Is this new Asian female hangover changing the game for Asians? And could it actually open the doors for an Asian bro hangover movie? David, I just watched it. So let me give you my review. Yeah, we're breaking down joy ride. It's got really good reviews on rotten tomatoes right now. I mean, this is one of the only all Asian American cast movies. They got a national theater release for 2023. We know some of the people in it. Shout out to them. And yeah, we break down everything silly to serious Andrew. And we got a lot of entertainment talk here on the hot pot boys. So let's get into it. All right, everybody. We're going to get into the comments section. I will give you my review on, you know, portrayal from Asian men. Do I think the story is good? Blah, blah, blah. Should you watch it? Anyways, please hit that like button. Check out other episodes of the hot pot boys. You know what I noticed, Andrew? This girl's trip type genre movie. Every community kind of had one, right? Because girls trip was like Queen Latifah, Jada Pickett Smith. Bridesmaid was I guess more of the white version. Kristen Wiig. This is more like the Asian version. No, yeah. I was an Asian girl hangover or if you want to say girl's trip. Where's the Latina one? I'm there might be one though. I think people would look forward to that one too as well. But yeah, so we're going to get into it. First of all, fun fact, David, the original title for this movie was Joy F Club. You mean like Joy Luck Club, but with the F and Joy Fudge Club. It was that's pretty funny. But of course, they're not going to release that right? Yeah, a little cringe, a little cringe, but it kind of shows you the irreverence that they were approaching this. They were going for it and I respect it, but I'm glad that's not the name of the movie. All right, so let me just go through my review real quick. Was it entertaining and fresh? Yes. Did I laugh at 100% of the movie? I would say 75% of the movie. There was a couple of things that I wasn't as into, but overall, the movie is ridiculous and hilarious. Right. It is super well written. Seth Rogan does help produce it. Adele Lim writes it.   Seth Rogan is responsible for some of the best. You said that there's some Asian references in there like K-pop, Boba and things like that. Things that you would not think would make it into a Asian American movie. It is very much a very Asian movie as ridiculous as it is. It's very Asian, very raunchy too. But portrayal of Asian men, I think as Asian dudes, David, we can all agree we are wondering this question because it's a female centric movie. Great. Good. How are the Asian guys in it? Because I think guys are probably kind of skeptical. They're right.  A lot of the internet guys on the forums are going to be like, yeah, great. These girls made it in Hollywood and make Asian dudes look wack and like it's just going to continue the narrative for 100 years. But honestly, no, the portrayal is good. I would say it's good. Now it's female centric, of course. So I think females and Asian females particularly will gravitate towards this movie and feel it the most. Right. But no, you're saying that just like a Latina hangover or like Girls Night, it didn't approach it any different because like in Girls Night, they get with a like a lot of hot black guys in that too. Dude, it's all, listen, just in every movie dynamic where the nerdy guy ends up with a super hot chick that's probably unrealistic. There's a lot of hot guys in this movie too, but also smart guys and funny guys. So I think you're saying you're saying nerdy you're looking girls getting with super hot Chad dudes. Yes. But so does it tackle issues of Asian American identity that are interesting to even me, someone who thinks about Asian American identity. Right. You're saying topics that probably are not addressed oftentimes in movies that make it all the way through the bureaucratic process and ROI projections of the theater world. Yeah. I got to give them credit. It does for the most part. Yes. Because the main character is about, she's an adopted Chinese girl. So of course she deals with not being Asian enough and then there's also some jokes about not dating Asian guys, but that's like addressed at least. You know what I mean? And I think they did a funny job in the trailer of like having the liberal white parents that are like, hey, you want to teach my daughter some culture? Like, because I've seen that. And you know what? Like a good comedy, David, it didn't get preachy, but it brought stuff up. And that's what I do support because at the end of the day, listen, preachiness, it does get in the way it can feel. You're saying they were smooth with it. The way they brought it up was smooth. It was well written. Do I think non-Asians will like it? This is a big question. That's an ROI question. That's a return on investment algorithm equation question. Let me ask you guys this. Did you watch Crazy Rich Asians? A lot of non-Asians did. I think that this is the comedy for them. If you're open-minded and you can get past the fact that everybody's Asian in this, and there is a lot of Asian culture in it, let's be real, it is. And even though a lot of people think that Asian culture might be a little bit more foreign, then like bridesmaid's culture, like I guess like black American culture, right? They look at Asian culture often at times is more foreign.  I think that this is key where Stephanie Sue from everything, everywhere all at once comes into play because there is a world of, I don't know, I guess you say liberal-ish white media mavens or moguls, like hipsters, they're following her. Yeah. Because they identify with her, yeah. Well, you know, I love Szechuan hot pot, so I'm gonna go watch Joy Ride. Oh, no, they not on Szechuan, they on vegan Szechuan from Spicy Moon in 2023. No, I definitely think there's a market for it and I think it is just one of the most raunchiest comedies that's gonna come out this year, period, for Hollywood. Yeah, do I think, David, big question, will this pave the way? Do I think it'll pave the way for an Asian Bro comedy? Right, of course. This selfish question. No, of course. This selfish question would. The Asian Bro's in the, in Shout-Out to Asian Women, they got the Bro comedy before us, which is fine. Do I think it paves the way for Asian guys? Because, you know, Asian guys always feel like we're kind of like shut to the side or we're the last to get it. Yeah, I would say a lot of Asian guys feel like that theoretically, and obviously they didn't do that in this movie, right? They feel like the Asian women that get approved by Hollywood is just gonna get in there and have all the fun and if they end up playing out Asian dudes in that process, they're kind of like, we're in. Yeah. No, that's the perception. I'm not saying that that's the reality. Clearly, they did a good job showing that that's not the reality. That's the perception. Yeah, I think that's how it was. That whole attitude of like Asian dudes, basically we could bet on getting left behind or getting left in the dust 100%. That was more 10 years ago. It has progressively gotten better and I think this movie is a symbol of it. To be honest, it's great. So, no, no, I do think it sets it up for an Asian guy bro movie but I don't think that hangover movie for Asian guys, for example, is gonna come next year. But to be fair, we do got some Asian bro hangover movies in Asia. Andrew, one of the biggest ones even and you guys can't believe this because it's not everybody watching stuff out of mainland China. Lost in Thailand. Yeah, lost in Thailand. Bow bow. Hilarious movie. But I'll say this guys, this type of raunchy movie will not get made in Asia because Asia would not produce such a raunchy movie. Definitely the drug smuggling jokes. There's no way they're making that. This is American raunchy. This is very much an American movie. But to be honest Andrew, that's why a lot of those movies in East Asia, they center in Thailand which is sort of like their view of the place where some wild stuff would go down. Right, Thailand would be considered the raunchiest mainstream Asian country. Anyways, so we're just gonna go through the few comments here that we found of people who had seen it before. Somebody said, I love in the trailer how the little girl punched the bully in the beginning who calls him Ching Chong's on the playground. That's funny. That's a great dude. That's a great scene to open up with on the trailer. Honestly, they knew what they were doing. