to Finding Happiness in Hard Times. I'm Ken Burtness and I'm coming to you from Haleva out at the North Shore. Now today we're gonna look at happiness from the other side. We're gonna look at unhappiness. And the title of the show is Dealing with Waffs and Greeth. But don't let that discourage you because the tagline for the show is moving back into the sunlight. And help us move back into the sunlight is my good friend, Daniel Love. Daniel, welcome to the program. Hi there. Daniel is a super therapist and his specialty is pain. And one of the first things that I know Daniel does with pain, and by the way, his moniker is the comfort doc, which I really love because he brings comfort to a lot of people. And I know that one of the first things he needs to do when dealing with pain is to try to reduce the stress that people are facing. And of course, loss is tremendously stressful and the resulting grief. So maybe that's a good place to start, Daniel, if you could tell us a little bit about the relationship between all those factors there. Well, certainly we're not just talking about pain, we're talking about a person's life and their lifestyle. And before the injury or disease or whatever brought on the pain before that came along, they had a relatively fine life. And they had things that they would expect to do. And then when the pain hits, they can't do a lot of those things. As you probably know, when you can't do things you really want, you start missing them, you feel their loss. And the grief process is part of adjusting, moving from what I see of as the old normal into something you can create, which is a new normal. But that process, there's a lot of grief and loss and sadness, which can also stress you out. So that's the connection that I've seen over the years. Well, one of the things that really gets to me is the fact that, you know, and maybe I'm just because I'm getting older, but the world seems much more stressful nowadays. And as this stress builds up, as catastrophe comes after catastrophe, as loss is inflicted on so many people, it just becomes very, very difficult. And it seems like everybody is dressed out. People are depressed, people are anxious, they're insecure about the future. Can you tell us a little bit about how you help them when things just, when the bottom falls out of things, like it is done recently with the Maui wildfires, the hurricanes that the East Coast has been facing, all the floods that the world has had to deal with in the last month or so. Maybe that's a good place to take a look at how we can do that. Yeah, I haven't seen anyone from there just yet. But it is very, very understandable. And some of the first things I do with someone is essentially listen and acknowledge they're going through hard times right now. You know, there's no way around it. They are experiencing loss on a lot of levels. They might have lost a loved one, they might have lost a house in Maui recently in Israel, the terror attacks there, people on both sides are losing lives and losing neighborhoods and it's really horrible. So when those things happen, as a therapist or as a person, just to be able to be present for the person, to listen to them and to acknowledge what they're going through is the beginning and really acknowledge where they are. Because then some relief may start happening and that's part of the grief process and be able to express your sadness and your loss. You know, when I was teaching psych 101 to college students, I talked about three areas that bring her along stress to a person's life and that is catastrophe. That is significant life change and that is daily hassles. And what we're seeing today seems to combine all of that. It's like we can just put that all in one category because a person who's been dealing with the Maui wildfires are dealing with hurricanes or whatever. There's loss of property, there's loss of their house, there's loss of financial stability, there's loss of loved ones. Oftentimes it's all combined and then from then on in things just seem to last forever. The hassles that you have to go through, despite the well-meaning of the government and individuals to come in to help, there's a lot of red tape that goes with that and there's a lot of misdirection that happens and it can be so discouraging. I mean, how do you help people from get discouraged? It is hard because you're talking about the catastrophe again with people in pain or people with certain medical conditions or who've gone through tragic catastrophes like Maui. It takes a while just to process it for our brains to say, what just happened? I was going like this just finding that everything's gone or everything's changed or many things changed. Similarly with someone who has a chronic pain problem. I could, I remember I used to hike up a hill like this every day with my buddies and after a number of years, my knees said no. My knees just hurt too much so I had to give that up. That wasn't necessarily a catastrophe but it was a significant life change. I could not do the exercise I used to and you're right about those daily hassles. Think you engage in new hassles like just the people in Maui imagine just trying to get water. Trying to interact with people when you are just so angry or so hurt, it takes a while to adjust to that. That's why I'm glad there are a number of therapists and others there helping people in all kinds of ways. Well, let's talk about that adjustment because I think when people are faced with something catastrophic, their response is very emotional. All of a sudden it's like a bomb has gone off in your soul and all these things that were there are gone and the emotions just run incredibly high and what we have to do as therapists is we have to sort of bring them to the other side