All right, perfect.  There we go. All right, there we go. Perfect. Well, welcome everybody. My name is Faustal Pugliese, President Founder of Cybertrain University. Thank you for coming today on this lovely day. Market's now at about 45 points. We had a huge correction going on this week. We were down almost 1,200 points. I'm gonna set 13, I'm gonna set 13. You're probably freaking out. You're wondering what's going on. Is COVID still around? Is now is it inflation affecting it? Some of you are swing trading. Maybe you're trying a different type of a market and not understanding what's going on. Maybe you wanna change. Maybe you wanna quit. No, you know what? It's not that all these bad things are happening. You just gotta know how to play the game because it's actually been a really good market for us traders. And that's what I'm gonna do today. Today I'm gonna teach you the art of trading. Now we have a lot of representatives here at Cybertrain University. They're gonna answer your questions. Yes, this is a live event for some of you that think this is maybe when these recordings, no, it's live. So if you have any questions, feel free to answer them. If I don't wanna hold this up too much. I know we have other things to do. I'm gonna get right into it. We're probably gonna go for about 45 minutes, maybe a little bit longer.   It's not that complicated. Maybe you took training from someone else and now realize that they told you everything that was happening in the past, I'm gonna teach you what's gonna happen in the future. And it's all gonna talk about how to trade and buy with the order book. Now for some of you, what's the order book? Well, I'm gonna show you how you can have a seat on the exchange of the market. And that's gonna be the great part about it. So with that saying, ladies and gentlemen, just really quick little disclosure, just lets you know I'm not making any guarantees or promises or warranties. You need to trade responsibly. You could lose a lot of money if not all of it. So once again, be very, very careful. But this is strictly just educational purposes only. All right, now, let's dive right into what we're about to learn. We're gonna talk about how to find the big money. We're gonna talk about the most important trading tools that you need to trade today's out to markets. The best times to train the market, how to become a overall rounded, very successful trader. We could talk about a couple of strategies. You could apply towards swing trading, investing. We're also gonna talk about how to use charts. Do you know 80, 90% of you are reading charts backwards? I know that might sound crazy, but don't worry about, we're gonna cover it. And we're also gonna talk about a lot more. Now, here's a couple of questions I wanna ask all of you. Do you feel sometimes that you're missing some opportunities by entering too late? Do you feel like you're one of those people? How about this, question two. Do you wish you could be consistently seeing the future of the market? Now, that sounds pretty ridiculous, but no, it's not. I'm gonna show you, we're gonna do that. But wouldn't it be nice that you'll be able to have a little bit of a game plan to know where they are? How about question number three? I like this one, which is coming up next. But if you said yes to any of these questions, well, guess what? Good news, you're in the right place. So that's really what we're gonna cover. So, question three, this is where we're gonna go into it. Are you one of these types of traders?  Do you feel like sometimes you're too greedy? You know, in a way you're refusing to take losses and stuff like that. Too analytical, you're sitting there reading this chart, that chart, adding this indicator, listen to this person reading that book, watching this YouTube video. Do you feel like that person? Well, these are the categories people have all the time. And I'm gonna hopefully gonna try to eliminate and take all that off your chest today because these are the issues that make people lose in the market, specifically one very big thing, which you probably won't hear from any other gurus out there. I am not here to teach you how to make money. You know, and I know like, wait a minute, isn't that the whole purpose of being here? No, no. The reason why you're here is you don't, you need to learn how to take losses. You see, if you knew how to take losses, the winners take care of themselves. Nobody likes to take a loss. I'm gonna show you some examples.  I would have got, if I didn't, I would have got crushed. And these are all the things, the greed, the afraid, too analytical. So now that now you might ask yourself, how does Fowster know which stocks to trade? Well, the big thing is, I just follow the money. You know, if you're not following the big block orders, the institutions, the high frequency trades, the dark pools, the algorithms, you're pretty much in the dark. I mean, think about it, who really trained you? I mean, and then where did they learn? Were they like me? Did they work on Wall Street? Well, so before I get explained how I do that, let me introduce myself. So you know who exactly, who I am and why you're here and why I'm here to talk to you because my goal today is I am looking for traders that I could personally train, that I could train with you, okay? That's really where it comes down to it. So, by the way, there's a couple of questions coming across here. I know Alex, you're here. Just feel free if you could ever share some of those. Great questions. Some of them we need to copy and I want you to share them in there, all right? So please, let's go take care of that because I think a lot of people here should see some of the great questions are out there. Now, just to let you know about myself, I got 25 years of trading experience. I'm a veteran. I've been in the trading community. I work, like I said, I live here in New York, the financial capital of the world. And with that said, being in the financial capital world, I live in an area where there's just so many market makers that live in my town. I deal with these people all day. They go to my country club. I see them out to dinner. Listen, you're not gonna beat them. And I think you all know that, okay? And the reason why that is, is because you gotta join them. You have to join them. These people are trading millions and millions and millions of shares, billions of dollars. Don't think you're gonna outsmart them, okay? And only way you could really learn how to do it is the way I did it. You gotta come here in New York. You gotta get a job as a trader. You gotta take a series seven license, your trading license, all that.  Or you could do things on your own, okay? So the thing is, technology has changed. That's what it was like in the past. Now today, you don't gotta be there. You could do this anywhere around the world. You don't have to get a job anymore but there's a couple of things you do need to know that to be successful. First of all, you can't trade by yourself, okay? It's almost impossible.  You can't open a restaurant just because you think you know how to cook, okay? You need a manager. You need waiters. You need a front office girl. You need a bookkeeper. You need a bartender. You know what I mean? There's nothing you could do all yourself. You could try, you know? You could try, but eventually you're gonna see, you know what, maybe I should surround myself or could, to help me. But also very importantly, you need people to trade like you and that are successful. And that's what I learned. So I've been featured all over on, you know, just like I said, I'm doing training with NASDAQ. You've probably seen me on their shows several times. I've been all over on doing speakings, but the thing is this, being a good speaker does not make you money, okay? What you're here to do is you need to see if we could teach you how to do it and think for yourself. So, you know, that's the beauty of it. And also, you know, once again, author of a book, How to Beat Market Make is their own game. And by the way, at the end of this presentation, I don't want you to go to Amazon and buy it. I'm gonna give it to you for free so you definitely don't wanna go anywhere. So, but this isn't about me, okay? This is about you.  I looked you up on Google. I see you got a five-star rating. I looked you up on the Bed of Business Bureau. You got an A-plus rating. You're endorsed by the brokerage firm, but that doesn't make me money. My question, you need to say, could Fausto teach you how to make money, all right? So, the most important thing you're gonna take away is that you need to learn how to be consistency of trading in today's markets. And what most people do is they constantly look backwards, okay? So imagine driving a car, all right? Looking through your viewer mirror. How did that work out for you? Well, that's what you're doing in the market. That's what most traders do. They're looking at indicators. They're looking at charts. They keep looking, oh, where was the stock before? Maybe this is support. Maybe this is a resistance. It does not work that way. You cannot have a support resistance levels. You can use an indicator what happened in the past because it's not always indicative of the future.  Could that happen? But the exit says it's open. That's what the GPS says. We're gonna crash into that wall. You know what I mean? I know it sounds pretty ridiculous and with these metaphors, but it's really the truth. You need to know those same people that were in the past are they there in the future? Because the same people that are there in the future are the ones that committed in the past. If they're not there in the future, guess what?  