Donald Trump breaks it snow in the Sahara. Where does this year with alternative facts and improbable but real happenings and events leaders? Ladies and gentlemen, my impression truthfully nobody really knows. We see that from the ex-foreign minister, Joschka Fischer. He has written an op-ed and he said that Trump actually prefers nationalistic tendencies within the EU. Same counts for Putin in Fischer's eyes. And so the EU is endangered because at the same time Trump has said that he will not support NATO anymore. And NATO has been the more or less implicit guarantee as to provide security for Germany and security for Europe. So it was a promise from the United States that it's being cancelled. So will there be military coming to the EU? Will there be more military? Will there be a combined military strategy? I asked myself how should that work? We have four years not spoken with one voice. How can we command joint forces? So that is a big question mark for this year and the coming years from that regard. Then yesterday we had some voices after the court ruled that they want to have the Brexit go through parliament first before initiated. That some have interpreted that court ruling as to make the Brexit less probable. We still know that foodie a bit more than 50% voted for, Brexit a bit less than 50% voted against and those that voted against are still there. And so there are inner fights. There is a stalemate more or less. Nothing is really going forward in a speed which would be wishful for both parties. The EU and would also be wishful for the UK in my opinion because you know until there is a real decision made. We have uncertainty and any uncertainty as long the longer this uncertainty goes the more costs are being produced by that uncertainty. And that is something that we have to deal with. Donald Trump now I almost wanted to say Obama but is Donald Trump he has per executive order agreed to build the Keystone XXL oil sense pipeline. So that is a pipeline going from the oil sense in Canada bringing oil all the way down to the Gulf of Mexico. But that goes through a Seahawks Indian area and it goes the pipeline should go below a sea which is there in an environment that is being protected. And should that pipeline actually leak that would be the end of that nature habitat there. That is the danger that is also the reason why Barack Obama in 2015 said that the Keystone XXL pipeline will not be built. So now Trump has says it will be built. It will come. And there's a second pipeline Dakota access that will also come to the United States at the same time we see where the dangers are in Canada. There's been a oil pipeline spill 200,000 liters of oil have gone out of a pipeline. And it was actually a resident who by luck found out that after a week where he smelled this crude oil smell and after a week he went over there to find out where that comes from. And there he saw that big sea of 200,000 liters of oil flowing around. So now they are trying to clean that up. But at the same time we see that in the United States that has nothing to do with the oil spill in Canada. But in the United States after Trump had those executive orders for the pipeline XXL and has also met with auto mobile producers, automotive producers to bring back jobs to United States. They should build manufacturing in the United States and they will get environment permits from Trump very fast. That was what he actually said to Ford and to the auto builders in the United States. And at the same time there is a blackout for the environment protection agency who is no longer able to communicate with the press. There is no longer able to use social media and they have also a complete blackout for that agency. So that is interesting to see where this will actually lead us. So that is actually it for now. We've got an uptrend still in European stocks. We've got a shallow consolidation over the past days. Yesterday the DAX profited from the Brexit news and from less than probabilities that Brexit will actually come. So that has been positive for the DAX index. So that might be that he comes out after we had a really shallow and tight consolidation. And we might break out of that consolidation and go in northwards in the direction of 12,000. If that breakout is successful that might be a signal that something like this is happening.


Have you ever had $100 in your pocket and thought to yourself, how can I turn this $100 into $200 or $500 or $1,000 or even $10,000? Well, this is the video for you because if you keep that $100 in a bank account, it's only gonna increase by about 0.05% yearly. That means that it would take hundreds or thousands of years to double. So it's important that you put that money to work and by the end of this video, you're gonna know exactly how to do that. Now, everybody out there is gonna have different goals, interests, risk tolerance, time frame, situations, et cetera. So in this video, I'm gonna give you several different options for your investment. You can look at these different investment options and decide which one fits you the best. So first of all, let's talk about individual stocks. These are basically going to be shares of a company that say that you own a very small part of that company. Now I'm gonna break down each of these types of investments into three different categories. Just to make things simple, we're gonna be talking about risk, reward, and difficulty. Risk is gonna have to do with what percentage chance does your $100 investment have of going down to zero or maybe going down to $50, so you end up losing money. Reward is what percentage chance does your investment have of doubling? So how much money would you actually earn from your investment per year? Difficulty is not only how difficult the skill of whatever investment you are trying to get into is, but also how long and how much effort you're gonna have to put into it. So when it comes to investing in individual stocks, they are relatively risky. I'm gonna have to give this one a five out of 10 when it comes to risk. The reason for that is because you never know what the perceived value versus the actual value of the stock is. So if a lot of people are talking about a stock, that could mean that the perceived value is way above or it could mean that not enough people were talking about it in the first place and it's just gonna keep going up, kind of like Tesla did this year. So you never really know whether the hype is in line with reality or whether it's a big bubble and it's gonna pop at some point. So everybody knows about Tesla, how it went up pretty much 10X the last year. It went up about 1,000%. Everybody heard about GameStop that did even better than that. But a lot of people don't hear about companies that went down 100% or more and that happened to quite a few companies this year as well. So when it comes to the reward, especially if you know what you're doing, I'm gonna give this one an eight out of 10. Now when it comes to difficulty, most normal investors are not going to be able to consistently pick stocks correctly. If you do decide to go this route, I highly recommend diversifying, investing in a bunch of different companies that you believe in just to mitigate some of the risk. But overall, I'm gonna give this one a difficulty score of six out of 10. So the overall score when it comes to individual stocks is going to be 19. Now the easiest way to get started investing in individual stocks are pretty much any of the ones on this list, especially if you're a beginner, would be to open an account with Webull. And right now they are offering a really generous free promo for free stocks valued up to $1,800 as long as you put $100 into their account. You can check that out down in the description below. I would say this is one of the easiest apps that you can use when it comes to starting investing. Next on the list, we're gonna be talking about bonds. And they are essentially an IOU that you would get from a company or a government that is trying to raise money. So you might get a bond, for instance, that would pay you back 4% per year, but you have to hold it for at least 10 years. Now, when it comes to risk, this is very, very low risk. And that's a good thing. So I'm gonna give it a score of 10 out of 10. When it comes to reward, not so great. Usually you're only gonna get around 3% to 4% return. And so for that reason, I'm gonna give it 2 out of 10. This can be great if you're somebody who's very close to retirement and you don't wanna take any risk. You put your money in bonds and then you don't have to worry about what the market does. But for younger people, generally speaking, it's best if you take more risk. Now that doesn't mean do crazy things or anything like that. You still wanna take smart risks. But if you're young, it's a good idea to maybe invest in a little bit more risky types of investments, maybe even start your own business. Now, when it comes to difficulty, again, extremely easy to invest in bonds, not hard at all. This one is gonna get a score of nine out of 10. So overall, the score for investing in bonds is going to be 21. And that is great, especially if you're someone who doesn't wanna take any risk. Next on the list, we're gonna be talking about starting your own business, AKA investing in yourself. And I guess you could also include here, investing in a high income skill, something like learning coding, for instance, where you could get paid quite a bit from a company. So when it comes to the risk here, it is relatively high. Most businesses fail depending on what type of business you're trying to get in. You're gonna have somewhere between a 10 to 30% chance of success. And so you'll likely have to start multiple businesses before you finally get into one that's actually successful. You'll probably find more success learning a valuable skill, especially in the beginning and then later on after you've learned some skills, you've gotten some experience, then it's a better time to start a business. But overall, when it comes to risk here, I'm gonna give this one a five out of 10 because yes, it is risky, but at the same time, not learning a skill, not investing in yourself is probably even more risky. But in this particular scenario, starting off with $100, assuming that you don't already have a high income skill and have a lot of experience, starting a business might not be the best possible opportunity for you. Now, when it comes to reward, I'm actually gonna give this one an 11 out of 10. I recently did a video where I basically watched a bunch of Daniel Mack's videos and this is a guy who asks super car owners what they do for a living. And overwhelmingly, it became very obvious that many of them were business owners. So they started their own business and that's how they were able to achieve financial freedom at such an early age. I've also done other videos on this and it's become very obvious to me that especially if you're somebody who wants to retire early, for instance, starting your own business is a good way to go. You don't have to, you can definitely retire early just by getting a good job and then investing your money and cutting your costs. But that's not going to be a great option for everyone. The upside is extremely high when it comes to starting your own business. There's basically no ceiling. Now, when it comes to difficulty, that's where this one is going to kind of suffer a little bit, okay? Starting your own business is very difficult. Despite what all the gurus on YouTube who want you to buy their $2,000 course are going to say, starting a