and. The Traders Edge. With Steve Rhodes. At 1<PHONE_NUMBER>. Or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. The Traders Edge. Now Steve Rhodes. Good afternoon folks welcome to the August 16th the magical Monday edition of today's Traders Ed and I'm your host Stevie Perseverance Rhodes who absolutely knows that each of us should always be pioneers of our future versus prisoners of our past. Hope open out there's having a great day. Let's make sure we have an extraordinary one of the easiest way to do that is to always remember that life is happening for us. Not to us. That's right when you then make that one little two by four shift it means we can find the gift in the hands of the people that life is going to toss at us. Now today you and I were going to go check on the circumstance of these markets will go figure out with the bulls and bears what those buyers and sellers are communicating to you and I just past one o'clock in the afternoon. I want you know I'm absolutely grateful for your presence here. More important that that's this. During this next 60 minutes I'm here to talk to you about what's going on right now. I'm Steve Kent. Then we've got to cover there too. Go ahead. Send me an email. Send it early. Send it to Steve at tfnn.com inside the subject hitting please put radio show question and in our Tigers Den any ping will do. So let's go ahead get this show started on a magical Monday. Of course this is Tiger Financial News Network. I'm Steve Rhodes. Welcome to less show all this news and so today I brought you out to talk about boxes. What's inside the box? This is $1.809 Nasdek 100 104 Russell's off 13 semis down 29. You've got gold trading out at 1788. That's up $9.80 Silver's up. Let's basically flat trading at 2378 Light's recruit down 90 cents 6755 is the print lead the charge dollar wise the upside intuitive surgical 11 bucks Dexcom 11 bucks Charter communication about 10 Mercado, Libre, 3%, 59 bucks, Amazon, 46 bucks, one and a half percent, Biontech, 44 or 11%. So certainly we have things to look at, of course I want to look at what you want to look at. So let's do this. Let's take a peek around the markets. There is some new information, valuable information for each of us, though that valuable information with regard to the equity futures contracts coming from their TAS market profile. So what do we know? We know that the ESMINI, you're a left-hand panel out there, is attempting to form a brand-new, bullish-structured profile. So if price does head lower, you would expect an anticipate price-defined support in the 4407 to 4421 level. If price closes above 4463, well, then it's back off to the races. Now this market profile will not be completed or confirmed, I should say, until this evening, 6.01 to be exact. So this has been solid. When I say solid, this profile formed just past 6 o'clock last night and it has remained steady, steady eddy out here, so I'm thinking that this profile is going to hold. The NQ, today we've seen it move all the way from basically the high to the low. So it's just in your consolidation, some very structured profile, a close below 14.919, which suggests lower price, but that's not where we're at right now. The Dow, the YM, this profile has changed numerous times. It now, this morning, as an example, at about 8.30 this morning, it was a bare-structured daily profile. It has now turned into a bullish-structured daily profile. Support would be between 34.837 and 34.922, resistance of 35.519. The Russell 2000 has not generated a new profile, price has just been consolidated between it, the bottom at 21.36 and the top at 22.83, although neither of those have really been hit for a couple of weeks out here. So just a consolidation sideways inside the Russell 2000. So there are your new profiles, they'll be very helpful, they'll be very helpful to anybody who's trying to take a short side or anybody trying to take the long side out there. What else do we know? If we take a look at the ESMini as an example, we know that the only profile that's holding it back from continuing its move up to 45.67 is this daily timeframe. So if you're asking me what's the upside potential, well, the upside potential is a close above the top of that profile, again, 44.63, in which case we would then say price is likely targeting 45.67. That is coming from the monthly timeframe chart, and that is the 2020 swing points, the high and low out there, and that would be the expansion of those. We take a look at the NQ, same type of scenario, although the NQ has two profiles that are resistance that it needs to clear. The daily, which is priced at, sorry about that, 15.136, and the weekly, which is at 15.190, and no, that's wrong, 15.172. Good Lord, Stevo. So really 15.172, I'd have to say, is a real key mark out there because a close above that is going to suggest to move up to 16 to 488. Couldn't bust them down, which would have tried to do this morning. Maybe it's going to go try to bust them up. And then now here, again, the only profile right now that's a resistance level is the new daily profile