So most indicators and most forecasts are based on historical data and you're not here to do that. Today's indicators, how many are there out there? About 10, about 100, they're thousands. And you're like, which one did I choose from? Who do I go through? Well, listen, which is the right indicator to use? I'm gonna tell you right now. Let's look at what we're looking at right now. Okay, let's look at this stock right here. I have a question for all of you. All right, let me see if my poll questions are up here. Let me see. Okay, here we go. All right, I'm gonna do a poll. Is this stock going up or going down? What do you guys think? Just wanna answer somebody really quick.  You're probably better off quitting. I'm just being very dead honest with you. We put a poll up there. Tell me, is the stock going up or going down? All right, I'm gonna end the poll. I'm gonna share the results. So 87% of you say it's going up. 13% of you going down. First of all, I don't even know what makes you think it's going down. The trend looks like it's going higher and what data do you have that tells me it's gonna go lower? I'm looking at the trend, but this is not the answer. The answer I'm looking for is this. Did you need an indicator to tell you that? Did you need all this stuff, all this fancy Bolger bands and the moving averages and the paint bars and all that stuff? Did you need that? Right, Lewis, did you need it? No, you didn't need it, Lewis. What about you? Albert and Ann and Bill, Brad, Charles, did you need it? It looks like to me like a couple of, I feel like I'm blending a spaceship right here. Listen, don't get greedy. You have to understand something. Technical analysis paralysis is what we say, but I'm gonna teach you the KISS method, how to keep it very, very simple. And indicators you have to understand are laggers. That's where it comes into. It doesn't tell you where the future is. It only tell you what happened with certain pasts and indicators, if you don't know this, are were invented by mathematicians. Now, who do you wanna learn from? A mathematician or do you wanna learn from traders? So how can we see the future? The answer is the first question I asked you. What makes a stock move in the first place? So let me see how old you answered this question. What makes anything a stock move? Henry says volume. Anybody else? Louis says buyers. Come on traders, don't be shy, please.  I'm here to look for serious traders I wanna learn. You just answer, if you don't know the answer, just give me a question mark. Orders, volume. Monti says BS, which is not the BS I'm talking about. I think it's buyers and sellers. But anyway, if you said supply and demand, you're only getting a partial of the credit, okay? So what stocks basically move on is with volume and specifically big orders. That's what we're gonna focus on. So when we're going out there, we're gonna look for these big orders, the same people that you see on the floor of the exchange. What are those guys doing? What are they looking at? What are they focusing on? They're trading the same stocks that you're trading and the ones that you're trading, you need to know where they are. So to find these orders, we need to use a couple of specific tools. And these are the tools we're gonna focus on. Level one, level two, level three and level four. Those are the four tools we're gonna talk about. So I wanna start off with level one and level two. Now this is where we're gonna start getting very into the style of Cybertrain University, all right? So the whole idea is first, you need to know where are the buyers, okay? Where are the sellers? What's the stock trading at? Forget about all that other fancy Nancy stuff that you get. Those little heat maps and those, you know, newsletters, forget about that stuff right now. Right now you need to know someone tells you to buy a stock. What's the first thing you do? You wanna see what the stock is trading at, right? So level one gives you that basic data. It tells you, hold on, I'm gonna get my crayons out here. Get my crayons, just follow along. There we go. All right, there's my little pointer. So level one is basically you can get that on anything, your phone, you watch it on TV. It just tells you specifically what the stock's trading at. Level two is basically was pretty big in the 90s. This is kinda telling you where the buyers are, where the sellers are and at what price. So it's, you know, in layman terms, you know, what you have right here, I'll kind of explain it. The left of the buyers, the right of the sellers, that's the bid, that's the ask. These are all brokerage firms and exchanges. The price they wanna buy for at that exchange and how many shares. Everything there is multiplied by a hundred. Whoever wants to buy it for the most amount of money is up on top. Whoever wants to buy for less money is down at the bottom. It's pretty self-explanatory. The problem with this is it doesn't show you all the data. Now remember what I just asked you just about a couple of minutes ago. How do stocks go up and go down? Buyers and sellers. How do options go up and down? Buyers and sellers.  How do cars go up? How does inflation work? Buyers and sellers. It's all about you buy a house. Why does the value go up? Buyers and sellers. You don't need an indicator to tell you, oh, the house is for sale. Let me go check a Fibonacci or a Bolger Band. Let me see if it's really time to buy that house. You ever hear that? I mean, it sounds pretty ridiculous, but it's almost makes the same. It makes sense. So let me explain to you what we're gonna see here. All right? So let me just clear this out. What you really need to trade and understand what's going on is something called level three. Now I wanna just do another poll right here and I wanna find out, does anyone here have level three or NASDAQ total view? Let me just do a quick poll on that. All right, just waiting for everybody to answer the question. Turn off my camera. There we go. All right, so I'm gonna share the results and poll, share results. There we go. All right, so 74% of you don't have it. You got about 6% that I'm not sure and you got 21% that do have it. Now, this is where things are gonna get really, really shocking and you're gonna start saying like, why in the hell have I not been using this stuff?  All right, so let's talk a little bit about this. Level three, by the way, have any of you ever seen me on NASDAQ, NASDAQ trade talks with Jill? I'm usually on there every few weeks talking about strategies. Now listen, you have to understand something. NASDAQ, the exchange started this. Okay, now the New York Stock Exchange, all the other exchanges are doing things electronically. The most important thing that they want you to learn is not to trade, they want you to know how to trade. They want you to know how their system works.  And remember, NASDAQ, they don't need me. I mean, they're NASDAQ are crying out loud but they know the value that you need to know this because this is why 80, 90% of people fail. So let's talk a little bit about how it works. Here we have a chart, right? So stock right here, you could see it went from, I don't know, was that $25.30? Jill came all the way down to a price right around this 2280. When it got to 2280, then the stock went out there and it shot right up. It went from 2280 all the way to 2440. Now why did it start at 2290 right around there? It stopped right there and went up for one reason and one reason only. There was a 45,000 share buyer right around that price. Now look at it. You got buyers at 200, two shares, 1,000 shares, 100 shares, 45,000 if you waited from 2298 and literally about 10 cents lower, 15 cents lower, there was a very large, what we call iceberg order, a big block border right there at that price. And guess what? Once that happened, boom, stock went up. It's the only reason why the stock moved, only reason. Now let's look at this example. Stock goes from 1,430, shoots all the way up to around 1590, 1550, comes back down. Why did it stop at that price? Why didn't it go to $16, $17? Why didn't it stop at 15? Why did it continue? And then finally found the resistance levels. Hit that resistance, boom, came down. Why? Because there was a 93,000 share seller out there at 1550.  So just gotta understand something. How these stocks will up and go down? Supply and demand. That's how it goes up, supply and demand. So when it comes down to that, when you're trading today's markets, what makes supply and demand? If you go right to the exchange and you're looking at a stock and you wanna have a game plan and you wanna take a profit, you need to have that. Does NASDAQ level three work on indices? Yes, it does, absolutely. And by the way, this also works for options, futures, cryptocurrency, everything, all right? So let's go over a couple more examples. Looking at a stock, LCID, and it's moving lower, right? You haven't gone to a stock and it's going down. You're like, oh my God, it only 1460, it's going down. What's the first thing that comes to mind? What's the first thing that you think of? What's everybody do? I'm just curious. Get out, turn the TV on, hopefully gonna talk about it. What do you do? Open up the Wall Street Journal. You panic, Cheryl, okay? Well, what can prevent the stock from going lower? I think that's the question I should be asking. What is gonna stop the stock from going down? Where will stop Mary? Well, once again, what is it? Not support levels, Simon, nope. We need buyers. Remember when we started from the beginning? We need buyers. Now, I know everybody likes to read a chart. Do you see buyers on a chart? That's the $64,000 question. No, no. So there's only one other way. We gotta go and check on the exchange and see, okay, well, where's everybody else? So we need to follow the orders. That's what we need to do. Gonna bring up the stock symbol on LCID. And I noticed that once we get around 14 bucks and around $13.95, I got a 45,000 share buyer and I got a 17,000 share, 3,000, 4,000. Pretty substantial, right between $14 and 13.80. So in theory, what's gonna happen when we get to that price? Exactly. Boom, stock goes all the way up and shoots right up to back to 14.70.  