what's up guys what's going on so I heard that Amazon had a huge stock split today let's check that out and see how we can make money from that wow huge pop to 3100 came back down to 2969 it's pretty crazy how's everybody's day going Jesus man this corbata we lent this hey what's up Sean how's it Amazon stock splits with record date of May 27th so that's about so right now it's March night the split is gonna be May 27th that's gonna be the last Friday of May very interesting very interesting so about two months away and we'll be against the adjusted apps of June 6th the other very interesting thing that they said is that um goddamn Seeking Alpha I hate you I hate you oh my god why there's so many Seeking Alpha links I hate that I swear Seeking Alpha I hate that company god dang good news I have PTSD from the Google splits bro why why what's up nasty me what's going on well I mean you remember the news right when we heard about the Google split I don't know if you were with us that day when we first looked at it I remember looking at the Google split and then at the end of the stream as I was reading it and I realized the Google split wasn't for like four or five months I was like oh it was like it went from excitement to to the biggest disappointment ever because most splits most stocks built it usually pretty quickly but that one it's like it was like so far away you know it was just dumb man but um this Amazon split though I think this is gonna be really really interesting and this has really really good potential but at the same time at the same time Amazon is one of those stocks that it is extremely extremely hard to play in terms of in terms of options in terms of shares you know it just costs so much money because the stock is just so expensive right and so if they do a 20 to one split it's gonna be extremely juicy you know just think about it like let's say it goes like $4,000 as we have been waiting for right divided by 20 right that means we'll be able to get shares for freakin $200 right instead of paying $4,000 piece that is gonna be extremely extremely sexy but I think what really really makes this split really sexy is the fact that so this is on March 9th the board director also authorized the company to we purchase up to $10 billion dollars of the company's stock rate so the companies are 1.38 trillion 10 billion of 1.3 trillion is a lot you know hearts is really say but what this does allow is that it is gonna it is gonna allow the company to buy back the stock if the stock drops a lot which means there is going to be a floor for the Amazon stock you know whereas if there was no we purchase program then there's no floor that means like if things are really really ugly nobody's gonna come in and buy it at least when this comes out you know Amazon could be like yo worst case if the stock drops we got this you know we're gonna buy up ourselves Amazon wait for split to buy so this that's why I want to do this session I want to go over a few ways on how we could potentially play this and make money from this and and one of the ways is not buying Amazon but buying Home Depot does that make sense does that even make sense why double seven saying buy Home Depot instead of Amazon has this dude gone on crack I don't know I'll explain that in a second though I'll explain it a little bit but as far as as far as the split though for some of you that aren't sure why a stock split is extremely bullish or you know why is sexy to see a stock split or why why I'm always extremely bullish about it and always like chanting stocks split stocks split stocks split the reason behind it is that not because not because it's fundamentally good in any way because honestly at the end of the day like nothing changes right so when Amazon does a stock split there's nothing that changes it fundamentally so to a certain extent you know it's not kind of like it's not gonna dilute the shares or it's not gonna limit any shares so nothing on that sense change however however as I always mentioned before that the stock market is a supply and demand market so supplying demand meaning the stock is a supply and we the consumers are the demand rate the buyers and stuff so there's a sell sign there's a buy side and when they do a stock split what that does is that it makes it more attractive for people to invest in the company now there's always there's they could always be this argument that oh you know fractional and things like that you know and mathematically yeah yeah you can buy fractional shares yeah fractional share sounds like reasonable all that stuff but think of it this way right 20 to 1 that's like that's like that's like if you had you know one wife and now you can suddenly have 20 wives bro what would you want would you want you know like one wife or 20 wives now somebody else can sit here argue oh what if what if you could have point two of a wife like what the hell is point two of a wife you know what's point to a girlfriend I don't know man point to an arm I don't know I don't know what point to is point to arm I don't know what that means you know but when you say 20 to 1 like like one wife and but you know but you can get 20 wives like yeah that's a big difference man you know it's like it's like when you're growing vegetable and your vegetable just multiplies everything just sounds good to like if you have a tree you have an apple tree and then now your apple tree is making apples for you you know one apple became 20 apples hell yeah you know that sounds good but when you talk about fractional apples I don't know what that means man that means I can only a little bit apple nobody want to own a little bit of apple you know rather buy like a whole plant so it just things just sound better better as a whole you know in that sense but the other thing is people that do like data gang the people that are selling options people that just want to own a hundred shares or something and wheel the stock you know our guys like Hawaiian beefy or Mr. 2% or even Daniel or Spendo you know whoever our data gang players are they're gonna they could potentially benefit from this if they have enough money to buy like 200 you know $200 stock 100 shares of it they could potentially wheel the stock and collect unlimited premium so that's also another huge benefit of why buyers and and people would enjoy you know seeing a huge stock like this split the other thing could also be that not just like not just the other two factors of how the split could look attractive it could also lower the price point to a certain extent that it could potentially go into the Dow industrial the job Dow Joe index you know think about that you know you know how we always talk about so there's a few times I'm not sure you guys notice if you guys been around long enough to notice that when a stock gets added to the S&P 500 index that means the the managers have to buy up and that naturally drives the stock price up right so if Amazon split and it becomes like two three hundred dollars they could potentially add that into the Dow Jones index and that could increase exposure to Amazon stock that would mean more people buying the stock and that could also potentially drive the stock up as well so I think that's another interesting factor there's there's probably even more interesting factors than that but those are a few that I can think of the other thing is we can also look back at history of how stocks but then have you know perform so let's take a look at some of the famous ones you pull up the algo give me a second dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner dinner so I think one of the ones that people remember a lot was um was um Tesla right so remember when Tesla had the stock split in 2020 August 2020 literally carry the market yo so they announced the split during earnings right here so they announced the split on earnings on July 20 or July 19 I feel like somewhere around that time man it was pretty close to my birthday so they announced the split and then the company didn't move nowhere for a while so we just sat it sat there and wait for buying opportunity and then by August 12th it was like time to go so starting morning it went from you know all the way from 276 to as high as $500 so that's almost like 100% run over there right and then naturally it came back down after the stock has split over here this is a very common theme usually after the stock split you know people get extra shares and they'll sell some off you know because now they suddenly have so much shares so that that happens sometimes so the best time to buy is sometime