Hello and welcome to another episode of our special series, Beating Our Lords. In this series, we are speaking to leaders who are showing us the way forward in these difficult times of lockdown where COVID-19 has just put a complete hold on most of the businesses, which will in long run impact our economy. But we have leaders who are ensuring that despite all the challenges, we are continuing with as much as we can while being in the lockdown sitting at home. With me today is one such leader, Mr. Anand Badkamkar, CEO Dan India. Welcome to the show, sir. I'm really sorry if I pronounced your surname incorrectly. No, no, you've been on such a quite, quite properly. Thanks Nazia, I'm happy to be here. So, I want to begin by asking that today, it's we're almost settled into the lockdown now. It's almost the third week and it's been extended now. How are you managing your business? How are you managing your employees, your teams? So, it's a new experience all around. It's for everyone actually. The entire advertising industry went into this. So, when it started, initially the thoughts were whether we can do this, whether it's feasible because as a whole, the entire organization or the entire country working from home, that was something which was not anticipated. Too many apprehensions or sort of too many questions at that point of time. But, we started a bit early in the day because as a country being part of the multinational network, we had seen in our other markets in China or our European and American markets. This already had started and people had started working, taking action. They were learnings from our network agencies or learnings from our counterparts in other markets. So, that was quite helpful. The teams were geared from the beginning and we started working towards this work from home kind of a concept, 10 days in advance before the actual lockdown started in India or when the PM announced that. So, in a way, a bit of forward planning and more importantly, I think the resilience of the team and the way teams have responded. Not only our teams, but even our clients or our vendors or our vendor ecosystem because we all are set into the same boat. So, it's not something which is specific to some segment or various at some specific areas. The entire economy, the entire spectrum is impacted because of this. And the good part is people are willing to support each other and trying to make the most out of this. So, yeah, we are now in middle of the lockdown completely and up to 30th now for sure. But people are finding ways of sort of making this happen as well and then sort of making most of it if I can say that. How about clients? Because they are a little more demanding than employees. So, how are you dealing with your clients right now? So, it's all, again, it's work from home. That's a new experience for our client interactions as well because earlier it used to be every alternate day or every day the teams used to be with the clients and then meeting with the clients or face-to-face interactions that has shifted to your Microsoft Teams calls or Zoom calls or the con calls. That has not gone down but definitely as an advertising industry or as an advertising segment, the spins have gone down. So, the work-wise, there's definitely sort of a bit of a slowdown but the clients' interest or clients' interaction and the core concern and care for the brands and how do they want to sort of get ready when this entire thing gets over because this is going to get over. How they're going to get ready for that, that still continues and kind of messaging they want to take out to consumers. So, that has still continued. So, what's missing is a physical interaction which the teams had with the clients or one-on-one meetings if you can call it but still the interaction continues and then the overall work sort of still continues. Would you give us some ratio of like, what's the drop in the ad spins? Some ratio? It's too early for that just now, Nazia but it's definitely going to be a substantial impact because IPL was supposed to start from 14, that's not going to happen now.  A lot of advertising spends haven't pushed back. So, when this comes back at that point of time we can see exactly what is the impact but is definitely impacting half of March was like you take example of events companies or out-of-home companies, that's almost come to a zero because there are no spends on those activities. Digital TV while there's more viewership or there's more sort of consumer or your foot falls over there but that's not actually converting into ad spends. So, that's something which has come down quite substantially across all but what's getting more is actually on event wherever there's personal interaction or people wanting to be out there in the market that is massively impacted. Overall, when the lockdown gets out, we can get a view because currently we are thinking that it should come back by Diwali and things might sort of start reviving. Current year is going to be definitely a challenging year for industry as a whole but it's not that there's no hope at all. There's a lot of positives coming out of this. Clients are still engaging, clients are still working along. You also have some difficult clients like Maruti. I mean, in the sense automobile industry has been very slow for last one and a half years. Now we have this new crisis. Then you have GoAir as your client. Again, another industry which has really been hit very badly and it's almost like the operations are shut completely. What kind of media advice are you giving to these clients or in general clients industries which have really seen a very big hit after COVID-19? Yeah, it's not specifically restricted to only these industries or these segments. It's actually all across. But if you see currently what's definitely happening is clients are taking a really look at their overall spends. More than spends actually is their business pattern or how their business is working out. And what was going to be the challenges to the business because the entire ecosystem has sort of been impacted because there's no movement. Manufacturing has almost come to a standstill. So the demand generation is going to take some time. So all across what even we are advising the clients is not to be completely media duck. You will need to be there out there in the market or with the brand. Somewhere you need to be reaching out to their core consumers. And it's not the product placement or product advertisement as of now in these days but it's more on how you're engaging with the customers or your ultimate consumers and being relevant and doing that purpose-driven or responsible advertising. That's something which is quite critical. And at the same time, this is a good time to sort of plan for future as well. Because one is this immediate thing the next two, three months, how do I keep engaging with my customer or my consumer base? But more than that, when the things start coming back because then there would be a spike in the demand, I should be ready for that also. Working with the customers on that and that's across the industry segments actually. And how do I keep ready for that? Because you can't be just completely at zero. And from there, you can't just switch into if I take auto. You can't be the fourth or fifth gear on immediate basis. That will take some time. So you need to be ready for that and gear for that. That's something which leads through sort of all the two. So when I'm discussing with the clients, it's around these also, how the strategy and how the business planning is coming through. Most of the questions that we have discussed so far are a little depressing in the sense that there's nothing great happening right now. But eventually things will come to an end. And what kind of hope or messaging would you want to give to youngsters or the industry which is a little anxious to know where will this lead us to? Yeah. See, as a country or as an economy, we definitely are poised for great things. Means India definitely has bright future and in the long term, it's definitely going to be a hugely successful economy and a country. That's for sure. And I do believe strongly in that. And so does our network as well. And that that's something which is bound to happen. So this is a short-term phenomenon in that overall perspective, right? So this is going to end. There is definitely light at the end of the tunnel, if you say, from a gloomy perspective. That's something which is definitely going to come out. But these days are somewhere you can't escape because that's something as in that country or it's a global pandemic. Everyone is going through this. So you need to be quite forced in there to acknowledge that this is a challenge which is tearing us in the face and it would be there for next two months, three months, four months, which we need to stay through together. So one is staying together as a team, not losing hope for sure and being positive. You have to be optimistic, eternal optimist. That's what I keep on telling our guys as well. Right? So you have to be extremely positive and just look at the positives and be ready for future when the things start coming back. A is you sort of batten the hatches just not because they are stormy with the outside or you need to sort of ride through those rough waves. But once that is done, you need to be ready to go out and start winning those clients, delivering that excellent work to our clients and start speaking with the consumers. That's something