business is very difficult. And even if you have a great opportunity, your chances of success are still probably going to be like 30%. That means there's a 70% chance that you're going to fail. And so it's a good idea to make sure that you have a backup plan, probably learn some kind of skills, start a business on the side while you're working in a job where you're getting experience and you're building your skills. And on top of that, usually you're going to be working on your business for a long period of time and you're going to be either losing money or not making any. Generally speaking, you're going to be losing money for at least three to six months so you need to be prepared for that. So overall, this one is going to get a score of 3.5 out of 10 when it comes to difficulty and the overall score is going to be 19.5. Next on the list, we're going to be talking about cryptocurrency or blockchain. And this is something I've been investing in for a while but I've really gotten into it lately. Now, when it comes to risk, you have to realize here, cryptocurrency is very risky, okay? There's no other way to put it. Cryptocurrency is risky. All these channels on YouTube that are like, oh, if you don't want to take risk, just keep your money in Bitcoin or Ethereum. No, Bitcoin, Ethereum absolutely could go to zero. That's possible that that could happen. There's so many other factors that are outside of our control. Governments could ban Bitcoin. Bitcoin could get totally replaced and nobody really knows what the result or the price would be if any of those things happened. So the risk here is going to be pretty massive. I'm going to give it about a five out of 10 when it comes to risk. So you probably don't want to invest in cryptocurrency if you're someone who doesn't want to take on risk. So if you're very close to retirement, for instance, you're like 65, you're retiring at 67, I wouldn't recommend investing in crypto. However, if you're young, you don't have any obligations like a mortgage to pay and a family to take care of, it's best to take on more risk. I have a friend, for instance, and I tried to get him into investing for years. He wouldn't start investing until I told him about cryptocurrency. For some reason, crypto really excites him and that's what got him into investing. Now, maybe it will turn out well, maybe it won't turn out well, but the fact is that he wouldn't have started investing if it wasn't for cryptocurrency. He wouldn't even be in that mindset. And most people don't start investing until they're in their 30s. So in my opinion, if crypto gets people excited about investing, it's going to be a good thing even if they end up losing a little bit of money. Now, in my opinion, when it comes to risk, it's actually more risky to not invest at least some of your portfolio into cryptocurrency. And the reason for this is because, let's say governments keep on printing money and the entire stock market and the entire financial system in general ends up crashing again just like it did in 2008. Chances are a lot of people are going to take their money out of stocks, et cetera, and put them into cryptocurrency. And it's possible that crypto in some ways could replace the financial markets. I'm not saying whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. All I'm saying is it is a possibility. There is a chance that that happens. And so a lot of people say that you should invest maybe five to 10% of your portfolio into crypto just to hedge your bets against that happening. I personally started off with around five to 10% and of course it grew to take up a substantial amount of my portfolio because it went up so much.  Bitcoin went up 10X in the last year. That's literally 1,000%. There's been other cryptocurrencies that have gone up even more than that, like 40X, 50X, but you also have cryptocurrencies that have spiked, gone up a lot, people bought at the top and then they lost all of their value. So it's important to keep in mind the fundamentals of investing here, which is dollar cost average. So try to put your money in a little bit every month instead of trying to time the market. Diversify your portfolio. So don't put all of your money into like one cryptocurrency. Try to diversify into at least five to 10 of them. And then try to think long-term if you can, long-term investing almost always beats short-term investing. So try to look at cryptos that you really believe are gonna do well in the long run, invest in them and then just like leave it there and forget about it. Even if the market drops, just keep investing more and more. So when it comes to difficulty, this one is a little difficult. You have to really do your research when it comes to cryptocurrencies because a lot of people, for instance, fell for the BitConnect scam a few years ago and BitConnect was basically a pyramid scheme, but a lot of people were absolutely 100% sold on it. So you really do wanna do your research. We're talking about the fundamentals here. You wanna look at who the CEO is, okay? Who is the CEO? What have they done in the past? How did they act? Does the cryptocurrency itself make sense?  How overvalued are they? How undervalued are they? You wanna keep value investing in mind, but at the same time, crypto is one of those markets where hype has a lot to do with it as well. Let's just be honest. So there's a lot to say about cryptocurrency, but overall, I'm gonna give it a difficulty score of seven and so its overall score is 22. Next, we're gonna be talking about day trading and this is day trading, swing trading, penny stock trading, forex, all of these types of short term trading. A lot of people confuse trading with investing and in my opinion, it's not really the same thing at all. And day trading specifically is where you buy a stock for instance and then you need to sell that stock by the end of the day. So you start off with a cash balance of say $10,000 at the beginning of the day and whatever you buy and sell in stocks, you have to liquidate it and turn it into cash by the end of the day. Swing trading is a little bit different. You have a few days to do that. So usually it's like a few days to a week, but overall the big thing here is that you are going to be buying and selling in short time spans. Now there's a lot of disadvantages to this. For one, you have to pay more in taxes. You have to pay short term capital gains tax versus paying long term capital gains, which is a lot less. And study after study has shown that almost all day traders either end up straight up losing money or the few that make money only make slightly more than minimum wage. And I've talked about this before on my channel. If you don't believe me, you can check out some of my other investing videos. I'm not really going to go over it here, but this is a well-known fact. And I actually tried it out myself recently. I did a day trading challenge and things turned out well. But guess what? I've also gone to the casino before, put everything on black playing roulette and things turned out well for me there. Does that mean that it's a viable option for investment? No. So overall day trading is going to get a score of two out of 10 when it comes to risk. Now, when it comes to reward, it does have a very high upside. So you can make quite a bit of money day trading. I'm going to give this one 10 out of 10. The only problem here is day traders on the internet are only going to show you their wins. They're probably not going to show you their losses. And I'm confident in saying that most day traders on YouTube make more money from their YouTube channels and the courses they sell than they do from trading itself. And when it comes to difficulty, getting very good at day trading is extremely difficult and it takes up a lot of time. So it's a skill set. You have to be, first of all, emotionally disciplined, right?  Like you have an exit plan, you have an exit strategy. The moment it gets to that, you need to take profit. Second, a lot of these day trading platforms are very difficult to learn how to use and even more difficult to learn how to use well. Third, you have to spend quite a bit of time day trading. So it's not a passive investment like most of the ones on this list. So in my opinion, if you're a young person who has big goals, big dreams and you have risk tolerance, you're willing to take risk and you've got the time to do it, a much better alternative is just to start your own business. If you start your own business, you're gonna have to learn a lot of skill. It's gonna take a lot of time and it's gonna take quite a bit of risk tolerance just like day trading, but the upside is much higher. So overall, the difficulty here is gonna be two out of 10 and it's gonna get a score of 14. Next on the list is going to be index funds. And this is probably the best overall investment for the average person, all things being equal. So a really easy example of an index fund is you take the top 500 companies in the world, AKA the S&P 500, and then you invest a little bit into each one of those companies. So chances are, you know, they're the best companies in the world, they already have brands, some of the smartest people in the world are working for them.   So when it comes to risk, you're really not taking much. I would give this one a nine out of 10. Now I will say that I also invest in international index funds, not just the biggest companies here in the United States because I think that a lot of international companies are undervalued and the rest of the world is catching up with the US. That's just my opinion though, I could be totally wrong there. But when you're investing in an index fund, you're basically just investing in entrepreneurs. And I truly do believe in entrepreneurs, they're one of the biggest examples of people who change the world. Now when it comes to reward, index funds have been shown to beat about 99% of normal investors, so people like you and me.  These hedge fund managers are some of the smartest people in the world, okay? They go to like Stanford, Wharton, et cetera. These people are geniuses with like 160 IQ and not only that, they have access to resources that average people don't. The best technology in the world, the best consultants, et cetera. And yet they're still not able to beat index funds 85 to 95% of the time. And on top of that, they're pretty much spending like 12, 14 hours a day looking into different stocks that they're thinking about investing in. Whereas index funds are pretty much completely passive, they're pretty much 99% passively managed by a computer. So the reward here is relatively high, especially when you compare it to the risk. I'm gonna give it a seven out of 10. Now, when it comes to difficulty, because of the fact that index funds are passively managed, they don't cost very much, right? So a lot of the time you're gonna see index funds either have 0% in fees or if there is a fee, it's like 0.03%. It's pretty much nothing. On top of that, you can set your index fund to automatically reinvest the dividends that it gets and you can have it to where your bank account automatically deposits let's say $500 a month into the fund. So you can pretty much just set it and forget it.  