between the announcement and before it splits and then the other best time to buy is after splits and I had a huge pullback so those are some good times Tesla is an example another example is Apple so Apple announced the stock split on July 30th 2020 and the stock had a huge move people are extremely bullish people love Apple it was a good stock and I would anticipate the same and people love Amazon as well so I don't see why like people wouldn't buy up so when Apple announced the split it was trading around $94 and then it ran as high as 138 so about 40 40 45 46 dollar run give or take in that range and then after split it pulled back a little bit and just it's traded sideways for quite a while but overall it's still up from the lows of that time so another another point here is that buy between when announcement and before and sell before it completes the split so that's the ideal scenario or you can sell premium if you buy enough shares you can sell premium against it as well so those are two popular ones TTD was another one that split over here announcement over here and then ran after the split a little bit so those are some great examples go back to Amazon's take a look at the Amazon chart baby oh baby actually Amazon almost looks bearish no it is bearish it was bearish I actually shorted Amazon my puts a dunzo man I was actually I was actually up pretty good on my put positions I have some $2,000 Amazon puts because I was like man you know breaking this support right here it's like no man's land between here to like 2400 and then after 2400 it's like 2100 right so I was really looking for things to die I thought market was gonna completely collapse but it looks like things are coming back around I think this Amazon split could actually carry the whole market however it's a little bit tricky because the markets as such a such a such a breaking point too it's like a flashpoint in the market right we have the Russian Ukraine situation we have we have the interest rate decision looming there's just so much different factors we have a lot of commodities all over the place and things are just all over like there's just so much like mixed signals mixed situations that people just aren't sure how it's gonna play out am I missing anything else what do you guys think and what other factors of black swan events that you guys think are out there however though the chart doesn't look that bad I mean to a certain extent let's look at the Amazon chart we can have this um so we have this trend line resistance here right Amazon's been struggling to break through this trend here I don't even know why this line is there let's get rid of that line let me turn on the extended hours see where's that yeah so we got the trend line resistance here let's get rid of this line that line is useless we have potentially a double bottom set up in a way right double bottom set up in a way if we I think the first target it's gonna be this area right here around 3100 if we can break over 3100 next level is gonna be 3300 that's been a pretty solid level and and then what's after 3300 for Amazon so we're gonna have 3100 that's gonna be resistance 3300 is another resistance right if we're playing Amazon those are some level and then after that you've got the 3500 and then you got the 3700 so those are all gonna be huge resistance for the for the stock split for Amazon range this is the chart check out these resistance points hope that helps if you guys are planning to play Amazon directly but remember before Home Depot is the play and I'm gonna explain that a little bit war three would be the ultimate blacks one event facts war three could be the ultimate back blacks one event I was actually taking a dump today and I was just thinking that as well I was like you know for the longest time we were waiting for this we were waiting for the blacks one event to crash the market and a lot of people couldn't understand what it was you know like let's keep in mind like blacks one events are always on foreseen right things that we couldn't see coming and all that stuff so this world we're three situation right now if Russia and the Ukraine situation doesn't get resolved in within a month's time if it doesn't get resolved within a month's time if it doesn't resolve itself by then this week or next week things are gonna get really troublesome and and like keeping all the political stuff aside right I when they were first that got started I actually I actually thought about how how it could be resolved and it might sound crazy but honestly if Russia goes like hey we'll stop invading Ukraine if you guys just drop the sanctions and stuff I swear God everybody and their mother would just drop all the sanctions the next day like they would just completely forget it if Russia is just like y'all we'll step back everybody would just forget that they ever invaded you know it's just just because we're at a point in the world that nobody is ready for the war and nobody is like really like trying to fight a war right now especially when the economy isn't in the gutter and then you know like everybody is just like in depth and stuff like that but I don't know if Russia's gonna do that at this point because they're starting to get more and more committed and and like we're also at a point that people are just extremely extremely like you know involved in it now it's like it's like school fights I don't know if you guys ever been in these school fights where like you know you and another kid had beef right and you're just like like you're not really crazy about fighting each other but you end up like getting into a staring contest and you're like about to fight each other but then suddenly everybody's like yo there's a fight there's a fight and next thing you know the whole school is watching and now you're at the point where the whole school is watching and you can't back out of this fight because and neither of you can back out of their fight you know even though it was just such a small conflict and neither of you really wanted to have to fight now that everybody in the school is watching you can't back up anymore you can't back out because anyone that's backing out of this fight it's gonna known like throughout the school as the biggest bozo right so is that facts or cap what's up CP what's going on no way they're prepared for these second years that's true they were I did I did look into this in the news and stuff they were they were gathering go for like years they were they also drop us currency for a while you know like eight months ago they drop us currency they drop us bonds those very suspicious you know it seems like they were already playing 5d chess with us from years ago while everybody here was still like trying to like recover from cold it broke I also said they picked the time in America is as we guess what we're worrying about gas and potato chip prices I wouldn't necessarily say we are the weakest I would say the whole world is at the weakest right now but that so that that's that's another possible issue why are we talking about political stuff because to a certain extent that can prevent the stock from you know doing well on the stock split because naturally stock splits in the bull market is very very bullish you know has a lot of potential to run like imagine watching Amazon run from 2,700 to 3,700 that's a thousand point move right but if market is extremely bearish and and there are no buyers in sight is it might not make that move you know it might not happen because market is just too scary you know market is just scary maybe this brings back the other point I was wondering remember when Google did a stock split and I had this crazy conspiracy theory I was like yo Google must be so smart they have to know what they were doing when they announced the split they got to know that the market was gonna die so that they can unload the most amount of shares onto retail holders that could also be a thought like is Amazon just as smart if they were why the hell didn't they split earlier when when everyone and their mother was waiting for them to split why Amazon why wait till now God dang Amazon what's up CP I did talk about that inclusive for Amazon I did say that was a possibility you know I did say that was a possibility oh do you know that Amazon actually historically what's up a missile Amy welcome so historically Amazon has actually took advantage of stock splits really really well so I remember watching old interviews of Jeff Basil when he was like really nerdy and like just like regular Joe man he was like he was like the regular