I don't have to explain to people in Jamesville what happened to the GM plant here in 2008 and how many thousands of workers, lives, and families were impacted, how many people had to leave the community. But also here in Wisconsin, as all of you know, in 1996, Johnson Control shut down its Bruce City valve plant in Milwaukee, moved to Mexico, where they paid workers there 72 cents an hour. Last year, Johnson Controls, through another 277 workers in Milwaukee out on the street, moved to Mexico, China, and Slovakia, even though this company was making record-breaking profits, and that's the point to be made. As often as not, these guys are already making good profits here in the United States. You know, and it's just the question of making more money by moving abroad. Briggs and Stratton was Wisconsin's largest private employer with 11,000 manufacturing workers. Today, it only has 2,500 workers in Wisconsin after it moved plants to Mexico and China. Master Lock and Tower Automotive now employ more workers in Mexico than Wisconsin. And Rockwell Automation has slashed its Union workforce in Milwaukee from 6,000 down to just 300 as it moved plants to Mexico, China, and the Dominican Republic. That is the story of disastrous trade policies. And not only have these trade policies cost us millions of jobs, they have done something else that we don't talk about very much, and that has helped us into the race to the bottom. You know what I mean by that? You take a look at the automobile industry. There's some discussion. We are gaining jobs, new manufacturing jobs in automobiles and in other areas. That's good news. But what they forget to tell you is the wages of the new jobs are significantly lower than what the wages used to be. So you've got an older worker working alongside of a younger worker, and that younger worker may be making 50% of what the older worker made. And the reason for that, and I'll tell you another story, in Louisville, Kentucky, I think it was the New York Times, in Louisville, General Electric was expanding its manufacturing. And somebody said to the guy, how come you're coming back into Kentucky here and why are you expanding manufacturing? The guy said, well, look, we've looked at all of the numbers and because wages are going down so much in the United States, we can hire people in manufacturing now for whatever it was, 11, 12 bucks an hour. Workers here are more productive than in China. You don't have to worry about transporting from China. So it pays to grow in Kentucky. Point is that our wages now are catching up to China's. That is not the direction we want to go in. All right, so what we have got to do is create an entire economic program that works for the middle class. We should not see a shrinking middle class, a disappearing middle class. Yes, the very good news is the economy today is better than it was when George W. Bush left office and we were losing 800,000 jobs a month. But we have got to stop this shrinking of the American middle class. We're real wages. You know why people are angry out there? They are angry because they are working longer hours for lower wages. They have a right to be angry. They're angry because they're working two or three jobs to make a living. They've got a right to be angry.  What kind of jobs are going to be available for the younger generation? Which, by the way, if we don't change this economy, this younger generation for the first time in the modern history of America will have a lower standard of living than their parents. That is the American dream in reverse. We cannot allow that to happen. And we will not allow that to happen. So let me just, and by the way, without being too political this morning, let me, oh yeah, I forgot I am running for president. Yeah, all right. All right, let me be political. On the issues of trade, Secretary Clinton and I have very, very different perspectives. I have voted against and worked against and led the opposition against every one of these disastrous trade agreements. Secretary Clinton has supported virtually every one of these trade agreements. And I'm glad that she's going around the country talking about the need for more manufacturing. Well, that's a great idea, but maybe she should have been there 20 or 30 years ago when we started hemorrhaging manufacturing jobs in this country largely because of a disastrous trade policy.

They are Articulated which means they kind of wiggle Not like on their own, but if you take it it wiggles if that makes sense This is the measurements and you can see here what they look like against a natural Like skin tone as opposed to like a white background I just think it shows the detail of the item and also the dimensions I think it shows better on my hand now I'd like to know your thoughts on this I've asked this before and most people agree.

This one is not super old, but this A sash another vest Um was in a bag at a thrift store And I think it was three dollars if I remember correctly and I was like Three dollar gamble well, there ended up being a like stack of other patches that weren't even girl scout related tucked inside the bag.

It was back when she first started I made so much money on this box. I actually have a video showing you everything I got in the box, but um This one hung around a while I had it priced probably a little higher than I should have but I was waiting on the right buyer And I think I had an offer early on that I probably should have taken but it came in so early that I was like Oh, I'm gonna hold off And I think I should have took it but I ended up taking a best offer of 25 dollars and the buyer paid shipping I got the entire box full of stuff for 25 dollars free shipping I made my money back on this one item everything else was profit So, um, you'll have to search back quite a bit on my channel to see that video, but you should definitely go check it out All right, there's vintage small soldiers.

Previously, I profiled a paper that added up all the deaths caused by medical care in this country, the 100,000 deaths from medication side effects, plus all the deaths caused by errors, etc., concluding that the third leading cause of death in America was the American medical system. What was the medical community's reaction to this revelation? After all, it was published in one of the most prestigious medical journals, the Journal of the American Medical Association, by one of our most prestigious physicians, Barbara Starfield, who literally wrote the book on primary care. When she was asked in an interview what the response was, she replied that her primary care work has been widely embraced, but her findings on how harmful and ineffective healthcare could be received almost no attention. Recalling the dark dystopia of George Orwell's 1984, where awkward facts are swallowed up by the memory hole, as if they never existed at all, report after report has come out, and the response has been a deafening silence, both indeed and in word, failing to even openly discuss the problem, leading to thousands of deaths. We can't just keep putting out reports, we have to do something. The first report was in 1978, suggesting about 120,000 preventable hospital deaths. The response? Silence for another 16 years, until this scathing reminder was published. If you multiply 120,000 by those 16 years, you get 1.9 million preventable deaths, about which there was near total doctor silence. Silence meaning no substantial effort to reduce the number of those deaths. The Institute of Medicine then released its landmark study in 1999, allowing for another 600,000 deaths to take place. Now, some things have finally changed. Work-hour limits were instituted for medical trainees. Interns and residents could no longer be worked more than, you know, 80 hours a week, at least on paper, and the shifts couldn't be longer than 30 hours long. I may not sound like a big step, but when I started my internship, I was working 36-hour shifts every three days, so that's 117-hour work weeks. What's the big deal? Well, when interns and residents are forced to pull all-nighters, they make 36% more serious medical errors, five times more diagnostic errors, and have twice as many attentional failures. That doesn't sound so bad until you realize that means like nodding off during surgery. The patient is supposed to be asleep during surgery, not the surgeon. Impairing performance as much as a blood alcohol level that would have been making it, made it illegal to drive a car, but can still do surgery. So no surprise, 300% more patient deaths. Residents consider themselves lucky. They get through training without killing anyone. Not that the family would ever find out. Doctors, with rare exceptions, are unaccountable for their actions. The Institution of Medicine, Institute of Medicine, the report did break the silence and prompted widespread promises of change, but what they did not do is act as if they really believed their own findings. For if they really believed that a minimum of 120 people every day were dying preventable deaths in hospitals, you'd draw a line in the sand, like if an airliner was crashing every day, you'd expect the FAA would step in and do something. The Institute of Medicine could insistently demand that doctors and hospitals immediately adopt at least a minimum set of preventable practices, like, for example, bar-coding drugs, so there's no mix-ups, like they do for even a pack of Twinkies at the grocery store. Rather than just going on to write another report, they could bluntly warn colleagues that they would publicly censor those who resisted implementing these minimum practices, calling for some kind of stringent sanctions, but instead we get the silence. Dr. Starfield didn't stay silent, but she is, unfortunately, no longer with us. Ironically, she may have died from one of the adverse drug reactions she so vociferously warned us about. She was placed on aspirin and a blood thinner, plavix, to keep a stent she had placed in her coronary artery from clogging up. She told her cardiology she was bruising more, bleeding longer, but that's the risk you hope doesn't outweigh the benefits until she apparently hit her head while swimming and bled into her brain. Now the question for me is not whether she should have been on two blood thinners for that long, or had the stent inserted in the first place, but whether or not she could have avoided the heart disease in the first place, which is 96% avoidable in women. The number one killer of women need almost never happen.