that's attempting to form. And again, that resistance level being 35.519, support down at that 34.837 level. So that's what's going on in the equity markets. Well, there's one more thing I suppose we should take a look at. That's that spot volatility X. Well, we can see here, if you're looking at the bottom left-hand panel, what you'll notice is price tagged, the 50-day expansion moving average, which is currently printed at 1749. The high of the day has been, high was 1771. It's tested and it's rejected. That's bullish for the ESMini. If at day then, the spot volatility X closes above the 50-day expansion moving average, then what you and I would anticipate is to move back to that support level. Assuming again that the profile holds, that would be between 4407 and 4421. Okay, what else we want to look at? You know, with regard to the general markets, that's pretty much where we need to be. Let's go take a look at our first question that is coming in. The first question coming in from Alex. And Alex writes in, he says, Steve, please show a buy price for Amazon. Absolutely. So let's take a look at Amazon AMZN as a ticker symbol. Well, we know about Amazon. It's in an A to B equal CD to the downside, Alex. So not until we see some type of bullish reversal candle on a daily basis will Amazon generate a buy signal. It's made the 1 to 1.6 when 8, A to B equal CD. That price projection, 32.68. It's trading right now at 32.47. That's as price is likely headed to the 1 to 2 A to B equal CD in the 31.64 level. Price is below the bottom of the weekly profile as well. If we pull over Amazon's other charts, see if there's any other signals out here. And on the daily basis, we can see that price has made its way back to its 39 breakout level. That's 32.18. So Alex, there's a possibility that this is where a bottom will be formed. If that is the case, you will see some type of bullish reversal candle. Without that, price just simply pulled back to its first breakout level. If price were to close below 32.18, it doesn't have to be today. Then price would go target the next breakout level, and that's at 30.62. So there's potential, but not enough potential to go ahead and take that trade. If we saw some type of signal on a 30-minute basis, and I have the 30-minute chart up on our screen, and that kind of signal would be a close above 33.37, then we'd say, okay, maybe the bottom has been made, but we don't have that signal. Without that signal, Amazon may continue to head lower. So be on the lookout for a bullish reversal candle, and if you don't see one at price below 32.18, look out for 30.62. Steve Rhodes with TF&M.

I've downed down 10 S&Ps off of 10 as well, and let's go to our next question. Our next question coming from Hector and the Fuel Injectors. And Hector's question is about Newmont Mining, NEM is a ticker symbol. In a specific question on Friday, I drew in an A to B equals CD pattern. It's one that is showing right now. And Hector's question, so in the case of this A to B equals CD, both Hector and I chose the same A point that is the high for May 19th. I then chose for my B point, the move down into June 29th. Hector's question is, why did I use that versus Hector used the swing point from July 23rd? So let me try to explain that the best that I possibly can. And the reason I preface it like that is because the A to B equals CD pattern for the most part is a very subjective pattern. And so both A to B equals CDs, in other words, whether I use, now explain the reason why I did, but whether one uses the swing point from June 29th, that would be correct. Just likewise, you could also use that swing point here from July 23rd. That too would be correct. Which one is more correct? I don't know the answer to that. First of all, I don't know, and I did also say on Friday, Hector, I don't know if you caught this, this doesn't look like an A to B equals CD pattern that's going to complete. Although it's drawn in here, and it can, and I'll explain the reason why as well on that. But the reason, so what I'm looking for here, and then when we're, in the case of the A to B equals CD pattern, we're always using more information as we get, as we get more information, if the pattern changed, we go in there and redraw it. Well, the initial pattern out here, Hector, if we were drawing it, I think you would agree with me that the B point would have been June 29th. Forget about this data over here, you know, because we hadn't gotten, let's say, to July 23rd. In other words, if the chart was looking like this, you would have chosen the same A to B and B to C and C to D swing points out here. Now, in this case here, when we see this retracement found resistance really at the top of that profile, July 14th. So that's a reason why I just stick with this as the A to B equals CD. But in either case, so yours might have, yours would have a lower one-to-one price projection of $51. On Friday, I said, I don't think that Newmont Mining is going to fulfill this A to B equals CD pattern. Now, the reason that I said that, my thoughts on that might change a little bit today, but first, let's take a look at why did I say that on Friday.  