dude now he's like now he's a boss now he's a now he's a chick magnet you know but in history Amazon actually had a lot of splits before the market crash as well look at this 1998 Amazon did a stock split when it was like just an up come up and coming company you know ran a lot came back down announced another stock split right October 98 took mad money stock went ridiculous they pumped it to the moon bro from $20 to like $100 man holy smoke talk about bull market this was a bull market all right the 2000s 1990s to 2000s stock came back down again right stock was dying they announced another stock split over here so they announced quite a few stock splits between 98 to like almost end of 99 before the dot-com bubble happened with the double top move here in the 2000 into 2001 so they definitely unloaded a lot of money Jeff Basil himself actually said that because they did the stock split because they raised so much money that was actually the sole reason that Amazon became what it was today because of those stock splits and they're in the interview so you guys can find them if you look hard enough you'll find Jeff babies will saying that and I think that's why for the longest time Jeff Basil said that he didn't want to do a stock split ever again he said as long as he was empowering Amazon he would never do a stock split and that's why he resigned a few months ago so that they could do a stock split that's why he resigned last year so that somebody else is in power so that they could do the stock split before the market crash and on low Amazon shares to everybody but hey I like Amazon I'll hold it so as I was saying earlier I think the best way to play Amazon stock splits is actually playing Home Depot tomorrow so if you guys wake up tomorrow and you see an opportunity in the Home Depot stock where the Home Depot stock hasn't ran as much it as Amazon that's a buying opportunity make a day trade out of it see if you can get 5 to 10% move on helping people be in and out of that trade and not even have to worry about it and then if you really want to participate in this Amazon stock split here's what you do you look at the ETF I think oh shoot I'm with look I'm only fans by accident sorry about that I swear I don't go there so one of the stocks one of the ETFs that holds a lot of Amazon is actually ONLN so this is another play that you can do if you really wanted to to do the Amazon stock split caught it 4k facts so so this is already up 2.75% already scrappy boo the scrappy boo just sub thanks for thanks for something appreciate you a following sorry or twitch a twitch notifications off so I I don't really know if somebody follows or or if somebody is like you know I'm subbing but I appreciate you nonetheless or that was the last time somebody sub usually the bot but anyways so top 10 holdings of this ETF online ETF pro shares online retail ETF ONLN so this is one of the other ways that you can play it they have options as well I believe so if you really bullish and you really want to play the Amazon stock split and you really want to see Amazon hit these levels from from 2700 to 3700 you know just think of the percentages cut that percentage in half and you're gonna play this ETF ONLN and then at the same time I think we can expect to see some of the other similar stocks in this category move as well such as such as Ali Baba you know I would not be surprised to see some movement from Ali Baba tomorrow I wouldn't be surprised to see some movement from eBay I wouldn't be surprised to see some movement from SE and all these other companies that could potentially be related to this ETF and slash related to Amazon X or Y is another one you know could be also be interesting play as well consumer discretionary so consumer discretionary is actually one of the reasons why Amazon did not hit $4000 in 2021 or in 2022 the sole reason the sole reason Amazon did not hit $4000 is because Amazon is in so many freaking consumer discretionary ETFs instead of data center ETFs or like cloud ETFs like everybody and their mother has considered or like if Amazon was a website and and it was an SEO thingy I mean like if the ticker was like almost like a website SEO thingy or if it was like an Instagram post if Amazon was an Instagram post everybody would be tagging Amazon as consumer discretionary when they should be tagging Amazon as like AWS like cloud or something like that so because it was tagged into consumer discretionary for people that aren't sure what consumer discretionary means it's just it's another word for like excessive cash spending it's a term for classifying goods and service that are considered non-essential by consumers but desirable if their available income is sufficient to purchase them so in other words you know it could be like it could be leisure products retail you know automobiles so those are great examples I think that the most common thing I associate consumer discretionary with is like hotels restaurants you know cruises and things like that so obviously consumer discretionary would mean that you know market is bullish and and like people have massive assess excessive amount of money and they're just blowing everywhere right that's consumer discretionary so because Amazon belong in that category as opposed to the cloud category and and obviously all the cruises and airlines did not do as well as all the cloud stocks right they were good but they didn't do that great so for example look at this amazon chart right I kid you not if I compare amazon next to royal caribbean is going to look really really similar anybody wanted to get a bit on that any takers let's compare so let's put over here our cl so watch this put on the weekly chart put this on the weekly chart so just look at all these peaks right all the peaks and drops these peaks and drops right they're all very similar to like to this see that peak here same peak here this peak was a little bit different but very similar that caused it to recover so let's say tomorrow what are the chances so based on this this thought right what do you think the chances are that royal Caribbean is going to have the biggest bounce tomorrow from 68 to 80 dollars what are you guys right now royal Caribbean is at 67 dollars right what do you think the chances are that was going to hit 80 dollars by this week or next week I would say is like over 50 percent chance of like or not maybe not hitting 80 dollars but having a really crazy recovery because of amazons if amazon starts running if amazon hits like 3300 i guarantee you all those other consumer discretionary stocks like royal Caribbean is going to hit like it's going to start moving like crazy even though it has nothing to do with amazon except being the fact that it lives in the same street as amazon so like you know if i was balling and i'm having a street party you're all going to benefit you know it's just like it's the nature of things so so that's that's going to be interesting and i think that's another way to play amazon instead of playing amazon so another one i think is interesting as well is um is uh home depot so i'll show you why so let's see home depot home depot actually dropped a lot too let me see so home depot look at this move here right the home depot may see that move coming down right home people just actually hit our mob line home people hit the mob around 300 dollars that was a huge buying opportunity um mob lines are usually where we see a lot of balances and then and and if amazon balances tomorrow i guarantee you home depot is not going to be around 320s home depot is going to be around front 340s if amazon starts making a strong move free market and it keeps the move we're going to see huge move from home depot tomorrow so you can see home depot come back to like 350 360s out of nowhere so those those are a few ways i would play amazon the first one is onln through the etfs or xlk secondary plays could be baba jd and then dirt plays like another way to play it could be real caribbean or consumer anything from consumer discretionary sector such as home depot or even airlines i think and that's why i think and in another sense that amazon could potentially carry the whole market you know on his backs because it's it's in it's got so much of those garbage things in the consumer discretionary sector so what do you guys think facts are caps how do you guys feel about amazon stocks but are you guys bullish is there something that you guys are looking forward to it what do i tell people saying ambulance do any approval from shareholders let me see well i mean i like to think that