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now, yeah. Somebody said, this looks hilarious, picking up major girls' trips, vibes. Plus we'll see, I will see anything of Stephanie Sue's at this point. Yeah, great actress. I think that she also is in a lot of, I guess, hipster validated pieces. So if you like Stephanie Sue, you're gonna look out for her projects. Saw it last night was fun. If you like Harold and Kumar, you will like this. It was a little bit Harold and Kumar. Props to Seth Rogen on a good track record of productions. Him and Jordan Peele really played the long game and cemented their names. It's true. These guys are kind of known for like pretty much never really missing, right? Yeah. And I think that for a long time, right? People probably could criticize a lot of Seth Rogen movies for being very white male centric. Oh, there's only white guys as the main characters mostly. But yeah, I mean, I would say he helped produce this one. I don't know what he did, but obviously him being there along the way, he couldn't put his name on something that he thought had a chance of not being funny. Yeah, that's true. And Seth Rogen man, like whether he's your type of like Canadian stoner comedy or not, he's funny. Yeah, Seth Rogen is categorically funny hands down. He got that laugh. Somebody said, watched it with early access movie was hilarious, but I don't see anybody resonating it with it. Who's not Asian American themselves? Andrew, this goes, it brings you back. What's your word? I think, I think that's a fair feeling, but I think it's going to do better than you think. Also someone commented below. Oh, I guess that's just liberating. You know, they didn't make hangover for women or girls trip to appeal to really anybody beyond like black women at first, but both those movies got popular because they're just good. Right.  They're like, dude, quit talking about being Asian. It just matters if it's good. But it's, it's everything. Like the, the thing that it's Asian, it affects impacts people's ability to relate to it. The relatability of a piece oftentimes impacts people's rating of it, whether it was good or not. So actually yes and no, like when people say that, I'm like, yes, but that's like saying it doesn't matter how good a shooting you are in basketball. If you're just good at basketball, but being shooting is part of being good. I will say this for comedy because it's more culturally contextual. Like I think it is, it does have to feel like American comedy for it to be popular in America. Because people in America, and we don't necessarily even like British comedies and certainly not French comedies, even though there's a select international people that can appreciate taxi or something like that. But something like parasite because it's not a comedy and it's a thriller. I think thrillers and dramas are a little bit more like universal but comedy has to be contextual. Right. You're saying John Wick, for example, there's no way it doesn't translate to them. Dude, you couldn't understand. You don't even need to understand a word of English to enjoy John Wick. Anyways, someone said, yeah, some reviewers, one reviewer said, listen, whether ever you thought it was checking boxes for diversity or representation, it is a comedy first. It does have that ridiculousness. It does take it there. So they gave it like a 2.5 out of 4 which is a pretty good score. Obviously someone says, Joy Ride doesn't rewrite the comedy or road trip game, but it delivers what it needs to and it's emotional and culturally contextual and it feels authentic. Yeah, I mean, that makes sense. Listen, if it's going to be the first girls trip, bros trip, whatever you want to call it, movie in a community for ethnicity that is gaining obviously a lot more traction which is Asian-American representation. They're not going to go take it like too crazy crazy, right? Yeah. David, just to wrap it up, do you have any last thoughts? I would say that, yeah, I mean, go watch the movie. Honestly, I think it's one of the funniest movies with a bunch of Asian faces in it.  If you liked everything everywhere all I love once, you are probably also going to enjoy this movie. Just from what I saw from the trailer, I would say that that scene where they're smuggling drugs on the train, on the bullet train in China is hilarious, Andrew, because me and you, we've ridden the bullet train in Beijing. Yeah. Beijing and Shanghai, we took that train. Yeah, and there is a lot of references. Obviously it's heavily Chinese culture-based because it takes place in China, but there is Korean culture as well and there's touching on other cultures, but yes. And a lot of the cast is good at speaking Mandarin, right? Yeah, no, a lot of them are, I believe, I don't want to say native, but maybe near native speakers. They're just very, they're fluent Chinese speakers. Fluent guys. So yeah, I think there's a lot of cultural elements, a lot of cultural representation and references. There's obviously a couple parts of the movie that I thought dragged and that I wasn't as much into, but 70 to 80% of the movie, that's a good name. Go watch it. Take your date on it. Like if you, if she's a female, particularly, I think they will extra like it, yeah. Let us know what you think in the comments section below and also recommend the movie idea that you think could work as the next, I guess, step forward for Asian American representation. Let us know what you think in the comments section below. Go check it out, Joy Ride. I think it's out nationally in theaters soon, right? July 7th, 1200 theaters. That's a lot of theaters, guys. Yeah.


For this example, we have another complex looking number, negative 75.65625. And again, we're going to convert this to floating point format. As usual, our first step is to convert this from decimal to binary. Starting with the whole number part, I have negative number, got 64 plus 11. So there's my 64 and there's 11. Now I need my fraction. Looking at that, I know I have a one half in there, but it's probably not obvious what the other bits after that are. So I will use the multiplication method again to figure out exactly what those are. So as expected, my first bit is a one, and I will copy that up there. And I'll multiply the rest by two again. The next bit is a zero, multiply the rest by two. I'll take this one and write it up there. And if I multiply this by two, I will get 0.5. So I'd bring up a zero, multiply the 0.5 by two. I'll get one, and I would bring up the one. So there is my number in binary. I now need to convert this number into normalized scientific notation. So I want to move the binary point over one, two, three, four, five, six places. Again, which means that I will get, so there's my normalized scientific number. Next, I just need to fill in the fields of my floating point format. I can start with my sign bit. I have a negative number, so my sign bit is one. My exponent is six. I will add my bias of 127 to get 133 again, which is still 128 plus five. I'll copy this in for my exponent field. And last, I have my mantissa. Again, I will take everything after my binary point, copy it in on the left-hand side, and fill the right-hand side with zeros. So there's the binary version of my floating point number. If I convert this to hexadecimal, I will have C297500. That would be the hexadecimal form of negative 75.65625 in floating point format.


