give it a thumbs up, consider subscribing. Now, if you want to stick around, I'll answer all your questions, the best of my abilities, and we'll do a little Q&A, and we'll go from there. All right. Marcus Figueroa has a really good question. Why do we have to pay taxes when government can print money out of thin air? You know, my favorite thing is, is why do we pay taxes when essentially it goes to other countries? Like, it seems like it doesn't matter what I pay for, then, of course, it just goes to other wars, and then it helps to rebuild those other countries for the, you know, the wars that we help with. And I don't want to get political, but I never understood either. It's like, doesn't work like that. But as far as like taxes, of course, it's not just about printing your way out of it. It's actual GDP and what we actually produce and what we export and what we import, and we're not really doing a great job of that. And of course, we have to keep printing, and we have to keep selling to these other countries so they can buy our debt, and just a big round-around, merry-go-round. So yeah, that's me. It says, I hope you jump in the green screen, okay, we'll hold you to it. Absolutely. I've made that deal with everybody. Greg Bonnelli says, Rob, when do you stop buying it? That's a great question. We actually answered this yesterday. I did a short version of when I stopped buying, and there's really two things you need to look at for me, and it's time and risk bands and the PyCycle Top. And just watch the video from Sunday, and it says specifically when I'm going to stop DCAing. So that's a very timely question. That's a good question. Cairo Popov, how will hypercycle token price rack once most the tokens are pledged from wallets to compute in March? Great question. I'm still, I got to get my man Jerry Hall, Jerry V. Hall, not Mick Jagger's girlfriend or wife, Jerry V. Hall to help me set up that node for hypercycle. And I'll do a video on it. Thank you, Jay, today. I appreciate it. Me and Jay today, we don't, I think it's Jay today. I think it was, we were talking, I think it was on X, was us, where you're like, I don't, it was about the loan thing, but difference of opinion, I can appreciate that. Meme says, Rob, we could have done without you. No, I think you could have. I think you all could have. I think you guys are, you guys are resilient to be here. It's not like I made great speeches or something like that. I'm pretty vanilla. I said the same thing all the time. Rob, I know you hold like any tokens, but take a look at ChainFlip. You've been good company on the bear. All right. ChainFlip. Take a look. I deserve a green screen. Derek says, it's been a haul. Thank you. Thank you for tuning in. John says, my golds are very small. I think I lost the map. Web3 says, I wish I trusted Jasper out of Texas. Yeah, Jasper seems to be a huge play in making big money, big moves, I should say. Edward says, all in on Pepe. Ben's going to do a Bitcoin dominance video. I don't know if you've ever seen or watched Ben's videos on Bitcoin dominance breathtaking. Fantastic stuff. You have to watch it. And I have to do my Pepe dominance, Pepe coin dominance video. That would be great. When Ben puts out his new Bitcoin dominance video, I'll put out that one. Respect the pump. That's right. Web3 review. Yes, Ross offer freedom. And you know what? I forgot to tell you something. Shoot. You have until April 15th essentially to sign up for I trust. Because in the States, you have until the end of like the tax season, which is April 15th, to contribute to your Roth for last year. So here's an example. If you want to contribute $7,000, $8,000, $10,000 your age, if you can do that before April 15th, then that goes towards 2023. And then on April 16th, you can then contribute and take that whole year to contribute another $7,000 or $8,000. If you wait till April, April 16th and want to start up a Roth IRA, you're stuck with essentially 2024. So that's what I need to remember. Next time I do that and talk about it. Oh, I'm the most is Portugal will put heavy tax on crypto very soon. Well, we'll see. I've been hearing for three years how Puerto Rico is going to revoke x60. Never happens. But hey, never know. Government is the devil. I don't think it's the government. I think it's the people that are in the government. Danny Garcia going for gin and tonic as well. You should work. Come by on Thursday. If you got your money, some Voyager, you still got to pay tax on the funds you could never withdraw. I don't know if that's accurate. Let's ask. Let's ask the guys from Queen Ledger, shall we? Sermotaneous says that's a pretty funny. That's a pretty funny handle. But it's for the previous tax year. No one as much gains in 2023. It's very true. I've sold some. So I'm going to probably always owe a little bit here and there. That's why like I run it through coin ledger takes well now it takes like no time. I mean, because I have all my my wallets linked to it. And you send over my CPA and say, here you go. Here's the report. And then she's like, okay, thanks. And then, you know, two weeks later, okay, I'm done. Yeah, coin ledger does the bulk of work. Yeah, man, I'll pay for time. I'll pay for time because that's one thing I can't buy. I guess you really can if you think about it. If you buy health by things, you can do the things you want to do. Veterans says it's a good one. Does long term capital gains tax apply the first time you purchased a specific crypto or the last time? This is a specific question you need to ask the CPA. I got to ask them again, because it's it's FIFO first in first out or FILO first in last out. So essentially how you actually structure the way that you pay your taxes. If you say, like, okay, the first one that I bought is going to be the first one that I'm going to, you know, I'm going to take taxes on or it's the last one on the first one. I always forget. So we'll talk to Jordan Bass about that. Oh, and then David Kemmer also be here, the founder co-founder of coin ledger. Andre says, do you know anyone who's transferred a crypto account to one of those no gains countries? Is that what your PR video is? No. No, it's not that you'd hope it would be right? You're like, well, this makes sense, right? I'll just carry this with me. It's going to take my ledger or my tangent. And I'll just sneak across the border. But unfortunately, the exchanges that you use have your information and they have your social and they have your address. And they probably report to the governing body that you have to deal with to pay your taxes. So they know pretty much everything. And if they want to look back, they will. So that's not what that video is, but that video is is talking about the timeframe to actually move. If you're looking for real estate agents, if you're looking for specific places to live, if you're looking specific lawyers to help you with the x60 process, or if you want to do it yourself. And then of course, some different key insights that I've picked up along the way. I think it's, I wish someone would have made that video before I moved here. That's all I can say. But I love this place. It's great. It takes a little while to get used to it does. But once you're here, like I've been here for three years, something like that. The only reason I want to go back to Texas is to see the family, see friends and the salsa. The food is so good. Edward says too late to do a lump sum investment. I don't know. I don't know. I don't think so. Depends on what you want to lump sum into. Like I know some people will say, why are you even buying Bitcoin anymore? Like safest thing out there. I mean, people say, well, there's way more gains in Ethereum and Solana and optimism and fill in the blank coin. True. But you're talking to a guy who would put in hundreds of thousands of dollars in the real estate and hopefully it would go up 10% over a year and I'd be super happy. So anything that I do now is pretty good. It's not like free money, but it just feels a lot easier to do it that way. But don't worry. I still have my DGEN plays. If you haven't checked out Dan DGEN, it's on my second channel. That's where all the risky stuff I invest into. That's where you want to go. Check that out. So again, like I said, you're either going to make a lot of money or you're going to