All week that this was going to be a prize fight. It was going to be a heavyweight street showdown. How do you describe this game? Man, it was good, man. They got a good front. They got some good players on their side. They got a good defense. But you got to play on all phases. And I think we did that today. Like we always say, bend on break. Or if something happened on the offense, we need to just step up on the defense. And I think we did that this game. For the second straight week, one of your young defensive backs ends the game with an interception. We got Richie last week, a couple of lockers over. As you can hear, D-Out for this time. How good is that to see? Man, good, man. Any time the young boys can go out here and end the game, that's what we kind of do on defense. We always say, let's stand up. And that's what we did. That's two weeks in a row that the defense has to stand up. We have some young guys do it again. Man, it feels good to go out here and get to in a row. Look, you're on the sideline doing your thing. You guys are talking with coaches looking at film. But did you notice how you guys were running the ball? You had a 10-play touchdown drive. All rushes. I mean, did you guys pay attention? Did that get you fired up? For sure. For sure. We definitely pay attention. Hunt was running the ball hard, man. The old line was blocking hard. And that's what you need. You can get those 10 plays and run some clock off. It came up big for us. You guys have had four games. All four of them have come right down to the last possession. I mean, what's it been like and what's it like now to have put two in a row in the wincom? And that's how it goes. If you look around and leave, man, the games are one by seven or less, majority of the time. I've probably been in league 11 years. Probably like 95% of my games would come down to seven points or less. And you just want to be on the right side of that. And that's what we did the last two games. We've been on the right side of it. Last question for you after a physical game like this, when they got some big receivers, everybody's getting in there in the run game, you're going to feel a little more tomorrow after one like this? Yeah, we're going to feel it a little bit. But after a win, you're going to feel it as much. It takes all 11 from the receivers to the backs to the tight ends and us up front. So it's just a great team effort to go out there and be that efficient running. You had that drive that ended with the Caleb's rushing touchdown, 10 plays, all running plays. What's that like for you? It's a great feeling. Just staying on track in the downs. Those guys were running hard. And like I said, it takes all 11. And there was belief in what we do. And I think that showed. Take us inside the huddle, though.  Are you guys kind of looking at each other? Like, all right, we're doing something here? Yeah, for sure. And I think we knew that we, you know, I forget what the score was at the time, but we knew we had to go down and put points on the board. And just really, there was belief in the huddle that, and as soon as you start stacking those, it's easier. And you can see it more. But every single guy really had faith in what we were doing and came out and really attacked it. We heard from Arthur all week this was going to be a heavyweight fight. How did he get that across to you guys?  How'd he instill that in you guys? I think it's just the identity of what we want to be about that as a team. And I think he started this last year when he got here and then built it through this season. And I think we're really starting to embrace the identity as a team. What is that identity you want to show? Is it rushing yards? Is it toughness? Is it physicality? Just the style of play, we just want to come out, play hard, work hard, be, you know, a Simon sound on every single snap. And I think we have that. Again, it's truly a team effort and takes all 11 to run the ball. You guys have had two in a row now, close games, but all four of your games have come right down to the last possession. What's that been like and how good has it been to now put two in a row in the wing call? It's an incredible feeling. The defense played outstanding. And it was so awesome to watch them go out there and make a play.  He earns that every day and went out there and made a great play and then followed it up. I mean, it was a great job by our defense. Last question for you, Chris, is, you know, C.P. does it every week. Tyler's been doing it now to see a young guy, Caleb, get involved. What's it been like to see so many running backs having so much success behind you guys? It's inspiring to watch those guys run. Those guys run hard. They work hard every single day. The finishing that guys have at the top of runs, from skill guys to offensive line, trying to push the pile. And those guys just running hard. It's really awesome to be a partner. What's your legacy when you guys were running it all like that? What's that in line for? Well, it's just a group effort. All week, we've been trying to establish the line of scrimmage and that's just something we've been working on now. And we came out here short today.   I mean, we knew it was going to be a four-quarter fight. So, you know, we had that mindset all week, which it is every week. But just going out there, keep fighting to the end and then cool, put it up, put it through and then, you know, we got the win. And what did you say about your defense for the second week in a row that go out and close it out before you got it? I mean, we all work together. So, offense helps defense, defense helps the offense.  So, for all of us to put together a complete game, I feel like that was a good job. What was it like on the sidelines when Grady got the sack and then when Dee got the pick? Oh, I mean, that's awesome. Everybody was jumping for joy. I mean, you know, those two great playmakers in, it was a great season. Thanks, Kyle. Well, it looked like Coach Ragon kind of got the offense together somewhere in that third quarter. What was the message at that point? To just go back to the basics and the fundamentals, to just keep playing our game and grind out the win. Kyle, just two and two. I mean, you guys, a couple of, a couple of plays, a couple of situations away from being really rewind, even, or what not.  I mean, in this locker room, we know who we are. So, you know, we go out each week, you know, with where in my, what we're talking about in our team room and just working, keeping our head down and just going for it. I just think, you should just drag the guy, just drag the guy and just trust my rules, trust my rules and then just, couldn't do without the O-line and the receivers blocking. So, you know, that's a 111, you know, all 11 team, all 11 driver right there. And what about the group? You, Caleb, even Avery got a run in there. What does it say about the group that y'all were able to put up 200 again today? Yeah. Yeah, I just thought we all just fed off each other.  So I think that's a big, like, big thing in our room. Thank you. We heard all we from Arthur and from everybody. It was gonna be a heavy weight to fight and all that stuff. How'd they get that across to you guys? Or you got, you just put it up on the board, you watched boxing clips, like how'd he get across to you guys if this was gonna be this kind of physical game? No, shoot, you know, we got a lot of, like, we got heard a lot of news articles, like, we got them, got like their, their run game, like their run game, like on our boards and stuff. So, you know, we just got, had just, we're just, fudge, sorry, we just had, we were just ready, ready. We knew it was gonna be a physical game. So I think we just freaking strapped our helmets up and then just freaking got it done. I mean, you guys came in with one of the best rushing attacks. Did you guys as running backs, look at them getting all the hype and kind of feed off that? I would say, yeah, we fed off it, but didn't keep it, like, we just, we just got to do what we do, like stats or whatever, but we just need to do what we do and just play all of them football. How do you describe this kind of game? Just the physicality? Like, how does a football player describe this kind of game? Yeah, sure, it's, I'm not sure. Yeah, you know, I think that was just, it was just a game that we needed to win and then we ended up getting the job done. Chris, let's go a minute ago, said this is an identity game, you know, to kind of show the identity guys, do you guys agree or do you agree and what kind of identity are you guys trying to show with this kind of game?  Looks like like you see Caleb start rolling like that. Once that happened, that's what you guys were going to rip off.  