It did that when it generated this bull sash candle that was on August 11th because that was the bullish reversal candle. It's going to be the low of the pattern. This is a two candle pattern, a bull sash. And that says that the low of the prior day, August 10th, that low is really your support level, that price would have to close below to negate the pattern. So Newmont Mining has a confirmed bottom in it. That low that we need to pierce, not pierce, but close below $57.96. So it's got a valid bottom pattern here, what it has not been able to do. And I was tempted to take a long position in Newmont Mining this morning. I was thought about sending that out for subscribers. Price is inside a bullish structured profile, but what price has been unable to do has been unable to close above its red oscillator and change line. So it hasn't, even though we've gotten the bullish signal, it's not as if the bulls have really stepped up their game. In fact, they have not stepped up their game. So is this a bottom? It may be. Is it going to go on to make that A to B equal CD to the downside? Well, if it closed below that low out here from the trading day of August 10th, then I would say Hector more likely than not. Okay, then that pattern is back in play. But right now you've got a valid bottoming pattern. It just has been able to prove itself to you. That's on the daily timeframe. The weekly, as we take a look and look for a bottom here, well, the answer is, hey, guess what? You have a TD nine count bottom. Of course, that says that last week's low is a key low. If price closed below that, that says a further move lower than maybe that A to B equal CD pattern. But on Newmont Mining, both on a weekly and on a daily basis, we've got a valid bottom. So then, Steve, why didn't you take the long trade? Well, the interesting thing was as gold was beginning to move higher this morning, when I say move higher by about five bucks or so, but off of the lows, there was a little TD nine count bottom that formed earlier, the mining equities didn't really move much. And that always makes me say, hmm, something to think about. Now, what you should do at home, and I'm just trying to find the chart here, and we'll see if we can do the same thing. And that would be what this chart? Yeah, okay. So this chart here, which is this side. So we've got the GDX on the right side. You've got gold on the left side out here. You can see how gold has had a nice rally, right?  We cannot say the same thing about the GDX. If I go back, so that's going to be one, two, three, four, five, six, so maybe seven. I'm going to get to the rate of change out here. And let's either set it's either six or seven. I'm going to go ahead and put in seven days. So if you give me just a moment to do that, let's get this rate of change out here. Blank, what the heck? So I upgraded this software over the weekend, really was on Friday. And there are some tools that just aren't, oh, three days. Okay, so I want to go for seven out here. So let's get that to seven. And then let me come over here and get to the GDX. And so on the GDX, we've also got seven day rate of change. Now, the reason that we're taking a look at the rate of change is in a bull market for the mining equities, the rate of change will be two to three times the rate of change in gold. The rate of change in gold right now over the last seven sessions, that can't be right. It must be six sessions. Right now, my computer system says minus 1.12. And on the GDX, it's minus five. So it's the exact opposite. So yeah, so the reason that I didn't take that trade this morning, Hector, is because the mining equities have not proven itself to us. And I really have to go by. I know that I did a study a long time ago. And I couldn't find it. I looked forward over the weekend. But go back and do the study as well for yourself. For those of you that are taking a look at the mining sector, go back and see how often do the mining stocks take off when their rate of change is less than the rate of change of Goldilocks? I believe that the answer you're going to find is not very often out there. So that can change, but it hasn't changed as we speak right now. So again, back to the A to B equal CD pattern out here. Neither of us are wrong. It is a subjective pattern. I like this pattern out here because it was the original one. And there was no reason to really change that Hector. And look, there's multiple A to B equal CD patterns. But right now, as long as Newmont mining can hold this bottom here at the 5851 level, the bottom of its profile, it's got the potential out there. It's certainly given us the bottoming signal. The caution sign is really coming from Goldilocks and its rate of change versus that for the mining equity. So Hector, I hope that that helps you out. But if not, please write me back. And because I'd like you to be able to at least get the thought process that Stevie is looking at when I'm taking a look at drawing the A to B equals CD pattern.

