Good afternoon. I hope that every one of you have been well fed as it is only seeming for The reputation of hospitality of our institution. I will speak a few words about the Market integration as we see today But also as we would like to see it evolve in the next couple of years for over a decade the European Commission, but also the Euro system and Together with the market participants. We have been working towards Transforming what has up to now been a very fragmented Market in the financial area, especially when it comes to infrastructure in Europe and trying to get to a more integrated level This work is still work in progress Requires still more effort however We are so much used to be pessimistic and negative in Europe And let me tell you that despite the request for more efforts for integration One has to admit that the area of market in Infrastructure integration has already achieved a remarkable amount of success if you look at it from a time perspective Therefore, I will briefly Assess where do we stand right now? But then more interestingly, I also want to share with you how we always look forward and what are For the moment within the ECB at least The areas where we will set our eyes on and where we believe we could still make further progress And I will in this respect Mention two topics the first is Security issuance and the second is instant payments settlement In both these areas Digitalization is opening up new opportunities and Therefore also that is a further driver for change We at the ECB at least we stand ready to take action according to our role So following the launch of T2S in summer 2015 And two further migration waves that we have seen during the last year The next big event will be next week When the German market is due to migrate to T2S And I can tell you We are looking at this in a very optimistic way we Anticipate that in a little bit more than one week We will Have an increase of up to 90 percent of the total volume in the euro area expected at that time When all participating central securities depositories will have connected to the platform This next migration wave will also lead to an increase in the use of links Between T2S markets that facilitate cross-border transactions T2S has Significantly contributed to the integration of post-trade processes across all participating markets This has been achieved by the gradual implementation of the single rulebook That is standards rules procedures in the T2S market harmonization measures necessary for ensuring the efficient and safe cross CSD Settlement in T2S are fairly advanced and Monitoring has shown that by the time they migrate to T2S Market communities are close to achieving full compliance with T2S standards If I say close to achieving full compliance It also means that we still have some gaps in the compliance area. For example in the area of corporate actions but these are complex business processes for asset servicing which Involve rules and procedures developed by a range of different actors They newly established advisory group on market infrastructure for securities and collateral so-called AMI SECO Will address these gaps in compliance among other areas This advisory group will also look at ways in which the existing methodology Could be used as a blueprint for building a methodology to also harmonize collateral management in addition the T2S harmonization agenda has identified a number of regulatory and legal barriers To post rate harmonization that fall under the so-called regulatory agenda these relate among other issues to areas like conflict of law and withholding tax procedures The work covers also issues such as collateral mobility cross-border interoperability For example collateral messages workflows cut-off times settlement cycles and so on and so forth We expect these issues to be tackled during the course of this year while the regulatory and legal barriers have proved to be thorny issues I Still expect the commission as We have heard being part of his capital markets union or action plan That it will not be dissuaded to continue to plow forward and to swift implementation In this respect, let me only went mention that I very much welcome the commission's Legislative initiative that has been announced to determine with legal certainty which which national law should apply to security ownership and at the ECB we will certainly Contribute very eagerly to the ongoing public consultation and With a view to strengthen the legal environment for cross-border settlement services And I also welcome the other initiative in the area of withholding tax procedures where we have already contributed as Euro system in order to allow the commission to announce that a code of conduct on withholding tax procedures will be Published during the course of this year with t2s The euro system has created the basis for an efficient and effective settlement mechanism for securities in Europe at the same time by adopting the CSD regulation the commission has contributed to further harmonization of the CSD's regulatory framework However to be able to reap the benefits of these efforts Market participants and Corporates need to have full and direct access to the entire EU securities market at the low and at a harmonized cost Is European securities market should therefore also offer the possibility of issuing settling and holding securities in the same way Regardless where the issuer and the investors are located a fully harmonized system of securities issuance Could reduce the transaction cost for capital financing It could make the European securities market more attractive in the globalized economy and It would allow an effective redistribution of private risk across the European Union markets a sound and uniform pen European securities issuance mechanism would also be conducive to the creation of Capital markets union obviously Despite efforts to overcome the fragmentation of the securities market by providing a level playing field There is still too little evidence of competition The effects of competition have not been felt in terms of an actual geographical widening of services provided by the vast majority of issuers The goal of having a euro area markets Where access is as easy and as efficient as it is to the respective national market has With a few exceptions not yet been met the remaining Fragmentation is often the result of Legacy or national rules this fragmentation is an area That calls for action Therefore, we believe that it may be worse exploring the establishment of a truly European issuance service at least to start with for the supranational depth instruments We could even think about the ECB or the euro system as a whole playing an active role in setting up such an issuance service after all we built on T2S and We could also consider whether and to what extent New technologies such as distributed ledger technology Can be used in that process. I will turn now to the second suggestion That is in the retail payments markets and I have to say that despite the introduction of standardized retail payments instruments and Harmonized processing of rules the retail payment markets infrastructure in Europe remains still fragmented a Part from a few exceptions again Most automated clearing houses still primarily focus on their respective national markets The availability of a safe and efficient market infrastructure That can guarantee the processing of instant payments across Europe is in my opinion also a Pre-requisite for a success of the decided launch of pan-European instant payment solutions Payment service providers should have the choice Either to clear their instant payment through the ACHs or To use a settlement service for instant payments earlier in January the ECB has launched a market consultation on user requirements as well as the expected volumes For a settlement service for instant payments in central bank money the proposed target instant payment settlement short tips Service would offer a series of benefits to the payment service providers first it would guarantee Pan-European reachability Second it would give payment service providers a possibility to use their Credit lines stemming from their collateralized positions within target two Third it would eliminate Credit risk thus leaving the way to faster and efficient settlement Last but not least it would give payment service providers as I have mentioned the choice They could either directly connect to tips in the future or continue to channel Their payment instructions for instant payments through their respective ACH The euro system will take a decision on whether to go ahead with such a service in June let's say at the beginning of summer Tips would commence operation if the decision is a positive one as early as beginning of 2018 Let me conclude now with the migration of the German market to T2S next week the time has come to reap the actual benefits of harmonization in the post trade area in Europe But this does not mean we can slacken our efforts They still in need for further and coordinated action in the harmonization of post trade processes There are also gaps that remain in the financial market integration process when it comes to secure these issuance and There is a need for action To make a full success of instant payment across Europe, especially in the area of settlement The ECB together with market stakeholders that we have always done it in this respect Has to explore how to best take action In these areas Thank you for your attention Thank you, miss