you need to be ready with. So one is be positive from leader's perspective. Keep on communicating with the teams. Keep on inspiring them and keep on passing those positive messages and very transparently communicating with them where the entire thing is moving. So that's something which will go a long way. Working together as a team, do those regular calls, regular meetings, engage HR more and more on inspirational ways of working or sort of for welfare or health checks for the employees. I think that's something which is critically you need to take through. And from employee perspective, one is definitely plan your future, how you are looking at and one is self introspection and self learning. Because now is a good time to learn whatever skills you wanted to have. Sort of maybe it might be just some personal skill you wanted to have that, maybe music or maybe some instrument or something like that. Or there are so many online courses. So go on those online courses, something to do with management or self help, something like that. But pick up that one skill or pick up that one sort of added, I won't say degree, but certificate or something. When you have this time and this opportunity available to you. Because moment things open up, you'll start traveling. If you're in Mumbai or Delhi, Gurga or Bangalore, you'll spend two hours, three hours just being on the road. So just now, you're at least awarding that. So definitely people are working a lot more as as compared to when you used to be in the office. But definitely there is more time to be had on your hands also if you can plan that properly. So I think that's something you need to see, but definitely it's positive and it's going to be much, much better than it's today. That's for sure. And I know you have to rush. You have a meeting to attend. One last question. This unprecedented lockdown has changed all of us in different ways. It has had its own impact. How has it evolved you as a professional or as a person? What are the changes you see in your lifestyle day to day? Whether it is work or in your personal life that this lockdown has brought in? So the biggest change that has brought in is my look actually because I sort of changed my hairstyle completely. So that was one, I was trying to sort of experiment with that. I think I would say that that's something which has worked. But besides that, even I'm trying to do some courses, online courses or sort of something to learn or something which has been saying for a long time, some language to sort of brush up upon, a bit like that. More than that, then it's more time to mess with the family working together. Partly it's mandatory, but at the same time, it's something which you get to spend more, spending time with my son, with my wife, sort of discussing more, which we may not have discussed in your routine sort of matters actually or day to day work. So that's something and then some shows at home actually doing some shows at home, started sort of trying to get my hand in the kitchen. No, not so much, but somewhere around that. So a bit like that. So on professional front, it's more on learning work wise. It just continues. There are calls and calls and there would be meetings in that sense. But it's more like a better mix of personal and professional life. I think that's something which this is giving and what it's taught quite quite strongly is anything can happen actually because no one had imagined that such a thing like will happen. You are into a phase where you know what the problem is. And I think none of us had experienced this before, right? Because you don't know the answer. And as a human being, you're quite keen or as more structured people, you're professionals, you want to know what is the outcome and you want to plan for the outcome. The biggest challenge many are facing just now is because you don't know what is the outcome because there's no cure as of now for the disease. So working in those times and still keeping the ambition and then sort of running on day to day, that's something which is important. And what's more pleasing is the way all the teams have rallied around our 3700 employees in India, the way they have come together and then sort of fighting against this at personal level, at professional level, at organizational level. I think that's much, much pleasing and most pleasing thing which I see over here that we have come together as one and much more strongly than you would have seen even earlier as well. So that spirit continues actually. That's one of the most pleasing things actually. And then we're running out of time. So I wish we had more time and I could have asked you more questions, but I respect the fact that you have some prior appointments. Thank you so much for talking to us and wish you all the best. Stay at home, stay safe. Thanks, pleasure talking to you and take care and stay safe, stay at home. See you. Thank you very much.


So once again, nothing happened to the income statement. Note at the end of the year, we're gonna have to provide, say this detailed report to the tax preparer, which will give them the line by line items. And then again, you might want to give them the added documentation breaking out the actual purchases so they can accurately put it into the system. This, even after a year, is not gonna have too much detail in it. Nothing compared to, not when compared to like a cash account because we don't purchase the equipment all the time. It's not a day-to-day transaction. So I'm gonna go back up top. And so there is that nothing's on the income statement. Okay, let's do it again. And I'm gonna say we're gonna buy another piece of furniture and equipment. So I'll go back to the right. I'll just enter it directly into here because we're gonna pay cash for it again. And the second month of data input, we'll do more transactions that are non-cash related. So we have to finance it in there. We're gonna do more transactions that are gonna be using cash in the first month here. So I'm gonna say this is gonna go for, let's say it's on the 11th this time. And let's say this time we bought it from Amazon. Amazon, I think that's how you spell it. Tab, that's gonna be a vendor, proper vendor. Notice again, we have this issue that I might buy multiple things from Amazon including possibly supplies and sometimes large items which would go under property planting equipment. I'm gonna say this is for fixed assets. And we once again might want more detail in the memo explaining exactly what we purchased, 7,000. And then I'm just gonna put this into the furniture and equipment. The key here being because it's a large dollar amount and because we're gonna have to depreciate it because the tax code requires us to, we're gonna put it on the books as an asset, not expense it even though we paid cash for it. Let's go ahead and save it. And go back to the middle tab and update, run it again, run it, and then end the checking account. And so now we're building up our data. There is the transaction. If I go into it, it is an expense form. I can add the documentation if I needed to so that we could give that to our accountant.  And so there is that. The other side went into the furniture and equipment now having 100,000 in it. So there it is, going back up and back. Now there's a couple of issues with just that we talked, we touched on earlier with the recording of the fixed assets. Notice it's in the dropdown here because that dropdown is by account type. These two are fixed asset account types. If I was to add multiple categories like equipment and then furniture and then building, then the question is, I'm also gonna have a related accumulated depreciation account. So you could have one accumulated depreciation account for all categories, but oftentimes it's kind of nice to have a separate depreciation account per category that will line up to the categories of depreciation that are on the sub ledger that will be given to you or provided by your tax accountant, hopefully. Remember that the accountant will have to do it on a tax based system, but they can usually provide also with their software, since they're already doing the data input, a book based system as well. You also have to think about whether or not you want your books done on a cash based system or a book based system with regards to the depreciation because a book based system would be more proper, but if you do a cash based system, then you don't have any of these differences between your books and the tax books. So it's kind of a, you know, there's pros and cons. So talk to your, I would talk to your accountant when you're setting up your fixed asset accounts and how you're gonna record depreciation and how they're gonna be doing the tax software and whether their tax software has book depreciation and that kind of stuff. So once you have the categories together, then there's kind of an issue as to whether you wanna have sub accounts to record the related accumulated depreciation to the fixed assets. You can see here that we've got accumulated depreciation above the furniture and a fixture. It should be the other way around. It's got that alphabetical order issue here, which we could adjust with account numbers, but that kind of means we have to use account numbers, of course, or we can try to adjust it with the sorting mechanism to see it in descending order so that we have it this way or we can use sub accounts. And so we'll dive into that a little bit more, especially when we get to the adjusting entry component.


