Welcome back to my channel. I hope you're well. Today we're going to be chatting about my best books of 2020 That's quite dramatic. I am so excited to chat about these I've read so many good books in 2020 and I'm just so excited to chat about them all in one place Before we get into it make sure you subscribe and ring the bell if you haven't already because that would really help me out I read a total of 25 five star books this year Wanted to have a top 10 like this really should be a top 10, but I couldn't limit myself and so it's 11 I wouldn't like to defend myself, but sadly that's the truth I hope you can all forgive me one extra book. I just felt bad not including that book It was weighing heavy on my consciousness Conscience conscience not consciousness. I think she looks very good in this.  These are in no particular order. I'm not ranking them in this video I'm gonna be doing a book awards at the end of the year in my last video I think we'll be going up on New Year's Eve where I will give my favorite book of the year I haven't decided it yet like I can't choose. It's gonna be really hard like other years I've had like a clear cut top two. I don't like it's anyone's game So if you have any arguments as to why one of these books should be my favorite year Feel free to tell me because I'm open to suggestions So first one of the earliest books I read this year And it is Gemina by Amy Coffman and Jay Kristoff. This book and the next book I'm gonna have to talk about it was hard to not just have all of this series and all of the other series in this top 10 Like Illuminae and Obsidio, which are books one and three of this series could have easily been here And Illuminae was until the very last minute, but Gemina is my favorite in the Illuminae files series This is a series told completely in mixed media format. So you have web pages You have chat logs your surveillance camera footage and it is a sci-fi about this kind of wall that's happening between corporations That's a very uninteresting way of telling you about it. Don't get bitter. Just get better. It's not really about the war It's more about like the people affected and in each of the books We follow some different teenagers who are affected by this in some way and what's going on in their ship We have some like biological warfare We have the AI in this is a very big part of the series in this we're following a girl Who is the daughter of a captain on this particular ship and a kind of like bad boy. I Loved this one. This was my favorite in the series. I think I just really liked the Characters in this one. My favorite character in the whole series is in this one Ella who is the cousin of Nick Who's the I really just love the tone of voice in this and the humor it's like a very Sarcastic tone and it's just a really imaginative way of storytelling like you will be turning the page so quick because it's just all these chat logs and Diagrams and drawings. It's just so brilliant. I think if you're looking for like maybe an introduction to sci-fi This was kind of one of my first sci-fi books and I really like sci-fi like this now that's like a set of files That's my preferred medium to consume it in. It's so high stakes Like you will feel so tense up reading this like your heart will be pounding. It will feel sick I felt so sick already some of this too much drama for me And you'll just constantly be turning the page So I really really recommend reading a series Gemina the second one is my favorite that Illuminae is really really good too So another one my favorite books of the year is Heartstopper by Alice Oseman. I've chosen volume one Just because I feel like it's the most sentimental to me like it was the first in a series So it's where I first fell in love with these characters. It's also the first graphic novel I ever read So it got me into reading graphic novels.  So this is about Nick and Charlie He fills my heart with warmth Who are these boys who go to this grammar school in the UK and they basically fall in love This one in particular is the story of them starting to fall for each other And so I think that part of a relationship is so fun to read about like when you just start And it reminded me a lot of my relationship because I fell in love at a boys grammar school Girls were allowed in in the sixth form And so it just reminded me a lot of my relationship in that way And like how awkward it is and how you're not sure if the other person likes you But Nick and Charlie are just like the softest cinnamon rolls in existence The facial expressions in this like will make you cry like you'll cry it like I love them so much The whole graphic novel series is incredible. I cannot wait to read more in this series The next one coming out next year. I'm literally gonna read it straight away like literally straight away A classic? Classic. Not debatable. Not afraid to beat If you're looking for a graphic novel or maybe your first ever graphic novel Please pick this up. I know it just came out in the US and it's got like blue pages Like all of these illustrations have blue tones to them which I'm like I'm fuming I'm fuming that we don't have that But if you're looking for a first graphic novel pick this up because it is just amazing And it was my first one. So I love them. They're just so soft Let's talk about some thrillers next. Are we surprised? Are we surprised? Nothing new. Nothing changed.  The guest list by Lucy Foley is definitely up There is one of my favorite books this year. This is a book. I have not shot up about I do have two copies. I have the UK one and then this is the book of the month one I want to reread it soon rereading this copy Basically, this is about a murder that occurs on this remote island at a wedding Of these really kind of rich people and you don't know who's been murdered for a large chunk of this It's close setting isolated. You know someone on the island has murdered that person Everyone has these secrets that keep getting uncovered very slowly. Everyone has a motive That's suspicious That's weird It's just like such a brilliant who done it. I love who done it mysteries Like I love that classic Agatha Christie and if you love that as well, this is it I think the tension was amazing. The characters are really interesting Something Lucy Foley always does really well is write horrible rich people She just knows how to write those people who are so rich and privileged That normalcy just like escapes them like they just don't know what is normal for people Pretty much none of these characters are likable apart from I would say one And they're kind of your eyes and ears into what's going on. It was just the perfect murder mystery thriller Like it just has everything I'm so happy that this book has kind of exploded the way it did this year Because I remember kind of just read it on a whim right when it came out I went to an author signing for it and I was like, okay I haven't had anyone speak about this but I'll read it and then it just kind of blew up this year And I'm so happy for it. It literally is simple but effective Characters you'll hate. I really love characters that I hate Like I I love going to a book and not liking any of the characters It's campy It's so much fun and the tension is just built so well with us flashing back and forth between the night before the murder And in the night of the wedding of the murder and just the way That who did it and all these different secrets and motives are revealed and stacked up Is in my opinion masterfully done so Loved it and then another favorite of the year it's on my favorite shelf really as you can tell is No Exit by Taylor Adams I think this is quite underrated. I've heard a few people speak about it But I think definitely more could read it. So this is about Darby She's driving home and she has to pull over into this station like this waiting station because it's snowing She basically gets stuck there and there's a few other people there And she goes out to the parking lot and she realizes that one of the cars there has a girl locked in the back And it's the story of basically it's not a who done it like you find out Pretty quickly who the villain is and then the rest is just Darby trying to survive the night with this girl So she can rescue her. I have never I've never been so tense when reading a book. How many people are scared? Me too. I was really really scared I felt sick. I had heart palpitations. I've never felt so on edge Oh, it was horrible. Like I had to just race through it to find out what happened I think the timing of this is so well done like the pacing. It's amazing Like you'll just fly through it.   It is amazing So I'd really recommend picking this up and in the last book that's kind of categorized as a thriller But it's kind of a mystery Suspense just weird book is Catherine house by Elizabeth Thomas. Are you surprises on here? This is a book that not many people like I just respectfully disagree or maybe not so respectfully I don't I don't know there's nothing wrong with my views or beliefs because I have freedom of speech and everything I'm saying is true You go into Catherine house knowing that you are not going to be able to leave for three years Like you are stuck there for three years. It's a very prestigious school and Ines goes there And it's the story of her being there for three years and like this is a cult basically When I'd got in there, I realized that actually This is serious Stuffed and when I got there, I just felt Haha, this is not for me.  It was so claustrophobic. You felt so trapped I think it's one of those things that makes you feel like you're going a bit bonkers while you're reading it And Ines is a really interesting character because for a lot of the books She's not really interested in finding out what's going on.  I pretend I do not see it.  