I think that's what shows like for our group, you know, either if someone has like individual success, you know, we're all just hyped up for him and all that. You guys recognize what Mike, you guys have run? It's fun. It's fun, you know, it makes the game fun. That's what we do. You know, it's rewarding to us because that's how we practice every day, man. You know, we bring it every day to practice and we prepare to play like that. So it's fun when we actually get to do that in the game. Who's that second? Did you have any signal, signifying before the game that that might be able to happen? No, not really.  Where does that feel like up front when y'all get it rolling?  Yeah, you know, it just feels like we're all in sync. It feels like, you know, everything is paying off that we practice for all week. And it feels good, man. Like I said to him, you know, it makes it feel fun. It's fun to us when we get to go out there and run for 200 yards and, you know, put the team on our backs. What was the sideline like when Grady got the sack there and then when you got the pick at the end? Oh, man, it was electrifying. I think I was miked up, so you could probably hear me screaming. You could probably hear my voice right now, a little hoarse, but I was screaming at the top of my lungs, oh, yeah, Grady, yeah, Grady. Then Dee got the pick, you know, and he fought through the adversity. He let up a play early in the game, and, you know, he kept pressing, kept pressing, kept pressing. And look, he's rewarded with a pick, and that's how we work. So I think that that's, you know, a credit to what we do every single day when we come to work and just it shows, you know. What does this say for the season, you know, two-on-two going to Tampa Bay, you know, some people said I wasn't going to win, but two games, so... What do you say to those folks, the two-win people? I can't speak for everybody else, but, you know, the way that I look at it, you know, we want to know this week. It's a new week next week. We kind of work every week, and we come to be wanting to know. So that's how you got to approach this game, you know, every single day, every single week, you know, day by day, week by week, game by game, just taking one step at a time and see where we're at and then. What was that 10-play, all-rushing-place, touchdown drive-lay? It was satisfying, you know. Not only, I hope to the rest of the line, but to me, because like I said, you know, that's how we work and, you know, just the conditioning we do and just everything. You just, you felt it. You see them tired, gasping for air. You see us, you know, huddling up and running to the ball. You know, it's very satisfying to see the work paying off. So, I mean, you're mic'd up, so we'll find out eventually this week. Oh, yo, yeah, yo, you'll hear it, yeah, you'll hear it. Inside the huddle on those drives, right, is Marcus just calling out the plays, or does he have a message for you guys, especially you guys up front, what you were doing to continue it?     I call that, yeah, I call that a heavyweight fight, man, and I think we came out on top. Absolutely, man, so happy for that boy, man. He been working hard, bro, a tired count, and he forgot to finish it out for us today. It was a good day. What does it say about this defense? Not just the interception, Grady, Sack, and second straight week, again, you guys lock it down at the end when the other team has a chance to do something. Told you, we fighting, bro. Like, you gotta believe those words, man, we fighting. I think the team believes it and we believe in each other, so when we're getting those moments, we're just going back to the basics, our training, believing in it, and then we're producing. We talked to you during the week. We knew, you knew, everybody knew that Cleveland was gonna come in, try to pound the ball, try to run it. How do you guys feel you handled that today?   They had a couple breaks, 27, 24, but at the end of the day, I think, I think I D-line did a hell of a job at Lion Becker's. What kind of mentality does it take out of all 11, though, because you were involved in a lot of those as well?  We got to mix a little bit.  Hey, man, I'm so happy, bro.  All the fans, they came and did what they wanted to do. Defense came and we did what we had to do, and we got the W. What did you learn about this team, this game, and the last one as well, to be able to come out, close out the game on defense? Just say belief, man. Belief in our training, belief in our coaching, belief in the scheme, belief in each other. That's what's giving us that push to go out there and finish these games like this. One of the other key things you guys did today was really limit them on third down. How much of that was an emphasis for you guys and how much pride do you take in that? They were five for 14 on third down. Five for 14, ooh.  I'm real proud I got three for 15. Or five for 15, he said. That is not what I expected, but that's a hell of a job. You guys really had some stands there against them, right? And you force a fumble there inside the five in the first half. They get the ball after the interception on quick change, you hold them to a field goal. They get first and goal at the one. You hold them to a field goal. How were you guys able to do that to really kind of bend but don't break, I guess? Like I said, we're just believing in our trainer, man.  But like you said, no situation. I think it was just believing in our trainer, man. Simple as that. Last thing for a man, two and two after the first two games. Each and every game came down to the very last possession. What are you looking for going forward? Where does this team go from here? Want to know next week. LA, it was like, it was kind of discouraged because he wasn't getting a lot of play time but I was like, bro, just stick with it. Keep grinding. We built for this. Me and him, both come from the south side so things could get kind of hard but we here and I was like, it's only a matter of time and when it was his time, he made his play. I'm proud of him. You said he's been getting frustrated. What was that like for you when you've been on the practice squad and all of a sudden the second half, they're like, go ahead, go run the ball. I was just ready for my opportunity. Like I told the guys earlier, I practiced how I play. So in practice all week, I was getting ready for the moment and when my number was called, I stepped up and did what I needed to do. Offensive line, did they think? And we went to work. What's it like after those maybe first couple of runs where you're getting really positive yardage? Like, did something change in you? Did something shift? It was a boost but when I went in, first play I already had that chip on my shoulder to do whatever I needed to do to get the team on the right foot. Cause like I said before, it was kind of stifled but once I got in there, I was like, okay, let's go. We got to do this, we got to get this dub. And after those couple runs, I just got happy and stay with it. What about your line, what did you say, what did you see from then and how they were getting a good push for your guests?  I was like, man, I can go either way with this one. Like it was just a whole lot of space and took advantage of that. At what point this week did you know you were going to be active? I knew yesterday for sure. Coach called me. Coach called you, so he called yourself? Yes sir. Where were you?  Where was I? I was in Atlanta at my Airbnb because I knew we had to walk through today. I mean, yesterday. So I was just out here because it made sense instead of being on the north side and making that commute. But once he called me, I was like, okay, let's go Tom. What were you, do you remember what you were doing? Just studying, you know, studying, relaxing and just getting ready for the next time. Studying your playbook or studying my eskimo playbook? Did you like jump up, call your mom? Nah, I told my mom earlier in the week so she kind of already knew that it was a chance that I would be playing. But I called her again to let her know. And as soon as I knew, I was trying to get tickets for them and everything but I wasn't able to do that because my son and my girlfriend, they was at the house and I didn't want to make that commute and be late at the hotel last night. So it was at home watching me on TV. And what was her reaction? Your mother? Yeah, she was so excited. Guys, I just been through a lot growing up and this moment seemed like it would be forever but you know, it's finally here. Took advantage of it. How would you say that your group, your running back group is gelling? We're gelling perfectly. We all come in every day and put our best foot forward. Got a great coach behind us and just critiques us on a little thing to make us be a good group. Do you kind of have a bond that we're being from the South side? Oh yeah, for sure. We actually played each other in high school at something called spotting camp which is like a padded summer camp. So once he told me what school he went to, I was like, okay, yeah, respect because I know how hard it is coming up from down there. You know, making it to this level is kind of hard, nearly impossible, but we did it.