lose everything. It's usually not in between. It's gambling. Yes. Naren says, also Rob, when you do come out after the bull run, will you sell to buy stable coins or will you buy fully into fiat? You know, we were talking about this on NFA Live and Guy had a good point. He said, remember, he goes, you know, people thought they were stable in the Luna stable coin. They thought, oh, it's in a stable, so it's okay. No big deal. And then there was another example. I can't remember what it was, but they said, you know, like you can do that, but what's the point? You know, if you want to put it in a stable, you can certainly do that and you can put it on your tangem, your ledger, your cold storage device, everything's good. But if you want to, you know, have that backed up FDIC insurance in a bank up to 100,000, then you can do that too. And then some people will say, ah, the banks will collapse and so on and so forth. Yeah, perhaps. But I mean, what's more likely? What's more likely? A crypto stablecoin collapses or a bank collapses? I'll leave that up to you. But for me, I'll probably do both. Because I like to diversify a little bit, just like I diversify with everything. And that's about it. Beef curtains. It's funny. I remember, I seem to remember Rob selling around 17K and selling my goals and not your goals. And I remember me wrong. My goals are not your goals. That's correct. But if you think I sold everything, I do talk about taking profits along the way. I don't remember saying anything about 17K, maybe. But even if it was, you know, you sell like, let's say you bought at 15K and it goes to 17K. I don't know why the hell I would say 17K. Maybe I did. But again, I think I just said taking profits at, I remember when it was at 45K or not, went to 52K. And I was talking about taking profits and went to like 49, 48K.  I'm like, well, yeah, went to 52K.  And that's it. Look, I appreciate people who are worried about my portfolio. I thank you. But really worry about your own. I'm just fine. I will be just okay. You are very calming. I mean, all the hard work is already done. I mean, really. What do you think of this body? It's, yes, I think it's great for us. I mean, it's done pretty well. I didn't, I didn't really even care if it would, if it really brought a massive amount of institutional money into it. But I just cared about the narrative. And once BlackRock gave it the, you know, the rubber stamp of approval, and I was like, well, this is it. What else we got to do? Roma tracks, the best YouTube fans. All in all, the best ex fans. I've got, I've got them all. How's your back? My back is okay. Taking medicines, able to stand up fully, can't run or jump or anything. Can't sit for long times, but I'll be okay. Yeah, Matt Hart says, did you see the Charles Hodges announcement that ETS will give them consensus power over Bitcoin? Give it to Charles. I mean, he's got a way of, of saying things to make it double, to really think hard about buying into Bitcoin. Do I think they could happen? Sure, it could happen. But they got a long way to go. They do got a long way to go. Yeah, we'll see. BM says, do you own any MicroStrategy or I don't own any MicroStrategy. Tesla, yes. MicroStrategy is a stable company. But, you know, I've seen there, let me show you, should I add this one right here? So check this out. MicroStrategy stock went parabolic. During their first purchase of Bitcoin, this was roughly August 2020. Look at that stock price. And then of course, it followed perfectly in line with Bitcoin. I mean, essentially so, right? Here's April, around November, and it dropped off a cliff because of the Bitcoin price. So like, I look at this and I'm like, well, it's kind of like a proxy for Bitcoin, right? So I'm like, well, how did this, how did MicroStrategy stock do over the over the years? Not that great. So the only time it did really super fantastic was during the dot com era, when it first came out IPO'd, I guess, around 2000, March 10, 2000 is when it hit. I mean, that's a lot. Talk about speculation, right? But after that, you know, you can see in 2002 was pretty flat for two decades. I have little peaks and valleys here and there, but when it really took off was after Bitcoin. So me personally, I'm like, I don't need to buy MicroStrategy. What I need to do is buy more Bitcoin. That's my thought process. Then Bitcoin down, is it a premier? I sure hope so. He should do that. I got to tell him he should do the premier is where he can just sit and answer questions in the background. I'd show up for that. Pump it all. Do you have CASPA? I do have CASPA. And it's, is it in my Tangem wallet? I have a spreadsheet because I have over 80 cryptos. I can't keep things straight. Let's see. I'm pretty sure it's here. Let me turn this on. And again, if you guys haven't checked out Tangem, link in the description. It is an affiliate link. So if you can't stand that thought, I get you. I got you. You can go right to Tangem.com and pick one up. But, oh yeah, there it is. CASPA. 5 million, 200, I'm just kidding. I got enough. Becky says, do you think we'll have a small pullback? Yes, we should. I think that's healthy. I don't think that everything goes straight up to the moon and that's it. Usually when we take a look at it, that's how things usually go for the bull run. Income limits apply. Sounds like the SEC talking to us about being an accredited investor. I hate that. Samson, ZXX, I've been down across having the past few months, how I'm waiting for a significant pullback to go all in. Given the current climate, do you think we're going to get one before the having? Well, we got one in 2020. But you have to remember, in March, the reason why we got a significant pullback was because of surveys of sickness. That's right. It was around doing great at $8,000, $9,500, and then it dropped off a cliff to $3,000. Then it regained roughly when drone Powell said, hey, we're going to do quantitative easing on March 15, 2020. And everything just went straight up. And we hit $10,000, $11,000, $12,000. Now, if you look back at 2016, before that having, we pretty much rallied into it, but then we had a dip afterwards. I think it's usually, let me make sure that's right. I think that's right. July 2016, that's right. So we rallied, yeah, we rallied into the having, 764, then it dropped off. That was the same thing, actually. Let me take that back. So yeah, June 21, 2016, we were at 750. That sounds so ridiculous. It was $750, it dropped down to under 600. That was in 2016. And then of course, we got the having roughly one month later, right? And then if we fast forward to 2020, somewhere around here was the having, around $9,200, about $9,000. So we actually, we're actually pretty flat for a, we rallied a little bit here, over $10,000 on February 13th. That's kind of weird timing. And then what happened for Corona or Surveysa sickness in March. And then we just kind of re-accumulated. So yeah, I mean, you could see it by the rumor, Seldenews either happens before or happens after. So it could be, but I don't know. The thing that I wonder, the thing that I really wonder is, well, what if it does this? It's one things you have to think about. What if it goes to, I don't know, 58,000, 59,000. And then it pulls back to 57,000 or 56 or 55, and you're like, what's the same thing I'm here for? I don't know. I'm sure there's some TA people that can tell you though. Talk to Tom Crown. Go find Tom Crown's channel. That guy knows Scott Watson. It's a good question. When will Coinledger allow us to track loan type transactions? Scott, come by for the, for the live stream. And we'll ask David, the co-founder of Coinledger, that exact same question. Danny says, it's interesting how Bitcoin dominance is only happening with Bitcoin pumps. That's true. Yes. If I have a regular IRA with I trust one open a Roth IRA, and if you can convert the traditional to a Roth, I believe it is true. So I would talk to them. I believe there's, there's a lot of, there's a, obviously there's going to be paperwork in a process, but I think so. Let's see. Thank you. Ooh, from Seodoth Wadis. One of my favorite places to go. That was, I do like, you go across the bridge, best food of all time, the best mole out there. Honestly, one of my CPA even knows anything about crypto, probably not, probably not. That's why I want