So this is basically a collection of essays by Roxane Gay About feminism and race and class and there were just so many parts that I highlighted I saw this before and I'll say it again. My favorite essay in this was the one about scrabble and her love for scrabble I was just it's so much fun to read about. I don't know why number one. Please judge me. Number two Please hate me because number three. I love it It also has a lot of really interesting takes on a lot of things in pop culture a lot of really popular movies books TV shows stuff like that it taught me a lot about that and I really enjoy Reading personal essays with a personal touch when it comes to topics like gender race sexuality class I think sometimes those kind of books that are very statistical based can feel kind of cold And I think reading from a black woman about her experiences is much more powerful and effective and also Educational I think we learned so much more from personal experiences. So I love this I'm ashamed they took me this long to get around to it. I can't wait to read everything the Roxane Gay Puts out in the future I'm gonna make my way through all of her stuff because this was just incredible the one top book I don't have to hold up is the strange case of the alchemist daughter by Theodora goss You'll know if you watch my vlogs how much I love this book in this series No, I don't think you understand I'm up I cannot wait to read the last one. So in this we follow Mary Jekyll as she meets her sister Diana Hyde And eventually meets Catherine Morrow, Beatrice Rappuccini and Justine Frankenstein who are all girls Who have some link or their fathers are men from a classic gothic victorian literature It's them trying to figure out what the I love saying this The men in their life belonged to this society and the society's a bit dodgy Like there's some dodgy shit going on it's them trying to figure out what is going on and it's amazing Like it's so good these girls these girls These girls I would die for them You know how I feel about you if there was any hope that I could actually be or It's when I aspire to You know, you're the one they are some of the best characters I've ever read Diana Hyde is so so funny This book is written as if the girls are writing it particularly Catherine The other girls will break the fourth wall and cut in and speak about what she said if they're not happy with what she's said It adds so much to the characters. I think it's really interesting that we don't meet Catherine in this first book until towards the end But we know she's the one writing it and so so much of her characterization We learn just to how she's writing a book. I think it's such an interesting character device For the book to be an embodiment of that character in a way in very subtle ways I think this is just the perfect kind of girl gang book. They're just All so well-rounded fleshed out interesting characters. It's fun It's got Sherlock on Watson helping the girls out solving mysteries together and I just loved it So I cannot wait to finish this series next year. Next is the poppy wall by i f quang This is about Rin as she joins this military academy Starts to find her power attending this academy and learning military tactics And suddenly becoming more and more powerful throughout this book This book is the perfect exemplification of not knowing what is right and what is wrong Rin is a very morally gray character, particularly by the end of this book Oh It's based on a lot of real history There are some horrific things that happen in this book that you need to be aware of going into it There's trigger warnings for murder genocide rape almost everything horrible There are trigger warnings for going into this. It is amazingly written I can't believe how young i f quang was when she wrote this the fantasy and this is so vivid Rin is one of the best characters I've ever read like Rin is such an interesting character With so many different aspects to her. I cannot wait to read dragon republic and the burning god, but I'm very scared My dad's reading the burning god right now He has read the dragon republic and he keeps telling me just how sad and worried he is and how he can only read it Like 10 pages at a time So I am terrified, but I am I love Rin Even though she's a bit crazy, but it's so good military war Battle if you like that kind of thing the puppy war is for you next favorite is the night circus by erin morgenson aren't we just obsessed with this edition like I cried it whenever I look at it. She's huge, but she's so beautiful The starless sea by erin morgenson was my second favorite book last year And this definitely didn't disappoint when it came to Carrying on erin morgenson is one of my favorite authors erin morgenson's books Like impossible to explain I can't I can't I've tried it and I failed But in this a circus arrives without warning And it is about a circus that springs up and goes away in the middle of the night And it's magical and whimsical and it's a story of these two individuals Who are battling against each other in this unknown battle that they don't really know is happening And it's been set up without their consent But their lives revolve around this battle and it's a story of how the circus moves around them It's impossible to describe erin morgenson's writing. It does something to me. It kills me erin morgenson's writing Is the best like objectively the best it is beautiful and whimsical and magical And just full of fairy dust like it's the most beautiful writing I'd ever read I think in terms of lyricalness and beauty and poetry and prose erin morgenson's my favorite writer Like it's absolutely amazing if you're a plot heavy kind of gal this this may not be for you Like it just may not not a lot happens. Is there even a plot debatable? I haven't got the slightest idea Some people find it boring, but I didn't I just thought it was so beautiful and magical And I feel like I'm constantly chasing trying to find this kind of book again I want to reread both this and the starless sea I we I will reread the starless sea first, but it's just like when like when am I gonna feel ready to do that? I don't know read and morgenson Please okay, this book is one that almost didn't make it on the list But I had to mention it and that is middle game by shawen maguire This is about twins roger and dodger who have been created by this alchemist to help him ascend to godhood And one of them is really skilled in language and one of them is really skilled in numbers And it's a story of them coming together and coming apart throughout their lives It's almost impossible again to describe. I can't do it. You can You can do it. You can You can I seem to like folks that are really difficult to describe that don't have a clear cut plot It is written in such a cool way. This is so imaginative So well written like it just pushes the boat out like it It pushes the bar of what a book can be and should be like it's so imaginative and out there It's really smart. I love smart clever Creative books and that's what this is what I loved about this book was always feeling like you were a step behind I don't know if I'm just like dumb But I constantly felt like I was always just a step behind the book Like always just missing a little bit of something because of how clever these these twins are It was so good. And then the last on my favorite list is actually a contemporary I don't give like young adult contemporaries like my favorite that often but one this year Really was outstanding to me and that is with the fire on high by lisbeth atavado So this is the story of amoni as she is a young teen single mom to her daughter And she just loves to cook like she just wants to cook. She loves to cook this class That's at school for cooking But it is difficult for someone in her position to fully invest in it and it's just the story of family That's something that lisbeth atavado does so well is family and loving your family But also the difficulties of family and her figuring herself out as this person who has all these kind of difficulties and Aspects to her life that a lot of other people don't have to deal with and trying to be a good mom to her daughter And it was just so beautiful Lisbeth atavado's other two books are in prose so they're like poetry But this is told like in a more traditional format And I really loved that because you had all the lyricalness and all the beautiful prose of atavado's writing But you had longer with the characters because her other two books because they are in prose. They're very quick They're kind of short. I had longer with the character and I felt like I really got to know her and love her And I just think this is like generally the best young adult contemporary I've ever read. It's beautiful It's hard hitting but soft and kind and light and fluffy all at the same time If you're going to read any young adult backlist contemporary next year Generally read this because it's just perfection. So there we have it. That is my 11 favorite books of the year 2020 Let me know if you've read any of these. Let me know if you loved any of these I had a pretty good reading year this year And it's going to be really hard at the end of the year for me to pick my favorite out of all of these I've got a few that are like up there. I think it's maybe between two three Three that I can choose between. I'm not going to tell you them yet But thank you so much just I'm going to be saying this loads throughout the end of the year But thank you so much for all your support on my channel this year It has gone crazy like beyond what I ever could have imagined So thank you so much for all of your support Let me know what your favorite books of the year so far were So that I can have a little eye out for any that I should be picking up early next year And thank you so much for watching. I will see you very very soon. Bye


breakdown of what they said? So the breakdown of what they said was that basically that GDP cross 2, F1 Durbin is cherry pie. I think that's right. Yes, right? And then F1 Durbin cross 2, the fluoride OG is what they called cookies. Now they were asked to clarify what F1 Durbin was. Is it F1 cross 2 Durbin? Is it whatever? And it was basically not in your bag. Not in your bag was the answer. So that's where we're at. So basically it was supposed to be the GDP and F1 Durbin making cherry pie. What's your thoughts on that? That is not what I know of. Okay.


This paper proposes a new denoising method for pipeline leakage fault alarm and leak location based on variational mode decomposition, VMD. The method first screens out the intrinsic mode functions using the correlation coefficient. Then, it optimizes the VMD decomposition layers K using information entropy. Finally, the denoised signal is used to extract the inflection point of the negative pressure wave, which is then used to calculate the position of the leakage point. Experiments were conducted both in the lab and in real pipelines, demonstrating that the proposed method achieves higher accuracy than other methods.