The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Basil Chapman. Call now. Call free at 1-877-927-6648. Hi, everyone, Basil Chapman, this is the Tiger Technicians Hour. This is Friday, May the 20th, and within the context of markets, the Dow had a nice early pop-up. It's giving some of that back, and this is going to be a really important session for a number of reasons. I'm just trying to get this out of the way here. Is it going to do that? So we're looking at the Dow right now, up 121 at 31374. This is a special session, as far as I'm concerned, just in terms of candles that I look at, in terms of how we need to resolve today, preferably not going negative, preferably not going to just a plus 40 by 10.30 this morning, but holding steady and then having options expiration, having some kind of a rally towards midday. We'll see what happens. The reason being, within the context of patterns, this is a little candle right here, a little doji candle. What's happened is each one of these candles at potential lows, we saw a Chapman-Wave Roman candle with a very long wick, it's a green candle going down to the bottom, and then a tiny wick at the top, but the body was half to three quarters above the wick low, and we've seen that a few times. And then we had just a mini one the other day, right there on the second, I think it was on the 12th, I mean, of May, and we ran up very nicely, one, two, three bars, and then failed, and then we took out that left side low yesterday. We went to a lower low, and that says that all of a sudden, the body of these long wicks candles is getting smaller and smaller. So yesterday what we had was, I call it a long-legged doji candle, open and close at about the same price, but ran up quite nicely, ran down quite a lot, and then came back and closed at almost a starting point. And that makes today a swing day in a sense that either it's a reversal candle or it's a failure candle, and it becomes almost like a halfway marker to the downside. So this early rally that started to fail, not a good sign, not a good sign at all. And even more important is I would have preferred to see weakness early and then strength. I don't like to see this. We've seen this so often, so early strength starts to fail, don't like that at all. So I just want to move this to the side so that I can get some kind of sense of my timing, because for some reason I've got the mics working, but the earphones are not working. All right, let's get on with it. Now the dowel's only up 36. I don't like this at all. Now the S&P is down from its high, the S&P is, let me just type that in, the S&P is up 10. It's still up nice, the up 10, but at <IP_ADDRESS>, and when the high today was 39.43, what is the 33 points of the high? Not a good sign, not a good sign at all. What we are looking at is the weight of evidence is suggesting that the down move, the trend itself, the tide on the daily chart is still in the down mode. It hasn't been able to reverse significantly to even get a buy signal that can be upgraded to a buy mode, the weekly chart definitely in the sell mode, and I'm watching real closely with God. What are we doing? Today is the 20th, so we've got until the 31st, which is Tuesday, a week from this coming Tuesday, that's the end of the month. Wow, this candle has so much work to do to start to improve. Will it do that? We'll have to see. So let's go to the QQQ, which now is only up 49 cents at 290.03. This is going to be a very, very important moment because here again you have a little dojo candle and you were above the left side low of 284.84 that was made on the 12th of May. And this arch formation says, whoops, you break that low, that's going to be the dreaded H pattern. And I want to see another one of those we've seen so many just from the high that was made in March at 371. This is the one that should have had a much larger H pattern, arch formation, held nicely and then gone to an even bigger one. So the day's young, let's see what happens. Meantime back at the ranch, the IWM is now down 21 cents at 176.34. That has been one of the weaker indices, especially in the pattern of the weekly chart where it made this arch formation, took it out, and it's almost done a one-to-one to the downside. It needs a lot of work. Let's go to gold because gold now it's down nine, almost 10 at 1831. If you look at the relationship, look at the pattern, yeah, we're looking at the left side, that's the daily chart, the middle is the weekly chart, there's this pattern that I call the falling acts arch formation, the falling acts that are an upside down one that can form the arch formation if it takes out key support. Well, it has taken the key support level, this chap, we've inside tracked pro-pellin zone has become a repellent zone. I'm watching this closely because if you look at the monthly chart, a lot of work needs to be done in gold to be able to say that the data is gone from a buy signal which is not even at right now, stegastics only at 29%, the MACD hasn't yet crossed positive, the weekly chart is still in negative mode, even the nine period has gone under the 14 period moving average. So the monthly chart is saying, please, shorter term, help me, help me, I need you to get to the 1884 level, preferably 1902, within about a week to say that you've got a buy signal that goes to a buy mode because that dollar, the dollar itself, held support at the low of yesterday, it's had 105.01, a multi-year high, it's in the pattern that I've been talking about this cup formation, it's only a leg C in the monthly and that should still go to a leg D, but it's at a leg, I'm still calling it a leg F, probably a peak F by the end of the day today in the weekly chart, but the technicals actually are pretty darn good for the dollar and that's saying dollar is still the place that money is flowing to, if you look at the EUR, USD, the euro-dollar currency pair, yes it's gone to a leg A, very nice single leg move, but it hasn't yet after four weeks of breaking underneath the low that was made back in 2020, March of 2020, at 1.0636, runs up to 1.239, peak D, back in January I think it was 2021 and then double tops fading below that high, I used the plum line, I said left side, right side should see a price time match so that around about April of 2022 we should be testing the 1.06364 level, well it took two weeks later and then it plunged down below it and now my rule of thumb with the arch formation is that within two maybe three bars you need to see a close above the left side low of importance that's the 1.0636, it hasn't done it yet, it is at 1.054, let's see I just want my engineer to be helping me here to tell me when I'm going to have to wrap this up for this particular segment, but if you look at the USDJPY and that is the YEN, currency pair, dollar YEN, it's pulled back from a peak D in the weekly chart, but not very much, it's still very good technically and dollar YEN seemed to go in the same trajectory very often, so we'll see what happens, in the meantime back to the YEN, there is silver, which is silver, SI, silver is down 21 cents, 21.69, it's gone to a really good area, now we can cut that, booming inflation, we are purchasing powers eroded, there's no better place to protect your hard earned money than in gold, Vista Gold's flagship asset is the Monk Todd Gold project in the northern territory of Australia, this is Australia's largest undeveloped gold project, we are talking a world-class gold project in the Tier 1 mining district, this is a large-scale, low-cost project with significant existing infrastructure in a politically safe and friendly mining jurisdiction, Vista Gold just completed the Monk Todd feasibility study, which resulted in a 7 million ounce gold reserve and a 16-year mine life, all of this combined with the approvals of all major operational as well as environmental permits, this distinguishes Monk Todd as an attractive, de-responding, ready-development stage gold project, Vista Gold trades on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol VGZ, are you looking for a way to consistently add winning trades to your portfolio?

