? It looks like you might have this fear, like if you do it, not feeling fear. It's more like you're objectively looking at it saying, well, if I do this, this could turn out really bad. This can make things even worse. Whether it's expressing love or expressing anger or expressing whatever, whatever emotion you have going on that you're keeping within, I think it looks to me like you're gonna do it with that full card now. You do have the three of pentacles here. So there could be a situation that involves, this situation might involve, might involve work or some other people. It could also involve a committed relationship that you're in currently. It could also involve a committed relationship that somebody else is in. For some of you, I just heard, you might want to tell a friend or someone you're close to about some infidelity that's going on. Or if there is someone's doing something, they're broke or they're stealing from their company or a place you work or stealing from you and you may have to say something. You might not want to. Yeah, and that's the overall message that I'm getting in this present time. It could have something to do with a school situation, education, a work situation, a marriage commitment, yours or somebody else's or a relationship, some type of commitment. Alright, so here's what I'm here to tell you. The result of that coming to you going forward is judgment. So it looks like Virgo, if you were to say something, open up and say something, judgment will come down on that or judgment, a judgment will be made. Okay, give me a second here. I mean the truth will come out. That's what I'm hearing. Even when I look at this judgment card, the truth is going to come out. If this has something to do with a friend, you know, if you open up whatever the situation is, if you open up and say something, like it's going to be taken seriously. That's what I have to tell you because that's what judgment is. This is like a big deal. This is basically final clarity, acknowledgement. It will be acknowledged but it will release a great deal of, I don't know if it's frustration or just pent-up energy.  Now look, your advice here is the Knight of Cups. Your advice Virgo is to go with love with whatever you are taking a risk here in doing. Okay, if you are trying to express your emotions or express romantic feelings for someone, I feel like it will be taken very well and I feel like with the truth and clarity coming out, I feel like this is a really good thing. I feel like you don't want to take the risk of seeing something because you might lose out or be left out in the cold but I don't really feel like that's going to happen because the person on the receiving end of this message that you give or this risk that you take to a Cups is here. So this is a coming to agreement. This is a meaning of the minds. This is mutuality. So if you're expressing your feelings towards someone or your affection towards someone, I feel like this person feels the very same way and they will express that in return. I feel like somebody will want to meet you, to talk, sit down and talk with you, get together, tell me more kind of a scenario. You know, if you are opening up and telling someone some bad news, if it's bad news, I feel like if you go with love, I feel like there will be an understanding from the other person. Yeah. Okay. So you've got the Empress here and if you're going with love and expressing your emotions, like I said, I feel like the other person, that if you're expressing them to somebody else, it's gonna, it will express them in return, the same, the very same. They feel the same way about you. Now, your hopes and fears. So you have the Empress here. So that's, that's, it's a different element than the High Priestess, but it's a three and it's about communication. So it kind of makes me feel like you're hoping that you'll be able to express yourself with grace and candor and class.  You hope you'll be seen by someone this way because the Empress is someone who is very nurturing and loving and understanding, you know.   But you know, these are hopes and fears and I feel like, I feel like hope and fear is necessary, but I don't, I feel like it can change the hopes and the fears, you know. You can make your hopes turn them into destinies, you know, and your fears, you can live them out too. So it's really just a decision. The outcome though, you have the two of the pentacles and you have the world. So this is weighing all the options and this is for you and the person who's on the receiving end of what you have in your mind and what you're wanting to let out. Weighing the options, balancing things out, making a decision to walk away from the past and have a new brand, brand new beginning. Yes. So this feels to me, I just want to get one more card. Oh, there you go. This ends beautifully. This is like, this is one of those Christmas hallmark movies that she's, you know, you watch, I have a friend that she's just like every year. I watch my program, my hallmark program. So this outcome is beautiful to people making a decision. The twos are always about partnership to have this like brand new start. So a friendship gets stronger because of honesty, integrity, truth and love. That's being told and shared about something that you want to hold deep within and you don't want to share because you fear of being rejected. It turns out beautifully. There we go. So I don't know exactly what you have going on in your mind or what's on your heart at this time. But if you've been kind of hymning and hauling around like, should I say it? Should I tell this person? Should I open up? Should I share this? I feel like it looks like you're going to do it. It does. It looks like you're going to take a risk. pregnancy card just came out. Oh my God. Okay. I think enough said there for some of you. This might have something to do with someone expecting a baby. Okay. We do have the Empress here, which can represent motherhood. So for some of you, this surrounds that topic. Okay. Yes. This reading was just, I don't know, it just flowed beautifully. Okay. Let me see if there's anything else that shows up. That just was very surprising because that did not even cross my mind or my heart or my intuition whatsoever. But it looks like for some of you, it may not be your pregnancy. Like it could be. You might find out you're pregnant and be like, Oh, should I tell them? I don't know. Or it could be you find this out about somebody else. Okay. I'm not going any deeper with that. Then you've got they'll be back expect to hear from them soon. All right. So someone that you might be waiting to hear from while they'll be returning. Now pregnancy, let