Welcome everybody to the learning loop podcast, your best source for educational insights and trends. I'm Chris, your host. Today's special guest is Hannah. Hannah is a third grade teacher and is our literacy expert for our show today. Hannah is a long time CSI user and a true pro in using CSI to get the most out of her students. We are so thrilled and excited to have her here. Hannah, welcome to the show. Hey, thank you for having me. We are so excited. We'll jump in with kind of a basic question here. Could you start by just giving everyone an overview of how you incorporate CSI into literacy instruction in your classroom? Yeah, I have been using CSI for quite a while now. I kind of have lost track. It feels like something that's just always been a part of my classroom and we use it all the time. So when it comes, I mean we do use it in a lot of ways, but when it comes to literacy, I probably use it most in one of two ways. So I love that kids can read to me on CSI and then I can listen to their reading later. So it's, as a teacher, like your day is super busy and you can't always sit and listen to kids one on one all day. But if they read to you on CSI, then you've got, you know, whatever time you need later on to sit and listen to them. And you can provide feedback and share it with families and that just makes it really, really nice. So that's probably my favorite way to use it, even though it's sort of simple. But I also love using it for like practice opportunities. So because there's so many tools now in the, in like when students are in CSI, there's so many different ways to practice things and keep it exciting and engaging and fresh for them. So. Amazing. Super. It's, you're finding like the perfect balance of having this as your partner where students can practice and become experts at it themselves and then share that and showcase that and have it be something that you as a teacher can use when you need to and when it will help you in your classroom. Yeah, definitely. What specific literacy skills have you found to be best paired with CSI? I know you talked through recording things. I know you talked through being able to practice, but as you found anything that really has been like, this is just the perfect pairing. When we're learning about literacy, these specific skills work best with CSI. I do have a lot of fun with like different phonics based skills on CSI because you can use like the drag and drop features to sort by phonics skill. Students can use the highlighting tool to highlight different phonics patterns in a text. You can have students practice reading and sorting in all sorts of ways with what you're doing. So it does lend itself really nicely to studying different phonics patterns. So I do love it for that for sure. I also think that CSI can be fantastic for different fluency related activities. So especially tying into having students read to you on CSI, you can do repeated readings, you can have students listen to themselves and then try reading it again. You can focus on things like prosody and sounding like a reader when you read. So it's just a nice tool to have students to be like they can actually record themselves and see what they're doing. Yeah, I love that. I love how you're getting to the point too of almost passing that baton to students of like, I want you to use this as a tool to help yourself improve and help that self-improvement come from within versus you as a teacher having to always come in and reflect on it. Yeah and parents love hearing that stuff too. So I know in my classroom when kids have read something on CSI and I usually will comment on it and approve it then I also get comments from parents and so they get to sort of hear what we're working on and they get to hear their child and I think that's exciting for a lot of families to have that connection into the classroom. Absolutely and even beyond reading just the opportunity to be a part of that learning experience is something that you know most parents don't have the opportunity to do. So the fact that CSI can help build that bridge for parents that just helps everybody, students, teachers, families, the whole community just to circle around learning. We'll jump to the next question and this has to do with differentiation. So thinking in ways that you are either designing content or using CSI to support learning, how have you found CSI to really be a helpful partner for you to just make sure that your literacy instruction is more accessible for all of your learners in your classroom? Yeah I mean CSI definitely makes that really, really easy because like when you go into a sign in activity to students you can select groups of students and send them different things. So I think I have a couple groups in my room that are sort of intervention reading groups and we're really working hard on different phonics skills along our scope and sequence and so they need different types of practice or different decodable texts to read and I can send everybody a similar activity but they're getting it at different levels based on what they need and so everybody's doing the same thing but not really because it's differentiated and that's CSI just makes it really easy to do that because it's not quite as easy to like pass out different paper to every student in your class but when you've assigned it on CSI the students half the time don't even know what's going on so. Absolutely for sure and the ability now to schedule activities probably only helps that even more to be able to make sure that you're distributing things on time and to the different groups as they go. Yeah I do like that because you can have it all ready to go at whatever time you need it to go out. Awesome can you share with the audience or anybody listening here can you share an example of a creative literacy activity that you either put together or maybe your favorite one that you used that really just made the CSI tools shine and your literacy instruction really just came together perfectly. Yeah well I'll a lot of what I make is very like quickly thrown together and it's just you know something that I need in the moment so instead I'll pass that off to some of the awesome resources that already exist in the CSI library. I know I've used the phenomenal phonics resources quite a bit and they're organized by phonics pattern so you can go in and find exactly the phonics skill that you're looking for and it has a section where you can do the present to class and use it for direct instruction and then you can push out the different practice activities and I just think that's like just the kind of resource that everybody should know that that already exists and you don't have to reinvent the wheel and I know there are other similar like collections for phonemic awareness and learning letter names and letter sounds that already exist within the CSI library. I don't know if I could create something quite as like beautiful and exciting but I do love those. Which is just fine that's okay as long as you're finding power in the combination I think that's really the important part is you know whether you create them or not you're recognizing that CSI is there to help you out and really to boost your students literacy instruction. We're going to jump to just a tiny little bit down here and just thinking about how to blend together digital resources like CSI and literacy instruction and you know when you think of things like curriculum pressures you think of things that might be coming through districts but also the ability that that you've seen and the power you see within digital instruction how do you really find that balance in your classroom of reading reaching all those curricular demands but also ensuring that you're providing students with 21st century learning. I understand that definitely as being a challenge because most districts have an approved curriculum that's been kind of given to you and you're expected to teach it with fidelity and so it might not naturally lend itself