The AFCP supports the preservation of cultural sites, cultural objects, and forms of traditional cultural expression in more than 100 countries around the world, including Nigeria. Well joining us to discuss this is Stephen Ibelli. He's the Public Affairs Officer, U.S. Consulate Lagos. It's good to have you join us. Thank you so much. It's really, really great to be here and as they say in Nigeria, how are you doing? How far now? How far now? Are you doing Kempe? Of course I am. OK. So it's interesting to hear about the Ambassador's Fund. When I saw some of the pictures online, I was very interested. Tell us, give us a brief background into the Ambassador's Fund and why the U.S. Government is backing this. Now that's a great question, Mary Ann. And so this really started in 2003. Congress passed this law where we fund cultural preservation around the world. And so we funded projects in over 137 countries. The program started in Nigeria in 2011. And since then we've done about 10 projects for over a million, a million dollars. And really the intent of the law and the intent of Congress was really to show respect and appreciation for the cultures around the world, for the countries that we work in, for the countries that we really operate in and really live every day. As diplomats, we don't just visit countries, we live in the countries, we breathe the countries, we eat the food in the countries. And so it's a great way to show that kind of respect. And it's a really wonderful program. It's interesting. As we know, the U.S. is a strong supporter of efforts to preserve these cultures, just as you said. And I read that you have so far preserved projects in several states across the Federation for the past four years, if not more. I want to know some of the states that you've gone to. The most recent one is Oshobu, which everybody has seen. But tell us why Oshobu most recently. Yeah, it's a project for the sacred grove. And it's important to remember this is a competition. And so organizations apply for these grants. And so there was a grant he called SIARC. They're an organization out of California, actually started by an Iraqi immigrant who cared about his country's heritage and wanted to pay that forward to other countries. And so they are working in the sacred grove in one of the shrines there that was unfortunately damaged. But what they're doing is really using technology. So it's like technological archaeology. And they're mapping the shrine, a 3D map. And so they will know from this 3D map then how they can reconstruct it. Because if you don't really have a roadmap, if you don't know, if you don't have a map in front of you, how do you know where you're going? And so this is the intent of this project. Are they working with people who are like, let's say, because where I come from you have someone who preserves shrines. So he's like a chief in charge of the shrine. And they seem to know more about the shrines and even the architecture of it. So are they working in collaboration with people like that? Yeah, no, absolutely. And really, I think the success of this program is the partnerships that we make. And so we have a partnership with the National Commission of Museums and Monuments. We have partnerships even with the king there, a Shobo sacred grove, and all of the organizations. There's also the Alrissa Trust as well. There's a trust there that we work with, a Duni Alrissa Trust AOT. And with all of those partners who are interested in really preserving the sacred grove, I think we've really had a wonderful project. And that's just one example of all the projects that we've done here. The average person who's watching obviously wants to say, well, I have a beautiful place in my area where it needs preservation. But you spoke about the competency part of it, and I want to know how that works because, of course, whoever's watching now is more interested. Why should people compete? Well, the applications are open until December 5th, and so we really welcome any of those projects to preserve. It's all on our website, which is ng.usmbc.gov. There's all the rules there, what sort of we fund, what we don't fund. For example, we don't build really buildings. We're more interested in the preservation of cultures. We've even done preservation of oral cultures. That was the Ifa oral heritage in Oyo State. That was one of our past projects. And so it's a worldwide competition, but Nigeria has done very well because Nigeria has such a rich heritage. It has such a rich history. We have another project, a really large one in Epe. That's my culture. Preserving the Ejebu Kingdom. Oh, that's Ekwe? Ekwe, exactly. Preserving the canals that are around and really defining where they are as well. We're going to be doing that with Lidar technology from the air. Very similar to what they're doing in Ashobo on the ground, using this kind of, again, technological archaeology. I think we think we're digging in the ground and we're dusting off fossils with our brushes, but it's really technical with archaeology these days. Interesting. One of the things that I find very disturbing about preserving cultures and traditions is the fact that we're basically just listening to it because we feel that we're more civilized now and so we tend to put them at the back. I've noticed that I've visited some places where the museums, the monuments are no longer really taken care of, these sites. I think two years ago I was visiting the old governor of the colonial governor's home. It was literally dead, the building was almost falling down. And so I'm asking, when these monies are being given, when the funding takes place, is there some form of education for people to continue to maintain those sites because it's not enough to make it look good and refurbish it if there be any form of refurbishing, but then after a while it's abandoned again. Is there a follow-through, are there people who make sure that that doesn't happen? That's a great question, Marianne, and part of a lot of the grants is training. In a shobo, for example, they're training a new generation about how to take care of these