me also say pregnancy is also not necessarily about actually being pregnant, even with the high priestess. This could be the start of the birthing of something new, a new idea, new plan, a new relationship, some new beginnings. And you do have the world here. Some of you might be wanting to share your emotions or just simply ask somebody out that you've been hesitating about. Not sure how it would turn out needing a little guidance about that. And it looked like it was going to turn out good that it would be wouldn't be rejected. You might reach out to someone or you may have already reached out to someone hoping to hear back from someone. And it looks like they will respond to your message because there is a little envelope here with a heart. Could be a text message, could be actual mail. And then you also have you have give it time, everything in divine timing, let let things flow. And you have patience, just a few more months. Good things come to those who wait. And months does make me feel like possible pregnancy. Okay. Some of you might want to tell someone you think you might be pregnant or you might be with someone who could get pregnant, you might be wondering or asking them if they are. There is something going on here for sure. Hold on. Okay, so we've got Earth sign, Taurus Virgo Capricorn. Okay, significant sign showing up here, signs you or you could be dealing with a Virgo Taurus or Capricorn or the situation could involve another Earth sign. Let's see what else. Interesting reading today. So this is for the month of December. I know some of you are like, I'm at that age where there is no pregnancy. I'm not having children. That's fine. It may not be that scenario for you. It could just be the beginning of something new starting. Okay, and you've got manifest. Tell the universe exactly what you want. Yes, key word exactly when manifesting the specific with the universe. Okay, some of you are moving. There's a change of residents moving in with your partner. One of the two. Let's see. Anything else for Virgo? Okay, and you've got intimacy, sexual chemistry and reminiscing. Wow. Okay, this could also be about wanting to start a family for some of you. Let's get a couple more messages here. Okay, you've got keys on a ring. Many options, a decision, one night stand. So there might have been a connection, a physical intimate connection with someone like a one night stand that could end up in pregnancy or a possible or a scare. Okay, this situation might be involving that could be keys to a new home. Holy, you've also got twin flames, Yin and Yang, Zen balance, union duality coupling complementing each other for some of you. Yeah, involving a twin flame. For sure. Okay. Wow. I can't believe this. There you go. This is what this is all about lightning sudden change, shocking news, surprise epiphany, upheaval and transformation. So listen, someone is someone going to be shocked by something you reveal. It looks like it. Is it a bad thing? Not necessarily. It looked like it was going to be a good thing. It's news that you share. I feel like Virgo. I'm not definitely like I don't I'm not telling you to definitely share something with someone.  But if you have something on your heart, or something that you feel like needs to come out, I can tell you one thing, keeping something deep within that needs to be shared, keeping that suppressed, it will eventually come out in probably one of the worst ways.  I know there are some things in the world that we take to the grave. But I don't always think that that that should be, this is just my opinion. I don't always I feel like if you're not even going to write it down, or find a way to channel it, it will live inside you and take on a life of its own. So you do what you feel like you need to do is best for you, of course. Okay, so you've got acceptance, everything happens for a reason. So I do feel like they're saying and I feel like they keep saying this that whatever is whatever is coming out of you, I feel like it will be accepted by another person, people. It will be accepted. Okay, that this whole scenario and this entire situation, whatever specifically it might be, it looks like it's um, it's happened for a reason. Some of you've got marriage here relationship moving towards a sacred union because of this opening up. Let's see. Oh, and now you've got twin flame again. That's twice. So for some of you, it's a twin flame thing. I know you love to hear that. I know you love to hear that. For some of you, it's a twin flame thing. Alright, let's take a look and see what this person and you Chinese signs are. What are the Chinese signs? Okay, year of the dog year of the monkey. If you don't know your Chinese sign, just Google Chinese zodiac sign and put in the year of your birth. Okay, rabbit, horse, monkey again, dragon. I gotta fix my screen. It's terrible. Rat, a snake, and a goat. Okay. Very interesting. There we go. At least something. Alright, let's get some see what names and numbers and what comes out here. Okay, someone's born 1970. Someone is 33 years of age. So we have the the letter Y, the letter Q, the letter E. This could be initials your initial or the person on your mind or in your heart. Okay, we've got the letter H. We have the letter A. We have M. Okay, ham. Okay. 1987 significant year. Age 29. Okay, September 9. Alright, someone goes to AA. Okay, we have the letter V. Let's get some alright, someone was born in June or is due in June, I should say. Okay, 46. Age 46, age 53. Let's see if we can get some zodiac signs here. You guys were so funny yesterday. I saw a lot of your comments in regards to the sexual orientation from yesterday's reading.  Is that what they're going to tell me? Like, I don't really know if that's what they were going to tell you. I didn't pick that up in the reading. But if you picked it up, maybe that is. Okay, so we have Libra, Sagittarius or Aries. This could be the person that you're dealing with here. Someone's also born in February and September, that would be you or another person. Okay, we have 1985 and 1965. And September birthdays. We have September 14. September 16. You have the 15th, August 31. September 19. September 21. The 22nd, September 1. Okay, okay, okay. All right, you guys, let's get into your charms and see what your charms have to say. Oh, wow. I love one that we get this. You've got two hearts here. Okay, see those two hearts entwined. Yep, very significant for some of you. This is about two lovers, for sure. Hearts entwined, that could be a twin flame right there. Why do I say that? Because when I look at this upside down, that looks like a twin flame to me. All right, you got a twin flame. You also have a single heart, very big, single heart. Someone has a very big heart, for sure. Wow. And now you've got a double star. So two hearts and two stars.  