to let their reason and their mind take over from their emotions so that we can get them looking for solutions and then finding solutions and maybe how to implement them and that's an incredibly hard task for the individual and for the person helping them. So how do we bring them from that emotional chaos that oftentimes accompanies these catastrophes into something where they can sort of roll back and start looking at how to deal with that? No, you're absolutely right that it's so important to help people. I was saying listen to them talk about the catastrophe and their loss, but not just to stay there. And so to help them move from that, but baby steps little by little, okay? Because it can be via overwhelming even with like I said, the people in chronic pain if their perspective sees the loss of the ability to do what they used to do as a catastrophe. So it's no less than someone going through an actual physical catastrophe. So how do you help them move one way certainly is to find out what they want. That could be realistic. What would be as first small little thing you would like to try to move forward toward, okay? And like this fellow I worked with, again, this is an example from chronic pain. He was stuck in a chair for a long time with a terrible back pain. And I said, what would you like to do? Now for him it was big. He said, I want to work eight hours a day sitting at the computer. And he used to do that. I said, okay, even that big goal what would be the first small little step toward that goal? For him it was five minutes. Sit there for five minutes and then take breaks.  And this isn't just a step out of the loss and grief but it's a step in general is to start to spend time with good people, people who are loving and supportive. If it's hard to find somebody immediately sometimes you can find a good therapist or a minister or a rabbi or someone from a mosque or a Buddhist temple. Some clergy person who can also be helpful but connect with good people who will be caring and supportive. That goes a long way in helping people. Then the challenging part on my part if I've gone through that and I have gone through my own personal catastrophes what do I do? Well, once I kind of my head comes up a little from the grief a little bit I start to consider what is my next step what would be another small step? As I said, but then to really write it out even or consider it or talk with someone about it this starts to make it a little more real so that what I call a new normal can start to happen. You can start moving toward that new normal even from the ashes of the old normal. Let's talk about that reconnection because that I have found is very hard for people especially coming out of the lockdown from coronavirus which isolated us from a lot of people that we knew and cared about and then getting back into relationships getting back into getting in touch with people and for a lot of people I think it's not as easy as it used to be. And when you're faced with a catastrophe and trying to find these supported people that can be very difficult. And the people who are out there helping who are coming in from elsewhere for instance which often happened they tend to be stressed out themselves because we're always having less help or less able to give help than we normally would. And so it makes it difficult for everybody involved. One of the things that I often sort of tried to move people to was not only getting in touch with people but also seeing if there was a way that you could step to the other side as well. And oftentimes when you're in a situation a geographic situation like Maui or my last guest was from Tampa and she just had Birkeine Idalia come through. And create lots of problems for her friends. And so one of the things I oftentimes talked to them about was not only to reach out to get support from people but also to give support to them. And I find that that is a way to sort of get people out of their own emotional angst when they start focusing on other people. And strangely enough oftentimes I think it's easier to look at other people's problems and help them deal with their problems than deal with your own problems which is an interesting process. For sure. So I dealt with things like this. There's just so much research on this that when you help other people it really empowers you. It's very healthy for a person to be generous in help and healing for sure. I was thinking another way also if it's hard to connect to an individual person sometimes just going to a gathering. I know there's a number of gatherings been happening on Maui people supporting each other whether it's a vigil or whatever or church or wherever you go being in the presence of people in a way that you feel safe regarding COVID but feeling being in that presence can also be inspiring and empowering and healing. Yeah, that's for sure. What if there's no group available and can we inspire people to start their own group and bring people in to, you know and if you can't find a group then you start your own. Oh heck yeah, you know, I didn't say this but I was in a flood in California once and we were all shoved into a YMCA and you better believe one thing I noticed and I was doing this too is people broke up into little groups. You know, some people from the same neighborhood or whatever, some knew each other, some were brand new. I was brand new and it's amazing how people open up. I don't mean like group therapy open up. I mean just talking story and how normalizing that is because you're in a difficult abnormal situation but being with people it's something about our brains we're wired for positive social contact and so doing that in some way is also very healing. You know, when you mentioned flood immediately I was in a flood too except