Anyway team keep it clean, what's going on, it's St. Graven here with another video and in this video we're here to talk about the game. I didn't get to watch it live because I was glued on to Steelers and Titans game and honestly I wasn't even looking forward to this Browns-Bingles game. I figured that the Browns were going to win, thought it may be a close game but I didn't think it would be this close and I didn't think it would be this exciting. So when I watched it over I was glad that I watched it over because this was a fun one. Joe Burrow, just to start off with the Bengals, Joe Burrow. He did a good job of spreading that ball around Tyler Boyd. He had over 100 yards this game, AJ Green. He had over 80 yards in this game and I think this game in my opinion was Joe Burrow and AJ Green's best game of the season where they really really really showed a better connection. And Joe Burrow he was just making a lot of plays throughout. I know early on he did throw that interception where he just he tried to get it in there but the Browns ended up tipping it out, tipping the ball up and then I think 95 from the Browns he ended up getting the interception and then he also he got sacked by Miles Garrett a couple of times and one of those sacks ended up being oh it was a force fumble and that was rough man. That was an ugly play but besides that Joe Burrow he did a pretty good job and Joe Burrow overall he's been doing a pretty good job this season and he in this game the biggest thing that I saw from him is that he looked a lot more comfortable. And that's what's expected because he's still playing in more and more NFL games and he's getting that experience. So the game I'm sure is slowing down a bit for him. Now this season is going to be a process and Bingo's fans knew this going into this season. I know it's not any Bingo's fans. Of course you want to win a Super Bowl every year. You want your team to win a Super Bowl every year. You want your team to be successful but realistic fans, Bingo's fans they knew like okay we're not going to win a Super Bowl this year. I'm sure a lot of them didn't even probably expect the playoffs this year but they just wanted to see progress from their team. They wanted to see progress from their team from last year to this year and you got your quarterback. You obviously got your quarterback in the future. Joe Burrow has shown us that. So he's going to be good. The Bingo's just need to tighten up some things here and there and they often sublime first and foremost and then coaching sometimes they got to make some better decisions. Anyway and then with Carlos Dunlap oh boy that's just been a big yikes a big yikes but we've seen it before with how losing losing can bring out the worst in some players because some players may be frustrated but when your team is winning a lot of that frustration it can boil over but when your team is losing then and I know there have been some rumors going around with the Bengals and stuff about people wanting to get out with Carlos Dunlap and I think Gino Atkins as well but Carlos Dunlap especially he put up that he's he said hey anybody want to buy a house to send a good neighborhood good schools good district good all that stuff and I'm like man it's so that situation is getting ugly but on the field on offense the Bengals they are on the rise so they have an excellent future look forward to T Higgins had an amazing game today too so good for them. Now if you flip it to and Joe Burrow clutch he's clutch he's clutch he put his team in position to win. They went forward on that fourth down they did the play action and I think it was Giovanni Bernard who caught the touchdown but Joe Burrow has shown that clutch factor already he showed it from the very first game this season when I believe when they played the charges he showed the clutch but then the NFL said whoa whoa whoa it was a push off even though it wasn't a push off but anyway he's clutch but now you flip it to the other team and Baker Mayfield he shows some clutch too and I was very impressed by Baker Mayfield Now it did not start off so hot for Baker Mayfield he started off 0 for 5 but then he just he went on a mad in tear you know I can't even do that in matter I tried but I can't do it but he completed like 21 22 passes in a row I think 21 passes in a row but usually when you hear somebody completing all those passes in a row you think of a lot of check downs a lot of short passes a lot of passes to wide open guys easy stuff but for Baker Mayfield it wasn't that he was completing a lot of difficult passes passes where the receiver was covered really good by the cornerback but Baker Mayfield put it in a good spot where the receiver went and got it and his receivers went and got it for them they went and got it for him now some of the passes with a wide open pass catchers and whatnot to the running backs Greenmont caught a he caught a nice chunk of those passes on but Harrison Bryant the rookie from I want to say UCF but it slipped in my mind but the tight end he he caught some nice pass he caught some really nice pass in this game I think he had two touchdowns in this game Dave in the Joku Jarvis Landry of course and Hollywood Hollywood Higgins he had over a hundred yards this game and one thing about this game is unfortunate the way that it happened because Odell Beckham Jr. he and he's probably gonna be done for the year we'll know more on that tomorrow but he's most likely gonna be done for the year but when I find out y'all know I'll let y'all know and I know vice versa but when Odell went out and I know a lot of people have said this before and today's game certainly doesn't help it make make it look any better but when Odell went out Baker just seeing the field almost went up and Baker may feel like really he really spread the ball around today he spread that like everybody ate at like let's let's look at these numbers for okay here we go so Rashad Higgins he has six catches for 110 yards Harrison Bryant he had four catches for 56 yards Donovan People's Jones he had three catches for 56 yards Jarvis Landry have five catches for 48 yards Karim Hunt three for 26 Dave in a Joku two for 20 so everybody was eating everybody everybody got a piece of the pie the Browns were like I said Baker may feel was spreading that ball everywhere five touchdowns of course the one interception I know him and him and Joe Burrow they exchanged interceptions on their first drive but they both just had to all right it's out of our system now we're done but this was to me this was Baker may feel his best game of the year and again not just because of the five touchdowns not just because of the clutch touchdown to win it but because he was letting everybody eat and he was using all of his weapons and that's exactly what you want your quarterback to do so now the biggest question is the follow-up it's the follow-up because I know there's been a lot of frustration from Browns fans there's been a lot of frustration just from NFL NFL fans in general because three out of the four AFC North quarterbacks they have these narratives following them of course Lamar Jackson's is oh he's just a regular season quarterback he can't do it in the playoffs and then with Ben Roffelsberger his is that oh he's an injury prone quarterback and he's washed he ain't got nothing left anymore but with Baker Mayfield his is that okay we know what he can do he'll beat up on those bad teams he'll beat up on those bad teams but against the better teams against better competition he doesn't show up so now I know what a lot of Browns fans are searching for is this Baker Mayfield right here against better competition Baker Mayfield putting up these type of numbers against better teams and of course better teams come with better defenses better coaching better play calling etc but I know a lot of Browns fans are just waiting for Baker Mayfield to really step up and show out against better teams so we'll continue to wait and we'll continue to watch to see how that happens and what what happens next with these Browns they're sitting pretty right now they are what five and two and looking good looking good because your record is what you are you found a way to win a lot more games than you've lost the only losses have come to the Ravens and the Steelers now those are big losses especially because they are within your division but they are not the end or be all because remember instead of six AFC teams and the playoffs is seven and of course with the NFC as well so I know I did do in a question from subscriber video somebody asked me what teams do I think will be in the playoffs and I did pick three teams from the AFC North I picked all three the the Ravens Steelers and the Bengals I picked the Chiefs I picked the Beals I picked the Titans and then the last team I picked I forgot who the last team I picked was but I do expect the Browns to make it in there so we'll see what happens we'll see what happens as far as the Bengals again like I said Bengals they know who they are they they knew what they were getting into this year I don't think any Bengals fans expected playoffs they of course hope for playoffs and you hope for success but being realistic about it they're just happy to see how this team will be moving forward and that quarterback one of the biggest most important positions on the team that's taken care of you know Joe Burrow is it that is your guy so now it's all about the building around him and Bengals have always been a good team at finding talent and and having a lot of talented players on the team but the biggest problem with them has been coaching it's been directing all those players to make sure they know the ultimate goal and they know exactly how to get there so we'll see how everything continues to develop week to week to week and just as the season and not only this season but next season we'll see the progress that the Bengals make so just something to keep an eye on anyway team keep it clean I appreciate y'all I love y'all this was a very minus the Bengals of course but this was an overall pretty successful day for the AFC North because of the Steelers they won the Browns they won the Bengals they got somewhat of a moral victory we know those moral victories don't translate to on-field victories but they got a moral victory knowing that they can beat the Browns but they just didn't and now they won't see them again until next season and then of course the Ravens they on a bye week so next week in AFC North should be fun too the Bengals they play the Titans I believe that's gonna be something and then the Ravens they play the Steelers so anyway team keep it clean I appreciate y'all I love y'all I really do thank you for watching and we out


So I'm on a little biking adventure with my biking leg and I wanna show you one issue that I've been running into since it's been super hot outside. Realistically, prosthetic legs like never actually fall off except this one. So I can feel my liner literally pulling off of my leg. My leg ends about right there.  Thankfully, I brought a sock for such an occasion as this. So we dump the sweat off, dry it off, and get back on the bike.