shrines, how the construction methods, how they actually do it, and so there's always a component and there's always a local component with our Jebo Kingdom grant. We're working with three archaeologists from Ibadon and also from Ife. So that is really the strength of this program are these partnerships that we form because it's not just an American NGO, it's not just the consulate, it really is a community. It really does take a village in some of these cases and that is how you propagate these into the future because if you really want to know where you're going as a culture, you need to also know where you have been and to be able to really hold on to that cultural heritage, to really savor it, to relish it, and to bring it out. And that's really what we try to do with this fund. You mentioned the sites, your sites where people need to go to get the rules and the regulations. Are there age limits? Are they open to non-governmental organisations or governments or government agencies? Yeah, they're mostly open to non-government agencies and government agencies, cultural institutions, museums. You see all kinds of different organisations apply. We always like to see the partnerships, so we like to see one organisation maybe working with another organisation as well. The minimum is $10,000 and the maximum is $500,000. So that's sort of the floor and the ceiling, $10,000 to $500,000. And the website really spells it out exactly what you need. Your first kind of do a concept paper and if that's accepted then we ask for sort of a more detailed budget. So again, it's ng.usmbc.gov, apply until December 5th. Okay, let's quickly talk about the places that you've visited, our sites from Oshogel. I saw some monoliths that look like some from my place and you did mention off-camera. So tell us some of the places you've visited. Yeah, that's the Ecom Rock Carvings and they're from Cross River State and also Jigawa State. And again, that shows you the breadth of this fund that we work north to south. And it really again depends on sort of the proposals. But unfortunately COVID disrupted that, but we're just getting back on track because the plan is that we're going to actually exhibit those rock carvings in Calaba at the National Museum, which is a wonderfully beautiful oasis of calmness and beauty. Have you been there lately? I was there a few months ago, yes. Yeah, but it's closed down. Well, it's in an old colonial building and we're doing some refurbishment there as well with the library. So it does operate, but they have a beautiful exhibition space so we're going to do it there. And then we're also going to do it at the National Museum in Lagos. Oh, great. So you work with the AFCT, sorry, I beg your pardon. The NCTDA, that's the Tourism Guys. Do you work with the National Museums and Monuments? It's mostly the National Commission for Museums and Monuments. That's our partners. And really that's the entity that's also responsible for the upkeep of these museums. And as a matter of fact, we're really getting close also to a cultural treaty with the government in Nigeria. And that will really set a framework for further cooperation. For example, the return of the Benin bronzes that are located in some museums in the United States. So we're really looking forward to making progress and signing that at a future date as well. Well, one more time, can we get that website before we go? Sure, ng.us embassy.gov. Okay.  Where have you visited and what meals have you tried? Well, I've been to most of the states in the south. The consulate of Lagos is really responsible for the states in the south. So Oyo, Ando, been to lots of cities as well, Port Harcourt, Oyo. Did you try the bole and the fish in Port Harcourt? I had the fisherman's soup in Calabod, delicious, very, very good. And so, yeah, I mean, we try all the foods everywhere we go. I think my favorite is probably catfish pepper soup like that as well. O'Fatha was good, a little hot for me, very spicy, very, that was a challenge. But I tried and succeeded I think to some degree. Have you tried Amala? Yes, I have, of course. Yeah, no, that's, you know, that's a signature.  So, yeah, no, but it's really wonderful. I mean, it's wonderful meeting the people. We have wonderful partners, really wonderful partners, who are passionate about all of the different things we do, whether it's women in STEM, whether it's the cultural preservation or whether it's working with young people or civic activism. We have over 8,000 alumni in this country from our program exchanges, and they are so active, so optimistic, and so energetic, and we just love working with them. It's beautiful, and I want to appreciate you. We're hoping that you keep us up to date with the more of these activities that you're doing across the country, because this is how we preserve our culture and continue to bring them to life. Absolutely. Tiffany Belly is, of course, of the US consulate here in Lagos. We want to thank you for being part of the conversation. Thank you so very much, Maryann. Thank you for the great work. Well, thank you all for staying with us. We'll take a short break now to hear what Nigerians believe as regards of Governors having a hand in the selection of their successors. We'll return, and I'll give you my take. We don't need to fight for ourselves.  We should not say go for that reason, for anything. We don't have any reason to say, we have this person that will enter if we leave there. No, I don't think so. I don't just think so, because the government is for the people and for the people by the people. So I think the people have to make their choices, not for them being there. Well, thank you all for being part of the conversation. Don't forget, be part of the political process. Do not just get your voter's card, but join a political party to the whichever one you choose. Wherever you want to join, whatever ideology you think the party holds, it would be good for you because you can be part of the decision making in your community, in your states and, of course, in the country. I'm Mary Anacorn. Thank you for joining us. Have a good evening.