It's funny because I think it's good for those hosts to realize you're like hey man This guy is from another country and just because he's popular in America doesn't mean he cares about American culture Jackie Chan has no idea who the Kardashians are and the entire internet is praising him for who who is Kardashian? I think movie star somebody tell me what do they do? Yes movie stars Jackie Let's run the clip. So before we went out. We said Nellie said we're gonna have you name your favorite Kardashian. Who do you like? Kardashian Kardashian Don't he's not keeping up with them. So we're gonna go. They know who you are. That's for sure As you can see this is from morning daytime television I believe he was promoting the foreigner at this time and this is going viral again on various platforms I don't know if it's because rush hour four is going in a pre-pro and it got green lit. I know why what is the reason?  Then the Western consciousness is a part of his consciousness and that's very rare because usually we got it like because the Western world is more Dominant we got a more adapted them than they're adapting to us. I think that that's why everybody's shocked. They're like Jackie you were a part of my child is the greatest stuntman. You don't know about the things that I know about Jackie Chan does not cater to you. All right guys We're gonna delve into the comments section and break down more about why Jackie Chan doesn't need to know anything else Other than what he knows so please hit that like button check out other episodes of the hop-hop boys Yeah, and by the way guys, we are fully aware that Jackie Chan's image has become controversial It's been like roller coaster over the last five years on the internet. However, this is not about that This is gonna be about more I guess like how he's become this like confident guy in the West that a lot of people are looking to at least for this moment I mean overall especially like people just love him and his interviews are so endearing their earnest They're funny. He's a little bit oblivious, but people understand it. They get it His English hasn't really improved in 30 years. It's really funny Andrew We actually met Jackie Chan one time. I he was nice to us I got to shake his hand once and his hands were so thick and strong like I think we're like mits They could grip on anything man. Like and his hands weren't that they were like definitely bigger than mine But they were actually just really muskier. Yeah Andrew he's been a superstar in the East Let's just say for 40 years and he's been a superstar in the West like gradually from like mini star to superstar for about 30 years And like you said he's given so many interviews What do you think it is like he's like the most beloved guy because I think he's powerful and you know that He could beat you up or beat up any most regular people his size But he seems very humble too and in his movies. He takes a lot of hits. He's not like this invincible alpha male Yeah, I mean I think he's one of those global stars and he's accomplished something that nobody else will Literally that amount of stunts that amount of movies that amount of he's literally gonna be one of the greatest entertainers in global history to be honest He is he's up there So I think that he's super confident in himself and I do think it kind of sends a message to a lot of maybe particularly Asian guys or Nerdy guys as well who have mastered something and it just goes to show you once you master something that everybody respects You don't have to cater to other people. You don't have to be apologetic, right? You don't have to go be like, oh man I'm going on sway. I better like look up like the top 20 rappers at this moment No, that's like what I would do if I was going on some show like I would look up stuff and be like Oh, I don't want to sound like I don't know anything. But Jackie says like what you you speaking English 50 cents Jackie's like, yeah, I don't know anything. But so what look at me.  Oh, where does this food food come from?  Yeah, I would feel that pressure to anyway Let's get into the comments section Andrew Somebody said my favorite part is when he asked if it's in English and all the host says yes It is but it actually the Kardashian name is an Armenian name has nothing to do with England at all Yeah, so that is actually funny that when he said it's that English actually the truth is it's it's not really English And does it go to show you that like Americans have accepted the Kardashians as almost like baseline default American culture or something like that Like I kind of made me mad when she's like, yeah, it's English Jackie. Well, no, it's not you can't find anybody It's like one of the ladies did slip in. Yeah, it's Armenian But you know anyways somebody said Jackie definitely has some samurai in him a warrior Jackie Chad this dude is a legend It must be protected at all costs I don't think there is any physical overlap between people who watch the Kardashians and people who seriously watch Jackie Chan And somebody just said no people from Hong Kong. We really don't know who that is This is an interesting bait Andrew I think a lot of people think that the Kardashians is global culture because they think American culture is automatically global culture There that's kind of true but not fully true. There are certain American stars that did not quite cross over to the rest of the globe or at least all of the globe and when you're talking about Asia The Kardashians is not something that they envy like in general, right? This is not something that is hyper hyper global. They might be more popular in like Eastern Europe maybe I could see Kendall Jenner having like a supermodel ad in Asia But not like people knowing about the drama of the Kardashian family. I think Asians are just like Do you think that Americans are wrong for thinking that all parts of American culture transfer over because one thing that a lot of people Do not know Andrew is that hip-hop is not very big in Europe Like you know what I mean like not as big it's not as big if you even went to the UK and somebody's just said Oh, I don't know who Jay Cole is. I wouldn't be shocked. Yeah No, no like not that many rappers can tour Europe so it goes to show you not every part of American culture transfers over Somebody said good for him. I also wish I didn't know who they were.  They're not worth knowing about I don't understand why they became famous. Ray J. You just said he Accidentally released that tape. No, it was all a plan from Kris Jenner. Everybody hates them But can't look away. I can't believe I was at a training for a call center in America a few years ago I said I couldn't recognize the Kardashians from each other and everybody looked at me like I was an alien That's so stupid Andrew, what do you think the Kardashians represented American society? Because sometimes it reminds me of like Jerry Springer with the drama mixed with Marilyn Monroe That's Kim Kardashian mixed with a little bit of like the Kennedy family as crazy as that sounds because you're following this Like royal high-profile family.  I think it's because they represent American frivolousness and just this fact of like Famous for being fun untalented people being superstars Where it's like not saying the Kardashians don't have a good business sense, obviously they run good business But other than that, they're not really quite talented. They didn't really accomplish anything outstanding So it's like why are you a fan? What are you a fan of like if you're saying I'm a Kim Kardashian fan?  It's just the way she looks her Personality does she she says interesting stuff does she teach you things? I don't know Maybe not maybe maybe different people take different information. Do you think it's true in Asia? They tend to really value the Westerners that are the best at something whether that's LeBron Messi Kobe Andrew Jackie Chan himself is a huge fan of Jody Foster because he said yeah, Jody Foster was a child actor I was child actor. She direct movies and acts. I acted then I direct movies I love it like you know what I mean? He's looking at her capacities and her skills Does it kind of go back to America losing its meritocracy? Should there be a meritocracy when it comes to fame? There should be but clearly there's not somebody said the mere fact that people support them and buy into them are the ones that Keep making them famous whether they support them to love them or support them to hate them They're saying the fact that he's going Jackie's going viral for not knowing the Kardashians It's still actually riding the Kardashians because the Kardashians do not care whether you like them or hate them as long as you're thinking about them Yes, yes, yes I do think and a lot of people tend to think about the Kardashians because and they want to Crap on them and talk trash about them because it makes them feel better about their own life They're like see I can pick apart the Kardashians on why they're not famous even though I live with my mom in my room that I grew up in and you know, it's like it doesn't matter like at the end of the day I think hating on somebody on the internet still actually helps you and makes you feel better too And it also helps them because you're talking about them, right? Somebody says China is looking better and better every day and someone said what do you mean man?  Um, obviously, you know this argument could go on forever But basically it's almost like people are just saying man I'm sick of like the Anglo sphere fishbowl and things that we're required to think about as a fish That's a part of this pop cultural fishbowl.  Um, but yeah, people are I think that that's why people are looking at Jackie because they're like you're a superstar to me But you don't think about some of the things I wish I didn't know also would you say David that in a weird way Some people are looking at Jackie as a proxy for China where it's like look China Like a lot of people on the internet would be like yeah see China they just care about manufacturing They don't care about all this other American BS Look at how they're able to get all the kids to Sit still in school and and they're limiting the gaming on their apps and stuff Smart and then they're looking at Jackie being like yeah see Jackie just cares about his work He gets up and works.  Anyway, Andrew Let's just get into our takeaways from silly to serious. This is for sure silly I mean, I guess there's this assumption that people we identify with or view as stars Especially in the Western world or English speaking world know the same things that we do And that's why sway almost seems kind of shocked that Jackie doesn't know who Wu Tang clan is Who's your favorite Wu Tang clan member I just you speak English You don't know the rap group the Wu Tang clan with the Riza the jizz a man That man and all those guys 50 cents and he and definitely those white hosts are shocked that he doesn't know who the Kardashians are but It's funny because I think it's good for those hosts to realize you like hey, man This guy is from another country and he just because he's popular in America doesn't mean he cares about American culture But people are not used to that Usually the people are popular in America try to know everything about America exactly I'm not surprised if you quiz Michelle. Yo, she probably wouldn't know everything either She might not know a little bit more than Jackie of course it makes sense But ultimately these people are from a different world and they're just like, you know, like the globe is my world You know, I don't have to know ten out of ten things in America Maybe I know six out of ten America six out of ten here six out of cuz I travel everywhere And then of course, I know ten out of ten of my own culture. Right, right, right Um, I also think it just goes to show you that if you're a master a Actual master at something that people respect you do not have to cater to them Right like Jackie's English hasn't even improved in 30 years Jackie's English hasn't improved He doesn't need to know who the Kardashians are or the Wu Tang clan is even though he does know who 50 cent is He doesn't have to be apologetic about any of it. He's hyper confident. He cannot be shaken You cannot shake his confidence with anything like how are you gonna roast Jackie Chan? Like really roast him like to the point where he's like nervous. How are you gonna make him nervous? He's jumping from building the building right and he even made Steve Harvey laugh and interview and Steve Harvey is notorious for maybe like Not having the highest image of Asian men like in a way You get to be oblivious if you're a master of something and I think that's an interesting message to a lot of Americans out there are young people or Asian Americans Americans Specifically where it's like we feel like we don't really we always feel like we're catering to people We feel like we have to assimilate. We're trying to be almost like the closest carbon copy to whoever we're talking to Yeah, exactly. It's like if we have an interview coming up It's almost like instead of going on the show and just enjoying yourself You almost treated like a job interview where you'd have to like brush up on who are all the hottest celebrities Oh, I gotta be able to answer this question. Oh, can they send me the questions for it? Who are all the Kardashians?  So I guess maybe what Can you master? What are you the master of are you mastering something? I would like to think Maybe we're not masters of it, but we're pretty close to like understanding a lot of like Asian culture Asian American culture for sure No, that's now now you could say, okay Well, if I go on the TV show and the TV show host doesn't value that you guys are 10 out of 10 knowledge in that field Then I don't have the leverage to act like I don't care about right But everybody values what Jackie Chan does and that's the difference.  He can beat you up. He can kick you fast and he's a seasoned veteran So and he has a Oscar now. He's a legend Worldwide legend. There's Michael Jackson. There's Michael Jordan and on that list Jackie Chan Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan Bruce Lee and Jackie. Anyway, let us know what you guys think in the comment section below What can we take away from this? Here's some other clips from Jackie Chan interviews over the years man?