So the difficulty score here, it's not gonna be difficult at all. It's gonna get a nine out of 10. And so the total score is going to be 25. Like I said before, I think index funds, all things being equal, of course for some people it's gonna be different. I think all things being equal index funds are probably the best investment. If there was just one investment that you could invest in for the rest of your life, index funds would be the way to go. Next, we're gonna talk about something very similar to index funds, which is going to be mutual funds. And it's very similar. Basically, you're investing in a ton of different companies. They're diversifying. You know, your dollar cost averaging your money into it. However, mutual funds are going to be actively managed. And because of that, there are going to be some fees that are associated with it. Now, again, studies have shown that index funds do generally speaking outperform mutual funds and on top of that they have less when it comes to fees. So mutual funds are basically just a slightly less good version of index funds. However, you could argue that, you know, if that 85% number is correct, that means there's a 15% chance that your mutual fund might be index funds. And if you find one that you really believe in, you know, you think there's a really smart person who's heading the company or something like that, it could be a better alternative to index funds. So like I said, it's basically a slightly less good version, in my opinion. So when it comes to the risk, I'm going to say it's seven out of 10. When it comes to rewards, 6.5 out of 10. And difficulty, it's going to be eight out of 10. So the total score is 21.5. Still a good investment, just not the best investment in my opinion. Next on the list, we're going to be talking about REITs or real estate investment trusts. So this is basically investing in real estate, very similar to you investing in shares in a company. Right? So instead of buying the entire building, you're investing in a very small percentage of that building, and you're usually investing in, you know, hundreds or thousands of them, right? So a super simple example of this would be, let's say that you give me $100,000 to invest in a building. So I invested in that. And then every single year, I get $10,000 back from that investment. I would give you $9,000 of those dollars back. So about 9%. And then I'd keep $1,000 for myself. This is a really simple example, of course, but I think that's just a way of visualizing it. So when it comes to the risk here, I'm gonna give this one a six out of 10 overall. We've all seen what has happened in the last year with real estate. There are a lot of real estate investment trust companies that have actually gone down the tubes when it comes to their evaluation. And also when it comes to real estate, there's a lot of hidden things that you don't really think about. You know, stuff breaks down, toilets break down, washers break down. You have to replace all of these things. There's lots of other hidden costs. There's things where if the person who's inspecting the building, they don't do a good job, you might end up paying like an extra $10,000 to fix the roof, for instance. The government also has a lot more control over your investments in real estate than they do over your investments in stocks. They can tell you what you can and cannot do. So there's a lot of hidden risks when it comes to investing in real estate. When it comes to reward, I think that you're probably not going to get as good of a consistent reward as you would from index funds. I'm gonna give it a six out of 10. And when it comes to difficulty, relatively easy, although, you know, there is a lot of bad information out there on the internet when it comes to real estate just because people make so much money from it. So I'm gonna give this one a seven out of 10 and that makes the total final score 19. Can be a great opportunity for you, especially if you're someone who's very bullish on real estate and you know a lot about real estate, you can look at the different companies that do REITs and maybe you can tell that one company's better than another. So that is a very basic overview of all of the common investments that you see here on YouTube. Now, you can invest $100 very easily by using Webull, which I have a link down in the description, like I said before. And a lot of these companies are offering really good promos. I think Webull is the best one. And on top of that, I think it's the best brokerage for beginners. Very easy to use, but you still have a lot of functionality and you can invest in almost all of the ones that I mentioned on this list.  I'm really curious what you guys think about all of these different investments. Let me know what you think down in the description. Did I get some of these right? Did I get them wrong? Was I wrong about the risk, reward, the difficulty, et cetera? And if you haven't done it already, go ahead and gently tap that like button in order to defeat the evil YouTube algorithm.

For such a tiny lady Florence Pugh can do a lot of carrion because she's carrying this whole goddamn movie That's a hot mug guys Hey guys, this is my review from black widow finally long-awaited female lead film of the Marvel franchise After 11 years they finally got one and they put it right in a time section in the franchise That means that this movie basically means nothing But hey at least you got one right the film follows Natasha Romanoff after the Sikovir Accords And follows her meeting up with her old Russian spy family kind of going on this revenge tour Against a bad guy that we didn't know about in Natasha's life But they kind of team up take down this bad guy and then the movie ends essentially with nothing except mattering except the end Credit scene essentially what black widow was trying to be and I was hoping it would and it did to an extent is Follow the same kind of lines and what winter soldier did which to be honest winter soldier is probably one of the best Marvel movies in the entire franchise because it's a spy movie Wrapped up in a superhero movie and they try to do the same thing with this film following and signing in the same veins of Some older James Bond movies as well as some of the Jason Bourne movies pretty much after the first half of the film Things kind of start to fall into that generality of every single Marvel movie in terms of that things have to happen because that's a checklist that Marvel movies have to follow and The bad guy gives this stereotype 15-minute goddamn monologue about what his evil plan is even while being interrupted by two Little twists from Natasha. He then keeps on having all these sub a-claws as to all of his evil plans and That's kind of brings me back to What this film has an issue with is that while it is a black widow movie Technically speaking, it's the family members Florence Pugh David Harbour and Rachel Weiss who actually give a character this to this film because Black widow has always been a secondary character for a reason. She has enough elements to be an interesting sub character But as a main character She doesn't really have that much pull maybe appeal But not pull in terms of a dramatic setting and that's why Florence Pugh Essentially carries this movie on her back because every time she's on screen you're having a fun time She has great witticism. She has great character. She has a lot of kind of tongue-in-cheek moments about the Marvel franchise as a whole especially with a black widow character and She just adds this Connection that the audience desperately needs and they don't get that from the main character David Harbour is a funny kind of interpretation of this red guardian character who is definitely hanging up on his glory days He's completely full of himself But he does have a bit of humility to him and Rachel Weiss is a very straightforward almost autistic sort of character in terms of how she addresses things which she is Then black widow is and she really gets a presence in this movie There's a few disappointments here and there mainly taskmaster being this kind of Predictable sort of character in terms of who they are but at the same time That's kind of what this movie falls into with the latter half of the film And it's not actually I would say the fault of the director Because I was reading a little bit of an article about how the original director who was going to direct this movie She wanted to direct Everything she wanted even to direct the final climax scene, but they said well where we've already pretty much Pre-shot that scene you don't have to worry about that you can just do the rest of the movie And she's like well no I want to shoot my movie if it's gonna be my movie And that's why she didn't work out and they went with this other director And you've got to kind of give her credit for that because you know you would want to Patty Jenkins Well, she didn't do that great of a job with Wonder Woman 1984 She did direct most of the original film except for the added climax scene But she did a decent job with that so to have this director not even get to get that credit I feel that's a little bit of taking away from the director Especially considering the movie starts off decently enough with a little bit of history about Natasha being the spy family in Ohio And then kind of how they fall into the black widow program But all the while you're kind of wanting there to be more of an entertaining movie in here And there's the even another reference to Budapest which a lot of people keep making the joke about how when she talks about it Kind of a halfway conversation That still sounds much more interesting than the movie we got It does sound a lot more interesting than the movie we got black widow doesn't have as many issues as it does having a Retention level in terms of keeping you engaged.  There's a lot more that are far worse than this movie But it definitely is one of the most boring. I enjoyed the character interactions More than any of the action scenes in this movie aside from the first one There's this one really Neat fight scene on a bridge with taskmaster and Scarlett which is a really good fight scene Everything after that is just so riddled with CG Like there's this one shot they keep showing of her landing on this weird panel thing in the sky You know, it's fake But it's just like what is happening here, but this was a spy movie It starts off with the kind of the groundedness of the Jason Bourne movies And then it ends on the absolute ridiculous high of die another day in terms of James Bond movies Black Widow is okay. I think that's pretty much the best way to describe it. It's a meh for me Maybe some might enjoy more than I did, but I find that it already had a Handicap to it with in terms of being a movie set in a period of time that you knew it didn't matter We already know what happens to this character We literally saw that two years ago to see a prequel movie that has Already kind of a definitive end to it. That's an issue and that's why again a lot of people are much more hoping for this Budapest movie, but they had to do this one so they could tie in to having Florence Pugh Essentially take over the Black Widow mantle and she's gonna be coming into the Hawkeye series if I'm correct But we'll have to wait and see how that goes, but in the end my final rating for Black Widow is a three out of seven It's okay ish That's pretty much it for me But then I knew this issue going in to face for Marvel is that the only ones I'm really interested in at this point Her doctor strange for the visual aspect and Sam Raimi directing Spider-man into the unit into like no way what's it no way home or whatever it is for the multiple universe thing and Maybe Shang-Chi because I want to see me some martial arts, but that's it Otherwise guys, I hope you enjoyed the video if you did leave a like and if you're interested in more subscribe Otherwise, see you guys next time.