to to doing anything digitally but I think I know I've already mentioned different practice opportunities they're very easy to provide in CSI but you also kids can take pictures of the things they're doing they can if you have a student who is maybe struggling with writing sometimes they can take a picture and record themselves explaining something and I think that also provides like students the opportunity to practice using technology tools that they might not otherwise have access to so I think as teachers we can be creative in ways to like use the technology tools in CSA to help students access the hard copies of curriculum that they might find themselves using even if we're not creating elaborate activities for students to to complete there's a lot of really helpful tools within CSA that just help with differentiation with you know helping students access assignments if they struggle with reading or writing then those kind of things yeah absolutely I think that's one thing that you really spoke to that I think a lot of teachers are working to understand is that to use CSI you don't have to make activities or even use activities you could just press that green add button take a picture take a quick drawing record your voice add to your journal through that way too and you can still have an extremely powerful robust portfolio built for all these students as you go yeah absolutely and the kids sorry the kids love doing that stuff too because they they love taking pictures and and doing like a voiceover or taking a video of themselves because they feel like little youtubers in action so they sure do oh that's amazing I love that you you've reached that point in your you know your educational career and your your your sage-ness will say it that way your teaching expertise that you recognize really how to use tools in the proper way that's going to make sure that you're reaching those curricular demands and you're ensuring that your students are having everything that they need to be able to showcase what they know thank you yeah we'll jump to one portfolio question here and then we have just two more quick questions after that thinking of seesaw as a digital portfolio do you have any examples of moments where you really saw student growth like literally come to life right in front of you using the seesaw digital portfolio yeah I mean again my examples I always feel like they're really simple but when you look at because I do have students read quite a bit on seesaw and you can just watch their reading just progress and grow over the course of the year and to listen to what they were reading at the beginning of the year versus the middle versus the end and it's just so tangible for them to see that progress and for me to see it and for families to see it I just think that's related to literacy for sure that's just such a powerful like awareness for students to have that I worked hard and I got better absolutely and you can see it you can feel it throughout the entire year right here in seesaw we're gonna jump to the loopy question and this is just a question that we ask that just kind of a silly question we ask all of our guests here what is your favorite way to unwind from a really busy crazy school day oh um usually it is reading or just watching mindless tv one or the other just something that that I get to do alone right absolutely recharge your batteries move into the next phase of your evening all ready to go that's those are good advice and those are things too that that you know I like to always have my own personal time sometimes after school and so I think that's that's important to hang on to so hopefully you're getting that after every busy day hopefully everybody around you just making sure you have that space we're on to our final question and as we close up our episode we always try to make sure that we provide any advice for anybody who's listening maybe there's somebody who's brand new to seesaw maybe there's somebody who is brand new to literacy and wants to really help boost their skills so if we have someone like that listening Hannah what advice would you give them to really either improve their literacy skills or their seesaw skills or both of those things together to get to a point that you are here today yeah um I know I've told other teachers this before too but you um can only do so much at once so pick one thing at a time to try to implement in your classroom and I think that works for literacy um I know learning about the science of reading can be really a daunting task as people learn more and more and and want to revamp everything they're doing um or if it's you know learning how to use seesaw and realizing just all the resources that are available for you you can't do it all at once so pick one thing and get really good at that and then pick something else and get really good at that and and take it one bite at a time sure it's it's the old saying go slow to go fast that's very very powerful advice we are at time Hannah I just want to say thank you for being here thank you for sharing your expertise thank you for being just a seesaw leader and a literacy leader out there we are so thankful that you are here that you took time away from your busy day to just share your expertise with us yeah well thank you so much for having me of course thank you bye bye


The following is a presentation of TFNN the Tiger Technician Hour with your host Basil Chapman call now toll-free at 1-877-927-6648. Hi everyone Basil Chapman this is the Tiger Technicians Hour and we're looking over never let me just mention I always we're always looking ahead here because there's programming but that nine to ten hour with Tommy O'Brien Jr. that's really something worth listening to a lot of fundamentals put together with technicals many of us you don't talk very much about the fundamentals and he does and it's really nice to hear because when you put your smorgasbord of all ideas and technical stuff together it's really good to have the theme of the trend so I recommend you try to get yourself together to be able to listen to the nine o'clock and all the way through to four o'clock this afternoon we've got programming so let's just get this underway look you can see what happened here there's a trap wave inside track repellent zone I always draw this in and I talk about it it sounds like such a simple technique I don't know why people don't I don't see very much of it but look you take your upper bars you can include the wicks mostly I try to do the wicks but if you have to use the bars themselves that's fine you draw a trend line to the most hit number of preferably two or more points of contact and then you draw a little mini a tiny mini channel I call the trap wave inside track in this case the repellent zone because every time prices get close it gets pulled back and if it's at the bottom it reappropellant zone or I call it as a potential cell zone because if it breaks above that becomes a propellant and that'll then be turned into a by zone so it's very important and what's happened three times just in the last couple of weeks we've gone right to the pink line and then reverse sharply that's the first inside track channel support in this case support resistance going to the top the green one a break above the greens very positive close above the green I should say so we're making this real simple thousand thirty four thousand four sixty seven a down 28 if it's able later today to rally try to get to today's highest 34,611 that's a lot of points but if it's able to get into the I'd even say 30 34,505 area about 50 points from here on the upside that I think would be a good sign but it's got to keep propelling to the upside if it pulls back it means that there's whippiness stuck in this channel or let me call it a rectangle formation gosh I don't want to make it too messy here but I'll do this I'm going to show you that within this context I'm even going to make it small there's a rectangle and that rectangle is saying that