We are the hot pop boys and until next


adventures in time and space told in future tense what you will hear transcribe in the next half hour represents either a magnificent hoax or the true explanation of a famous Grimshaw sanatorium scandal which made the headlines back in 1947 the manuscript upon which this account is based was removed by the New York State Police from a fountain pen cover found in the doorway to dr. Grimshaw study we offer this manuscript as evidence only whether it is authentic or not you must judge for yourself college class of 34 member of theta alpha I'm one of those fools who wanted some excitement in life so instead of going into my father's shoe business I became a private detective these are facts you can check them if you like the rest of what I write here is so fantastic that I don't expect it to be believed if anyone should find this manuscript and read it all I ask is that you notify Ms. Millison Ambruster of 2 9 9 Wallace Avenue Buffalo that Johnny Doherty is dead on the evening of July 1st Ms. Ambruster and I were driving to a wedding not our own though I wish it had been it was Sunday and in order to avoid traffic I took the old mill road single lane dirt of there that runs past the go on the cemetery Johnny aren't you going to back not for this row there isn't a thing around except some tombs Johnny's is a gate to the cemetery what about her I don't see any Johnny look out like hers with no lights on pulling out of the cemetery lucky I had good breaks we skidded for about 20 feet and slammed into the back of hers two rear doors buckled and snapped open it was a freak huge oak coffin with brass handles tipped up and began slowly to slide back towards you stay right here honey I'll help the driver with that thing hey you okayed in the speed limits do you jack now look let's not get hung up on who was right and who was wrong I was going too fast and you were traveling without lights after dark main thing is nobody's hurt and no damage done except of that coffin and I don't suppose the argument minds too much let's see the driver's license and registration right here John Dorothy oh a private eye huh you listen to the radio too much junior now if you don't mind who does this joy wagon belong to go on the funeral service it's being rented to Grimshaw who Grimshaw from the private sanatorium you mind if I ask what you were doing after dark coming out of a cemetery with a wooden kimono we're moving one of Grimshaw's patients to a new grave they always travel like this now look Hawkshow how about skipping the third degree and giving me a hand getting the box back in the wagon huh the pleasure better screw on the cover again it's gonna slide off let's get it in the hearse first okay junior you get on that end ready that's the guy's name junior I don't ask him real wise guy half of mine to report this accident see what gets you Grimshaw's got a lot of influence around here mr. a lot of influence not to pardon me I'll deliver the body until a few seconds ago listen baby can you sit here in the car for another five minutes oh we're due at the wedding in half an hour I won't be long where are you going first through the cemetery oh hey Johnny stop making jokes honey when we lifted that coffin back on a meat wagon I got a good look inside of it oh exactly how I felt I figured we'd knock the stuffing out of the corpse I didn't expect the stuffing to be sand what yes it wasn't a body it was a dummy stuffed with sand a dummy with a wax face which brings up an interesting question who's supposed to be in that box and just where is the dead man spending his time times in my business when things drop off you have to go out and dig up new clients my next case was a gentleman named Harlan Ward senior the wealthy automobile manufacturer I got in his name of his son's tombstone are you trying to tell me Dorothy that my son Harlan was never buried at Gwanda cemetery exactly mr. Ward why maybe if you will tell me the circumstances surrounding your son's death I can help answer that my son was a rather impetuous young man tall good looking after his graduation from Princeton he began drinking quite heavily after he got into a couple of scrapes we sent him to Dr. Grimshaw sanatorium and the hope that he could be cured while my wife and I were in Europe we received word that he had died he was buried at Gwanda in our absence last week my wife and I decided have his body removed to the family vault here at short here's how did your son die mr. Ward suicide he slashed this wrists at the sanatorium you never saw the body no we couldn't get back from Europe in time I see see here how do I know this whole thing isn't a plan to fleece me how do I know that you didn't remove the body yourself you don't but you're a rich man mr. Ward and you're perfectly willing to take a chance that I'm on a level and that your son may still be alive you sound very sure of yourself mr. Dorothy my fee is $2,000 retainer plus expenses what sort of expenses however much it costs to take the cure at Dr. Grimshaw sanatorium what do you say mr. Ward my secretary will send you a check in the morning good oh one other thing what's that I want a photograph of your son and good one I think that can be arranged look here Dorothy if I cooperate how do I know that you won't run off I won't guarantee it on the other hand I might have to get myself killed on this job we both take a risk mr. Ward Michaud sanatorium was just outside Goanba and it was strictly for the $460 a day most of the cases were nervous breakdowns and alcoholics I committed myself as a dipshow and just to make it convincing I stopped at five or six bars on the way over I was interviewed by Grimshaw himself a small man with a fringe of white hair seemed on the level and yet there was something just the slightest bit phony about the whole deal you understand mr. Dorothy that's not my real name of course social reasons and we understand our paid clientele is very select my rates are rather high you'll be paid in cash and in advance doctor Grimshaw you will find us most sympathetic how long does a cure usually take doctor that of course depends on the degree of alcoholism this is my assistant dr. boy now how'd you do how would you do we are accepting mr. Dorothy is patient that place him in the ward with mr. K and mr. Crekey mr. K is a long term patient mr. Dorothy highly intelligent man formerly a professor of plant pathology mr. Crekey suffers mild illusions I think you'll find him rather amusing about three days my roommates are the key and Crekey got used to me and we even began to play three handed bridge K was a chronic dope addict an intelligent sensitive man Crekey was nothing but a clown he kept a big black cat named the professor but she talked to us if it were human and so I said to her my dear countess if you don't like the company of my cat then you don't like me and she looked at me as if I weren't saying but of course the joke wasn't her because I was a professor you don't have to forgive count Crekey mr. Dorothy when you've been here as long as I have you'll get used to him do you like cats mr. Dorothy I do hope you like cats since we had to have adjoining rooms the professor is very sociable and excellent company except when he kills birds and deposits them in your bed he's nothing but a feline murderer as far as I'm concerned see you have insulted him come here professor let's make friends how about giving me your paw you insulted him you hurt his feelings well keep him away from me it would be a pleasure I would advise you not to insult him again count Crekey is not altogether without influence he has mr. cable inform you good afternoon and evening is he always as nuts as that ever since I've been here I didn't let him keep that black Satan I don't know I suppose Grimshaw wants to pamper him he's been here since they opened the place I understand spends about three hours a day getting therapy from Grimshaw what's his problem manic depressive a little paranoid to how long have you been here Arthur Grimshaw's two years I left for a while but I couldn't stay away from the junk so I committed myself again did you happen to know a patient here named Harlan Ward what do you ask that you know I met met him socially a few times I understand he died here so the newspapers said I wouldn't know suicide wasn't it was it you're being pretty careful aren't you mr. dirty what would you say if I were to tell you that I don't believe Harlan Ward is dead what makes you so certain Harlan Ward used to share this room with us he slept in the same bed you now use I see he was an alcoholic doing quite well too from what I could observe we all expected him to go home soon then one evening he had a violent fight with Cracky Cracky accused him of snooping or something later that night Grimshaw and Boyner took him out where they take all the special treatment cases to the charity clinic that small building on the other side of the stone wall I think they do their surgery cases there why did they take him there I don't know can find but I guess a few days later we read about his death suicide they say it why do you think he's still alive this about a month ago I was in the garden next to the wall that separates us from the charity clinic suddenly I thought I heard a sound like a child whimpering it stopped the moment later this note came over the wall wrapped around a stone then I'm certain I heard a blow and a scream again like a child what does the note say helped me for God's sake Harlan Ward I haven't told anyone yet for fear Grimshaw and Boyner might find out it might just be some insane prank by one of the charity cases and yet why should Dr. Grimshaw want to pretend Harlan Ward is dead I'm not an oracle mr. Doherty what about this charity clinic I've always been curious Grimshaw and Boyner make sure that no patient goes there unsupervised many of those who've been taken across like Harlan Ward I've never seen again Arthur how'd you like to have some fun like what like sneaking out tonight and going over the wall what do you say it'd break them and not me a little