Hey friends, welcome back to my channel. It is Drew here from Alone Fox and today I have such an exciting video because I have been wanting to collaborate with one of my favorite content creators here on YouTube with Wendy for so long We've actually been in talks of collaborating for probably over a year now We were gonna collaborate right before COVID hit when she came to Los Angeles However, just with our schedules and stuff it didn't end up working out and then COVID happened She lives in Canada all that form of stuff and today is finally the day where I am collaborating with with Wendy Hi, my name is Wendy here on YouTube known as with Wendy and on my channel. We do all sorts of DIY sewing Thrift flips making things from scratch There's a great place to start if you want to up your game and So some of your own clothes I definitely need to check her out and I will link her channel in the description box below because we also Created a second video over on her channel where she taught me a DIY skill that I have never done before and in today's video I am teaching her a DIY skill that she has never done before so it sounds pretty simple However, there's a very big twist We are only going to be able to listen to each other while creating these projects So I'm not gonna be able to see what Wendy is doing and she's not gonna be able to see what I am doing over on her channel And yes, we did take notes from the Bonapetit back-to-back chef. I absolutely love that series Wendy actually introduced me to it about a year ago when we came up with this concept I'm going to be sharing with her how to create a really cute simple macrame shelf I wanted something a little bit complex something that she can use power tools and also having to learn how to do macrame Just by hearing seems a little bit challenging. So we'll see how I do, but I guess we should honestly go ahead I'm going to call Wendy and we can jump right in Hi Wendy Oh my gosh, I'm so excited and also a little bit nervous about this because yeah, you made me whip out the drill I'm scared. I know. Yeah, you told me you're like I've never really whipped up the drill And I was like, okay, well, we're gonna be whipping out the drill today Currently we can see each other, but we're gonna lower the camera or lower the screen in a second to where we can't see each other And then I'm going to be teaching Wendy how to create a macrame hanging shelf basically Only audio.  Okay, lead the way true. Okay. Okay. Let me go and pull my screen down Okay, I'm gonna hide you Okay, so I know that your board is a little bit thicker than mine if you have a ruler Can you just tell me how wide your board is? Yes, even when it's a one by six. It's always shorter for some reason. I don't know why they call them Lies, it's just lies.  Does that make sense? So there's probably just gonna be one inch. Maybe draw a one inch line in from either edge That way we're drilling in the same section Okay, so this along the short edge. I'm gonna come in one inch. Yes Okay, I'm making my board Skinny.  Okay, so then we basically both have three and a half inch boards Even though yours is a little wider and we're gonna start by using our drill with a drill bit that will allow our macro Make cord to go through it keeping in mind that only one cord will go through your hole So you don't need it wide enough for two or anything like that Okay So just like probably about Half an half of an inch from either end. We're gonna want to drill Through this section, but you're gonna want six holes on either end Across your three and a half inch section that you drew. Does that make sense? Okay, so I take my three and a half inch section and I divide it into six holes Yes. No. How far in are the holes from the edge? Um, I probably did about like half of an inch. Lots of sawdust will be formed Okay, okay.  Okay one side correctly. I did One side correct. Your experience. It looks better this time and I didn't draw markings What the heck mine my sides look so bad. So now that we have our board now We're gonna paint our board whatever color you want to do I'm gonna do black. I'm gonna do matte black too. Matte black? Oh, I have a matte black as well. Yep, matte finish It's called noir Just make sure when you kind of go over your holes that you don't have a ton of paint on your brush So it's not like filling in your holes.  I Never get stir sticks. I just use the takeout chopsticks that come with food Wait Drew, I want you to tell me more about what you studied in school. Oh Yeah, okay, so So I actually applied I went to fit them the fashion Institute whoa in downtown Los Angeles Yes, and I applied actually to be a fashion designer like I wanted to be the one that Designed all the clothing. That's like what I wanted to do was fashion design Yes, but I kind of realized after I started that I just didn't I don't know I I wasn't as good of a sewer as I thought and like it just like I just I actually switched my major to be In product development, okay, which was more of the technical side So it was more of like creating tech packs and like doing all the measurements. I love making stuff That's my favorite thing like my first ever YouTube channel was a scrapbooking channel And I had I would make scrapbooks and cards and albums and like this and that and I always loved doing it And then I went to school and I wasn't able to bring all my supplies with me because I ended up like living in a dorm Basically, it didn't have any of my like any space, you know So then I started doing fashion because I was able to store clothing a little bit easier for me And it was fun at the time and but I always missed the creative element of everything because I of course you got DIY or clothing and stuff But I just like I wasn't really a fan of making clothes I more so liked making like decor and more crafty stuff, you know, yeah, so that's why I created Lone Fox Well, okay, so I guess we will break for a little bit I'll let you paint and then just message me when you're done painting and it's all dry and we can work on the next steps Okay, I'll do that. Okay. All right. Bye. Bye you for now All right guys, so we are back Our wood has now dried we added our paint to it and you're good Wendy on your side right as well Mm-hmm. I'm ready. Okay. So now we're gonna do the actual macrame part So we're gonna grab our macrame cord.   It doesn't matter. Basically, we're gonna be having both ends of one piece of the cording coming out of The two middle holes does that make sense like you might be able to just put it right through my Mesh rame cord is a little bit like It's not like woven very tightly So it's kind of like a yarn, you know where you think kind of like unravels as I work with it I'm like stabbing it through with a scissor. Okay, so you have it you have it through the two Center holes cracked with the strands coming upwards Okay, so then we're gonna cut two more pieces and cut these ones at about 10 feet in length You're gonna need two of them. So they're gonna go on the two ends This is so hard to explain Okay, basically the farther it is from the middle you want it to be taller Yes, because all the knotting is gonna be happening with the farthest out strands Does that make sense? So then the strands in the center are all just going to be like just there But all the knotting is gonna happen with the two strands Farthest out. This is my first macrame. Oh, really? I've never bought macrame cord before. I feel like this is something you so would have done before for some reason. I know I think maybe because of the tapestries and stuff I feel like you would have done something similar So now we're gonna start the macrame now There's only one knot that you have to do for the entire process and then it's just repetitive But it's really quick So you could honestly probably finish the shelf from now on in like an hour if you wanted to Okay, so you're gonna take your right strand the outermost right strand and then pass it over The top of the four so it's like laying over the top and you can imagine that Okay, and then you're gonna grab your left strand and go over the tail of your right strand and then underneath the four strands Does that make sense? Okay, I go the first the right one went over It's three left neighbors It should be it's four left neighbors You're gonna have your left strand your right strand and then the four center ones are kind of just gonna be together in a cluster Yeah, yeah, so then your right strand your right strand is gonna go You're gonna go over all four four center strands.  Yes you created. I have done this not before Yes, it's just it's basically a square knot So you're gonna do that that what you just sit right there and then you're going to reverse it Remember how we started with the right strand going over the top of the four Then you're gonna do the left strand over the top of the four the right strand then goes over the tail And then under the four and then up through the loop. Do I tighten this all the way to the No, okay, so what you should leave a little bit of space leave like two inches or so We're gonna be repeating this process But if you could imagine like once you pull this knot tight, it's gonna like kind of encapsulate those four center strands. Yes Then we're gonna create like puffy Knot section so if you could imagine like you creating another one of those knots but leaving like Some of the strand out so it kind of like creates a circle. Does that make sense? Okay, okay, so this is what we just did like once and then twice that counts as one finished No, that's yes That's one knot so that will hold securely there And then you're gonna do the same exact process again about maybe like an inch and a half or two inches down From the knot you just created but leave like Leave like a little bit of excess string in there so it fluffs out on the on the sides. Yeah Yeah, so then you're literally just going to be repeating that process Until you have the length of your shelf section and keep in mind that these macrame sections are gonna meet up in the middle the top middle Okay So you're gonna want them long enough to kind of it's gonna look kind of like a triangle Can you picture that like the board is the bottom and the strings on the left and right? Yes of the triangle perfect Wow, so then you're just gonna So it kind of creates almost like a circle There's like four strands in the middle and then your left and right strands are the Outside of the circle. Yeah, it's like an eight with four strings going down its middle Well, sorry because I've made two loops. It's an eight. Yeah, cuz see you're even ahead of me We're basically going to want to then connect this to The two sides once you're done macrame and then we'll be connected to that brass ring in the middle And that's what we'll then attach to the nail on the wall. Okay Okay Thanks for picking an easy one because I feel like this is a huge Confidence boost that it's going So well, yeah, I did not I was like it will be so hard to explain plus honestly I'm not the best macrame or like I know how to do simple macrame So I was like pull you a little simple macrame and if your loops aren't the same size either it doesn't matter But I try and I'm trying to make them look a little bit uniform that way me to you look fine And I think that this one is like if you're it's really easy to adjust the loop sizes Yes, exactly the same You know, I just made this up in my head like I did like this is just like something I thought would be like nice for this project. Love it You're dreaming in macrame. Oh, I don't exactly have a method for attaching this to the ring like It basically just needs to Be attached, you know what I mean? I feel like something that could be good is taking all six strands Maybe take all six strands and then wrap them around the ring leaving about an inch of Space From your last knot in the ring Okay, holding it over and then taking one of your longer strands and then wrapping it around all of the strands Does that make sense? Oh? So it kind of will like tightly like wrap all of those strands inside Of like a coil I'm cool with that. How do you finish it when you do it that way?  I think I can then yeah And then once that's all done that then you can cut I would probably glue it and then maybe leave it for a while let it dry and then just cut off all the tails Okay If you can imagine like pull your pull your ring up as if it was on the wall and then twist it Like how it would be hanging so you have to see how it kind of turns a little bit so that you could see those Circles so that's kind of gonna be the that's kind of what it's gonna look like as one side of the shelf. I Love it Yay, I mean so I guess that finishes off my project Then you would just basically repeat the same exact steps on the other side attach it to the ring And you would be done Mm-hmm. Cool. Okay. Well, then I guess that I'll let you work on this one off camera And then we'll face him tomorrow and I'll see what you created Okay, bye-bye Hi, Wendy. Oh my gosh, your background so pretty always. I love all those colors hanging there with your purple sweater I feel like you definitely like got this because I feel like when we talked last which was a couple of days ago You kind of understood all of the directions that I was giving which is great because I'd like Macramé could be a little bit challenging to teach I guess on just verbally like that's definitely something you need to see Which people always actually laugh at me in my videos when I say that because I'm like, okay You guys like I'm not gonna talk right now because you actually kind of just need to see what I'm doing because I have no idea How to explain it so that's whenever I do macramé. It's always like that That is exactly it. Uh-huh as you can see here. It's pretty self-explanatory, which is what I always say I want to see yours first. I guess Yes, I did the same. Oh My gosh yours looks so good. It looks so cute See your ring your ring is like that exactly what you created was what I was picturing in my head I actually like yours a lot more than mine And I'll show you what I mean. I'll show I'll show you mine right now. So you like so here's mine right here But see how the ring is just like it's just oversized looking It's just so it's just like a little too big like yours is the perfect size and mine's just a little bigger than I would want it to be Um, I feel like I feel like probably the best one would just to be put to put some command like mounting strips on the back side of that shelf piece Just so that like, you know what I mean Yes, yeah, I would probably put something like two or three of those just on that like Like the thin strip on the back just to make sure that it's like secured to the wall because I definitely feel like the weight can be held from the nail as long as you're not putting like Books and books and books on top of it. All right, you guys Well, I guess that's really all for today's video if you have not already checked out wendy. You must subscribe to her channel I'm sure a lot of you guys have already found her channel before because she creates such incredible videos and not only are your videos Like super informational.