Hey everyone, this is Dan. On Saturday, May 27th, 2023, the news came out that President Joe Biden and the House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy reached a tentative debt-sealing deal to avert default of the U.S. national debts. It is still pending a vote in the House of Representative in which the Republicans have a majority. If the House passes the bill, it should sell through the Senate easily because the Democrats have a majority control of the Senate. Does that mean the stock market will shoot up from here? Let's look at what happened to the market during the last three times when the debt-sealing crises were resolved. They happened in 2011, 2013, and 2021. Based on the news developments in those years, the debt-sealing issues were resolved on August 2, 2011, October 16, 2013, and October 7, 2021. Let's use those three days as the starting points and look at how the S&P Index ETF spy changed after the starting points. The chart here shows in 2021, which is represented by the gray line, that SPY went down about 1% five days after the starting point. That's when an agreement was reached to resolve the debt-sealing. But SPY went up more than 3% 10 days later and went up more than 7% 30 days later. For 2013, which is the orange line, SPY also went up more than 5% after 30 days. For 2011, which is a blue line, it doesn't look too good. SPY actually went down more than 7% after 30 days. Why was 2011 so bad? The main reason was that a major credit rating agency, Standard & Poor's, downgraded the US National Debt from AAA to AA+, three days after the agreement was reached to lift the debt-sealing. The stock market tanked right after that. If you're interested in what you've seen so far, I'd like to suggest for you to click the like, subscribe, and notification buttons that'll enable you to receive notification when I post my next video. It'll also encourage me to make more videos like this in the future. Thank you very much. We have a lot of interesting stuff to cover. Let's continue. In 2013, DAGON Global Credit Rating, which is a state-owned credit rating agency based in China, downgraded US National Debt from AAA to AA+, just one day after the debt-sealing crisis was resolved. The downgrade did not negatively impact the stock market in 2013. That's because DAGON is not nearly as influential as S&P. The major credit rating agencies are Standard & Poor's, Fitch, and Moody's. Before a major credit rating agency downgrades the US Debt, it usually issues warnings. In 2023, we have heard of the following warnings. On May 24th, Fitch put the US on notice for a potential credit downgrade, and on May 25th, DBRS also put the US Debt on downgrade notice. In the meanwhile, on a positive note, Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen originally said the US was going to run out of money to pay its debts on June 1st if the debt-sealing were not raised. But on Friday, May 26th, Secretary Yellen revised the drop-debt date from June 1st to June 5th, considering that the Congress still has a few more days before June 5th to pass the bill to lift the debt-sealing. There is still a very good chance that the US debt will not be downgraded by the major credit rating agencies. If there is no downgrade, the market will behave more like 2013 and 2021. That means the market will go up if there is no credit downgrade in 2023. In light of all these, what are my investment strategies? I've sowed some of my long positions on May 16th to lock in profits, expecting some last-minute suspense and debt-sealing negotiations between the administration and the GOP Congressional leaders. I will buy long positions such as SPXL, TQQ, ASML, AMD, Alphabet as soon as the debt-sealing is lifted. And I might short the market by buying SPXS or SQQQ if the debt-sealing is not lifted by June 5th, 2023. And I'll update my Twitter subscribers almost on a daily basis. If I don't hear of any deterioration of the agreement between President Biden and Representative McCarthy in the next few days, I will most likely buy long positions. At this point, I'd like to suggest that you're subscribed to my Twitter account in addition to subscribing to my YouTube channel. I update my subscribers almost on a daily basis about important news related to the market. I also inform my Twitter subscribers about some of my trades. Thank you for watching all the way here.