I don't know if there's something fishy going on it'd be better to find out now wouldn't it I suppose there's no real harm in it of course not I'd go alone but I'll need help scaling that wall will you do it all right I'll go with you it was shortly after midnight when Kay and I slipped out of the room and made our way out to the garden count creaky was snoring soundly when we left the wall was about eight feet high but we made it without too much trouble out all clear give me your hand and I'll let this charity building over there one of the lights in the basement window come on we'll make a run across the driveway and hide in that clump of bushes alongside the building ready all right crawl over toward the window with the light maybe we can see something sounds like Grimshaw let's get closer can you make out what he's saying probably some patient having a DT's they could keep that basement window let's get over there when I can have a look do to get caught see anything relax it's some sort of laboratory that's right I can see Grimshaw and someone else told me if we're still we may make out what they're saying take it quietly it will be easier I warn you it will all be over soon you won't remember any boy now give it to me my boy now what did you see what did they do to the child Arthur that wasn't a child it was a midget the smallest midget I've ever seen what are they doing trying to give it some sort of injection when it resisted boy to knock it out what are you supposed they were doing to it I don't know Arthur all I know is that when it fell it had the face of Harlan was working like a pinball machine only the score wouldn't add up the pieces where they're all right crazy old doctor a brutal assistant the private sanatorium and midget with a dead man's face and I couldn't figure it out I thought that when I got back to our room I'd have some time to think about I'd forgotten about our friend the happiness boy Count Creaky so you've caught us now how about calling back into the woodwork like a good little count well where you make hunting Arthur and I like to go make hunting in life it's funny thing though the mink went running very good the grungy and we're running like crazy though weren't they Arthur like crazy mr. dirty you make fun of Count Creaky you're lying I should report you to dr. Boynard better not if you know what's good for you so you threaten me me Count Creaky world's champion gymnast and barbell balancer I should scream for help what do we do now put him to bed hope that honey wakes up in the morning he's forgotten the whole thing and if he hasn't they won't take him seriously anyway I don't think Grimshaw would believe him besides which he doesn't know what we actually were doing come on let's get him back into bed I went to sleep in my own room and the next thing I felt was the sharp chap of the hypodermic needle in my left arm I started to struggle but it was no use take it boy now in another assistant were holding me down Grimshaw stood over me the empty needle still in his hand that's it the useless to struggle mr. Dorothy in the moment your motor nerves will be completely paralyzed what's this about Grimshaw I might ask the same of you my good friend count Creaky informs me you and mr. K decided to do some snooping earlier tonight he followed you and so you climb the wall Creaky's insane that is a matter of opinion mr. Dorothy Creaky what is this perhaps my assistant dr. Grimshaw would be good enough to explain assistant yes you see I am the actual head of the Grimshaw senatorium Grimshaw count Creaky feigns many delusions mr. Dorothy but in this case he's telling the truth count Creaky is actually professor Ernst Hassler professor Hassler and I worked together in the Berlin Urological Institute before the last war unfortunately my political affiliations for the third right you an investigation after the war by the war crimes commission however dr. Grimshaw managed to smuggle me into this country where masquerade as a mental patient thus we are able to continue certain experiments which were interrupted by the American army I can imagine the sort of experiments you've conducted you on your friend mr. K will discover their exact nature very shortly mr. Dorothy it's a magnificent opportunity to serve science the next thing I knew I was coming to a different home I guess it was somewhere in the charity building because the angle of the sound through the windows they had me in a straight jacket and kept doping me until I lost count of time I don't know how long it kept up and every one day being wheeled along a corridor into an operating room and hearing the voices of Boiner Grimshaw and Creaky as if from a great distance pituitary and pituitary for cc's for cc's how are the measurements reducing rapidly we'll operate at once the bonus not the anesthesia all right doctor commence I had a blinding headache after that war off horrible sensation of weakness I began to wonder and Creaky and Grimshaw weren't doing something to drive me insane because I lost all sense of perspective the room seemed to grow in size I don't know how much time passed but one day Grimshaw came into the room with a bundle in his arms about the size of a newborn baby the bundle was my friend Arthur K good morning Mr. Dorothy I brought you a companion I'm sure you two gentlemen will enjoy each other's company couldn't believe my eyes until Grimshaw sat out the down on the bed beside me it was then that I got the real shock but I realized that what it looked like a tiny bundle in Grimshaw's arms was actually the same size that I was then for the first time I began to understand what was happening to us Arthur K and I were being made into midgets we got the full explanation next morning by the eminent professor hustler alias count Creaky came in to gloat over us I'm disappointed gentlemen do you not feel privileged to be a part of an experiment that will place me at the very top rank of the words endocrinologist it has been long established gentlemen that dwarfism and giantism result from injury to or malfunction of the pituitary and thyroid glands the interlock between these glands was thought to be a hormone I have discovered that this was incorrect it is an enzyme an enzyme I isolated some years ago I was well on the way to synthesis in Germany when the surrender interrupted me the interruption also limited the number and type of subjects on whom I could experiment I was forced to find others such as Harvin Ward Mr. Ward was only a control experiment no gentlemen for you I have reserved a special privilege you gentlemen will be the first to test the full effects of the enzyme in short I intend that you Mr. K and you Mr. Doherty when the experiment is completed will emerge as perfectly healthy and normal individuals except of course that you will be only five inches tall a nightmare from which Arthur and I will for brief periods to find ourselves in a strange new world a huge tightening world where everything was enlarged a hundred times when we finally emerged we found ourselves imprisoned in a tiny mouse cage judging by the relative size of things we could not have been more than five inches tall now that our senses cleared we realized that the experiment was at an end that from now on it was either escape or be destroyed in Shaw Sanatorium there is nothing to add except that the fire which destroyed the Sanatorium and killed so many of its occupants including Dr. Grimshaw and Dr. Voina was definitely of incendiary origin it is believed by the fire chief that some small creature either a mouse or possibly a cat chewed the insulation off the wire and short circuited the system the two patients John Doherty and Arthur K vanished completely after the fire and their remains were never found whether the manuscript which you have just heard is authentic or whether it was the work of one of the more demented inmates of the Sanatorium we leave to your judgment next week on dimension X and the moon be still as bright the story of the first the spoilers of the planet Mars the men from Earth mention X has transcribed Dr. Grimshaw sanatorium adapted for radio by George Lefferts from an original short story by Fletcher Pratt featured in the cast were Carl Weber as John Doherty and Roger Decoven as Arthur K your narrator was Norman Rose music by Albert Berman engineer Bill Chambers dimension X is directed by Edward King your National Guard is a strong well-knit military organization of men from every state and territory in the nation no matter what emergency faces our country a National Guardsman has insured his future he's trained to handle himself if the going gets tough and at the same time he's learned new skills to help his civilian career regular Army and Air Force pay scales apply to every hour of training a Guardsman takes so men if you're over 17 join the National Guard keep your guard up enjoy Bob Hope and Groucho Marx coming soon on NBC

The attack on an oil depot in Russia's Leningrad Oblast by Ukrainian drones on the night of 17-18 January was a special operation by the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine. Ukrainian Pravda's source in the Defense Intelligence said this. This is a defense intelligence operation involving modern Ukrainian assets. Data collection continues, and there are confirmed strikes on targets, now, military facilities in St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast are within reach of Ukrainian forces, source in the Defense Intelligence said. When asked if this was the first time Ukrainian drones had attacked Leningrad Oblast, the source replied, not the first time, but there are differences this time, and the enemy has felt them. On January 18, the Russian Defense Ministry reported an attack by Ukrainian drones, in particular in Leningrad Oblast, where a UAV was supposedly shot down. At the same time, Astra Telegram channel stated that the drone crashed and exploded on the territory of the St. Petersburg oil terminal according to Russian media. The Petersburg oil terminal is the largest Russian oil transshipment terminal in the Baltic region.