You're not as old-goat like I am But I remember back before roundup ready technology and back before precision planners and all this stuff the first time I saw a Field planted a field of corn emerging that had been planted with one of these new planners I couldn't believe it. It was incredible The precision and looking at this picture about how straight we can make rows across long fields I can't I can't write. I have to have lined paper to write. All right to be Tell us about GPS based guidance systems well No doubt about it when we talk about guidance systems and In the we're talking today about GPS or GNS based guidance systems about Essentially the ability of that machine to drive itself while the operator sits sits in the cab It just has grown over the last 15 or 20 years We talk about guidance today as air conditioning in these cabs I mean all the machinery today that's rolling off of the lines even even some of these smaller utility tractors today are starting to have guidance as a standard piece Integrated into the into the machine and so it's I don't want to say a necessity But it's just it's just common today and a lot of folks. It's just it's used and And There's no decisions. I'm using it today. So we're going to talk about guidance systems mark. That's kind of our next thing From a farmer's perspective. It is probably the most tangible benefit to the farm when we think about precision egg It's probably the number one technology adopted in precision egg today if you got guidance, you know You're really there's some things that you can do with that and good So going back we talk about this in the introduction on average and this is on average in Alabama based on Work we did about six seven years ago with some students looking at what is our average savings? Or you can look at the reduction of overlap. That's about ten percent That's that's a pretty big deal today mark when we think about not only the cost of inputs We think about just time in a field I mean we have a short window to get done and if I can save ten percent You know, that's a that's a big deal. So that's what we're going to focus on is is this guidance technology When we think about just some basics for minimizing overlaps We're getting that overlap down to a very small area Most of the research would tell you on average We were about ten percent and we can get that down to one or two percent or less per se in most cases And we can consistently do that if you think back in our days when we were small kids mark working on the tractors You know 12 15 hours out cultivating and I can tell you I made a few mistakes myself But you know, this is it gives you the ability to be accurate over time and go down the Same path time and time again And so when we start looking at inputs just the idea of getting our inputs out there where we want them Accurately and feeling confident about that. That's what guidance is really starting to afford all of our farmers here in Alabama and in the U.S John you remember coffee shop talk when you got tired and you was planting those last rows and they're doing You had to look at it for a year People people rag you about that for a long time and now You get tired. It's easier. It's an easier job Absolutely and safer and now we talk about who has the straightest rows and It's a Technology that'll quickly pay for itself and you know most the most the folks will tell you, you know It's it's it's already paid for itself in terms of that quality of life. We mentioned earlier We can do things and this is from John Deere work at night very accurately We don't have to make guesstimates when we're coming up to headlin the returns the technology the displays that like behind us They'll give you a heads up. Hey, you're coming to headlin. It's time to turn Most these GPS guidance systems today. You do have to still turn the machine But once you turn and get a line back up you hit a button and it's it's taking off and doing the work for you But you can do things at night, you know We talk a lot a lot in the south about Conservation tillage or no till and trying to get biomass to generate some organic matter You know the ability to go out and plant that field accurately and even if I had the road markers You know how hard it'd be just to follow it You know and so you know when we talk about some of these Practices that we really want to promote in the south to improve our soil till or soil organic matter and Really have an impact on yields You don't have to worry about that today Really this this slide should say what do we use it for and it's it's like everything today Yes, you know you talked about having the navigation in your car You got navigation on your phone and in all these machines like I mentioned if you're buying a new machine It's it's pretty much standard On that machine you might have to purchase the GPS receiver. You might have to upgrade Your display, but it's it's already there and it's for the for the most part a fairly cheap investment to get that Working on your particular machine So we're going to come back to this But I think the real two things is most of our guys in Alabama have gone from the light bar system To where really I'm driving the machine And it's just telling you where you should drive based on feedback off the screen To more of what we call it automated guidance And and so the automated guidance is the machine will drive itself without you having the input continuous input Things into the computer per se but it drives itself. So those are the two different ones We still see a lot of light bars used in spraying and some of those type of field operations Pretty cheap way to get guidance and help you out and make sure that you're not overlapping or you know Where you have sprayed or applied chicken litter here in Alabama those type of things. It's it's a great asset. So So anyways when we think about benefits, it's it's all over the place But anyways, the big thing I talk about guidance systems today is you're reducing your overlap and in most cases Eliminating skips because how often mark would go out and if we got rose we can follow rose But if you're out in pasture or in conventional tilt filled and you're trying to get things done You got to go fill up coming back to that same spot and question yourself Where was I you can't really see some of the your ruts or your your tire tracks Guidance will bring you back to that and so there's allows you to maintain straight or parallel passes Very accurately. I don't have to use flags today Like I used to to mark plots or mark where I stopped and want to come back to that The operator, you know, we hear this oftentimes, you know, I'm planting, you know My planners, you know, I've doubled my planner size in last eight years from 12 to 24 What I I can focus on making sure that planners at peak performance all the time versus trying to focus on Driving the tractor pulling it. So really allows them to focus on the money aspect of what's going on out there in the field And another thing that that's really unique and I really appreciate about our Alabama farmers is trying to Innovate farm practices, you know strip cropping to try different things out that say what's going to work best for me It just this is an enabling technology to do things so much easier than we ever thought about today and And you know, we use it on our research farms as you know mark and in some cases, we don't even mark out plots anymore I mean you just all that's internal to the displays like you see Surrounded here this morning you can go out and pre-plan what you're going to do whether that's your rates or Trying to split up your plots you go out and it's just so much easier today and I don't have to get out with manpower and Figure all that out before hand and mark it off with flags and stuff We're just a lot of innovating things that you can use with this type of technology today John early in my career Pre-precision ag I'd get calls pretty regular as well come out What's wrong with my crop and if it's streaking there'd be a you know three rows or there'd be a streak through the field and It was meant fertilizer application or crop protection That that didn't get applied there absolutely or that got double applied and and killed a couple of rows What's wrong? Well if it's streaking through the field, that's an application here and Go from there and that's that's the nice thing about some of the screens here Whether it's the Raven or the new John Deere or the ag leader, you know, it builds or paints That coverage map for you on the screen and you know exactly where you've already been in the field And so you're not going back and I better go back and double-check or as you say We just skip in a part of the field and all of a sudden you got some weed pressure that you didn't expect And you're having to deal with and it just those that guess work is is really over when we talk about guiding systems So you young guys don't even remember a cockaburr But boy you'd see a streak of cockaburrs through the field and if you missed Your crop protection you didn't have soybeans or cotton. You had cockaburrs. It was just solid And and this this is really helpful and We need to keep moving in that direction So so we're talking, you know, how do these things work and we're just going through very simply how how these Guidance systems work. We call it you basically have to do a little bit of setup Okay within the display And one of the things that you have to say is what's going to be your swath with so if I'm out planting that might be You know 20 foot 30 foot 40 foot whatever size your planter is if you're doing fertilizer that might be 50 60 70 80 foot you you enter that in what's your pass-to-pass Or swath with And then essentially all these we've really condensed down to there's kind of two options either set an a B point as they call it or a b line which you need two points a start and an end Okay, or the other nice thing is is if you want to run at a particular angle So as an example if I've planted a field and all of a sudden I need to do some tillage due to compaction I want to run at a 45 or 30 degree angle. I can use to azimuths So I can set an a point and I can set an angle So a lot of cases as an example like down at the research farm We want to be parallel with the field boundary a lot of times. That's a road or some some Attribute out there. We'll set then go out and know what that angle that road's running or Driveway and we set that azimuth to be perpendicular or parallel or perpendicular for doing the ends to that and so a start point And an angle if you got two machines running in the field You get them both running at the same angle and let them meet up in the middle That's impressive So those are just kind of two two methods to a B line and then a point by azimuths Which is popular with some folks because they want to run at a particular angle defined angle out in the field So there's also this is just courtesy of tremble. There's a lot of different patterns that you can Select you can do headlamps. You can do, you know, if you got an obstacle You can run around, you know, drive around that obstacle and in the bottom left, you'll notice every subsequent Will take in a in an account that obstacle spraying operation would be an example I might not do that in planning because I want my rows to be straighter for when I come back with my harvester It would be straight. I've got pivots So either