I love it So everyone make sure to subscribe to wendy and also check out her video because she actually um over on her channel We did a or I guess we kind of did but she kind of also mainly did a full on entryway makeover Where I tried to recreate a project that she taught me how to create Virtually, I know All right. Well, thank you wendy so much for being on my channel today and I will see you hopefully soon I know Yes, whenever you come just let me know. I'll be here waiting patiently All right


It's now time for Member Statements. Member for Parkdale High Park. I rise today to bring the voices of the people of Parkdale High Park who overwhelmingly oppose Premier Ford's abusive power and reject his attempt to bully our city and our province. Premier Ford thinks he can do whatever he wants and places no value to the role of the judiciary in keeping the government in check. He has said repeatedly that he will not hesitate to use the notwithstanding clause again. I ask the Attorney General, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and the rest of the Conservative Cabinet and caucus who are complicit in this unprecedented abuse of power. Do you know what rights can be suspended using this clause? Let me tell you. The right to freedom of conscience, of religion, of thought and expression, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful assembly, the right to life, liberty and security of the person, the right to not be arbitrarily imprisoned, the right to counsel to a fair trial and the presumption of innocence and so on. Take a moment to think about the consequences of your actions. We are debating a bill that suspends our rights and freedoms when there are more pressing issues we need to deal with. We should be tackling the opioid crisis. We should be reversing the $330 million cut to mental health. We should be working to fix our crumbling schools. We should be debating the issues that the people of Ontario expect us to debate. It's a shame Premier Ford has only done the opposite so far. Member statements. Member for London Fanshawe. Speaker, I rise today to talk about a very important and significant issue that is before the Legislature, Bill 31 and the notwithstanding clause. The Conservative Government decided to use it as a sledgehammer to prioritize Premier Ford's agenda to mettle in the Toronto elections October 22, 2018. This government did not consult with the people of Toronto. The Conservative Government thinks it does not need to go to the people they represent and to experts to get their input and opinions on what, if any changes need to happen in the great city of Toronto. The Conservative Government called all members back to the Legislative Assembly on Sunday at midnight to debate Bill 31 because they believed that Justice Edward Balbaba erred when he ruled the Conservative Toronto elections bill violated the Charter of Rights. But what this Conservative Government did not expect was that the people of Toronto were here in the Legislature and on the grounds making their voices heard even though this Conservative Government does not believe in public input on Bill 31. The Premier and his MPPs have the gall to actually twist the intent of the notwithstanding clause to justify throwing the Toronto election into chaos so Premier Ford could get his way. Well, let me tell you that people have spoken. They rallied at midnight until 7am chanting We are the people. This is our house. All Conservative members can pretend that they know best when it comes time for the next election. The public will remember what you did. You casually discarded all the rights of Ontarians by using the notwithstanding clause to force your will on the people. Your day of reckoning will come when the people of Ontario have a chance to have their voices heard in 2022. Member Statements and Member for Oshawa. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker and I was proud to stand in this Legislature last night with colleagues from both sides on behalf of the people from Ontario specifically to speak about Bill 31. I was in the house from midnight and didn't have the chance to debate it the way I wanted to and had the opportunity to sit in the chair for many hours but I'd like to get some of the letters on the record. Constituents from Different Writings sent letters to me. I have one here from David Smith not the member David Smith. No, he didn't send me a letter. To the member from Durham, Miss Park. I empathize with you as a newly elected MPP that this should be a very exciting time for you yet you have found yourself hitched to Doug Ford's wagon which is focused on small-minded self-serving and vindictive legislation that has very little to do with the people of Ontario and everything to do with the Premier sticking it to his former colleagues in Toronto. I ask that you do right by the people of Durham and vote no to the trampling of our democratic rights and no to this bill. As a community leader it's your turn to take a stand for democracy to be on the right side of the sad chapter in Ontario's history. I have a letter to Dave Smith, to the member from Peterborough, Cawortha. I urge you to take action against your government and rescind your support of this bill with your experience in community hockey organizations. You, of all people, should know you can't change the rules in the middle of a game. Do the right thing. To the member from... I can't believe I'm out of time. My goodness, if I had more time I'm happy to share these with the members individually. Thank you. Thank you, Member Statements. The member for Ottawa or Lyon. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you. And share a little bit of what's going on in Orléans, actually. Last Friday I had the great privilege of serving and representing the writing of Orleans of Orléans. And last Friday night we had a gala. A gala to raise money for the veterans home. This is the first home of its kind that would be built. And it's an initiative with the multi-faith housing initiative. A few years ago they came to see the local federal member and myself and the city council to look for a way of recognizing the hard work of our veterans. The fact that they go to war and sometimes when they come back life has a different path for them. And one thing that we know is that unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, they are homeless. They served our countries. They go and fight our fight. And they come here and we have to take care of them. And this initiative actually was to raise money for this wonderful housing 40 units. That would actually help house veterans. And I look forward to certainly this project moving forward. And to be fair, Mr. Speaker, I may actually send a letter to the Minister of Infrastructure to see if this current government would like to support this wonderful initiative. Oh, and even actually the Minister of Municipal Affairs is welcoming the initiative. So we will be talking. But thank you very much and thank you to all our veterans, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Member Statements. Member for Brampton North. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As we all know, the court ruling came down stating that the Premier cannot cut down the size of the Toronto City Council in half. Invoking section 33 is messing with people's rights. People are not okay with this, Mr. Speaker. And I think that's why the courts are appalled. Even those who think the notwithstanding clause is a legitimate use of legislative prerogatives would say it should only be used should only be used in extreme or extraordinary circumstances where there's a war going on or an insurrection. The last time I checked, Mr. Speaker, I don't believe there was a war going on anywhere in southern Ontario. I could be wrong. Well, that is nothing new. The jurisdiction of the jury or in any cases, say the courts, they run amuck. In terms of that happening in enormous circumstances, but the courts have not run amuck. This is nothing new that we see here, Mr. Speaker. Now, you can like or dislike the judge's ruling, but we are talking about a fairly minor, a fairly minor measure to change the size of council. And remember, Mr. Speaker, that the court didn't say that you can't cut the size of council. They said that you can't do it in the middle of an election or when the election is about to be called. So, Mr. Speaker, there is no emergency and there's no need for this bill. Thank you. Member Statements.