The following is a presentation of TFNN, The Power Trading Hour with your host, David White. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, David White. Welcome all to another excellent edition of The Power Trading Hour with me and what do we have here? We'll just update this just to make sure. A lot of pinball going on and also have, why is that? Not exactly sure why I don't have as much audio going on. There I go. So I can hear myself again. Anyway, yeah, been kind of all over the place. We were down 100 points kind of early in the morning. We're off, let's call it 31 points now on the S&P cash. Is that any better? Exactly sure. I've got something going on with my headphones here. Anyway, it doesn't matter where you're at as long as you're here at this time. And it's all just a little bit of history repeating. On this day, yeah, no. So what do we have? Generally what I'm waiting for, for a low is complete demoralization or someone like him. I haven't seen that. I've seen way too many people talk about buying a low. That mean that we don't get a good bounce off of this. But generally just about it, if there's people still talking about buying a low like this and they're not throwing up at the time, I'm generally reticent to think that we have a low. Low and lows take time. I don't know what song that is. Let's go through my head today. And the other thing is whether or not we've got a kind of a repeat of yesterday. The volume hasn't been where we wanted it or needed it to be to show a blowout. So there is, I'm going to say a coin flip chance that we get that kind of a blowout. We need to close back somewhere around $42.50 to actually say that we have done it. Now when we look at the volume, what you probably want to see in a good low that doesn't have to be retested as light volume. We already have about 11 billion shares on the day. So we're probably going to get close to 15 or 16 billion. I would have liked to see the light volume test the low. This heavy volume is generally one that probably is going to get retested. I'm going to say 75% chance that today's low does get retested before we go higher. Does that mean we get retested tomorrow? Not necessarily. And we have a lot of people wanting to get on board now. When you actually look at the long-term effects of, at least for the United States, the invasion of Ukraine, does it really economically make a lot of problems for us? No. It's the second order of effects, and that second order of effect is, of course, now that everybody's doing a whole lot of nothing. It kind of reminds me, I'm trying to remember the comedian, but he talks that he actually named his special, Thoughts and Prayers. Because when you want to do absolutely nothing and not spend a dime, you always say, my thoughts and prayers are with you. That kind of self-saving dribble doesn't do much for the folks.  So far, the Ukrainians are getting that, a whole lot of thoughts and prayers. Not a lot of javelin and stinger missiles to thwart and cost the Russians a great deal of blood and treasure. So the thought is, if they're not going to do anything there, will they do anything in Taiwan? And that's going to be hanging out there for a while. That's the song I was thinking about. But are we beating out some kind of low? You cannot, what I dislike is trying to trade in markets where I don't have some kind of level of decent control. And really, when you move 30 points and 10 minutes in the S&Ps, I wouldn't say that you got a lot of control. I think right now it's more of a bet than prudent speculation. And I don't have to trade. There's always the ability to do nothing, which is a lot of times the worst or hardest part for a trader to wait for that big, fat pitch down the middle, instead of swinging away at wild pitches. And we'll see. Did want to answer the question a couple of days ago from one of our callers who wanted to know just how money was made for the, I guess, for the people behind people writing the contracts for indexes in futures. And it was pretty much what I said. I wanted to make sure that there was nothing back and deeper in that. Every time a contract is written, there's a long and short side to it. If you ever take a look at the commitment of traders and add them all up, you'll find out that they add up to zero. They always write or only write one side when they can write the other. That way the exposure is very limited. There's a bid and an ask, and by trading those over and over again, they make a great deal of money. But it is, for the most part, a riskless trade in that they always have both sides hedged out in the market. So it is just that. It is the equivalent of going to Las Vegas and sitting down and playing poker. There's the rake on the table. That is the equivalent to the bid and the ask. But that's how the casino makes its money. It's taken 5% out of every pot. In the case of futures, it's selling to both sides, but a premium on both sides with that bid and ask.  And that's how that money is made. So there's not a great deal of mystery to it, but we shall continue on. As I said, we've got a lot of volume. And generally, what that does is set up not a particular low, but a selling climax. And those selling climaxes generally mean a temporary low is in place. And I'd be much more thinking about subscribing to that. Give me a call today, 877-927-669. Are you grinding in the market?