going to refer to masking as the act of changing one's outward behavior, one's outward appearance, in order to fit in to certain social groups or situations. For example, you can mask at work, you can mask in a relationship, you can mask on your own, well maybe not on your own, but you can mask in a lot of different areas of life in order to fit a certain social expectation. Autistic masking, for all intents and purposes, is the act of hiding your autism from the world, from other people. The issue is, for a lot of autistic people, is that we do it all the time. With our mum, with our teacher, with our friends, with our partner, we tend to mask because we don't feel like anyone can really love or like us because we are autistic. Very horrible, difficult thing.


One of the things that I regret the most when running my Ice Cream Shop 720 Suites before we sold it is not utilizing our email list to the full list. And today we're going to be talking about the six money making emails that I've learned to utilize to bring in more money for your restaurant. So make sure you stay till the end so that way you get all these nuggets. Hey guys, it's Wilson here, your friend in helping you build a profitable restaurant. I'd love to give a major shout out to these two individuals for sending us so much love, support, and thought provoking questions. If you guys want to be able to be involved and get featured, make sure you guys leave us those questions, those comments in the description below so that way we get a chance to feature you. Now, without further ado, let's dive right in. Number one email that you should be sending is a welcome series emails. What is a welcome series emails? When people actually subscribe to your email list, whether it be through a lead magnet that you're giving away something, whether it be a discount, whether it be a promotion, whether it just be someone that is subscribing to your list that you captured in your restaurant, you need to send them and welcome email. Why is that the case? It is because you need to set the right expectation of the format that they would be consuming your content with. What types of content you're going to be sending them? What is the frequency that you're sending it to them? Because that really primes them to actually open up your emails. Otherwise, if you don't send them an email right after they subscribe, if you don't welcome them, then they have no expectation and in turn they just view your email as spam. This also acts as a really, really good trick because with the email deliverability, the first email, majority of the time people would open it because they want to see what's up, what's going on. If you don't send them an email that has a welcome signal to it, then they don't open it. If it doesn't open, then the email servers and the inside technology stuff would not recognize you as a legitimate sender and thus a lot of times it doesn't deliver it as well versus someone that actually opens up your emails. Definitely check out this example right here as a great example of a welcome email. Second type of email I should always send is the weekly newsletter. Why do you want to send your followers a weekly email? Because you want to stay top of mind. You don't want to be not talking to them for two, three months and all of a sudden you send them a promotion expecting them to come into your shop when you have a new product. We don't do that because who would want to just be yelled at and be like, hey, come over to my place. How often and how much connectivity do you have with them? Not that much. That's the reason why we want to be able to send them emails every single week. Some ideas of things that you can send would be weekly promotions or weekly new dishes that you have or weekly testimonials of how people are enjoying your restaurant and your food or even weekly community stars. Who are within your community is a rising star. Who is it that is super engaging that you want to be able to feature and these are all great examples of things that you can put into your weekly newsletter. Now the sky is the limit. Be creative. Be yourself. Have your own flair about what you want to feature within these newsletters. As an example, McDonnell does an amazing job with their weekly newsletter that you can definitely check it out right here. Another great example is Supermoon Bakehouse. If you guys find any value in this video, make sure you smash the like button so that way I know this is the type of content that you do enjoy. Now without further delay, let's dive back into regular programming. Third type of emails that you should be sending are the new promotions, new events emails. Now that we have warmed them up, now that we have been sending collectively, consistently many different emails, just giving, giving, giving value recipes and communities and testimonials. We have been seeding them. We have been showcasing what we're up to to our customers. Now is a time for us to be able to ask for something in return. Now we can ask them, hey, you know what, why don't you come by and check out our new dish and why don't you come by for a new event? And that's precisely when we do this. Now is the time, after we have warmed them up, after we have been popping up on their feed, they've been regularly reading our emails. Now we can ask for something in return. And this is when you're going to be sending the new flavor, new promotion, new event emails out to your list. Definitely check out this example of how Machiful does their promotion. Another company that does an amazing job is Gyo Kaku for their Father's Day promotion, which you can check out right here as well. The fourth type of email that's going to make or break your business, which I've always utilized is the survey type of emails. Why is that the case? Why do you want to throw surveys out to your customers? A lot of times you don't know your customers that well and it's always about consistently understanding how their taste buds, how their preference has been shifting. So in that way, we can serve them exactly what they want. If you have been through a few of my videos and you understand that I always preach about understanding your customers, and that's the reason why this type of email is something that I leverage all the time is to survey them all the time to see what is it that they're wanting, to see that if they want a new flavor or a new dish or what about your restaurant they don't like? What about your restaurant that they really enjoy? And that way allows you to be able to double down on the different types of things that they enjoy. Now once again, the questions that you ask are limitless. You can ask them about, hey, do you think that our ambience is nice? Do you think that our food offering is good? Do you want to have something else? Now you can be able to see the different types of response that they give you. And in turn, you can make the right judgment and to do the things that actually cater to your core demographic. A pro tip for you guys, definitely give them an incentive for them to fill in a survey and do not go overboard. Do not ask more than eight questions within your emails because if you do ask too many questions and if they're too long aired, people will not do it. You need to ask one word answers. You need to ask the multiple choice questions. You need to make it as easy and as simple as it is for them to complete your survey and after that incentivize them with a gift card to your restaurant. Fifth type of emails are the review testimonial emails that you should always be sending. And you shall receive. If you don't ask, you'll never receive. And that's the reason why every time when someone orders or they reserve through your website and when you have that information from your email, you should always, always, always reach out for them too for reviews. Ask them how is it like? Ask them to review on Yelp. Ask them to review on OpenTable. Ask them to review on your Facebook. These are all great testimonials that you can add within your own website, within your own Instagram profile that really elevates and gives authority for your restaurant. And that gives a lot more trust. And at the end of the day, it is trust that would bring your customers through the doors. Definitely check out how Yelp and OpenTable does it with their own email system that every time you go through their booking systems, they would always, always send your request for giving them a review. And that gives an example of someone and some companies that are doing an exceptional job and you should follow suit as well. Last but not least, we're into the sixth type of email, which is the re-engagement emails.  