Good morning, Cyber Traders! Welcome for Friday, the 14th of September. What's going on, guys? Good to see you, Michael, Donna, look at that. George, Neil, Steve, Amy, Ken, how you doing? Grant, all right. Listen, I want to make an announcement. There is a very big special day coming up, and I would have to say, I might have to share this with Ken, which is my birthday is coming up next week also. On the 18th of September. So I just want to remind everyone, you know, gifts always appreciated to thank you. Just kidding. Just wanted to kind of just remind everybody, looking forward to that date. It's funny because every time we usually, when I do it, I always have my on-site, but we moved our on-site event in September going into October. So I figure, yeah, lucky 18. That's what it is, Amy, lucky 18. And it's also on Yom Kippur, so it makes it even a bigger day. I know it's a very popular number in the Jewish religion too. But thank you very much, Lita. All right, so happy birthday to you. It's great to always share our birthdays with everyone. Best day of the year. Anyway, let's get right into it, guys. Let's talk about the NIO. First of all, NIO has been a phenomenal winner for all of us. We just did a tweet regarding about the NIO. I want to bring it up. This is my Twitter page, and I just want to kind of show you. We just tweeted this right here. You guys probably want to look at it. But these are everyone who made money on it. You could see that we traded in stock. And it was, you know, I tweeted it early in the morning. It was basically, you know, a stock that we kept looking at it. You could see all the great winners who did really well. We made $2 on a buck. Lita made $0.47. Bob made $0.40. Fernando, $0.47. Ron made $0.25. Benito with Fausto. He made about $7.50 on the swing. All right, thanks, Benito, for that. Benito's running with me. I still have it. Let me just bring it over here. I held the swing trade right now. I know it's getting beat up right now. But you know what? I got a $4,800 profit on this account. And then I got another $1,000 on my other accounts. But it was looking pretty nice this morning.  There's some things that you learned here at CTU, you know, what we focus on. But it was as high as like $14. I'm like, oh my God. Listen, this thing is a level five stock. So you got to be really, really, really careful with it. All right, Amy, you made money on it too. Ken made $2.50. Listen, I tried to get as many names as we can up there. I wasn't in charge of that. But we kind of want to share it, everyone, to show exactly what we're doing and making sugar. People always say, hey, you guys don't make money doing this. Or how did you find it and all this stuff? I'm like, hey, this is what we do all day. But anyway, this stock is going to be very, very volatile, very volatile. And that's the big thing you got to focus on. You got to be really careful with this NIO. I mean, it was a great story. I was reading up on it. Great story regarding about trying to compete with Tesla. It's a Chinese company. But listen, you like the Chinese.  You think it's competing. Listen, at the end of the day, we're here to make money. That's what's all that matters. I'm just a little disappointed right now. It's dropping because it's got to hold right around the 1150s. But it's got some nasty shakes. So just be prepared for it. Anyway, Chinese food is good, Ken. All right, anyway, there are a couple of stocks that are moving this morning. I do want to go out there and bring them up. Okay, it's just not the NIO. There's a lot of them that did move. But before we do that, there were a couple of really nice movers. First of all, the TLRY was a great move yesterday. You could see that was one. Listen, you know what? Could NIO be another TLRY? Well, it could. It's an IPO. But it is backing off. I know some of you guys did really well on it yesterday. Just wanted a big, a big shout out. Steve N made $15 trading TLRY. Let's get a TLRY. Let's give him a big round of applause. Way to go, Steve. Couple of the big ones that we had that was also moving GNC, a really nice level one stock. You could see that one from $3 to $380. That one did really well. The CGC was also great short, which by the way, I put it back on my short list. What an unbelievable short. Stock was down $10. I know some of you guys did really well on that one. And AMD, just everywhere. AMD was a lot of fun. Stock's been a great swing trade. But once again, you could also do the short on that too. And there you go. You could see how that one worked out pretty well too. So great moves across the board with all these stocks. We did really, really well. Now, it is Friday, guys. Now, remember, we know about Fridays. A lot of people don't like to come out with news going over the weekend. So usually, we'll get some form of a movement. We do have a couple of stocks. Actually, I got a few of them. But let's not get too cocky like we did yesterday. We did great yesterday in a lot of positions. So once again, we don't want to... When you hit those home runs like the CGC or the TLRY and NIO, once you start getting used to making $1,000, $4,000 a day, you make it, and if you're that $200, $300 trader, $500 trader, doesn't mean now you start focusing on trying to hit the big home runs. Listen, if you always thought you were going to go in front of the plate and try to hit a home run, you're going to strike out more than you're going to win. So just listen. It's going to happen. I told you guys when you became a student at Cybertrain University, it's not a matter if it's a matter of when you're going to get into these positions because we do it all the time. Some of you probably sitting there saying, oh, I missed the TLRY. Well, you know what? There was an NIO. There was also an ELFIN. We do this every single... You would get about two, three these a month. So if you missed the NIO, don't worry about it. There's going to be another one in the next couple of days. We get them all the time. So please be patient. But I know you guys are going to do better. Ken, why are you going to bring that up again?  Please. DRYS. Okay, just for you. I never haven't looked at it ever since. DRYS. Where is it now? I haven't looked at it in months. Yeah, there you go. Hate that stock. All right. So let's go through a couple of things faster. I am short today. You know, the trend is it's starting to go up. I wouldn't screw around too much with Amy with AMD right now. I would focus on some other stocks. AMD had a really, really good push. Went up very, very fast.  I wouldn't recommend you trade it. It's a little fast. All right. There's all the stocks out there we're going to trade that wouldn't do a lot better on. Okay. But let's see how it goes when it opens up. A couple of the ones like I told you, the CGC. This one, I would probably feel a little more comfortable shorting because of the trend. That's the only reason why, Amy. But this one had a big rally from 25 to 55. It looks like it's going to probably test the support levels right around the 40, which looks like it's doing. TLRY is on my watch list again. You know, that thing probably, I don't know. I was looking at his big shorts, big program trading on that one. Could be a huge algo short squeeze on that one. So I'm keeping an eye on that one. A couple of ones I did bring up earlier. The MGM, I don't know if some reason it showed up on my radar. I know there was something, wind was up a little bit. I'm just throwing it out there. I don't know. Keep an eye on it. I don't know what happened. But it looks like it started to make a little bit of a comeback. I don't know. Maybe not. AMD is already on there. PDD. That was awesome. Okay. PDD. That one was probably the nicest one that we trade. That was a lot better than I and O, NIO yesterday. That one, a lot of us did really, really well on that trade. That thing just went up really nice. I would like to keep an eye on it because you know what? The way it moved yesterday, I know a lot of us got out of it. And you could see good thing you did because you could buy it back cheaper. But let's see how it goes. That one was pretty cool. This is a typical stock that we trade. You could see how it had that big spike in the morning. This is where we make most of our money. You come back at 2.30. You got the 3 o'clock, 3.30 move. Boom, you're done. Stock goes from 27 to 30. I know you guys did awesome on that trade. So I'm putting that back on my watch list. CHK is another one that came up on my watch list. A little cheap little stock right here. Up 26%. Keep an eye on that Cherokee ink. I mean, that looks like it's got some good volatility, good movement, cheap little stock.  But this could be a nice little level one stock for a lot of you. YI. Okay, I want to keep an eye on this one. Another IPO came out. You know we're killing all the IPOs, right? So keep an eye on this YI. It opened up about two days ago and really didn't go anywhere. And you know, I don't know, maybe it's another, it could be another NIO. It could be another TLRY. A lot of people maybe spilling their money into something else. But let's keep an eye on this IO. Another IPO hasn't really moved yet. And we did with Sono, the speaker company. So let's see what happens with this one. I'm putting this on my watch list. A couple of nice shorts going on. And we all know whatever goes up comes down twice as fast. NNBR. Look at this baby. This one taking a huge hit. See if she's on your short list. This one keeps breaking lower lows. Only concern, guys. This is one of those five-cent spread stocks. Okay, so you've got to remember, you've got to learn that if you're one of our scalping students, you know exactly how to trade these. So be very careful with that five-cent spread right there. This one looks great on the short. And the PGTI. It's another one that came up on my radar as you're sure. It looks like it's building a little bit of a nice little falstil flag. Once again, another five-cent spread. So we got a couple of good shorts. I think I like the shorts. Trading the shorts more than long so far this morning. But once again, we are swing trading the NIO. So I'm going to keep an eye on that. Ben says the EWZ trade. You got a little good movement there. It's got good spread, good volume. Looks like it's holding some support levels after taking a hit. I would throw that in there. This is the Brazilian ETFs. The ETFs are doing pretty good the other day. They kind of slowed down. I don't know what's up with that. But let's keep an eye on that one. But good. He made about 20 cents. Give him a round of applause. All right. See, it's funny. We all make our money in pre-market. Isn't that great? A lot of this could be done right now and take off the rest of the weekend. All right. So guys, listen, great day so far. Great day yesterday. We killed it. But don't get too cocky because today is Friday. I just want to congratulate the IB guys for being here and who did really well on the NIO trade. I put that on a Twitter feed. Go out there, share with your friends. Retweet it. But you should be proud of it. You work very hard to get there. And hopefully everybody gets to realize that you want to make money.  Is that great? All right, guys. Listen, good luck, everybody. If I don't see you in the afternoon meeting, see you on the first thing Monday morning. All right. Congrats, guys. Good work so far. Let's do it again.