Is this girl holding a tray of Fiji water the first meme of 2019? By the looks of the reaction to her on Twitter, I'm going to say yes. Unless you've been asleep for 24 hours, you'll know what happened at the Golden Globes. Glittery harnesses, Satan worship and a sandbag are roasting one enough to beat an unknown person holding bottles of water to the headlines. We now know the girl is Kelleff Cuffberg. She's a model with a sizeable following, which is growing quickly. Her red carpet sass even had people calling for her to win a role of best supporting actress, which maybe goes to say something about the state of the film and TV industry, either that or about the power of the internet. But is that enough to thruster into a life of meme stardom and beyond? Let's take a look at some past examples to find out. Remember Salt Bay? Of course you do. It was only two years ago that Nussret got Chase's salty elbows sprinkled their weight into our lives. And where is he now? Well, he's rubbing his salty elbows with Hollywood's finest, serving them gold steaks in his successful chain of restaurants. I'm worried about his blood pressure, though. Okay, how about Jeremy Meats? You'll probably remember him by his other name, Hotfellon. Yeah, you know, the guy that was charged with robbery but was offered a modelling contract while still in prison because his mugshot went viral. Well, he's since walked in fashion weeks around the world and has a son with Chloe Green, the daughter of Philip Green. What a family. Finally, 13-year-old Daniel Bragoli went viral for saying, cash me outside. How about that on Dr. Phil? Ignoring the fact that she was there with her mom who said, I want to give up my car, stealing, knife-wielding, twerking, 13-year-old daughter, Daniel has done pretty well as a musician. In our music video, she stood on a Rolls Royce holding a wad of dollar bills. Her mom will be disappointed that she's still twerking, though. You win some, you lose some. So there you go. History would say, Kelly has well-winned 12 months ahead of her.  It's 2019 and you know what I think we need. A film about a white plastic blonde, rich, traditionally beautiful woman. Breaking news, Margot Robbie will be starring in a live-action Barbie movie due to the release in 2020. Margot Robbie? Tell me more. Yep, Margot is lined up to play the iconic doll in a live-action film. Granted, the movie has no name or director or release date, but we're allowed to be excited, right? A Barbie film has been in the works for some time. Back in 2017, Amy Schumer was in the run into jump behind the wheel of the famous convertible, but pulled out due to scheduling conflicts. Anne Hathaway was also linked to the role last year, but Mattel, the company who owned Barbie, have come to an agreement with Warner Brothers and they definitely want Margot to play the part. And I can't for the life of me see why. Look, everyone knows about the negative stereotypes that Barbie represents. The doll was first brought out in 1959. It represents old-fashioned views of gender, image and class. And don't even get me started on all that single-use plastic. But Margot is known for her strong, powerful characters, so maybe she'll break out of the traditional box. Metaphorically. Some Twitter users aren't sure, though. In a statement, Margot said playing with the doll promoted confidence, curiosity and communication. I'm not entirely sure she was using it properly, but her heart's definitely in the right place. So we'll have to wait and see how the film develops, but I think the next task will be finding the Ken to Margot's Barbie. And in the name of challenging stereotypes, I know one guy who's keen for the role. Hands up, who woke up this morning and saw Twitter going mad for a Blackpink world tour and thought something along the lines of, they're actually coming to London and I'm like, God, I'm gonna cry. Turns out, lots of you did.  Well, oh, Ran, let me tell you. Blackpink are a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment with 14 million Instagram followers, 17 million YouTube subscribers, almost 600 million views on one video alone, and now the announcement of a world tour. That probably the biggest band that you've never heard of. They're made up of Jennie, the main rapper and vocalist. She's also known as the Princess of YG. Then there's Jisoo, a lead vocalist too. Lisa is the main rapper and lead dancer and the youngest member of the group. And last but not least, Rose. She was born in New Zealand and is now the main vocalist and lead dancer. The group launched in 2016 with their square one EP and have since released further EPs and their full Japanese studio album In Your Area, which coincidentally is the name of their world tour. Their biggest single, Do Do Do Do, made history as the highest charting song ever from a K-pop girl group on the Billboard Hot 100. They've also got their own TV show, were nominated for a Teen Shortest Award and are making history by playing at Coachella. Oh, and they've collabed with Do A Leap Up, obviously. As with every global sensation, their army or fans have a name, but you can only call yourself an official blink if you've committed to a life of standing. So, Oran, are you in?


Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the stocks we'll show a market review of the spy. There was a minutes out today at two o'clock so I thought I'd review this. The market's going to close bullishly today. I did think that that would play out that way this morning when I knew the minutes were going to happen. I said there's one of two things that's going to take place in the minutes today when I was reading this chart before, and it didn't even happen, before the open. I said it. And then it just was confirmed into the day's trading. I said that the market is going to do one or two things after the minutes. They rally over the high, continue crazy like over the high, or come down, do a bottoming tail into the minutes and still close bullishly on the day. And I said the tail could actually be big because it turns out the tail wasn't even big. Tail was not even large that it made flashdown quickly then in the minutes and then rallied up and we're closing bullishly today with a nice bottoming tail. The fact that the body is red is not that significant here today. So the first reaction was up, then down. Never broke the low, the low the market had set in the morning, even when it broke down in here and then it held in here very quickly. And we actually could still even close with green. It's going to be very, very tight. Market closes in like 16 minutes here, 15 or so. The market's holding very bullishly. And I know that everyone thinks this is, we're coming in, but we're honestly really not going to. We just don't see that even happening at all actually. And it could have happened, but, and if it had, we'd still be bullish, but, and if we had, we still wouldn't have crashed, which we're not going to do. The market is not going to crash. The market is higher. Everything that's happened here and transpired is lifting the market. It's new money coming to the market and that means new buying. That means if it's new buying, it's institutional money or paramoney buying the market up and it's not going to take an immediate exit once it just took an entry. So that's really the correct way to look at this positioning. I did a swing trade letter on this. The second letter was on the spy and it was a good call. I've already gotten to the target and the market is tough here for traders to know what to do with if they don't know how to read gaps. I've been saying this all along though, and I can't fault anyone for finding this difficult to buy because if you don't know how to read gaps, you think you're buying something here that's extended, but it's actually not.  And what day traders and core traders and swing traders are trying to do is short this market. I think it's extended. I think it's a fail breakout. I think it's going to come in. I think it's due for correction. I think the market's going to crash. And I think it needs a reversal, but it's just not going to play out that way. And it's making it tough for people unless you have a specific day trading strategy or swing trading strategy that you do every day where you don't need to rely on the market, you're probably getting chopped up. So I'm really happy that I know how to train number one and I know how to trade gaps number two, which work on their own, regardless of the market direction. Now that's not to say that if the market is power trending down in them in a shorter power trending up, if I'm in a long, that the market wouldn't help lift that stock to the dream target in either direction. But really quality, golden gaps should work on their own, go to the target regardless of what the market is doing. And I'm talking regular targets. I'm not talking about dream targets here right now, all right? Now, the target for the spy is 208 is the next target and then 212. 210, 212 is realistic for the end of the calendar year. And we are not that far from that. The thing is that people that want to go long but didn't or were long and already got out are looking for a full on pullback, something like this. Deeper, same or more so like this to go long. I don't think it's going to set up that way, okay? So even people that see this market is higher, that want to go long, feel they can't go long here and they're going to miss it. They're waiting for a pullback to support to buy. That's not the way that I take entries and stocks, long, okay? Anyways, so I don't think it's going to set up that way. For the people that even know the market's higher, I don't think it's going to set up that way. I'm pretty sure it's not. I'm reading all this trading action here. It's actually just doing it each day that it's doing whatever it's doing here when it's trading. This has happened today. And that's what's making it tough. The actual market is so strong that it's not even going to come down that way to set up as a pull-on to support, nor does it have to do that. Why? Because of the gaps. And the trading action on the day combined with the gaps, the price action read on the day combined with the gaps, is what's telling me that actually this is not extended, is definitively higher, and it's not doing anything wrong. And actually what I thought the market would do today in the minutes turned out to be true. And this looks like the market's going to follow through higher tomorrow. Again, very challenging for traders to buy in here. Intra day, I get that, but if you wanted me long overnight, you were ready, could be long in the market and stay with it. Now, there's also people that don't think the market's higher, and those people want to short this market. They are not going to give it up. They have not given it up. They tried to come in today. The market was rent today at one point in the morning. I don't think they're giving it up at all this year. I think the market, every time it continues to make a new high, the shorts will come in an attempt to short the market. You see how every attempt that's being made to do that is failing, though, and continuing to push the market higher. Anyways, I don't think the shorts are going to give up on shorting this bullish market until somewhere into 2015. I don't know when, and I won't till I see it. But