you to come by and then look, look at this. So first of all, if you go to coinledger.io, there's a link in the description and scroll all the way down. See here where it says find a crypto expert. Click on that. And you've got a ton of CPAs that are well-versed in crypto and digital assets. And, and look, if, if you've got 10 transactions, 20 transactions, 30 transactions, maybe up to 50, you don't need coin ledger. You don't need these guys. This is for like people who have multiple, multiple wallets and multiple transactions and NFTs and crazy wacky stuff that they know they were like, maybe I shouldn't have done all these trades. This is what you probably want to look into. And then also I want to like to show everybody this for the, for the fourth time, there's a portfolio tracker. It's free. You click on here and they just give the email and they, it's a portfolio. Watch this. I'm going to log in with a, this is a dummy account that they gave me, test account. What's cool about this is you just like give your public address of your, of your wallet, which I give anybody in my public Bitcoin address, just not my private one, the public address have at it, send me all the Bitcoin and polygon and theorem you want to, I don't care. But yeah, you just do that and it reads the wall, reads the wallet addresses and it puts all the information in and it'll tell you like, like here, I'll say like, Oh, so these wallets. So it'll tell you like, if you got Bitcoin in multiple places, like let's say this is a manual on Coinbase Pro and Coinbase, it'll tell you like, Hey, from the time that you bought to right now today at present time, your unrealized return is $70,000. This guy's got 1.7 at $54,069. So whatever you, the value is $93,000.  Good for you. You're up $70,000. And it's going to tell you like, if this is short-term or long-term capital gains, it's pretty good.  If I like, look, you're, you're underwater, you're underwater at $183. The great thing about crypto is that because security, commodity, currency, what is this? You could sell it right now and buy it right back immediately and take those tax loss harvesting. Now, usually this happens towards the end of the year. Not right now. I'm just saying, but it just kind of helps you do those things. And then it couldn't, overall it can just kind of track everything. And you can say like, Hey, how am I, this last month, how am I doing? Well, Rob, you're doing pretty good with your dummy account. Your cost basis was $58,000 and you're up $105,000. This is something that you can show your significant others will stop yapping at you. Like, look, I'm up. This is how much I'm up. So stop bothering me. How about a year? Ooh, this is kind of, they'll show you if you're underwater and then above water. So yeah, it's free. I like that part. And then of course, if you want to roll into like a tax report, all the information is already there. So it's like, bam, done. And then the price, if anybody asked me, it's between $50 for like 300 to 500 transactions all the way up to $199 for unlimited transactions. So I'm not going to break the bank. Now it says, where do you have your IRA in? My Roth IRA is with iTrust. And that's like, see that box above my head all the time? That's iTrust. Oh, you get $100 funding reward. That's pretty good. There's a link in the description. And I show you, it's an affiliate link. So just be aware. But I show you that and I show you how it operates, how it works on a deep dive video. And it's all there for everybody. But remember, that's what I like to do. Let's see. That's a good question.  So I have to sell but take a loan towards it? Nope. Not that I know of. I know Crypto Ricardo talked about it. He said he does things through Curve, the DeFi platform. And I'm like, you can do that. I'm just not doing that. I just don't see the point of it. I don't want to take loans against my crypto. I learned my lesson through Voyager and Celsius. I'm not going to make that mistake again. Because who knows? And even though Curve is up right now, who knows what's going to happen later? I'm just not that guy. Scott says, what time is the coin ledger live show going to be? I want to ask them the questions. I'll tell you exactly what it is. Let me look at my calendar. It is Thursday, 29th of February, at 2 p.m. Eastern, 1 p.m. Central, 12 p.m. Mountain, and 11 a.m. Pacific. So I'll post that on X. That is a no-missile. Yes, because I've been having a lot of questions that we already did one with David, but I wanted to have the CPA in there to get all the questions everybody had. Because tax season has come up. You know, we're almost like a month and a half away, if you haven't done it already. Yep, life-full. Last and first out or first and first out, based on previous returns. Thank you. I always forget that. Melanie, thank you for the surprise of the bear market. Couldn't have survived without you. Great. Worked out pretty well. Newtype, your app, Artemis XYZ. It's not my app. It's just some I use. Was I opening? That's great. I think NIR is heavily mispriced. Do you have videos on the NIR ecosystem? I do not, but Guy over a Coin Bureau just did one. Fantastic. Check that one out. Bobby says, how is the humidity? It's a lot better than Florida. It's a lot better than Midwest here in Puerto Rico. It's always the same weather. You wake up. It's about 68, 70 late afternoon. It's like around 80, maybe. And then at night, it's around 70 every day. It's great. NIR says, you don't have to stick to life-full or 5-4 DACA. CPA will encourage you, though. Yeah, probably because it makes it easy for them. I don't know. I just stick to the same thing they sell me. No salsa in Puerto Rico. There's salsa. They're like, what is this stuff? Manes and ketchup or something like that? I think it's going to combo. Number go up. That's pretty much what people say. What did Sailor say I'm buying forever? Yeah, I did. I'm going to put out that video. For Michael Sailor, it makes a lot of sense just to buy forever. Because just what we took a look at with the stock price, that's really good for his stock price. If he can just do that, and then he can sell $216 million of micro strategy shares on January 2nd, 2024, then why wouldn't you do that? Now, I'm not saying he didn't take that money and immediately stick it into Bitcoin. But I'm just saying, if you have a multi-billion dollar business and it's dependent on Bitcoin, why would you ever sell it? Why wouldn't you just keep buying forever? And he is right. It is the hardest asset out there. So in that situation, I can see where definitely you never want to sell your Bitcoin. Some people got to pay some bills, though. BM says, what are your goals for this cycle? The goals for this cycle is to stick to the plan and not be a moron and get ahead of myself and think that, oh, well, this could be the next super cycle or this could be the next greatest thing or maybe it will go to a million now. Trust in the process. You made a plan at your most sane, so just follow it through. If something major happens, like if America comes out and says, guess what? We're dumping the dollar. We're going to have the Bitcoins as the World Reserve currency. Probably think about sticking around with Bitcoin a long time. But that's the goal. There's really no money-wise or value-wise. At this point in my life, it's not going to change much. I'm going to drive the same Hyundai Sonata or whatever the heck it is. No, Hyundai Venue. I'm still going to have a bad back. I'm still going to do the same things I do. It's not going to change me too much. But for other people, the goal of this cycle, though, was to show people that if you have a plan and you stick to it, things can work out. To not get ahead of yourself and do a round trip, meaning taking everything, buying it through the bear market like we just did, and not taking profits along the way and getting screwed out over the long haul because of some new crazy scam that comes up. I don't know what the next Voyager Celsius FTX Block Buy is. I don't know, but it's out there and it's coming.  