And now you're still not getting any reply. You're not getting a response from this type of demographic or this segment of your email list. What are you going to do? You're going to send them a re-engagement email. And oftentimes it is telling them to, hey, you know what?  Or, hey, you know what? This is a free appetizer. Come and check out our restaurant. This often acts as a great in re-engagement tool that your customers would see as a freebie and they would come and be enticed by the freebie to engage with you again. And oftentimes this changes a customer that has long forgotten about your restaurant and all of a sudden because of the free stuff, they become your customer again. They become a regular spender at your restaurant again. These engagement emails work like wonders, although not a lot of success rate, but they do work and I highly encourage you to test out what works for you. As a bonus, as requested by Jason, the guy behind the camera, he told us that, you know what? We should definitely include a bonus for you guys. So that's the reason why I'm doing the seventh email that you should be doing, which is the birthday email. Why is it so important? It's because everyone loves free stuff. So if it's their birthday, remind them that it's their birthday, tell them that happy birthday, and on top of that, give them an incentive. Whether it's a free appy, free drink, or free meal, tell them to come into your store, tell them to come in to enjoy a free meal. And thus, majority of the time, people's birthday, they have a whole group that celebrates with them. And what does that mean? That means you just got a full group of people consuming at your restaurant.  I really hope that you guys enjoyed this. So there you go, the sixth type of money-making emails that you should always consider sending to your email list. Something that I really regret not doing with our 720 suites, our ice cream shop, when we first began, we collected more than 2,000 emails and we rarely send them any emails. And emails are not dead, people still use them every single day. So definitely utilize these six different types. Be creative with them. Have your own flair, have your own character, and people are going to receive it with open arms. I really hope you enjoyed this video.

I mean, that's a Very good question. Okay. All right So but go ahead now you were saying you were so the sources I came out Yeah, the sources I came out and I know what I'm doing is only a small Small portion of what they're asking for right but according to that sources sought They're sound like they're gonna be tailoring Their solicitation based off of the sources sought Okay, so my so I'm hoping I was wondering if go con or if I know just some other people are interested in that source of thought so I'm hoping to to meet up with Partner up with them to go out there to be able to answer That solicitation that sources sought, okay We put it out What I'll do is I'll sit on an official email and We'll put out an official email So I'll sit out when I sit on my newsletter.

It doesn't tell me how you can help right doesn't tell me how you can help me What what if what if you did this what if? The same thing that the landscaping you saw The need for a drone service there What if you recognize the need for that? Like not maybe maybe you don't right today. I'm not saying you do it now, but The reason why I'm With the with the government The type of drones our fly is made in China So they they kind of frown on that so I'm trying to That's why I'm not really moving that that quickly in the government market with that So so that's why I so that's why I pivoted to it and pivoted towards a landscaping until Things change in the market or change in the government that will allow me to be able to highlight that skill set But but but I mean again, and then there's nothing wrong with that so Okay, well, we'll do let's do one step at a time Let's we'll put it out We'll send an email out and see people in the area and then we'll connect To try and you know go after that Okay, so and then we'll have them reach out to you directly Okay, and one last thing I mentioned to you about that the line of credit. Oh You didn't tell us the story Okay, so what happened I didn't know I didn't know at the very beginning about building up a Business credit I Didn't know I didn't think about that when I started with Govcom back in October But as I got more seriously involved with this I established our business credit three two or three months ago and Then that's when I was able to Start purchasing items stuff like that through Granger to build up that the line of build up our credit history and right and then I reached back out to IT support that's with done dealt with Dell, okay, and I was able to Get that line of credit as it actually was it I received the answer today. Mm-hmm. So Yeah, so things are looking pretty good. So if there's anyone that's in the market of buying Dell computer products Or software we're we're also are in that market as well.  I was connected with Dell. Okay, so if there's so so but we're strictly selling or Provide a solution Oh, are you in the IT telecom Facebook group? I Am okay. All right good. All right. That would be the place to put it Got it. All right, then. Hey, that's all I got. I know you're busy over there So thank you for your time and thank you for all that you do. Hey, and we did purchase your book We got you we purchased your book. I need to get an autograph from uh-uh. All right. We got to get Rafa, where you at? Let's find Rafa All right, Rafa is gone unable to join Rafa where you at? Yeah, Demetrius laptops. He said by the way, if you're just coming on now and you miss the eight o'clock eight to nine It was really really powerful powerful stuff. Um, I mean definitely that that IG we had a success story at the end with Moe and Oh, there you are Rafa, but Rafa, I think you can't It's not allowing you to join from your laptop IG live It's only allowing you on your phone It says you're not it says I'm not able to go live with you.  You have to do it on from your phone By the way, again, if you're just joining us, you're just coming on put in here Your city you're from the industry you're in again. I want everyone to use my my Sessions not just to talk to me and listen to me talk, but definitely connect with other people, right? Use this as a matchmaking event Use this as a way to network kind of plug yourself share what you do You know, listen if no one knows I know what you do. How do we know how to help you? These episodes are also we're taking these episodes and putting them on YouTube. So again people are gonna see this and We will be able to support you right someone you have no idea how many times folks come to me Say Eric I was watching this video that you had and this lady on there said that she needed blah blah blah blah blah and You know, I can do that. So definitely We have to do much more networking especially in the times of Kobe There's so many limited opportunities to really Just really like there's so many I mean there's so many opportunities out here For us to be able to connect like we used to in the past. So again I think that these sessions we should always be about networking should always be about telling us, you know It's you can't hurt to just plug yourself one more time, right? Hey, I'm in Houston. I do logistics.  No, I do. It's funny because I have a video that says that it says And Maria remembers it. It says I'll take the down and outters. Give me the C students I have a video.  I want the C students. I want the dropouts I want I want all the people I want I want all the flunky people Give me those people and bring them to me because you know what I realized They have a real reason to work harder because they don't have a college degree They may not have they don't have a cushy job and I don't even know because I didn't I was gonna say a number But I don't know what cushy number is anymore 50,000 60,000 whatever it is. They don't have that stability. So they got to get out and hustle and all I have to do is show them a marketplace and show them an opportunity and If you know if they have that that hustle type attitude or they have that fierceness Like they can do this and it doesn't matter about that felony and all that kind of stuff like I mean, it's just none of that matters So again, definitely makes her by the way you're plugging yourself.