On this day in 1962, the first satellite telephone and television relays are established through the communications satellite ECO-1. The satellite was basically a giant metallic balloon that simply bounced microwaves off its surface, was unadjustable, but it was simple and effective. And for a couple of years, actually was used to being television around the United States. Of course, if you've ever as a, well, I guess probably anymore, they're not there. But as a kid, I remember taking trips across the country with my folks and you'd see these microwave relays and that was really the way that television was distributed for probably until mid-19, early 1980s. Those cones, you would just see them about every 20 miles and they would just relay the signal from town to town, major town. So you were pretty much assured to see one along an interstate. But always interesting to watch those microwave relays, which I think are probably a thing of the past. Okay, we're gonna go to Mike. Is he on the line or is that just a question? Do we have Mike and Orman Beach? Hey, how you doing? I'm here, Dave. Okay, so what's your question of the day? Okay, the question is, I'm kind of putting a little watch list together of stocks I'd like to get into. Once we do get some kind of an established low and I was wondering what are some of the ones you may be thinking of that may have good potential? Well, I brought up a few of them. If you want ones that made really good signs, Amazon did this morning, we talked about that yesterday, a great deal. It opened up way below, filled the gap, did so on a whole lot less volume. There's one right there, the February 3rd low 2766 with 11 million shares with 3.2. So it's not one of the stocks that really has to go and retest that low again. It did it and on significantly lighter volume this morning. So that's kind of what I'm looking for. I like these Wyckoff patterns where they break out with a lot of volume. They come back and fill them. This one filled a little bit more than one would think. But 2,900 was kind of where we were looking for it. And do we get a bounce? Yeah, right now though, the problem is you've got probably extensively hard and fast resistance at 4250. So you're only talking about 38 points higher, I think on the S&P. And then you get into Friday. And the question is, do we get a repeat of yesterday where we just bounced and gave it all back up in another 24 hours? So I do not know the answer to that question yet. I will tell you though, I did a lot of work last night until about 2.30 in the morning, watching the markets try to find the low around that 40, just a little over 4,100 in the futures. And yeah, do we have a temporary low in here? Do I like it? I kind of feel like I'm on an ice flow that's melting. But we shall see, this is about the fourth time they pushed it up. I would like, I would much more think that we had a valid low out here if the Dow also wasn't down 400 points. I think that tells you a great deal. But there's one in Amazon that is the pattern I like. Are there some that you're thinking about? Well, actually I called in yesterday with Tom and we went over Walmart. That's one of the ones on my list. And like I said, I'm just kind of putting a list together and just sitting here like a vulture and waiting for the right moment to get in. Yeah, Amazon looks, I think, better than Walmart here. You've got about six million shares so far into at the highs, a 13 million share low. The last low was 8.4 million shares. Again, what you wanna see for long-term lows is light volume. For short-term lows, you want a lot of volume and that signals a selling climax.  You could go sideways or you could go up. The Amazon chart, I like a lot more than Walmart. You have any other names you're thinking of right now I could look at? Maybe T, 18T. Okay. Back in the gap up of let's see, December 16th of last year, that had 13 million shares. Into it with 45 million shares. So you may have a little bit more risk here in AT&T over the next day or two. But again, I'm not looking to get in right away. Like I said, I'm looking, once it kind of confirms a low in- Well, I was gonna say- I do like this one better than I do Walmart. Just because of that low. Generally what you're gonna get, if you're gonna get a really good trade on something like Walmart is a bounce on light volume. It's gonna come back and retest it again. Now, does it have to? No, but your trade is gonna be a great deal better off if it does. But yeah, this one, generally when you get fairly strong legs down like you did to have in Walmart, it's much more likely to consolidate for a while. Amazon's probably a whole lot less. We got about a minute and a half left. Do you have any other symbols you're thinking of? Not right off the top of my mind, but that's what I was wondering, what you might have your eye on and you told us Amazon, I didn't know any other- I mean, that just looks right. And we talked about it yesterday and how it looked right. American Tower, are you familiar with this one? No, no, but you know, I'll look at it. They lease the towers out for all the 5G antennas. Okay. This had a double top. It wasn't that bad of a double top up about 300 bucks. You're back down to 220 today. You got a nice reversal signal off this move higher, double gap going back to 3, 26 of March, 26 of last year. That gapped up on 2.7 million shares. You got 1.4 million shares today. So that seems to me one that's probably not going to be at the whims of Putin or interest rates or anything else, right? They're just leasing towers to put 5G equipment on everywhere. Probably a little overpriced at 300 bucks at 220. It looks a little bit better. That one right there seems to be a bit more stable. I'll just look at something that was maybe different than Walmart, but Amazon would be my choice over Walmart, American Tower would be great. Thanks for the call. Thank you, Dave. All the best.

It's that Dow still off 400 points. Crude oil's up just under a buck. Gold kind of gave it all back. So yeah, probably if you had the opportunity and you were long, let's say, the XLE in some of these things, I think you got some fairly good topping indicators in that and in gold in the short term. That means that you're gonna have the opportunity probably by gold back around 1875 or 1870, something like that, maybe as low as 1850. And that'll be interesting to say the least. Anyway, you have a question, a couple of questions about CCJ. One's the fundamental argument on it from James. Fundamentally, it's great. There's a lot of demand. They're a candidate so they don't have to do much. I think the trade got better today when we found out that of the economic sanctions on Russia, they're pretty much toothless. They didn't go after the Swiss banking system. So Russia really still has full access to all its cash and moving stuff around. So did they get to that later? I mean, if you really wanted to put the screws to the Russians, that's why you're gonna do it, that they can't, means either the Swiss won't do it or enough people won't put the heavy hand to them. I don't understand it. Same thing happened in World War II. Swiss wouldn't back away from doing business with the Nazis and made a lot of what happened possible. And we have the same thing. So as far as I'm concerned today, as long as that Swiss banking system is still available to the Russians, they haven't paid any price. The only thing that may be a little bit of public opinion, but my guess is in two weeks, this is all off the front of the front pages and someone finds another disaster to go chase in the media, but it doesn't look like there's much going on here to change the long-term for Kimiko.  So what you really have here is, again, at the moment, lower highs and higher lows, which means that this could go sideways for another week or two until it busts out and then that's it. So I don't see anything that says that you wanna be sticking your head out. The reason is if we had extensive sanctions that really meant something, then that may deter China. My problem would be if China does go after Taiwan now, that they see the green flag in the Ukraine and nothing but a bunch of thoughts and prayers and not real action that they will go after Taiwan, pretty much as soon as the hangover from the squid games is done over there. So I'm, call me a skeptic. Maybe that changes on the, that would change my opinion on the long term on that because that could really hurt the Russians, but then so far, nickel and diming them and not much going on there. Yeah, I don't see anything that gives you a big advantage. What I would love to see in CCJ, if I was trading it, is a break below this triangle that's been forming and you can really make a triangle starting back here on the January 6th high, back into the move here and then one starting about this 1803 low and apt to this thing. So generally the breakout of these triangles is about 75 or 80% on the wrong side. So ideally, if you're just playing the odds, you want to see this thing gap down back below with light volume and then move back higher and then it'll probably take off, but it may be another week on that one before it settles out.<PHONE_NUMBER>. What else do we have here for emails? Did I get everything? Intel, what's your view on Intel making a bullish engulfing today? Little known fact, Intel is exactly like all the others out here in that the latest, greatest processors all depend on Taiwan semiconductor to manufacture them. There's a special plant on the North side of Taiwan. All of these have a associated risk. So could you trade them and make some money? Yes, would I now that the squid games are over in China are mostly over, would I play these? I would, but I would only use options. I don't want to have any risk out here. Now, I mean, let's say you're looking at the poster child for maximum risk in things like AMD and Nvidia, doesn't mean they won't bounce, does mean though that you could have some severe risk when you come back in. Nvidia of the two looks much better on the lighter volume from January 24th. Both of these are massively shorted right now. So I'm not surprised to see a big reversal. You missed the low by two cents, which is fine on half the volume so far. So Nvidia, much better looking. All of these, if you're playing them, I would want to be in cash in these and wake up and find out that now that we've kind of given Russia the green light and not really imposed anything at least to today, that's really gonna matter in any significant way. You know, if that changes, then I will, but if we're not, if we're not arming a resistance in the Ukraine and going after the Swiss banks, there just isn't much and we are a toothless tiger, at least to the Russians. 877-927-664A. Hopefully I answered that question. Question about the TLT. You had the big risk off trade. This is the opposite side of everything else. You didn't even really make it back to these double gap downs that go back to the third and the fourth of February. For these, I'm really looking at, yeah, this is the equivalent of the dark cloud cover. Not here on TLT. Like I said, I think this is going to 128. If we just go sideways, slowly people will get out of bonds and go back to something else. Maybe gold, something, but if you had TLT or bonds and you got a gift here to get out, be back in a minute.

