Do you know if you are a perceiver or a judge? Let me explain the characteristics to you and please comment below and let me know which one of the two you think you are and Also, which one of the two you think that I am and then I'll talk about how each type adds or strengthens the possibility of growing an authentic business and What you might want to learn from the other type whatever whichever one you are Okay, so first of all the perceiver judge your dichotomy is a personality typing It's part of a personality typing system called Myers-Briggs. You may have heard of it It a lot of people take the test when they're in some schools, you know And so please let me know what you think you are your perceiver or judge. Let me start with Describing the perceiver because according to a 2017 study by the very company That publishes Myers-Briggs Entrepreneurs tend to be perceivers. Okay, and perceivers what what what describes a perceiver? They are and I'm gonna look at my notes here as I go along. They're curious. They're creator They they're creative. They'd love to gather information They tend to work independently because they don't like bureaucracy. They don't like rules and structure They're more open to risk-taking They're more adaptable. So they don't need to prepare a lot of contingencies and escape clauses and they prefer to keep their options open That's that's a central Defining characteristic of a perceiver However, because perceivers are open very open and carefree They also tend to be indecisive. They want to keep their options open. So they don't like to decide Make a decision and certainly the decision comes very slowly They don't work well with deadlines They don't naturally manage their time well. They're they're often stressed if they're asked to make a quick decision or perform a quick action Also, they don't mind changing tracks in the middle of a project So the perceivers tend to like to start things and not necessarily finish them They don't like routine and they tend to procrastinate More than judges do So does that describe you I would love to know How you resonate with that or if you if you know perceivers in your life or if you are one We all are on the spectrum and the reality is that we all we're all in the spectrum between perceiver and judge and P's or J's sometimes are called and then We all can flex the muscle of the other side as well because as human beings ultimately We are moldable and our personality type can actually change over the years It takes a lot of work to change the personality type but or takes an environment that totally makes you something over many years but Generally, you are the way you're born and raised you tend to be one one type and then Trying to be another type takes you more energy And training or practice etc. So let me now describe Let me know so what do you think you are go ahead and comment below before I go on are you a perceiver? Did I just describe you or are you probably the opposite? Go ahead and let me know alright Let me start to describe the judges now. Okay, so judges on the other hand J's like to Love to plan things out. They love calendars Scheduling things following their schedule to do lists deadlines routines. They love closure and completion They like to make decisions, you know, let's figure out what we're gonna do. Let's they like predictability You know, they don't so they get they get bent out of shape more quickly when things don't go according to plan That's one one of the one of the weaknesses by the both sides of strengths and weaknesses So that's one of the weaknesses of judges So they don't have a they don't have an easy time dealing with unexpected information Things don't going to go according to their plan. And so they don't tend to to Want to become entrepreneurs. They tend that they like the security of a job I know exactly what I'm you know when my income is coming in and They don't like risk and uncertainty So which one are you? Are you a perceiver? Are you a? Judger, what do you think you are and thank you Ida Ida I was already put in there that Ida sounds like you know what you're what you've taken the test So you you are an INSP Actually, I think it's I think your iron INFP I believe because That that third letter is either feeling or thinking so anyway, so I I tend to attract a lot of iron INFPs into my into my clientele So can you guess what I am? Am I a perceiver? Am I a judge? Let me let me keep going and I just love I just love for you to take a guess It just based on what you know about me what you what you can Okay, so let me just continue on with my notes here The thing about judging perceiving is that it's not like I said It's not a inborn trait that you are that way forever more, but they call it a preference So you you you are more naturally this way, but you can also You know stretch your muscles in the other direction when the situation requires So for example, if you are a perceiver and then you're in a job where you know The organization is very structured very regimented your boss is very strict about deadlines and due dates Then you will be flexing your judging muscles a lot in that in that job and maybe over Decades you might actually start to prefer that and your personality might change But it takes a long long time, you know of effort just like learning any new skills something that doesn't come naturally to you It takes time of practice practice practice before it does become second nature essentially, right? And the other thing about the whole judging perceiving J&P thing is that it's Regarding how you interact with the world So these letters are about how you interact with the world and You might actually be different in how you interact with your inner life and with your thoughts So some people are actually perceivers internally But then externally maybe because of their environment or their company or their family or society or culture They might act like a J externally, but there are P internally and vice versa Some people might be really like structure and routine or whatever, but because of their environment whatever they act like a P outside So the test actually is about how you act externally in the world. What what do other people perceive of you? Do they perceive you more as a P or J? Now I don't know whether or not it's usually in a line between inner and outer I'm not I'm not I don't know enough about the Myers-Briggs know that but I just know that based on the research It seems like it's it's about how you interact out outside Vita says perceiver for sure Stacey thanks for joining Jay says can we have a combination of both? We all are on the spectrum We all are on the spectrum So as an example when I when I took the Myers-Briggs test back in college It was the first time I took it and then I took it several other times Since when I first took the Myers-Briggs test, I came out as an extrovert. Okay, so there's four letters, right? You know, there's extrovert introvert thinking or sensing Intuitive versus sensing Which doesn't actually it's not actually what it sounds like well kind of but and then there's thinking versus feeling and there's Judging versus proceeding right so I I used to be an E and Extrovert back in college But then over the years is that is I've grown as I've become more more of an adult now I test as an eye But back then when I when I tested I now I test as an introvert back then when I tested an extrovert I was also just on the cusp between Expert and introvert and now I guess I've turned the corner and now I'm more introverted, but I still I'm not way introverted I'm just kind of quote, you know kind of in between the E and the I So yes, we are all We're all on the spectrum and you might want to go go online and search You know Myers-Briggs test and there are lots of free tests out there Take several take several of them because each one probably has slightly different questions and and see what you Average out as and and take it again in you know a couple years and see if you if you moved in there and Okay, so well, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. I am for sure a J. I am a judge or now Yeah, I'm definitely a judge or It's interesting that I'm a judge or because I am very entrepreneurial. I'm very I guess Open-minded But whenever I'm tested there is no question. I'm not like on the on the edge between J and P I'm definitely definitely a J. I'm like, yeah, I'm definitely a J. That's one of my strongest characteristics So it's not a surprise that I'm always preaching routine. Have you noticed like I I This has been a really interesting sort of revisit of this whole topic for me because now I'm I'm wondering I Lot of you are peas. I Just in my own clientele as I've asked people I work with a lot of peas. I've worked with a lot of perceivers, you know Whereas I'm a very strong judge or so sometimes I honestly feel like an alien among my client base because I'm like Why am I so different? What is it about me? It's like I have to really stretch to understand my clients It is it's really it's a it's it's an effort for me It's it takes me energy to really try to understand my clients and how they feel and how they think and I'm definitely I feel like I'm still a baby in understanding my clients, honestly I have a long way to go going. Thankfully. I probably have another 40 to 80 You know depending on modern medicine, right? I have another 40 to 80 years of working life Love so I'll give myself the break. You know, I've been in I've been in business for 10 years successfully I have another 40 to 80 years now I'm really going to start understanding you all better because I feel like up to now I have not understood you very well, which is why my content you'll hopefully you'll notice my content getting better