well standing by as the flood happened I came to Hawaii in 1971 but four years before that I was in Alaska with the military and I was in Alaska just outside of Fairbanks on a mountain top and the big flood of Fairbanks happened in 1967 the year I was there and you could drive a boat down our paddle a boat down the main street of Fairbanks because it was so far underwater and it was a disaster of the most devastating kind and what we did as I was in the Air Force was we were sort of directing the aircraft from Ilson Air Force Base which is in Fairbanks and they were coming and rescuing people up in the wilderness after their houses had washed away and everything and they would bring them to the University of Hawaii which was up on the hill overlooking Fairbanks, so dry and I was one of the people who were meeting these families and individuals who were being flown in by helicopter with nothing but the clothes on their back and a number of the catastrophes that we've been having recently including Maui and the hurricanes and the floods and everything where people just wind up with that's it that's all they've got stuff on their back well, that's what we'll be faced in Fairbanks and that was one of the things that made me come to love Alaska so much because the people were so strong we have here in Hawaii the Aloha spirit which is a tremendous support for all of us a way to live life in Alaska it's the frontier spirit and they came with that frontier spirit and they were ready to get back in the next day and start rebuilding and it was truly amazing but one of the things I was thinking about when we were gonna do the show was if the things drag on forever which nowadays they seem to even the heartiest folks even the folks that come to you and already started adapting or they get some of your solutions and they start getting better all of a sudden after weeks, months, even years sometimes they just get exhausted and that successful effort that they've made and the successful patient that you've had is recidivist, has fallen back and how do you deal with that? How do you deal with that long-term thing to bring them from short-term adaption into long-term health and the way of our tagline, long-term sunshine how do we get them there after so long that they've been dealing with this? Well, we're pretty knowledgeable to know that grief doesn't stop after a year, it starts to slow down but there are moments that we may remember something or re-experience it and so we'll have a challenging moment and sort of an answer is to build that into your recovery know that at some point in the future I may feel still some of that loss and I'm gonna make it okay and if I need to kind of slow down a little in what I'm doing, I'm gonna slow down in what I'm doing, that's okay because I will get back up on the horse again. There's a great story, I won't tell it, it's too long but basically the end of it is this king wants to know I want something that makes me happy when I'm sad and sad when I'm happy and this little jeweler gave him a ring and the inside of the ring was written this too shall pass. Everything changes and you can be there in a way and to make sure they change relatively in a positive direction, okay but there's gonna be difficulties in life like anything else, you know I'll tell you everybody knows but if we acknowledge it and not say that means that everything I just did is worthless that's just the thought that is incorrect so if you let that go get through whatever down you have some of my clients will say you're moving in this direction that means you're improving but as you do that there's ups there's downs, there's ups, there's downs but you're still moving in that direction and to remind yourself I'm gonna have a new place to live I'm gonna reconnect with my surviving friends and family or whatever it is you need to do to get through that catastrophe even talking with a counselor or therapist, a clergy person to help you move through that in time it does get better. Let's carry that though there, you know things change like you're saying this too will pass but the new normal or the new environment that you're going to is not the same and when you lose something to me and to other people that I've dealt with and tried to help there is an emptiness when you lose a special home a special friend a special you know whatever you can replace it but the replacement is never the same it cannot be you can't replace that and there's an emptiness in there and you can fill some of that up with new wonderful experiences new friends new things that are beautiful as well but there's gonna be a part when you pick up your iPhone and you look at your iPhone and you dial in the pictures from before that catastrophe and you see that what was lost again and the people and everything that's still no matter how much we refill there's still a little thing in there that's that's empty. Well, now I'm going to talk like a rabbi for a second. Okay, at least in my tradition and of course there's many spiritual and cultural traditions and some may do this as well but when people pass away we have something called a York site that we the memory of that person is treasured that we have not lost the memories of that person the good things they brought into the world and in fact there's even another level of that not only will I spend once a year remembering I made recordings of my mother and so I'll play those recordings who remember her to talk with people some people have a party on the death day to remember that person and celebrate their life but another level comes from this great story this little boy's dog died and he was just really sad and the rabbi talked with him and he said well what is something you really love that your dog did? He says