So when someone in a community or a family is sick from something like malaria, what effects does that have on their life? Well in this lesson, that's what we're going to talk about. We're going to talk about malaria and it's burden. It's burden on families, it's burden on continents, it's burden on economies, on lots of different things. So we're going to start out with the example of a family. This family could live on any continent. This family could be really any size. And this family has two parents and let's just say they have two kids. They're maybe a young family. Alright, so let's take a little journey through maybe their case when they're bitten by a mosquito or when some members of the family are bitten by a mosquito and get malaria. How about we imagine then that parent one is bitten, so we'll put a little x indicating they have malaria. And maybe the same bug that parent one also bites one of the children. You have two members of the family who are not going to be healthy very soon. And so the first thing that's going to happen is that they're going to start showing signs of illness. And when you get malaria, you get headache, you get fever, you're vomiting.  You can get anemia, diarrhea, and hot and cold flashes. It's not very fun. And when you're that sick, you can't necessarily go to work. So immediately that is crossed out by one of the parents. Over here, you've got your kids who are going to school. And just imagine that maybe when this child gets sick, they probably don't feel like going to school anymore either. So immediately, you've now got two members of the family who are completely out of commission. They're probably laying in bed, and the other two are probably taking care of them. Now let's say parent two, maybe it's the mother or father, then has to work more. So you're putting that parent then in a situation where they can get exhausted pretty easily. And that is a very common thing that partners of people who have chronic illnesses have to take on more of the burden. So exhaustion leads to some other kind of sickness, and this lowers their productivity. So lowers their ability to work and things like that. So maybe eventually, down the road, this person can't work either. Maybe not right away, maybe not right up front, but it could happen. Now let's imagine that one of the children, or how would we take a concentrate on the child that stayed healthy? The child goes to school for a while, but because this person over here, parent number one, was a person who was making the family's money, that breadwinner is now gone, and so this other parent is now looking for resources. And so they turn to the other kid and say, well, can you take a break from school and work? So what has now happened is that another student is out of work, or is out of school and is working. And so that is distracting them from their education, which has long effects way down the road in terms of their success or their ability to earn money down when they're older. Now let's imagine that things take for this child here a turn for the worst, and their health gets bad. Well, it's very common with something like malaria for kids and young people, or people who are older with weaker immune systems, that they die. So you now have lost a family member who's a contributing member to not just the emotional life of the family, but also the economic life. And so with this person gone, you have now a lot less resources somewhere down the road. Down in the future, they'll not be able to take care of their parents. They'll not be able to help out with their brothers and sisters. They're not going to be able to work. So this person is now missing in the society, and that has a great effect on the community that they come from to the family that they're from. And it really then also increases the likeliness of these parents being sick, being exhausted, and not being able to work. And in this case over here, eventually maybe this child will, when parents are healthy again, might be able to go back to work, or might be able to go back to school, but that's not necessarily a given. So this change right here, this change that we just marked, might be something that's kind of permanent, which could really affect their ability to get job training down the road, or maybe do some kind of dream job that they have. Now say this person, the first parent gets healthy again. When they are healthy, let's say this parent now needs to try to pay for some kind of treatment. The family doesn't have very much money saved up, maybe they have just in savings just $8. Well to get a malaria treatment, it could cost quite a bit. You can go to the hospital and end up paying maybe $11. And so this barrier right here, this financial barrier is prolonging this illness. So this parent right here is going to be sicker for a longer time because they can't afford the healthcare that they need, or maybe they can afford the healthcare but they can't afford the bribe that the people at the pharmacy are asking for, or at the hospital. So you have a lot of different barriers to this person being able to get treatment. And if they can't get treatment down the road they could get anemia, you need to spell it right, anemia, which decreases their ability to work and makes them even sicker. So down the road they just get sicker and sicker until some day they somehow manage to get better and go back to work. But in that time the financial wellness of this whole family has gone down. This child has maybe worked even longer and this parent right here is more sick, is more tired and more sick and has been working harder than ever before. So you can see here these effects are all very practical. If one or two people in a family is sick it could have a very huge effect on the well-being of the others. And this spreads out to the community level too and it goes all the way up to the international level. And if you take a look at malaria in Africa you can really see the broad effects of a disease on a continent. Worldwide there are 250 million cases. And I'm going to put worldwide. That's a lot of people. That's actually about the population of Indonesia. Indonesia by the way is the fourth largest country in the world population-wise. So that is a lot of people. Now going back to Africa though, this cost is huge. There are a lot of estimates out there and this kind of thing is really really hard to calculate. But just if we look at the cost of actually just treating malaria in a year, it's $12.5 billion. It's just to treat. That doesn't include all of those costs that we were just talking about people not being able to work, not being able to go to school, all the other related costs of having other illnesses or transport things like that. None of that is countered in this. And if you take a look even further, kind of dig a little bit further down, some economists that it actually causes a 1.3% drop in GDP each year. Now that doesn't sound like much. 1.3 doesn't sound like much, but the economies work on sort of a margin. And so if you're not able to make this 1.3% this year, you're not able to make the growth that would happen on that 1.3 in the next year. And so over time this accumulates. And there are some economists out there that have kind of guessed that there's about a 32% reduction in GDP over the last 35 years. So that means that's basically a third of well-being. That's a third of your country's ability to make money just cut off. You can imagine that's just from malaria. That's not from HIV. That's not from any other diseases. That's just from malaria. So you can imagine then how much this is costing just in terms of money. And more than money and really much, much more important than money. If you take a look at the death toll, you'll be even more shocked because it's around 770,000 deaths per year. And it's hard to estimate this exactly. It could be anywhere as high as almost a million and maybe even as low as half a million. But any way you cut it, that is the population of a very big city or a small country. So those are the costs of malaria. That is a little bit of an example of the burden of disease kind of given in a smaller set of examples.