and better Over the years as I get to understand you better because I will tell you it is it is now I realized the past 10 years of content that I've created I didn't create content for the first five six years So really the past three or four years of content that I've created. I've been very Jay I've created from a Jay mindset from a judge or mindset I've assumed that of course you have to be yeah, of course you have to love routine Of course you have to love calendars and that you of course you should love deadlines You should repair your relationship with deadlines. I say that I always say you should repair your relationship with deadlines Because it's easy for me because it's natural for me. I was born and raised as a Jay So it comes natural for me to love deadlines. I love deadlines. I love due dates. I love calendars I love structure. I love following my calendar all day long. I love to do this and clearing them My email is is is cleared almost every day now. You know why it's because it's natural for me to do that And it's probably not natural for you. It's very hard for you now. I have to you know be more I'm grateful to revisit all this thing now. I'm even more compassionate It's hard for you to clear your inbox to follow a schedule to to follow my curriculum to Did happen to do this and declare that just to categorize things to? Have information be put into buckets. That's so easy for me That's just natural for me to use spreadsheets create structure You know create processes create a plan create backup plans upon backup plans I have backup backup backup. You're so many backup plans, but it's all planned out, you know and So anyway, I want to I want to thank you for your patience with me all of you who are peas for For like sometimes going God, why is it so easy for George to create a successful now? That so that's that's the thing that I want to inquire with you. I Want you to brainstorm with me now?  I am so J such a judge You're I have thought about business development in completely in a J kind of way And like I said the next 10 years next decade now, you know now The next decade I am now learning to think like a pea that's gonna have had to stretch in your direction I have you have to teach me how a pea thinks those of you who are I mean some of you are Jay You're like yay. I'm a J too, but let me see. Let me actually see right here in the chats if we have any J's Okay, so a lot of some of you are saying you use the disk system Yeah, so I don't know okay, so I haven't seen any any other Any comments here about P or J but those of you watching this later, please let me know so Basically, I know how to run a business as a J. I know that you need to be consistent with your content I know because with consistency and with routine comes skill building so that I know and and here's the other thing you should know the whole business world much of it is built around J's Corporate corporate the companies and organizations tend to I'll just say this again speaking from a J. Of course, I can see the entire world through a J Color J colored lens here. I think businesses thrive when they're J's when it's run by J's, right? So what about peas? What were how do peas contribute to the whole picture? Well peas? Like I said are more creative curious open-minded. They don't want to come to conclusions very quickly. So they tend to to be They tend to be able to Come up with new ideas innovation So that's the the strength that that peas bring into business entrepreneurship, etc But the problem with peas is they have a harder time getting things done, right peas are Have a hard time delivering on schedule. And so when it comes to a solopreneur business the way I know how to do it I Understand a solopreneur business meaning that you have to get good at content like you have to get good You have to develop your skill, right? Either in content or in networking. It's really one or the other if you don't want to do content. You don't have to do content This might come as a surprise to you Okay, but but I should have I should say this more often You don't have to create any content at all in your business just to have a thriving six-figure seven figure eight-figure business But if you're not going to create content Then you have to be extraordinarily good at networking. You have to be so good at at connecting with others and and really Forming relationships and partnerships that allow you to bring your business to a lot of people There's really two ways that I know of creating a successful business. There's either content or There's networking now some people do both. I think I'm a little bit good at both I started my business. I created six-figure business in my first five years You said George you said you didn't create content until three four years ago because I created a successful business six-figure business very well You know almost mid six-figure business as a solopreneur in my first five years Not doing any content. Yes. I started without any content first five years made a lot of money only doing networking I just created partnerships that brought my my product and services out to a big audiences And it's only in the last Four years that I am I trying to build a successful business with content and now I have because I as you if you follow my videos You know, I have not I have been a terrible networker in the last four to five years I really have not kept up with my colleagues. You know, I just My business has was started from I closed down my my product services four years ago and I started from scratch again And Essentially I changed from a networking type of business to a content type of business So now I have a thriving business yet again, but completely because of content So now I know how to build both types of businesses. So um, so perceivers You may you may it may may make more sense for you to create a networking type of business Maybe because you don't have the discipline All right, it's hard for you to have the discipline to create content And if you don't have the discipline to creating content, you're not going to get good at creating content You won't really become a good writer. You won't become a good speaker if you don't do it consistently Because the way that skill building works like for example Playing the piano if you play the piano whenever you feel like playing the piano You're not going to become a good piano player But if you play the piano every single day without fail You can become a great piano player or you can become a great swimmer or you can become a great, you know You know knitter, I mean whatever skill that you want or or a great content creator Any skill you want to develop needs the discipline the more frequently you do it the faster you grow that skill So that's why when I first started doing video for um back in 2015 I did it every single day Monday through Friday took took the weekends off That's how I got good at doing videos and speaking. That's how I got good at it so quickly now You can't get me off a video. That's how I got over my video blog and same thing with writing I hated writing before 2015 before 2016. I I I just was a terrible writer. I hated writing This did not like it at all But because I'm a j I was able to force myself discipline myself to write every single day Monday through Friday And then by 2016 I had overcome my writer's block and I was fine with writing now and now in 2018 I'm a pretty good writer. I'm a I'm a pretty decent writer writing is not a problem for me anymore I'm a different person Because of discipline because of consistency. I am a different person now You know in terms of my skills and my ability to expand my message and my business, etc so Please help me out if you are or even doesn't matter if you know your p or j or whatever you think you are Help me brainstorm. How can someone who is a perceiver? How can they Succeed in business and the solopreneur especially You know perceivers you could probably do fine in a company in a job where someone else gives you structure And that's maybe part of the part of the solution is you need to partner with a coach Or to join a business program to join a business group You know that you pay money to so you have some skin in the game that you feel like okay I don't want to waste this here You need to pay money to a coach or a group who is very much j or gives you that kind of structure that you believe in Like you have to believe in the structure. Otherwise as a p you're not going to do it Doesn't matter how many structures are given to you. You don't believe in it.   It's not natural to you It's hard for you to make plans, right? Struct step by step plans. It's easy for me I can come up with I can come up with five steps to do this at any day all day long I can come tell me what what routine or tell me what what goal you want And I can come up with a five step structure just like that like I could just you know It starts off You could say I'm bs-ing the five steps or you could say that somehow as a ji channel it very easily Or I can come up with it very quickly. That's the way I think so anyway, I hope this is helpful and I don't I want to end because all I'm just going to keep rambling on about about j and p but Thanks. Thanks for Helping me brainstorm. How can perceivers because as a ji I have a hard time thinking of as how can perceivers Succeed as a solopreneur business in the modern world What what does that look like? What does a successful? Perceiver led business look like perceiver built business look like I honestly don't know And I'm trying to figure that out. So so yet I can help my clients better. Please help me help my clients better Okay, um, so thanks to those of you who are joining this call Joining sorry joining this this facebook live video jace Slash captain, uh, alahendra. Welcome and thanks to you carissa. Hello, annie Arturo, ida. Hello And let's see who else is joining here Sharon and Let's see Sharon and stacey Um Vita Thank you all for joining. So let's let me just kind of address some of the comments going on here Uh, I this is yes, I need outside accountability. That's why I'm a master. I'm a master heart utilizing coaching. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. Um So Yeah Yeah, alahendra says yes, it takes the right kind of understanding and motivation to inspire me to be more like a j I'm doing it takes practice. Yeah, it takes if you are a p it takes you more energy That's just the bottom line So you're gonna need more sleep after trying to be a j that day, you know, you're gonna need more rest you're gonna need more self-care because you know It's me honestly The modern world in my opinion is a j world Again, that's again probably coming from the j perspective. Maybe as maybe it's a p-world I don't know but to me it looks a lot like a j world, right? Like you have to Well government, you know governments and positions on us are j you have to pay your taxes on time You have to fill out these forms. No, that's all j stuff If you work in in in business, you have to deliver to your clients on time. You have to you know, that's all j stuff.  Like this is the third dimension Has, you know, this life it has a deadline. It's called death So even life itself might be have formed as a j Experience for all of you who are perceivers and I think perceivers. I imagine perceivers are probably more naturally intuitive in terms of like spiritual like you are I think I'm gonna just riff here a little bit I imagine the spiritual world is probably like the the afterlife or the spirit world is probably more p Right because it's totally open. It's infinite, right? It's there is no boundaries. The boundaries are all just for Convention purposes. It's just maybe the boundaries to help you grow in a certain area but the reality of Life and of the universe and spirit is perceiver. It's p. It's it's infinite. It's open-ended No, there's no quick decisions are not needed because there's there's no time in in the afterlife in the in the spirit world and so You know, you are very brave as a p. You came in as a spirit, right? Into this very j world to learn how to stretch in the j direction a little bit more maybe again I'm just completely rambling and and riffing here, but It's fun for me to think about in a way So I hope this is helpful and I look forward to your comments and your suggestions on how can you if you are a p Or you can imagine your what a p is like. How can p's Be helped to succeed more in business to grow a business and to do it without To do it with with to do it With enough within enough time to not run out of money because again, we live in a j world There's a there's a there's a reality that you will run out of money if you don't build a business in time, right? So um, or you'll run out of life, right? So I appreciate your thoughts and I look forward to seeing your comments Below. Thank you so much. Have a great day. Whether you are a j or a p.


In this training video, we're going to examine linking tasks together. So when Microsoft links any two tasks together, it links looking for a predecessor task. So for example, if Microsoft is linking task one and task two together, it would look at task two, then look at the predecessor, what happens to be task one and link them together. So the task one finishes, then task two, the blue bar starts. So any task for to have a link has to have a predecessor task, which means a task comes before it. So we're just going to identify how this works with just linking two tasks together. So I'm going to double click the task two in this example. And I'm going to go into predecessors and I'm going to link to one, which is my predecessor task. There's design job packs. Now it's got four kind of links. Finish to start, start to start, finish to finish, start to finish, and you can include none as a fifth link. So in effect, even though it's only showing four links, none is also a way of removing a link. So we'll just quickly examine these links. So if I look at finish to start, so what that's going to mean between the two blue bars is the predecessor task, which is task one is going to finish, then the next task, which is successor task, will start. That's what finish start means. So I'm going to click OK and we can now see how the blue bars work. If I change the link, so I'm going to double click, go to the next one, start to start. They now join together and you can see the line joining them together is a start to start link. What you'll also notice is in the predecessor column, it's an SS. If you ever wanted to write in a link, you can in the predecessor column, but just be careful because if it goes wrong, it can make project difficult to manage, but it can be done when you get used to these links. I'm just going to keep on double clicking for now. Next one, finish to finish. So they both finished at the same time and this is in accordance with the length of either of the predecessor or successor. So in this example, the second task, which is the successor task will finish with the predecessor because the predecessor is longer. But if the successor was longer, that means the predecessor task will then join the successor task. So it all depends on the length of the task. So finish to finish and there we go. They both finished together according to the length of the task, which is the four-day duration. If you look at the next one, start to finish. Now, this even gives a message because we've got a project start date of the 30th to the 7th. Well, what this is going to do is going to bring the successor task before the predecessor task. So it says to you, are you sure you want to start before the project start date? We're going to say yes. So this kind of task is not used often, but it needs to be looked at for certain occasions. Like an example of this kind of task would be preliminary work. So something that has to done for preliminary work prior to the start of the project and you want to make a note of it within your project so you can see the preliminary work of it. I'm now going to double click again, but to show you again, there's a way of writing it in. That's one SF that needed to be written in and none to remove a link. So in a real world, you wouldn't link one task together. I've only had to demonstrate this to show you how the links works. But really, if you want to give yourself a safety net within your worlds and whatever projects you're constructing, the best way of doing it is to link all the projects together so you have some kind of safety net. Now, the way I'm going to do that is highlight all the tasks, which is the top left of the table. So all the tasks are now highlighted, task tab and there's a little chain that's called link the selected tasks. Now, this is going to link them all together and it's going to give me a summary duration of the entire project as it stands. So link the selected tasks and I've now got a 62-day project showing all the durations added together and what the blue means, the blue means the effect of all the links we've just done together. So it shows you what the effect is of pressing link the selected task. But this completes the training video on linking tasks together, looking at the different kinds of tasks, knowing they can be typed in, knowing they can be linked individually by double-clicking a task and knowing the tasks can be linked all together by globally linking them using the select all tasks method and choosing the linked selected tasks.

Hey friends, today we are hanging out in Walt Disney's hometown of Marceline, Missouri Citizen watch and the Walt Disney hometown museum Invited me out to celebrate a moment in time in honor of a hundred years of Disney and Marceline They're gonna have an awesome street fair a clock dedication ceremony And then we're gonna have dinner on the Walt Disney family farm.

We're here. Look at this It's so amazing Walt loved Marceline and he uses it as an inspiration for a lot of the things that he has created over time Main Street USA The Lady and the Tramp. I mean, this is literally one of his favorite places and over on the family farm There is a tree there and it's called the dreaming tree and Walt likes to Credit that as the birthplace of his creativity like isn't that amazing and we're gonna be having dinner on that farm Later on tonight. We are gonna be having dinner on the Disney family farm Just look at this quote from Walt right here more things of importance happen to me and Marceline Than have happened since or likely to in the future. So that's what I mean by he really did love Marceline It is really amazing How much you can see the resemblance to Main Street USA here like honestly you can see like certain buildings Like for instance over here, there is a Coca-Cola mural where Walt actually drew his inspiration for the refreshment corner on Main Street USA and Disneyland and then over here was a confectionary this was a confectionary now it is a Corner cafe ma vicks. They have little signs on the buildings that actually like tell you What like Walt was like picturing like what was there at that time and look you can even see it right here? confectionary Located at this site in the Allen Hotel Block built in 1905 was a favorite stop for Marceline ends This is such a small town with only a population of 2,500 people and it's about an hour and 45 minutes away from Kansas City So we flew in the Kansas City and they rented a car and drove down here and it is just so beautiful I love everything about this place On the backside of the first national bank.