My goal, the real goal this cycle was just to say, this is what I'm doing, this is what it is. You can follow me or not and step aside. That was it. That was the goal. Thank you. Thank you, mods, for making this reasonable and keeping away the spammers. I appreciate you. Praz Nina says, do you think the retail will come back? Maybe we're the retail now? No, you're not the retail. Tourists get burned last run and their wounds still haven't healed to the degree they come back. Hope I'm wrong. They'll come back. They'll come back because they can't help themselves. A small percentage will learn the lessons that we know right now, which is you have to keep buying in the bear market and the bull market is for selling and the bear market is for buying. It's very simple, but they're going to take, hopefully they figure it out, but it's not our job to make sure they figure it out. Our job is to do the best things we can possibly do and if they don't listen, it's not our fault. Yeah, sure, Peggy. How can you have 20% of Latin music that going nuts? My wife's from Juarez. That's decades and decades of listening to that. It's good stuff. This is your third run? No, this is, yeah, this is, damn it. This is my third run because I was here at the bull market in 2017. Mariachi music drives me insane. That's not, that's like when you're at a restaurant and you're really pounding down beers or you're at a wedding or you're at a quinceanera or you're at a birthday party, but come on. No one listens to Mariachi music in the car. Just kidding. Some people do. I don't know. It's a good question. Naren says, Rob, what's your thoughts on living in your country but having an international bank account? Like keeping your account in Puerto Rico or Malta might have, might that concept for taxes work? Probably not. Because remember, wherever you're on ramping or off ramping, usually it's an exchange. That means that that exchange has all your information. So like you can do a lot of things. You can use dexes and on ramp and off ramp, but the exchange doesn't all your information. They're going to report that to the government. That's the stipulation. Binance didn't do it as much, in my understanding, but because of the lawsuit, like levity against CZ Binance, KYC and AML, you better believe they're going to say whatever you want, America. Here you go. Zankara, does the tax swap software coin ledger? I got you. If you had a coin for over a year and then you had more, does it tell you the dates for the short laundromat capital gains? It doesn't say specifically, but it'll tell you like, let's see, come over here. It'll tell you the dates that you bought it. So like, let's take Chainlink right here, right? Because you're in the green for Chainlink. Here's your balance. Click on the balance. Well, this is very easy example, but it says here that you bought it on January 4th, 2021. And it would just show that, you know, that's how much you have. But in another example, like you could have like, you know, 20 different transactions, it will give you the timestamp of when you actually bought it and you just got us. And I believe, but you know what, I'm going to ask David that question to be up over here. And it should be one year or more or one year or less. That'd be pretty cool though, wouldn't it? Let me go back. So what I envision is this, let's take the graph. Okay, this is better. Not as good though. So this would be, I'm talking like 50 different transactions and have everything like color coded. That would be ideal. And then just give like a timeframe. I mean, an amount, but yeah, you just do that. And you can just see like, okay, well with this one, the balance, cost basis, you know what? It doesn't really do as good as a job here, because it just tells you the transactions, the fees that I wanted to do is, well, I guess it really wouldn't matter. It would just be 2021. But there's a better way to do that, I think. I'll talk to, I'll ask a good question. This is why I like when people tell me what they need. Why is the market pumping, Rob? This is why. There are more buyers than sellers. Nailed it. Dennis says, you are wrong here. Micro strategies way better than owning spot ETF. I didn't say owning spot ETF is better than micro strategy. I just said owning Bitcoin is better than owning micro strategy. I am not going to get into a stock as opposed to the hardest asset out there.  And if a spot ETF, if you don't trust yourselves with custody, that's the way to go. But I think everybody's smart enough. I know everybody's smart enough to figure out cold storage wallets and self custody. It's not rocket. If I can do it, anybody can do it. Well, this is when are you going to get some just for men for that beard? Why? Tell me this long to get these white whiskers. I'm going to hide that. I'm good. Fantastic Alice is new to crypto. Will Bitcoin definitely drop in price after the bull run? Yeah. As usual, we'll keep you on this time. Some people say, you're going to hear this term. I'm just going to get everybody to know it right now. And then this is it. There's going to be a term that's going to be called supercycle. And you're going to hear that again. And you heard I heard that same thing in 2021. It's what screwed me up last time where they say that because that there is so much mass adoption because the institutions are here because there's adoption as far as sovereign nations and wealth funds and institutions, all this stuff that Bitcoin is finally going to be mass adopted. It's going to be a supercycle. And it could be. And it could be. That's why like when I'm talking about selling crypto, I talk about selling 80% but keeping a 20% hold back because maybe Bitcoin does go to a million. Who knows? I personally don't think that's going to happen, but a lot of people will go against me. And remember, I'm wrong plenty of times. Who's the one that said that the ETF would not get approved? I didn't think it was going to get approved. I just didn't think so. And I was wrong on that one. I mean, I was right all the way until that point. But for a supercycle to come in, I always see it like this. The technology does not keep up with the man and the hype. And then from there, there's a bear market because people just get so over exuberance and to buying and they get over their skis. And then before they know it, they're like, wow, this is way too much. And then people start realizing that it's just too overheated and they start to short the market. They start to manipulate price. They start to do all the things that they can do to actually make it go down and then make a killing. It's happened in 2013. It happened in 2017. It definitely happened in 2021. I think it's going to happen again in 2024 or 2025. If I'm wrong, great. We've all got a hodl bag, right? We agree on that 20%. You can keep 100%. I don't care. But if you got 20%, I think it's with a hodl bag. You still do pretty good. And that's it for tonight. So look, everybody, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it. Like today's video, thumbs up, consider subscribing, all that good stuff. That is it for today. So I appreciate you guys and I will see you on the next one. Have a good day or night. Bye.

Fred of Willard will you read us one of our favorite Christmas stories? No, but I will read you this one Riggle the red-nosed Prognosticator damn it. It was Christmas and Rob Riggle was sad because none of the other Fox guys let him play Well in their Fox guy games and so Rob set sail looking for somewhere he belonged Then suddenly where am I? You're on the peninsula NFL misfits you mean Florida no not that bad who are you? I am a Mac in the box.  No I'm literally Mike McCarthy and Aaron Rodgers sent me here to live in this box now You can always go coach the Browns Nah, this is better. Who else is here Fitz magic eight ball Will you ever play again? What were you holding out for he doesn't even know anymore and then the Mac in the box introduced a bunch of other NFL Misfits that would have been too expensive to animate So are these toys are actual people whose traits have somehow been physically manifested Abbey Don't overthink it. I guess this is where I belong Rob said in a voice.  It's a Christmas miracle. I Gotta go and make my picks. How do I get back? You'll have to talk to the elf king of NFL misfits. Oh, no, you don't mean The only one who knows the way out of here No, we would just love it if you took him with you Please and so Rob took Glaser to a bar by the airport where he ate with his mouth open and made a child cry The end Fred, how did you get in my house?