usually when the board approves it the shareholders are usually going to follow through i mean honestly at the end of the day this doesn't do anything bad fundamentally to shareholders right um especially to the regular shareholders so if the board of directors approved it i'm pretty sure the shareholders are going to go along with it because there's nothing fundamentally bad about it for shareholders if anything they can only benefit from the stock going higher so they can sell it you know how much do you anticipate fomc messing with this news um that's a great question let me see how was spy doing today i think naturally most fomc days is going to cause a lot of up and down moments you know i was actually looking for opportunity to short spy if it comes back to the 435 range i thought even this area was interesting short um you know today at 429 so on the es there was an interesting opportunity to take a short so we could potentially see a pullback but the market is showing a really nice double bottom move too you know so if we get the right catalyst between amazon and an fomc if a fomc doesn't say they're gonna do more than 25 basis point move things are gonna be good these things are gonna be good until end of the month when they say oh yes sorry guys we're actually we're actually gonna kind of raise it like more throughout the year you know and think i think if they say that it would potentially drop the stock but right now we have a very very nice double bottom move on spy so look at this one look at this the bottom mobile spy right so i could see spy coming to like 435's would this move potentially even 445's despite everybody they've been extremely extremely bearish in the market i think this could be another short squeeze hey it's almost Thursday i think two Thursdays ago i actually called the reversal like around here so maybe we call the reversal again let's see yeah for sure i think they they will vote for sure but like i said before i don't see why they they wouldn't you know i don't see why they would vote they would have to be nutty it would have to be crazy but then again like i can't underestimate people to do crazy things how's everybody else doing though are you guys making a killing in the market easy money i feel like so far the market's been very very predictable and and like it's been like really really easy lately oh yeah if you guys haven't followed us on twitter don't forget to check us out if we have any new viewers in here there's our twitter channel um you can you can also find x-rays from here as well there's also a flow page where you can check out our discord server if you want to join the x-ray server directly um or if you want to track your trades and performance check out tracing if you want to check out what i'm using to look at stocks and things like that the zinger of the pro very set up tonight from one to two weeks back but honestly the market has been relatively simple there's a very few basic patterns that's been occurring and it's been super easy to play we're seeing it move against the swing system really well too we actually we actually put the swing system to the test and it's been it's been really outperforming the market so let me see if i can get a screenshot out for you guys so this is actually one of the so this is one of the places that we're like back testing our swing system on um these are some of the plays that we started out so on on the 8th we went long in this position called gntx based on the swing system up about 200 dollars for 180 shares the other play was on march 4th we shorted etsy because market was going bearish right shorted 30 shares basis was 159 right now it's 144 probably end up closing this position tomorrow i'll realize p&l is 443 and then the other day we went along on berry bery very global's no clue what the company does i just know that it was bullish on the swing system and we went long on it right now profits at 351 so the other thing was also spy was having that bullish signal honestly i i don't know how people are losing money some of the stuff is pretty easy because if you look at just looking at the indicator even just looking at the starch rsi you can see the crossover here ours is a little bit modified in terms of money flow rsi but just looking at that over here you can see the crossover which generally signaled that you know the market is extremely extremely over so and anytime the market is extremely over so it likes the dead cat bounce a little bit so that you know gave us an opportunity for playing a dead cat bounce so it's really nice small play there so this is very picked up on the support level right here and looking at potential opportunity to sell so pretty easy stuff if you guys haven't read any other questions let me know um otherwise probably gonna end the stream soon here let's look at oil oh damn what a scam oil right to people but it's getting very over so now might be another opportunity to buy the dip on oil just when everybody was going long on oil and die but watch out though it's at the MOB line natural gas die as well well and it's kind of crazy it's like it became a sell the news event um yeah even UNG looks good on the MOB line here could be a buying opportunity watch out for that watch out for these so seeing a lot of potential usually when something pulls back it has a dead cat bounce um even i'm pretty sure goal is going to be very similar silver or almost there almost getting to the weight copper copper where is this uh Japanese yen even the dollar index dollar index having pulled back would love to see it come back to 97.5 it comes back to 97.5 means market is bullish xk soybeans having a little pullback corn this is wheat i would love to see wheat come back a little bit more and middle would love to see come back a little bit more i know why everybody was bullish on it but i feel like you know what historically it hit like a triple high so the double top over here historically from 2008 i remember seeing that i wanted to short it to i thought it was pretty interesting but it's still actually squeezing it's still actually pretty bullish i would love to see it come back to the mean around 800 not sure if that's gonna happen though i did see one stock that i thought was interesting for buy the dip um i'm not sure if it will happen yet so a lot of steel company could be an interesting opportunity if it we trace if it doesn't back test you know what if amazon carries the whole market we could even see facebook have a have a crazy move here where's paypal at last time i checked paypal was at 99 oh my gosh oh my gosh yo you guys seen this who yo i can't believe my alert i i can't believe i didn't put in the alert what a bozo the little seven a bozo look at this look at this man why didn't i buy paypal at 91 dollars because i didn't set an alert i drew the trend line but forgot to set the alert look at that hell is sexy man bam bam bam bam if amazon moves the market everything is going to move look for these beat up stocks paypal 120s baby easy money mo b mo b is um it's the yellow line from our swing system you can get the swing system x trace on sale now limited time only actually it is going to be on sale for a limited time only because i'm not going to sell it anymore that flicks very interesting here as well google triple bottom setup if you thought double bottom was nice what about triple bottom microsoft microsoft i don't know what's the makeup microsoft here do we have a bottoming pattern here maybe me can we squeeze yo can we get one last squeeze before the market dies oh my gosh yo are you guys seeing this bounce on amd so clean so clean so clean look at this oh my gosh look at this oh let's look at that bam bam bam there is some well out there that literally have like a limit set at 99 dollars that every time amd goes to 99.5 life legend has it this guy buys millions and millions of dollars worth of amd legend has it there's there's a mobi dick whale out there that just buys amd every time it hits 99.5 because how else are you guys going to explain to me why it bounce here here here here and here how else are you guys going to explain to me that it bounce five times on the exact line despite uncertainty at all time highs how how i don't know yo and and people say like technical analysis is like witchcraft is it witchcraft or is it because people just don't understand it crazy right love it have you taking a look at tesla oh yo i don't even have to look at tesla to tell you tesla is gonna move tomorrow i guarantee you tesla is gonna move whatever percentage amazon is up tomorrow tesla