the shorts are going to keep trying to come in that think the market's going to crash and fall, and they don't want to miss the moves, they keep grabbing it. So there's a difference between predicting what something's going to do and actually waiting, seeing it set up, and then just doing it. So you could predict what something's going to do, which is what I do. And then when you see it set up that way, you predict you do it. Like I did that today with the trade that I took in the morning. I said, this is exactly what this needs to do, and if it doesn't, I'm going to take it. And I actually know what things you're supposed to do. And this market did what I thought it was supposed to do today, actually. So like if I had wanted to go along the market to take more of a long position today, if I was overnight the market, I would have said, this is what it needs to do. Come down, hold it in the minutes, rally, hold, close, bullishly, and continue higher tomorrow. I would have bought the market today. I know this sounds crazy, but you could have bought the market today. It was an ad position for the market today. And just in this look here, okay? The people that are trying to short this market they're simply guessing the top, which is not a professional way to trade. It's just not, okay. I wouldn't be short this market at all, like not even consider it at all. And the fact that people are so convinced that it is going to come in and fall and drop actually helps give me conviction of the fact that it's going to continue higher because professionals would never read this market that way. Never, never, never, never in a thousand million years. And I do consider myself a professional. I am a professional. I'm looking at the information. I am not so stuck on my bias that I don't double, triple check myself. I'm always doing that. I always know what it needs to do to stay in what it is in the formulation that I see it. And then if it does it, I say, yeah, there it is. There's a confirmation. Again, a confirmation today that the market's not coming in was the way that it reacted in the minutes, the drop down this morning, which failed to go lower and didn't go anywhere. It even broke yesterday's bar and didn't go anywhere. And the market closing bullish now in the next 10 minutes today and probably opening neutral tomorrow and rally or gap up tomorrow and rally. I would be surprised tomorrow and gap down tomorrow depending on where it would gap. I would still probably double, triple check to see if it really was anything to short or just go long in. So, or something else I was going to say next. Anyways, those are the two opposite ends of the spectrum that traders are reading this market of things they're doing. Then there's me, which says the market actually is a good buy. You don't wait till it pulls in for a buy. If you want to go long, you read the gaps and take the trade and you should be long in the market already if you want to go long it or you could still go long it. And the market's higher, aggressively so. I'm going to repeat. In September, I said in the next four to six months the market's going to continue to make a bullish move that's going to be bigger than anyone's expected. Then I saw after that certain numbers had hit it's already hit some of those numbers. Then after that I said the market is going to continue to run and be bullish the entire year of 2015 unless I see something that changes that happens to change that in next year. I don't see that happening. I'm seeing the market's going to run all next year. That's what I'm seeing in advance. This is a prediction that I'm making. Based on reading the price action, I am very good at reading things live and today. And I'm also very good at predicting things far in advance that have not even happened. Why? I have a sixth sense on how to read price and I'm reading gaps well. And I'm seeing what people are attempting to do with this market. And I'm seeing what's really happening here with the real money that moves the market, that makes the market, which is buying the market right now and is going to continue, okay? And the fact this is a new entry port to go long means it's not going to end or halt anytime soon because that is not how institutions look to take positions in things. Look, this market is going to close at the bottom until today, bullishly. Just like I said, seven hours ago, I just conclined this market so well. So a lot of people, you know, been emailing me about the fact to say the market's going to come in. One, even if the market had closed red today, let's just say it closed the way it was in the morning. It would have had no meaning. If the market had closed red today, I know low from yesterday's bar, it wouldn't have had any meaning. The market still would have been higher. Just one red bar does not mean you go in and short something, okay? And I didn't read this gap today as bearish. I read it as neutral. Neutral, okay? We closed on Tuesday, 205.55. These are areas. And we opened today at 205.31. That's a neutral open. The market's going to close with a green body. Look at this. Seven minutes into the close. Here it goes. Look at this. Jeez. And the other day, I called the market bullish yesterday and it ran apart trying it all day. Here, see this? The other day, in the morning here before the pre-market, I said, one of these days this week, the market's going to have a crazy, crazy, crazy big green bar. Now we did power trend on Tuesday and we did have a nice rally and we did have a big move in a big bar and up to the next number 206 are thereabouts. But I'm still seeing a massive green bar that is somewhere going to get going here. That bar that I'm seeing hasn't really totally gone yet. And someone emailed me that yesterday's bar trading the power trend was a failed breakout. There's nothing failed about this. The market rallied all day and power trended up. You can count the red bars in the 15 minute chart in this market into the close. That's not a failure of anything. It's a continuation follow through of a bullish market that's getting bought. There's no failed breakout. There's no failed anything. That's