Let's go switch over to my eight-paneled chart out here and get a feel for what's going on intraday and as well as the daily time frame. So here, as we take a look at gold, gold has a TD9 count top for its monthly time frame. You can see that out there. For its weekly time frame, it's got a TD9 count top, it's got a TD9 count bottom, and it's had a buy the D point last week. It did generate a bullish hammer candle. So gold has a, it should at least target its oscillator and change line. That's at $1,870. That's what the weekly chart shows. The daily chart, let me expand this out. Although the A to B equal CD pattern is not drawn in here, you can visually see it. It did get the wave number seven S letter G. Price is above the oscillator and change line out here, and that says that that price should continue to move higher. Now not shown on this chart is the daily profile. In that daily profile, the bottom, in this profile form below price, that's typically a bearish signal. If it's going to be bearish, then price is going to find resistance at one of three areas. 1786-30, price at 1787, 1802, and 1817-70. Those are the, oh shoot, I gave you the wrong levels. My apology. Hold on a minute here. Let me give those to you again. 1788-50, price is trading at 1789. 1804, not like this is going to make a huge difference in your world, and then 1820-10. But I do want to give you the correct numbers out there. If you close above one, typically you'll go to the next level. Those are the three different TAS market profiles, bottom, center, and then top. So that's the daily timeframe chart out here. If we look at intraday, what's going on, a 30-minute timeframe chart, there's a roadsman to indicator top. It was generated with this nice little dark cloud cover at 1130 this morning. That says if gold is going to be on its merry way, it closed above 1791-30 would be that signal. So if you get above 1791-30, odds favor, gold will make a move to 1804. You might say, well, gee, Steve, that's not a ton of money. I know, but I want to be able to give you where price would likely go to next. As far as support is concerned, in the case of goalie locks, the roadsman to indicator signal, price could pull all the way back to 1776-90. I don't have a signal that suggests that that's what it's going to do, but that's what it could do, and that's what it could do if we were to see it closed below, I'd say about 1787-70. You're only 1789-20. So it's just a couple bucks away. As we look at the other timeframes out here, if we look for tops, the five-hour timeframe chart is now in bar number eight of ATD nine count. That says if gold is going to form some type of top on the five-hour chart, it's going to happen by about four o'clock today as the five-hour chart bars come to an end out there. So I would say that overnight you could see some type of pullback retracement will be normal inside of a goalie lock. So that's what's coming from the five-hour timeframe chart out here, and not that gold necessarily needs to get any higher. It's going to have bar number eight. So with that roadsman to indicator top on the 30-minute timeframe, you can see there's one on the 60-minute as well, the continued move higher in gold is likely done for the day, at least as we speak right now. As long as we're over here, take a look at gold. We probably should go take a look at what's going on in the currency pairs. We don't do that often enough. Let's do that as long as we're over here on our eight-paneled screen. Of course, now we're down to a two, four, six, seven-paneled screen out here. But these are the currency pairs that make up the US dollar index with the euro over on the left-hand side. Next to that, the yen. Next to that, the pound and the Canadian dollar, the Swedish corona and the Swiss franc out here. But as the US dollar index that's one on the very right-hand side, you see that price stalled up at the top and generated a second roadsman to indicator top out here. Although if you caught the one o'clock update, what you know is that big move lower inside of the US dollar index on Friday, but that big move lower on Friday, was nothing more than a test of support or close to support. Support is actually $92.41. The actual low that took place on Friday was $92.47. You've got to love that. And as long as price holds that, the US dollar index may just simply trade sideways. It's traded in between support and resistance. Support we just provided to your resistance was the top of that roadsman to indicator top from about four days ago. Now, are we getting clues from, let's say, the euro as to what the US dollar index wants to do? Not really a clear signal. It's the exact opposite of what we just looked at on the US dollar index, with the exception being, I don't have a TAS market profile to go take a look at for you. But price did close above that red oscillator and change line. And if that's the case, that that's a signal that price could move higher out there. But if it's going to move higher, here's where the real tell comes. You'll see a close in US dollar index below $92.41. So we don't really have to know what the euro is going to do or whether it's going to be able to do it. We just need to know when the signal that the euro is going to move higher is going that that it's likely going to move up to the 119 level. That would occur if we were to see the US dollar index take out support. And that would be $92.41. As far as where the US dollar index would trade to if it took out support, it would likely trade down to about the $92 level. So that's what's