Here we go, VIX index. There is some evidence here that the volatility index, I'm going to see where it closes today, Friday because these weekly charts most of the time on a Friday except for a couple of Fridays ago, it closed almost at the high of that week. Look at this candle right here. But for the past three weeks, even though the market's been coming down, the Friday close on the VIX index has been a fairly weak. So even more important than that is when we're looking at the implication of the volatility index being in the 28th, up in the 26 to 28th level, that is really high. That just suggests that fund managers are really buying volatility, the security of having some kind of position in the volatility index because they don't like what's going on in the market. Don't blame them. This is the reason why for subscribers we built up the big cash position. I don't want to be messing around here with getting stocks that look great and then boom, they get smacked. But at the same time, I think we're getting closer and closer to where let's just go to ARKK. I just use this as a benchmark. We don't have anything right now. I just wanted to avoid it. At this particular point, it's down 13 cents at 42.93. This is the ARK Innovation ETF. I think when this really starts to pick up legs, if it hasn't folded by before then, by going under 35.10, I suggest if it makes a lower lows in May, I think there's going to be a lot of pressure for this particular fund to kind of cease and desist because a lot of people will be getting their money out. But that is closing under, I'd say 33, 35.10 was the left side low of about seven days ago. And you can see this weekly chart, Trough G, there's every evidence here that suggests overbought condition for the unbalanced volume. There's a lot of evidence that says just in this particular phase, there should be at least a relief rally in the weekly chart. We've only had a couple on the way down. Since the big consolidation back going into the November high, let's call it the last time, not the all-time high, which is in November of 2021 at 125.86. Let's call it the week of the 12th of... Oh, wait, does that make sense? 125. Oh, it was February. I put March, which should be February of 2021 at 159.70. And now we're looking at... I wrote this incorrectly. Sorry, folks. I need to change something. 159.70, I wrote incorrectly. 159.70, there we go. 159.70 was the all-time high. I mean, 159 down to 35, you're not doing your subscribers a favor for the people that are invested in your fund if you're going to go down, especially when it consolidated during that period going into February, where it was consolidating between about 100 to 130 down to 100, let's say 110, and then it broke down. You really can't just keep saying, oh, I love the stock. I love the stock. I'm buying head over fist. I'm buying it. And then the thing goes down even further. I don't think that's right. But I do think that we've got to keep our eye on this the patent right now for the V-shaped patent says, if the ARC innovation on a short-term basis at 44.02 takes out 42, closes under 42 in the next day or two, that's really not very good action at all. So now what I want you to do is questions have come in. Let me start doing some of the questions. Let me just see what this one is. Could you try to explain why the US dollar peaking out is positive for the precious metals and stay cool? Yep, it's going to get hard, but we'll see what happens. Now, as far as I'm concerned, my IFR long, well, we've been long for subscribers to what we can call the long the dollar for quite a few years from the 90.07 level via the UUP. I don't think that this is the big move that says it's all over for the dollar because I think this, if I'm correct, I've still got this only leg C in the Chapman Wave methodology and the Chapman Wave methodology, a buy signal that goes to a buy mode invariably, and we just get there, invariably should do this. There we go. So I always try to identify a low bar from the low bar. We try to pick out higher highs. At the same time, I alphabetize sequentially all the peaks to the upside. It can go A, B, C, D, E, F, G. There's never an H, you have to see that. Maybe there's a recycle on the top. Is that G or it's gone through a G slash C? You've got an alternate count, but the objective in the Chapman Wave is to go from a buy signal to a buy mode, and if you call it a buy mode at any point above peak A, you should be saying that it's going to go to at least four higher peaks, to a peak D, and then other things can happen. Well, if that's the case, the dollar is in leg C. It still has to make its peak C. It's holding with tremendous strength at this particular point. It's still in the consolidation pattern between the breakout on the 27th of April with a low of 102.22, the high of 105.01 on May the 13th, and here it is at 103. It's still consolidating. If it starts to trade at 101.5 or lower, that says, oh, okay, now you've got a sell signal in the data chart. I don't know yet whether it'll be a sell mode, but it'll be a sell signal, and that implies that all the other currencies, remember, I tried to think of all these things separately. Dolly is the dollar. Bondi is bonds. Let me just do this. Bondi is bond. TLT is down at the bottom. Try to establish some kind of a low. It did a left-side, right-side price-time match, but it hasn't yet shown any strength to be able to get the yields down. Vixi is something completely independent. It's up near these highs that you're looking at levels that were almost at the invasion of Ukraine, and you're looking at yields still very high. So I want you to think of all these things separately. Think of the Vixi index as an insurance policy at this particular point. Yes, a fear factor, but an insurance policy. Think of the dollar as the premier currency around the world. Think of Goldy. Goldy as something, I'm not talking about gold as an inflationary hedge or anything like that. At this particular point, try to think of it separately. Think of gold as its own unit. It is broken underneath this rising chaff. Right here, this inside track right there. I should make that pink. I wanted the blue so that you can see it better. Pink kind of blends in too much, but at this particular point, the aspect that is really significant is that gold is at a spectacular move over the last couple of years, and now it's doing, for the last year, it's been a digestive phase holding extremely well. If you want to put them all together with the dollar screaming at multi-year highs, gold is not at multi-year lows. Think of them separately. Think of your gold package as something that has to do.

I believe I've once had this notated, I don't have it now, leg A, peak A, leg B, peak B, leg C, peak C, and leg D, peak D. Okay, so the question is, I'm not sure what the question is, I made a peak D yesterday, yep, hitting the 200-period exponential moving average on 228, it also hit the 200-year-old, but only at peak C and back down. Is it time to sell half position or all? So let me just say this, I wish I had the full notation here because I really wanted to see, this is a brand new leg A in the weekly chart. So yes, your analysis is 100% correct, and what I'm going to say, the fact that it went, it got so close, my rule of thumb with the 200-period exponential moving average, especially in the daily charts, is that if the price gets very close after being under it for quite a while, beginning closer and closer, there's a really good chance that it's going to break above it. Well, this did break above it, and now it's hugging it at 60.00 at this moment. I'm changed, what we're looking at is, the high yesterday was, I'm pleased you said you're already in it, what should you do? 63.10. Now, I wish I could tell what it is, Celsius holdings. You know, I remember distinctly typing this out at some point because Celsius, I'd originally spelt it with the Celsius holdings, with a C, C with a C there instead of an S, I believe, and that's stuck in my mind. So I'm going to do right here, I'm going to say, maybe you'll tell me, or what does, I'll just type it in, what does Celsius holding do? Very simple, and it says, operates as a holding company, a company through subsidiaries provides thermogenic, calorie-burning beverages. Oh, I remember this now. The company markets its beverages, beverage multiple channels, including grocery, drug, convenience stores, and I remember thinking, oh, it's one of those areas that's kind of in the, almost like a vitamin area, but it's in the subnormal grocery type thing. Just another reason why I remember it is because I remember being in, back in Rhode Island, Newport, Rhode Island, years ago, and I can't remember if I had my cell phone on or I was looking at some of these, and we were in this, like a used clothing store, because this particular one has very unusual things, and we were just fascinated, and I remember having my cell phone, and there was a stock that we had looked at, which was in the, in the same type of area, and I then put it on as a buy the next day, because it was doing so well, and that just stuck me. I don't know why these things are coming up right now, but all I can say is, having hit the 200 period moving average and like glue, it's just an