I got to sell and as soon as you sell, you're like, it's the first thing comes to your mind. You gotta know how to panic. You gotta say, okay, listen, I got into a bad situation, okay? And I just have to look at where's everybody else? Is there any buyers coming up? And you know what?  That big loss that you could have had could have been a break even. So that's right, Sam.  That's where it comes down to it. Let's look at another example. Looking at Kohl's had a big pop in the stock right here, right, big pop in the morning, 2850, went to 3050, huge run up right in the middle of the day, okay? Now, what is gonna make the stock go down? Ask everybody that question. What's gonna make the stock go down? I like the way you think Mary and Bill and John. Sellers, but big sellers, right? Do you see a big seller on a chart?  I don't know what the hell we're looking at other than knowing the stock had a nice little push. Could the stock still go higher? Has that happened? More buyers, you see buyers in the truck, I don't see anybody, right? So what do we need to do? Once again, let's go back to this slide. You gotta follow the orders. So Kohl's had a 326,000 share seller right here at $31. Okay, huge seller. Look at all the buyers and sellers. You got 600, 495, 1300, 100s, 300 and 26,000 is sitting here. And yeah, by the way, that is a real order for some of you. And if you don't believe me, when I invite you all in my trading room, I'll find an order like that. And if you don't believe me, we'll use your money and I will bet you anything that you may have. And if you don't get executed on those 300,000 shares, I'll pay you whatever you want. You wanna take that bet? We'll do it. But I'll tell you one thing. I'm gonna kick out of when you own that amount of shares. If you got was at $9 million with your bank account to do it. So looking at the stock, boom, it did exactly what it's supposed to do. It went right to 31. And if you didn't get out in 31, now you're back down to 30. Not because of Fausto said so, not because of, you know, the president said so, not because of some, the CEO said so, it's because somebody's out there wanting to get a big block of order. Now let's think about this for seconds, fellow traders. How much smarter and better trading decisions if you can see those 300,000 share buyers and sellers out there? I mean, big difference. And this is what we call iceberg orders.  Why? Because the guy on top that was looking out didn't realize how deep that iceberg, it's not what's on top of the woods, what's on the bottom of the water. Now, my question to everyone here is this, is anybody confused? Mary-Lise has a good question. I guess, Alex, could you answer that question for her please? Thanks. Now, did you, now the other question for everybody else is this, is that hard? Is anyone confused? Anyone confused here? Doesn't seem complicated, right? It's almost like common sense. You know what it is, you know what? It is, it is common sense. And that's how the market works. So, and now when you start thinking about all that, all those hours and days and money that you spent on education, you like almost wanna throw it out the door. You know what I mean? What are you gonna do? How are you gonna deal with that? Well, you know what? Let me tell you something. If it was working, you probably wouldn't be here in the first place. That's the way I look at it.  You thought level three was great, wait till you see level four, okay? Now, level four is a very cool tool because this what it's gonna do, it's going, you gotta understand there are multiple exchanges.  And level, when you look at NASDAQ book viewer, you only see what's on the NASDAQ, but imagine you can aggregate the New York and NASDAQ together because there might be a big trader on a New York that might not be on the NASDAQ, but now it's aggregating it. And not only that, you could see how long he's been out there for, you could see if he got executed, you could see a lot of great stuff. So, let's look at this example right here, okay? So, what you're looking at right here is looking at, what is this, Carnival Cruise Lines. Stock went from $9 and went all the way down to a price around $870, big, big drop in a matter of about an hour, okay? Now, some of us would freak out, we wanna get out of the position, and like I can't afford to lose it and all of a sudden, you're like, oh wow, why is it holding here? It's not going any lower. Well, when you look over here on the right, you got 141,000 share buyer, 137,000 share buyer, another 127, I mean, it's always a pretty damn, a lot of buyers out there. And you could start seeing that the reason why it stopped right around this 870, now starting to go back up, right? Now, the question is this, did you need it indicated to tell you that? Fellow traders, yes or no? Do you need an indicator? Do you mean you didn't need a moving average? Do you mean you didn't need a sarcastic? Do you mean you didn't need a MACD? Do you need a Bolger bin? No, no, I didn't see, what did that tell me? I see a big, a bunch of swiggly lines.  I'm like, wow, you know what's so funny? Some, if you ever came to my office, I took all my kids' pictures that they took and I plastered it on my wall.  And they're like, yeah, it looks like a chart. And that's exactly what it looks like. So here's another good example. Stock goes up, right around 1030, you'll notice that a seller showed up for 40,000 shares. And he's been out there for about an hour and a half and he's not going anywhere. And look what ended up happening. By him showing up, look at it.  So that's basically what happens here. Now, question is, did you need an indicator to tell you that? I don't know. I think I could see clear here, and looking at this, all right? How about this one? Stock is going up, started around $11 at $12 since the start of this morning, all the way up to about 12 o'clock in the afternoon. There's 190, a 19,000 share seller, about 20,000. He's been out there. Did it ever get past 20 and it passed an hour and a half? It's actually starting to trend down lower and lower. Did you need an indicator to tell you that? No, oh no. Well, why are you using them then?  It does work for swing traders and long-term traders, but like for me personally, as a day trader, a short-term trader, short-term swing trader, doesn't really work. By the time all this stuff kicks in and you try to figure it out, it's pretty much already made its move. I'm going to talk about one more example. What's happened today, okay? Look at the stock chip, chip tanks, right? So chip tanks right here, and you could see it how it went from 1825 all the way to about right around 20 to came back down, right? What do you do? You follow all the orders. So let me show you what we have right here. Hold on. Right here, okay, hold on. Chip, I'm going to break up some live data here. This is chip, right here. Chip had a 219,000 share seller out there. Is everybody see that right there?  We're in from $18, went all the way up, came up to another big seller, which is not as red as this one, around 1950, and then all of a sudden, once it went to 1950 and took this, somewhat of a small trader, there is here you come up to this $20 resistance. Look what happened when it got close to 20. Right around here, which is right around 1980, once everybody knew he was out there, boom, the thing dropped down to $19, okay? I'm going to show you something even cooler. It's a long-term trade chart.  If you look right there, actually, let me get some arrows. Resistance, resistance, resistance. I mean, support, support, support, support. Resistance, resistance. Look what happened. Stock went from $14 all the way to 20. Oh, you think it's going to break out? Yeah, how did that work out for you? Why was there a 200,000 share seller out there? Cheryl says these charts are no joke. Listen, Cheryl, it's all about having a game plan. A lot of traders don't have a game plan when they get into a trade. Now, can we get past $20 and can we go to 26? Listen, charge point. Anyone, anybody know the news on this? Anybody know why the stock went up today? Everybody saw what President Biden did. He went to Michigan and he was talking about, he went over to all these electric cars and you know they're pushing electric cars and California's forcing people on electric cars. But then he also said, well, all these electric cars, we need charging stations. Yeah, great, you know what? We had a nice little move from there to 14 to 20. And you know what? It might go higher, but until someone takes out that 200,000 share seller, it's not going anywhere. And that's why everybody gets themselves in trouble and that's why people out there lose money because they don't have that game plan. So let me put this on the side and let's move on. So what do we do? We follow the orders, okay? Now, did I lose anybody? What do you mean by market depth? Both show quality in buyers and sellers? Well, the depth of the market is where are those big buyers and sellers? The depth is how much volatility will go before it gets to one price to the other. That's the depth of the market. Now, I'm going to repeat this. How about this? Did anybody learn anything? Anybody learn anything? Good. Well, that's the important part about it, right? You learned something. Listen, I only spoke and did about maybe 15 minutes of