a pivot selection in a lot of these they'll call it or spiral and that can be done in a couple different ways You can just spiral in or out Or you can just maintain a specified width and just pick up turn around and keep going in a circle So a lot of opportunities to use different field patterns within these Guidance systems it really depends on your operation your field conditions and what's present out there But really gives you the capacity to do a lot of different things and really look at the efficiency And that's what we always encourage the people all of a sudden by that azimuth Function I can look at well. I've always planted this field based on this and some of these new Ag GIS systems can optimize what that AB line is And bring it to the field and all of a sudden I can improve my efficiency 10 15 17 18 percent that we found 18 percent savings in judicial fuel bill time Again coming back back and looking at acres per hour I mean those are the kinds of things that are going to help you be timely at the front end of the season during the season And ultimately set up and make sure your harvest is as efficient as possible. Hopefully So anyways guidance systems really on the front end We really encourage people to think about each field individual way every field presents a little bit different scenarios Where you enter the field what it's shape like and figuring out what kind of kind of Pattern where work best and there is a lot of times a way to optimize that out there We'll go through this mark. There's just basically we're going to break guidance systems into three primary categories light bar Okay, again the operator still driving it's kind of like your navigation in your vehicle Your driving is just giving you the line or where you where you're trying to go assisted steering Which is basically kind of the automated guidance type level But a little bit cheaper to get involved with and in the full auto guidance Which is really where most of our guys are headed and most machinery manufacturers are really it's all integrated in It's electronics over hydraulics in terms of steering. It's really smooth Typically one or two is something I'll probably purchase aftermarket or after I purchase the machine most likely But you can still work with your machinery manufacturer if you just want the light bar and assisted steering too so Light bars. These are just some examples pictures Again about every manufacturer has and these are fairly cheap starting. Oh, I think the cheapest one out there that we've seen recently It's about $1400 and you can spend About up to 3000 that would cover a majority of the what we call light bars. These are turnkey systems It's a display. There's a power cord typically And a remote antenna or gps receiver you stick out on On the top of the cab of the machine They're simple Usually three buttons turn it on and three buttons. You got that a b line established and you're and you're going and so And it's very easy to move. So if you're really worried, maybe this isn't for me But I can move it for my tractor to sprayer and back very easily And you can collect field data with this so coverage maps where I've applied what I've applied you can enter You have the capabilities to enter that information into capture and downloaded post after the field operation and use if you wanted to so Pretty robust today, okay Assisted steering these categories really To keep it simple as typically something that's going to occur in the cab I'm either replacing this steering wheel or something Attaches to the steering wheel and fairly much more cheaper type of Solution A lot of guys find this you'll find them on swathers for forage production Will be a quick way to get into the the guidance system But we do see some folks in alabama Farmers using them at their tractors John Deere tremble top con all have their own solutions Raven today ag leader everyone has what we would call assisted steering again It might be totally replacing your steering wheel Or something that attaches but gives you the capacity of the it drives the machine But it's all done internally to the cab The last thing is the pure auto steering technology or auto guidance what what I'll talk about Again, this is already integrated into most of the tractors out there It's it's electronics over hydraulics on your steering Actuation there's some sensors involved to figure out the steering angle of the front Or wherever your steering occurs Typically it'd be on the front of the tractor on the rear of a combine You want to know what angle that that those tires are at any moment? You have that as feedback You got a display in the cab normally it's going to be a much nicer display GPS on the cab, but it's purely a Top of the line You can use all any type of the corrections that we mentioned up to the rtk is as we covered in the gps gns receiver portion I'd say a high percentage of our farmers in alabama today are now using what we would call this auto steering option Is fully integrated into my combine my cotton harvester my tractor Potentially sprayer as well So all the machines have the capabilities like I said built into it You add the display functionality to it you add the gps on and you're fully Auto guidance today So one of the things I think again, let's just re-emphasize what we're talking about. There's two classes You got your rtk and you got the d gps or non rtk again There's different expectations that non gps can drift we talked about accuracy is going to drift and if you're really Interested and always going and accurately down that same road. You need that rtk. So just as a refresher gps transforms itself and it's really the Keep Sensor for guidance systems here that there's rtk. That's non drift centimeter level repeatable accuracy and the non rtk or d gps Where we're starting to use some different types of corrections that could drift on us a little bit when we're out there So just keep that in mind from a steering perspective On these guidance systems One thing that we always encourage folks here in alabama is this rolling terrain We know that we don't have flat land here You know and we can really get into some slopes in the southern part of the state So how do we deal with this as the as the vehicle pitches or rolls? Okay, and so basically what we have is what we call train compensation And so if we're on a this is an example of rolling if we if we did have an uncorrected Position we would be actually off but what the train compensation does is get that position corrected to the center of the machine So something to think about Just put a little Table together for everyone out here. This is just slightly dated probably a year and a half old So it might not be all up to date But you'll notice not every manufacturer has the same thing and accounts for roll pitch and yaw Which would be your angle of essentially steering And so there's typically a cost to this but most everyone is starting off from both roll pitch and yaw But not not on all these systems. So if you're in rolling terrain, you're buying a light bar I would be asking what kind of train compensation modules Do you have or do you have any for this light bar because it's going to throw you off Target or off Your a b line of where you really want to be Most of all the high-end auto guiding systems today as an example this star fire 3000 already has the train compensation Integrated into it as an example But if I looked at the the gps receiver over here that does not have train compensation Integrated into it. So again, you're going to use that solution. You might have to buy A second train compensation package to the account for especially the rolling pitch of that machine This is some examples you see on the the tremble stuff You'll see kind of a a cab mounted box that has the inertial sensors already into it So again looking at roll pitch and yaw in that case that's mounted to in At the floor of the cab if you look at the john deere and like a top consolation again It's already integrated into The receiver. So when you buy the receiver, you're not only getting the capabilities of the gps gnss It has the inertial or the train compensation already integrated in it So that's a just some some examples sometimes you have to mount something on the cabinet floor or in the floor of the cab Or some of them these these receivers already have it built into them So a very very important thing is we found out here in alabama because of the train conditions that most of our farmers deal with So the final thing and some final comments i'll make is If you're purchasing machines today, it's not so big, but if if you're if you're out looking at used farm equipment and You're interested or have already into the Guidance or precision egg make sure you're buying buying equipment that are labeled guidance ready That has the the steering valve already available It makes putting some of this guidance system on the tractor a very painless part of the install But if it's non guidance ready most of the times you're going to have to buy another three to four thousand dollars to buy a steering valve Um And you might have to buy a few other extra components that That you hadn't thought about just to add on the true auto guidance type If it's guidance ready It'll always have some of the potentially the steering angle sensor already on the tractor Plus the proper steering valve to make this stuff work So guidance ready whether you see green star ready or whatever on the side make sure You ask if you're really wanting to transfer or make older equipment work that is just guidance ready How do you see that john is it would it be? In the owner's manual or on the side of the tractor or around the steering wheel somewhere where How would you know that they're not just if you ask? I don't know if you've heard people will lie to you Particularly when they want your money How do you how do you know that this would be guidance ready? Most of them on the cab typically on the on the window will have some kind of indication that it's It's guidance ready each company use a little bit different terminology The safest thing to do mark is get the VIN number off of the machine Call the dealer or the local dealer and say can you give me the specs and make sure this is guidance ready Does it have the valve does it have? A lot of times you can look for the steering valve, but normally that's up underneath the cab and if you You know you're not quite sure but you can look and make sure that right steering valves there And if there's a sensor on the on the kingpin or the on the front You know you can see some of that pretty quick But if you're not looking you're not sure get the VIN number call Call your dealer and get get all the information you can and ask Well if you're looking at two different pieces of equipment and one was guidance ready and the other wasn't I mean just the cost to break it up you can afford To pay a good bit more money. Absolutely for a guidance ready tractor So we had we had that very instance last year someone bought a a little bit older tractor They thought it was guidance ready, but they had to basically spend about another Over four thousand dollars and that that's just to get it to the point where it was quote guidance ready That doesn't include the GPS and getting everything else installed and make that run So it's it can be a costly mistake if you're not watching out and that I think Most of our guys here in