This is the first time I forgot to record a video intro in a long time since I started my rebrand. So today I'm sharing with you when I used to work in the automotive shop at work and whenever I used to work in the shop at school and I hope you guys enjoy, but let's just get to today's video. Okay, so my love for vehicles started way back whenever I was a kid. I used to go to a lot of car shows and I didn't know a lot of information, like I can't tell you what engine is supposed to be in it and all this stuff, but I can do a lot of stuff on vehicles myself and I really enjoy it. It's kind of a side hobby that I like to do. Problem is I have been able to do it for a while, but I plan whenever I get my own vehicle to be able to work on it, do some improvements, upgrades and stuff like that whenever I have to. So I know how to do quite a bit to vehicles, so it's not a problem with that. I'm not gonna be able to do it often as right now because I don't have a vehicle. I don't work in a shop. I don't work at a place that has a shop anymore either. But back in high school, the 10th grade is back whenever I had my first automotive class and honestly, I loved it from day one. Used to do a lot of different stuff, work with a bunch of the different tools. One of my favorite things which I wasn't able to do quite often was welding and the reason I wasn't able to do it is because we'd be put in groups to do various projects in that and there'd always be somebody else who really was passionate and more passionate about welding than I was. I was heavily into design as I've mentioned before on this channel. So I would design a lot of the projects and help do them, but there'd be other people that'd be welding, other people that would be cutting everything and stuff like that. So they used to put me in charge of basically designing what we're supposed to be doing because nobody else had an idea of what we're supposed to be doing other than me, apparently. That wasn't just me, Reagan. That's what the teacher used to say too. But in the 11th and 12th grade, they used to expand and do more stuff in the shop. I used to do a lot of oil changes, a lot of tire changeovers. I used to do a lot of different types of stuff like that. In the 12th grade, we would fabricate what was a maple syrup evaporator, but the problem with that, it was gonna be the teacher's personal maple syrup evaporator. Problem with that was every time we would do something, he would come by and change the plan, say, no, I like this, but let's change it and do it this way. So we'd have to disassemble everything and cut everything out that we've already put together. And I'm talking about just from the day one, like just putting the frame together of the way he wanted with what he supplied us, we had to keep redoing it. And by redoing it, that took an extra couple of days to take it all apart, put it the way he wanted it, and then all of a sudden he changed his mind again and we have to keep redoing it. So in the 12th grade, that's one of the projects that never got finished because he kept changing his mind of how he wanted the design done. And then it came to graduation, so I'm not sure 100% if he got it done, but that was one of the projects that even though he kept changing, I enjoyed doing, I really enjoy creating stuff, I really enjoy fabrication, but like I said, I just can't do it right now because I'm not in a position that I can, I don't work in a shop, I don't have a shop, but whenever I get my own vehicle, I'll be able to do a lot more. And I can't wait for that, but I used to do a lot of different stuff on vehicles. In the shop, at school, he used to bring a lot of vehicles in, so there was a 1968 Dodge Dart, apparently it was a rare one, but it was all rusted out, so we're supposed to be, it was donated to the school and we're supposed to do a couple of things to it and get it back up and running. But he eventually gave up on that project, I think it was a year after he graduated, he gave up on it. But we used to do a lot of work on that. He had a 1978 Jeep and it was this ferry addition, so the roof came off, the windshield lowered down, the doors came off, it was really cool. I've never really seen a Jeep up close that had all those available on it, so we used to do a lot of work on that. We used to have to gut it, go from square one, basically redoing a lot of the body panels inside, welding in the right stuff, putting new floor panels in. That's kinda all I did with the Jeep and he also had a 19, I'm gonna get this one wrong, a 1984, something like that. Ford F350, it was his own personal truck he just bought, so we decided to gut it out and he wanted to redo a lot of the molding and put actual metal in, so we had to shape the metal and he basically let us do our own design, so out of the three students that were doing it, we're a group, everybody was told to do their own design and the teacher would pick his best one, whichever one he liked the most, to put in the vehicle and apparently he liked mine better than the other guys, so we basically designed the truck with all of my metal work, so instead of the plastic molding, we would shape and bend the metal and weld it in. I don't think we got to the welding point, I think that was something the teacher decided to do just because it was a major thing, he didn't wanna have it screwed up. So high school working on the shop was really fun for me, it was really creative, I got to do various projects and while I was still in high school, I worked for Canadian Tire, which I just recently left after five years, but back in high school, I was about not even a year working at Canadian Tire and they asked me, no, yeah, I think I wasn't even a year working at Canadian Tire and they finally asked me to work in the shop because whenever I had my interview, whenever I first got hired, it was with the intent that I was gonna be helping out in the shop, I was gonna be doing oil changes, I was gonna be doing tire changeovers, like the simple stuff, because I'm not certified, that's all I can do at Canadian Tires. So that's what they were supposed to have me do, but it was almost a year later until they actually got me out there doing it. So they finally got me out there doing it, but I was only doing it once every other Saturday and it was with a mechanic who did not like to teach. He claims he was an automotive teacher at one point. I highly doubt it because he wasn't willing to show me anything. I basically went from the mindset of school, taking your time, doing things right, to going into Canadian Tire, trying to do things quick and trying not to screw up. So to have going from take your time and get it done right to speed up and make sure it just gets done was really confusing for me and to have a mechanic that wasn't willing to show you the right way to do anything was extremely frustrating for me. I didn't know where anything was in the shop. I've never worked there. They supplied me with my own tools. So I had my own socket set, my own air gun, various stuff, gloves, goggles, stuff like that. But they never, like he never showed me where anything was in the shop that I needed to use. And it was at a point where it was like, why am I doing this? Why am I out here? It's, of course it's gonna take me twice as long to do stuff if I don't know where anything is and there's nobody willing to show me. So they even started to have me do tire repairs, which I was not comfortable with mainly because I was not showing how to do it. There was a little grinder. You had to grind away. You had to put the plug and patch in. You had to put the resin on, right? But I was shown once and I wasn't shown properly. So I just went ahead and did it because I was told just to do it. And it turns out I put tire sealant or I put something on that wasn't supposed to be. And it actually was eating away at the tire. So they blamed me but it's like, I didn't know where anything was. I pointed, I lifted up a can and said, is this the right stuff? And he said, yep.  Nobody told me there was no guidance. There was nothing. And it was one of the frustrating things. Another thing that was frustrating was I didn't have my license. But even if I did have my license because I am not certified, I'm not technically supposed to drive vehicles into the shop. That is a major no-no. And they were getting kind of pissed off because I wouldn't drive vehicles in the shop which I wasn't licensed to begin with. But I wasn't certified. Like I wasn't insured through Canadian Tire to do it. So if I got an accident, even just pulling it into the shop or if anything were to happen, I'd be at fault and that was not being lied on me. I was not going to be doing that. So they kept having to stop to bring vehicles in which they were not really happy with but it's like, that's what you have to do. So for me doing it every two weekends, every other Saturday, to going down to just one Saturday a month. And the reason for that is because the other person that was part-time at Canadian Tire at the time, he started to complain saying, hey, I want to be in the shop too. And because his mother was a manager, if they made that happen. Instead of me being in the shop every other Saturday, I was only in the shop once a month. So that was hard on me. So I just stopped really caring. I didn't really want to be in the shop if I'm not going to be given the hours.  I was still trying my best. And it came to a point where they pulled me out of the shop, never explained why. But honestly, I didn't really care. Then I heard down the line, it's because they apparently were saying I didn't know what I was doing. I was taking forever. And my one co-worker who I'm really good friends with even to this day, mentioned to them, are you guys sure it's not because they are not willing to help them? They're not actually showing him how to do stuff. And it's not that he doesn't know how to do it, but there's just no guidance. And they said, well, let's find out. So they actually pulled me into the shop on the opposite weekend working with the other tech who's not a licensed mechanic, but he seems to know a lot more than the actual licensed mechanic there. And we started to do own things. I wasn't working on my own vehicles. I was just helping him that day. But he praised me up and down. He said I was honestly the best worker he had. I knew a lot more than what I was being told by the other mechanic. And they just weren't giving me a chance. And that was why. But after that, that was the last time I was in the shop. They just never went forward with it. The other guy kept being in the shop until he started to have a lot of big, really big screw ups. I'm talking he'd forget to tighten lug nuts. He would forget to tighten the drain plug for the oil or he'd forget to put that in it.  