real. That's as real as the Manhattan skyline I'm sitting looking at right now and I'm out of my apartment in the George Washington Bridge. Real is all get out. Along with the strength of this market. Look how strongly this market's going to close today. Look at this. Let's just see where it closes. Market's going to make an attempt to close over the high. High on the minutes was 205.55. One of the things that experience has taught me and this is something I don't know how to teach people. I'll probably figure out how to teach people this at some point because usually what happens is I see something I figured out that I don't know exactly how I know how to do something and then eventually I formulate it in a way that I can intellectualize it to people to teach in a class or speak it. But I do know what things need to do to set up what they need to do and I see them and I did that today in the short with the CLF and I saw this here the way the market needs to set up to continue higher too and it did it down into the close. So I do know what things need to do to be correct. I don't know how I know that though. This is above and beyond the gap rating that I know to rate the gaps for the directional bias and the targets and the entries. This is something else which helps you make sure you see what you need to see before you take the setup. For example, like if I had wanted to go on the market today, I would have gone long in here. Now I didn't but I'm saying if I had wanted to, or even the low in here at this reversal time right around lunch at 11 o'clock with the bounce because I just knew we weren't going anywhere with that today. And I wouldn't be surprised if people shorted this market today, have a stop over the high of yesterday's bar, think that that's made a top. It doesn't play out and the market rallies and falls through higher tomorrow. I won't know until I see the gap in the morning. I just will not know because I read the gap from the morning and that's how I see what we're doing. And I don't know if we're gonna gap up tonight or down tonight or neutral tonight and I don't know where we're gonna gap tomorrow but I knew where we need to close today to follow through higher and every transaction, every price action that has happened all in here the last two weeks is challenging as it is for people to read. I understand it very clearly. I must say this market is perfect. When I look at something and I say, oh, this is perfect, it's perfect. It seems like something that's hard to read or hard to trade but as far as I'm concerned, it represents the way it's playing out. It's absolute power of strength, a pillar of strength and it's perfect in my mind and my eyes the way I'm reading it. And people aren't gonna give up shorting it. And every time someone emails me that they think it's lower, it just helps strengthen my conviction that it's not. So it is almost four o'clock. Market's gonna close very strong today. We'll see where it goes. Buy is bullish. I don't know where we're gonna gap tomorrow. We'll see. All the targets set out there are still in play. Everything looks good for this. And we'll see where we go into, well, next week's the holiday week. Yeah, yeah, we can continue to rally into the holiday. But we can just continue to rally into the holiday actually. Rally, rally, rally, rally, rally tomorrow's Thursday. One week before Thanksgiving, not even that, five days left before the holiday. Market's closed Thanksgiving and a half day Black Friday and no one should be trading that Friday afterwards. And next week it's gonna be as slow as beans. So the reality is that market could just continue to rally here on low volume even next week. This is Melissa with the stockswush.com. If you'd like more information on the next golden gap class, it's this weekend. November 22nd and 23rd, where you can learn the rating system from me. Learn how to take the entries, learn support and resistance and how to read charts properly for directional bias. And if you learn gas from me, you would never short this market. There's no one in the room that's short this market. That trades with me every day that's here's what I say every single solitary day about this market and then turns out to play out the way that I say it. There's no one that is questioning that at all that has been with me now for any length of time or taking the class. So I think understanding gaps helps you in so many different things. Trading the market, trading things opposite the market. ETFs, reading gaps in stocks, doing stocks if you wanna do options for the directional bias in something. Swing trading, core trading, date trading. There's just so many different things you can do with the rating system that I created. I never created it for anything other than myself to date trade gaps. And now here I am, the system has so many uses and so many people are doing so many different things with it and you can do different things with it. Why? Because it really, really reads power of money and stocks in the market. And that is a powerful, powerful thing. People ask me about the cost of the class I chuckle because the stuff that I teach in the class is invaluable because no one else is teaching it. It is so important to understand how to read a stock or the market. There is nothing more significant in any chart in existence in the US stock market other than gaps to read price. It is the reason that I've called this market accurately and can see how things need to set up and trade and the directional bias for them and the entries and reading support and resistance rate. And everyone I think that day trades needs to learn how to read gaps and people that don't will continue to only buy into support and short of resistance and see a 50-50 or less than that basically profitability, which is not enough to pay yourself and make any real money. Look at that little bar that just happened there. I should say a little. Look at that beautiful little there. That was the close. Oh, I'll just hear a lot, look at that. Have a great day everyone. Email me if you're interested in the class. Melissa at thestockswish.com. Have a great day.