alabama are really starting to recognize the value of looking out for this guidance ready On any of the machines what what would be a year model? That they went from being rare to being the norm Well, that's a good question. I just kind of across the board. I would say Somewhere in the 2000s or Yes, that's across the board. Every company is a little bit different. So I don't want to don't hold me exactly to that But if you're kind of 2000s, yeah, look because it could be or it might not Yeah, and you'll get to some series where the the first Builds were not guidance ready and the the latter builds were guidance ready We've had a few issues or a couple situations that where You just can't say well this all this series is potentially guidance ready That's just some some things to look out for So So with that we'll go through some some just Consideration so if you're out there and you're you're jumping in, you know, again, do I want a light bar? Or do I want auto guidance? And so if I want auto guidance either can go with an assistive steering option where again it kind of mounts up in the cab on the steering or In that proximity to the drive the or a fully auto integrated auto steering solution A lot of rolling ground You want the auto guide auto guide would be my recommendation Because there's never how many times you've heard guys that bought light bars and say man I thought I could drive pretty pretty good But I just can't keep myself over and if you let the machine take and go to the full auto guidance level It just really takes all that out there Keep emphasizing accuracy in my out spraying and was will do me the trick Or am I out planting and doing some things where I would really need that centimeter level accuracy? And I need to go full fully rtk Where do I get that correction from because not all corrections potentially might be available in your area And then as we recommended in the gps Module we really recommended gnss. We want that guidance system work 24 7 365 When you're up against trees, which is common in here in alabama as you know We want that system to be able to make that first pass around the field or those last couple passes when you're starting to finish up Train compensation is a must. We really recommend it For any of the systems you can buy the train compensation as an add-on to a lot of the light bars But in most cases when we talked about the auto guidance, it's already integrated But just check to make sure because not all systems come with train compensation And so is it included or not just be asking at Right up front or you're just not going to get the performance that you're expecting capabilities to be on guidance We talked to right up front guidance day is is um Is um Basically air conditioning mark, but when I take this john deere display right here, you know, it's just not a guidance Product today, you know that might be where I start But it does rate control it can control my planter I could potentially buy a fertilizer applicator and run it through this particular Display so when I think about capabilities Don't think about just buying guidance today even on these light bars You take trembles like 750 light bar. It can do rate control It can do automatic section control or I can do go to some of these higher end displays that the companies like this one from john deere That's a 26 30 this can do all the technologies in one I can start with guidance and then I might have the capability to grow With the technology and add on things and so that's something to really think about application control Automatic section control, which we'll talk about in other modules But all those are built in it might cost me to unlock it But we're not buying guidance today We really want to get people over that hurdle that you're buying more than guidance So think about where you might want to be in five years or even two years in some cases to add on capabilities Is it upgradeable, you know, I take any of displays whether it's just Raven and busy or pro is john deere 26 30 Again going kind of like back to the gps receiver. There's always upgrades either a fix or something new that they've improved on And in making sure that That you can upgrade that okay and and so It has to be upgradeable And then finally can I document can I get those coverage maps whether I'm going to use them today or not But can I get that data from and in most cases all these guidance systems will give you coverage maps or as applied maps that you can That you can record and archive for the future Or if you're doing some work for someone give it to them to tell them what you did And probably the most important thing mark and you can Oil end on this is who's going to who are you going to call? And you know that local support and having a trusted source of well, that's a big deal really depends and Really influences your decision on what you're going to buy So somebody in doping might need a different product than somebody in Athens than somebody in Montgomery. Absolutely It's who's that trusted source and who are you going to call and keep you running when something does occur Whether that's an issue or you got something happening. She got some downtime So service is a critical aspect to these guidance systems and stuff So with that we've kind of gone through the full spectrum of guidance We've got some Lot of options here in Alabama as you know mark It's exciting what the capabilities of these can do today. You know, we're not just buying guidance today We're buying full suite of capabilities built into any of these type of displays It's just upon us to take it and really maximize the benefit for my farm operation John, I like that maximize the benefit. I mean all this costs money, but it's going to save a lot of money We're talking about 18 fuel savings. We talk about seed and all input savings This is critical and we hope that You know, we've helped you make some decisions. We we hope we can train you with this Take your test if you're if you're Want a certificate and we look forward to seeing you for our next module. Thank you


Welcome folks, we have the Dow Industrial trading down 74 and Nasdaq is up 45, S&P is up 10. Gold, Gold contract down $37.60, trading at $18.87 an ounce. We have Silver Arms down $1 at $22.18, they are whacking both of those big time. Notes and bonds, a 10-year note right now trading down 9 ticks at $128.17, a 30-year $14 at $155.30 an King Dollar, up $144 traits trading at $96.315, the Euros at $112, the Yen at $115.95, and the British pound is at $135-$1 at US Dollar. We take a look at the spy, what you have here folks, spies Nasdaq bottom line after the down draft. You got a rejection of lower price, you're going to have light of volume. Yesterday's spy come down with $104 million, you get $62 today, bottom line you're going to get a bounce out of this. We'll see if that bounce can get you to 477 and the spy last high is the 479. We look at the NDX100 and this is just holding on by a thread but the bottom line it did how hold on at the lower end of the consolidation. So the lower end of the consolidation, first time that we went down in December we got to the 378. The second time we get down we get to 377. Today, guess what, it stopped at 380 and bottom line you're gonna have slightly lighter volume. So that's saying that yes and go topside once again but I expect when we see when we go topside once again is that the volume is going to contract again. This is building cause for lower price. That's my take on this. That will get a bounce. It'll come back down to this lower end because you can see at the lower end of the NASDAQ in particular the volumes are huge at these lows and they're not at the highs. The first high in the NASDAQ had 64 million, the second high had 33. The first low had 105 million, the second one had 65 and this one probably is going to be a 65. But when you do the correlation from top to bottom we still have more nervousness and more sellers. Gold, gold contract they smoked this thing in the dollar hadn't even been up when they smoked it. So gold looks like it's going to be left at a swing point. Bottom line is that you're down 37 bucks you get 228,000 contracts traded. It hasn't hit the swing yet. The swing is 1781 the top of the swing the bottom of the swing is 1753 you know because you've come down you get an expansion of volume that says it's going to go after it. We take a look at the US dollar just the other correlation of this and the dollar you know bottom line rejected 96 today you're at 96,322. Stay right there folks coming right back to recap out here what you have we have the Dow industrials right now trading down 60 and has like up 52 S&Ps up 12 come right back. The reality


The following is a presentation of TFNN, the Tiger Technician Hour with your host, Hazel Chapman. Call now. Call free at 1-877-927-6648. Good morning, everyone. Hazel Chapman at this record. Dow high. QQQ is just an eye blink away and the S&P is getting closer. So let's just run this down to $55,000 to $37,144,000. Now under every other circumstance, you would expect that this huge extension from the last three, four days, some of that would be given back. What's really important about this particular phase of the market is that there is a catch-up going on in other areas. And that's really important. It's what I call a high-level consolidation where there's the breakdown from the leaders. A couple of leaders, for instance, Microsoft is now down five in this huge up-move, Microsoft suddenly stalled and it's down, and I wouldn't be surprised if some of the other magnificent seven are down. Why? Because money is being spread out, and that's really important. So let me go through this here very carefully. The Dow is extended, the on-balance volume now is extremely overbought. That's the one indicator. But the price is way above the nine, the nine-period moving average of the daily. The daily is way above the 14. You've got the MACD still very positive. That's the histogram is still strong, the distance between these two moving averages. And you've got the stochastic at 98%. Well the end result is that you can stay for quite a while, and I'm talking about many weeks in the 95 to higher area in the stochastic. But now you've got to start saying to yourself, hmm, what's the next thing? Well the history, I'll go through that, I'll do a little bit more tomorrow in the technical Friday. The history is that there are times where you can go from the extremely overbought level fairly quickly to an oversold, meaning under 20%, in fact under 10% in the single digits. So that's something we have to be aware of. We don't have to be aware of it right this moment because it's a process that takes place. And all the bad news that could be out there, maybe there's an accessibility of what's perceived as good news, it doesn't matter. My suspicion is that we're going to give back some of that maybe start today, we'll see where we close. And we'll go through that as the show moves on. S&P. The S&P right now is at 47.25, all-time high loss, I was 46.07, that's now key support. And the old high was 48.18 January of 2022, and this is now, oh I need to talk about that. The S&P is in leg C at an all-time high. You cannot get a peak B at the earliest until March. The S&P is in leg D. That D could fail under the 48.18 high of January of 2022. The technicals are suggesting that we're going to test that. If we take it out, this becomes