So another twin flame. Hearts and stars. Very beautiful. A lot of this is playing out right now. I'm just feeling like, it's very celestial. You also have a leaf. They just told me Canada. As soon as I look, oh, is that the maple leaf? I don't know. I just, I just heard Canada, something about Canada, British Columbia. Perhaps even this looks like a flame. Oh, someone's name might be leaf. I don't know if anybody would have that name anymore. But this even this looks like a flame. So something here to do with a leaf, maple syrup, pancakes, Canada. And here's wow, a heart key. Okay, so there is going to be this. I do feel like strongly with this, there is going to be somebody who's receiving a key to someone's front door or giving a key to someone's front door. So like I said, there is some type of relocating or moving happening as well. You could be getting a key to a new vehicle or a new home in December or giving a key to someone or getting new keys you and another person moving in together as we were seeing that. Let's see if there's any other charms. Hmm. Okay. So does someone have a Dalmatian? We have a Dalmatian dog. Do you have 101 Dalmatians? I don't think so. But yeah, someone might have a Dalmatian spotty cute dog. Wow. Just like I said, very celestial energy. Look at this. You can't hold these both up at the same time. But very celestial. We've got two plant we've got a planet and a moon quarter moon. Hmm. You guys. Okay, this is a planet, but it's got it's not actually a planet. Hold on. It looks like one, but it's not. It's actually it's got constellations in it.  There's something here to do with nighttime, the stars, the moon, constellations, something to do with space. Someone thinks you're stellar, Virgo. Someone thinks or you might call someone stellar, but someone thinks you are like your stellar man.  Wait, in that incubus. Yeah, maybe somebody likes that incubus song. Isn't what's that the name of the song? Meet me meet me in outer space. I will hold you close. Yeah, like I can't sing like Brandon Boyd, but you know what I mean. There's definitely some stellar energy. Maybe Virgo, Virgo Stelium could be for some of you. I'm gonna get another charm. These I love these charms and I'm really feeling the charms tonight. Okay, now this is like a baby rattle. But immediately, when I saw it, they said snail something to do with a snail. So I know that's not a snail, but as soon as I saw it, I heard the word snail. So it could be connected to you've been waiting to hear back from someone and they've been as slow as a snail.  You don't have to worry about that. All right. And then the last but not least, which I'm not really sure that what this is, but you've got like a anchor with some rope around it. Virgo's gonna like throw rope around this person and anchor them to the to the ground. So see something to do with the sea. There's something to do with the sea. You're connected to the sea in some way. It's either your favorite place. You love the sea or you actually live at the sea or you're from near the sea. Maybe you're on an island somewhere. I don't know, but there's a connection to the sea that is extremely significant to you, which is connected to this reading. But I'm going to leave that there because I think that even though it wasn't as long, it was very potent. So I hope that you got some insight from this message.

You know, women are more likely in general to back whatever is the hegemonic community norm. Freshman undergrads in 1970 were, the females were more conservative than the men. But since 2004 it started moving the other way and now it's just quite a big gap and women are a lot more to the left. And I think they're just reflecting the dominant messages that they're getting in institutional settings. If you follow that line of thinking, the purple-haired woke woman is the Bible basher of the 50s. Yeah, like an extreme version of the communal values. If you're in a Muslim society or a Christian society, the religious fundamentalist exemplifies communal values. Everyone's pious Muslim, they're a fundamentalist. It's tough to argue against them, but they're exemplifying the values of the system. And I'd say probably that's what these blue-haired people are doing. The first person experience is they are counter-cultural in some way. They think they're counter-cultural. They think they're counter-cultural.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Morning Markets Kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. I'm Tommy O'Brien from TFNN. Just after 9 a.m. Eastern time, we got about 24 minutes to go until the start of trading. We got positive markets. We got higher yields yet again. We got Jackson Hole coming at your Friday morning. Chairman Powell speaking. Friday morning at about 10 a.m. Eastern time. That's going to be the main event of the week. We've got NVIDIA earnings this week as well. Among some other companies, we kick things off with the market. S&P's dive down to a low. Friday morning at 43.50, we finished the session on Friday at a price point of about 43.88. You see the volatility overnight. We're above 44.00. Right now, we're just below 44.00 at 43.93. NASDAQ 100. We're at about 65 points. That's 4.10 percent of the positive. 14,808. You get the dial right now. We're up by 29.34,594. And the Russell is flat. We'll call it at 18.65. We jumped to crude. Catch is a bid up above $81.00. We're pulling back in the last few minutes. Crude at 81.08. We worked at 81.70. Excuse me. I'm not sure what's going on with the drop off at 9 o'clock if we've got some economic numbers there or not. But nonetheless, crude still up $44.44. Excuse me on the session. You got the go contracts. Catching a little bit of a bid as well. We're up by $8.00 at 19.25. We'll call it on the go contract. We jumped in notes and bonds, as I mentioned. Lower price. Higher yield. Coming at you. We get the 10-year yield. Think we're above 4.3. Are we above 4.3? We're above 4.3. 4.31 percent of the yield on the 10-year as we're climbing towards the high yield we had on Thursday, which is pretty much correlating to the high yield we got last October, man, sitting at about 4.31 percent of the yield on the 10-year. Yeah, yields will be in focus this week. Dramatically, with Chairman Powell speaking Friday morning, you have the 30-year. Negative 30 ticks right now, actually below where we were on Thursday's action, and you jump over to the dollar index this morning, TXY. Catching a little bit of a bid in the last few minutes, right? Since about 7.45 at 8 o'clock this morning from 103.15 to 103.32, we take a look at the dollar on a little bit larger-term picture, and yeah, we're in an uptrend channel, man, pushing the lower boundaries potentially of that uptrend channel, but basically right back to where this acceleration we've talked about before, right, about July 4th, we're trading at a price in the dollar of 103.50.  