Cal OES logo quick look oesnews.com School is back in session and you know what that means. High school football season, a favorite time of year not just for the players but for the fans and communities too. You know what else is back? The heat. Triple digits have returned in many parts of California and it's safe to say it will be hot as the calendar flips into September. Temperatures up and down the state are expected to continue being hotter than normal in the upcoming days. We've already seen broken records and it looks like that trend will continue. Just to give you an idea of what to expect, get this. Friday Los Angeles will hit 104, San Diego and San Francisco will see 90, Fresno 107 and Sacramento is expected to be at 110. A temperature that has never been seen in September before. Despite extreme heat, high school football won't be on the sidelines. Athletes should take special precautions while playing and practicing when temperatures rise. One of the best ways to beat the heat, water. Folsom High School football knows the importance of drinking that H2O. When we have our water breaks, get yourself a splash of water. You know, if you get thirsty, go get it. Taking steps to stay safe in the heat isn't just for athletes. The rest of us need to take steps and be prepared to avoid the dangers of heat, whether we are at the local high school football game or another outdoor activity. Here are some heat quick tips. We can't stress this enough. Stay hydrated, especially those that work outdoors. Check on those that may be vulnerable to the heat. Look before you lock. Never leave kids or pets in vehicles unattended. If you're going to be active outside, drink lots of water, find shade, and limit strenuous activities to the extent possible. Also, familiarize yourself with the signs of heat stroke and heat exhaustion. Heat stroke, throbbing headache, no sweating, body temperature above 103 degrees, red hot dry skin, nausea or vomiting, rapid strong pulse, may lose consciousness. Call 9-1-1. Take immediate action to cool the person until help arrives. Weather.gov slash social media, weather.gov slash heat. Twitter at Sacramento OES, SacramentoReady.org.

Riders on their way out for the final race of the SGP series in 2022. We are here in the Marian Rose Motor Arena in Turin. It's the Four Nature Solutions FIM Speedway GP of Poland. And we have enjoyed it thoroughly. It has had thousands and thousands of people in here tonight. Terrific turnout once again.  And let's hope we have a fabulous conclusion to events here. I'm sure we will. We've got a terrific lineup. Top two in the world. Martin Vasilic fighting for his Grand Prix future. Matt Zajinovsky trying to re-establish himself. Going to finish in the top six now nicely. So that's a great move by him. Better in Melilla two weeks ago and much better again here tonight in Turin. So good news all around for those two riders in particular. Matt's been coming up to gate number four. Don't think he's going to be too excited about that, but you just never know. No, I don't think he's dreaming of making the start. I think he's just thinking about what's he going to do when he gets there last. OK, so on the inside is Bartosz Marslik in red. Martin Vasilic had a gate number two in blue. Matt Zajinovsky had a gate three in white. And Leon Mattzen out of gate number four in yellow. And I sense that if Leon can't get off the start and nobody's been able to do it in 22 races so far tonight, will he be able to pull off something pretty special? Wouldn't be the time to do it though, wouldn't it? Yeah, absolutely, yeah. The most important race of the night. Well, he's been up and down Leon Mattzen tonight. Started with a win, then a last, then a win, then a last, then a win. I mean, he's had an eventful night one way or another. He's had a crash. I mean, he certainly can still the line like Leon Mattzen, that's for sure. But there's no doubt Bartosz Marslik has really come on strong in his last reaction. So the final of the night, the conclusion of the SGP series here in Torren this evening. Green lights off, away we go, Martin Vasilic. Wow, what a start. The final absolutely nailed it. Bartosz Marslik coming through in second place. Here comes Leon Mattzen rushing through into third place with, you're not getting out the back. Leon Mattzen, how on earth did he move out of the way there? Certainly nearly collected the world champion on the way through. You're not keep farting his way back in the third place, wants to be on the podium tonight. But for Martin Vasilic, what a start, looking like a winner from there. He certainly is, he's not doing anything flash. He's just riding the right lines. He's got that bike set up absolutely perfect just to find the traction in ease. He's taking the shortest route around the inside. It's too far now around the fence. He knows that he's got Marslik now giving chase, taking even shorter route there. But I just can't see that he's going to find the way fast. Martin Vasilic down the back straight for the last time. In the final, what a night he's been for the Slovakian rider. He comes through there and flying. Carter's what a night for Martin Vasilic. Winter in Torren in 2022. What a way to finish a season. Congratulations to him. Carter's, Marslik back in second place. The world champion just could not do anything about Vasilic. And Leon Madsen and Yanovski battling hard with Yanovski. It's just about hanging on there. But what a night it's been for Martin Vasilic. Two-time Grand Prix winner in 2022. And what a way to finish. Wow, that was spectacular. He had that second place in Gorgeov as well, so it's a shame for him just picking up an injury at the wrong time has cost him dearly. It has indeed, but that's long forgotten right now. Clearly delighted with that. Conditions were right. Best man on the night. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, rider of the night. And he's been rock solid. And when it really mattered, he backed himself here. Gate two in the semi-final, gate two in the final. Even with the world champion, he knew the champion was going to be alongside him and absolutely roared into the first corner. As a result of the final then, Vasilic wins in fine start out in front. Smarslik back in second place. Leon Madsen just about stealing third place off of Madsen Yanovski. He'll be a bit disappointed not to be on the podium tonight. So we've got the top two in the world in second and third. And Martin Vasilic, a terrific win for him. And you've got to believe he has every chance of being a Grand Prix rider next year now. Yeah, so I would think so. I think he's done enough to show the organisers that he deserves that place. And easily the best rider tonight. Most consistent rider doing everything right, backing himself to make the starts off gate two. Even allowing a three-time world champion to come off the inside gate. But no, fantastic display. And I've got to say with Smarslik and Yanovski in the final, this Polish crowd would have expected a home win. That man there had other ideas. They broke their hearts with that start, that's for sure. And clearly absolutely delighted. And rightly so, it's been a tough time. He has been injury prone in recent seasons. He tends to pick up and ask the injury at some point. But so shows great character and grit and determination. Let's just watch this start again. Yeah, he did everything right, just rawred away. He knew he'd got to come across Smarslik, but he was so far ahead of Smarslik, it really didn't matter at that point. And a big scrap going on at the back, the third and four from the place on the podium. But no, that was an absolutely perfectly work start from the rider in blue there, Martin Vashrik just got the bike launching from the start. The clutch set up and his composure, stature on the bike just saying it all just smooth. Doesn't even feel like he needs to go and find any grip. He just rides around the shortest route. That was tight, wasn't it? You actually picked up on that early on in the race. Scared me. It did indeed. Yeah, took your breath away for a moment. But there's no doubt that Leon Madsen did very well to make the podium from gate number four. Yanovsky will be disappointed to have missed out. He looked like a potential winner earlier on. He will see the battle for third place later on in the race. And Madsen coming through, but that man out in front. I've seen him do this before, so have you. And there's no doubt when he got that starting ability and he really absolutely jet-propelled away, his confidence just builds and builds and builds. And then to have that confidence to take on the world champion and the world number two back himself. I've got to believe that's going to prove to be decisive in the outcome of the wildcards. It's always about confidence. It's the same with that man as any other speedway rider. And when he knows the setup's right, the bike's right, works. Yeah, so a brilliant nada speedway here in the Marion Rose Motor Arena tonight. Been a pleasure to be here, that's for sure. So here's the points that are handed out for the winners and losers tonight. 