the lead letter D, that B gets negated. And we had been talking about this for a year and a half, I mean talking about this ever since we were there at that Roman candle, I've still got it written in, Chapman Way Roman candle, red Roman candle, high at the all-time high. And that was the clue that if we took out half of the WEC within two sessions, you've got to be real careful. And if we close under it, you've got to be very careful. And there we are. So now this is a brand, you move to the upside. And the MACD in the monthly chart is very positive. The stochastic is not yet at 80%, there's still room to do that. But it is already D. So that means the Dow has been leading and the Dow is still leading. Let's go to the IWM. The IWM hasn't broken above the 199, 198 rectangle resistance that goes back over a year. So we're watching this very closely because they've made a new low. That means that it'll be a brand new leg A. As it is, it's a gray leg A in the monthly chart. It's a leg C in the weekly chart. So when people look at this and say, oh, now what do I do if I didn't get as bullishly as positive as I wanted to? Where do you go? Ha! We'll talk about that. Because the iShares, the Russell 2000 are finally finding that money that's coming out of those big caps is starting to come into the smaller caps. And that has to continue at least into next week. And that's the big test. How does it handle next week? A little bit overbought in leg F in the daily chart. We're going to be watching that. Stochastic is at 93%. That's really good. And actually increasing. So that's that. I wanted to do the QQQ. I was mentioning in the Tyger Financial News Network, 10 o'clock update, market update, that I'd drawn this in ages ago and then kind of just didn't follow it. It wasn't such a simple thing because that big D that we made back in July and we started to make lower highs and much lower lows when it turned around, it took a while for the technicals and then the stochastic went to 94%. And that's really good. So what it said was that the higher week of the 23rd of November of 2022 at 408.71 I initially used the fulcrum of October 14th, 2022, where we actually went along the down along the portion of that one. And now look at this. That was our right side. That took us to a peak D in that timeframe. That's called the plum line, cup formation. But I think that's impossible. We have to now move the plum line. I moved it to the right and that took us to last week where I said, if this actually works, I couldn't believe that it would work. It did work. It's a week late, but the price is it's a week late. And so far it's a few points late. But isn't that amazing? And that says if it breaks out, I have to consider that it could be a new continuation F or a brand new B. And that says if it's a B on the weekly chart, let's imagine all of next week it doesn't make a new high. That becomes a peak B. And then the next week it makes a new high. That's a late C. And the following week it makes a peak C that you should have to go to redeem. That kind of between the Dow and the QQQ, that takes us into mid to late January before you can get anything like a weekly. And that means every other week it makes a new high and then a lower high. That's kind of asking very much, but that's the way I would look at it. And now let's go to the estimators and boy, did they break out. As I mentioned, did beautifully, our leg D today, all time high at 173.49. Yeah, this is the this is the engine of the economy. Just like oil was the engine for the 1900s, the microchips. That's the engine of the 21st century until something changes. So they are leading the way in legs, see in the monthly chart. That means if all of January makes a peak C, you still have to go to leg D in February and then a peak D in March takes you to March at the latest before you actually make the peak. And remember, you don't you have to wait for a peak in leg D. Look at this leg D here. Look at this leg F in the in the daily chart of the Dow. Look at this. Look at how long it can go on forever. Look at that D now that D went on forever. So wait for it to decide. That's does a seven seven nineteen. I want you to get ready, Tigers.

Yeah, peak E now it's a down arrow in the five minute shot right there. And in the 10 minute chart, I'm very close to upgrading from a buy sell signal to a sell mode, but I'm not putting the down arrow yet. You've got to have patience to wait for that to show. Yeah. OK, so this is what I wanted to show you in the and this to me is really important. I expect that it's a little bit it's a little overbought. This is the XLF, but the financials because of yesterday's move because the Fed made it really clear that as they were seeing it right now, the conditions were such that they actually wasn't very much in the way of change or anything like that. But it kind of allowed the perception that the rates don't worry about the rates right now. We'll see if that actually unfolds over a period of time. But in the shorter term, it's really helped the XLF. So when people are looking at the one of the reasons why I want you to do the webinar coming up next week on Wednesday is that I felt very strongly that we were about to get oversold in some of the areas of the market and that we were getting ready for some kind of a rotation. And again, so if you sign up for that webinar, if you sign up now, for instance, people who signed up yesterday were fortunate out to get the update that I gave. I don't hardly ever give updates during the day. I see there's a chance that I'm going to do that. And I gave an update and that stock has done really well. The other one I was about to say add to we had added. We had gotten into it the other day and we just got stopped out. I had a very pretty tight stop on it, but it did it was it did everything I wanted to just pull back a fraction more and then it just exploded to the upside, which is doing now. And I didn't say I should have said get back in right away. But since that, since then, it's gone from three dollars and was it 48 cents to four dollars and 25 cents. So we were trying to get that to down a pullback. We'll see if it happens. But there are a lot of places to go because I think it's open up at least in the shorter term, going to this first part of the year, good positions that could work very nicely. Just think of it first as a shorter term and then it could extend out. So if you, you know, as soon as you sign up for the webinar, you start getting money used at it. Now, let's just look at this because do you remember yesterday? No, it was about four days ago saying the distance the distance between the KRE and the XLF in the monthly chart and the weekly chart says that the KRE, which is this S&P Regional Bank ETF, is lagging. But in some, in some aspects, the way the weekly chart has resistance and the way the XLF had resistance, if this could rally, it could hit and break the resistance of the rectangle, KRE could go right to the 200-period moving average in the weekly chart. Did I know that it would do that in three days? It's gone from basically the 48s to the 54. It's training 53-11, but 54-47 was the high. And there's a fraction above the 5409, 200-period moving average. First time it's been there since it really broke down back around about March when it was up in the 50s, high 50s and plummeted down to the 34 area. So this to me says we've got a rotation going on. And yes, there are places to go. There are some places of some areas are only just beginning the next phase of the move to the upside. That's the way I believe right now. We'll see what happens. OK, meantime, back at the ranch.  So this is a chapter we've instantly restarted. Really good example. We're at a peak D within three sessions. You go to a high high, have an alternate count, E-A, every I had a question that day. What is what a good excuse you have with an alternate count? No, no, it's the technique. The technique says everything's good. You you're riding the nine-period moving average above the 14. The Mac D is doing the same thing. Therefore, this becomes a G stash C. And if there's another break to the upside, you do get your instant restart that took you to a second leg D. And there it is. That's the benefit of English.   But if it's E-A, the one says, be really careful. The other says, are you kidding? And we pull back, you've got to buy. And then you use a shorter term time frame to say which one gets preference. So in this case, the TRE is overbought in almost any stretch of the imagination. Could be an evening start, a little inverted like a dragonfly can or at this particular point in a leg D. Let the chart play out. It just says great move to the upside. So I'm saying to you in the rotation that I'm looking at, even with insectives, you're getting buys and you're getting at least short themselves or or just be careful. Now, I wanted to do this really quickly. Gold. So gold is up and also at the high of the day up 62 at 2060. Now, look at this. The silver. And that was a chamber of Roman candle. Look how many days we went down. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven days hit the 200 period moving average and the Fed comes out. Huge candle yesterday. Another big candle today. And yet that monthly chart is saying it's in the early in the game because the 9 period moving average is still acting very well. But if it wasn't saved yesterday morning, I wouldn't have been a very pretty weekly candle. So it's a work in progress, but it is very good. Because if you look at the GDX, where I was going to silver, so silver is slightly different. And it just a really ugly move to the downside, broke all support levels. And then it got saved yesterday. Look at this. It had a lousy close even down the 23 level. And today it's a 24.49. Well, talking about saved at the right. And just a moment that it needed to find some support and it did. OK, so that said, question came in. Yeah, OK, so A2. Yeah, I understand exactly what you're talking about. And this is really important because that's a really good clue that you have by how you try to sell puts or calls, what's the give back? In other words, that's the kind of give back that you get is telling you whether you're right or wrong. Now, as I'm looking at it right now, Silver says, now I'm a work in progress. Now I want to go to high grade copies. That's so into the upside. Yeah, but it is. So it's sort of improved. It's off the Georgia period. Moving average, it needs a lot of work, a lot of work. But that's and that's part of the building process. But wait a minute, building process, HGX. Look at this. Whoops, HGX.x. That's the Philadelphia housing. So don't mess up. What did you just do? Dollar, HGX. There it is. Look at that move at all time. These you're my same for weeks. Something is wrong with the scenario. Interest rates are supposed to be screaming to the upside. And yet you've got the Philadelphia Philadelphia housing index breaking to all time highs. Builders, you know, I use this as kind of a benchmark. Builders, that is builders first source in building materials, made of peak C and then pull back shop. I said, there's no other way I can count this. This is a scene of the Chapel Wave C's go to D's. And look at this. The end of monthly. This is a brand new A in the week here. While calling it an F slash B, A or B. And this is a G slash C. There's your instant restart. Oh, it's December, Tigers.