We get it all back, and now we're at that area again at about 103.33 in the dollar index. You jump over to the volatility index this morning. We got a new normal in this market, man. You get the VIX on higher price when we get the market in positive territory. Not usually how it goes, folks. We almost hit 19 on the market lows on the open on Friday. Market accelerates higher throughout the day. The VIX gets some of that back in terms of pulling back to almost 17, but this morning we have an elevated VIX with markets green across the board. So pay attention to that one as we come into the opening. All right. What are we going to talk about? Let's kick it off with yields, man. Bond bulls. Yeah, and you know what, before we do, let's take a look at just where we are this year. Okay. That's your 10-year on a short term basis. Let's just put it back a year, and you don't have to go that far. There's your beginning of the year right there. We had the 10-year at a price point of about $1.12.5. We're down to $1.09 right now. Okay, so if you're in yields, what have you had? You've had a capital depreciation. You've lost capital on that level in terms of getting into that price at $1.13, right, and we are now at $1.09, let alone if you were buying the 10-year at almost $1.17, you're at $1.09 right now. I mentioned those. Well, let's do the 30-year before we jump around as well, because, boy, you solved this conundrum, man. You've got everything going on in terms of figuring out what is going to happen with yields going forward and how they shape everything going on. You've got the 30-year, kicked off the year at about $1.24. We're down to $1.18. You were as high as $1.33 on the 30-year. You talk about duration, right? This is where everybody talks about buying duration, okay? You can see if you're in the 30-year. You buy duration at $1.18, and you get the turnaround you expect. Boy, you could be back at $1.33, okay? But, boy, that is a big if, folks. We'll see where we go. We might get some fireworks on Friday, all the conversation talking about what's the real rate going forward, right? What is our star? What is the real rate of growth in this economy going forward? Where is the Fed going to need to be? Do they try and recalibrate that to some degree on Friday? The market will not like it if they start talking about that they're going to accept inflation to the degree of 2.5% or even 3%. That's the conversation out there, and we find out on Friday. But this is the reason why people talk about buying duration, because you can see on the inverse of that, the problem here is that when you buy duration and you're wrong, yeah, you get squeezed on the other side as well, okay? And we're talking about you're at $1.18. Now, I made this conversation last week, though. It seems like we're, it's a great place to buy if you only look at this chart, going back to basically to hear this one, folks, okay? Because there are always two sides to a trade. This price point of $1.18, I mean, what did I just say? I just said we were just trading at $1.33 earlier this year. He said, well, geez, that seems great, man. I can buy a 30-year at $1.18. People were paying $1.33 for the same fixed income over 30 years less than six months ago. You look at this chart, you say, $1.18 is not bad. We were just up in the $1.90s. We were up in the $1.70s in 2016. We were up in the $1.60s in 2015. We were up in the $1.50s. Yet again, in 2012, we made it to a high of $1.40 almost in 2009, but here's what I will caution you. A lot of articles getting written about the fact that we were in exceptional times when you had yields at 0% folks, and that might not be the case for some time going forward. And guess what? Take a look at this chart. If that is not the case going forward, okay? If we are in a new normal, which basically means that 0% is not gonna be around for some time, okay? Then you're getting into the 30-year at $1.18. Meanwhile, anytime before 2008, that would have been lower price coming at you. So it's got room on both sides, man. We're at an interesting point in the yields right now with the 30-year down a full point as we're getting lower price and higher yield coming at you. They were talking about on Bloomberg this morning. Look at this thing dropping off as we talk, man. Who's out there listening to me selling these bonds right now? I kid, but the real yields even pushing. You're getting 2% on your money, man. The yields are at a level right now. Above inflation, you are getting real percentage points of real wage growth, real return. I should say the real return, real rate of return, which is the rate you're getting, minus inflation, okay? It's pushing almost 2% right now, which is some big numbers. But boy, look at this move, right? Just since 8.20 in the morning, we just dropped eight ticks. We're at 10907. So much for the reprieve we got on Friday. All of that is basically gone. We were up to 109.28. We're pushing the lows of Thursday's session yet again. And interesting that when you talk about Chairman Powell, okay, it's all gonna be on Chairman Powell. I would love as many would, I'm sure. To be inside his head for a moment, as you come into Monday morning and you got yields pushing highs, you got the 10 year above 4.3, you got the 30 year up more than a, excuse me, down more than a full point in terms of spiking to highs as well. And we are right back to Thursday's concession and all the conversation is, hey, are we really getting back to 2% man? Seems like that we might be adjusting to a new normal in this economy with higher yields adjusting to a higher rate of inflation going forward and a higher growth rate. We'll see where we go from there. You got the S&Ps up by 10 to kick things off. I mentioned we got NVIDIA earnings coming out later in the week. You jump over to NVIDIA, they're catching a bid this morning up by almost 10 or 11 points. Somebody was out, maybe somebody can help me out in the den. I think we had a forecast, somebody out, one of the competitors came out and pumped something and see if they got the news. I'll check it out during the break. Yeah, NVIDIA is gonna be out with their numbers. If you're looking for potential trading setups in the stock market, then Rocket Equities and Options Report is a newsletter you should try.