education for you, okay? Imagine if you get to see this for a whole week. Imagine, it wouldn't be great to say, okay, Fausto, I like what you're talking about, but could you show me where to find these stocks? Could you show me why they're going up? Could you show me a consistency? Listen, I don't like to use PowerPoints because they make you sound good. And they also could be manipulated. You know what I mean? So I'm not looking to manipulate anybody. I have a reputation. I don't like to tarnish it. But if you want to see it live, I want to invite every one of you to come join my trading room and see it happen. But not only that, I want you to see other traders that we've trained that taught this market and show you how they traded and see if they can think for themselves. But you have to know how to play the game. So another thing that's very risky people make is that they don't want to take a loss and they want to hold positions overnight. They do day trading because they like the story and then they day trading, then you make it to a swing trade and so on. This is how 90% of the traders fail. And if I'm here, you are trying to get into a business where you have such a huge failure rate and but you still want to do it because you don't believe that you're going to be part of that 90%. Unfortunately, a lot of you will. Why? Because there are some of you here that are looking for and don't take this in the wrong way. Listen, I'm very, I'm very brash but I'm being very honest. I'm a little old fashioned.  Some of you want to be professional webinar takers. You want to listen to all these speakers. Listen, I'm going to give you a good metaphor that is basically something that we all probably were there once before. Anyone ever try to lose weight? Anybody ever try to lose weight? Right? How many of us? All of us, right? We all try to, you know, just get to shape whatever it is, right? I'm going to tell you the perfect recipe, how to lose weight, okay? Perfect recipe. Anthony, you do your 17th diet. Every, if they're reading every book, after buying every drug, whatever, even if you buy pills, every shortcut, you know how you lose weight?   Now, first thing people say, oh, that's a lot of money, you know? Well, when you watch these great actors on TV and like, my God, why do they have such great bodies and why are they in such a great shape and they're all in good moods and, listen, it's their job. And guess what? This is your job. This is your job, okay? If Sam says quit eating and you'll lose weight. Well, that's kind of tough thing to do, Sam. It really is. If you love food like me, you know what, you could still eat, you just gotta be able to put the time in and do it right, you know what I'm saying? It's like saying, you don't wanna lose money in the market, don't trade.  You know what I mean? That's part of it. So the big thing is this, I've been doing this for over 30 years. I love what I do. I've changed people's lives, but I'm not here for me, I'm here for you because the way, the reason why I became a very good trader is because if I could teach traders and I could surround myself with good traders, they will, we could trade together in our trading room because you might see things that I might not see. So this is not the Fausto show, okay? This is all about you.   Maybe when I was 24 years old, okay, because I came from nothing, sharing a bed with a room with my brother and sister. My parents came here poor from Italy in first generation, but I've done very well because I've learned the American dream and the American dream is, you know what, you work hard, keep your nose clean, don't get out of trouble, surround yourself with successful people, you'll be very successful and my family and do too well.  You're like, you know, I kind of like doing this. Maybe you want to trade your IRA, you know what I mean? You know, Social Security's not paying enough. So the thing is this, I'm not a greedy person, okay? I've learned from my mistakes and the big thing is, what matters is having good goals in life. So the big thing is this, you have to learn how to trade successfully and you got to surround yourself with very successful traders. Now, what I'm looking to do is I want you to see the trust of my traders in the room that hopefully you could all be a part of it. And I'm not looking for you to go out of your way or inconvenience yourself. I want you just to step in and see what's going on. I mean, how cool would it be if you could take a trip and spend a day on the New York Stock Exchange? And just see and be able to talk to all those traders. I mean, this is the heart of Wall Street. Don't you want to see what they're doing and what you're not doing and why they're there and they're driving those nice cars and at those great restaurants and have those great apartments and watch those TV shows of the Hamptons and what are they doing that you can't do it? Well, here's your opportunity.   And I spend a lot of time with them. And the big thing is this, if I could teach you how to trade, you're gonna be able to teach your kids and grandkids, whatever it may be. Listen, there are a lot of schools out there that are on my students, my instructors, and it's great. But there are also a lot of people out there that are trying to hit you with some newsletter and stock picks and stuff like that. You gotta think for yourself. Listen, you can't always hire Uber and Lyft. You gotta drive the car yourself and that's what it's all about. So I want you to learn side by side of my team and this is basically what it's all about. Yeah, also too, Ralph, not going around bragging about hot chicks. This ain't the Wolf of Wall Street. Listen, I am going to be 51 years old on September 18th that's next week. I've been married for 25 years. I learned how to keep my nose clean. I love my wife and I personally think that if it wasn't that I had a good job and had the freedom to travel and take my family with me, I don't think I would probably last maybe five years. Okay, the whole idea is having a better life and a successful life and doing something we could spend more time with your family and that's what it's about. So I want to invite every one of you here to come into my trading room and you could see it run from 7.30 in the morning to 4.30. It's a live trading room. I started the first one. I know you're seeing a lot of the people out there where do you think they learned? Some of them are my students, okay?   You go into the original trading room that I started over 30 years ago. So we start the first audio broadcast around 9 a.m. We continue about 10.30 and then we come back in the afternoon from 2.30 to 4 o'clock. So we commentary at those times, a very big commitment for us, okay? But I'm also a businessman.  I'm here to trade. My instructors are here to trade. You see that they're answering your questions in a room. I'm looking to recruit traders that I could teach the art of trading because if I could teach you how to do it, we're all gonna make money together. So that's the way it works. It's a team effort. This is not a single, like a tennis match, all right? Every Tuesday we do traders talk, we do workshops, and we also have some other amazing changes that we've made. We set up an alert service. You could access the trading room through your phone. So no matter where you are, you will always be connected if you're looking to take this very seriously. So this is the beauty about running a trading room. Now, this is all I'm asking for is $9. Now, we have several hundred people in this room, okay? Is $9 sound like a lot to ask? Is that really, does that sound like a lot? $9, this is what you're gonna get for $9, okay? You are going to get basically live trading for a whole week in the trading room with your phone and also on the computer.  You're gonna get workshops. I'm gonna give you a workshop on how to trade on level three. I'm gonna give you a workshop on how to read time and sales. I'm gonna give you a workshop on entries and exits. Listen, I wanna make sure that if you're gonna take this seriously, all right, that this is something that you get. If you don't get it, it's okay. It's only costing you $9, that's it.  They're like, why would you want $9? This thing, I paid thousands for something like this. Listen, we're gonna make thousands, but I don't even know if you're qualified to be here, all right? I don't even know if this is something you can handle.  I can buy you in the room for free, you know? And I've done that. But I always find that when I do it for free, people don't take it seriously, you understand? There's just something about it that when you pay a dollar than paying nothing, I'd rather go to a concert and pay a dollar than go to a concert for free. You know, it just makes you more interested and more serious because the chances are, I was like, I was only free. I'll do it next time.  And by the way, this is what you're gonna get with this. Everything that you're gonna get, you're gonna get the level three time in sales, entries and exits. I'm also gonna give you the Trader's Work Library of hundreds of hours of strategies that we've done every Tuesday of questions and answers from Trader's, from winners, only down to losers. I'm also gonna throw in my book for free, okay? So you are gonna get access to a PDF of my book. So instead of going out there and paying $47 for it, you could if you want.  