going on with gold, US dollar, as far as the other currency pairs out here. If we look for anything that's of significance, I don't really see anything to report on for you. So that's what's going on with regard to the US dollar index. Let me check, see if there's any requests out here. We've got a request from Mark D. Mark D says, if you'd be so kind, you're in meet, meet.cn. You know, Mark, I don't, that's going to be a Canadian exchange stock. Let me just see here if what comes up here for me, for me. And the answer is nothing. And so I don't have access to the Canadian exchange. I just haven't paid for it. So I can't look up meet.cn. But if you've got something else that you'd like me to take a look at more than happy to do that, just go ahead and send in another request. There's also a request here to take a look at Apple. AAPL is the ticker symbol. So let's go ahead and get that in here. And we can see that Apple right now on a daily basis is really trading into resistance. So when I say resistance, price is above the top of its bullish structured daily profile. 149.01 is the number. But all we have to do is go a little bit further over to the right. We can see that on a weekly basis, there's a bearish structured profile. It's at 150. Even Steven, that is where Apple needs to close above. You don't see the chart. Oh, thank you. Sorry about that. I forgot to switch over. Thank you, Mr. Bill. I'll be in a moment to do that. Okay, here is the Apple chart. So again, on the daily side, on the very left hand, you see that price is trading above the top of that daily profile. But notice here, and let me just do this. Let me just get rid of this. We can always put that back in here. That's the expansion. So now you can clearly see the bearish structured weekly profile. So if Apple can close above 150, even Steven, by Friday, that will be intermediate term bullish and suggest that we had to hire price. Now, let me pull over my other charts, give me a moment to get there and then get Apple. Well, actually, you know what? I've got it up on the daily and weekly. We must have looked at this on Friday. Let's take a look at the other chart here for Apple, the other set of charts for Apple or tools. On the daily timeframe, we get here. So on the daily timeframe, nothing really here to add. On a weekly timeframe, this is going to be the bar following bar number nine of a TD9 count. That's going to make this week's high really important inside of Apple because whatever that high is, if next week price begins trading above it, that's pretty much a signal that the markets are going to go ahead and move higher into October. Wouldn't that be nice to know in the middle of August? Steve Rhodes with TFNM will be right back.

So I think we have finished off Apple again just because we were going into the last piece of the break. And this is really going to be helpful for each of us to try to understand what the market's real intentions are. Because at this stage here, we know that the market is somewhat negated the unfavorable seasonal cycle. And what I mean by that is typically during the unfavorable seasonal cycle, we would have a high end that would typically last through about the middle of October and we don't have that. So the question is, instead of moving lower into October, are we going to go ahead and move higher into October? So how do we answer that? Well, we answer that by looking for clues and certainly stocks that are heavily weighted because they could be the ones that would provide us with a signal. So for example, Apple is one of those charts. Because we know that there is now a valid TD9 count. And the reason is because price is overtaken by our number five on a weekly basis. And that high was the high of about 50. We've gotten above that, we're trading above it right now. So that says whatever the high is this week in Apple, that will identify the key resistance threshold level of the TD9 count system. And if we were to see a close above that, that would then be a signal, at least to Stevie, that the markets are likely going to go ahead and move higher into October. So Apple is really a key chart for each of us to come take a look at certainly next week. And of course, it's by the close of next week that we need to know. So really about a couple of weeks, but still it's a really important, in my opinion, it is an important chart, the weekly chart for Apple for us to really pay attention to, because that could be giving us that signal out there. Zip inside the tigers den wants to take a look at Microsoft. No, Monster MNST. Monster Energy Drink is out with that is Monster Beverage Corp. So absolutely. So as we take a look at MNST, what do we know? We know that Stevie Stolling here is I try to get that typed in on my other system. Okay, well it was the first thing that we knew. The second thing that we know is that Monster Beverage is consolidating right now with inside its daily profile zip. So that's in between support at $96.66, resistance at $99.08. We know the price is above the top of the weekly and monthly profile. So from a profile standpoint, no resistance there. Your resistance is at $9808. Let's pull over Monster Energy's white background charts and see what kind of signals out here that the zip needs. Well, on Friday, well that's the weekly chart. Let me come back. Let's go to the daily. Let me populate this here. And on the daily chart zip, all we've got is really an A to B equal CD pattern. Let's come back and take a look at that pattern out here and see where we're at and see if there's a confirmed A to