is going to be up at least half of that i guarantee you tesla what was tesla trading at yo tesla is trading at 856 dollars after hours oh my gosh i guarantee you it's gonna be more than it's gonna open above a 60 i guarantee you tesla is gonna be opening above 860 if i'm wrong i will buy you a tesla tomorrow that's how confident i am oh shit oh shit i hope i'm not wrong if i'm wrong i will never go online ever again you'll never see me ever again if if tesla does not open above a 16 tomorrow i'm gonna disappear hold me to it bro hold me to it hold me to it message me on twitter message me on twitter if that doesn't happen hold me to it yo should i tweet that out oh yeah talking about referrals on tasty trays yo let me let me share with you guys my referrals for tasty works i need to get the tesla tasty works write your referral link help me get a tesla support double seven for tesla if i get a tesla i'm gonna advertise this tesla tesla stock is gonna go up you guys are only gonna benefit can't go wrong can't lose win win for everybody but tesla is pretty interesting here so you can quick look at the tesla technical analysis we were having a downtrend pattern so you know just watching the top the top line the bottom line over here into act let's make this other line disappear i don't even want to look at this line no more damn disappear so look at this microphone pattern here every time it hits the bottom bounce to the top bottom bounce up a little bit bottom yo what are the chance they am that tesla it's gonna go to a thousand dollars again how nutty would that be that would be made though if that happens but hey if market like goes hella bullish that could happen why not a lot of interest they moved though man a lot of opportunity in the market makes me feel hella degen and it's the worst time to be degen too because we're at war we're like on the verge of war war three it's like not the time you want to be a degen this is the time you actually want to hoard cash and like and pray that we don't get new bro you know i was joking with my buddy like a month ago i was joking with my buddy i was like yo we're like we're like 30 years old and and i was like yo man did you know the age to get drafted is like 26 or something so if you're like over 25 or 26 you're you're not gonna get drafted but apparently apparently if we go to war and there's an emergency draft anybody can get drafted i believe myself just when i thought we were safe we're not imagine my ass go into war bro at times like this i don't want to go to war i just want to trace stocks actually i'll probably be really good if they make me general if all the generals die and i get to become a general i'll probably be really good i'll probably win the war for us man because i'll be good like i'll use my technical analysis skills i'll just use my critical analysis skills to analyze the map and stuff and i'll be like yeah this is where we want to attack you know we'll lose some troop here and then bam attack here so bullish on ba tomorrow as well you're very nice a lot of charges look really nice i don't know if this is an insult or a compliment man oh shit i'm definitely going the front line i believe it i'll be good that too i'll i'll just play dead bro i'll just play dead man i can see myself doing that too i'll be like i'll be like that one guy that survived just because i was like playing dead or something i'll be like saving private ryan wow look look at this move by caterpillar what's going on here why are you running caterpillar a lot of opportunities in the market um like amu says and like my favorite investor warren buffett you want to be greedy when others are fearful and what is where's the fear index at right now yo fear index is extreme fear if this isn't the definition of market being fearful i don't know what is look at that extreme fear so let's fucking go to the moon baby to the moon i could see it i could see it things are things are looking good for a lot of stocks so we're looking at morgan stanley we're looking at um Boeing home people some stocks to consider aping into i hate this company but hey even this company is an opportunity way fares way fares way fares oh these utility companies time to sell don't don't don't want to be investing in utilities right now once market gets greedy you don't want to invest in utilities utility is good when market is fearful and recession is coming but market is about to look hella bullish if amazon pulls the split off we need jeff basil to just coming out and start dancing on the stage bro like jack ma zi m oh bro i don't even need to look at the zi m chart that chart is probably on the moon bro zi m is a shipping company logistic stuff are like nutty right now it's probably it's to the moon man like i don't know where i i looked at this stock like a month ago i didn't know where to buy i'm looking at this stock now i still don't know where to buy the shipping companies are making dumb money nothing else to say man i don't know where to buy i don't know where to sell it only goes up but here's a chart though this could be an interesting area to sell do i know where to sell maybe i do i don't know live supposed to be a bow market boys a wallmark gg about to die tsm tsm might revive itself too oh things are looking quite interesting but yo just to clarify i'm still extremely bearish on the market but i am bullish on the fact that if amazon can make the whole market move the whole sector move i'm bullish on the fact that amazon could carry the market a little bit um but overall the end of the day i'm still kind of bearish on the market just wanted to kill or clarify that um but i think there are times for interesting opportunities for dead cat bounce and i think this is one of those times so play carefully short oil long everything else good luck guys i'm gonna end the stream here um god early day tomorrow has been a little tiring but i'll try to see if we can come back another time it's fun hanging out with you guys and talking to you guys i hope you guys make a lot of money on this amazon stock splits whether you're playing home depot whether you're playing amazon or onl and etf um or even real caribbean and bowing those are some interesting stuff and i hope you guys hold me to that tesla open over a 60 tomorrow hell you know what i feel like a 60 is too like it's not even big enough let me say 875 tesla 875 tomorrow all right cut my balls off see you


I am Funtown Mengstu, Director for Amara Regional Cultural Research Institute. Over the last three days, our Nile Basin Development Challenge stakeholder workshop we have learnt a lot on what has been achieved over the years which can be used as an input for policy and decision making. We have learnt that although there is a good policy framework in the country there are gaps, especially implementation at grass root level. For instance what has been mentioned was integration of water and agricultural activities lacking more emphasis is given on blue than green water and also there are some failures on understanding the farmers adoption and etc. Another point is with the modest natural resources and rainwater management generally we can bring about significant change in a relatively short time and improve overall productivity in people's livelihoods. And of course on water rainwater management especially for instance irrigation can be taken as an incentive for improved water management. But the thing is that sustainability has appeared really a key issue on what we do on rainwater and natural resources management. Therefore increased participation of the community and apart from long term benefits, evidence showing short term benefits for the farmers can be incentive for sustainability of our rainwater management and natural resources management activities. We understood that we are lacking hydrological planning. We need to plan at landscape level, at watershed level, at basin level. Otherwise what we do on plot basis, on farm basis and what is planned in isolation will result in conflict and as a result is a real sum game. When the upper stream people get the benefit, the downstream people will lose. Therefore hydrological planning, wide area planning is which we have learned during our workshop. Another important point is we don't understand fully the farmer and the farmer's circumstances. We don't have cross community learning. As a result our scaling up activities, all our technological options are less adopted by the farmer. Therefore we need to know very well. We need to fully understand the farmer during our water management activities.