You wanna say the $47, it's only in the question nine. As a bonus, as a bonus, I'm gonna throw this in there on top of it. If you register right now, the first 20 people, I will even give you a big coaching class. That's right, I will actually talk to you on the phone. Now think about it, when's the last time you spoke to the owner? When's the last time you actually bought something from somebody and they're like, I think I have no time to talk to you. Listen, I need to interview you, all right? I need to make sure that if we're gonna move forward, that you're the right fit, and that you're not gonna put any danger of other traders, and also most importantly, it to yourself, all right? You first need to see if this system is, if this is something that you like, be able to see iceberg orders, be able to see traders that make money doing it, seeing how people control losses, all right? And then making sure you're doing your homework. If you're not that person, listen, then I don't even wanna teach you. I don't wanna train you because you know what?  I'll get the bad publicity. Oh yeah, I took Faso's class and I was in there and I lost, you know, thousands of dollars. I don't need to scrutiny. Listen, I'm gonna tell you something right now. You will never, ever meet somebody that has a five star rating on Google. You will never see anybody that has an A plus rating at the Better Business Bureau. You will never see a school that's endorsed by some of the biggest brokerage firms in the industry. Thinkorswim, Trade Station, I'm speaking to Schwab, Nasdaq. Okay? Nasdaq. When's the last, I know some of you here spend lots of money in education. You ever look at their credentials? They're like, you know, he's such a great trader. I assume every brokerage firm is hiring you because the brokerage firms feel like if you know what you're doing you'll be a client there forever.  So if you're gonna do your homework first, go out there, get that $9, sign up right now and see if everything that we talked about is really working. That's what we need to focus on because you know what? You don't wanna be involved in a stock like this and you own it and think like, oh my God, this is the greatest story. Biden says everyone's gotta buy electric cars and you know, you can't have electric cars without charging stations. It's like having gas cars without gas stations, right? So it's a great story and we know what's going on but you know what? And it might be a great story and it might go higher but you gotta get past that 218,000 shares all the first. And if you didn't see him and you bought at 20 and right now you were at that 1930 and you had a thousand shares, you're down 700 bucks, what are you gonna do? Tell Biden, oh, look what you did. You made me buy a stock because you're talking about this which like I said, could be a good story, it could be true but that guy didn't get the memo. He's still a seller, he's still out there. So until then you're trading blind. So go out there, make the investment, $9 one week trial and we'll give you access to it. There's the link and I posted a link. Oh, and another thing fellow traders. Another thing, we are not gonna charge you after seven days, anything. Some of you are already asking me, okay, what's it after a week? Are you gonna automatic bill me? No, I don't need that, okay? For what? For you to dispute during your credit card it ends up costing me triple than what I basically, it's not worth it. If you don't wanna move forward CTO, that's great. I'm not gonna be offended by it or anything else. I just wanna make sure that I wanna teach as many people as possible to scare the living hell out of you that before you go out there and learn and do it on your own that this is the real facts that's going on and see if it's really for you. Now, I just wanna go over a couple of, there's a bunch of people registering right now and I'd just like to do a couple of shout outs really quick right here. Where are we? There we go. So there are a couple of people that just registered. Oh, by the way, when you register, very important. There's a questionnaire that's gonna come right after. Please let us know a little bit about you. How'd you hear about us? Who's your broker? How much money are you trading with? Do you have level three access? I think it's like five or six questions. The more you help us, the more we can help you, okay? So there is basically a questionnaire, fill it out. Once you fill that out, you get access to books. The books are very fast free by the way, you'll like it. All right, any other questions? Do we have to get a new broker or how do we get it? Listen, Marco, that's a great question, okay? And you know what? We should share that question with that Marco wrote in there. Marco wrote this question in there. I wanna share it with everybody. You don't need a broker, you don't need anything. You know what you need? Nine dollars, okay? That's all you need.  You might love it.  Let's go out there and make sure that that car, let me basically just go for a road test.  Next thing you know, you get in the car like, holy crap, I gotta pay for this, I gotta pay for that, I gotta pay for this, and I shouldn't have a board in the first place. Let's go test drive and go from there. William, yes. If you can't start immediately and you wanna push it off when you talk to education advisor, all you have to do is tell them, this is starting date I wanna start at. But you know what? It's fresh in your mind right now. For some of you who say, you know what? I wanna do this, but I wanna wait three weeks. I'll register in three weeks. Just pay the nine dollars, get in our database, and then we'll push it off till three weeks for now. Cause I know if you don't do it now, you're probably never gonna do it, you know?  Let us send you the alerts in the meantime, and when you get everything else, and then we'll book your appointment then. All right, there's a bunch of people registering right now. Just wanna show you right here. These are all the registrations right now. You can see it. I'm seeing them coming in right now. Who we got here? David Johnson just got your registration. Robert Bush, I got your registration. Welcome aboard. What else we got here? Richard McLean got your registration. Jeffrey Sands got your registration. Welcome aboard. Nancy Malfink got your registration. I didn't see you, Ted. Ted, are you asking some great questions? Mark, I saw you were answering questions. Cheryl, I mean, you asking some great questions. Also, I didn't see you register. What are you waiting for? It's nine dollars. Listen, where are you gonna get the tools of having a 12-time world champion showing you how to stop losing money, okay? And you know what? There are some of you here that brought up and said, well, I'm trading futures or I'm trading options. Let me tell you something about those different exchanges. If you've been doing it for more than three months and you're just not seeing your making money or consistently just seeing a turn, you're wasting your time. You know, I had employees that I hired in the past and if I keep training them for three months, I can't keep paying them. They're gonna have to go. That's really what it comes down to it. And you know that too, owning a business or even just having colleagues that you work with.  How they keep them here? He's gonna get me in trouble or I might even get hurt. But you gotta start somewhere. So if it's not working for you, it's time to move on. Ted, Comstock, I just got your registration. Welcome aboard, William Katz, got your registration. Welcome aboard. Listen, very important traders. These are all the things that you're gonna be getting with the trading. Hold on a second. Excuse me, sorry about that.  So you're gonna get live trading for a whole week. Here's my little crayon right here. I just lost it. You get live trading for a whole week.  You're gonna get the workshops. You're going to get traders talk archives. You're gonna get the book. And you're also gonna get, if you're one of the lucky ones that logged in and the first 20, you're gonna get a free coaching class with me. If you can't get it with me, that's okay. You'll still talk to one of the other instructors. Listen, I only got X amount of hours I could share. You know, I'm really busy at the end of the week, but I'll make time for certain ones out there. All right, so definitely be the first out there to do it. Let me see what else we got. I've got a bunch of questions coming in here. Okay, Rich is doing a great job answering them. Thanks, Rich, for sharing it. You could start your child whenever you want. You could still, listen, if you can't start next week or whatever it is, let me tell you though, we're going the best times of the market. I mean, September, October, November, the best months. Shockingly, we had a great summer, which is unbelievable, unbelievable. Samuel Daya, I hope I said it right. I apologize. My name is also very difficult. I just got your registration. Mark, Mitchat, I got your registration. Welcome aboard. Please make sure you fill out that questionnaire. The better you fill it out, the better we can help you out. All right? Any other questions? $9 going once, going twice. Don't lose that opportunity. Listen, I just need to know the only thing it's there for is to weed out the rift rep. You've got to understand something. Do you want to be in a room of full 5,000 traders? Because I could do that. I've done it. And what is it? Chaos.  Do you want someone to take the time and surround yourself with good traders? All right?  