What is going on everybody, Estas here. Welcome back to another video. So in this video, we're going to be talking about a couple of stocks and ETFs that I'm personally watching and looking to trade for this upcoming week, the third week of March in 2019. And we're also going to be talking about some that you guys called out to me via Instagram via discord through the call out section or on the DM section on discord as well. So before we do get into all these topics of today's video, for everybody out there that doesn't know who I am, my name is Estas and I make videos here on YouTube dealing with trading in the stock market, investing in the stock market, mostly swing trading, day trading and long term investing. If you're interested in that, feel free to hit that subscribe button if you want to see further videos from me and if you want to join our community, if you do enjoy what you see in this video, feel free to do so. There's two links down below in the description box, one being the free discord and the other one being the free Facebook group, again, 100% free, very good resources in there.  I promise you that. And without further ado, guys, let me take a sip of my peach tea monster here. It's probably my favorite flavor right now.  So let's talk about what stocks and ETFs I'm personally watching here over these next couple of days. And then I have a list here on my notes with some that you guys ended up calling out and some other ones in there that I personally want to trade as well and that I want to talk about that I came up with. So let's start off here with Nvidia, the chip company and video, we all know they had an acquisition last week, I believe of about $6 or $7 billion. And if we look here on the live news tab, and this is something interesting on thinkorswim, for those of you guys that don't know or you're more new to thinkorswim, there's a bunch of different side tabs here that you can play with, one being the live news. Sure, it's not as good as some other sources, but if you're on thinkorswim and you want to see whatever is going on with that particular company, in this case, Nvidia, you can go here live news and you can see some of the top things being said, right? You can see, you know, S&P 500 posts 2.9% gain, yada, yada, yada, and then you can see that acquisition that I'm talking about here, I believe it was Melanox, they outbid Intel for Melanox and this actually pumped up the stock about 8% on this particular day here from about 147, I believe, up to about 160. And we did talk about this one in Friday's video, but for those of you guys that didn't catch Friday's video, I'm just going to go over this stock as well in this video and tell you guys why I see potential in it. So we all know the chip stocks and a lot of the stocks out there in the stock market, we're getting crushed from October to December, especially in video here, we see it was nearly $300 per share guys, and this stock nosedived from 292 all the way down to 125. So we lost half of its value and some, right? We notice, let's see, you know, this is not, this is probably about 125% loss in terms of invidious stock. And then what do we notice here, guys? It was not getting rejected by the 50 SMA and the 180 SMA, you know, any longer, like it was over the previous months, we got that double bottom, which is a very good potential reversal sign to the upside for any stock ETF future index that we're doing our analysis on. And from there, we ended up breaking out of the resistance of the 50 SMA and eventually breaking out of the 180 SMA, both two resistances that we were getting rejected by over the previous months. So we got the double bottom, we got the break out of the two critical resistances, right? These are signs that we're reversing to the upside. Everything's looking good, right? We got the pull, or the push up rather, the pull back for a higher low, meaning the uptrend pattern is beginning or rather, should I say continuing, and then we got the pullback, we got the break above the simple moving averages again. And we've been continuing pushing up in terms of invidious stock. And right now, we notice we're at a portion of the pattern where we're at a resistance at about 170, 171, from about the beginning of December, when we dropped from 172 down to 124, that obviously made the 172 level right where we are right now a resistance once we broke below that level. And now we're testing that level again. So we notice, NVIDIA is a bit overbought here, and we are at a resistance. So there's a couple of things that I'm looking to happen here. One, are we going to break out of this resistance to trend up to the next resistance, which in this case, is at about $171, which was a previous support back in the end of October to the beginning of November, or are we going to get rejected here? Are we going to see a healthy pullback, which I think is very possible over this next week, to the 50 SMA and the 180 SMA support areas where we did end up holding and bouncing above over the previous couple of pullbacks. We noticed this pullback here back in the beginning of February. We pulled back and held nicely on those moving averages, popped up, continued the uptrend. We noticed a little pullback here. We dipped a little bit below, but held the general area around those moving averages as well. And now we're popping up to the higher high. Are we going to pull back and hold a mutual, a moving average support here? I'm looking at that for a potential entry on Nvidia. So there's definitely two different scenarios here. Like I said, the pop-up here, if we continue to run up, or the pullback, which would open up a pretty sweet entry, in my opinion, as a swing trade on Nvidia. So those are a couple of things I'm watching here in terms of the stock, very, very attractive right now, in my opinion, especially with this massive margin of profit that it does have to offer here over the next couple of weeks and months, if we do continue to uptrend. Let's say we see a steep decline here. We see a break below this red trend that I'm showing you guys here that I have drawn out. That's going to be a huge break of pattern to the downside. We could potentially see some more bearish signs from there, but since Nvidia has gotten so beaten up over these past couple of months, I see more potential upside here than more potential downside. If we do end up getting down to these levels, that's going to be pretty scary and dangerous for the stock, and I'm not really going to be looking to trade it at that point. So that's Nvidia. Another one I want to talk about today, which I did talk about in Friday's video, if you guys did see this, and this is a little bit of a repeat, I'm sorry, but we didn't get too many people to watch that video. So I do want to get more eyes on these charts here, because these videos on Sundays, they typically do get more views. So just like Nvidia, we see that chip company got slaughtered. Qualcomm is also one that got slaughtered as well. We noticed over the past couple of months, the 50 SMA and the 180 SMA here on the 184 hour chart, these two levels have been acting as resistances, very, very, very clear here. And then we found our bottom at about $49, which if we look on these longer term charts, that ended up being a support stemming back from a couple years ago, right? Back in 2016, we held that level. Back in 2017, we did. Back in 2018, we did. And now, we're seeing another bounce at that level here. And for those of you guys that don't know, chip companies are cyclical, right? They're cyclical. They have time periods where they're doing very well. Other time periods where they're selling off, right? So this could be an area, a point in time where we're going to be headed back up in Qualcomm. Am I saying that 100%? Absolutely not, right? You have to do your research. You have to understand these stocks for yourself. I'm just here to do the technical breakdown to provide you guys some further insight. So we see that on the longer term charts. And now, we're finally seeing the break out of the resistance levels, like I said, of the 180 SMA and the 50 SMA here on the longer term chart. We're also noticing a bullish cross here over the past two weeks, which means the 50 Simple Moving Average is crossing above the 180 Day Simple Moving Average, which we all know is a bullish cross, meaning there could be some more potential green. There could be a lot more potential green here when we do see a cross like that. But similar to Nvidia, I want to see a pullback here in Qualcomm stock and a test, again, a retest on the 50 SMA as a support level. So notice here, every time Qualcomm has pushed to a higher high in its uptrend pattern, it's pulled back and tested that 50 SMA support. And now, we popped up to the next higher high here, the continuation of the uptrend. And we're noticing a little red candlestick here after market hours starting to form. So we could potentially see something like this go down where we pull back down maybe to 55, maybe to 55.50 before we continue to push up, right? Just take a look at this, you know, at these trend lines I just drew. This could be a potential pattern for Qualcomm, a little pullback and a little boost up for the continuation. That is what I'm looking at. But let's say we pull back and we break the 50 SMA support here, that's not going to be too good of a sign and I'm probably going to scrap Qualcomm and