I ordered way too much food And now it's time to go out and explore around the city and make our way to all of the festivities I can't wait to do some shopping because as we're sitting here I'm watching like all the people set up their boots and tables and it looks like there's some really cool items that I might be purchasing today I think we're gonna make our way over to the walt disney post office Walt disney has its own post office and they're doing a special cancellation like stamp And we're gonna go wander over there first because they're not completely set up for this I don't think this starts till 12, but it looks like there's a lot of people in there So maybe we'll cut through but I want to come back when it's fully open citizen watch is going to be donating a replica of their famous timepiece that's on main street usa in the magic kingdom and They're throwing like a big block party. They're having a major celebration D 23 is here. They sold tickets so you can actually come to this event and also the also the walt disney Hometown museum was selling tickets to the event So it's really cool that a lot of people traveled from all around the world to come to marcelline We made our way up to the walt disney hometown museum and look at how awesome this place is Right inside the courtyard. This is where they are going to be dedicating the new clock tower From citizen. This is an exact replica from the parks. Look at this. I think this was an old train station I think that's why you might hear trains because they actually drive by or they come by right here And this is so awesome. Wow. Look at that It looks just like the one In the parks like that is so awesome dedicated to the walt disney hometown museum June 3rd 2023 that is today the official timepiece of the walt disney world resort citizen This is actually the start of a kind of long road trip for me I know I have been basically all over the world the past couple months And it's it's so crazy for me to say that but i've been getting these Amazing opportunities to come and showcase some awesome places that I personally want to discover for myself And I want to show it and share it with you guys So this is just the start and uh, I'm going to be going to a couple of other really awesome stops and maybe a trip back home We're going to be coming up here later on for the clock dedication and I hear We're going to be having some special guests join us But for the moment, I kind of want to just go into the Walt Disney hometown museum and just show you some of the cool things they have inside here I could walk through this museum and point out every single thing Because there are so many amazing things to show you guys But I probably wouldn't have time for that So I highly suggest you guys coming and checking it out And now I just want to show you a couple of the ones that they they were just really cool You know, they were this is the stuff. I'm like I get excited Look at how amazing this place is There is so many pieces of disney history in here. It's incredible. In fact, uh, walt's sister She actually chose marcelline for her collection. Isn't that cool in early 1999 Ruth disney selected marcelline to showcase her collection of family memorabilia. So this is straight from the disney family This is such an awesome piece right here because it always reminds you that you have to take care of family And this tv right here is a piece of disney history because when walt was doing the opening ceremony for disneyland the dedication He invited his sister ruth down to the dedication But she didn't like big crowds and she didn't have a tv So instead walt sent her money to go out and buy this tv So that she can sit down and watch the dedication of disneyland in 1955 And this is the exact rug and everything like this is the same setup they had In the family house to watch the dedication and they preserved it right here You can see some walt disney autographed lithographs here of mickey maus and tinker bell And then look at this, uh new fantasy lamp banner right here. That is awesome I love all of this stuff. This is all like just disney treasures Everything look at the davie crocket outfit right here Wow, and then as you walk around you'll find a lot more and i'll point out things I mean it's massive in here. Obviously, you know walt loved his trains And they actually uh have a whole entire Like section of the carol wood pacific like the actual track That's that's priceless Normally, I would say some of these items belong in a museum, but they're actually in a museum They're in the walt disney home town museum Honestly, I feel like this right here is probably the coolest Pieces or the coolest thing that they have in this whole museum And that's because these are uh two mickey uh maus dolls that walt and rory Actually gave to their parents on their fiftieth wedding anniversary So walt and rory this was their present to their parents Isn't that that's like so that's so so awesome. Look at them. They got I mean that's priceless I love looking at all of these uh pieces of canvas art where it shows walt visiting Marceline look at this like walt and rory walking down the streets there walt and rory at the trains and there's kids coming up to them This is a cool shot right here Very very awesome. They're even reading like the marceline paper And then you have him in a garage right here and this is an awesome one right here This is walt and rory at the dreaming tree on their family farm Like I mentioned walt was a huge fan of marceline and there were talks of a disney theme park to happen in marceline and here are some of the plans that they were working on And some of this stuff is so amazing just the history behind it Just like uh in florida walt started up buying land, but he used A different name and it was retla which is walter spelled the backwards and uh, he was gonna do kind of like a Attraction of the you know his boyhood hometown And it was really cool because this right here is a sketch that walt actually made himself and that you can see this is all walt's Like sketches like his handwriting property not owned motel inside pool fishing lake All of this cool stuff as you can see right here The uh origin sketches of the marceline project were penned by the hand of walt disney himself And they remained on his burbank studio desk until his death in 1966 A short five months before the project ground breaking for the park that would transform his beloved hometown Isn't that like wow? Can you even imagine look at this would have been like? Main street usa the shops and everything the pool he had it all Sadly the theme park in marceline never happened But it does have a disney attraction here And it's the only place where an actual disney attraction continued on being an attraction outside of disney parks and it is so cool And i give to you the marceline utopia. Look at this. This was an attraction in disney land And they closed it to make way for it's a small world and disney donated it to marceline And isn't that so cool in 1966? Walt donated to marceline the children's ride midget utopia the only disney land ride ever moved elsewhere That's awesome. And now because we're here for this special event. They actually have it outside running I don't know if we can ride it, but we're going to be able to see it in action I think we might be too big. Yeah, you might be too big. I know I'm not putting in that That is so cool though The Walt disney hometown museum is privately funded. So if you ever want to Consider donating i'm going to put a link in the description They also like I said, they sell tickets to private events like this and they have merchandise and stuff like that So i'll put a link in the description This is really something that I feel like needs to be preserved And i'm so happy that there are individuals that are out there that stepped in and said we're going to keep this alive So if you don't want to donate i'll put the link in the description And look at that e p rippley park and the midget utopia Wow This is beautiful though This is right along main street usa actually like main street usa is right on the other side of the park there And this is where the street fair is happening. So we'll go over there But I saw this and I had to come over immediately Oh, wow The midget utopia actually ran in this very park from 1966 to 1977 And then when marceline decided to retire Walt and rory's gift they kept a like little walking path so that you can always Go on the attraction and for this special event they brought in some kind of replicas that You can actually drive like these aren't the opening day cars, but they're really close to it That's so awesome. Oh look. Oh, i'm standing on the track actually, but i'm so used because this is just a walking track Look at how cool the train is coming by right now What Walt would have loved this Oh, that's a long train too. I said walt would have loved this Wow Looks like there's a lot of incredible food stands over here, but we already had breakfast this morning There's also a barbecue stand over there And then we had dinner at the Walt Disney family farm later on so we don't want to get too much But I definitely want to check out some things maybe a nice cold refreshing Lemonade or mint julep how cool would that be? Now it's time to go explore around the street fair and it's really cool because you get to meet the voice of Mickey Mouse Sean has been picking up this sign So much Sean, you're doing in the work for a citizen right here. Oh, yeah in bret But yeah, you get to meet bret the voice of mickey mouse here today inside the park Very cool Oh and a train's coming again a lot of trains a lot of trains Oh, look at that lemonade shake it up. Oh, holy moly. I forgot that they had the animatronics exhibit here too.  We've got kettle corn back there.  