But if you're looking for free stuff, listen. I get it. Just, you know what? I'm not interested. Because to go out there and train someone, to do it right is a lot of work. Listen, I'm still trying to get my son into Harvard University, and apparently they still want $70,000. I said, I don't understand. Why can't you go for free? I mean, like anything else. Listen, you don't want anything for free because that's all it's worth. You just want to make sure you get a good deal, great education, and a great product. If you're really looking to take this seriously, and you're all going to have to, if not now, eventually, because you see what's happened with the market. We're down 139 points. We were down almost 1,300 points the week before. You know what? Things are not looking too bright. Inflation is up almost 9% again. Powell's thinking about raising interest and another 75 basis points. Do you think this is over? And guess what? You could short the market, and that's what you got to do. Cheryl says I'm getting registered now. Well, no problem, Cheryl. Listen, you got to do it. You got to do it. You know what?  Well, do you see where the money is? Are they getting out? Are they jumping in?  I've been here and I've been buying in the dips since the market hit 35,000. Now we're at 30,000. We just broke 31. You know what I mean? We're still buying on the dips. Okay, listen, yeah, maybe 10, 20 years down the road. But why not just get a better deal? Right? Cheryl, about the recession situation. Listen, people made a lot of money in the recession. Cash is king. That's why I love day trading. We're always in cash. Yeah, all right, traders. Listen, I got to go. I'm sorry I went a little bit late. Hopefully more than worth it. But don't forget, when you register with the $9, book your appointment with the education advisor, get ready in the trading course, really be focused.  All right, and make sure you fill out that questionnaire. So I'd like to thank the staff for all of you being here. Hopefully you learned a lot with level three and level four. Hopefully you learned a little bit. I'm gonna teach you a little bit how to find those stocks. And hopefully this is something that you really wanna do and hopefully it'll change your career because let me tell you something. You know what? No one's gonna match your salary than doing this, but something you could lose your salary by not learning how to do it the right way. So let's do it the right way, not the wrong way. And the right way is let's find out if it's for us or not before we go out there and make our next trade. So good luck everyone, happy trading. Look forward to seeing every single one of you in the room.  And if it works out, it could be the best investment you ever made. Thanks everybody for listening and I'll see you all in the trading room.


From Copenhagen, Denmark, it's theCUBE. Covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe 2018. Brought to you by the CloudNative Computing Foundation and its ecosystem partners. Hello everyone, welcome back. This is theCUBE's exclusive coverage of KubeCon 2018 in Europe, part of the CNCF CloudNative Computing Foundation part of the Linux Foundation. I'm John Furrier with my co-host Lauren Cooney. Our next guest is Dirk Hundell, Vice President, Chief Open Source Officer for VMware. Great to see you, Kube alumni, welcome back. Thank you, good to be here. So you had a keynote, smashing success today on stage, about open source, all five minutes of it, congratulations. Take a minute to explain. I have some specific questions on VMware and Office of the CTO, how you guys are working on some really interesting things. But first, take a minute to explain the VMware approach to open source that you're leading. What's the architecture of it? How is it organized? Can you take a minute to explain the VMware? So we use open source components in literally every single one of our products and we have a structure where each of the users engage in open source in the components that they're using in projects that are related to their business and we have a central organization that sits in the office of the CTO that I run, so the open source program office, which has much more of a focus of pure open source work, focused on upstream, focused on the problems that the community sees, much more than something that is product driven. I also own the whole compliance work that everyone needs to do to make sure that you follow the licenses and all that, but fundamentally the balance between having the central organization that has maybe the center of expertise and has people who do open source and nothing but open source, and on the other hand, bringing that expertise into the BU, bringing it closer to the products and engaging across the company. I mean we have more than 7,000 software engineers across the company and we want every single one of them to be mindful and understanding of how open source works and how we are engaged in this space. And how many people, just some stats can you share by the numbers, how many people on the teams, R&D, is also in the CTO office, how many folks on your team, roughly speaking? So I have currently, I want to say 20 or so people under me, but across the company it's a lot more, there are several hundred people who are in their daily work engaged with open source all the time. So your team centralized in the business units? No, that's great, I was going to say, what does it look like for people that want to contribute code that aren't on your team? Is there a process that's pretty easy to go through or can they just put it on GitHub? Or you know, we would all like that, but. Yeah, so we have an internal tool that we've developed where they simply can request to contribute to an existing project and it goes through a very quick review. And depending on the topic, this is typically a two-day turnaround time where they get approval from the BUVP and from me. And if you want to open source a project, so if you have something internally that you've done that you want to bring out into the community, it's a little more complicated with naming and branding and whatnot. A lot more people need to nod basically, but it still takes usually a couple of weeks and it goes through. But it's an automated process. It is driven by a PM, out of my organization. That's great. And it tries to make it really, really easy. One of my big goals joining VMBA was to remove friction out of this process and to encourage people to engage with the projects that are out there, but also for us to bring software into the open that we've developed as, for example, internal tools and make them useful for other people. Definitely. I think that's great. You mentioned open source models about people. Can you elaborate on that? Because I think this is an important point we were talking about before we came on about that role of the people. Well, so open source is, people think of this as a software development methodology and it is, but fundamentally it's a social phenomenon. It's this experiment of saying the way we do our work is based on relationships. It's based on trust. So I trust you that you've reviewed this code and I take that code that you've reviewed. I know that you are the expert in this area, so if I make changes in this area, I'll send them to you and ask you for your review. It's all about relationships and these relationships are between people, not between companies. So in so many ways, the role travels with the person and not with the company. And we have seen this in many cases where people move from company to company, but the work, their influence, the role comes with them. So it's very much empowering for the engineers, but it's also from a purely human perspective, an engagement where it's not just about the code that you write, but it's about how you treat people, how you engage with them. This is why conferences like this are so wonderful. There are 4,000 people here, or four and a half thousand people here.  And this social aspect of this, for an introvert like myself, is at the same time a little scary, but also it's super exciting because it is people who are driving this industry. The face-to-face connections really make a difference on the community. I think it's the community, I mean, the community always comes first, I think. And I will say this, it's you build a community, you don't launch one. And I think that's absolutely critical. And I think, can you talk about some of the changes in mentality that you're working with across VMware right now with getting that community first sort of thing moving? Well, so, I mean, VMware is a very engineering-centric organization. We are driven, we're founded by engineers and driven by engineers. I mean, Pat Gelsing, our CEO, is an engineer. And so the underlying ethos of contribution and of trying to fix problems, and if you see something, you go and fix it, that is something that has always been there at VMware. But what I've been trying to bring into VMware is much more of an upstream focus and understanding of it's not just important that you understand the technology well and you use it well, but also that you contribute back and that you are seen as playing a big role in this industry. And if you look at the impact that VMware has had in the broader open-source community and how we have shifted our approach to being part of this over the last two years, I think it's been extremely successful. And you can see this with our footprint here, how many talks we have here and how much presence we have here. I think there's 70 VMware employees at Cube Condos here. It's now cultural. It's a tier one, obviously a tier one role, not tier two when we were growing up in the industry, but it's part of the business, software-defined infrastructure, software's taking over the world, as Mark Andreessen said, is happening. And open-source is there powering it. So I have to ask you the question that would be on my mind if I'm thinking about going all in as a company, if I'm an enterprise, say, you know what, I like this approach, I'm going to go all in. Complete commitment. What's the best practice? What's your advice? Because this is something that people are talking about doing, not just putting the toe in the