not even trade it if we do end up seeing that occur. So that's Qualcomm here, guys. That's Nvidia, two of the top stocks I'm watching. So I might as well just erase them off of my list here. And let's start talking about some of these other ones that I do have here that I personally see potential in and that you guys ended up shouting out to me starting off with EA Electronics Arts, Electronic Arts, however you say that, I'm pretty sure it's Electronic Arts. And this is a video game company, right? We all know this company just like Nvidia and Qualcomm. This one got slaughtered as well, just like many other stocks out there, guys, you know, $150 per share down to about $73 per share. It lost half of its value. And from there, we noticed a little double bottom here over the course of about a month and a half at $73. The next one had about $73 as well. That is a good sign that we're reversing to the upside and more potential push to the green, right? We got that earnings report. I believe this time period, remember when we were talking about it in those videos a couple months back, the stock tank from about $91 to $77 and it filled the gap perfectly. And now we got rejected by the resistance, which is a good sign that we're continuing the uptrend and just simply pulling back here. And now we're holding the old resistance at $91 as a new support level, right? We can notice that if I draw out or extend rather this trend line, we can see exactly what I'm talking about. And this is a good sign that EA is maintaining this level as a new high, and it wants to push up and retest the $105 level, which in this case is the next resistance. So this is a very, very good sign actually EA is looking super attractive. And I'm going to watch it or put it here rather on my active watch list. And let me just break it down a little bit further for you guys, right? We noticed that it broke up the resistance, it's holding it as a new support. And now we're trending in this horizontal channel here guys, very, very simple, right? It's like, we leveled up, we popped out of that level. And now we're just maintaining this new level looking to pop up even further to the 107 level. So I definitely see potential this week, especially since we're now above this 50 simple moving average. This is also another very important thing here. We noticed the pullback towards the end of February. And we noticed that this time period here, we were getting rejected by the 50 simple moving average, it was acting as a resistance. And now on the 7th of March, we got that nice big pump, this big green candlestick where we broke out of that resistance. And now we're treating it as a new support. And this was actually also a higher low from the previous, meaning that on a smaller scale basis here, we're hiring up, we're making higher lows and we're looking to continue to push up. So as long as this 50 SMA is acting as a support here, I do see potential in EA pushing up to 105, testing this next resistance here, if I do drag it out, you guys will be able to see exactly what I'm talking about. So EA stock, I'm watching that one very closely this week, it's looking very good. So CVS is one that a lot of people wanted me to talk about. And I know I actually looked at CVS last week, and I didn't really like what I was seeing. And we can see based on this chart here, CVS is on a clear downtrend pattern, the moving averages are all pointing down, they're all signaling bearish moves, right? They're all signaling bearish sentiment here. And by that, I mean the 180 SMA is pointing down, the 50 SMA is pointing down, we're making lower lows, lower highs, everything is pointing to downwards movement in terms of CVS. We notice the double top here, which is a bearish move, we can expect bearish downside if we see a double top in a stock, just like when we see a double bottom, we can expect bullish moves, right? A double top expects downside moves. So we notice ever since we got that double top, 50 SMA, 180 SMA, both of those have been resistance points, we tried fighting them, got rejected, tried popping above it here, got massively rejected after that earnings report here on the middle of February of 2019. And just this past week, guys, it's looking like we're getting rejected by the 50 SMA with potential of dropping even further now if we do end up fully breaking, fully pushing back down into the low $50 level. So in terms of CVS right now, you know, it's not showing any signs of an uptrend. It's not showing any signs, excuse me, of a reversal to the upside. So I really would not touch it, right? We're noticing the bearish cross of the 50 SMA below the 180 SMA. It's really not looking too good right now in terms of CVS for me to even consider trading it guys at this point, I would need to see a clear move up at least past this next resistance at about 58. And from there, we could potentially fill the gap up to the 180 SMA resistance. But still, that is risky. And at least in my opinion, because I'm trading, if I were to trade this, I'm trading a stock that's downtrending, right? I would be trading a stock that's downtrending, trying to fill the gap back up to the moving average resistance. That is kind of not my style, I would say, right? And I would typically stay away from that. If I wanted to get into a trade, I would need at least at this point, like I said, a break out of $58, but that's still not enough in my opinion, I would need to break out of this 180 SMA and 50 SMA resistance. You know, that's what I would ultimately need in terms of CVS stock. So D gas, let's talk about D gas very quickly, guys. D gas is a natural gas ETF. I'm sure you all know that right now. It trades based upon the natural gas futures. Whenever natural gas is going up, D gas is going down. But whenever natural gas is selling off, D gas is going up in price. So take a look here at natural gas and look what we're, you know, let me just show you guys what I'm looking at. So if we go here to the 30 day 90 minute, we'll be able to see this on a nicer basis here. So we've been talking about this channel, that natural gas has been trading within over the past month or so at this point, right? From about 275-ish up to about 290. This is where natural gas has been playing around, you know, over these past couple of weeks. And now we're actually noticing another resistance here within this little channel at about $2.85, where we noticed that we got rejected this past week. We had a couple of tries to break out of that point here on the 13th of March, the 14th of March, the 15th of March, and we did not get out of that level. And on a micro scale here on this 30 day chart, we're honestly seeing a break below the support levels of the 180s in May and the 50s in May. So at this point, guys, natural gas is looking a bit bearish on this timeframe of a chart here. So the next chart or rather the next level I'm looking at it to test here is going to be about 277. So we could potentially get another little sell off here and these futures open up at 6pm Eastern Standard Time. So at the time you're watching this video, you'll be able to see what natural gas is doing, right? Go to natural gas, take a look. What is going on now? Is it going to be trending to the lower parts here of 270? If it does, if it starts to trend into the low 270s, that's going to be super, super bearish, right? That's going to mean that we could potentially break out of this channel, which would open up a huge margin of profit on D gas because again, whenever natural gas is selling off, D gas is going up. So just keep an eye on that level guys right here. If it bounces and holds 277 and we slowly start to go back up, this could be the channel we're trading in. And let's say at that point, you guys could be a potential play, which is a bull ETF that goes up when natural gas goes up. So as of right now, D gas, it's kind of a mixed bag here. Anything can really happen at this point and it's not at a level where I'm screaming or rather it's screaming to me that it's super, super attractive, right? At this point, I'm probably just going to be on the sidelines waiting to see what direction natural gas picks to go. If we pick this way, obviously D gas is going to be a very good play. Let's say if we bounce at this level, slowly start to go back up. And so the 280s, maybe the mid-280s, 290s, obviously at that point, you guys is going to be the better play. Just keep an eye on the technicals here. What are we going to be doing? Very, very important. So ACB guys, Aurora cannabis, this has been the chatter, the talk of the stock market community here over the past week or so, because we all saw ACB guys had a 13-14% day, I believe, this day, from about $8 up to about $9 here. Absolutely amazing day. And at this point, we're looking like we're holding the resistance at $9 while we're clearly holding it now. It's confirmed as a new support level, right? We were talking about on the YouTube channel a couple of videos ago that if ACB breaks $8.22, it could fill up to $9. And that's exactly what ended up happening. And I was saying that if we break above $9 and hold it as a new support, which is looking like we're doing that as well, based on the past two, three trading days, we can see we held that level as a new support. We could potentially be testing the $10 level and ultimately, you know, all-time highs here in ACB, which at this point, are those the all-time highs? I don't want to misguide you guys. Yeah, I figured they were the all-time highs at about $12.50, right? So at this point, you know, ACB, a ton of hype behind it. We saw, I believe it was a billionaire investor either took a stake in ACB, he was talking about potentially investing in ACB, which is obviously something huge and especially in a developing industry like the marijuana industry, especially in small companies like these marijuana stacks. If a billionaire comes in, let's say he buys the stock, which would be crazy. He says he's going to invest in the stock or an analyst comes and upgrades it to a buy or something like that. That's absolutely huge for companies like ACB that are smaller companies, right? Very, very huge. So ACB at this point, you know, we saw Cron do it.   