Wait till you see the shake-up machine I've been waiting to see the shake machine. Look at that. Wow Oh It's so fun We got ourselves our lemonades. Look at the size of these though. That's good stuff. Cheers. Cheers cheers to marceline This is a good lemonade. Let me tell you I knew I saw it. Look at that. Amazing. Wow. It's so refreshing. It's so good It's perfect Now I think since we have a little bit of time before we have To go to one of the presentations. I kind of just want to stroll along main street They got a radio station over there Just go up and down because I think there are stands like they have like outside vendors. Yeah, they do. Yeah They have outside vendors. So let's just go walk up and down main street a little bit Of course, they do have the street closed off at some points But I have to just be able to walk right down the middle of main street. USA. Look at this Marceline city hall on the left there Just like we're at disneyland or this is our main street. Yep. There's the maytag Home appliance center right there Just like in the parks Surprisingly, it is kind of hot and humid here in Missouri. I thought it was going to be a little bit colder than Florida But I feel like it's the same temperature Right here is the uptown theater and this is actually really cool because this opened in 1930 And in 1956 waltin rory disney held the midwest premiere of their feature film the great local motive chase In this theater and then they also came back and in 1998 the walt disney Company held another premiere here for the spirit of mickey and that was such a cool Like premiere they actually have still some of the original signs and so many people came to marceline actually 18,000 people came to marceline to see the premiere of the spirit of mickey And we're gonna be able we're gonna be able to actually go inside and tour it even though it's it's definitely seen better days And here we go look at this place you can see goofy on the walls Wow This is nifty.  Look at this This is really cool You were standing at a 1930 Bill our theater and this was created Combining two buildings into the great locomotive chase Premiered the midwest premiere of it And then in 1998 the disney company came back They said hey, we're gonna do the spirit of mickey here as well. So that's our disney connection We are looking forward hopefully It might be a little ambitious, but we're looking for A reopening we're keeping it all the same. You will see a picture of him in the museum He's pointing up toward the right As the historian I can make up every once in a while can make up a story and claim something that's not true And my untruth here is he's pointing at that clock up there They can barely see and saying I want it, but the owner said no Oh So waltz stood on that stage right up there. Yeah, that's incredible. Yeah, when you look at the uh Yeah, right there's the stage. So walt was standing on that stage right there And that was the stage that we were just looking at That's kind of cool Was this him coming out of the theater too? I believe that that's right before he was right up front in here. Yeah, they had a big uh, welcome home to royce sign. Yeah That's awesome Going into the uptown theater was pretty iconic. I loved it in there It's smelt old in there just like it looks on the outside is exactly how it smells And now it's time to go to the first presentation of the evening And this is going to be about d-23 and then also the city of marcelline And this is where some of the special guests will be coming. Hopefully fingers crossed. That's what we heard We'll invite a few friend familiar friends up to help us out with our next token of gratitude. So Uh, please join me as in recognition of this anniversary as a gift to the city of marcelline Uh, we would like to invite mickey mouse and mini mouse 2023 d-23 event in honor of 100 years of the wall disney company Now therefore the city of marcelline, missouri I selly buck by virtue of the authority vested in me as mayor of the city of marcelline, missouri Do hereby declare that on this date June 3 2023 honorary citizenship is bestowed to all d-23 members worldwide And further proclaimed today to be d-23 day Oh, look at that.  That's not really close to marcelline But has a lot to do with disney history and that is to the laffogram studios where Walt had his first studio. This is about about an hour away and the physical location is still there And uh, it's been it's it's seen better days And here it is laffogram studios or what's left of it. It definitely Has seen better days, but you can see a little bit of like It looks like drawings like there's a goofy up in that window right there And then the main window here you can actually see a picture of young waltz. That's what it looks like This is really really cool so much history in this building right here Wow, I don't know what they're doing to it. I'm hoping, you know, somebody's trying to preserve this Like I like they should somebody should be trying to preserve this and keep it Kind of in original state. I don't know what's happening with it though Look at this and a little sign here Walt Disney in kansas city Wow, this must have been maybe the entrance This is so cool Alongside the building here You can see more. Oh, yeah, there's another picture of waltz right there I'm just looking at everything and people keep on stopping to take photos Like it's a big deal like look look at that guy over there How awesome was it that we got to go to the laffogram studios? It's really amazing being able to do all this incredible stuff and seeing this disney history I'm honestly speechless and it's really hard for me to Kind of focus on the fact that i'm making a video this time because I am so zoned in on everything But now we're heading back to marceline and then we're going to go and see the clock dedication And then dinner at the waltz disney family farm Five four three two one Yeah Well, there it is the clock has beneficially dedicated. I love this. This is really cool and it looks so beautiful Right outside here Right in the garden it is so nice Like wow And it's so cool because I would normally see this on the left and then see a castle right down the middle You know what I mean? So like I like it's kind of lined up perfect with marceline right here And I didn't really think of that like wow that is really amazing They definitely did that on purpose because or else they'd probably make it center, but this is wow. That's so awesome Yeah The clock dedication was awesome the board of directors here at the waltz disney hometown museum was all up on stage representatives from citizen and now it's time for us to make our way over to the waltz disney family farm It's time for dinner and I can't wait to see it It's going to be such beautiful lighting because it's just about sun setting at the the sun's just about to set and We're going to enjoy some good food And here it is the disney family farm And this is the house that they lived in now the disney family doesn't own it anymore k lives there now But that is such an awesome story that you can learn Over at the waltz disney hometown museum But the event itself is going to take place like on the farm itself So it's going to be over here where all these tents are but we're going to be Basically walking waltz footsteps We're going to be going and tracing and walking through parts of his favorite place Like this is where he loved just running around and enjoying the nature So it's going to be really amazing that we're here This is so amazing. We're just walking around the disney family farm right now Like these this is where waltz would be walking around This is it's beautiful here too. This is so beautiful Look at this right down there is uh the waltz disney barn And then the dreaming tree should be back here and it's so cool because the dreaming tree Was so important to waltz when he Eventually got to purchase this land back because that's what had to happen is he bought back his family farm and he wanted to kind of preserve it and Once he did he walked in and went straight back and he went to see if that dreaming tree was still there And when he got back there, he said oh, thank god.  That just shows you how much it meant to him Right over here is going to be the dreaming tree I am so excited. Look how beautiful this is. This is just us walking around This is I love it And this is open to the public you can just come here and actually just walk down and stay on the pathway But uh, yeah right here. This is where the dreaming tree was And uh, it's sad that it's gone now It was here and uh, it's here for over 120 years It got struck by lightning and then eventually fell down and You know this is like I said the thing that waltz wanted most when it came to this farm You can see them actually at the dreaming tree right here Isn't that so amazing and now since that one's gone. They planted a new one and look at this one It's growing big It is so beautiful being here at the family farm and They're going to be starting up the festivities soon. So lots of people will be joining up and uh, yeah I can't wait to just kind of hang out here and mingle Right over here is waltz barn, which is so beautiful. Look at this and they have little Fact sheets just over here. You can read up on some of the history But this is so beautiful They preserved this so well The barn that was on this property when waltz was a little boy He was very very fond of it and he actually built one Similar to this in the backyard of his home on carolwood avenue in the homeby hills, which is a summer of los angeles And he loved this barn when he was a little boy. He they moved here in 1906 when he was only Just just barely five six years old five years old four years old at the time that they moved And um, he spent a lot of time running around this farm Of course, his brothers had to work the farm with his dad, but waltz was lucky He was too little and so this was his playground Come to go inside and people have been signing the walls in here with messages to waltz and drawings of All the mickey mouse and all kinds of things. So please go inside and take a look at it And please sign one of these uh boards here. We have one here that's uh from the for the d23 group All right, the moment has come I'm going to sign my name To one of the pieces of wood here and it's gonna end up going inside the barn We're gonna go inside now And uh, take a look at it.  There is No like blank space left really Wow and then look at that view It's a little hot in here though a little steamy Let me know in the comments if any of you guys have ever uh signed your name in here Look at some of the mickeys in here. Look at this one. Wow. That's so cool I like this a lot That is so cool to just be exploring around here now It's time to head back up near the front area and uh get some dinner dinner on the farm Wow Look at that. Mickey and Minnie are out on the farm. I see them all the way up there. This is cool Well, this is really awesome, but Mickey and Minnie are driving through the Walt Disney farm right now Oh Yeah It looks like Mickey and Minnie just stepped out and Donald and Goofy are now doing photos on the farm Photos on the farm Look at this.