if there was a close into the 35,090 or higher area then all of a sudden you're looking at the upside upside action perhaps continue a little longer but basically right now we just stuck in this channel the resistance and the support it's look at this when you think of a channel how long can a channel last a channel is certainly a sideways rectangle formation can last a lot longer than your patients look at the 23 to 234.53 all-time high mr. all-time high recent high of March of 2021 in the IWM the Russell 2000 and look at the support in the 210 to 8 area and we've just been stuck there this is March the 19th week in the 19th so you've got April so you got March to April so April May June July August September this is the seventh month of a trading range within the IWM could use it for short term trades and have fabulous percentage gains but basically if you're looking at the monthly chart 95 back in March of 2020 to the 234.35 high and then it's gone sideways this is just nothing it's just like an eye blink in the monthly but in the weekly chart that's that's looks quite wide in the daily chart it's huge look at these big trades you could have so keep in mind it's your time frame how you consider your time frame how you use your time frame let's get back to our work here SPX at this particular point is down 5 almost 6 and 43 55 let me just show you something I'll just use the E- many the continuous contract for now look how big the moves are this is entry day overnight that is sorry and overnight it went from a low of three 40 4317 and yesterday at the high it was in the 4400s I mean that's that's big percentages on an intraday basis and yet when you think of it think of a lowercase H that goes to another H we're in the in the format right now I'm going to draw it in and to be able to change this from making lower lows and lower highs you're gonna have to see the SMB have a spectacular rally one that has a close not just an intraday hit but a close above the 4422 level and that'll say aha finally there's enough strength to try to tackle the 4460s but until that happens we just stuck in a range and the weekly chart is really suggesting that this is a PG not a G Stasi but a PG and it's in a cell mode I've got it as a cell signal I haven't actually notated it yet even though it's Tuesday today I really have to wait until Friday that didn't really have to wait for Friday look this is one two three three weeks up until yesterday three weeks that it went under and closed twice now underneath the 14 period moving average technically I think I have to do I'm doing it now because I've done my homework and all I can say is that I've got at least for now a cell signal not a cell mode but a cell signal at a PG in the weekly chart of the S&P and that suggests time and price and we'll see what happens off to this mag these weeks the castings at 55% terrible on balance volumes a little weaker than it was but it's still pretty good now I've been moving averages got all week it hasn't yet closed underneath the 14 period moving average in the weekly chart but we've got a cell mode already in play for ages now in the daily chart and it's a leg be probably a peak be this month in the e in the e-mini and that's S&P let's get back to our story we want to look at the QQQ and there it is the QQQ is trading down 53 cents at 357.90 now this is a great peak a meaning just like the last one it could fail and I don't have any of the technicals to suggest it's even close to a buy signal let alone a buy mode so this is all same act these weeks the casting is 41% week in the daily the 9 period moving average is way on its pink way underneath the 14 it hasn't even attempted to get to the 50 period moving average at about 365 this is this is not I've said that the ndx 100 is in a longer term more an inter short to intermediate term consolidation within the longer term major move to the upside so that's how we're looking at it and the and in this case I have to call the weekly chart in a cell mode cell signal probably in a cell mode this Friday but everything about it says it's acting very weak and you can see because look at the SMH's the SMH's are trying to rally earlier on now they're down 33 cents at 252.90 the semiconductor index has led markets up and markets down for decades let alone years so this is very important it's saying this is a serious consolidation and the trip shorted I know for a fact that in the in the automobile industry some of those cars aren't going to come on the 20 21 cars are not even there 20 cars they've sold 20 21 20

channel for a long time between you actually you could say 234 between 230 and probably about 210 to 212 and it's just stuck there it's just digesting huge gains so that's the IWM Russell 2000 small caps 220 right now up 49 cents now this is gonna be very interesting look gold is trying its very best to to break into the 1790-1800 area it's traded a number of times hits the 50 period moving areas and then it pulls back I don't use 50 very much and then just say that occasionally it'll be hit and it becomes important in this case it was important to pull back but basically what I'm looking at is gold is holding the the I believe the way you have to look at it is that gold is holding very well within the context of the dollar's strength and usually they move in opposite directions not misses the same proportionality but opposite directions and now the dollar has gone to a leg F I'm calling it an F now I could call an alternate account but there's no need just call it an F it's getting a little bit a little bit a toppy acting very well but just on a short-term daily basis a little bit toppy now because the 9 is so sharply above the 14 the price is so sharply above the 9 and 14 period moving averages and we're looking at the MACD good stochastic it's just okay it's good at 80% but not as good as you'd expect going to new recovery highs actually is almost a yearly high so in that content on balance volume of course we don't get here because it's the index itself but you do get it on the UUP UUP trading right here UUP is the the vehicle that we use I'm going to call this for now I'll call it an E don't I could make it a change but I don't see any reason why I need to make anything different it did get now I have I every so this is a little technique that I'm going to show subscribers and the general public at the same time every once in a while I get a peak D and I put it down arrow because the price pulls back pretty sharply it went under the 14 period in the weekly chart and then on reflection because the 9 was still so strongly above the 14 period moving average I have to get rid of that and then I have to put it only a plus sign I always put a plus above a D because I had a peak D the fourth highest peak other things can happen as you saw right here when it went from the 25 area right down to the 20 low 24s and then saw this big rally back there should have been up arrow and where that disappeared to so now what happens is I put in the next count and you can see here it went to 25 35 25 35 a double top exactly the same price I don't have to make this a phantom peak or anything but here I'm going to go to an E and what happens in the case like this often enough to say hey keep this in mind is that when it looked like the peak D down arrow gets changed to a plug back to a plus sign because the magnetic never went even close to crossing negative stochastic pullback but held very nicely on balance volume was good and that 9 period was just so superbly above the 14 period moving average the very next leg up gets a continuation letter but that's where I become a lot more cautious because that little neck to the downside in the in the magnetic that's where you often start to see deterioration in the shorter term daily chart that impacts the weekly chart and I've often seen that E becomes a serious E and it pulls back pretty sharply I don't know if that happens because the magnetic and stochastic and on balance volume in the day