Let me do this. Builders, as I say, build first source, that was great. So I am just a GDX, a GDX, big spike, give them back some of it today, a little bit higher than the previous time. I'm going to be a little cautious about this, even though I think it's outstanding action. I'm calling it an F slash A and this is what happens. You have to be, yeah, you have to be aware that after a pullback like this, you can call this a brand new A, but there's a work in progress. And the work in progress says, the back D has to turn up and it hasn't crossed positive. The CACAC is only at 34%. What's fabulous is that the nine-period moving was so close to turning down and yet it crossed back up and it stayed green. To me, that's really important. And the high that was made the last time was 3193. And today's high, 3193, so far it's a double top. It hasn't made a leg C in the week yet. I think it will. So I'm just being a little cautious. I'm calling this F slash A. What do you do with the GDX? Well, in two sessions, it's come back from 12345678. There were seven sessions to the downside. That's really positive. Where it closes is going to be very important. Another question came in, and that question was, if I can just find it. Could I look at LTHM? LTHM, that's Lithium, something. Oh, I used to have this. It's nitrated. That's not. This is Liverest core. Oh, is this Liverest core? Oh, wait. Isn't this Lithium something? Oh, anyway, it symbol is LTHM. I don't need to know what it is. It kind of would help a little bit. But look at this. So the question is, right here, LTHM, would you start a position rounded bottom? Yes, certainly a rounded bottom. So this is A. Remember now, a restart in the chapter of methodology. I need to start reviewing these again for people. We haven't talked about restarts for a long time. This is A, but this is just starting point right here. So it's a lot of work if I'm actually talking it out. But you saw how quickly I do it. Once you get into it, it just doesn't take more than a second. That's your lowest load at 12.76. It goes to leg A, pulls back, holds at 12.76. And the next thing you know is, I just need to do something here. Yeah. And the next thing you know is that it makes another A. But that A is lower than the previous one. If it was a higher, it would be B. So that's an A. And then it makes another one over here. And then all three of them see the price going way up and it starts to be. That's usually very positive. That's called a restart. The more A's you get without taking out the left side, we're going to watch in Crude or eventually we're going to be watching natural gas. Maybe it does the same sort of thing. The stronger the move to the upside. There's your B. And as you see, I like it. And it's only a leg. Remember this, the low bar in the chub-wave cannot be the start of your lettering, because that is still on the way down this one in the weekly chart. So it's the very next bar, it's not the week of the 17th of November at 12.76. It is the low of 13.38, the following week, this is, ah, now you can start a wave count if you don't take out that low. So this month, sorry, this week is leg A. And even if I just grab it from here, look A, B, and it resorts and it goes A, B, C, D. And only when it takes out that form of B, it goes to this one, which is the primary notation E, and then it pulls back. Yeah, so this is good. So I was, yeah, where would you, I'd start a position right here. I know that you're looking out and you start to see reparation. The weekly chart is stochastic, it's good. Everything's good, unbalanced volume has a lot to go to the upside. It's rallying, but it's not great. And the weekly chart has made the V shape low. I would do that. I'd have a little bit of patience, 16.69. And what I would do is I'd try to add to it if it holds above 16.02 and it only pulls back to 16 to 16.78, 16 and say 42 or 16.38. And then it starts to move back into the body of this candle. That's where I probably would add another little position, start a position. Yes. OK, let's see. Did anybody tell me what it is? I'm just going to take one second. Let me just do this right now. Oh, there. OK, and it's called L, L, T, H, M, does what? The vents. Oh, that's what it is. I couldn't see what it says. The vent corporation is major estimated value of a common equity. What does it do? What does it do? The vent is, yeah, lithium technology company that powers lives from the. Revolution in electric vehicle batteries. OK, yeah, this is a nice, a nice one, but I wouldn't get too carried away. That battery, the whole thing, I've been looking at some of those battery stocks and they can really have, they can move quickly to the upside, but they also can move quickly to the downside. So gradually build a position. That's what I'm looking at. Next question came in. Could I look at PayPal? I believe it was PYPL. Yeah, so PayPal spikes, PayPal holdings, electronic payments, and look what it's got. It's gone to a soaring leg E in the daily chart. Yeah. Wow. This is one that was up in the 300, 305 or something like that. Tumbles down to 50. I would call that a bit of a retracement. So this is leg B in the monthly or horrible, horrible leg A. In the monthly chart weekly is leg B and the daily is just spiked to an E. You know, all of these are saying we're getting a little overbought. Now you've got to be a little careful if you're getting to something that's making new recovery highs, if you're looking into something that's had a really good move. And if you're looking to something that's getting to recovery highs, make sure that it's an area that's just become in demand. That's really important. So this is kind of not quite in demand yet, but I think it will be. So I'm not sure what you're doing with it. And you just want to analysis of it. What I would say is there's a chance from the can today of a high of 6430. Remember, it was at about 51 just two months ago. What we're looking at here is that this is a spike underneath the Georgia pre moving average of 6570. If you're in it, I'd say good, stay in it. If you're looking to get in it, I'd say I'm binding here says you kind of vulnerable for more than two or three points. It couldn't go all the way down to the 59 58 level if this particular area starts to falter. So that to says to me. If you're in it, what I would do is if you want to add is this body of trading right here between 59. Yeah, I'd say 59 40 and 58 60. That's that's we're going to regain there. That's where I probably would say to you. It's kind of the better place to risk reward. That's where I kind of want you to go in. But at this particular point, buying a car is kind of risky if you want to just nibble because you want to get a feel for it, that's different. But actually entering I'd wait just another couple of days. I'll be back. That was a 24 as the visa for 11. The dollar bonds, the South African RAND, as well as 25 different mining equities with specific buy sell recommendations. The gold report.