Yeah, Pickens really went all out with that auto. Yeah, exactly. Well, I mean, clearly based on his play, he's not a big effort guy outside of what he really has to do, so it doesn't shock me that there's no effort in his autograph. I feel like he's the guy who says, yeah, football. Petrie to 125. I didn't really have to do it. Tyler Scott. Oh, 100%. I didn't learn cursive. I'm not really upset. I didn't learn cursive, though.

Rookie for the Bengals, base and base, Joy Porter Jr. and base. It's because the older guys actually took time to spell out their name. Right. They spelled their whole name 95% of the time. Right, exactly. Silver Collar Murray, that is a KJ Henry. Silver Rookie Auto for the Commanders, Will Anderson, and Emmanuel Forrest. Portal Tended Hooker, Purple Ice, George Pickens, the 225. A.J.

I made a list of just cards I'm looking to pick up for the PC, and that is literally one of them. One of them. I don't blame you. That's an awesome one. Especially since this is like his last year of signing. And that's it. Oh, yeah. He's done. Like, he's already announced that it's his last year for signing, and that's it.  I don't blame him, dude. Brother, he's listening to his legacy. Blame it all. Seven to go on the next half case, everybody. Seven to go. Oh, this is number 19, right? Oops, I had to switch the title. I meant to switch the title. Sorry, everybody. This is number 19 if you're confused. Yeah, Keith Hernandez is another one with a really good auto. Goose has a great auto. Crossage, yeah. Yeah. No, exactly. That's what happens. See, a lot of these guys start out with really good autos, but they have to sign so much. I'll put it like this. Like Hunter Green was another one with a great auto.

Hello, my name's Michael Rosen and I'm talking to you today about a campaign called Cook Up Your Own Fairy Tales. I write stories and poems. I even sometimes write things that are a bit like fairy tales, which also sometimes called folk tales. So one way you can think about folk tales and fairy tales is that they have ingredients, just as we talk about a recipe, having ingredients if you're making a cake and you've got eggs and flour. So that's what we're going to concentrate on today, thinking about the ingredients of fairy tales. So what is a fairy tale or a folk tale? What actually is it? Well they're usually short and for hundreds of years, possibly thousands of years, they've travelled through time and space. So that's across dinner tables, through villages, cities, deserts, seas, trading routes, told by everyone. Grandparents, children, teachers, merchants, tradespeople, they were very important storytellers and people who travelled with stories. They travelled in a mixture of ways, quite often orally, just somebody telling a story, but other times in books and in pictures and also of course in theatre and films, opera, ballet, these have all been ways in which we've shared these stories. But in the West, amongst the first people who wrote down the stories was somebody called Charles or Charles in French, Perrault, we sometimes say Perrault in English, and the brothers Grimm or the Brudes Grimm in German. Thinking of something like Cinderella, we can chase all over the world. I mean just the name of Cinderella, in French it's Cendrion, in German it's Ashenputl, and so these stories are different and they change each time somebody tells them or writes them down. So for example in the Chinese story, I think she marries a professor and her slipper, it's gold, and the fairy godmother I think is a golden fish and her nasty family prevent her from attending the local feast. So how do we remember these stories? As I'm talking, you're probably thinking of where you first met a story. Well, probably when we were very young, I mean my mum and dad used to tell me stories and quite often when we hear a folk story we think, oh, have I heard something like that before? Really at heart of fairy stories also, it is an imaginary world, they're not really meant to describe a real world. And anything can happen in an imaginary world, can't it? And let's have a think about some of those ingredients. I've already mentioned forests, they're quite often places where people can get lost, a little bit scary. Mysterious paths, they can be very ordinary places in folk tales and fairy tales, places like kitchens. Think of Cinderella, there she is, what's she doing? Sweeping up, that's what she is doing mostly. So they can be very ordinary and of course you could have something crazy. The Eddable House in Hansel and Gretel. Characters, who can you have as characters? Well, they can be anybody, can't they? Think of Puss in Boots, Puss in Boots. What are you talking about? A cat in boots who talks, often with a little hat? Well, you can have that in a folk story, can't you? You could even have a talking spider, you can have talking frogs, giants, witches, stepmothers. What else can you have? All princes, yes, princesses, wise women, you can have all of those. Quite often the objects in them, they can be enchanted. That's a very important thing, so you could have pumpkin, enchanted mice, cooking pot, a magic cooking pot. That's one of my favourites, that's an Italian story as I remember it. And you can have apples that are somehow or other enchanted, could be poisonous, can't they? Well, I'll leave you to think of which story. Keys, mirrors, rings, these can all be enchanted. And also you can have transformations, can't you?  Beans, what happens to the beans in Jack and the Giant's stalk? They grow into this great giant bean stalk, and up there, giants live. Yeah, so, and of course, a glass slipper. So you also have items in stories that can be, if you like, the means where you get from one person to another. They're kind of special tokens, aren't they? And also girls and boys can be very powerful in stories. A girl can overcome the cruelty of a wolf, siblings, brother and sister can escape from the witch's gingerbread house. And a girl can break free from oppressive sisters and stepmother. And of course, the folk stories and fairy stories can be nasty. They can have very, very nasty people or animals or giants, creatures and so on. And so they can include tyrants and oppressors. And so quite often these folk stories are about, well, they're kind of warning, really. They warn us about the consequences of bad behavior. They warn us maybe how to cope with scary situations. They're quite often about fear.  And the little person overcomes the big person, or it might be very dangerous and somebody who's quite innocent. So you often have a kind of looking up, being scared and dealing with it. You think of a great storyteller like Julia Donaldson. She created that idea in The Gruffalo, which of course is like a fairy story. So these stories can be very powerful and they help us to resist cruelty or to overcome hard times. So this campaign is really what we're doing is inviting you to cook up your own fairy tales out of these ingredients that I've been talking about. Do you think you could do that? We very much hope so. Thank you.