B equal CD. We'll come back to those charts. Just going to expand out the daily timeframe. And the A point that I'm going to use here, I'm going to go ahead and just use this low from July 9th. Hector, you could use this low from June 25th. We can come back here and do another A to B equal CD here from May 7th. There's a number. I'm just going to use the most conservative one right now. So there's our A point and our B point out here is going to be July 23rd. And our C point is going to be the low on August 5th. You can see that price has already made the one to one level. So that just says, hey, we want to be on the lookout for some type of bearish reversal candle. Now I know somebody in the audience is saying, what do you mean, Stevo? I see red-bodied candles. And that's absolutely true. But a red-bodied candle doesn't mean it's a bearish reversal signal. We're looking for Japanese candlesticks out here and we just don't have that. So there is no confirmed top. You have the completion of the one to one A to B equal CD, which has now led to a consolidation out here within those profile levels. So that's what we see when I take a look at the daily timeframe. Now let me come back to my other white background charts because I want to take a look at that to say, okay, maybe there is an A to B equal CD. It's completed. And that's going to suggest a pullback to 9705. Now price still may pullback to 9705. That is the oscillator and change line. But the MNST for the daily timeframe continues to look bullish to me, Zip. So I hope that that helps you out. The weekly chart for monster energy last week generated erodesment and indicator top as a result of its bearish shooting star candle. However, what we do see is price is above its oscillator and change line. So its signal is either neutral to bullish versus bearish out there. So even with that, it still looks bullish to Stevie. And on a monthly timeframe out here, I don't have anything right now that suggests to jettison your position. If you are in that position right now, it's just a sideways consolidation, but things still look pretty bullish for monster energy. So I hope that helps you out. Thanks much for writing in. Let's go to our first caller that's Brent in Martinez, California. Brent, thanks for calling. Thanks for holding. How are you? I'm doing great, Steve. It's so nice to have you back and you sound like you're doing well. I'm hanging in there, absolutely hanging in there and good to be back. So thank you. And Gilead Sciences, GILD is, I believe, what you've called. Is that correct? Yeah, I called. I think it might have been the first day you're back that there was some issue with the obvious. You couldn't really take calls. Yes. So I want to focus, of course, more on the longer term, because I'm not day trading. This is a longer term investment. And I believe there was something on, I can't recall if it was the weekly or the monthly, but I think it's above one error. The next level you kind of talked about was around 78. And I guess my question would be if it were to get above that, then is there something then, you know, past that, that they'll watch? What other errors do you have that might potentially be an issue? And I think after day, day number four in the daily, and maybe you can get into the weekly cap thing like that. Sure, absolutely. So just first with regard to the weekly, there's an A to B equal CD pattern that isn't play out here. I'm just simply drawing that in. And the one to one price projection level for the weekly chart would be 74.19. And 1 to 1.272 is 77.67. So that's on the weekly chart. I think the level Brent that you and I might have been looking at that we want to see price clear was coming from the monthly timeframe. And that level was 70.21. And 70.21 is the top of the profile. Price is above daily, weekly and monthly profile level. So price is above resistance there. So before I pull over the white background charts, is there anything that you need from these charts here that we haven't already discussed? No, that was important to me to, you know, I was really having a lot of trouble with the 70 level or sellers there in it. Yes. Be able to get above and close above that last week. And now it's done that for a few days on a row. So that's important to me. Now we'll just see how it handles the next levels above that. Yeah, no, I guess go to the other chart. Yeah, yep, yep. So here on the daily bar number four, but TD9 count. So no TD9 count pattern or no other pattern that I see here to be concerned with. So that's positive on a weekly basis out here. Boy, it just sure looks strong, super strong. And when I say super strong Brent, 78.94 will become its next price target to the upside. Granted, we already looked at A to B equals CD patterns. And those are still applicable. But short of the A to B equals CD pattern, the TD9 breakdown level is at 78.94. And there's not anything on the weekly chart to suggest that that's not what its eventual outcome is. Again, it's a weekly chart. So I'm not saying that happens tomorrow, but that's a positive. And then on the monthly chart. So this is kind of interesting. This is going to be month number eight of a TD9 count. But you and I know that that could occur a TD9 count on the bar following nine or bar nine. So it still could be a couple of months away. Hey, Brent, we're going to a hard break here. Just hang on through it if you'd like, because I want to be able to give you whatever information and questions you have. Steve Rhodes with TFNN. We're taking a look at Gilead Sciences, G-I-L-D.