I hope life finds you well and healthy In British Columbia right now headed east Got a couple more deliveries to make today, and then we start heading Towards the house. I got a load that's waiting for me on the way there. I'm gonna pick up drag that thing home and Get home and start doing some prep again things seem to be heating up every day, but Like I said yesterday, you have to remember please remember my videos are about a week behind Now a lot happens every day So it might be completely different by the time you're watching this. So just keep that in mind Home is still safe and healthy For a case worldwide is still rising I've heard reports that China might be on the verge of a second wave. I hope not, but It's hard to know what to believe nowadays, you know, it's Everybody is saying different things I don't trust that government over there at all to tell the truth about what's going on So all I can really do is see what's going on in our part of the world And so far it's getting worse But maybe maybe if we're lucky by the time you watch this it'll be getting better Let's hope So I'm coming up to Salmon Arm British Columbia here It's where I gotta stop make one stop then we go to Vernon British Columbia a little way south and then I go to Kelowna, BC Little way south more and then we go empty into the next province to the east to Alberta Well, look at this car turning in front of me here, what is that? Nice What that just looks like a Chevy of some sort There's a puppy in the back window just hanging out on the dashboard in the back We're in Vernon, BC again here, and I have an empty step-deck trailer behind me I'm trying to keep my mind off of everything today and just Trying to get the job done. So we have this This job done and now we're headed to Alberta. It's about 800 kilometers 500 miles empty But it was either that or no freight So it's Saturday today. I'll be there. Well, I could get there late tonight But I'll probably stop somewhere along the way maybe in golden or something. I don't know Spend the night sleep in tomorrow relax and make my way towards there so that I can load on Monday morning Some kind of utility trailers and those are going back To Winnipeg. I just got to drop them off at our yard. So far this truck is running. All right I've got my eye on the water pump that we're having problems with yesterday That's going to need to be replaced, but it's still doing fine. It's just Needs attention soon So I'd rather have have the guys at home work on it so that I can be at home with my wife during this crisis While my truck gets worked on It's the whole plan I don't want to be in a hotel right now I don't want to be anywhere but home right now or in this truck Even a hotel room. I don't know if they're cleaning them properly the guy I know that they say they are but you know, what if they missed one of the germs and I get it Rather just go home We've got to get this injector looked at too. It's just a little cranky. It's not like I have a big problem with my injector it's triggered my Engine fault very briefly a few times, but it goes off right away But that does mean it needs to get looked at so let's hope there's no big problems with it on the way home As you can tell for now. We're still still doing fine. So probably I need to Replace that so hopefully just one one injector that needs replacing my water pump and I can be out of there for Dare I say around $1,000 I Really don't want to spend more than that right now. I don't want to spend anything right now I want to spend it on food But in order to spend it on food I have to be able to make money to buy more food and in order to make money I need this truck to run So it's a dilemma you see I Have to spend money to make money In the middle of a pandemic What can you do? We're still doing fine. We're not worried at all all of our families I mentioned that today already all of our families are well all of our friends are well My dad is still trucking which worries me a little bit Hopefully by the time you watch this video, he'll be at home No, it worries me a little bit with him Trucking around I know he's being safe. He's being careful and you know, it's Cleaning all the surfaces and everything making sure that he's not gonna catch anything but I Don't know I'd I Know he's got to work just like me be really nice if he could be home though So maybe by the time you watch this he'll be at home I'll have to talk with the family and see what he thinks and See what they think and maybe in the coming days Maybe after this trip, he'll be able to stay home till till this is over It's right it out until the worst of it's over, you know, he's turning 65 this year I don't really might be mad at me for telling you but I'd really like it if he'd be at home We'll see see where it goes I've got to keep trucking, but I'm the younger one, you know if I got to help him out I'll help him out pull together as a family support each other and Protect them all I'm hoping that you're watching this video right now in the future and everything's better and you're sort of like wow That was bad. I can't believe how much he was panicking or how much he was worried or how worried he was at the time Things were just fine You know, I hope you're not watching this in the future Looking at me wishing I was panicking more Ah, don't worry about us. You just worry about yourself. Okay?  