amazing thing. Let me just open this up to show you something fascinating. I don't know, I'm just opening up you and I in the same situation. Oh, look at this. That 200 period moving average was tremendous resistance all the way back to November, December of 2021, and then it broke above it, but it couldn't really hold above it. It held one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight sessions back in December, around about the 23rd, and then broke down on the 4th of January, and that was it, and it plummeted down to 40, so it was in the 74 area, is that correct? Yes, and then it plummets, it just cut almost in half, goes down to 39, and the rally is peak A, peak B, peak C, peak D, right at exactly on the 200 period moving average, and then it tries to rally and break above it, and it can't, it pulls back, pulls back. I think this is the move that says with the MACD good and the stochastic at 86 percent and flat, above 80 percent and flat I like, I'm going to say to you, no, I like it, and your question was, is it time to sell half the position or all of it, and I'm just going to say just because you asked me the question, I'm going to say take a little bit off, because first of all, congratulations, you were in it, it's held extremely well. I don't really be messing with it, because hey, it's in a buy mode, and it's stopped at a leg D, we don't know if it's a peak D until the end of the day, it probably is, but that weekly chart has really improved a lot, MACD's good stochastics improving at 61, 51 percent, beautiful on balance volume V-shaped pattern. I'm going to say because you asked me the question, take a little bit off, since you would have taken half off, I'm going to say take a little bit off, and why not for your own comfort, if it goes under, it might be two points at this stage for you, it might be too much, because you're saying, hey, I could get two points right now, why should I wait two points, and if it goes below that, I get out, I'm just going to say to you, because it's acting so well in this particular market environment, I would say have another exit on some of the position at 57.50, and that's good again Monday, Tuesday, in fact I'll put it in here, C-E-L-H, good eye, I think you're fabulous, you got it, I just don't think you should take a half off right now, this is my opinion, Osford, I'm giving it to you, so with that said, I'm going to say yes right now, take a little bit off, but just a little bit off, and another part of it should have a stop, today's low is 58.66, it's trading at 59.66, if you're really getting a little bit nervous and saying, I don't want to give up these gains, these days you've got to work so hard for gains, you could take a little, make a 58, 57.98 is another stop, and then maybe a little bit lower, and then I suspect that it's going to hold well, and that by Tuesday or Wednesday, it'll, I could be totally wrong, it is a lag gear, PD, other things can happen, but the way it's acting right now, I wouldn't be surprised if it breaks 63.10 sometime by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week, the way it's acting, it's doing very nicely. All right, with that said, beverages, so that's what I'm saying, it's in this kind of niche area, it seems to be doing well at this particular moment, I don't want to get in the way of something that's acting well, so that's all I'm saying to you, take a tad off, do you know Kura, Kura online learning? No, is that COUR? Yep, COUR, yeah, be careful, this is Kusera Inc. No, this has got the same pattern that we're looking at in so many of the indices that have tried to come off the low, but what I would say to you is this is the moment if it's going to rally at all, and the magnitude hasn't crossed positive, it's real close, so if you're asking me for my outlook, looking out towards the end of the summer, this has a lot of work to do, it was an IPO about a year ago, it screamed up to the 60s, and it plummeted down to the recent low in the 13th area, here it is at 1570, what I am going to say to you, the person asked me, likes to get bigger positions, I mean not bigger price-wise, I'm talking about positions that he adds to over a period of time, looking at the bigger picture, I'm going to say to you, it's in an area that says it's trying to establish a low, the low should have had either yesterday or today, moving up to 1628, so that's lagging, but I would suggest to you to just start a small position right now, and that small position says I can add to it, I can subtract, but give it just a little bit of, give it a little bit of room, 15.70, in your case, I'd say start a little position, I would actually exit it if it broke a point below that, that's a big percentage gain, at last you can make it smaller, but just for the moment give it a point, but normally I would- Are you in the market for buying or selling real estate in the Bay Area, including the surrounding St. Petersburg, Tampa, and Clearwater markets?

And we're looking at the Dow up 8 and the S&Ps up 9. Actually, the S&P is the one that's holding up better here. A question I got, I wanted to do these. So, the FANG type stocks, let's go through this. We've got Facebook right now. Facebook, social media, of course, they call them, they call it meta right now. I have a tough time with that. Through 83.33 was the September high. It's plummeted down to the low just the other day of 169 round number low. I forgot to type it in. I saw it and I completely forgot to type in it. 169 round number low. Let's see if that's going to hold. And one of the things that I've been looking at over the period of time for months now, I've been saying that the NASDAQ, the FANG type stocks are due for a much deeper correction and when they complete that, I would not be surprised. People always say, oh, things are done. But actually what happens if you go back in history, you'll find that the real sexy stocks that were once leaders very often come back to be leaders. They don't just go away. Maybe one or two in the sector will, but generally like a Google alphabet, a Google will stay as a leader even though it's in a big digestive phase, Amazon's same thing. So you can see that Facebook's really struggling. It had a beautiful gap up. I can't remember the news was that the earnings on the 27th and then the 28th, it gaps up when it made the round number low on the 27th of April and then it gapped up huge. It went to the 220s. Then it plummeted back to the 185 I think it was. Yeah, 184.78 level has a bounce and now it's gone sideways. I think these are going to take longer. So the question is, what about Facebook? And my answer is, in terms of Facebook, I would just suggest at this particular point that Facebook's going through a really big digestive phase. First decent consolidation it's had, or I would say, and just look at this chart, ever since the one from 218 back in July of 2018 and went down to 123. That was a big, big move. Well, this has gone from 383 down to a low of 169. That's also, that's, yeah, I mean, that's more than cut in half. So as far as I can tell, this is going to continue based on the monthly chart. It's got the Chapinweight Insight Track Propeller Zone. It's held there. It's got Fibonacci Numbers. It's got all sorts of things. I just think it needs more time. On a short basis, it can have a good rally. But I think looking out on the weekly chart, it could have a limited upside. But it might, at this particular point, have a more limited downside as it tries to come back and retest 169. If you're looking at Amazon, Amazon, same thing. Amazon, same pattern as the ones we've been looking at. Single leg A up, breaks down, hasn't broken to the left side low of 2048.11. Let me just type that in. 2048. 2048.11. And trading right now, 2193. Look at the weekly chart. It needs a lot of work. Look at the monthly chart. It needs a lot of work. So all of these stocks, Google, same thing. I'm using the Google. I'm using the same thinking here that says Google goes from 3042 round number high, a week of the second, a week of the fourth of February. Week of the fourth of February. And it's trading now at 2210. That's a huge hit for a major company. And Google will be back with something spectacular. But at this particular point, needs a lot of room. If one wanted to build a position in the UUP for leg D up, UUP, which is the, this is what we are long from way back in the, in the 23s hit. Of course, when you're talking about currency, these are big percentage numbers, but not necessarily if it was a stock. It hit 28.07 on the 13th of May, 28.07. So it's had a fabulous run. It needs a bit of a breather now, pulling back. Let's hold off. If you want to get the monthly chart to go to a leg D, to retest the 28.90 major high of March of 2020, I think you need to just hold off for the moment. Let's see what it does. If it does go into the 27, 20, I always say for today, let's take a foot. We've taken just one little bit off at 96 in the dollar. Let's see if we're taking off a little bit today. I don't know if I really want to do that. I'll have to do some work over the weekend. I didn't just want to do it arbitrarily because it's here and it feels good. I want to do some analysis with it. But certainly if it starts to close under 27, 20, then you have to wait