So ACB at this point, guys, you know, it is a bit overbought on a technical basis. I would love to see a retest at about 920 to 930. That would be the ideal situation before hopping in for a potential swing trade. But I understand that might not happen due to the hype here. We might continue to run up. And at that point, it would be a little bit risky to try and get in and ride the wave to the upside because we wouldn't be getting in on a dip if we were to continue to run up. And at that point, it's kind of a risk that are you willing to take that? Are you willing to, you know, ride that wave, not getting it out of dip, not getting it out at the best opportunity, you know, on a dip? That's up to you guys, right? So I'm going to be watching this one. I think it's very, very solid.  And, you know, that's just something I always, always do. So let's just take a look at the notes here again.  And UWT is an oil-based ETF. And I'm not going to go over this one too in depth because we talk about this in every single video. But for those of you guys that don't know, it trades based upon crude oil. It goes up in price whenever crude oil is going up in price as well. And we saw a move in crude oil this past week that broke us out of the 5750 resistance. And now we're looking to hold it as a new support level and fill up to the next of resistance here at about $61. So keep an eye for that pump up here that move up to $61, which would open up a ton of margin of profit on, excuse me again, UWT, right? If crude oil bumps up to the 60 level, 61 level, that's going to be pushing up UWT along with it. And at this point, UWT has a lot of room to the upside because we all know crude oil got slaughtered, UWT got slaughtered, and now we're reversing. So there is a bunch of moves upside potential here in terms of UWT. So SFM, this is one that I got called out in the Discord message group here. Let's see what this is looking like. So Sprouts Farmers Markets Inc. I don't know this company to be completely honest with you, but this is looking like the CVS chart, right? This one is downtrending, which is something that I don't like with my trading strategy. I like trading in stocks that have formed a uptrend reversal of the 50SMA crossing above the 180SMA on the longer term chart, further upside established. At this point, SFM, we noticed the bearish cross here, the 50SMA crossing below the 180SMA, which signals further bearish downside. We noticed that these simple moving averages, they're still acting as resistance levels, but this could be a potential play here if we do end up filling back up to the resistance level at the 180SMA, right? If we do something like this, you know, because just take a look at this, guys, take a look at SFM every time from what I'm seeing here, every time over the past couple of weeks or rather months at this point, every time we've pushed down to a low, we've rebounded a couple of days or a couple of weeks back up to the moving average, right? We pushed down, rebounded, pushed down, rebounded here. So is this another opportunity where we pushed down and then we rebound back up to the 180SMA? That could be a potential play here, but again, I don't like trading stocks that are downtrending even though they offer a rebound play, right? This could be a rebound back up from, let's say, $22.50 up to $24, which does offer 6%, but we could also be headed down to $20, which at this point is the support level, the next support level we could be going to, which is about 4%, 5% away. So unless we get a nice pump up this week coming up for a potential fill to the upside, or we even get out of this over the next couple of weeks out of the 180SMA, I'm not really interested in trading SFM, but if you're into trading downward stocks for fills up to the moving average resistances, you know, that could be a potential move for you. So TVIX, let's talk about this one very quickly, guys.  So let's say we do get a pullback in the markets this week, like I talked about on Friday's video. For those of you guys who didn't see Friday's video, I went into a deeper, in-depth market overview, market analysis from the past week. So go check out that video, you know, after this one if you're interested. But we talked about how the SPX every time it pumps up to a high, we see a little pullback, we see a little bit of a retracement, right? We saw a 3% pullback this past, you know, two weeks when we popped to that high. And now I'm going to be seeing if we're going to do the same thing, right? Are we going to pop up, maybe have a green day on Monday and then see a little retracement, which would offer, you know, a nice little potential for profit on TVIX. Because remember, whenever the markets are selling off, TVIX is going up. So I'm keeping an eye on TVIX for the potential markets sell-off. And Apple is another one I'm watching, although Apple is one that I'm actually waiting for a pullback on before entering. So we talked about this one in last week's video. It ended up playing out perfectly from 175 up to 185, that resistance. Now, are we going to get rejected here, pullback, hold the 50 SMAs of support to continue the uptrend and then fill back up to this resistance? Or are we going to break out and go to the next resistance, which is at 195, which is probably a little bit out of the realm here, out of possibility, because we do notice that we're extremely overbought. But never say never, guys, that could potentially happen. But I'm leaning more towards a little pullback in Apple due to the, you know, due to the big, big move that we saw from this low at 170, just about nine days ago, right? Nine days, guys, the stock has gone up $15 a share. You know, I'd be a little bit cautious there, but I still see a lot of potential in Apple because it is on a reversal uptrend right now. And we are at a point where we can pull back and get a better entry point. So that's what I'm looking at in terms of Apple, guys, Jnug and JDST. These are the last two that I want to talk about. And these are at levels right now. And for those of you guys that don't know, they trade based upon the Gold Futures. And the Gold Futures and these inverse ETFs, they're at levels right now where they can really go either way. And let me explain that very quickly. We notice here on the 184-hour chart, you know, the Gold Futures have taken a huge pullback from 1350 down to about 1280. And it seems like we found the bottom here, right? It seems like we found the bottom at this support level roughly at about 1280. And from there, it's looking like we're making higher lows, breaking above the 50 SMA. And it's looking like we're reversing to the upside. But we're also seeing some resistance at the 180 SMA here, which is why I'm saying this can really go either way. Are we going to get fully rejected here on Monday? And of course, the futures markets open up at 6 p.m. Eastern Standard Time where we'll be able to see these. Are we going to get rejected here and push to the downside where JDST is going to be the better play? Or are we going to fully confirm that push to the higher high off this bounce on the 50 SMA and the break above the 180 SMA, which would be a very bullish move where we could potentially play Jnug. So keep an eye on these futures, guys. Again, when this video is up, you'll be able to see what I'm talking about here. Notice and keep an eye on where we're headed. Are we going up here? Are we going down? These are going to be huge, huge patterns that you guys have to keep an eye on. And notice here on a smaller term basis, this could be a head and shoulders forming, right? We could be doing something like this, right? Shoulder, head, shoulder, which we could sell off even more. Or we can be doing something like this where we push out of that resistance and do something like that, right? These are possibilities. These are two scenarios that could potentially end up happening. So I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I'm going to end up ending it off here.

While still on the news, President Biden said the federal government will continue to partner repeatable organizations to provide quality health care to all Nigerians. The president added that repeatable organizations such as Rotary International are genuine partners in the ongoing efforts to eradicate all forms of polio and reduce the prevalence of maternal and infant mortality in the country. He commanded the organization for its various interventions in the country's health sector, including a new grant of about $14 million to level the WHO to provide technical assistance to the government on polio surveillance.