well every time someone came to the door he went and greeted them at bark I said well you can do that too you can take that thing that that animal or that person brought into the world you can carry it on and so the little boy would always run to the door whenever someone was at the door to greet them so we can extend their presence in the world by doing some of the good things they brought into the world true we can't bring them into the world but we can bring their essence into the world and that can also empower us and make it okay to remember those losses from time to time that makes sense absolutely you know that's a great way to look at it one of the ways that I sort of deal with that emptiness because I've lost a number of friends now is to write about it and I oftentimes will recommend that there's many ways to sort of bring back an honor and follow in the footsteps because everybody has wonderful things that you remember about them that of the people that you hold close whether it's friends or family and to bring that back and to like you say with that little kid take it and make it a greeting that transcends the generations and brings that past person back because you're doing what they did and you're doing what they gave to other people that's a wonderful way of doing it and that's certainly a wonderful story thank you for that Daniel oh my pleasure well we're getting sort of close to the end Daniel so let me go to you know where do we well I was going to say where do we go but let's make it more straight let me just ask you if there's someone who has recently gone through something like the Maui wildfires and the hurricanes and the floods they're happening all over because of climate change oh you know and all sorts of other factors what's one thing that you would like to give them are a thought to leave them with it are a suggestion they only have one you know are well maybe two but you know you want to give them something that can sort of be an immediate you know feel better it's just easy for me to say okay but I've noticed this is very helpful often when people go through a loss they stay home a lot stay in one place and and they just kind of focus on the loss and if you're ready to start moving on in your life just get out of the house and go have an adventure get in the car take a ride get outside take a walk go take a hike doesn't even have to be super physical go someplace and sit and look at something beautiful but going and doing things maybe some things you've never done but you thought you might want to do that can that can all kind of move into developing a new normal but it's not even so much that just get out and and go explore the world because it's a different world because of what you went through to see what you can discover in the world now and some people who I've suggested this to they actually are really appreciative I knew someone who broke their shoulder and they couldn't use it for a while okay big catastrophe for them finally they kind of rehab themselves but they discovered exercise and they lost a lot of pounds and they're they're in so much better shape not that I wish that they would have broken their arm early or whatever but but use that to strengthen them to move forward and they discovered new things from that and they also go out into the world and visit and have adventures so having adventures larger small can be very helpful well that's certainly a great suggestion and one that I followed during covid interestingly enough you know after about six months into covid and locked down I needed to get out exactly what you're saying yeah you need to get out and so I just got into my car and just started driving and later I wrote a story about it called driving without destination because there was no place I could go I mean the stores were all shut down the people were all locked up I couldn't go visit people because I was afraid of infecting them or being infected by them right but I could still go out and even though I was traveling in new directions it was an adventure because I was looking at things that I hadn't seen in a long time instead of looking at a destination thinking about where I was going I was looking around yeah and I was looking at the mountains and I was looking at trees and the flowers and it was just incredibly rewarding and just a feel good moment so thank you for suggesting that it certainly worked for me and I think it's a it's a great idea for for most people I've done the same thing so no I appreciate it yeah so we got well I guess we're just about there so it's about thank you Daniel for for coming and thank you for sharing your suggestions and ideas and just it's wonderful being with you again on think tech away thank you so much I appreciate it. Thank you for having me and thanks to all of you tuned in today much appreciated you being there thanks to all the people at think tech away Jay and Carol and Michael and Haley of course now the next show we got coming up is a delightful show that I think you're really going to enjoy in two weeks so please tune in it's called the joy of reading children's books with your family and to do that we have the library in the up here from from Boilua Library and it should be a very heartwarming show it's the heartwarming subject that's coming together which as Daniel and I were talking about is certainly a way to deal with loss and grief and catastrophes is to come together we'll be doing that in two weeks thank you all and aloha