associated with Shark Tank. He's been associated with entrepreneur media for the longest years. He was first featured on the cover of Entrepreneur Back in 1985 and today it is so good that we have him right here in India. So Kevin, it's lovely having you here with us. Thanks for having me. It's great to be here. Thank you. So what excites you about India today? India in 2019? Well, there's north of a billion people here, obviously. So as a consumer marketplace, this is the one untapped market that I have never been able to conquer. Okay, so I started back in the early 80s selling products on TV in the United States, but we were able to go to Europe. We were able to go to Latin America and parts of Asia. But when we tried in the mid-90s coming here to India, it was very, very difficult and just not ready for us to come here operationally and all kinds of logistics that weren't ready. But now in the year of the as I think maybe the year of the entrepreneur, we could say we're ready to come here and we're looking to do some big things. So you made your first investment in India in new shock, which is primarily all about organizing new mage CPG goods. Correct. What is your understanding of the CPG markets of India? I mean, what is it that you researched and what do you think would make it a great success? So what what attracted me to new shop is that the that new shop it is their their concept is to be able to put small stores in places where people work, where they live, where they play, where they work out and where they stay, maybe at hotels, etc. So there's and so we have the ability to open stores very on a very low-cost basis and have distribution in workplaces and many of the other things that I just mentioned. But this gives us a chance to our goal. We have 30 locations now, we'll be in 200 within about four months, then a thousand and our goal is to hit 10,000 within a very short period of time. So if we can have 10,000 locations, we have a real a dent that we can make in the marketplace for new products that we bring on board. Do you see something very similar? Is it like a 7-Eleven of India that you're looking at building? Well, it's a much smaller scale than a 7-Eleven. So I think 7-Eleven has thousands of products. We'll have initially probably somewhere in the range of a couple hundred products. So and what we're looking for are fast-selling kind of products and this is what's interesting for me. My business for 35 years has been selling kind of hard goods, kitchen products, hardware products, fitness products. Some of these are you know one you know like one-time purchase kind of things. So it's when we launch a product, we have sort of a bell-shaped curve. When you buy a juicer or an expensive piece of fitness equipment, you don't need a second one. You may not even use the first one that you bought. So the business of Newshop is consumables and this is what really attracted me is that we're talking about a business where when we go into the ground floor of an office building and now the people are coming in in the morning, they need things in the morning. They need things at lunch. We may have to see a customer three times in one day. So it's a very consumer driven business for consumable products. Do you see more similar, do you see yourself doing more such investments in India? I do and and I'll say that first there's two sides of that. One is Newshop. So just think of it this way when we get to 10,000 locations and now a new entrepreneur, a young entrepreneur comes and says I have a new product, would you take a look at? Well if we put it into, if we order a dozen pieces for 10,000 locations that's an opening order of 120,000 pieces. That could dictate us maybe for a startup, being able to get some equity, maybe partnering, helping them with financing. So I believe that Newshop will be an opportunity for us to get involved in many other possible ventures but beyond that now that I'm here kind of spending time in India and hanging out with some of the kind of fun journalists like yourself and things like that. And by the way having done a little bit of the Shark Tank show, people will say hey can I pitch you something? So I get quite a few pitches and I can only see now that it's going to be pretty powerful here in India. Yes, we just actually, I mean particularly for CPG and consumer goods, we just sort of starting to see a first wave of big spur of growth happening. Yes. There used to be primarily our tech, we have been very tech heavy investment market till now but this year we're going to see a lot of movement in the CPG space. Yeah. Which is something we're very gung-ho about as a company. Yes, it should dovetail very nicely with what we're doing at Newshop but as an investor shark type of person I also like to take a look at other opportunities and things that think outside the box but I'm also looking to take products and businesses from here back maybe to the US. Back to the US, that's why. We've already identified. Do you see things the other way as well? The US products coming to Newshop. Oh yeah, absolutely. So we have the various products that will be part of Newshop that come from the US, absolutely. The format will continue to remain the small store format. Yes, to start with and the other thing, even though I say we bring products from the US back to India, we may manufacture them in India along the way because there is a duty structure that is can be prohibitive in some cases right. So we'll be looking to align ourselves with I say that in the US one of the things I can provide a young entrepreneur or startup entrepreneur is access to my Rolodex which for 35 years involves manufacturing, sourcing, distribution, etc. But in this particular case, we want to add to our Rolodex the fact that we can take products not just around the US but also into India and then align ourselves with manufacturers here in India which we're already doing now. So Newshop's products are all made in India right now. Right. Yeah. So I mean you've interacted with a few entrepreneurs you've invested in a young team of Newshop. What qualities do you see in Indian entrepreneurs that you feel a good affinity to with American entrepreneurs and what is it that you just like about them? Well I like the so far maybe I've been lucky but the entrepreneurs that I've been dealing with here they're not afraid to ask for advice and and help and I will be honest it as a young entrepreneur I was a little bullheaded in the day that I was thinking why not how to do it myself why do I need an expensive you know consulting deal or mentor or whatever but I found out the the hard way and a few ups and downs myself that having good mentors and people that will you know help you along the way I call it creating a great dream team and so I'm very impressed when an entrepreneurial team like I have now from the Newshop group came to me and said Kevin will you help us and and so right away that that's an opening step to saying okay well that you know somebody that acknowledges that they're that they could use some help makes me feel good because it's there there is a collaboration needed in building a successful business especially in today's world it's a very it's a challenging world out there so so having somebody open their mind to being open to taking good advice hopefully is good advice right is the first step in a good relationship as a shark investor what kind of investments have you made a new shop at this stage yes so so I have a partner back in the States is Harash Mehta who is is born in India and so he and I get together we have about five ventures together and he introduced me to the new shop entrepreneurs and so we immediately saw a great opportunity here because I've been a I say B to C business to consumer or D to C direct to the consumer entrepreneur for 35 years and he said Kevin this is a model direct to the consumer that is going to be you know in 10,000 locations and so we made an investment and now we're we're here this is my first trip to actually see the locations I saw pictures and things like that but now we're ready to start really opening up a Rolodex getting more products getting more sourcing and and looking to become much more involved not on a day-to-day level but on a on a brainstorming high level with kind of a assistance before we end it I would love to know what are the three qualities that you can pick in entrepreneurs before you make an investment okay so I love to see the first thing that I look for in an entrepreneur we've kind of touched on but it's it's it's somebody that is willing to accept some advice and guidance the biggest challenges that I had the worst investment I made on Shark Tank was somebody that I gave a half a million dollars to and didn't really want a lot of advice and and and about eight months later they closed the doors so I like somebody that is willing to accept some great advice I I love an entrepreneur that has a vision and a passion and and passion is very important because it as we all know and you've interviewed you know many many entrepreneurs there's obstacles every step of the way so if you go into it without a passion the first obstacle might knock you down and you got to get up and go back at it again so so I believe that that that passion and and the vision to succeed is is is very important and the and and the the last thing I think would be when when we get involved in in an investment we'd like to bring the dream team of experts up to help support the entrepreneur and so I think it's it's important that uh that that we can do that in the process and an entrepreneur that says yes I need a dream team I need a great finance person I need a great you know because myself when I started I was good in marketing but I didn't have the finance background I didn't finish college so um so I was a little bit pigheaded in the earlier days I'm getting the right kind of dream team so I think creating the dream team is important and and and having an entrepreneur with that with with with that vision that's willing to do that and knows how to do it and it's it's you know bringing on that advisor level and it's sort of look when you think about it why does somebody go on Shark Tank well they want money but really I think in many cases more than that they want that they want that dream team effect that this shark is going to bring to the table