a little bit and then we'll see what happens. And then we want to see does remember I wanted the separation of gold and all these things, not that they don't work and not that they can't work together with the complexity of the puzzle that we're looking at here. But I like to think of them separately. Bondi, bonds, Goldy for gold, Dolly for dollar, Crudy for crude oil, and what is a Vixie for the Vixie index. Yes, they do work together, but if you think of it independently, it kind of helps you to put it all in perspective because if you're saying to yourself, oh, gold should rally, how do you know how much it will rally? Off rule. Gold screened up to a high, look at this, Gold screened up to a high back in around July, August of 2020. And it went to the almost the 2000 level, not over 2000, pulled back, and then went right back and made a slightly lower high. And yet in all this time, the dollar, they don't usually go in the same trajectory. Look at the dollar, the dollar was just screaming to the upside. So I think it's very important to think of them as separate. Oily for oil, yep, Oily for oil. Oh, not Crudy, but Oily. Sorry, you're absolutely right. Oily for oil, we didn't want to be crude. So Oily is trading up 37 cents. All right, let's get out of this one. What we want you to talk about right now is, what about the OIH? The OIH also has had a decent rally. It's stuck in the range, but the oil service ETF is in a leg D in the monthly chart. But if you look at the monthly chart, unlike oil, this is once being to the 1,000, so unbelievable, 1,160 was the high back in July of 2014. So that's what I'm saying. Even in the sectors and what you're looking at, try to look at them as an individual piece of analysis that you have to do. You can't hawk them back to those old levels. Remember, Crudor is close to where it was in the end of the Georgian invasion with Russia. It just goes on and on. But the oil service is a little bit different. It's a different sector. Try to think of them as separate sectors. Now, what I am looking at here is, Apple was another one. This is what I'm saying. I don't see a major rally in all the indices to go to all-time highs, not yet. But if you look at the consolidation, the rotation of the consolidations, it seems as if the Dow is in a way playing a little bit of a catch-up, although it's still holding best of all. And you're just waiting for some of these, like Apple is a part of the Dow. It's part of the NDX100. It's part of the S&P. It's really important. And that's a drag, because if you're looking at the monthly chart, it's only now gone below the 40p average for the close to 40p average. Since the last time, it broke under the 50p in the same month, went above the watch of 2020. Sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting better at playing a musical instrument.

I'm sorry, I've got everything messed up today. I will fix it up when we wrap up the show, but I got the wrong earphone plug-in. Just let's do this. We've got a wrapping up time. I want to do this real quickly. Let's go to the general markets and I'm going to tell you what I'm looking at here. If the Dow today takes out yesterday's low and closes below yesterday's low, that is not a good sign because on this particular doji candle, you've got yourself not even three days. It's two days. You can break and close below it, but wow, within two to three sessions of the bar, that is two bars, it's got to close nicely above the high that was made yesterday, which is 31,016. So far, we did go, I believe that we're out of it. We did go long. Once again, we've gone along almost every day on the diamonds and we've made money on the upside. Today, I can't talk about it because I'm right in the middle of everything. I believe we did get stopped out, a very tight stop that we had. What we're looking at here is within the context of markets, remember I said the VIX index, this is going to be key, if the VIX index starts to pull back, I don't want a Friday close at the high of the week. Well, that will be all the way in the 32s or even higher. But at this particular point, the 29,22, the Dow is down 138, the S&P is down 12. As I said, we've built up this cash position. I don't want to get too carried away to the upside. We'll have to see what happens over the weekend into Monday. But if by Tuesday, the VIX index isn't pulling back and underneath 26, preferably 25, 30 or lower, but he's sitting up in this 29, 30 area, that is just giving us tremendous pressure for selling. And that's


Hi there YouTube family. We are going to be talking about eight of my favorite foundations that I have in my makeup collection that I wear when it gets warm outside. I love these because they have great staying power. I love them because of their finishes. So we're going to get right into this and I'm going to show you some really great foundations that help with these sweaty, hot, humid summer months. So there are some high-end in here and there are some drugstore. There are some high-end foundations that I have found that have just been really good. What I'm going to do is I'm going to work backwards. So we're going to go from number eight up to number one. And so let's start off with Makeup Revolutions Conceal and Define Foundation. This is a really, really good coverage foundation. Completely full coverage. It does come with this huge Doe Foot applicator, which I'm not crazy about Doe Foot applicators. A lot of brands are doing that. But it does come with that and it lasts all day. I'm going to tell you that this foundation is comparable, pretty much a good dupe for the Urban Decay All Nighter Foundation, the one that just stays and stays and stays. And this one does the same thing. It is, like I said, it is a little bit thicker of a foundation. So you're going to find that if you like a medium to light coverage, this one is not going to be for you. But as far as being a long-wearing one and holding up in the heat, this is really good. Now I'm going to say this before we go on any further. Any of these foundations, I always wear a primer. I almost always powder around my nose and around my T-zone because I get really bad there. And then I always use a very good setting spray, not like a dewy setting spray or hydrating setting spray, anything like that. If I'm wanting to beat the heat, those three steps go in with my foundations no matter what. So I wanted to make sure I tell you that because if you just try the foundation without those other things, you might not get the results that I did. Number seven is from NYX. This is the Can't Stop, Won't Stop. This is a pump. This one is full coverage. I have it in natural and it is supposed to be a very long-wearing. Now this one does claim to be matte, but you know what, you guys? I find that on my skin it's not totally matte. And that's why I love it. It is another thicker foundation. So it is going to give you a full coverage. I like full coverage because I have such bad age spots around my face. And I do have a lot of redness through here. So I really do appreciate a full coverage, but I know that some people don't. Now if you wanted to try these for the weather, but you didn't want it to be such a full coverage, you could put a little bit of primer in with this and thin it out or you could do a little bit of moisturizer. But again, the moisturizer is going to kind of defeat the purpose in that it's going to make it more dewy and not last throughout the day. But this one lasts really good. Love the finish on this one. This one has been, this is number six, this one has been a little controversial clear through YouTube. A lot of people have tried this. A lot of people don't like it. I like it. It works really good on my aging skin and that's the Fenty Beauty Foundation. I don't know why. I don't have any reason why it works on my skin better than it does on anybody else's, but it just seems to. And let's see what the color of this one is. The color is 210. This is called Pro Filter and I really do feel like it does give that filtered look to my skin, that soft, camera-like skin that everybody covets. You know, I do really feel like it does a really good job. I love the wear time on this. I love that it doesn't show up any of my texture and this one will last me all day long. I can look in the mirror at night and I will look at it and I'll go, yep, I still got that foundation on. It still looks really good and I just love it. Now, my number five is the NYX Total Control Drops, Total Control Foundation Drops. And again, I have this one in Natural and that the natural color is my color during the summer months. And then even then it can be a little bit too light when I'm self tanning, but I can put a bronzer on it and get the effect that I want. This is a really, really watery consistency. I mean like droplet water, but oh my goodness, the coverage on that is fantastic. And not just the coverage, but how super light it is on your skin is amazing. You get that coverage. You get all of the things that you need from a full coverage foundation. It does show a little bit of skin through, but it looks so natural because it is that watery serum consistency. It is just an absolutely gorgeous foundation and I've worn it and worn it in the humidity and it holds up like a dream. So I know that