water, going all in and committing to an open-source business model with their company. What's your advice for shepherding that process, cultural ethos, what's your take? It starts with language. It starts with how you talk about what you're doing. I hear a lot of people saying things like, oh, I consume open-source. Well, bugs me because you consume a commodity. You consume electricity. You don't care where it comes from. It's just a plug in the wall, whatever, right? Open-source is always around about the people. It's always about how do people work? How do they think about security, about releases, about maintenance? What's their workflow? And you can't just consume an open-source component. You need to engage with them. You need to understand how their work affects your work. And so my recommendation is always start with your own language. Start with the approach that you're taking when you're talking about all this. And then figure out where are you using it? How are you using it? What are the changes that you've made to the components that you're using? How about contributing those changes back? That's a very simple first step to engage. And it's actually a step that makes total business sense because if you have your private branches, your private patches, the next time the upstream project goes to a new release, you need to port these changes. That costs money. So it's actually cheaper to simply contribute them back and have them maintained by the project and you can use upstream or you have a minimum set of small adjustments that don't make sense to return to the community. And this is really how you get your toe into the water because now you're not just a user of this, you're engaged, you're contributing. You're operationalizing your business. Yes, you are. And then the next step is thinking about what are my internal tool sets that maybe I'm not my core product, but are the things that we build to build the product as part of our workflow. What of those could be useful to the broader community? So at VMware, for example, we built a software design system. It's called Clarity and you can use it to create Angular-based JavaScript UIs. So we use this for all of our products. We made this tool, an open source tool and it's a massively successful project, has weekly releases, has a ton of users, a very, very active community. And it's one of those cases where you take something that isn't the core of your business but you are earning your chops in the community. And take it one step at a time. It's the trust relationship you're building. That is very much the trust relationship. And it's this track record that you're building of not only doing something, oh, here's this old product and I'll open source it and then I walk away. So we call this dump and run, right? You throw it over the wall, it's now open source and then you say customer, you're on your own because it's now open source. Yeah, it's a band and no one's paying attention. That's a terrible model. But a very good model is one where you think about creating these relationships and creating a track record of being there every week, looking at the bug reports, looking at the issues, looking at the pull requests and engaging with the people out there. And the value that this creates, the amount of value that you're getting from your outside contributor, very quickly outweighs the additional cost that it takes to get this IP clean and release and all that. Then there's documentation and documentation is a tremendous amount of heavy lifting on the inside of a company. But if you can spread it over an open source and product that you have, it's great and it's a really good way for people to start out in open source, I find. And you just said open source product, so this is one of those things. So project. Yeah, this is something that I think is where we come back to language being so important. I always talk to the folks internally about this distinction. What is the open source project? What is it what the community does? What lives on GitHub or what lives in Europe and the public side of this? And then what is your product that is based on this project? And in your thinking, always keep these two separate. Understand that everything that happens in the project is what is publicly available and what is done in conjunction with your community. With the team. Versus your product that focuses on how does a customer use this? Because open source projects in and of themselves are typically built by developers for developers. And the end user has actually different needs. And this is where the business model comes in and that's kind of closing the question that you just asked. Because the value that the company is providing this space is the understanding of the customer needs and is the ability to take something that is creating enormous and impressive innovation which is the community and taking this to a place where then someone can use it in production. Where it scales, where it's secure, where it has day one and day two operationalization, where it has strong documentation. There is a support number you can call. All these things that a customer needs and that an open source project in by themselves is unlikely to create. It's like putting money in the bank. You have a trend, you know, you can't just take money out of the bank. You got to deposit goodwill. The give get is part of that project and you're saying make the product focused on the customer problem. Absolutely. My question is, are you talking kind of about a services wrapper that you put around it and maybe a couple additional features or, you know, in part or what are you actually kind of just to get to the crux of it? There are many different ways, many different business models around open source. For us, we are still a enterprise software company. So open source generally provides components of what we do. It may be the API that the customer is asking for. So today, Kubernetes is a set of APIs that a lot of people want to use as their way to provide a container service for the orchestration, right? But what is the underlying infrastructure?  How do you manage your individual nodes? How do you deal with internal billing so that you can build your data center time to your departments? And all these operational aspects are things that we are trying to solve with our products, but we offer to the customer an open source-based API. So that's where our business value lies fundamentally.  And I think what you're saying is if you have a project, you got to bring something to the table, not just extract, it's a taker. If you're just taking all the time, this is not a good trust relationship building. That's what I hear you're saying. And you will also not be successful because your customer needs, as your customers are coming to you and they're running into issues, you need to be able to address those issues which means you need to be a productive part of that community. You need to have the in-depth understanding to then help them. You need to be genuine. I've seen people do things like they couldn't get a business model going, so they're saying, oh, we're just going to open source it and hope that miracle happens. And that's not really that way. I mean, people do open source for the right reasons to bring code to the table, but you're saying nurturing that community project is a for all kind of thing. Fundamentally, I always think there are so many brilliant developers in these communities. And if you go into these communities with the assumption that you can learn something from the other developers, you can learn something from the other companies that are involved, and then you can contribute the areas where you are strong, where you have your core knowledge and you wrap this into a product that provides value for your customers, everyone wins. The customer wins. It's a good way to think about community wins, you win. So if you're out there thinking about it, thinking about your core competency and what you want to open source, you got a good fit. Okay, what's new for you? You're diving, you're having scuba diver. We talked about that last time you were on the cube. What's new? What's new with you? I haven't been diving. Actually, I drove up to the hoodsport to dive in 48 degrees Fahrenheit water because I haven't been in the water for so long. My next trip is going to be to Okinawa, which is a lot warmer than that. No, the work keeps me busy. So not as much scuba diving as I would want, but we've been very busy. We've been pushing a lot more contributions to a much larger set of projects. My team has been growing, so we've been actively hiring. And we are developing a second generation internal set of processes to deal with all these questions you asked about earlier of how to make sure that you know where you contribute, how you contribute, which components you use. So we are revamping our internal process around this. And it's keeping us very busy. But I have to say, especially if you look at this conference here, the success is really very rewarding. We have so many more people actively engaged and recognized in the community as key contributors. It's been a very, very successful year since last we talked. It's awesome. Well, thanks for your leadership at VMware. We love the KubeCon. We love the Linux Foundation. It's done amazing work. CNCF has just exploded with success. And it's a result of the trend as everyone's friend, which is cloud computing and software-defined everything. So, VMware, thanks for coming on DIRT. Appreciate it. Live coverage here in Copenhagen, Denmark. This is theCUBE. I'm John Furrier. Lauren Cooney co-hosting with me this week. And we'll be back with more. Stay with us after this short break.