Sure, you might forget to change the oil filter, but you're gonna remember if you took the plug out to put the plug back in. Like to me, that's common sense. So there was a lot of big problems he was doing. So he got pulled out of the shop. He was pissed, but there was a reason he was pulled out of the shop. For me, there was no reason. But still to this day, I know how to do my own brakes. I know who to do my own oil changes, how to do tires. I know how to do quite a bit on my vehicle. And if there's something I don't know, I look it up really quick or I get some advice from an actual mechanic and they will tell me basically how to do it. So I love doing things to my own vehicles. I don't have one right now, but I usually work on my parents' vehicle or if anybody needs help with something, I'll at least help them out. Or at least I'll give them some advice of what they should do with the problem because I worked at Canadian Tire for five years. I know how to advise people to make the right decisions of what a problem could be by just them explaining what the vehicle is doing. So I do like that. But I really wish I get a vehicle soon so I can be working on my own vehicles. I really wish I could be buying vehicles, fixing them up and selling them. That's something else I'd love to do. But this was just kind of the story of what I used to do. It's been in quite a few years. It's been at least, I'd say two to three years since I've been able to work on vehicles actively. Now I just do it here and there. But hopefully I get back into it. But this story is long enough. I will see you guys in the next video. Please take care. Peace.


Hey there, this is Mr. P. On today's lesson, we're going to look at editing for clarity. Yes, to make sentences complete and clear, obviously. So let's get started. On today's agenda, we have identified problems with missing words. Within that, we're going to edit these problems. Then we're going to include that when needed. We're going to make comparisons clear. And finally, we're going to add articles where necessary. So let's get started. Identify problems with missing words. So writers should be particularly alert for missing words in the following situations. Compound structures. Dependent clauses beginning with that. And comparisons. We have an example combining all these three situations. Somebody might write something like, he claims matrix one is better. I, that matrix two is. Well, there are a lot of words missing here. We should write something like, he claims that matrix one is better than matrix two. I claim that matrix two is better than matrix one. It makes more sense. We are going to discuss how to avoid omissions. Ask yourself these three questions. Number one, are any additional words needed to make a sentence idiomatic and grammatical? Let's take a look at this example. Commuting in carpools, train or bus can help reduce the nation's consumption of oil. Well, if you add the preposition by, so commuting in carpools by train or by bus can help reduce the nation's consumption of oil. It makes more sense. The second question you should ask yourself is, is the word that missing when it's needed for clarity? For example, many companies suggest their employees carpool or take mass transit to work. Hmm, that's not that clear, right? How about if you add that? Many companies suggest that their employees carpool or take mass transit to work. It makes more sense here. Question number three, are all comparisons clear and complete? So, for example, carpooling is more energy efficient. Hmm, it's better to write carpooling is more energy efficient than driving alone, right? So it makes more sense. You added more words and it's clear. Let's take a look at how to edit problems with missing words. Add words that are needed to make compound structures complete and clear. The second is can be omitted in the following example because the verb in the first part of the compound structure is also is. The defendant's anger is extreme and his behavior violent. Yeah, we can omit is here. The defendant's anger is extreme and his behavior is violent. We can even say that, but really is not needed because we already mentioned is on the first clause. Do not leave out parts of the compound structure unless both parts of the compound are the same. For example, the gang members neither cooperate nor listen to the authorities. Well, guess what? We need the preposition with because listen to, okay? And then we need to add the preposition of cooperated. So, cooperated with. So, like I said here, both prepositions are needed in this sentence. Cooperated with and listen to. I have more to say about this. Similarly, when grammar requires different forms of a word in each part of a compound, both forms should appear in the sentence. The boss flies first class, the rest of us economy class. It is better to add the verb also in the second clause. The boss flies first class, the rest of us fly economy class. Sometimes to avoid misunderstanding, you may need to repeat a word even when it serves the same function in both parts of a compound structure. The author dedicated the book to the children and teachers. Well, if you add here, the possessive adjective her is better. So the author dedicated the book to her children and her teachers, right? Is I don't know if you heard about parallelism. If you haven't heard, I suggest a video that I created on this subject, parallelism. So if we add the possessive adjective with children, then it's better to add it with teachers too. The repetition makes it clear that the children and the teachers are not the same people. Now let's take a look at the second point, included that when needed. Some people use which instead of that, such as I need a book which will explain the French Revolution. I need a book that will explain the French Revolution. It's more grammatical. Others will omit that when it would be grammatically appropriate to include it. Some people write I like the music sting plays. It's better to add that here. I like the music that sting plays. To avoid confusion, do not omit that when the subordinate clause starts with anything other than a subject, such as an adverb. So for example, the book claims eventually the people got too hungry. So the book claims that eventually the people got too hungry. That's much better. When in doubt, use the grammatically correct subordinator. Let's take a look at our third point, make comparisons clear. To be clear, comparisons must be complete. For example, peanut butter sandwiches are boring. It's incomplete. Why? Because I don't give an option, right? For example, if I said chicken sandwiches are more interesting than peanut butter once, it's complete. The meaning is clear now. Add missing words were necessary when the meaning is not clear. For example, I loved my grandmother more than my sister. Did you love your sister more than your grandmother? Or what? No, I meant I loved my grandmother more than my sister did. So that makes it clear. Include the words other or else to clarify comparisons, when the subject of the comparison belongs to the same category to which it is being compared. For example, high school stage the rest sisters more than any play. It's better to add other here. High school stage the rest sisters more than any other play. Or we can have something like Prof Kunin has written more books than anyone in the department. Prof Kunin has written more books than anyone else in the horror department. It sounds much better. I have something else to tell you about number three. Use a possessive form when comparing attributes or possessions. For example, Plato's philosophy is easier to read than that of Aristotle. It's better to write something like Plato's philosophy is easier to read than Aristotle's. Remember that complex comparisons may require more than one addition to be completely clear. For example, Smith's book is longer, but his account of the war is more interesting than John's. So it's better to write something like Smith's book is longer than John's book. But his account of the war is more interesting than John's account, right? The message here is specific and clear. Now let's go to the fourth point, add articles where necessary. In English, omitting an article can make an expression sound odd. A dog that bites should be kept on leash. It's better to add the article A. A dog that bites should be kept on a leash. Or we can have something like he gave me books he liked best. He gave me the books he liked best, right? It's more specific, the books. If the articles in a series are different, each must be included. So for example, the classroom contains an aquarium, a bird cage and a rabbit hutch. No, you need to add the articles here. The classroom contains an aquarium, a bird cage and a rabbit hutch. So now over to you. Yes, that's right. Let's practice. So I'm going to give you five minutes to complete these sentences. And then I will give you the key. So pause the video, please. Now that you have your sentences ready, let's look at the key. Number one, Ramu's poor, but he is an honest man. So we're missing the article N. No A, but N honest, because we don't pronounce the H here. Number two, have you visited the Taj Mahal in Agra? Article the missing here. Number three, Akbar was Jahan here's father. Number four, the train left N hour ago. We're missing the article N here. H is not pronounced again. Number five, Spain is larger, larger than Belgium. We're missing then. Number six, Sophie takes the bus to school every morning. And I take, we need to repeat the verb here, the car. Number seven, Lord of the Rings won more awards than any, any other. We're missing other film in 2004. Well, people, that's it for today. So if you haven't subscribed to my channel, please do.