He asks, what would be a good signal for at least a temporary low in here today? And that would be a close over 42.50. That's kind of been the line in the Rubicon. So we'll see how it closes today. But that would be a short-term low, not a long-term low. And again, long-term lows are made on light volume. High volume lows are selling climaxes and that just means that the selling is temporarily exhausted. So yeah, do you have something that you can trade here for the next day or two? Maybe to the close, certainly. But does that mean that this doesn't get retested? Generally, selling climaxes do not get retested within the next week. So yeah, you've got a little bit here. The downside is how close we are right now to resistance, which is 42.50. So I would imagine a lot of people that are waiting for 42.50 or they're about to dump on this market and get short again like they did a day or two ago. So just keep an eye on it. A question about micron. Again, all these stocks I'm keeping an eye on. You know, you didn't have bad volume out here today. You didn't go back and retest the low. So yes, you could be setting up an ABC, 22 million shares back on the 9th of February to 16. So you do have lighter volume back into these candles. And what is pretty much supported about 84 bucks out here. If I was gonna play this again, any of these semis, anything that depends on Taiwan, I would wanna be in options. I don't wanna be in the equity side. The risk is just too high if we get some kind of follow-on. Okay, I got another question. What's the read on if we do not close above 42.50 on the S&P cash? That would suggest that we kind of meander around here. One of the things that can, two things happen on a selling climax. You either get a short-term bounce, short-term, I mean by seven days or something like that.  And generally that consolidation lasts a handful of days. You go back, retest the high volume low. So I guess the things to really watch is whether or not we have a bunch of people dive in on this hand grenade before the close today or if they sell. We get another close below 42.00, then the chances are a great deal better that we're gonna consolidate out these lows. Go retest today's low in that low, 41.00. But volume is extensive. And that is generally not a good sign. As Tim Ord and other big Wycoff fans are apt to say, a high volume low isn't a low until it's been retested. And with over 12 billion shares already, on the way probably 16 billion, it's going to be tough. Question, can I look at the gold chart and see where I'd wanna rebuy to two?  It was on decent volume, which suggests that you could still get a retest of that again, but you're probably, I'm gonna say 172-ish, 172.50. That would be enough to demoralize everybody that's been buying gold, I think. And that's generally when you wanna buy it. But good pattern, nothing's really changed here. I think the only thing that happened is those blow off tops on crude and gold. But when we look at the TLT, yeah, that's, you know, that is fairly bearish, just a bounce and a downtrend. And my thoughts are probably now when this heads lower, you're probably headed to 128, not just 132. So it actually would, the way I look at this would be even more bearish on that, which is gonna be probably bullish for gold as people look for places to hide. And you find out the TLT is the proverbial pigs house made out of straw to question about financials. We have here. XLF. Okay, tested a previous low on 170 million shares. You did so today on 99, so that's fairly good so far. Again, as TLT heads lower, interest rates are higher that the TLT was running like a scalded ape up over the last couple of days as people got into it, suggested that interest rates, at least by the market, were probably not going to go higher. So financials were on the chopping block, but actually a fairly good one. The only thing I would like to have seen is lighter volume on the way back down. You may have a low here. It may take a little while to consolidate out in the financials, but your risk reward's pretty good here. You just don't wanna close below 3682 and as long as the bonds head south and interest rates head north, probably going to be better. More people using credit cards, not paying them off and paying exorbitant fees to those folks at the banks. So I think it's good, but you got like a one buck here and a little maybe a little more than that, but right at there, about a buck test. You've got nice light volume. I understand the volume on the downside in this with the rally in the TLT, but I think this just washes everybody out and the light volume is there. So this does not have to get retested. So if you're looking at charts today, I think that would be the giveaway or the takeaway from this show. And that is look for stocks. If you want better, more safe trades, you wanna be looking at stocks that tested their lows and did so on a whole lot lighter volume. Two, what else do we have? Let's check in in the indexes. Okay. Yeah, we're hanging right at what is gonna be resistance.  Now, just this morning we had a little dip for margin calls that were back up here and not much has changed, probably takes them off the table for today, but normally we would have been in that part where we had margin calls at 2.30. Rally kind of takes that off, but we have more weakness tomorrow. Look for margin calls in. Back, wrap the show up.

As we looked at earnings last night, booking.com gets the loser horn of the day. You came down here to this double gap. You went through it actually into the gap at about 2,150. You've kinda come back up, but there is a ton of space between those two. I think you're just kinda lucky here on booking.com, but it does tell you how many of these stocks are way out over the tips of their skis. The big winner of the day, MR, yay. So we said kind of yesterday, two MNA, the big winner of the day other than clove oncology as Moderna. Actually not a bad looking chart. As I said, Pfizer looked to me like it was ready to bounce. This actually had a fairly decent chart, January 24th, 16 million shares. Yesterday had about eight million shares. So yeah, I would have liked the energy to be a little less off this February 1st, but you had a light volume test on light volume. And most of these things, including the IBB, look like they could turn around or that have at least temporarily bottom. A close above 122.50 on the IBB signals that it could have a fairly decent low come in. So at least on a sector, it doesn't look that bad. Let's take a quick look at PFE. Everybody wants these to bounce so they can go back and chase them out. You're getting the gap fill the day on lighter volume than Pfizer. To the 373 million shares compared to 28. So not a bad gap though, maybe another day or so. Pfizer will be ready for 53 and then you'll get a chance to short it. So when you can, not when you have to, we'll see you here tomorrow. Think that channel, same at that time.


Midsummer in the Chilean Atacama Desert. As night falls, telescopes at ESO's observatories are just starting the night's observations. But all of a sudden, a strange phenomenon appears in the distance. What could this be? Let's take a closer look. This is the ESOcast. Cutting-edge science and life behind the scenes at ESO, the European Southern Observatory. It's the 20th of January 2015 and ESO photo ambassador Petra Horaleck is capturing the beauty of the Milky Way at the La Silla Observatory. Suddenly, a series of short-lived flashes of red light appear out of nowhere above the horizon. In the direction of the flashes, Petra photographs the very rare and peculiar features known as red sprites. This makes him one of a small group of people to successfully record them. And it's the first time that they have been captured from a major astronomical observatory. A week later, Petra travels further north to photograph the night's skies above ESO's Paranal Observatory. Just a few hours before daybreak, he once again witnesses a flurry of these strange flashes over the Andes. From Petra's perspective, they appear to come from the direction of the rising galactic bulge of the Milky Way. But they actually originate from another huge complex of storms over Argentina, more than 600 km from Paranal. The storms are so strong that Petra can observe and document another display of their activity. High in the atmosphere, gravity waves are generated by these storms and form ripples in the greenish layer of air glow. But what are these curious, airy spirits? In thunderstorms, most cloud-to-ground discharges are called negative lightning, as they transfer negative charges to the ground. Barely 5% of all discharges are positive cloud-to-ground lightning, transferring positive charges from the thunder cloud to the ground. Up to 10 times more energetic than negative lightning, positive lightning seems to be what makes the Earth's atmosphere a playground for red sprites. Red sprites are a manifestation of complex high-altitude electrical processes. They appear, dancing in the dark night skies, as red figures composed of beads, puffs and tendrils of light. These unusual flashes are formed at altitudes of up to 90 km and get their distinct red hue from the excited nitrogen molecules in the atmosphere. Red sprites were first suggested on theoretical grounds in 1925 by the Scottish physicist Charles Wilson. But it wasn't until 1989 that scientists from the University of Minnesota managed to capture the first image of a sprite on film as they were photographing aurorae. And just a few years later, the NASA Compton Gamma Ray Observatory managed to discover gamma bursts originating above thunderstorms, another consequence of lower atmospheric lightning activity. Astronauts have a particularly good vantage point from space and have also photographed sprites using normal digital cameras. From space, sprites appear shortly after their corresponding lightning strike. In this image taken from space, both the sprite and the lightning flash are captured. There are many different species of high-altitude atmospheric flashes on Earth, commonly known as upper atmospheric lightning. Red sprites might be the most frequently photographed upper atmospheric lightning phenomena on Earth, but they can appear rather dim when captured on camera. Furthermore, the exact time and location of their appearance in the sky is quite unpredictable. They have been found to show up over powerful, showing them is valuable to scientists trying to study these elusive spirits that dance above thunderstorms. And now ESO has also contributed a small piece to this intriguing puzzle in the Earth's atmosphere. Oh man.


This study examined the temporal organization of circadian and ultradian rhythms in four different species. It was found that all four species exhibited similar patterns of rhythm with a branching appearance at 12 hours, 8 hours, and below in mammals and birds, and at 4 hours and below in yeast. These rhythms were characterized by scale-free fluctuations with long-range correlations below 4 hours. Additionally, synthetic time series models supported the idea that both circadian and ultradian rhythms are present within these species, with the circadian rhythm being at the center of the emerging pattern.