Greetings to all on World Parkinson's Day. I am Dr. Paril Dubey from Manipal Hospital Goa working as a consultant neurologist. Parkinsonism is a neurological disorder which involves various motor aspects of the body in the form of gait disturbances, tremors, postural imbalances and also a multitude of other issues are associated with it like bladder and bowel disturbances, autonomic dysfunction, speech and swallowing disturbances etc. It is important to remember that this illness has a psychological and social burden on the individual, the family and the caregivers which needs to be addressed because it has a bearing on the overall management of Parkinsonism. I would like to emphasise here that preventing falls is a very important part of managing Parkinsonism as a whole specially in the elderly because preventing falls can itself lead to a prevention of so many untoward complications that arise out of it. When Parkinsonism afflicts a person, a person gets trapped in a body which has physical incapacity. While earlier those physical faculties were at the back and call of a person, now he finds himself unable to do simple things and becomes dependent. While the inner being and the inner personality of the person quite often remains very intact, alert and active. Understanding this point is very important as a physician and as a caregiver. Our care and compassion goes a long way in making the lives of these people who are suffering and struggling with their physical incapacity. It adds value and meaning to their life. They deserve a dignified treatment. We should make all efforts to provide them a congenial atmosphere which adds to the progress of the person as a whole. We have to treat the person in a holistic way so that his psychological and spiritual growth keeps on happening while we also work on the physical aspects associated with the illness. Lastly today, in the time of Covid, especially, I would like to make a prayer saying these lines from the Upanishads, Sarve Bhavan Tussukinah, Sarve Santu Niramayaha meaning thereby that may all be truly happy and may all be free of disease. So my prayer and my wish on this day is that may our world and our earth be disease free, may all illnesses disappear from this earth. Thank you. Hello everyone. I am Dr. Saffal Shetty. I am a consultant neurologist working in Manipal Hospital, Gover. I wish everyone happy Parkinson's Day which is celebrated on April 11th this year. Parkinson's disease is a disease which commonly affects the elderly population, usually more than 60 years of age. However, there are patients who come before that also that is less than 60 years of age as well. So in them we have to think about a genetic basis for Parkinson's disease. So what constitutes Parkinson's disease basically? It is a disease which affects the mobility of a person. So they will predominantly come with tremors on one side of the body. So the tremors which are there are present only while they are in a sitting position or while they are in rest. It doesn't happen when the person is trying to do any activity. Along with the tremors they also have slowness which means that the pace with which they walk, the pace with which they speak reduces. So these are the two important points which we have to remember whenever we think about Parkinson's disease. So when do we get medical attention for this particular disease is that whenever an elderly person has tremors on one side of the body predominantly at rest and also whenever there is slowness of his activities of daily living. These are the two points, these are the two features which we have to keep in mind whenever we are thinking about Parkinson's disease. So once the person gets medical attention how do we go about it from there. Usually brain imaging in the form of MRI is done to rule out any other cause of any other cause of Parkinson's disease. Like Parkinson's disease can mimic stroke also. So usually neuroimaging in the form of MRI is done. So once the diagnosis of Parkinson's disease is made the treatment is available in the form of medications mainly and one another important point is that what is the basis for Parkinson's disease. Basically what happens is that there is decrease in a chemical in the brain called dopamine. Dopamine is a chemical which is required for us to move around at the regular pace. Whenever there is decrease in the this chemical dopamine the pace of the person walking and all the tremors come out. So in treatment of Parkinson's disease what is done is that the dopamine is given from outside as a tablet that's what is the main treatment for Parkinson's disease. So once the dopamine is started in the form of medication it has to be taken for lifelong and we know that Parkinson's disease is a disease which progresses gradually in the form that tremors can become more even the slowness of the activities will become slightly more even with the medications. But there are medications so that the disease is stabilized and the progression is also slowed down. So whenever the disease becomes slightly advanced then there is an option of surgery for these patients in the form of deep brain stimulation. So feasibility for deep brain stimulation has to be checked before making a person undergo deep brain stimulation. As such the life expectancy of the Parkinson's patients does not decrease there they can have other comorbidities in the form of privities or hypertension which can have an impact on their life expectancy. All in all Parkinson's disease is a disease which is going to affect the person's mobility mainly and it has a significant impact on the caregiver also because as the disease progresses the caregiver has to be there all the time with the patient so it can cause certain amount of psychological impact on the caregiver as well. There are new medications which are being available in the market nowadays and also research is under way for new medications and also new techniques so that the Parkinson's disease treatment can be made better. I wish everyone happy Parkinson's Day. Thank you so much.