One of the most common questions I get asked is, you know, how do I start day trading? So what me and my mentor about it for our viewers on YouTube is create a free mentorship course that reveals our 12 secrets that every single brand new day trader should know before they get started. But please take note that there is limited seating every single week. So please reserve your spot at myinvestingclub.co. The link is in the description. All right. So, December 15, 2020. We're going to talk about today is we're going to talk about the results of the implied volatility crush, or as people say, the crush. What it can do when the stock doesn't go in the direction that that most of the volume anticipates and what we warned about. Yeah, I know I'm good. I'm just being sarcastic. I can't miss a good sarcasm opportunity. All right, so we talked about implied volatility crush and how it can really, really, really negatively affect your long term positions. And we talked about a couple plays on which we would sell premium or otherwise we would short the calls. OK, so basically, for those of you that are not educated in options, totally fine. Jump into the options bootcamp, especially that dude that's only been here. That's only it's got the free month binge watch, bro. Binge watch, binge watch, binge watch. Now, if, for example, you had taken these trades, I want to show the results of it. Now, remember, premium selling. I'm not going to talk about fancy spreads or hedges or this or that. I'm not talking about those positions per se. What I want to point out is you can use this stuff as a directional trader, right? Like we want to trade the direction that we think the stock is going to go. We think the stock is going to go higher. So we buy calls, but at that very point in time and the market is basically overpricing those calls on the underlying stock. So the volatility is very, very, very inflated.  So, yeah, absolutely. Don't don't go jumping into options before watching those videos. Watch the boot camp videos, watch the boot camp videos, watch the boot camp videos. It's absolutely crucial. So and then what I'm also going to talk about today is the is the the whole Santa Claus rally. So I'm going to share some data with you guys to kind of quantify what's happening. And because I covered my short position today, as you can see, we've kind of we've got this really, I mean, we had a really bearish, bearish move on Monday where we gapped back as a fat gap in the market and we sold. Look at the hourly candles all red, all red, gap up, slight grind. And then just here we are breaking out of that. So we set a high and a low, a lower high, a higher low. And now. Yeah, don't ask me questions if you haven't watched the videos, because I'll know if you haven't watched the videos based on the questions that you asked me, I will answer any question, any question. After you've watched the videos, after you watch the videos, you can light me up and I will answer everything.   So use them. All right. So with premium selling, we need to talk about an options chart here. So one of the biggest premium selling situations was with GME or GameStop. OK, this was based on earnings. OK, so the earnings. And here's what I don't understand. OK, here's what I don't understand with the PS4 with with the Xbox six thousand or whatever PS5 or whatever freaking issue we are on now at this point. Fifty three cents, we still lost money. A dollar forty we still I mean like nothing is improving for GME at this point. You know, there's some bullish outlook on it that still remains. OK, great. But here's what I want to point out here. We got the the whole by the rumor by the rumor that the earnings are going to be great. So the run already occurs, the run occurs. And what you'll see in this chart is you will see and I think I've got it here yet. You'll see how look at the height right here, the height right here. This is the implied volatility. You'll see that implied volatility in the options is increasing, increasing, increasing, and now look, it's at it's at all time lows basically at this point. So it's very indicative when you see something like this, that even if you remain bullish on the stock, OK, here's how you can. I don't care if you like if you're like me and you don't really sell premium. I've tried a couple of times and just it's not for me, it's just not like I'm like I start like I do it and I'm like, meh, I don't really have no interest in this. Hey, guys, my name is Tosh Bradley. I'm one of the head mentors and moderators of my investing club. If you have any questions about getting started in trading, getting started in M.I.C., M.I.C. in general, text me at<PHONE_NUMBER>. This is not a robot, it is me directly on the other end of my business line. And we'll get you in the club. We also have special promotions going on that I can get to you depending on your trading needs. Hit me up. What you can do is you can use this to your advantage if the premium or this little ranking right here is over this red line. Stock is going parabolic. This line is increasing, increasing, increasing, increasing. Ideally, you want it over 50. Really, all this is saying is don't continue to overstay in a long position that stops working. Because as soon as this dies or has any kind of pullback like that. If your option was doing this, right, your options going up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up. And then all of a sudden it just kind of starts going like that. Or the worst case scenario is once it actually blows off and you're like, all right, let me buy this dip, right? Let me buy that dip right there. But what happens is that's when your premium starts going sideways because the volatility has died down. It's reached a peak and the cost of your calls is just going to it's just going to dwindle like this because the interest in the stock going higher is not there even though, even though it could still have a bullish chart. People are not bullish on it going much higher any time soon. So you have to pay attention to that, even if you're not selling premium. You need to know that to not get yourself caught in a trade that is going to work against you immediately, simply because you're not in at the right time.   But you've got to have a big account to do it. And so I don't really recommend it. But it is they are grotesquely overpriced, in my opinion.  And then, yes, in Tesla, Tesla is the same way. Absolutely. Tesla is the same way Monday. I can't use this analogy. I have a good analogy that I wanted to use that describes the prices of options. But it's inappropriate. So the premium is very high on Monday. And on by Friday, it's it's in the single digits. But Monday, it's, you know, 20, 30, 40, $50, $60 per contract. But if you're on the if you can get on the right side of that trade by Friday, I mean, you're making 90 percent every single week, week in and week out. And so it but it's tough to do it's risky. And but if you're good at it, then I mean, more power to you. There's ways to hedge yourself. There's ways to protect yourself. And I think that, you know, everybody needs to try to educate themselves on that matter, don't necessarily think it's like 1000 percent necessary to make those trades, but it's a great way to path the wallet in the in the times where you like, OK, I don't want to short. But I don't want to long because we're just in this like moment where it's like it's too high of a price, but, you know, don't short it because we've seen what that does. But maybe we need to consolidate. OK, well, let me sell some premium there. Let me short some calls.  