and the weekly chart are absolutely superb they are so strong the weekly chart monthly chart has gone to a leg B it's improving dramatically magnies turned up so the dollar is still an issue and if I talk about that after go to E you are USD which is the euro dollar currency pair and the euro is pulling back is made the dreaded H second dreaded H pattern what is the dreaded H pattern I'm going to be teaching all these techniques is discussing I've got a whole list of stocks that we're going to be looking at stocks that we will get we're going to try to enter long at some point over the next six to eight weeks or more because of what we're looking at for late 2021 into 2022 and those are the selections that we're going to be filtering out and see how we can get I've already started placing bids that we've got for some we are we've entered some that look like they're doing well one is actually up almost a percentage today the other one is up point 30 so we have stocks that we've just started buying they're actually working out quite nice and one's working out very well other ones holding very has a fabulous move and that's just digesting it and we brand a brand new one today we just got in and we'll see how that does so um that's what i'm going to do my webinar coming up a week from today but if you look at this this is the dreaded H and as i said before that pattern is one that looks like this come down sharply make an arch formation fail at a peak a or a b and you take out that left side look look it took the euro went to the 200 period moving average peak a failed in the doji hide about 1.19 and then it goes arch formation failure arch formation failure arch formation failure arch formation failure and now there's another arch formation when you get to four consecutive three consecutive ones the the fourth one is usually a much bigger one in this case it's just a complete failure there's no strength at all and you're getting to the chat wave inside track support level in the weekly chart this is going to be a very important period because if if the euro can't hold if the euro can't hold 1.15 as support encloses under that wow that's going to help the dollar and if you look at the usd jpy which is of course of course i shouldn't say of course some people don't know is the u.s. dollar Japanese yen look at the counterpoint look at the spectacular move that it's had even greater than the dollar usually the dollar and the yen go in the same direction not the same percentage or anything like that just the same direction in this case the yen is actually leading look at the week a monthly chart leg c huge leg c filled in the break that i called that rectangle formation actually took it a little while ago because it was filling it in so nicely but look at this that rectangle formation this month we might be closing well above 112 which is your key support in the monthly we'll see monthly's young it's only leg c in the daily chart all right i got a whole bunch of questions i'm trying to deal with them so someone asked me about the currencies i've just done the currencies i've said the dollar is holding really well we've been along the dollar since 2018 still on the dollar so it's it's at a pretty whoopie move we along from 90 went all the way to 100 and just just on 103 and then pull back very sharply still long we'll see if that's going to continue like that but if the song says dollar is showing strength that's important i want to go to just back to gold for a moment you see this gold position right here you see that cluster formation now what it has got the potential of is that there is a chapel way oops stork leg formation it goes leg body neck beak and once the beak is complete that can turn into a very big positive because there's usually a a trend reversal that's very strong that's exactly what we've got here so if this particular week if there is if the gold at any point it's at at 1769 1770 if gold at any point intraday is able to hold above 17.1771 on the continuous contract there's a real good chance it's going to work it's a way to work with the high of a few days ago into the 1780 level let's just watch that i'll be back in a moment now are you having fun trading the markets but

talk about a rectangle formation look at this the e-mini one-minute chart uh it's had just from 9 30 this morning it's gone the 43 65 level down to the 43 40 of 43 39 pops right back to the 43 59 bounces fails comes back to 43 40 and now it's straight right in the middle so this is just this is a demonstration right here the rectangle formation can last a lot longer than your patience let's get back to our story here and what we're looking at is gold is now at 1768 and as i said if it can go for an hour and a half so it's just touched it but i would like to see it in the 1771 or higher area for about uh 60 i'd prefer to say 90 minutes and within that 90 minutes can slip under but 90 minutes and and that end of the 90 minutes it must be higher than say 17 71 i would say there's a good chance that it's going to attempt to try to get to the high that was made in the 1780 area a couple of days ago and if it suddenly fails and you're looking at 1759 it just says uh oh rectangle formation stuck in the sideways move look at silver silver's trying to show a little bit of strength and it's on the 9 and 14 period moving averages down just 0.02 at 22.64 what's really important about this it has also gone to a peak v but i don't yet have any buy signal in the eyeball if it can go higher but in this particular point it's just it's it's just trading in the sideways uh consolidation phase and you can see the same thing in the weekly chart look at hydrate copper hydrate copper is just really suggesting somewhere somehow internationally there is activity and there's business activity that's really improving because if you put it together with wood the ice is timber and forestry etf nice come back after four days of a low but below the 200 period moving average at 86.18 up 34 cents this is just a not a great sign this is the better sign to say sideways move using the 200 period moving averages supporting the daily and the weekly chart is trying to make a second cup formation we'll see at 86 we need to see 87.50 probably about Thursday or Friday to say this is good if it just falls back into the 85 area it says oh nothing to see here i think i've done everything i just need to come back to the tlt so the tlt is up $1.49 at 143.01 if you look at the tnx.x this is the tenure making a lower high than yesterday i suspect maybe there's one more little pop to the upside but what's really important and then it can pull back a little bit as bonds try to rally again most importantly if you're looking at the weekly chart a weekly close like this above the chaplain wave inside track repellent zone now it's a propellent zone not only that you've got your chaplain wave falling x let's finish that up falling x one to one to the upside i don't want to get carried away i you know that i use these indicators and i can trade on them i can do a whole bunch of things but most importantly i try to use them initially especially when i'm doing it publicly like this as conservatively as possible because i see people sometimes pick up a technique and they start using it and put a lot of money to work with in fact they only know a partial a part of the technique itself so i don't want to take that responsibility i'm just saying these are techniques that i like to use they work often enough that i can talk about them in a very positive way but now i'm going to do this and i'm going to say if there is a one-to-one breakout which is the technique of the chaplain wave falling x formation one of the things i'll talk about in my webinar coming up a week from tuesday for subscribers at four o'clock till five thirty and it is archived so you can if you can't make it you can just come in anytime and listen to it over and over and over look this says we've almost got there to the one-to-one the conservative