Whoa, this is going to be this sounds good Scotch mist that was walt's signature cocktail At disneyland I discovered a memo of everything that was to be stocked in his apartment above the firehouse And it was nuts and crackers and you know the different booze, but it was definitely black and white scotch That was his preferred brand. That is what he had at disneyland Everyone raise your glass So as I said before we are in this very special place This is this very special drink that walt really enjoyed And so here is to walt disney. Here is to another hundred years of the disney company and here is to all of you And so the boys In ruth were not allowed to have butter because they had to save it all for the customers So jess butter your bread will turn it upside down and dad will never know So you all have to take your butter out. Okay But before we do that Kay, and I thought you might like to hear walt disney himself Tell you about what happened with his mom's butter. So john, can we please play the cue and listen to walt? Well, things got pretty tough from before and it was pretty hard to be walt My mother made very good butter. My mother was uh The grocery store she used to take it to to trade for things But put my mother's butter in a second place because it was good and everything you know a lot of these farmers I mean you got to be careful to be flies or anything my mother And she made good butter So we put a little butter in the table And the place was just ahead of Mr. Tester, we even cut But mother just infected her bread and dad was looking she buttered and turned it over and passed it over to us So he said there's no butter on the bread. We just loaded underneath you Wow Now is take your butter and the bread out. There's a little knife in there Everyone wants you to butter them It is definitely getting hot out on the farm and being under here, but they did supply us with some fans So it's gonna be fanning away here. Look at oh now this actually feels even better out on the farm Drinking some scotch got the fan, you know, I like that Look at this glass bottles or coax cheers all the way through There it is Just a couple of fellas a couple of fellas enjoying some Coca-Cola on the farm Yep I definitely feel like I probably got a little sunburn today Right, I feel it but hope's always making me feel a little better I am so excited for the food to come out We've been snacking on the salads and the breads and now they're playing more music But it was cool to actually hear Basically how Walt likes to eat and this is accurate. I mean, I would believe it. I mean, this is coming from the Walt disney archive So it's kind of really interesting I had to step outside for a second just so I can really grasp the fact that I am Sitting on the Walt disney farm Watching the sunset having dinner listening to so much amazing entertainment music Disney historians and this is real life. This is real life It is such a beautiful sunset right now I noticed a lot of people picking up their meals and bringing them outside and that is exactly what I did Look at this. This is our dinner We are going to eat like Walt on the farm right now and watch this sunset happen This is this is so amazing I am now officially adding this to one of the coolest things I've ever done. This is this is pretty remarkable right now I honestly am feeling like overwhelmed. It's it's really really special and we got the chicken the sunset's amazing Look at this I'm going to try the mashed potatoes Give them a go Wow I'm not even joking when I say this is just one of the coolest experiences I have ever got to do Now we got to try the chicken I can also confidently say this is one of the best meals I've ever had I'm not I'm not just taking into like saying this is the best cooked like food for me I'm talking about the overall experience Definitely one of the best meals I've ever had The fact that I am sitting here Just watching this beautiful sunset and this is exactly where Walt Disney used to run around and play He used to go swimming. This is incredible like Just so much, you know inspiration has come from this land and I really hope it continues inspiring people for years to come Good evening friends I'd give anything to be there with you But this seems to be one of those times I'm tied down here at the studio night and day Well, it came about when my daughters were very young and my Saturday was always a daddy's day with the two daughters So we'd start out and try to go someplace with you know different things and I Take them to the merry ground and I took them different places and As I'd sit there while they uh, they rode the merry ground did all these things Sit on a bench you know eating peanuts I felt that there should be something built some kind of a My newsman enterprise built where that the parents and the children Could have fun together that sunset was amazing and my meal was so good The fried chicken was phenomenal the mashed potatoes the gravy that was so I mean everything it was perfect And now it's time to watch uh some fireworks A little good night kiss right here at the Walt Disney family farm And with that We are done here today.