And I can, you know, get some money off of the short. On the bulls. So there's ways to make money there. Anyway, so GME at this time right here, this crush that happens in implied volatility, your position, even if you're long from here, even if you're long from here at 1540 and it opens at 14, that's not a very big drop. OK, it's not that big. But in terms of premium, like when that happens, it just. Thanks, the premium just dies, which means the stock's going to need some more time to to play out now. These these fresh plays like this, like QS, YQ, PLTR, I want to talk about these. These are opportunities to sell calls because you think about the majority of the market, the majority of the market is bullish, right? And so recently, what's been happening is the puts have not been moving. OK, so put contracts are contracts that you buy in options when you want the price of the stock to go down. So when the stock when the stock price goes down, the put price goes up, you make money. So when you short the calls, then you are betting against the bulls. OK, so the bull in in reason why I say short calls rather than buy puts at this very moment is because the bull just cannot stop making money. And so when something finally pulls back, they're like, no, never, never, this did never happen. Y'all have a good one. We'll see you later. Thank you so much for watching our video.

things they just talked a lot that's what the page of pentacles you notice a lot of pages here so I feel like this relationship might have been a tad bit like like some image it was immature you know like it there wasn't a lot of growth perhaps there was a maybe a lot of talk about like you know a lot of talk and no action you know that could have been a reason why there might have been like that not today card where there was like nah don't want to talk anymore nothing's happening and maybe there was a separation of some sort doesn't negate the fact that I feel like somebody here is really

something in their life happen and you know they got some kind of blessing when they were given a second chance you know they got some kind of a pardon and had that awakening of like okay you know what I need to do I've got cards flying everywhere okay there's that seven of wands that's standing with standing up for themselves what they want yeah this person listen this person has come to like some kind of some kind of I don't want to like I almost want to say it's an awakening but I feel like they were led with that with that star car you know it's fireworks you know like when you get knocked on the head and you and you see stars you get that phosphine stuff happening in your eyes you like see stars you know that like I don't know if this person got a concussion and woke up like in a whole new dimension it's like whoa what's going on maybe they were tripping or something happened to them they had like some kind of something happened to them I can't they can't get they're not giving me specific but it's caused this major lifestyle change yeah I mean good for them good for them that's what I feel like so this week definitely as far as love goes as far as romance as far as like life shifts and stuff with this person I do feel like you're gonna be hearing from them and you know like I said some of you you know some of you might just be like you're not answering the phone you're hanging up but the majority of you I kind of feel like you're gonna be like oh an avocado you know what I mean just kind of like oh hey how's it going all right you guys look I just want to share something with you because it is the week reading going forward I got a new deck and we are going to split this reading into career in life right so we're gonna look at a couple other things

and see what life whatever shows up here and yes I did get the wellness I don't have wellness white cards so that we didn't so my black cards and fade okay I've got guidance divine forces are showing you the way to go you're discovering another piece of your destiny and your purpose in life so this week you're gonna get some guidance this week about your path you're gonna get like a little clue I always like when I say a little clue I always think of Rosie O'Donnell from sleepless in Seattle she's like a little oh it's a little clue you're gonna get a little clue about your your purpose in life right so you expect a little clue this week about what you mean you know the path you need to go and that's gonna require a lot of patience on your part because you might be seeking answers you're not getting anywhere making a headway you're gonna get a little clue this week that's gonna be like a little light bulb moment where it's like aha you know about your destiny where you need to go so just wait for that wait for the answers to come in see what else you got coming up for you this week what else does Fergo need to know okay you've got progress nice it seems like a long slog but your efforts will pay off soon stay on course for at least a few more months before making a change okay so don't quit I feel like that's a message progress just don't quit I was like don't quit for the miracle happens right because usually people quit right before the miracle happens always always always because you run out of patience or perseverance you know they get tired and get sick of doing the the grind you know that's where the magic happens in the daily grind so I might feel like oh let's do this again let's do this again your efforts will pay off just stay the course whatever it is that you're working on whatever you're doing feels like a little pep talk if anything but you know you'll see the results just wait a few more months see what else you need to know here for your weekly message renewal you need to take time to recharge your energy to get back on track challenges ahead require you to have faith and a breakthrough so this is so key you know taking time to recharge your energy that means like I always say the building happens during the recovery that's when the most growth happens you know I mean you got to go do your workout you know what I mean but the rest days are as equally important and you got to take those rest days good nutrition good sleep even on your days when you're recovering make them like active recovery days right where you go instead of like pushing it too hard take those days to just gentle be gently gently be active but gently active you know that's that's keeping yourself going but being kind to yourself right so that's part of your renewal right and some days it just requires taking nap some days you just need that nap you know just take that nap or some days you just need to sit for 20 minutes just sit if you know if you don't sleep you know or you know you're at your desk if you're at a desk all day go out and take it that 15 minute walk if you can get outside you know or just get away from your desk and go to another department you know or go in the break room and just sit in there for 10 minutes and read a book just just get yourself in a different environment you know that's part of your renewal whatever it is you know get in a different atmosphere change your scene man change the scenery a little bit the mental geographical change as well okay you've got connections here build bridges between people contact those who can help you your actions set you up for the next opportunity you know networking man networking I keep saying man I don't know who I'm channeling here because I never say man very rarely but networking is really important to building your to making progress and whatever you're building right diplomacy is key building bridges between people contact those who can help you right so don't kind of spin your wheels if you've got a plan and you're trying to get from point A to point B you know you don't need to be out in the world spin in your wheels with people that if you have an agenda you need to you know put some wheels on that agenda and go