Welcome back, folks. We've got the markets drilling off a bit with the S&Ps up by just eight points right now. You've got the Russell rolling over to negative territory. I know my mic cut out right at the end of that segment. Had to replace a battery. We're back in action and we're talking yields, okay? And G-bolts talking yields in the den. Yeah, the CDs, man. And he says there are some six months to two-year CDs north of 5% and there are. If you're not familiar, folks, the numbers right now, okay? I'll give you to them. These are CDs that are non-collable. Now these are brokerage CDs, okay? So you can go out to various banks within your brokerage. You can buy these CDs. They're brokerage CDs a little bit different than going to the actual bank itself, but nonetheless, these are non-collable. FDIC, SIPC-insured CDs, okay? And the numbers you're dealing with right now, even a two-year, 5.05%. He's talking about north of 2% right now, okay? 5.05% on the two-year. If you're going anywhere shorter than that, you should be getting about five and a quarter, man, because the market's basically sure that we're staying around five and a quarter for some period of time. A three-month, five and a quarter. Six-month, 5.3, nine-month, 5.3, 12-month, 5.3. 18-month, 5.2, okay? And then the two-year goes down to 5.05. Now here's what's interesting. You want the CD rates, okay? These are CDs. These are not treasuries, but obviously they're correlated to a good degree. You go out to a three-year, you're getting 4.8. You go out to a four-year, you're getting about 4.65. You go out for a five-year, 4.55 is the number, and here's the coolest part about this, folks, okay? Is that you can ladder all of these, okay? And if you are in retirement and you're thinking about something like a CD and putting some cash in there, instead of going out duration, right? Where you buy yourself a boatload of long duration CDs thinking, okay, I'm gonna lock this in. Well, you see the risk there. I just went over it somewhat in the 30-year. Now that's a 30-year, okay? But let's just see how far back the 10-year goes out of curiosity. Yeah, see, the 10-year, it's huge. We don't get the data before 2003, okay? So you do have lower price action. We made it all the way down to 103 when you had some high yields in 2007. You made it all the way down to 103 when we had some high yields in 2006 before that new normal kind of kicked in of 0% interest rates, all right? But if you ladder a one, two, three, four, and five-year CD right now, you're getting 4.87%. And that is the APY over those five years. So basically, you can lock in a five-year ladder and you can be pushing about 5% right now for a CD. And then the cool part is, is that you get to roll over every year to the next rate. So if rates stay high, you're somewhat protected because what happens? Well, when that one-year CD rolls over, you take that cash, you put it back into a five-year. If rates are high, that five-year is gonna be helping you out. On the flip side of that, if inflation squashes, you're protected on both sides to a certain degree, right, laddering. Anyway, I thought it was interesting. Not a lot of people, I think, would realize right now that you can get a five-year ladder that pushes you to about 4.9%, 4.87%. That's what I got it up this morning for a broker in CD. Now, the last part of that conversation is, okay, that's a risk-created return over a period of five years. Well, we get the market right now trading at 43.92, okay? And what I'm gonna show you real quick, I'm gonna use 5%, okay? And I'm gonna show you that after the first year, okay, that would push you, if you invested in the S&P at 43.92, well, your risk-free rate of return one year out from right now would give you a price of about 46.11 in the S&Ps. So that's what you're getting, risk-free rate of return right now after you go into the CD market. You do it again for the second year, you're talking about 48.42. You do it again for the third year, you're talking about 5,084. You do it again for the fourth year, 5,338, and at the end of that five-year CD, you own an S&P that is equivalent, an equivalent S&P of 5,605.  And depending on where you are in the risk tolerance of your investing, of your retirement, you wanna make those decisions. My retirement folks, my 401k, I'm all in growth stocks practically, okay? This market's doing just fine in the long term. In the short term though, there is some extreme volatility that we are coming to, man. We got Jackson Hole on Friday. Nobody's quite sure where the new normal of interest rates is gonna be right now. There's a lot going on in terms of volatility in this market.  I'll give it back to you at 5,600 in five years. You wanna take that deal? A lot of retirees would probably take that deal. Well, that's the deal that's being given to you in the CD market right now. And if you're comfortable taking that deal, then take that deal in the CD market and don't risk anything in the equity market because we don't know what can happen. It's a real return, folks. And when you start compounding it over five years, you're talking about big numbers that brings you to the S&P at 5,605 right now. Risk-free, okay? Five years is a long time. As we all know, this market could be at 5,600 in six months from right now. I'm somewhat kid, but not really. I mean, we just jetted from a price point of, yeah, we just went up 1,000 points over basically the last year from the low to the high, okay? And that is talking about basically going 1,000 points from this year's high to the next high. So there's opportunity costs. We all get that, all right? But when you talk about these rates, they're gonna be in focus, man, and that's gonna be a competition for capital. It's especially interesting. The markets have held up so well when you think about the amount of cash that is choosing the risk-free rate of return right now, whether it's just sitting in money market funds, et cetera, that's gonna be a persistent influence in this market. All right, so let's jump to, where is it? Where's my article? There it is, bond bulls. Bond bulls at JP Morgan and Alliance keep piling into a bet gone bad. Treasury returns turn negative for 2023 as yields jump. So we went over, right? The prices of where these equities are, excuse me, where these notes and bonds are right now, the market, mark to market capitalization of those, you're losing money on an equity basis if you got into the beginning of the year and you wanted to sell. And what they're talking about, man, is that the CIO for JP Morgan, asset management, Bob Michelle, he was on the case in 2019 talking about, listen, last year, right? Is that what they're talking about? Yeah, correctly predicted the slide and yields all the way down to 0% from 2% in 2019. He's buying every dip. So you got buyers out there, man, and they are looking for a reversal from these lofty levels we're at right now, but they're down 1.5% over the past month and beating just 35% of the peers. If you're in this trade, you're getting pummeled, man. Bond bulls face mounting losses as yields march higher. There's your treasuries, man, losing money on a negative basis. And what is that? Basically inverse to where we are on the chart. And the reason I went over the kind of this long, deep dive into the yields, right? It is so important, folks, to remember this 30-year chart, okay? 10-year doesn't even go back that far. But remember the 30-year chart, everybody's talking about duration and at least be aware of the risks present, okay? Some of us are technical traders and boy, that does not look like a big buy just yet, okay? That looks like a stock that's on its way to $2 or something like that, right? Where you're just getting right across the board, you're challenging the lows last year. And what's so interesting is I think we've all come to the realization that there's a very real possibility that 0% interest rates are gone forever, at least for some time. And if that's the case, consider that the area above where we're at right now is the price action that took place when interest rates normalized around almost zero to negative on some markets across the globe. So then what you do is you say, okay, compare the price action where we're at right now to where we were prior to that. Well, that's what we're coming for, man, because we're at a level basically that's a high price for anything prior to 2008. All right, folks, we'll talk some equities. We're gonna take a look at the video when we get back. They got their numbers on Wednesday. Stay tuned, we're coming back for the open.