one-to-one if in fact the yield the 10-year yield starts to push into the 16.63 1.663 area percent then i'm immediately going to say okay i can go to the next thing i usually just grab a moving average and i use that as support and that'll take you to the 17s one 17.10 say 1.71 but i don't like to do that until i've got confirmation so this is just the start to say this is a breakout this is the one-to-one pattern it's already gone extended straight away it hasn't gone sideways to be able to get the same diagonal degree of movement or the number of bars so i'm just saying i'm putting this in in fact i'm going to make it as transparent as possible 80 percent just to say it's there and it's saying that if yields start to move we're going to be watching very closely watch the xlf because that's the financials yes they use brokerage and all other things because it's s and p select financial spider fund because it has everything in the financial area even berkshire hathaway so um the yields are important to many stocks i'm going to get to some of the questions right now will i look at them yes so this is a deep pullback i could this be an alternate count d right there back in late august 30 september and it pulls back very sharp 36 and it's still holding above the low that was made in the 34s from way back in july from the start of the buy mode so this could be a brand new buy mode it is this should go to somehow other it should go to leg d doesn't have to but it should somehow try and that says that the yields are still going to be stuck in a range a little longer before they actually start a much bigger move in the opposite direction in other words going down rather than going up and that just says that the xlf 30 uh 30 39.40 39.41 would be your upside site target to get to a leg d doesn't give you time but it should happen within a week and it should get to a leg d and the at the weekly chart is peak a peak b and this is i'm calling it a c rather than g slash c for now so this is all that you see how dependent so many of the areas in the market are one depends on the other always influenced by the other and this is the whole thing with the yields so what i am saying is that looking at longer term i think longer term the yields uh that bonds are going to go higher uh sorry bonds are going to go lower yields are going to go higher but in the short term period we have to see whether tlt is able by friday or monday of next week to trade in the 144 60 or higher area or go underneath 139 and that's going to be really key to what we look at you know in in november for trading parameters in the market itself so i think we've covered a chunk of those things that did that did that a question of what a statement in the den something and uh lithium i think i saw something there to do with lithium let's just go to lit lithium is lit is the um there is global x lithium battery technology uh this is an etf and it's trading down 32 cents at 80.44 i'm watching this closely this is going to be part of my i discussed my webinar coming up a week from today i think this is a really important area 87.20 was the high of 13th of august doji peak f 87.10 was the high of so just we've seen these double tops it's amazing how they either just make fractionally go under or fractionally go above and then we get a decline that's exactly what happened was peak d in the daily chart in the 87 area and look at this it comes all the way down to the 78 79 area trading at 80.45 i think this is a consolidation phase might have to have a little bit more of a depth this is the lithium l it's a simple 80.41 down 38 cents bazaar chapter is unchanged there's a piece down for you

uh untrained trying to rally i think there's going to be a bit of a rally i think that just says within that context just up and down and up and down and that's the way you have to think of trading fxi is the i shares this is the large cap china etf uh down a little bit down a penny at 39 i think it's trying to rally here i suspect that it 41 41 30 is going to be the big resistance to break on the upside and certainly it also has to hold the 38 20 support no i didn't mean that i mean 39 20 to 38 70 support we'll see what happens there okay a couple of questions have come in let me get to that so um uh could i show facebook yes yes facebook making a new low today down seven at 318 25 this is what i mean peak this is a peak d at 384.33 on the third of september 384 down to 318 i would say that the 70 point this is 20 percent a decline weekly chart peak e monthly chart is probably going to be a peak e i think that this is telling us a story amazon same thing amazon is trading down both now it's up 90 cents 30 to 47 it's in the lower range it's just kind of stuck i don't think it's going anywhere just yet these are a little more time apple same thing apple uh just same dreaded h pattern keeps doing it over and over is down a dollar at 141.75 as part of the the dow actually um so when i'm looking at this i'm saying the xlk is going to struggle it is down this is there to be select tax spider fund down 35 cents at 150 77 struggling peak d this is a cell mode in the weekly chart uh all i can say is that we're looking at the rotation and i'll explain what i'm looking at here uh in the just a couple of questions i'll try to get i've got those i've got those i've got those yes i did the fxi a question on murk uh murk i haven't looked at for a little while murk's pulling back is sorry to fold the gap off to the big news related big spike to the upside they've got that medication that you can take no shot you just take a pill if it gets passed that'll be good but i think it's all kind of put into the stock so just watch closely at 79 85 down nine cents i suspect that it's just stuck in this range for a while i'd say 81 to 82 is resistance and it must hold 75 a break 75 it means it's done for now but actually i don't i think it's just in a sideways training range until we start to see the actual financial results of what's going to happen and then maybe it breaks out and goes to the 8831 full-time high of december of 2020 we'll be watching that another question came here iyt absolutely iyt is the i shares Dow Jones transportation average industrial fund i can never say the name without chucking such a long name it's just doing nothing right now it's held quite well but it's not breaking i'm 287 was the all-time high back in may and and it slumps down to the 240s 40 that's about 70 decline at the time that the Dow was making new highs now they're both consolidating no it's just telling us that things are going on that that you've got to take seriously right now uh then so this is going to be interesting so in sequence uh gdx came as another question i was doing this just now gdx is holding well it's a it's a 31.08 i should say subscribes real long we have a long position and i'm treating this only as a trade at this particular point watching closely to see what happens just a generic thing for us rather than specific stocks and what it is i would say that as as it stands right now there is a potential cup formation that's going to attempt to get to the 31.50s that's where the evidence comes in because the nine period moving average in the weekly chart is a 31.12 we're testing it right now 31.12 exactly and the 14 period is a 31.90 and you want to see it try to get to the 31.50s and use that as a springboard to close not just break above but close in the weekly chart only because it's used up so much time and in a way it is in play but that bitcoin look at this bitcoin i mean this is so it pulls back today big deal down 850 at 57 130 i i suspect this is a peak b we still remain a very small position remain long we had fantastic gains i just wanted to keep it i did miss it was my fault i did the analysis i just didn't take the plunder and you had that big move up back in the beginning of october i should have just said close your eyes get in this but we have the overnight the gbtc which is the fund which means it