What's good, Joshua boros back again with another video before we get into this I want to wish y'all Merry Christmas and a happy holidays. Hopefully you guys are enjoying yourselves this holiday season. So This video is uh, it's very important to me I wanted to make this video because uh, I Want to really be able to like I guess you can say show my appreciation for the homie dub Dub is been like a brother to me I've known him since we were both in middle school, man And we haven't always seen eye-to-eye, but he has always supported me and I I've always supported him as well Even when we you know at one point lost contact with each other But we was able to you know, rekindle our friendship in the sense of we would never have beef We just went our separate ways and once we have linked up like around 2016 the rest was history so there has been a particular gift that I've always wanted to be able to get dub and I just had to find the time and the money to be able to do it and This year I was able to accomplish that now for those who don't know this jacket I got on this lovely jacket I got on dub got this for me last year and I don't get to wear this jacket much because you know Living Houston, Texas. It doesn't get cold cold much But when it does I always am looking forward to pulling this out because it's easily my favorite jacket in my Closet right now. I love this jacket and it means a lot to me and he got this for me for Christmas last year So I said if I'm able to get what I'm trying to get for him Sometime soon. I'm gonna do it and that's what happened this year. So for all my sneaker heads You'll probably understand The shoe I'm talking about that I'm that I got him for Christmas But for those who don't know there's a pair of Jordans that dub has wanted for a very long time I think he originally had them when they came out a long long time ago They the original pair of shoes came out in 2002 and then they re-retro the game they came out again in 2012 And I believe dub was able to get him when he was a little kid I think these may have been his first pair of Jordans These are the Air Jordan nines the cool grays man the cool gray Air Jordan nines I've had me a pair in of the 2012 version and it's funny because when me and him linked up again I had those shoes on he's a bra. I always wanted these those. I haven't had them since I was a kid Man, I always been I'm sad. I missed out on him and he's been telling he's been saying that for a long time so Once again, they haven't came out the last time since 2012 the pair I have was completely torn up I only I think I end up throwing them throwing them away at one point and me and dub don't wear the same size So I'm like, all right cool. Let me see if I can go ahead and find a pair of cool gray Nines now I had to hit up eBay I had to hit up some other websites, but ultimately I went to eBay and one thing I do it like about eBay now is That they they have a Authentic I can't even say it authentication check So you don't immediately get the shoe like you used to back in the day They send the shoe to a separate Site where they check to make sure it's real and then they send it to you So I ordered these shoes at the beginning of November when I got paid from YouTube I made sure I got these shoes now at the time. I want to say I paid close to like 480 it was like $480, but I didn't care if it was $500 I wanted to make sure I was able to get him this pair and what makes this Probably, I guess you can say a bigger deal is these are dead stock now sneak your hands know what dead stock means But for those who don't know dead stock means the shoes never been worn So literally whoever bought them shoes at the time they never want or what not now That's can be a good thing and the bad thing the good thing Obviously the shoe still looks good like it like the first day it came out The bad thing is if you don't wear your shoes a lot of times, especially if they're a 10 10 plus year old shoe Considerably, you know, it could it can mess up the quality of the shoe The shoe can end up getting cracked as soon as you put them on your feet and because you know It hasn't been introduced to outside elements So it's always good if you have some shoes to wear them now that you got the detail on the shoe I wish I could show you guys in person, but I actually took time To wrap up the Shoes so I can't really show you on camera in person But you know you can see the images and stuff like that put on the screen so Shoes has a lot of sentimental value for dub. I know this to be true and my goal is to Get him to potentially tear up if I can get him tear up that will be awesome tears of joy If not, I know he's gonna love these and the thing is he doesn't know I'm giving him the gift today I'm filming this the day before Christmas Eve. He's having a little get-together at his crib at his crib Like a little meeting of Christmas gathering. So he doesn't know I'm bringing him over I won't be able to give him the gift on Christmas Day or Christmas Eve because I got stuff to take care of He's gonna be with the in-laws and family. So this will probably be the only chance I can give him the gift. He doesn't know what it is. I've only told him This is something that he's really gonna enjoy something that he's really gonna love So I wanted to film this before I get over there and you guys get to see his initial reaction And hopefully you do see this video. I just want to say before we get there Hey, man, I appreciate you dub for always supporting me. It's we always give each other You know the best gifts we possibly can each year. It's not about a competition to outdo each other It's all about just you know making sure that that person know how much I appreciate them for all that they've done For me these my entire life, you know, so he's always had my back I'm always have his so I want to make sure this Christmas is something he'll always remember And I know these are the shoes that he's always wanted since he was a little kid He hasn't had him since like oh too and now he's gonna be able to get him again a fresh pair never been worn And I think he's gonna enjoy this. So yeah Let's go ahead and surprise the homie with his With his his pair of shoes that he wouldn't even expect him to get this year, man. I'll see you guys there Oh All right Let me turn it around. All right That's it Open it know me More You the world as soon as possible just to make sure that everything goes as you don't know these are my first pair of Jordan's ever ever ever got so I was always pushing to walk in them but there you go all about the put these in on the little rotator in our land I feel like it did when I was a kid man the bottom that the 1994 the bottom all the new designs never been worn yeah what you doing on your channel? yep I guess it's your turn oh it's my turn? oh boy yeah they have to ship it to the place to make sure everything checks out and I found that the best price I could possibly get for a dead stock no that's why I never bought them the true reason why he never bought them lazy gents because you look at that price you're like damn but nah man they've only been retro twice you have a lot of sentimental value I was like man a lot of sentimental value I knew I had to make sure I was able to get them you know that's what happens there actually I'm not big on material things but it's about the counts when it comes to stuff like that look at that look how the lighting is just like I said make sure you wear them get you know let the oxygen hit them you know what I'm saying hahaha you're the only one I know right now that has some new gray lines you want to go get his?

When the Scottish Parliament makes laws it wants to hear from the people those laws affect. The Equality and Human Rights Committee is looking at the Age of Criminal Responsibility Scotland Bill. This bill makes changes to how young people are treated by the law and so the committee wants to hear the views of young people. Your views will help the committee make recommendations to the Scottish Parliament on the bill. Would you like to discuss this with young people? We've made a toolkit you may find useful. Download it from our website and use the form we've included ..to report the views back to the committee. This class has been using the toolkit to have it to be. I think it was beneficial to the children because for us it's really important to make sure that learning is relevant. And for them to actually be taking part in the committee stage of a bill where their evidence will go to members of the parliament... ..and will be considered is really important because then it means that what they're learning is relevant and important to them. I enjoyed it because we got to like be kind of like the people in the parliament. I liked that I could hear what other people were thinking. Are you interested in helping the committee come to its decisions on the bill? Download our toolkit and get in touch with the committee.