Everything in the green right now with the S&Ps up above 13 points at 43.96. NASDAQ 100 up by 77. You get the Dow up by 21 this morning. 34,582 in the Russell sneaks back into the positive territory right now with the Russell up by two points at 18.67. We jumped to commodities. Goal catch is a slight bid up six bucks to 19.23. We jump over to the crew contract, hanging above $81 at 81.27 and we jumped to notes and bonds. It's been the discussion of this program. It'll be the discussion of many programs folks, especially coming into Jackson Hole on Friday. I believe Chairman Powell speaks just after 10 o'clock. Is the action there? I believe for Friday morning, and you get a lot more than that going on, I think it's a three-day symposium, right? But it's all about Friday morning in terms of Jackson Hole out there. He'll be speaking. I think it's even 10.05 a.m. Eastern time is potentially that number that he'll be talking at. And what do we got? We got yields coming back to those lows. Pretty remarkable. All right, we're gonna talk a little bit of migration. Some cool stats in here. Now, this is from Bloomberg. This is out, yeah, I guess it's early this morning. I was reading it early this morning. New York and California, each lost $1 trillion. Each lost a trillion dollars when financial firms moved south. Okay, so check out some of these numbers they talk about here. We're all aware of it. Yeah, but as they put it here in Bloomberg for the first time, there are hard numbers quantifying the exact scope of the exodus. Both states have in the past three years lost firms that managed close to $1 trillion in assets. With them, you have people coming that work for those companies. 17,000 firms is what they went through. Okay, talking about the filings of these companies. The exodus from the Northeast and West Coast, not a lot of attention goes onto California as much as New York, okay? But they're on the trillion dollar number as well. And where are they moving? Texas and Florida. Now what was interesting here was going through this article, they talk a lot about the reasons why people move, right? Coming out of the Northeast, man, weather is a big factor, okay? Quality of life, sunshine, blue skies. Now, man, we got some heat in Florida in August, okay? If you can avoid Florida in August, head on out to Cape Cod, man. They had the beautiful Falmouth Road Race this past weekend. Watch that beautiful weather. It was in the 70s, folks. It was in the 70s. The course records on the Falmouth Road Race, you know what, I'll bring that up next race too because that's home close to me. Ran the Road Race in 2019. Can't believe that was four years ago. And I said it before, folks, if you're thinking about doing something, right? Don't wait till next year. You never know what's gonna happen. I had always, we spent summers in Cape Cod, Falmouth Mass, right by the Falmouth Heights. Good old Falmouth Heights, man. Those were some awesome years growing up. They always had the Falmouth Road Race. Wasn't sure I'd ever run it. Got my act together. Figured I had a chance to do in seven. Now, here's the other kicker here, folks. The Falmouth Road Race is not a 10K. I actually found out 10K is about 6.2 miles. So I'm getting ready for the Road Race. And I'm not, I just wanted to finish, folks. I wanted to finish. My goal was in 2019 finish and keep running for the entirety of it. Well, I found out like three days before it that it's not a 10K that's 6.2 miles. It's actually like close to the seven miles. Nonetheless, check out beautiful Falmouth Mass if you get the opportunity. And yeah, if you're coming to Florida and you can afford to be out of here for some of those summer months, get it done. But boy, we have an amazing quality of life outside of maybe July, August and September. And even then, plenty to do in the sunshine state. But nonetheless, 158 companies managing $993 billion in assets moved their headquarters out of New York. 104 firms shifted to Florida. 56 of them from New York, so almost didn't even split there.  They all make sense if you've been paying attention, right, where's everyone going? Well, California, you're going to Texas is a big one there as well. So California is a different deal. New Yorkers, the Northeast, a big factor there is quality of life in terms of weather. In California, they already got great weather. What they don't have is low taxes. And so that's where you're seeing some of the shift going on from California more so to Texas because it's not about that sunshine that they already have in California. It's about the finances of taxes that come with it. You check out the states, all right? Now what I found interesting as well is good old Massachusetts, they're gaining assets under management, okay?  