The time is 6 30 here. Are we in Pacific time? Yeah, we're still in Pacific time very specific time We'll stop at the husky ESO the ESO husky however they want to call it make myself a sandwich at the same time This road this specific I don't think you know what road I'm on Karen. I don't think this road goes more than two kilometers Get your stuff together That guy is shoveling water Park parking just off to the left except that one guy is taking up the whole lot though I don't know why he would park there like that I'll figure it out. I'll find a parking spot and we'll talk to you in a bit Certain death lays over that cliff to our right. I can see a train down there Anybody looks like a little toy train. That's what we could do to move traffic and freight through our Through this mountain range. This mountain range is exceptionally big and rugged. I Really think we could do better than this but you know, it's amazing how all of our resources in the country Sort of being focused on the country, right? Sort of what we've been wanting make for them to finally change the instant policy I know that wasn't the intention of it But if we would just spend more of the money in the first place here, you know, we could have a nicer road through here What's the word I digress For the edge here You know, they do put up the little baby barrier just just in case at least they did that right? I mean the Alaska Highway. It's more dangerous than this and they don't have they don't have barriers on the side of the Alaska Highway I've been up there once Britt was with me.  I went through there during a snowstorm No where to stop you just got to keep trucking. You don't want to stop in the middle of the road Right got to keep slowly trucking along man That was that was some white knuckle driving my first time up there, too So I didn't know the road at all, but I'm here to tell the tale. I I lived to I Lived another day survived to live through the pandemic The corona apocalypse Have I said that yet? I've said that have you just fly right through here I checked on my water pump when we stopped there at the yes, so husky and still doing good still doing good so far So we'll see Okay, this automatic transmission. That's why on my new truck I am definitely having a manual is automatic it always wants to bog down the engine like as soon as you're not giving it just a little bit of gas a little bit of fuel Like bogs it down to 800 rpm and then when you need The throttle you press on the throttle I have to sit it has to sit there and think for like five seconds to figure okay, okay He wants to go somewhere else to go faster. How much how much fuel do we need? Let's do the calculations Okay, we've calculated how much fuel we need all right now Which gear should we need maybe five maybe four? No, I think six no too low. Okay, let's try five still too low Let's try four or oh that one worked. Okay good good That's how my automatic transmission thinks That's why I was telling you my live chat last week that it's just a whole mother can of worms and plus I need to get my Transmission fluid changed when I get home as well so But whatever we got lost to worry about that's that's life, right you all got stuff to worry, but I'm not the only one I'm not thinking or saying like I'm the only one. We're all going through some tough times These are just my tough times. I get to share them with you Don't worry, there's a lot of good mixed in with it See we can find a parking spot here I wasn't gonna stop near Cochran at that petrol pass But they had a crazy blizzard out that way and I just wanted to get away from there And a good thing I did because now we don't have any snow here There's some snow on the ground, but it's not falling at least Find a spot to park. I found the primo trucker Josh spot I'm not gonna show you where it is.  Let's just say I'm on my own Off in the back. It'll be nice and quiet I know I'm kind of panicking and I know I feel kind of whatever like everyone's a little panicked with this whole situation going on right now, but I Hope I don't turn into like a hypochondriac. That just thinks that he's sick all the time But I think I'm just really tired right now and I think I'm gonna feel a lot better tomorrow, but