Okay, happy Sunday. I hope you are doing well and a quick look ahead for what to expect in global markets this week Starting with how we have finished the second week of trading for this week And it's been a good year so far very early of course into 2023 But the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq each posted their second consecutive positive week Actually in fact was the best weekly performance we've seen since November and just looking at a heat map here of the S&P 1500 particular standouts have been the technology names You can see there the likes of Amazon up about 14% Microsoft 6 Apple 4% Google around five and a half Investors obviously digesting a couple of different things namely on a macro perspective the Orbea in line and did disappoint some of those looking for more aggressive declines But nonetheless a continued movement lower in some of the inflation metrics in the US Of course a couple days ago. We've also had a couple of the initial corporate earnings kicking off with the big banks The likes of JP Morgan out performing closing the session up on Friday around two and a half percent or so more of those Look out for this week, but let's just have a look elsewhere also worth noting I know I don't talk about it a great deal But you probably have noticed that the major crypto currencies by volume So Bitcoin and ether have had a pretty decent uptick since Friday really Bitcoin has traded from around The 16,000 level middle of last week is actually up north of 20,000 at the moment as you can see knocking on 21,000 just in the last few hours and ether above 1500 bucks again so again responding to some of the overall risk appetite the idea then on a global level if the Major central banks like the Fed start to get close towards that terminal rate if inflation conditions start to ease and Then that consequently Resulting as some of this broad across the market risk appetite. We've been seeing But gonna jump in and talk about the Bank of Japan and a lot of people talking about them They do have their meeting coming up this week They're kind of the one that a lot of people are looking at because there's been a lot of interesting things happen And while only one of 43 economists in a survey forecast the central bank Well all but one forecast them to do nothing Basically at this point to leave policy unchanged But many are saying that they can't rule anything out at this point and the reason for that is because the BOJ's messaging has become a little less clear following its doubling of a cap on 10-year bond yields and Corroda in the past has characterized that as such as a move That would be akin to a rate hike But last month said was aimed at improving the sustainability of the stimulus framework so kind of this Terminology that central bankers will use to kind of cloak different policy maneuvers that they might make now He will step down in April and a lot of people are looking at that as quite an important thing Because speculation is building that the central bank will then move toward a normalization of policy So a particular important juncture here particularly where the rest of the world like the Fed and so forth We're now starting to talk about hitting the peak of rates and then potentially what happens thereafter Now a couple things to be aware of here when it comes to Japan Is that Japan's 10-year yield rose above the new ceiling of 0.5% on Friday for the first time Since the December 20th gathering prompting the Bank of Japan to shell out some 3.2 trillion yen That's about 25 billion US dollars of fixed-rate bond purchases to rein it in and as you can see here This is that big blip that we saw at the end of last week Now there are a couple of other banks calling for some different options that the central bank might do lights a city group Economists they expect the bank to scrap its yield curve control entirely So as we're seeing from the exercise here, they can't keep this up forever Others economists at UBS and Nomura They say is for the Bank of Japan to make no change to those policies It takes a wait and see stance until markets fully digest the impact of its December Revisions one of the other things to keep an eye on here when they do have their announcement It's new quarterly economic projections released along their pot alongside their policy statement That will come under of course as always does close scrutiny They are widely expected to show a higher outlook for prices in the coming fiscal years Inflation data from Japan is due on Friday, which may also show some further acceleration at this point in time So that's the BOJ the other thing over the weekend that you probably might have seen in the FT was that credit Swiss is gearing up to cut more than 10% of its European investment bankers this year having already led Hundreds of staff go in London and Zurich This is according to sources from middle of the matter in the financial times the Swiss lender did announce back in October You remember they were the real focal point of Q4 in the banking system risk of potentially further disruption Things have stabilized quite dramatically since that point But back then they did say taking that abrasive action that they would look to cut around 9,000 roles globally over the next three years from around its 50,000 or so global workforce Those plans essentially have said to have stepped up in recent weeks consultations have been happening over the Christmas period So we're going to be expecting the bank to announce their second consecutive annual loss next month So they're probably going to want to get this Cost-cutting exercise out there to front-run then you know inevitably what's going to be very weak numbers when we get their earnings reports On the topic of bank earnings So last week we kicked things off We had the likes of Wells Fargo Bank of America JP and so forth Tuesday, we're going to get Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs Can they keep keeping a very close eye of course on the split of how different divisions are performing? Goldman's have already come out and talked they kind of front run the market again last week talking about how their consumer banking divisions been running a monumental size loss of late and Investment banking obviously has taken a big hit given the overall global economic situation for deal-making has been very Protracted just given the rising yield environment And so the trading activity generally has been fed a little better But that kind of explains the general story of how some of these more purist investment banks been performing So there'll be quite interesting coming out on Tuesday Other ones just to be aware of perhaps of note Charles Schwab on Wednesday You've got lights about Coa aftermarket as well PNG and Netflix always super volatile They're going to be coming out after market on Thursday as well But just moving over to look at the week ahead It is actually pretty busy one across the board really from Canada to the UK to China To the US and beyond so starting off in a chronological order with Canada the central bank publishes It's quarterly business and consumer outlook surveys on Monday Policymakers are watching Inflation and wage expectations they as they weigh whether or not to pause their fairly aggressive rate hiking pattern that they've had their next Meeting comes in just 10 days time on the 25th of January Consumer price index so CPI data for December in Canada is due on Tuesday And that may firm up bets for another 25 basis point increase after a pretty blowout jobs report that we saw most recently in Canada Moving on to the UK as you can see here Tuesday you get unemployment rate Wednesday you get the CPI data and at the end of the week you get UK retail sales So a couple things here Jobs and wage numbers will allow the Bank of England to gauge how price gains are feeding into the labor market From an inflation perspective as you can see here looking on the year-on-year figures Inflation due on Wednesday may have slowed closer toward 10 percent You can see it peaked here in October at 11.1 went previously to 10.7 expecting it to show another slowdown once again Analysts at ING are flagging the bank's favoured measure of so-called core Services inflation as perhaps the cleanest gauge of domestically driven price pressures And that has edged up in recent months And that will be quite key because signs that this that measurement is reaching its peak would boost the