doesn't trade overnight and you kind of stuck if you make a mistake you can take a clover you can get really hit the next day i like what i see so for subscribers we might just add a trading position if i see the conditions are right and i do believe that that ugly candle of in gbtc this is actually in the bitcoin investment trust of the week of the 14th of may 47 uh 48 round now 48.08 the high and 3490 low i think we're trying to fill most of that and we'll see what happens i do i'm calling it a leg in the weekly chart we'll see meantime it's holding really well it's in play as as something very different to what the gold position is right now so um that's the i did that okay now yeah this is a good statement no i don't see the corner oh we have mark in four columns mark how are you good battle how are you well you would like to look at well there's a couple little altheimers well one's bigger and one smaller altheimers uh drug stocks one's alz n and the other one we talked about before sava and they both have uh well they're not similar chart patterns alz and just gone straight down and had one big candle on some fda news and it's kind of retracing on light volume i wonder what you think about that and then if you have time to look at sava that would be and sava was the other one that is cassava cassava when did i see the other day savia which had a lot of talk about cassava but it was actually a place cassava all right control r there it is okay so this is what i'm thinking these are strictly for me then news related and when you get a consolidation and it really is not going back to the previous low really in cassava's case it ran up to 68 in p at peak a and then it just kept coming down day after day low highs low lows but it's holding beautifully above the 39.01 low of the 15th of september at 51.30 but i like to treat this either as a measured move that you can do when you are looking at the price or there's a news related thing and we have a couple of people in there in one in particular who does a lot of work looking at when news related to work you know how they are for each level of fda approval etc so i'm just going to say to you that in the sequence that i look at with 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 sessions of lower lows that's i'm not going to say it's a record but the last one is 130.27 with a 92 round number open on the 9th of july and it gets real it just gets dumped to the 69 level i mean that is a 113 to 69 and that took 1 2 3 4 5 6 6 sessions this is one of the longest digestive phases phases has had without taking out a left side low it did it before but that was 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 about 18 sessions but it went to a new low so i you know what give me a moment because i want to put the two together plus one or two others that i'll be looking at and then i want to talk about it in time sequence not in new sequences i don't know can you hold on sure okay we'll be back with mark in

on the front page of tfnn.com folks we're on with mark so mark i'm going to just say to you in the den uh bosnain who who does a lot of work in this particular area there's a lot of work in other areas as well but particularly biotech says that dpw if mark wants alzn exposure buying it dpw might be a better way to have an ev a segment among a few other penny stock positions all i'm going to say to you that wasn't your question your question was about both sava which is cassava sciences i'm going to suggest that within another two days today's Tuesday by thursday or friday if sava actually can pop above it says 5121 if it can get to 5320 there's a good chance it's going to go quickly to the 55 maybe even 57 area then i think it pulls back if it takes out yesterday's low of 47 77 if it closes under that i wouldn't touch it in in both cases i would just say i would personally hold off i don't want to risk money you you're really playing the odds and the other one that you were looking at alzn all i can say this is not what i want to even at 2044 cents it's just too risky i don't see anything and if you see a big spike you can intraday you can just jump on it and rally with it and take your money and go home and that's the only way i would do this so i would leave it for a day or two and i hope that helps you yeah it does i've already uh i've played sava twice for decent profits and i just kind of look at this okay so so keep in mind that's the way you want to do it you you have a good handle on that so hold off for now but watch it closely and see those positions see that what was that other symbol that um are you telling me about gpw dpw yes was it yeah i i know it's a dpw and it's just it's like a penny stock it's also a 228 so that's it uh so just thank you for thank you for calling so folks you're gonna have Larry Fezaventa you've got a great program and coming up i'll be back with tom later on and i just wanted to mention in the den was a whole bunch of the aerospace area i was discussed and that's interesting because we have one of those gpw because uh different dynamics was showing up really sharp it's done very well since we've got it


It moves remarkably fast and today is no exception. I gotta tell you, in the last 24 hours, actually, since I woke up this morning, it has been quite a little roller coaster ride. So we're gonna talk about what I thought was inevitable, which is the SEC is suing finance. So let's just jump into it. Now, a lot of people have been talking about this today. I have been glued to the set, taking a look at Twitter and all the different things that are coming out. And I have to tell you, it's a lot of assumptions and that's just how it is because of the nature of the beast. But this, in all honesty, is something that I always thought was going to happen. I thought it was inevitable. And quite honestly, I wasn't even gonna do a live stream on it because when I saw it, I go, well, that's just par for the course. But it seems like a lot of people are concerned about it. So here we go. So here is the actual legal documentation for the SEC filing against finance and suing them for specific instances. Now, I have listed this in the description. You're welcome to read through it. It's 136 pages, which we will go through in detail page by page right now. Now I'm just kidding. That would be way too much work. And thankfully for you, I've already gone through all of it and I'll just give you the highlights.  But this is all about Binance and BAM Trading. BAM Trading is a subsidiary of Binance US, it looks like, or Binance, I should say. And it's just interesting just how much work was put into this document and just how thorough the US government is. I gotta tell you, it's quite astounding. But it states here, BAM Trading Employees Referred to Zows and Binance Control of BAM Trading's operation is shackles that prevent BAM Trading employees from understanding and freely conducting the business of running and operating the business or Binance US platform.  