Hello everyone and welcome to today's webinar. I'm Natasha Simons from ANS and I've got with me Dr. Laurel Hack who's the executive director of ORCID and we are coming to you live from the E-Research Australasia conference in Brisbane, but today we're going to be talking about all things ORCID so that we had a bit of an historic moment at yesterday's E-Research conference where Laurie and Heath Marks from the Australian Access Federation signed a joint agreement so that the AAF can become the institutional lead for the ORCID consortium in Australia. So that was a really exciting moment and there were lots of claps and cheers that happened in the ORCID birds of a feather session yesterday so that's the first announcement. So our first figure is Laurie and she's just going to talk about ORCID's adoption and use internationally and what's happening with ORCID so I send over to Laurie. Thank you Natasha. All right so an acknowledgement of Open Access Week just ORCID is this is our very first participation, formal participation in Open Access Week so congratulations to everybody. This has been a really good week for a lot of different organizations. As Natasha mentioned I'm going to be talking about ORCID in Australia but also talking about specific use cases for organizations in adopting ORCID and also the second part of the talk will be how ORCID is being used in consortia in Europe and outside of Australia. So the big question why do we need identifiers and as everyone on this call probably already knows names are messy and when I talk about names ORCID deals with names for people but also we work with other organizations on names for organizations and names for things so papers books research activities etc so the big question everyone has is can names actually be cleaned up and my answer is of course they can if we start using digital names digital names being persistent identifiers that uniquely specify people places or things so ORCID's role in this is providing a persistent digital identifier for people and in particular people participating in the research community. A picture on this slide shows three people all with the same transliterated name of Koishi Tanaka and as you can see from the Japanese characters above their picture when you look at their name in Japanese characters they are different but when they are transliterated to English characters or Roman characters you find that they all have the same transliterated name and so they all now have an ORCID identifier in a way of uniquely identifying themselves even though they have the same name when they are publishing or creating data sets or interacting with the grants organization so this is just one example of the utility of identifier for a person but there are many many others it's not just for people with common names so with ORCID ORCID is very community focused but also researcher focused for ORCID to be successful researchers need to use their digital name but to benefit from ORCID researchers really need only to do two things the first one is to register for an identifier and the second one is to use it and what I'm hoping on this call is to give people on the call some ideas and tools for how to communicate with researchers about engaging with ORCID and also some ideas for you on how to build ORCID identifiers and other persistent identifiers into your system so this is my favorite slide it seems to have had a lot of resonance here in Brisbane to use ORCID and to use identifiers effectively actually any identifier we have to get away from the notion that somebody can type an identifier into a form field for identifiers to be effective we really need to move towards a model where people are collecting these identifiers using something we called authentication so instead of typing an ID into a field it's using an aloft pathway a little bit technical but using this pathway to collect this identifier using that person's username and password into ORCID so this ensures that the person and that identifier belong together it ensures that the identifier is entered into the form without any pardon me without any typographical errors and it also ensures that during that form entry process the individual can explicitly approve the use of their identifier data in their ORCID record within that system and perhaps beyond if you want to be able to publish information so it's a really really good way to work within privacy mandates all right so as I mentioned this isn't just about ORCID it's about how we bring together identifiers for people places and things so I put together this handy dandy little diagram here to show you who is responsible for which part of this so ORCID provides an identifier registry we have organizations like crossref data site rda providing registries for dois for publications for datasets and more we also have organizations like fund rep which is a part of crossref and wring old providing organization identifiers so okay we've got the organizations that provide identifiers we rely on the community to use these identifiers again in an authenticated way so on the call pretty sure we have folks from universities from associations people who are managing data repositories and perhaps even a few funders maybe a publisher or two and so what we're doing is really requesting that each of these parts of the community start to use these identifiers and embed them into the systems that researchers are using on a daily basis so universities when I can go into this I just want everyone to understand you all have a little piece of this not everyone has to do everything and that over time it's really how do we work how does ORCID how does crossref how does wring old funder etc help to support the community in building these connections so sector responsibilities I put all the four big ones that we deal with funders universities publishing repositories and associations on the screen here and I have two more slides right after this that go into funders and universities in more detail we'll make these slides available after the session you can read this in a little bit more detail but I didn't want to spend a huge amount of time going through all of this but rather focus on universities and funders at the time being and I'm happy to answer questions about other sectors when we get off the call so for universities the big one really is asserting a relationship between a person and the university and I could expand this and not just focus on universities it's really research institutions okay and that could be a for-profit commercial non-profit or a university anyone that employs researchers trains researchers provides degrees to researchers so the big one here for these organizations is asserting that affiliation between a person's work identifier and the organizational identifier some other ones are using identifiers and thesis and dissertation workflows this is a really wonderful way of tying together all three identifiers work ID for the person and ID for the thesis and an ID for the organization in an authenticated validated electronic open record that's available to the researcher and to you for you know further career tracking or career progression purposes also using identifiers during the on and off boarding of staff is a really great way to start collecting these identifiers you're actually tying those identifiers into your human resources personnel or identity management systems at the university or at the at the research institute a lot of universities are starting to connect identifiers to research information management systems like a faculty profile system and then use this um identifying use orchid tools to receive updates from orchid when that record is when the purpose it has new items added to it and I'll talk a bit about how that's happening starting yesterday actually but the bottom of this page again a really very very important thing to do is engage the researchers at your institution to register and to use their identifier this is not something we need to do for the researcher it's something we need to do with the researcher and so we at orchid and also the folks at ands and at AF are really here as your partners in this endeavor to figure out how we can best engage the researchers in using these identifiers okay I'm hoping there's a couple folks from funders on the call funders tend to want a lot of information from all of us and now we're asking for funders to give a little back so on this page as you can see a big one for funders is to assert a relationship between a funding award and an orchid identifier if we can bring in the identifier for the grant an identifier for the funding organization and the identifier for the orchid for the person um and make that just like we did for the thesis in universities make that a public record um that can help to lubricate a lot of other things that are going on in the community for example understanding when somebody submits a manuscript which grants they might have that might have been used to help support the research described in that manuscript having that information in an asserted record in orchid then makes it possible for the publisher to ingest that information during manuscript submission and that person can then choose which one or several of those