We're taking a look at the chart here for Gilead Sciences with the Brenti and the Martinez California. We're taking a look at the monthly chart as we're going into that breakout there. Brenta, as I mentioned, this is going to be bar number eight or should be bar number eight on a monthly basis, but when I go back and I look at the chart patterns taking us back into 2006 timeframe, I don't see any monthly charts where bar number eight identified the top or bottom of that pattern. Odds favor that this time would be similar in that you should get bar number nine and the bar following nine, I would say. So what additional information or what other questions maybe can I answer for you? That's great information. I appreciate, Steve. Again, I don't even know what my position is here, but it's been longer term hold. I think they did some acquisitions last year that were oncology-based acquisitions that I'm hoping at some point will pay dividends. I think technically it's acting okay. It's doing better than it had for a little while here, and we'll see how that continues. And then as far as fundamentally, I think there are some things there that would make sense to try to hang on to it if it keeps acting good technically. Excellent. Well, the chart pattern, the chart patterns look great and kudos to you. And Brent, always good to hear your voice. So thanks so much for calling and we'll look forward to speaking to you again soon, I hope. That was great talking to you, Steve. I'm still happy to have you back and that you're doing well. Thank you. Thank you so much. Brent, you bet. Brent de Martinez, California. Real quickly here, we've got one request, and that request is to take a look at Pfizer. And that was actually for Mark who wanted, who was looking at the Canadian stock. Pfizer, trade above all profile levels out here, daily, weekly, monthly. So everything there looks strong. Marcus, I take a look at the daily just looking for any kind of topping signal or anything. You do have wave number seven. That is letter G that is in play, bar number eight of a teeny-nine count. So Pfizer could top between today and Wednesday. That'd be a short-term top that should take price back to about the $47 buck level. And that's on the daily time frame. Folks, stay tuned. You've got two more great hours up and I'll see you back here on Terrific Tuesday. Have a marvelous Monday, folks. Building wealth trading in the stock market seems


We are we are honored to be here at this historic event at the entry into force of the Marrakesh Treaty and the setting up of the Assembly under this international treaty. The Committee on the Rights of People with Disabilities is quite clear that the Marrakesh Treaty will contribute to the full inclusion of people who are visually impaired or otherwise print disabled or who can't have access to printed matter. We know that this will facilitate access to education, information, culture and also to recreation and this is why that the United Nations Committee in its concluding observations has always repeated the recommendation to all member states of our convention, 167 of them, has always recommended that they ratify the Marrakesh Treaty. The Disabilities Convention is 10 years old and on this anniversary we are honored to see the birth of the Marrakesh Treaty. We therefore congratulate all those who have worked on its drafting. As a person from the Latin American region we also congratulate all the countries from my region that contributed to the entry into force of this treaty and also as a blind person I feel very happy and very glad that I and many people will be able to enjoy access to literary works and if I may for a few seconds I may quote Khalil Gibran who says and it's called the astronomy and he says more or less the following. When I visited a village I asked where were the wise men of the village and they said that they were the people sitting by the temple. I went there and I found a blind man. When I asked him what principles of wisdom did he follow he said astronomy. I'm putting his hand on his heart he said I know about these moons and these suns and these stars. Thank you very much.


Neuroinflammation is a process in which the body's immune system responds to damage in the central nervous system, CNS. It has been associated with several neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, the most common form of dementia among older people. In addition, neuroinflammation can impair the production of new neurons, also known as adult neurogenesis, which is essential for maintaining healthy cognitive function. To address these issues, researchers are developing treatments to reduce inflammatory responses in the CNS.