in the direction of your dreams and people will help you get there but you need to pick and choose those people who are going to be able to help you people want everybody trades trade is a high value commodity and you know bartering getting out there it's it's not so much about just putting your resume out there it's not so much about what you can do but like what can you do for me right we all we all offer things to people and we all get things from others we make those trades and those connections you know building those bridges with people can help get you from point A to point B it's not so much your skills you know it's not so much your education as it is the people you talk to and the connections you make to get you where you need to go right so this week it's all about guidance progress renewal and connections right and I feel like it's really important as far as your life in your career goes well if you're focusing on that that you you pay attention to those four key words this week okay and in what areas they can completely help you to get to where you need to go this week okay let me see let me see here I just want to see if there's any other messages for you with these one more actually I just want to get one more this is my first time using this deck so hope you guys like it I think it's all right oh wow good you've got power position you are being promoted or called to lead time to step in your sovereignty and guide others with compassion this is awesome so this tells me you're being looked at for a promotion or a position to lead in your career and to guide others so for some of you I don't know who you're being looked at by but some of you are going to be receiving a promotion or you know a step up to lead a team or to lead others or to create some kind of a team going forward or you well at least being you're being called you may not realize it right now as you're listening it may be coming later you may already feel like you're being called to do something but you don't know what and I feel like that's what it is you might already know that you have the ability to lead a team in some area but you you might not be sure that's what you're being called to do I kind of feel like maybe meditate on that a little bit and try to see if that's in alignment with what you're feeling power position requires an awful lot of responsibility leading a team for sure this could be an accompanying this could be in the military this could be in a government type of a job anything like that you could be creating your own type of a company where you're going to be heading everything up like a CEO or exec type of position anything like that power position means you're like front and center so pay attention if you want to do self-employment become self-employed or create your own company you could be called at this time to do that that's kind of a power position it pretty much is like hands-on you got to do everything but you can hire people if you can afford it or you can ask for help build those connections with people to kind of come in and like give you some guidance here to do that okay so I feel like I mean I wish I could tell you hey you're gonna you're gonna like hit the jackpot lottery this week but I feel like this is more about you manifesting this stuff on your own so again this is called career and life oracle deck manufacture is cosmic lights and I found this deck I think I got it on Amazon might have been so you could just look it up on Amazon it's definitely not an Etsy be careful on Etsy you guys because I ordered something on Etsy I actually ordered believe it or not this deck on Etsy and I got scammed yeah they took my money yeah it was a fake account so even I get gypped I should have known because they had zero reviews but I was so eager and it was the only one they had and it couldn't find it anywhere but I was careless and negligent in doing research but I did find this deck on Amazon so got it the next day the other one made me wait a week so whatever and this was a lot cheaper so shit happens those types of scams you can't get your money back because they then after they get your money they disappear off off of they just they they delete themselves so they can't be contacted and then they create a new account and then they scam everybody again they take more money and they just keep doing it they recycle themselves and they just keep taking their petty thieves they take like 13 bucks petty thieves they just keep recycling I mean I can't even imagine going doing that kind of work it's just such a waste of money but I guess enough people do it it's whatever let me get a couple of messages of love for you because I really feel like I want to throw some in here for you this is a little bit longer for my weekly reads but all right so you have decision it's time to decide about this relationship and I feel like that was pretty clear because you do have somebody here who's just not giving up on a relationship or is coming in it's safe to trust in the situation that doesn't say it's safe to trust the person but it's safe to trust the situation and maybe at the decision that you need to make if anything trust yourself okay let's see okay you've got fate this is a Dustin partnership at least it is for this person maybe it is for you too and forgiveness for giving yourself another will help you move forward are you guys let's get I'm gonna do some Chinese signs all right we're starting with the year of the dog year of the rabbit year of the rat year of the ox this could be you this could be your person this could be both of you or neither year of the rooster year of the dragon year of the tiger year of the monkey get double monkey one more year of the snake okay so keep that in the back your mind if it resonates great if it doesn't don't worry about it

ever all right you guys so fork you it's all I can say okay you have a fork okay I don't even know what to say it's a three-pronged fork so that's like a serving fork I think it is a three-pronged fork a salad fork I can't remember my my etiquette a three-pronged fork that's a specific fork so you might find like you might find like a fork I mean this is not an uncommon thing you know I mean we all know it's not uncommon to see a fork somewhere but I don't let me see if I can really into it what this means oh they just gave me a name they just said Eugene or Eugenia Eugene or Eugenia okay that's very odd and then they just said Edmund Edmonton Edmonton Edmonton okay so or Ed so usually the devil has a fork a pitch fork though but this devil does not carry a fork let me see something now I'm not picking up energy by this yeah maybe you find like a silver or gold fork somewhere that's worth a lot of money are you looking for a fork right now there's some connection to a fork and I don't know what it is it could just be about feeding yourself or eating well or you can't find a fork and you know here it is too bad you can't have it you're gonna have to eat with your fingers I don't know it's a three-pronged fork I'm gonna leave it there cuz I'm not really I'm just the only thing I'm really getting is someone's name starting with the letter E that's really the biggest thing that I'm getting I'm not getting all that much more from that which is odd if anything if I pick up anything I'll put it in the chat if anything else comes to me while we're listening to the chat but nothing else and maybe the letters are the number three which is all about communication new communication coming in too okay so I'm gonna leave that there you guys I hope that you had a great weekend and yeah I will see you all back here tomorrow same bet time same bet channel have a fantastic evening thank you for being here thank you to the mods for being here as well and yeah take care