grants that are active on their orchid record um that relate to the manuscript being submitted so now you don't have to worry about metadata um metadata is already there you have grant identifiers and you know the person and the grant belong together so there's a lot of um benefits for having an asserted public record um between identifiers that can then be used in these workflows also that means then that um the funder needs to start asking for identifier string grant application but also to bring these identifiers not just orchid again through the grant application and award process and then publish that at the end of the day in the public award information um and the funder can also benefit by receiving updates from orchid as the person publishes and again i'll show you how that's working in a minute and lastly um most importantly again engaging the researchers to register and use their identifier making it clear why the funder is doing this and making it clear the benefit to the researcher and engaging all right so what does this look like i'm going to show you what this looks like from a visual perspective i realize i probably need to put some xml on the screen um i don't know how many people actually like looking at xml but i'm happy to do that i might do that in the next iteration of this deck um so here's an example of taking a person's orchid id and combining it with the ringgold id for the organization asking at this time when you're collecting that id so this person's on boarding let's say at the university or coming into an association as a new or renewing member you can then say here's a person they use the process that we help enable at the university to couple their orchid identifier with university and the university can ask for what we call read and write permissions from that researcher so can we the university can we the requester see your orchid record things that might not be public on that record can we the requesting organization also write information into that record if you um ask for these write permissions um you can then as the employer post information into the orchid record saying this person's orchid id and this organization in this case the university of colorado boulder belong together or affiliated in an employment relationship um and it not only provides the linkage between the two identifiers it also provides provenance on the record so it says who made that assertion so how are these two related in this case that assertion is made by the university of colorado boulder so you now not only have a relationship you have some level of trust that this relationship actually is the case and now that the university of colorado has written this into that person's orchid record they can also update it when that person if that person should leave the organization finendi all right so this is how you bring people and places together um there is also a discussion i just found out yesterday actually just yesterday this happened where rep eds has actually put out a recommendation for adding orchid into um what's called an edgy person schema so anybody who's involved with identity providers and log in will understand what this means um the concept now is that as people log into systems using shibboleth for example um orchid can become a piece of the information that exchange that is exchanged during the login process so that's the second bullet there we now have somebody the swiss edu identity provider is now allowing this process to happen and orchid is actually in process of working with the folks in the Netherlands as well and this is actually a use case that orchid and af are working on here in australia so we're really really looking forward to being able to develop some very specific use cases here in australia so what does this look like in action so this rolled out yesterday and i'm really excited about it so here is a person at the top of the screen i think you can see my mouse um person with their orchid identifier they come to submit a manuscript to a publisher they include their id when they submit that again using a way to collect the identifier that doesn't involve typing um the publisher then reviews um or goes through the review process the manuscript is accepted and that identifier is then passed along from the publisher to crossref when uh when the manuscript is published so now you have uh information metadata stored at crossref that includes an orchid identifier and crossref is now alerting the orchid record holder that hey we now have a published manuscript or not a manuscript information about a manuscript that's just been published where you have included your orchid id and then automatically updating that person's orchid record really handy that means the individual all they needed to do is include their id at manuscript submission which takes about 30 seconds and their individual orchid record becomes updated but not just that any system that is receiving notifications from orchid can also receive an update that hey this person is published and this is the authoritative metadata about that publication including the publication DOI and an asserted linkage between the person's orchid id and that DOI so this can be used to update university libraries if you have an open access repository it can be used to trigger an alert back to the researcher asking for the pre-print um if you are running a faculty profile system it's a very straightforward way to keep that profile system updated if you are a funder and care about what publications or data sets so data sites involved in so well what data sets your researchers are um producing you can receive an update when that's published instead of a year after so it's a really good way of keeping track of what's going on um if you want more information about what to do some ideas for use cases examples of what others are doing some outreach materials ways to contact us code samples the whole Google is available at members dot orchid dot org here on the screen um you can see that there are some specific um buttons here for different parts of the community um you click on those buttons and that will bring up uh different kinds of information um in more ways to look at um how might I at my own organization want to engage with this process um I want to talk a little bit about what's happening um internationally um this slide shows uh different things that are happening we have some places like Austria Portugal and Sweden where there's a national recommendation but also a funder requirement for using orchid identifiers during grant submission and we also have countries like the united kingdom and um Italy that have um this year also uh committed to a national consortium for implementing orchid across the research community so I'm going to talk a little bit about that so the first national consortium that launched was Denmark in 2014 this involved all eight universities in Denmark um and the goal there really is to get 80 participation by researchers um to support the formation of a national repository of publications um that is going to be used for a national assessment um so they started that in 2014 sorry um and the chart on the side shows um how they're doing in terms of getting to their 80 percent mark this particular um national consortia does not involve the funder um and just the universities we can see that you know some are doing quite well and some have a bit of a ways to go um in Italy um they've launched a national consortium in the we think here it was July this year there are now 74 if I didn't say UK I should say Italy I'm sorry 74 Italian universities and research institutes are participating in this consortium this is led by one of the ministries in Italy um it involves the um crew which is the conference of Italian university rector so they've got both government and university participation and very high level research office university participation uh they are using one um platform for integration that's built by chinica um which is also a government organization um and they are using um a d space chris um so the universities have a platform they don't have to build something on their own they basically need to just plug into that platform uh to be able to enable connections between their researchers and their identifier so it's a fairly um centralized way of engaging with orchid their goal is similar to Denmark they want to ensure that at least 80 percent of their researchers have an ID and then actually connect that identifier out into existing databases in their case they're focusing on scopus um and their goal is to get um the 80 percent participation by the end of next year with the links out and actually they want to get 80 percent participation by i think it's november this year um and then give people time to link it out to other databases in the uk the uk launched a consortium also in july this year there are now over 40 universities actually um that have joined the the consortium uh uk has a very different approach from Italy and Denmark in that each university has a different approach um there is no overarching mandate for percent participation or how each university is going to be embedding orchid um everyone has their own way um at the end of the day uh i think the goal here is to feed