I enjoyed making it and uh, we'll see you next time. Bye


Welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and I'm reviewing the options newsletter trades from January year-to-date 2019 through June. So pretty much six months for six months of the year. Nice start to the year here. 80% win ratio here year-to-date. This is with an advanced trader risk. Year-to-date results are huge. 764,800. So been a really good year. This is just the options trades, not even the day trades as well. It is really about becoming a success. If that's your goal then you have to get serious about it. What is that entail? It means taking the time, taking the energy, getting motivated, and also thinking about what your motivation is. I mean money should be your motivation obviously but what's the purpose? Like why do you want the money?  I do think that having goals helps us keep us motivated as people. So that's always been very important for me and I have my own goals even here right now 2019 which is one of the reasons I've been so so focused this year and this year has really been a huge year so far. We're only six months into the year. So looking forward to the rest of 2019 and if you'd like to join my group or join this letter I will talk about how to do that more here at the end. So there's been a lot of trade calls here for this options letter. Busy busy year, 145 year-to-date trade calls that we're going to go over all of these ones here. So that are done I should say. One break even, 29 losers and 115 winners. Huge huge huge year and some of those winners have been massive trades. Win ratio 80% so that means you figure out of every 10 trades two will lose and eight will win and again some of the winners this year that I've called have been Jai Mungus and I've done a couple separate videos and some of those winners I'm going to be doing some as well today. You never know when you're going to get the big one they just kind of just come and that's how trading is but you have to know how to find them and spot them and obviously you have to be a member of this letter in order to get those trades. So what's your number one goal? Again I was talking about this earlier. You know do you want to do this for a career? Money is the goal but there has to be a purpose behind that. It's like an extra thing. You know you want the money for something. You don't put the money just sit and look at it all day long. You want to buy something? Your job security again it has to be have more more purpose behind it. I get this question a lot what if you're a beginner? What if you never traded before in your life? What if you don't know what to do? I've talked beginners. You can learn my whole system and my whole method in the Golden Gap course. You absolutely can. So don't be shy. If you're new you still can learn how to do it from me. Nuts to bolts and a lot of people that have started out with beginners with no experience have done very well because they don't have any bad habits. I get this question too a lot. Do you need margin to do options? No. Options are just you pay the cost of the trade. All right that's it. And again have your goals and manage your expectations versus your goals when you start out. You can take a small account. The starter account usually is about $2,000 for an options account and then you can grow it and then you can risk more as you go over time. It's really though about my system. That's how I've made these calls which is a high wind ratio system that involves me getting up in the morning looking for the right stock to trade each day. And again I'm just calling straight calls and puts. If you're not familiar with options I'm not doing the fancy dancing ones. So don't worry about it. All right. But it's really really important no matter what you do. Swing trains, options, day trains. It is more important to use a high wind ratio system than anything else. Why? Because emotionally helps keep you on track. Financially it helps keep you on track. And that is where you know the consistency just counts. And that's why when you have a losing trade then you don't fret about it because you know the next one is going to be a winner. And that's how you go. Like I said, you budget yourself accordingly. And that's why you have to look at the size of your account and determine your risk per train. This was a while ago now. Gosh, this was April. Two months ago longer that this big Disney trade was on. So this was a great call. So called this train as the Disney calls and it jumped right up in the time and continued. Pretty much everybody got out this day because the stock jumped up overnight like 15 points. It was a great call. And again, we'll have another one like this I'm sure this year. BYMD was another great call. I've done a video on that. This on my YouTube you can check out. And this Disney was one of the first really big ones we had this year. So two traders that I know of may 40 grand on that Disney call. A lot of people made 10,000 20,000. I mean, it was just a huge, huge, huge trade for everybody. So I had called I'm going to go back to the chart the 120s expiring 426 and I called them on the ninth. Here's what the stock did. And this was a news gap. It was not an earnings gap. So I called it here. And then it took two, three, four days. No, it was the third day up here. And again, so you see her, I called the 120 calls, you see where the stock ended up opening, you see where it went. And this was even on the 12th continued. But again, I think everybody got out. You have a move like that. Boom. So this went more than 10 points for the strike. Huge trade. We'll have more like that. BYMD was a couple ones like this and they happen. They absolutely absolutely happen. So let's go back to the start of the year. You're started out. Well, January Lulu was a winner. Netflix was a winner. QQQs was a winner. A lot of trades this year in the market.   IBM was a winner. QQQs was a winner. Starbucks won. Spy big winner. Spy was another winner. Another spy winner. Ntap lost that just didn't work. Cisco was a winner. Walmart was a winner. HD was a winner. Spy was a winner. QQQs was a winner.  Cost was a winner. It was a nice gap too. QQQs was a winner. Spy winner. A lot of market trades. A lot of trades in Google too. Google was a winner. Alta, big, big winner. That was an earnings. Netflix was a winner. Stitch Fix was earnings too. Did not work. Spy was a winner.  Apple. Bunch of trades in Apple this year too. Apple was a winner earlier in the year. Spy was a winner. Lulu was the break even. Spy nice winner. QQQs nice winner. Google big winner. The stocks like Google can really move. Spy was a winner. Amazon small winner. QQQs winner.  BA winner. That was the big Disney there in April. Spy was a winner. QQQs winner. Google winner. Disney winner. There was a bunch of Disney trades. QQQs was a winner. Apple winner. Twitter winner. Spy winner. Another Disney. Disney really was fantastic. Amazon winner. Apple winner. QQQs winner. Big spy winner.  QQQs winner. Spy winner. BA was a winner. Apple was a winner. Microsoft winner. Diamonds winner. Spy winner.  Lyft was a winner. Spy was a winner. QQQs winner. Apple winner. BA winner. Diamonds winner. Baidu winner. Diamonds winner. Spy winner. Amazon Winner, Apple Winner, Low Winner, QQQ's Winner, Netflix Loser, QQQ's Winner, Spy Winner, Baidu, Really Nice Winner, Google was a Loser, Apple Winner, Diamonds Loser, Apple was a Winner, Spy was a Winner, Diamonds Winner, QQQ's Winner, Diamonds Winner, Spy Winner, BA Winner, QQQ's Winner, Google Nice Winner, that stock just really is really nice to play options and it's very expensive to day trade. So actually you could day trade the options and something like Google because the moves happen so big so quickly.  So, 115 winners, 29 Losers, one break even, 145 trades so far year to date that are completed. And again, if you join the letter, you'll get the next trade this coming week. So I wouldn't wait. If it's something you're interested in, a lot of people have transitioned from doing this letter, who do not have time to actively day trade and then done the class and actively traded later. And if you just simply don't have time to actively day trade, this letter is a great letter. Win ratio 2019 year to date, again, end of June, 80%. So what's the benefits? Benefits of trading options versus equity trades, no margin requirements, no day trading margin requirements, which you normally need 25,000 at a retail broker. You do not for an options account. The only cost is the price you pay for the trade and you can make active money trading just like equity trades. And you can make a good return on investment. A lot of big winners in this year's calls. Again, you just don't know.  Sometimes the momentum is what I call normal 50% to 100% return investment. That's normal. You got to give the trade chance to work. But some of them have just been just going like gangbusters, which, you know, I showed you in that Disney chart will just, it usually will what it will do is I'll call the trade and then it will gap into the movement. So like if I call a put, it will gap down and during one of the days of the trade is on and that's the momentum and then you're up a lot and you get up in the morning. And that is fantastic. I mean, those are the best, best days. You can, if you've never experienced that, like with the Disney, like when everybody get up in the morning, like before the market even opened, everyone saw the gap and knew they were going to be up huge. I mean, that type of exhilaration excitement for the money that you're going to make in the day is there's, I mean, I can't describe it, but it's very, very exciting. And that's, that happens on this letter because I have huge calls. So some training plan ideas for people, they always ask me what to do. Listen, hold the trades if you want are killing at 50% down if you want, but I tell people this trade could go on to work if it's down 50%. That happens a lot. So I, my advice to people is to risk the amount that they can afford and let the trades play out. All right, it's really going to be your decision on that and how much you want to risk and it should be based on the size of your account, the cash size of your account. So what works for you and what doesn't work for you? Well, you need to think about why are you doing this? What time do you have involved? You do not have to babysit these trades. The trades get emailed to you at any time during the day at all. It could be in the morning pre-market, in which case you take them into the open. They could be during the live trading day, in which case you take them when you get the trade. You have to watch it. You'll have to sit and babysit it, but you do have to be aware of your positions and where the stock price is. So you could be in a meeting, check on your phone, see what the price is.