Our final stop takes us to Toluca Lake, where John Ritter's early years were spent in a house with a rich Hollywood history. Built in 1937, this Paul Williams traditional house was not just any ordinary residence. It was once the cherished home of country singer and actor Tex Ritter and the childhood home of John Ritter himself. Over the years, the house has undergone expansion and renovation, growing to 8,400 square feet with six beds and eight baths. From formal living and dining rooms to a bar room, games room and a kitchen with cozy fireplace, this house offers a glimpse into the history of Hollywood itself. The house also features two master bedroom suites, a gym, a media room and dual offices, each with its own unique charm.


Good day, fellow investors. Now we have recently started analyzing food and agriculture stocks as a way to protect our portfolio from whatever can happen in the economic environment in the future because food demand is expected to grow. One significant part of the food chain is seafood. And today we're going to discuss a little bit the seafood sector and nine interesting seafood stocks too. Let's say make our portfolio defensive but also to take advantage of the positive seafood trend that's going on. Many have been discussing how organic is the next trend in food but if we look at Google searches over time seafood has been constantly increasing in searches and organic has been declining since 2004 which is very interesting and shows that there is a positive trend backing seafood. Not that much organic. What's also very important is that wild catches are stable because you have to be very careful how you fish in order to not over fish and there are quotas all around the world where governments protect what is there and the growth in fishing is limited. Therefore aquaculture has really exploded in the last 40 years and is expected to continue to grow in the future because there is more demand for seafood. As you can see demand for seafood has been exploding and is expected to constantly significantly grow in the next 20 40 years. So the trends are positive but it is also important to mention the risk. Seafood is not that defensive as normal food and agriculture because seafood is also cyclical. So you have to really see how the cycle moves. Fisheries can get overfished so there can be situations where prices are high but there is not enough supply or on the other way there could be really good catches really good seasons that really create oversupply and low prices low margins. Further there can be diseases in aquaculture bad weather bad temperature El Nino the Gulf stream was the temporary so a lot of issues around seafood that one has to really take into account when investing. Nevertheless let's dig into some stocks to see what are the risk reward and what is the market sentiment in relation to seafood stocks. The first stock I want to discuss is Highliner Foods which is the company that is growing through acquisitions. I always like companies that grow through acquisitions in a growing sector because usually companies are bought from a current view perspective but the future growth is really what brings the benefit to such companies. An example of such a company that has been growing through acquisition is capstone paper and packaging. As you are ordering more and more online the company has really taken advantage of past acquisitions. Similarly Highliner Foods has been taking advantage of past acquisitions. However the problem is that in the last four years revenue has been flat and earnings have been declining a little bit. Now if that is a temporary issue Highliner will be a great success in the future especially as they continue to invest and acquire other companies in a very very fragmented sector. Secondly the price to earnings ratio is just 14 and the dividend yield is 4 percent which is above market averages. So that's look like a good investment. You get paid while you wait. However the company requires much deeper analysis in order to see if it is a good investment. Nevertheless it is promising. Clearwater Seafood also has a price earnings ratio of 14 and the stock price is trading at 52 weeks close. The company has lost its monopoly on Arctic surf clam and has seen its revenue significantly decline in the last quarter. Now again perhaps such declines are excellent investing opportunities as the long-term trend is positive. Another company that I want to discuss is Marine Harvest. It is a Norwegian salmon producer and it has really taken advantage of the huge increase in demand for salmon and higher salmon prices. You can see the salmon consumption over the last 19 years has been expanding at 7 percent per year. The trend is still strong so people expect again much more demand for salmon. However in 2018 they expect lower salmon prices because the supply will grow at 12 percent. Nevertheless if everything continues as is a long-term investment might be interesting. Probably the price earnings ratio won't be 10 in the future and the dividend won't be 10 percent perhaps 5 but there is uncertainty and investors