case for a More modest rate hike in February from the Bank of England Other things look out for from the BOE are they're releasing their credit conditions report on Thursday And they'll finish at the end of the week for retail sales on December Which is expected to show rebound from the previous month at a calendar high point for for spending And of course all of this to refresh your memory comes on the back of what we saw is quite a big surprise for the UK Where the growth the latest GDP numbers actually came in a slight positive And again equipped with some of the numbers we're going to see this week It's quite a tussle at the moment to see whether or not the Bank of England will decide to go for more Modest rate hikes or continue at a pace at this present point in time So quite a lot of play for here for UK based assets Going back to the calendar though one thing that's not on here because it's all mainly US or Western oriented markets is in the Far East where China released their retail sales report and investment Industrial output numbers for December that's coming out on Tuesday with downbeat figures expected and this coming because of the fact of Covid's sprint denting confidence in the final few weeks of 2022 fourth quarter and four-year GDP data as well from China will likely show the economy slowed under the weight of Covid restrictions and a property downturn But it's worth keeping in mind that despite the general negativity you might see in those numbers a lot of people are more Forward-looking now just given the dramatic U-turn that we saw this term time last week about the full board reopening Of Covid restrictions. So it's more about where does China go now? Not where it has been so forward-looking in that sense is how mark participants are likely to react to information coming out of that region Other things just moving on. So this is China here Credit growth has slowed more than expected in December But as I said, it's about what happens now that the shackles are off in terms of the Covid restrictions And then looking over to the US after the latest consumer price data showed us inflation was moderating attention this week Now turns to the demand side and we're going to get the release of you on Wednesday of December retail sales figures purchases Seen retreating for a second month. You can see here The previous reading that we had economists project prices fell for a second month at the end of last year Reflecting weaker Vehicle sales and a drop in receipts at gasoline stations as the predominant reason there Other reports on Wednesday include the producer price index industrial production and economists Expect a further moderation in prices paid in producers or two producers in December Concluding then in the EU is pretty quiet actually One of the things though that we'll get on Thursday is the European Central Bank's minutes from their latest meeting Christine Lagarde is due to appear at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Davos This is one of the first times all of this is going to return to normal in the post-covid world And worth keeping on the schedule. The Davos meeting does kick off From tomorrow and will last pretty much throughout the entirety of the week and does include heads of states central bank governors as well as other movers and shakers within different sectors across the global economy So definitely worth just keeping on your calendars as and when There's any notable speakers for assets. You might be looking at. All right. That is it So have yourself a good week ahead remember to check out the link below if you're not subscribed to our daily newsletter Would be great to get you in the community and start receiving some of the other Information that we do put out on a regular basis. All right. Take care. Have a good week ahead


How can I safely package my art resin pieces? We actually answered this question in detail in a video from earlier this year. Take a look. Rebecca from Art Resin here today to talk about how to package your art resin art for shipping. So you made some beautiful artwork, you coated it in art resin, and you sold it for a ton of money. Now you need to ship it to your buyer and make sure that it gets there safely and securely. There are some do's and some don'ts that I'm going to share with you. First and foremost, you absolutely must make sure that your work is fully cured. In this case that means 72 hours post a pour. Now while it may seem fully cured after that 24 hour mark, it's good enough to hang on the wall, but it's not good enough to package because you're going to be wrapping it in all of these packaging materials and you just need to make sure that everything is 100% fully cured. So wait 72 hours. If you've actually poured a really thick layer on there, then you'll want to wait even longer than that. The next step you should do is put on some gloves to avoid getting fingerprints all over your artwork. This might seem like an insignificant detail, but trust me it's going to save you some headaches in the long run. Next you want to roll out a blanket so you have a nice soft surface for working on and avoid any scratches on your art resin surface. So now we're ready to get into the packaging materials and we actually recommend that you work in layers with the first layer against the surface of the art resin being a beautiful product called Glacine. It's a paper product. It's really smooth. It's glossy. It's non abrasive. It's acid free and it will not scratch up your nice art resin surface. It's actually something that's used by museums and photographers to make sure that their photos don't stick to one another. It can be a little hard to find. Actually I recommend getting it from U-Wine or Amazon. Those are pretty reliable sources for Glacine. Well Glacine looks a little like tissue paper, but I'll show you the difference. It's really not the same at all. Tissue paper is very cheap feeling. It is a little abrasive when you compare the two and so when you're talking about protecting your beautiful art that you've spent so much time on, don't cheap out. Go with the Glacine. It's smooth. It's acid free and you will be happy with it. Now let's say you can't find Glacine or it's just really too cross prohibitive for you. I have three other options. This is craft paper. This brown stuff. You've probably seen this before. This can do a very nice job protecting the art resin surface. This is butcher paper. Again, a lot cheaper. Not as nice as Glacine, but it will do the trick. And if you're really in a pinch, parchment. But as I said, I really do recommend using Glacine. So that's what we're going to use today. So we're just going to wrap this like a present. You can just use scotch tape for this. It's totally fine. So now the surface is protected and we just need to put some cushioning around this to make sure that it doesn't get bumped around too much when you give it to the shipping carrier. And for that, I have this nice material. This is called poly foam. It comes in different thicknesses. I have a really thin one here. So I'm going to double up, maybe even quadruple up depending on how overprotective I want to be. And again, you just wrap like a present. Now, if for some reason you can't find poly foam, you do need some sort of cushion in there. So make sure that you're wrapping in a drop cloth, some rags, or even just cardboard. Anything to mitigate the bump in the shock of shipping. So voila, this is all set, ready for the box. Now, one thing I do need to make you aware of is bubble wrap.  And especially if this is all wrapped around your art and stuck in a shipping truck with weight on top of it, that's really going to make a whole lot of little impressions on your art resin surface that neither you nor your buyer are going to be very happy with. So get rid of this, you now need it. Stick with the foam or the cardboard and you and your buyer are going to be so happy you did. So from here, just use your appropriate size box, slip it in there, put a label on it, breathe a sigh of relief that your piece is properly protected.


The Government of St. Lucia is providing more tax relief to residential property owners. On March 19, 2024, Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre secured approval from the Lower House of Parliament to amend the Land and House Tax Act to extend the tax amnesty on residential properties in St. Lucia. The amendment exempts local residential property owners and sports St. Lucia Inc. from paying property taxes for the financial year 2023. The primary purpose of this bill, Mr. Speaker, is to amend the Land and House Tax Act to grant a further extension of the special tax exemption on residential properties. The second aim, Mr. Speaker, is a waiver of the tax owned on all properties owned and managed by Sport St. Lucia Inc. Local residential property owners get to keep that money and collectively save millions of dollars. The Land and House Tax Amendment Act No. 11 of 2017 granted a three-year exemption in residential property owners for the calendar years 2017, 2018 and 2019. That was followed, Mr. Speaker, by the Land and House Tax Amendment Act No. 32 of 2019 and No. 7 of 2021, which provided a waiver of two additional years. The economic realities faced by everyday St. Lucia households continue to influence the policy interventions devised by the Prime Minister and his cabinet. Office of the Prime Minister