Good day fellow investors! I often mention how I'm very bullish on copper. There is a supply gap forming so copper prices should go up and that should benefit copper miners. So it would be fitting that I also offer you copper investment ideas, copper miners that I think are low-risk, high-potential reward investments. And today I'll discuss hardware minerals. The other copper investment that I like very much and I'm invested in is Neveson Resources. So you can check the video above in the link. Let's start with a quick overview of the copper environment and then we'll switch to hardware minerals. This is a very, very important chart because it shows the demand for metals in relation to the cycle in economic development. China is not entering the mid-cycle and there will be more demand for copper, lead, nickel, aluminum and so on. India is still in the early cycle so more iron or coal but it's switching due to technological developments also to copper building infrastructure so we can see also future high demand coming from India that will boost global demand for copper. If the United States start to repair their infrastructure as some have promised we will see again increased demand for copper. Another positive for copper is the impact of electric vehicles. For example one electric vehicle consumes three to four times more copper than a normal car. On top of it you have to make your charging point at home, the superchargers, all those things consume and demand more copper. So if we switch to an electric economy copper will explode and also nickel that we have mentioned in these other videos. That was the long term. In the short term copper is entering into supply deficit and you can see here from the international copper study group how copper has been in a deficit in 2016 will be in 2017 and will also be in 2018. This is because the average industry or grade is declining so all the low hanging fruit in copper has been mined and now companies have to dig deeper higher costs in order to produce more copper and that simply limits the available supply at lower copper prices. What is expected is that at this moment with current prices simply a supply gap will form soon and a big one because the possible projects are simply not feasible at these copper prices below three dollars. I personally expect a balanced copper price above 3.5 in the next 10 years and perhaps even going to four. The World Bank copper price forecasts they are very conservative in their forecasts no electrical vehicles impact in their forecast but however the copper price is really expected to significantly grow over the next decade. Apart from copper hot bay minerals is also a zinc producer so you can check my zinc video as 21% of revenue hot base revenue comes from zinc. Let's start with hot bay minerals straight at both of the New York stock exchange and of the Toronto stock exchange so you can buy it on both stock exchange. It has a long life low cost asset base now long life just two projects are long life. The recently commissioned constancia mine Peru is 19 years expected life lower mine has 10 years and two mines are about to be closed down soon. Nevertheless we'll calculate each present value for each mine and the biggest part of hot bay is the Rosemont project that has also 19 years of life expected but it's not yet developed they need still one permit for water regulation so we'll see about that. Let's start immediately with the constancia mine in Peru it's hot bay's flagship mine 19 years of life and in addition they have done some additional mining at the Pampa Cancha Deposit close by so they have increased production for the next five years. Here you can see the expected production copper production more than 100 000 tons per year molybdenum gold silver so a very diversified mine and the most important thing is the five year averages cash cost and sustaining oiling costs are below one dollar per pound for cash costs and one dollar 27 for all sustaining mining costs later that will be higher. What I have done I have analyzed future cash flows for each of the hot bay mines and projects deducted the costs and calculated the present values of those operations at the end I'll compare the present values with the depth and get to a fair value of hot bay. I think that's the only way to analyze a miner is to really analyze it segment per segment present values total of present values and then you get to an end result so that's what I'll do here in this video. Let's start immediately constancia copper production as I said 100 tons molybdenum gold silver ounces gold and the silver is sold already with a streaming deal with silver written so I will also arrange for that 50% of the gold is sold at 400 dollars per ounce and 100% of the silver is sold at 5.99 dollars per ounce to silver written nevertheless also standing cash cost 1.27 per pound so hot base profit from constancia should be 1.63 dollars per pound in the next three years that's around 380 million per year pre-tax 250 million after tax with their tax rate so the current number of shares outstanding is 236 million so you can expect cash flows over 1.06 from constancia in the next five years from then onwards expected production will decline and I expect cash flows of around 0.5 dollars per share for the remaining 14 years the present value at a 10% discount rate I know that this country is high but that's what I like to use for miners and that's high for the risk already producing commissioned mine as constancia is comes for me to 7.12 dollars per share but that's for constancia let's go to the lower mine current sink prices I made this calculation at sink prices of 1.12 didn't increase it for practical reason so giving again a margin of safety at sink prices are much higher so I have summed up all this cash flows expected here discounted at the 10% discount rate and the value came at 461 million or 1.95 per share 777 mine and reed expected to be closed in the next few years nevertheless their cash cost is negative there is some potential to exploration in the area but let's keep our analysis conservative and according to the technical report for the two mines we can expect the present value for the two mines to be 0.3 per share and 0.1 per share so we add 0.4 dollars per share for the present value of those mines at a 10% discount rate in total constancia 7.12 lower two dollars with higher sink prices plus 0.4 we are at 9.6 as this has been done with lower commodity prices we can easily add a present value of 10 for those projects now let's go to the future of hotbase the rosemont project expected to produce 10% of us copper supply with the life mine of 19 years so that's an excellent project production costs are expected to be very low at 1.29 per pound and calculating from the technical report present value at a 10% discount rate with copper prices at three dollars per pound which i expect them to be in the next 20 years is 500 million or two dollars per share however this project is very very sensible to copper prices and if copper prices reach 3.5 on average in the next 20 years the present value is already 1 billion if they reach four dollars per share the present value is already immediately 1.5 billion or six dollars per share so when you take into account that rosemont is really the leverage on copper prices and that's what makes hotbay interesting 10 dollars we had there plus let's say it will be four dollars per share the value of such a project that's already at 14 dollars the only issue with the rosemont project is they received the us forest service permit but they need still need a section 404 water permit from the us army corps of engineers when will they receive it i don't know but a negative water permit were would delay development of the mine but probably only delay or increase some cost because they have to arrange how to do it so we'll see about that that's definitely a risk now we have calculated the net present values of all the projects from the cash flows so already deducted the costs the investments and now we still have to deduct the current debt and then we'll get to the fair value of hotbay hotbay has a very very large debt load 1.3 billion but we can see the maturities are pretty far from now six years for the 400 million note and eight years from the 600 million note so expecting copper prices to increase there will be no problem for hotbay to service that especially as they have high cash flows now they're operating cash flow is around 400 million dollars or two dollars per share currently so they can easily service the debt payments just a quick look at my model these are the cash flows per year in order to pay out all the debts in 2023 and 2025 and you can see how from 2019 hotbay has a safety cushion of 500 million on its balance sheet in cash and that they are gross in the future so no worries about hotbay going bankrupt especially with the cash they have a look at the stock price hotbay has been really cheap especially i did this analysis two months ago so when it really was cheap so it was a good call now it's a little bit higher but nevertheless if we add everything up we get to a stock price of around 14 minus the debt per share which is five bucks so i get a fair value for hotbay of nine dollars per share which is still above the stock price of seven the risk for hotbay a recession copper prices get hammered in a recession and the stock price would also suffer so that's always a risk when investing in industrial commodities like copper the second risk is the water permit for their rosemount project if they don't get it stock price will get hammered and the delay in those kind of projects really is something investors don't like so those are the two main risks for the company the debt isn't that much of a risk because of the high cash flows and the long-term majority of the debt so a very interesting high exposure to copper investment my target for the company is 10 would be a fair value now as 14 is the net present value of the projects we deduct the debt we get to a present value net present value of nine for the company exposure to higher pro copper prices so i think 10 is fair now if copper prices hit 3.5 dollars per pound 4 dollars per pound then really i see hotbay at 20.25 so it's a pretty high potential investment with a margin of safety coming for the low cost and excellent projects in the pipeline if you have any other copper investment ideas please leave them below happy to take a look at them if you have any interesting insights of hotbay also leave them also please share them with