Taxatruces is what they call it. But boy, let me tell you folks, as somebody with young kids now, the education system in Florida is abysmal. And I think I'm putting it lightly. I talked about it on the program before. We don't even have air conditioners working in Polk County out here, man. They got like 12, 15 schools that don't even have AC. You want to talk about education, okay? So there are benefits to taxes, but it's interesting because New York catches all the heat. And then what do you got, man? You got Massachusetts, gaining assets under management, all right, but yet New York, Connecticut, good old money, Connecticut losing a lot of money in there, Pennsylvania, DC, Maryland. You go into the Pacific Northwest, Washington, Oregon, California, and then where's that money going? Anywhere with these types of blues out here, you can see Nevada, Wyoming, Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Tennessee, North Carolina and Florida, some of the biggest benefiters out there and Massachusetts, which I found pretty interesting. Now you keep going. Weather and low taxes, draw firms south. Weather is what we talked about, basically coming from the North.  And the last part I want to get in here, good old Tampa, man. Investment firms flocked to Miami and Tampa. Look how many Tampa grabbed now, of course. You got quite a plethora. I think it's 104 or something like that in Miami. What are these add up to? 80, yeah, not even more than that, right? More than 100 firms kind of on that East Coast, down by Bokeh, West Palm, Miami, Palm Beach. But yeah, Tampa pulling in some decent money in there with 35 firms, Jacksonville with 12, Naples with 13. And that game has changed forever, folks, okay? Changed forever to pull it lightly. Now the last part about this is that this is just like the very tip of the iceberg, okay? Yeah, so check this out. The assets under management outflow since 2020 equals just a tiny fraction of the 25.6 trillion dollars managed in the state. This is talking about New York, okay? Which is still 10 times as much as Florida has. California has 15.7 trillion, okay? And most states, including California and New York's, on increasing the total amount of assets managed there because of the strong market performance. So New York's at 25.6 trillion. That's 10 times as much as Florida. So what's that put Florida at? Two and a half trillion or something like that? So New York's at 25 trillion, California's at 15.7. Florida's at 2.5 and still you have New York and California rising from 25.6 and 15.7. They're just losing some of the assets to those other states, but their net number, gross number, however you wanna call it, is still rising because the market's going up so much since 2020 as well. Yeah, so keep that in mind, we'll see where it goes, but it was interesting to see some of those numbers and really how at the tip of the iceberg we are if those numbers continue to change. And I imagine they will continue to change, which is what's so remarkable in terms of where we go from there and life has changed forever. All right, what do we got folks? NVIDIA earnings coming up on Wednesday. Let's check out NVIDIA shares. Now we got Palo Alto with their numbers on Friday. They're charging higher up by 16%. NVIDIA getting a couple upgrades this morning. They're up by 3.7%. You jump over to the Analyze tab. You want some action, 30, excuse me, $47 move. Priced into NVIDIA earnings coming out on Wednesday. That's more than a 10% move, but guess what? It's not that much. You think about that this stock is up almost $47. It's up $35 from where we were just Friday morning. All right, folks, stay tuned. We're gonna come back. We'll talk some NVIDIA earnings and we're also gonna talk some Hazel Chapman webinar coming up on Wednesday as well. Stay tuned. Don't go away, folks.

We get the S&Ps back about 4,400. Up by about 20 points at 4402, Nasdaq 100 catches a bid as well, we're up by almost 9-tenths percent. The Dow right now basically flat and the Russell negative growth stocks catching a bid. And yeah, let's jump around to some of those fang stocks, Amazon shares. Up by about, we'll call them, are they main nifts and seven, are they fang? Everything changing. Apple, up by a third of a percent this morning. Microsoft shares, up by eight-tenths percent. Amazon, up by about eight-tenths percent. We jump over to Google, up by two-tenths percent. Tesla shares catches a bid up by 4.4 percent. There you go, you jump over to Nvidia. They're up 4.5 percent to head of their numbers on Monday. So some big numbers out there. HSBC, they put out an adjustment to their price target to $780 from 600. So they were at 600. They go to 780 ahead of their earnings this week. 780, the stock was just at 420 on Friday. Absolutely remarkable. Keybank adjust their target to 620 from 550. HSBC's got a buy rating. Keybank's got an overweight. They should, if they got 780 and 620 on there. Nonetheless, they've come out on Wednesday. That'll be an interesting one, man, to say the least. Nvidia earnings, and as I mentioned, almost a 10 percent move priced in doesn't seem like a lot when you look at some of those price targets and you look at the move this has had and you look at the move this has had even just in the last 24 hours of trading since Friday as it's up from almost 415 to pushing 453 this morning. All right, I mentioned to folks on Wednesday, we got a man, Basil Chapman. He's got a special webinar coming up, folks. Just over 48 hours from right now, he's gonna be doing this webinar. It's free for opening call subscribers. So if you're already a subscriber, you're all set for till 5.30 p.m. Eastern time. It's gonna be a 90 minute webinar.