this one might not be so good if you're super duper dry, though, because this might cling to some of your dry patches, but I am like, like I said right now during the summer, I'm like leaning towards combo. So I'm like normal to combo. And then I sweat with my lovely personal summers. So this one is definitely one that I really love. My number four is the IT Cosmetics CC Oil Free Matte Foundation. I have this one in light. It seems to work really good for me. And again, I can warm it up with a bronzer as I self tan. But you guys, I didn't think I was going to like this because of my all time favorite of these is just the regular one. But this is really good. I don't feel like this keeps me matte. It doesn't make me feel like my skin is dried out or that it doesn't look like, you know, just pretty skinny with a little bit of that natural softness to it. I was really impressed with this, but it does keep all of that shine at Bay through the day. So I don't have any breakthrough around my nose or anything like that. And I have enjoyed this so much almost to the point, dare I say it, almost to the point to where I like it a little bit better than the regular one. So this one is really good. My number three spot goes to the Superstay Foundation from Maybelline. And I have this one in light beige. And I will tell you right now that this is much too pale for me in the summer when I am tanning, but I really have been enjoying this one to death. You guys love that it comes in a glass jar and that it has a pump on it. This is a fantastic coverage foundation. And when it says 24 hour and Superstay, I'm not going to make that claim to you, but I am going to tell you that if you have an event to go to outside where it's going to be really hot and you feel like you're going to be sweating, this will last you. This will get you through the day.  I don't feel like it settled into fine lines or anything like that. So I really have been enjoying this one. This is the one that I just talked about that I said that I only had for two months, but I have been able to wear it over and over again and just absolutely loved it so good. My number two spot goes to the Tarte Face Tape Foundation. It's actually called Double Duty Beauty Face Tape Foundation. Big name. I think this is a gorgeous foundation. I had a really hard time choosing between this and the number one spot, but this foundation, even though it's a little bit more expensive, this foundation is flawless. It's beautiful on the skin. Now all of these foundations are going to give you just gorgeous finishes and you're going to love them all, but this one is absolutely flawless. I have never had any problem with this. This is one of my ones that I reach for over and over again. I switch between this and the number one spot almost all the time and I think this is just something that is really special. So this is in the color 22N Light Neutral. This is a really good color for me in the winter. It is a little bit light in the summer, but I do just a little bit of mix in and it's perfect. But you guys, I felt completely head over heels in love with this and it knocked the NARS one off of the top spot for me because I used to use the all-day luminous weightless from NARS, but I like this one better and that's saying a lot because I used that one from NARS for years before I started to use that one. Number one spot, drum roll, is the Catrice Foundation, the HD Liquid Coverage Foundation. I have these in two colors. One is 020 Rose Beige and the other one is 036 Hazelnut Beige and I mix these together and it's just about perfect. So it is kind of hard to get your color on this, but if you go on the Catrice website there's so many more colors than there even are on Ulta. Now for a while there they just had a couple and it was like no, no guys, gotta get more colors because not everybody is a pasty babe like I am.  I find that I can put this on in the morning, it doesn't take a lot of work to blend it in. My skin is covered, it's covered in a, you know, a very light serum-like foundation. This is very, you know, watery like the NYX, not as quite as watery as that, but a little bit. I do like that it has the dropper that comes out, not something that you're touching your skin so I don't feel like you get a lot of contamination with it that way either, but it's super light when it goes on your skin and the coverage is just stinking phenomenal. I mean, I could put this on my skin and I bet I could even wash my, my hand like three or four times and it would still be there. It's so pretty on the way that it covers. The way that it covers, you know, super hard to cover blemishes or dark spots or anything like that and then the way that it wears throughout the day.  I can sweat like a crazy woman and it holds up through all of that and I absolutely love this. This will be in the number one spot for a long time. This is just something that's really good and like I said, these two foundations, I switch off between them almost every day. I do use all my foundations, but I do really, really love these two and I find myself reaching for them the most. Right now, those are the ones that I would highly recommend for these hot summer months and to help get you through those sweaty days when it's humid outside and yeah, it's just kind of nasty and yucky and I hope that some of them will work for you guys. That's everything for today's video. If you did enjoy it, please give it a thumbs up. I really do appreciate that you guys do that for me. As always, I appreciate your time and I know that it's valuable and thank you for spending part of that with me. You guys have an amazing rest of your day and I'll catch you all in my next video. Love you, bye-bye.

How do you feel about that? More examples. You're talking about moving the office to New Jersey. What's your opinion about that? I think we need to get a new printer. What do you think? Giving opinions. You can state your opinion directly with phrases like, In my opinion, I think that I feel that I believe that The main sentence I think or feel can be followed by that and a new subject. For example, I think that we should buy a new computer. She feels that we made a big mistake. We believe that sales will improve next year. The word that is often omitted. I think we should buy a new computer. We believe sales will improve next year. Negative opinions. Negative opinions are a little tricky in English. We usually put the negative word before think or feel, not before the opinion itself. For example, I don't think she will come to the party. He doesn't feel that we should cancel the event. In many languages, it is common to say something like, I think that she will not come to the party. He feels that we should not cancel the event. While these sentences are not incorrect and they make sense logically, they are not as common in English. Supporting your opinions. It's not good to just state your opinion and walk away. After you have given your opinion, tell why you think or feel the way you do. Support your ideas with reasons, evidence, facts, or details. For example, opinion. I think we should get a new car. Reason. The old one keeps breaking down and repairs are expensive. It is common to state your opinion using the word should. For example, I think that smoking should be banned in public places. We believe that employees should be given health insurance. The word should sets it up as a proposition or something to be discussed openly. Should is often used in debates and each side needs to defend or support their opinions with evidence or facts. Agreeing or disagreeing. After listening to others' ideas, it's okay to share your own. The easiest way to do this is to continue the conversation with, I agree or I disagree. Then state your opinion. Examples. I agree. We need to buy a new computer for the office. I disagree. I don't think we need to spend all that money. Other ways to agree or disagree. Expressing agreement. Good idea. I think that's a good idea. Sounds good. That sounds like a good idea. Expressing disagreement. I'm sorry, but I don't agree with you. I don't think that's such a good idea. I'm afraid I have to disagree. Don't forget to support your ideas. Tell why you agree or disagree. Your turn. Practice asking for and giving opinions with your partner. Here are some sample topics. What do you think about online classes?

Times interest earned is really the number of times interest expense can be covered by operating income. Times interest earned is a measure of solvency. Times interest earned is calculated as operating income divided by interest expense. Again, it tells us how many more times a company's operating income is greater than the interest claims on those earnings. This is one ratio where the bigger the number the better. This ratio can't be too big. Here's an income statement of a sample company. We'll use the highlighted operating income and interest expense to determine times interest earned. For 2016, operating income divided by interest expense gives us times interest earned of 8.82 times. This result is probably good because the company's operating income is significantly higher than the interest expense claims. But it does depend a little bit on the industry and the company's philosophy regarding debt financing.