don't like uncertainty because nobody can see the price of salmon in 2018 and 2019. It will be lower but the question is how much lower it will be. So in such a scenario you have to really see okay I want to invest in the company I want to be exposed because of the positive long-term trend but you really have to invest in stages here. Nobody knows what will happen to salmon prices but the question is will this company go bankrupt. No will I get a dividend if I buy it yes will it be 10 percent will it be 5 percent it is uncertain. What's the risk of the company going bankrupt in the next five years very very low if something crazy doesn't happen in the world of salmon and how much salmon we eat. So really look at uncertainty and risk as again a diversification part of your portfolio. I cannot tell you that the stock price will surge in the next 12 months that's something that in this case in all seafood stocks I cannot tell you. In the next 10 years can I tell you that there will be ups and downs and that the stock price will be higher than it is now very very likely. Leroy Seafood Group is another Norwegian company a little bit less focused on salmon however they are all focused on that one fish. The price earnings ratio is again low at 7 so it seems like another interesting salmon investment. Another not Norwegian from the fore-oars is Bakafrost same story here depending on salmon prices however if you look at the company owned by insiders Bakafrost is the stock for you as the main shareholders are insiders and they are doing what they need to do to protect their ownership. Ostefol Seafood is a company that owns 50% of Leroy has a lot of other fishing production in Peru and Chile but that is just a small part of revenue. So if you are looking for arbitrage between Leroy and Ostefol you can see what is cheaper and how to take advantage of that. Now there is also salmon producing in Tasmania so Tasal Tasmanian salmon is an Australian company which has excellent fundamentals. EBTDI has been growing cash flows are stable and the dividend has been increased over the last five years. As long as there is demand for salmon in Asia and in Australia this company will do well and it is investing a lot in future growth. So this company really looked like growth companies at price earnings ratio of 10 and a dividend yield again of 4%. There is no point in continuing to discuss more Norwegian salmon producers so I'll just mention Greek Seafood and Salmar that have the same characteristics as the above mentioned companies. What is interesting about Salmar is that they invested about 90 million dollars in offshore salmon farming. This is the Ocean Farm 1 and will be the world's first offshore fish farm that's a pilot project. However it shows how there will be competition there is competition in the industry and everybody is trying to find a way how to cultivate those fishes at lower prices. So what's left to do really analyze the salmon sector how low can salmon prices go and see if those dividends those high dividends in the salmon environment are sustainable. If they are we can see some lower prices where that can be taken advantage before the next jump up in salmon prices the next supply gap as salmon prices salmon demand is going up. Further those Canadian fish companies US fish companies look very well because the sector is positive demand is positive fish food is should be healthier than meat and an average American eats 144 pounds of chicken and beef and only 14 pounds of fish per year so if you want to live healthier I hope the world will live healthier we'll want to live healthier so we have to eat more fish in relation to meat which is again a positive trend. Thank you for watching we'll be digging deeper into the salmon sector and into those Canadian US frozen food stocks in order to see if there is some more investing potential. Share your thoughts what do you think did I forget something some interesting companies to take advantage of the sector that are cheap and that could lead to stable long-term profitable low-risk high reward returns. I'm looking forward to see you in the next video.


Now I don't think they're gonna be stellar. I don't think they're gonna be the best team in the NFL But I think they can very easily win their division starting off with the first two games Texans and Jags I think those are wins and then after that they're pretty much gonna split every single game I don't think they're gonna go on these super long win streaks. So I think they lose to the Chiefs I think they beat the Titans. I think they lose to Denver I think they beat the Jags again Then I think they go into Tennessee and lose and then I think they go back home and beat Washington And then they go on the road and beat New England and then they lose to the Raiders Lose to the Eagles beat the Steelers lose to the Cowboys Then they go into their bye week come out beat Minnesota on the road lose to the Chargers beat the Giants on the road Before finishing out the season and beating the Houston Texas that would make them 10 and 7 and would win them the AFC South