into their national evaluation exercise the ref um and also support open access compliance requirements um and the bottom bullet here says that the funders and the charities may form a separate consortia the last i've heard actually is that the rc uk are likely to join um the uk consortia with the other university so um we'll hear more about that in the coming month or so um so now we have australia with a joint statement of principle is trying to download the pictures today put one in here but i'm really really excited about working with australia um and i think he is not here but we will be working with aaf um on technical support on um developing faqs for australia um we will be working very very closely with aaf um to interact with um universities and funders and the research institutes in australia as well as with annds so um as i said i'm really excited about this you have not seen the last of me um and the other thing i did want to mention is that um orchid will be back um in australia in february between the 15th and the 17th will be in canberra hosting or co-hosting an orchid outreach meeting with and aaf um we look forward to seeing you there and we'll be posting a little bit more information about what that meeting entails and who's involved in the coming um month or so so i guess i can probably end there and take questions if people have it or do you want to add and actually i think that's just going to add a bit about aaf yeah uh okay hi everybody um okay he unfortunately hasn't been able to make it to the webinar so i'm just going to give you a little update on what is happening with the australian orchid consortium so uh you should be able to see the screen there uh which is what's on the and site at the moment uh about the australian orchid consortium so essentially we put out a call for expressions of interest for institutions who wanted to participate in australian orchid consortium we put that call out in august about mid august and it closed in mid september and we asked for a single institutional response uh preferably from the dvcrs and we received a total of 41 responses a couple trickled in a bit late which included included a number of australian universities uh the two major research councils the australian research council and the national health and medical research councils um a couple of government agencies like the csiro and ansto um and some medical research institute as well so that's people who are interested in joining the consortium the next steps are that um aaf have gone through their due diligence process and they are now having signed the agreement yesterday are now the consortium lead for the for australia and they will be sending a copy of what's called an accession agreement to people who put out an expression of interest and that accession agreement has to be signed by the institution and given back to the aaf by the end of november and then after that you're issued with a payment invoice for the consortium which needs to be paid within the december period and then the consortium uh will go live on the first of january 2016 uh we're looking at having some sort of a launch event in association with the with the orchard outreach meetings in canberra on the 15th to the 17th of february so you can pencil that in your diaries uh and the aaf if you look at the screen there they've actually got some information on their website so they they're actually the place to go to for the consortium um information here they've got um they've actually put a whole lot of information up there that we don't have on the ann's website uh and there's also an email address there if you want to submit queries to the consortium so uh i think the one point that he would have wanted me to make was that the agreement uh can't be changed that the agreement that the accession agreement that you're asked to sign but you can certainly make queries of the aaf and that is because all members of the consortium need to sign the same agreement so it can't be changed if there's 41 members then 41 need to want to change that agreement so i think that gives you an idea of the time frames and what's involved and i think we might open it up to question and answers there a question there all right it asks uh there's a question how many government agencies have signed up and is there the possibility for more institutions to sign up that haven't already expressed interest yes yes and yes so uh there are two government agencies who put in an expression of interest one was the CSIRO and the other one is Ann Stove Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organization but we certainly welcome uh more government agencies who would like to be part of this and expression of interest just basically people didn't sign anything to do that it just meant we were trying to gauge the level of interest in a consortium so you definitely have time to come on board uh if you're interested just drop that uh there's an email address i think it's orchid at aaf uh it's somewhere on the page there maybe it's under become a member there you go orchid at aaf.edu.au so if you send them an email they can send you the accession agreement and you can look it over and see if you'd like to be part of the consortium so the definitely time uh the 30th november is when those agreements need to be in and we will also be um emailing the lists the e lists that each of the orchid working group members are part of which is you know call court it um i can't remember more aaf universities austria um and ann's to get that information and arms as well to get that information out there so that um because uh people who expressed an expression of interest we will email the accession agreement directly to them but we will also put out a general email to the elist so that people will know about what's what's happening and you can prompt your senior people to sign the agreement if you want to be part of it okay well thank you very much for attending the webinar today if you think of any questions after the webinar anything you want to ask you can uh you can drop a line through that orchid address or you can uh contact ann's contact me and we'll find a way to answer your questions so thanks again and thank you very much lori thank you thank you very much


One of the things when I was looking at my first faculty position is where could I go to learn how to be the best faculty member and researcher and teacher I could possibly be, and Purdue really met all of those things. I admired all of the other schools of engineering at Purdue, some of which had been in existence for a hundred years because they had such scope and scale and tremendous alumni and great research and thinking if we could achieve that in biomedical engineering we would really have something special that would impact students and their careers but lots of patients who are in need of these medical technologies. I'm very very pleased to be part of this celebration of George Wotica. He's had an extraordinary impact on biomedical engineering here at Purdue. I remember quite vividly in 2001 I was in a meeting in Huvde Hall and Dean Schwartz and George Wotica told me about the Whitaker Foundation that was giving grants to universities that wanted to start biomedical engineering programs because all of the advances in modern biology when coupled with engineering could have an enormous impact on health and on understanding of disease. All of a sudden in 2004 we had the resources to build a brand new building and of course at that point the ball was fully in the court of George Wotica who was the head of the new school. Within a few years we sort of went from a fledgling department until a full fledged school with its own facility and as part of the faculty growth we could then offer an undergraduate program as well as everybody into graduate school. He knew how to build the program. Today Purdue biomedical engineering is one of the top programs in the country. One of our earliest wins was our ability to attract truly high quality and dedicated staff and faculty and students to our operation. I really was inspired to see how you can persist and focus on solving a problem and sticking with it for a long time for it to ultimately become something that's used clinically. How many patients have been directly helped through the technologies that we've invented or developed? If you actually look over the past 25 years that number is I think approaching around 10 million patients worldwide that reflects literally a patient being helped just about every minute of every day from something that we've developed here. Biomedical engineering is moving us from a reactive way of either gathering data about a patient or helping that patient to one that is continuous and preventative. What you did over such an extended period of time has very few replicas that I'm aware of in Purdue history or anybody's history. On behalf of the Weldon School we'd like to present to you now the George R. Wattica Atrium of Biomedical Engineering. We're at the ground floor and you're moving from like a small shell space and building somewhere else on campus to casting a vision to getting the folks to building a program. Getting it off the ground is just a perculean task and I think that's what his legacy will be.