20 big points for Martin Vasilek, 18 for Schmarzlik, Leon Madsen on 16, Matzey and obviously 40. Mikkelsen, that's a good performance from him. 12, Lingwin 11, Lebedevs 10, Buley 9, Casparina 8, and so on and so on. The overall standings, of course, are going to be absolutely crucial now because we want to know who's third. So we will have them for you right now so we can see exactly what is the conclusion of this championship. And Mianowski, wow, unbelievable. That is quite a dramatic turnaround where he has charged into third place. World champion Schmarzlik, Leon Madsen, silver medal for him. A bronze from Matzey Mianowski. I can't quite believe that. And Frederick Lingwin in fourth, Robert Lambert in fifth. He's guaranteed for next year. Damn, Guley already was. Patrick Dudek, wow, slips out of the top six, but you've just got to believe that he's going to be reliant on a pick for next year. Matzey Mianowski's performance, I've got to say, and a medal. It was looking so unlikely for so long that is quite a staggering result. Yeah, we were only saying a couple of rounds ago that we couldn't see how he was going to, with his current form, stay inside the top six. Patrick Dudek looked like he was easily going to do that and was fighting for a medal. And well, damn Guley's in, so that means that the injured Max Strick now will also qualify. Absolutely. So we've got Jack Holder as well in the Grand Prix series next year as a courtesy of his performance in Glasgow in the GP Challenge, but that's for later on. But after Schmarzlik, just his new changing room on the centre green there. So I'm quite happy to do a brand new suit on for the presentations. And he will be involved, of course, on two occasions. He'll be on the podium for the results tonight, and of course the winner of the championship itself. As I say, just while we're waiting for the riders to get themselves together, great night of Springway. I think possibly the best Grand Prix all year. Yeah, it was a nice way to finish and the Torrent Circuit never disappoints. It gives us great racing every single time. It does indeed, and it is a superb stadium. And it is often the conclusion of the series. We have been down in Australia, of course, where we've seen the Speedway season finish. And in fact, Jason Dall actually won his world championship in Australia in Melbourne. We'll wait and see. But riders now coming forward, we will have an extensive presentation for you this evening. So please stay with us. So let's get some reaction now. Scott Nichols is out on the centre green. And he's got tonight's winner with him, and that's Martin Vashalik. Yeah, your final round in 2022 winner, Martin Vashalik. Martin, you started the night off superbly and you finished off exactly the same way. Yeah, I'm very happy really. It's an amazing feeling winning the Grand Prix. So I'm very happy right now. And yeah, what a finish season with the first place. So yeah, I'm very happy. And also the same way I would like to congratulate all the boys who win the medals this year. And yeah, just well done boys. Yeah, I know you would want to be fighting for a medal, but obviously injuries hit you again this year. And you're possibly relying on that wild card now, but no better way to put yourself in that shot window. Two wins in the calendar, a second place as well. So it looks set to be back in 2023. We'll see what happens in the future, but anyway, if I want to be in a Grand Prix, I will do my best to fight for the medal. So this is my dream and I will go for it. Let's hope those dreams continue to come true and well done tonight. Thank you. Thank you very much. Yeah, smashing effort for Martin Vashalik.


Good evening and welcome to the Amherst Weekly Report from Amherst Media. I'm Claire Healy and here are the stories today out of Amherst, Massachusetts. The Jones Library in Amherst received approval for an outdoor tent from the Amherst Planning Board on Wednesday, September 16th for an outdoor public technology project. The sheltering tent would provide internet access to Amherst area residents at outdoor socially distanced computer stations. The Jones Library's goal is to continue to serve as a point of connectivity for residents who don't have internet access at home. We spoke with Matthew Burby, head of information services at the Jones Library about the project. We hope to have a tent out on the front lawn of the Jones Library soon that will offer somewhere between, you know, six to ten socially distanced computer stations under it, as well as some staff assistance from folks on my reference team who would normally be the folks offering the assistance in the library. We're hustling because we really, we recognize A, that, you know, this is a need that has been out there and been pressing for folks for a while. And B, being an outdoor operation, you know, we're going to run into weather problems, you know, presumably. And we are hoping to, we're hoping to run this, you know, through the fall for as long as the weather allows. And then, again, if it's proving to be useful and the demand is there, we're going to try our best to keep offering it for as long as we can. Currently, the library is offering outdoor holds and pickups for books and DVDs. Holds can be placed online or by phone, and residents will be contacted when the materials are available for pickup. The library also provides a print from home service, allowing people to submit up to ten pages per day for free printing. To learn more about library services during the pandemic, visit the Jones Library website or call their reference line. The University of Massachusetts Amherst has agreed to guarantee no layoffs through January 2021 after tense negotiations between the university, the professional staff union, and the university staff association. The PSU and USA alleged that the university had threatened to lay off a combined 450 employees if they did not agree to the university's then proposal. The Amherst town council submitted a letter to Chancellor Kumball Subhaswamy expressing their concerns about the layoffs and furloughs and their impact on the Amherst community. In a message to the campus community from Chancellor Subhaswamy Wednesday afternoon, the chancellor announced updated specifics regarding workplace reductions. He said that the adjusted plan was to place 140 employees on indefinite furlough, reduce the hours of another 60 employees, and have all other PSU, USA, and non-unit employees take 10 days of furlough between October and December of this year. In this message, he also announced a hiring freeze, among other changes. Thursday evening, Amherst's CDBG advisory committee held a public hearing. CDBG stands for Community Development Block Grant Funds and the Massachusetts Department of Housing and Community Development designated Amherst eligible for these funds. CDBG funds support housing community development projects and social services and activities that benefit low and moderate income citizens. In the meeting, the public hearing reviewed ongoing activities from 2018 and 2019 grants as well as the priorities for 2021 grants. On the agenda for 2018 and 2019 activities to review were the ADA self-evaluation and transition plan, the East Hadley Road multi-use path, pre-development funding for Valley CDC, the Amherst Survival Center Food Pantry, Family Outreach of Amherst Housing Stabilization, the Literacy Project Adult Education, Center for New Americans English Classes, and Big Brothers Big Sisters Youth Mentoring. For 2021, they listed as application priorities on the agenda, social services, non-social services such as housing and public infrastructure, and targeting areas and neighborhoods where non-social services can take place. Next, following up on a previous story about Amherst schools going online, the Amherst Pelham Education Association has released a statement clarifying their stance on the opening plan. In the statement, they wanted to clarify what they said were two pieces of amiss information. The first of which was that, quote, the APEA does not want remote learning to be like it was last spring. And they pointed to distance learning improvement plans made over the summer and submitted to the school committee as evidence of plans for remote learning to be different than it was. The second clarification was that, quote, the APEA tentatively accepted the district's proposed phase model back in August. Next, Amherst announced that it will join the national group GARE, which stands for the Government Alliance on Race and Equity. Amherst town manager Paul Backelman sent a memo to the town displaying this as part of larger steps the town hopes to take towards racial equity. The town has announced its intentions to work with the Racial Equity Task Force and DFUN 413 towards promoting more racial equity initiatives in Amherst. One recent move to that end is Backelman's announcement that activist groups like DFUN 413 will help him vet candidates for a committee to review police practices. He had suggested in a memo, September 13th, the creation of this interview team to vet candidates for this committee and invited DFUN 413 and the Racial Equity Task Force to nominate an Amherst resident to sit on that interview team. And finally, Amherst residents may have noticed hazy skies and a particularly red sun these past few days. Forecasters have attributed this to smoke reaching the east coast from fires in California and said that smoke particles are what give the sun the bright red appearance. Air quality here is still at decent levels, as opposed to the hazardous levels it's reached in the west coast. New England residents will only continue to see this red sun and hazy skies for maybe a couple more days, and forecasters said we will avoid any more intense sky discoloration. That's all for this week. Thank you so much for tuning in to the Amherst Weekly Report with Amherst Media. We hope you have a wonderful weekend and you can join us at the same time next week.


Hi, this is Dr. Don. I have a problem out of chapter four, probability distributions. And this one we're told that 23% of students say they use credit cards because of a rewards program. You randomly select 10 students and ask them the name of the reason they use credit cards and then find the probability that the number of students who say they use credit cards because of their rewards program is exactly two, more than two, between two and five. Well, this is a binomial because we're given a proportion, 23%. And when we ask students and if we're interested in only if they use because of their rewards program then it's either, it's a yes or no, success or failure, so it's a binomial. So the easiest way to do this is to use stat crunch. I've got stat crunch open over here.  We need to enter our n, which is 10, we're okay there. Our p this time is 0.23, 23%. First question is a probability of two, so I'm going to enter two there and we want exactly two, so I look for the equal sign and I get 0.294 rounding to three decimals, which is the answer that went over here. The next problem is probability of greater than two. I've got two in there already so I'm just going to click on the drop down, find my greater than symbol and see that's 0.414 rounding to three decimal places, which is the answer there. Finally, it's between two and five and clues, which means we include two and we include five. So I go to my between calculator and I enter two and five and hit compute and I get a probability of 0.695, which is the answer they want here and you can see that this is the discrete two, three, four, five bars are read. So I hope this helps and if it does help, please consider subscribing to my YouTube channel, the stats files. Just click on the big red button.