There is a lot of quotes in here which makes you wonder exactly how the US government, SEC got so many direct quotes and there's a plethora of them. And it's just like they, maybe there's spies everywhere. Who knows? When the Binance US platform launched in 2019, Binance was implementing controls to block US customers from the Binance platform. In reality, Binance are the opposite. Zao directed Binance to assist certain high value US customers in circumventing those controls and do so surreptitiously because as Zao, CZ himself acknowledged Binance didn't want to be held accountable for these actions. Binance CCO explained on the surface, we cannot be seen to have US users, but in reality, we should get them through other creative means. I don't know who the CCO is, but I gotta tell you, this was a direct quote from the CCO. It states as Binance's CCO bluntly admitted to another Binance compliance officer in December 2018, we are operating a f-ing unlicensed securities exchange in the USA Bro. I gotta tell you, it's, first of all, they have to prove that this was actually said. They have to go through the court of law and they have to go through discovery and of course, Binance and their legal team has to go through it by a fine tooth comb and say, no, this wasn't what it was, this is what it is, and how'd you get this information? And this was, this is hearsay, legal speak and whatever else, but it is pretty damning when you have something like the CCO comes up and says this. It's quite amazing. So, not surprising though. And then there's some more stuff here, but it gets super boring and really the whole document is them just making the case of just how Binance is. They talk a lot about co-mingling funds in here. They talk about how there wasn't the right disclosures. I gotta tell you, the co-mingling of funds is not a great term to be used after FTX and some people have made the assumption that maybe this information that was begotten by the SEC was maybe from somebody who went and talked to Gary Gensler quite a bit and had numerous meetings with him and that person's name, unfortunately, is Sam Bakeman Freed. And I'm not saying that's what it is, that's what we have. So, moving forward in this document, it's just amazing to me just how in depth it goes as to everything. But what I wanted to show you is this. They named certain cryptos as securities. They named Solana and they gave you specific instances of why it actually is. They gave it Cardano, which was a pretty weak description of why they believe it's a security. They say information publicly disseminated by Cardano, including their sales of ADA have led ADA holders, including those who purchased ADA since number 2017 reasonably to view ADA as an investment in and expect to profit from the Cardano's donation to grow the Cardano platform, which in turn will increase demand for and value of ADA. And MATIC, Polygon, they have a ton of information. Not only they have what people have said, but they've taken things from the Twitter account from MSNBC interviews about how they were going to be the top three and on and so on and so forth. And just to go through it, this is what they name it. And I think most of you know this, but they're saying that Solana is a security, Cardano, Polygon, MATIC, Filecoin, Cosmos or Atom, Sandbox, Mana, essentially, Algorand, Axie, Infinity and Cody Network. To me, I look at this and I'm like, why do they just stop there? Why don't they just name everything as a security? Because that's what Gary has said numerous times. He says basically everything is a security. Why is it he's only cherry picking these every so often? Because I mean, not too long ago, they named a couple of other groups of cryptos, Algorand being one of them as a security. And now they're just adding on some more here. And it's just like every so many months or so, we get another description of what is a security and it screws up the market and so on and so forth. It's very interesting to me because of what Gary said at his MIT presentation. This was, believe, 2018, 2019. I don't want to say 2018. So just listen to what he says here because it is a drastic departure. We already know in the US and in many other jurisdictions that three quarters of the market are not ICOs or not what we could be called securities, even in the US, Canada and Taiwan, the three jurisdictions that follow something similar to the Howie test that we've talked about. Three quarters of the market is non-securities. It's just a commodity, a cash crypto. So you'll hear debates about initial coin offerings and what's a security and what's not a security relevant, relevant and important debate, but for three quarters of the market, it's not particularly relevant as a legal matter. I gotta tell you, interesting, and everybody's free to change their mind. That's okay, but it just is interesting how he's gone from one extreme to most of it's not to essentially everything is. It confounds me, I have no idea. So the market, of course, responded and this is just for posterity. We see that Bitcoin is down, everything's down across the board. Binance coin, BNB, took five of the biggest hit, 10% down in a day. Negative 9%, Solana, down 10%, and so on and so forth and so on and so forth. So that's their side and that's what they say it is. Again, not surprised. And to show the other part, here is SECs, or here's, excuse me, here's Binance's response to that. And they pretty much just say that it's unfounded. We're going to go to court and we're going to vigorously protest what has been said here. And it states, it says, look, it seems based on these developments that the SEC's goal here was never to protect investors. If that were the true of the case, the staff would have thoughtfully engaged with us on the facts and on our efforts to demonstrate the safety and security of the Binance US platform. The SEC's real intent here instead appears to make headlines. I gotta tell you, it's a good point. It's the same thing with Ripple and XRP. How many of our friends, people that we know, whether that be in real life or online, I got screwed by the SEC just by bringing in Ripple against the case where they could have potentially gone through discussions, talks, not brought this into court and settled this in another manner.   We, the SEC, maybe we missed the Voyager, the Celsius, the FTX, maybe we missed that. Let's make up lost ground. Let's really go hard. That's okay. That's essentially what I thought was going to happen. And this is just the normalcy of what it is. But there's one thing that just confounds me and that is that this, we just saw that Bitcoin went down to 6.2% or whatever else it is. Gary has maintained, in the video we just watched at MIT, to what he is now, he has maintained that Bitcoin is a commodity. He said that very clearly. And he's talked about Ethereum, he's walked that back a little bit. Now that's one from proof of word to proof of stake. I understand, I suppose. But there's no reason why Bitcoin should go down. Was there a hack? Was there a double spend? Did somebody come out and say, hey, I'm Satoshi Nakamoto and I'm with the CIA or something? I don't think so. So to me, when I look at this, I'm like, this is kind of a rational response to what's happening. I get it, people are worried, but in all honesty, it was just bound to happen. And I'll get to that in a second. Alex, honestly, I think it's good. I'll say why, I bet. But I will say this. And I said this before, and I said this in February. I said this in May. You gotta sue the SEC. You gotta bind together or band together or else they're gonna pick you off one by one. That's what I said before. That's why I'm sticking to it and they're doing a damn good job. So Coinbase is already there. It'd be interesting if Coinbase and Binance come together, maybe Kraken, I don't know if they can do that after they've signed the document that doesn't allow them to go right after the SEC. But again, it's a great quote from Benjamin Franklin, whether they're hanging together or more so surely we will hang separately. And I'm not saying that Binance is in the clear and fantastic and didn't do anything dirty. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that if we want regulatory clarity, if we leave it up to Gary Gensler, I think we know where we're going. And there's only one way out and that is through. And that is through Gary Gensler and the SEC. So that's a problem, but that's okay because I believe that we just have to go through this. Which leads me to my last couple of points. I talked to Simon Dixon. If you don't know Simon Dixon, Bank of the Future, he's invested in small little companies like Coinbase and Kraken, Abra, Ethereum, bought Bitcoin at $3, create his own bank and stuff like that. So I had him on the show numerous times and we had talked and I asked him specifically again, you may have already seen this. I'm gonna play this clip. It's about two minutes. I asked him specifically, I'm like, who's lying? Because somebody's lying. It's either the exchanges who are lying to us and saying that we just can't get this done. The SEC's not doing it. Or it's the SEC who's lying to us. I learned to not jump to conclusions as much as possible. At least I try. So I asked him a specific question and since he's already gone through and worked with regulatory bodies to get compliance and they just got Ethereum staked. Ethereum staked as a security. Ethereum staking as a security, I should say. And I asked him, how hard was it and who's not telling the truth? So just listen to this. Yeah, well, both are true. So I think the SEC has made some really bad decisions. They let Celsius and FTX get the size that they are and people lost a lot of money. And at the same time, you can see the flip-flopping between make sure you apply and we went through some of those processes. So the broker dealer and ATS, which is how you do trading with securities without being a national exchange, we sold that to Coinbase and Coinbase acquired that and they've been trying to do security tokens through that, but we've spent, I mean, at Bank to the Future, we're actually now the longest standing company in Bitcoin and we're the world's first regulated securities business.  So, we just launched ETH staking as a security and it takes like a couple of years just to get all of those different parts together. So nobody is used to the user experience that you have to go through in order to do this compliantly and it's very disruptive to the business model that they may be used to if they were doing things as crypto. And so really, both are correct, but I do think that the SEC has had to, they've had a lot of criticism for good reasons and they have to start letting these people get regulated and I do all think they pick winners and losers and there's some politics going on with whatever happened with FTX. There was some politics going on with what happened with Coinbase and Ripple and all these things. And the US is certainly losing a chunk of this market in order to protect the incumbents because they don't want the rules to affect everyone going off their normal exchanges and then coming over here. And that is really what this is about. Imagine if you implement a little thing and then Google suddenly says, right, I'm delisting off NASDAQ, I'm creating a security token and we're going over here. It can be incredibly disruptive when you are the largest capital market in the world. And so you've got to get inside that.  Sorry to swear. We embarrassed our industry. We do all sorts of scammy things. We made our, we're our own worst enemies. True. We did some things which are just unforgivable. They're going to lead to a lot of people saying you should have regulated, please regulate this stuff harder. I lost my life savings.  But it's the natural evolution of innovation. And I think we come out at the end a better place. And thankfully there's competition amongst countries. You've got El Salvador that's coming out doing digital securities. You've got Europe doing virtual asset service provider regimes with all insider trading, all insider information, all of those things. And the US just needs to catch up with what the global regulators are saying everyone else needs to do. Exactly. I couldn't have said it better. Actually, I literally cannot say that better. Yeah, we're going to come out at a better place. And Simon, I believe, is right. Also, good news, me, Simon and Azad are going to be at the Coin Bureau event this Saturday as a matter of fact in London. So if you're in the area, stop by and check that out. But here's the thing, just like he talked about, he's like, yeah, we did it. We can do it. It is possible. People get all freaked out about this, about securities and commodities and currencies and da-da-da. We buy securities all day long in America. We do this all the time. They're called stocks. We do this on Robinhood. It's just that there's regulatory clarity. Like, yeah, okay, it's a stock of the security, got it. So for us, when we're doing these things, we're just like, okay, well, you know, I've said this for a long time. Just give us regulatory clarity of what it is. If Gary's not going to do it, well, Congress just put a new bill in place, Republicans, to give us clarity as to what is a security, a commodity as it pertains to digital assets. So I'm looking forward to that. But here's the last piece, which is this. It can be done. It's been done and there's already been approval for an exchange of broker dealer in the United States right now by FINRA on the SEC. And we covered this a couple of weeks ago. This is from May 23rd. And this is what it is. FINRA, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority and Industry Funded Oversight Armcred by the SEC announced that it had approved its forced broker dealer. That's what Simon was just talking about, which, what they gave the Coinbase with custody rights for digital asset securities from Athea member, Capital LLC. That's the name of the company. FINRA also gave OTC Markets Group, same thing, and legally provide trading for crypto securities. Here's the website from Athea. And this is the first step. They're like, look, we got approval. It is for institutions right now. And again, fair and early markets, crypto indefinitely, a bridge from securities to cryptos, SEC and FINRA registered, bill for digital assets, blah, blah, individual investors join our wait list. So it's not like this is impossible. It has already been done. And for some reason, comment below, FINRA and SEC are picking winners. And I shouldn't say it like that. I should not say it like that. Not that they're picking winners, but they're picking the people. They're giving the documentation, the people that are going into register. Whether that be the winners or not the winners, I'm just letting everybody know it is possible. It's not impossible. Things are actually being done and moving.  It's 2023. If we look at the four year cycles, we knew it was gonna be awful. And 2024 is not gonna be that much greater until we hit a Bitcoin halving in April or May. I got time. So these to me are just things that have to be done. I'm looking forward. Anyhow, that's it for today. So look, a little bit long, sorry about that, but I just wanted to calm some people's nerves, just tell them to relax. It's gonna be all right. Not a big deal. We'll get through it. And that's it. Like today's video, thumbs up. Consider subscribing. Get your news from somebody. It doesn't have to be me. Just stay on top of things. And that's it.


I'm about ready to show you how to make some of the best pan seared cod you've ever had in your life. Check out how I make it. Get you a cast iron pan preheated to just a medium temperature.  Notice this was the skin side. We're gonna lay that side down and sprinkle generously. You can always use more danos because it is low sodium. There's no sugar. It's real flavor y'all. Time for a temp check. Oh yeah it's hot. Go in with a little bit of cooking oil. Season side down. Now we season the other side. It's been about two minutes. We give it a flip. Add about two tablespoons of butter and last step squeeze the juice of a fresh lemon. Should have a puddle of juice like that. Let it cook out and then we're done. Now we just gotta see if it's any good. Well you already know the answer to that question. Yum yum get you some. Hmm.

We all agreed and acknowledge that climate change is a development issue, but for me it's also about economy and humanity. And of course you cannot address each of these in segments. And the human being needs so many issues to be secured. And the human development realm is composed of ensuring that water is secure, you have food security, you have environmental security, you have social and all other issues that makes life comfortable. And in these current discussions, I think the head of states must take this in a holistic manner to issue that not only climate change, but human security issues are dealt with in a very holistic manner.