I said, thank you for trying it out. That's all we ask. Give it a try. Basil will be in there Wednesday for 90 minutes talking about the nine, the 14 moving average, other indicators, unbalanced volume, exponential moving averages, and looking at the sectors and stocks that are coming up for the next few months. Because it's gonna be an interesting one, folks, to say the least. I was in there in my group chat this morning, and we're talking about housing prices, right? Why not? Lenard, they're dropping by 2% interesting. As we see kind of these stocks that have just flourished actually catching a little bit of a sell-off for the first time as you got Lenard. Just about a month ago, we're at 133, you're at 115, right? That's Darden. I always confused the two. DHI, DH Horton. We were pushing 132, we're at 115 right now. And yeah, we go back to Darden. They pulled back as well, 173 to 150 I. And you know, I was jumping around real quick, one second as I, all right. I'll jump around afterwards. I was gonna pull something up. I can't find it too quickly. Dow rolls over negative. Actually, as we open here, we got the Dow selling off a bit 34,550 at a time when you got growth stocks charging higher. Probably led by NVIDIA. As you're up by more than 4%, man, you had just got above the highs of last week, and we put this thing on a daily. You're trading at 450 just off of the all-time highs at 480, just over a month ago. All right, what else have we got going on? Boy, keep this one on your radar because it's coming right now. And say some prayers, send some white lights over to the people of California, Arizona, Las Vegas. They're getting some rain that they are not used to, man. And what do you got? You got an earthquake out there in California as well. You got a little bit of a typhoon action going on in terms of tornadoes and so forth. But yeah, say some prayers, keep it out there. Palm Springs, California. There's some visuals. And they are not used to these types of hurricanes. So a little bit of a different story when you get that type. I saw some visuals out there in Las Vegas talking about getting ready for the deluge of mountain rain that's coming. So there are gonna be some visuals as usually hopefully everyone stays safe. And get ready for hurricane season if you're in Florida too, folks. Have a plan. Make sure you got plenty of water. Go out and buy some water if you can. Go out and store five, six cases of water. There's no reason why you don't have three to five days of water in your house, period. I know this is normal stuff, but it's always amazing. And I think we really learned a lesson during COVID. Everything's always, oh, it's right here. It's right at our fingertips. You've seen the lines in publics, folks, when storms hit, right? You can't find anything.  Go buy a generator right now. I'll tell ya, I was even looking at them, okay? Again, I'll put this one out. Let's say you don't think you wanna afford a generator, okay? Well, I'll put this one out there that you can always return things you buy within 30 days from Home Depot and Lowe's, okay? So if you're really worried, especially, I got young kids in the house. Everything changes when you got young kids in the house, man. You can't tell a one-year-old or a two-year-old. Everything will be fine. Don't worry, I can't warm up your bottle because the microwave's out. Don't worry, the air condition doesn't work, but it'll kick back on. Just struggle through the heat, okay? You can't tell them, so things change. You can always go buy them and return them if you don't use them. And that would get you all the way through to almost the end of September, because they're lofty, man. You're talking about what? 700, 800 bucks to 1400 bucks for a generator. And you're talking about, you probably need some window AC units if you really wanna be protected there, to some degree, at least one, right? So you have one room in the house. A lot of those portable generators, they can't power a whole house. And here's the kicker. I'm just talking about protecting yourself right now. If you are going out and getting a new build house, if you're putting a new build house, if you're getting a new house, get yourself a full, easy switch generator because living in this state, man, my dad, all the houses he builds, he puts a Generac generator on there.  That's where the future's going, okay? So if you have that possibility, do it. It's a no-brainer. Put it into your mortgage if you can, even at 7%. But if you can't, make sure you're protected, man. Make sure you have a generator. Make sure, okay, that you are protected because the storm water's out there. They're pretty lofty this season when you talk about the temperatures. And we are right at the beginning of storm season. Take a look at generators this weekend. All right, folks, one more segment today, June. We got the S&Ps up by 15. Don't forget about our man Basil Chapman. We'll be right back for one more segment. Check it out. TFNN has just launched their new trading room, the Tiger's Den, hosted at Discord.

We have markets still in positive territory, but given back some of that pop we got on the open, we got the S&Ps back under 4,400 at 4,397. Dow rolls over negative off 50 points right now. The Russell, off by five, we take a look at yields that we spent some of this program taking a look at. Chopping around right near the lows of Thursday, 109.06 as we got the 10-year yield right now, pushing a price level, excuse me, 10-year yield with a yield of 4.32%, 4.32%, man, you gotta love that. All right, what else we got going on? Meta, they're gonna be talking about their threads is going on the desktop, I was looking for. Web version is what they call it, I guess. So threads launched on mobile and they got 100 million plus. Now they're launching on the web, they're coming for Twitter, they're coming for X, whatever you wanna call it. Elon better move quickly to make that the app of everything as threads is coming for that business and they're up about 8-10% with a positive market today. You jump over to the VIX, 1757, chopping around basically where we ended Friday's action with a market up by 16 though. Remember, markets up by 16, Nasdaq up by 137, you do have some weakness in the Dow, some weakness in the Russell, but meanwhile we have a slightly elevated VIX. Not always the case, you got the S&Ps approaching 4-10% in the positive right now and meanwhile we have the VIX slightly elevated. All right, and as I mentioned, folks, yeah, keep California in your mind out there, folks. Send some good white light out there because boy, they are not ready for some of that rain. As I just mentioned, I follow some social media accounts geared towards Vegas, talking about Vegas happenings and boy, I saw some visuals last night talking about where they drive this mountain rain through and the desert is not equipped for some of those lofty deluges of rain. So we'll see where it goes, but nonetheless, as I mentioned, make sure you're safe out there as well and don't forget about our man, Basil Chapman, folks.