This program is brought to you by Vista Gold, traded on the NYSE American and TSX under the symbol VGZ. So cognizant, CTSH, like Professor, that you're processing business processing. And the question is, how about that? Well, how about it? It's beautiful chart A, B, C, it's in leg D.  And it made a peak C in the monthly chart and then made a huge decline from the 90s down to the 50s. And now it's at 74. Everything's steady. That 200 feet moving average is like a magnet. It keeps getting up and down below it, which is at 68. And it's trading at 74 right now. Now I could call this F slash B just because of the way it's moving. I'm kind of inclined to call this a B right now in the monthly chart. So, yes, I like it very much. I suspect that over the next week and a half, there's a chance that it could test 74 right now, could test the low 70s. But at that particular point, how does the casket at 88 percent holes is very good. But I'm looking out and I think that it's making higher highs and higher lows. And that's really the trajectory that you want to be looking at. That's important. Oh, folks, don't forget, you've got Tim. I don't have to tell you to forget because most of you know about Tim or his webinar this afternoon. So for my webinar, I'm looking at sectors, sectors that are just starting to move right now. That's why I'm saying it's not a bad idea. If you are interested in doing it, sign up now. It's a trial.  But you also get a month in which you can decide not to take it. And you're already starting. So by the time I get to the webinar in less than a week, Wednesday night, I think we might already have had a couple of buys in different sectors that we are looking at. And in one case, it's a sector that I haven't been in for ages. And we're back in it. And it's really important. So with that said, a couple of things I want to do here. I want to do from the questions I had when I wrote you down. Yeah, could I do a quick review of those some of the magnificent apple? So Apple, very nice move up. That's not an alternative count, because after a G, you never get an H. So that has to be considered. An instant restart that made a low. So I could think of it as a chance of a chapter wave, unconventional, freight-based restart. But I'm just going to be as kind of strict as possible. A. B. So that was and there was a nine period moving average that never went even close to going negative. So this is still a very strong move up. So I suspect that Apple's still going to over the rest of going to next week. So they're going to make higher highs. 198.23 was the high, all time high of the week of the 8th of August of this year. Today's high is 199.62. It's taken it out and the monthly charge so far.  I just don't see it. The stochastic said 94 percent of the weekly unbalanced volumes are a little overboard, and this is now a leg B. I believe I'm going to call it a B in one monthly. Could be an E, but that doesn't make sense at all. This is a brand new B. That says Apple couldn't make a peak D until early in the first quarter. All right, so here we go. Apple, Amazon, Amazon is trading. Where did I type it on the chart? I did, by mistake. Amazon, here we go. Oh, PLTR. Yep, we'll get there in a moment. Let me just finish this up. So we're looking at Amazon right here. Amazon is trading new recovery high. All time high is 188. Low is 800 points down. It's a leg C monthly. And this is now going to be a leg B in the weekly. So the red leg B in the weekly all time. Dady is in.  That's what I'm calling it for now. So, yeah, this is looking very good. So you want to Palantir PLTR. Is that come off the lows? Oh, don't type on the chart. PLTR, PLTR, PLTR. Yeah, this is tough. There's something that's gone wrong with the stock. Palantir Technologies, diverse data fusion platforms, had a round number high, 45 back in January of 2021. Plumice to $5 and 27 cents. And I think it was January of 2023 this year. And then it starts to move up and then it uses 200-period moving average as really it's like a floating balloon. It hasn't touched that line yet. And yet it goes to another peak ABCD, a very quick one in the weekly chart pulls back. This has got a problem, that huge gap. It says that with a huge gap, it's skyrocketed from the 17 area up to the 21s. And then it's, look, time price has given everything back, has gone underneath the gap high bar. But it's not full the gap very much. It's really struggling. This is what it needs to do. I don't know what it can do. I'm just saying what it needs to do. With, you see these bars here, peak A, peak B, and I have got the MACDs week, Sycastics week, Unbalances week, 9 is under the 14. It needs to establish a green nine-period exponential moving average. And the only way it's going to do that is to trade above 1880 into the low 19s, make a U-shaped turn, and show that the 14-period moving average in the weekly chart at 1750 or so is kind of the support. It's like walking the 14 and using the nine as a springboard. The nine is still very good. So all I can say is that it's not breaking down, but under these conditions, with this kind of market explosion to the upside, it's not in the category that's performing right now. So it has a problem. Not the sector necessarily, but it. So Palantir trading down nine since today, 1777. If it closes under the low that was made right here, little double bottom low, at 1705 and 1708, that, those two lows on the 6th of December and the 7th, if it actually closes under that, that just says, be careful, it could fill quite a chunk of that gap. 16 has to hold the support. So it's a work that should have been, it was cutting edge at one point, everyone was looking at Palantir, then it just faded and now it's fading again. So the price, arbitrary price is the price movement itself. And the price says, I'm struggling, I've made it inverted, inverted Chapman wave Roman candle today, when in fact I should be making a green one to the upside. So yeah, this is struggling. Those are the parameters to watch. Like a next question came in here and let me see, could I show, could I show the five minute again? So you see the five minute, look at them together. Look at the way the one minute made at PG at the doji candle up there at about 947. And then it's pulled back. It hasn't broken down, but you're making lower lows and lower highs in the day in the one minute chart, lower lows, lower highs in the five minute chart and the same thing in the 10 minute chart. But look at the way the width of this MACD is opening up. The nine-speed moving average is still very weak. And yet the price is not making lower lows in the five minute chart over the last three bars. And that's just saying, there's a kind of a platform here. And if that platform, I call it 4,779, that platform of 4,779 hot go, 4,760 80s, the Georgia Creative Expansion opening average for 4,000 a week in the five minute chart. But it's trying its best, buying keeps coming in. It looks like the pink wants to turn green, I'll be back. Get ready, Tigers.

So you remember what I was saying just a moment ago? You can see that it's trying to form a pattern around, go from pink to green again. This is the E-mini, this is the March contract. So look at the daily, the daily made and dreaded H pattern, further to PC, retested, but the technicals were starting to improve and now it's gone peak A, peak B, peak C and it's just started D. Remember the objective of the Chubb-Wavers to get you to a D and then other things can happen? The easy part is to get to D and then you have to figure out is it restart what exactly happens? And look at this, it's trying its best to go green again. This, the buyer's coming in. It's just, I mean, it was so quick yesterday. The whole move, November into December, it's just been a straight up move, rocket ship. So talking about rocket ship, Max Linneas, I think what was Tony in the dance is, check out MXL under the radar, semi-company, do you for a turnaround? Wow, do you for a turnaround? Look at that gap. Now I love when I see gaps filled, but it's not just filling the gap, it's filling the gap, moving above it and then not going back at all to the gap for quite a number of bars. This is good. That says whatever the gap was, maybe it was news, forget about it, it's not relevant anymore. So MXL training at 20 or 62 up at dollar 11. This is a perfect example. I'll do that tomorrow. I'll make a note of it. MXL is some restart, restart, right. But it's doing so well, the weekly chart is now improving. Is this gonna be like that five minute chart where the pink turns green? I think it's a good progress. I think it's been very nicely. So, some more software, don't forget. Check out my former data center. I do my webinar coming up, sectors that you wanna be looking at, stocks that have been lagging. What's in store for that first part of that?