Good evening guys. So I'd like to indulge my penchant for the science fiction tonight. Hope you guys enjoy it too. I'm fascinated by well, both, really both ends of the spectrum. I enjoy looking into the origins of our consciousness and those features, probably in a similar vein. I enjoy the brilliance speculators of our future, which is what tonight's video is going to be centered. Kardashev scale is a scale used to define the technological advancements of civilizations. Proposed by Russian astrophysicist Nikolai Kardashev scale has originally, rather, had three categories. Type one was also called a planetary civilization and it's defined by their ability to store all of the energy which reaches its planet from its parent star. So a type two is, as you can imagine, scaled up. It's called stellar civilization. They're defined by their ability to harness the total energy of its planet's parent star. An example of this would be a Dyson sphere, which we'll get into in just a little bit. So the last of the typical ones, the traditional definition of the scale is a type three, which is a galactic civilization. It's where, as you can imagine, again, this is a civilization that is so advanced and has obviously conquered the ability to break the light barrier, or else it would at least be tens of millions of years in the making. It's crazy to think about this, but it's actually able to control the energy of an entire galaxy. It's a hypothetical scale, but nonetheless, it's very, very thought-provoking, so I'm gonna jump right into just exploring more detail what these actually mean. I read this book years ago by Michio Kaku, called Physics of the Impossible, and and in this book is where I originally heard about this scale, and it's just to me, it's like we as a civilization, I was just listening to Terence McKenna earlier today, and for as much radical speculation he does, he is a very learned person. Is that how you say it?  I would say it's it's a pretty solid, pretty irrefutable role that you're gonna be a bit player in someone else's story, someone else's drama, and that goes for our entire human species, in the case that we ever meet another alien race, if we don't have a clearly defined goal of what it is we what our purpose is, and where we're going and what we intend to do, and kind of like Star Trek, you can have a fake, leave the precise, you can leave the goal vaguely defined as long as you parameterize it correctly, so the goal for them was just to learn and meet, learn from and meet new alien species and all interesting objects, really for that matter, in the process of exploring, yet they had the prime directive which was, am I getting confused, but they had rules that established how to act, and what not to do, and certain rules and boundaries that could not be transgressed. I think theorizing about these types of future, future scenarios is important for that reason, and it's also important, I guess if I wasn't too specific there, it's for the reason that if we have a true encounter with an alien race, we aren't led astray, because Lord knows for all the good that we do, we're very much capable of evil and steering people astray and not necessarily being forthright. So I don't think it's too much of a stretch to imagine a violent malintention. So let's, I guess I gotta explain the imagination. So if we were prepared, we're very unified in our ideas about where it is we're going as a species, and I think of course right now our goals should be to eradicate absolute poverty. So once we're there, what do we do with ourselves? You know, if we ever reach an instance such as Star Trek, where nobody necessarily has to have a job and people engage in science and other forms of self-improvement through challenging their skills. If we ever reached that status, I think it could be easy to be led astray and for all we know there could be massive epic intergalactic battles, and we'd be sucked into it, and I don't know, I guess that doesn't make too much sense, because we'd just be a, but nonetheless, I think it's it's profound to think about the fact that, A, we are one, we have the possibility of developing literally at this point unimaginable technology, and if we don't have moral constraints on the use of that, as good in as good as the intentions of using it might be, we could cause chaos and, you know, due to irrevocable damage that we wouldn't want, so I think it's good to have discipline and a sense of where we're going, and that's what exploring this type of these ideas, these futuristic ideas in science fiction really has its value, and you know, it's, when I say it's the first tentative ideas of science are always in philosophy and the first great philosophic movements can be found in pure, tense, passionate expressions of art, whether a song or music, or a song or music, drawings, such, and evoking our imagination, so we've reached, reached a turning point in our society according to the renowned theoretical physicist Michio Kaku, the next hundred years of science will determine whether we perish or thrive, will we remain a type zero civilization, or will we advance and make our way into the stars? Experts assert that as a civilization grows larger, becomes more advanced, its energy demands will increase rapidly due to its population growth and the energy requirements of its various technological inventions, machines, with this in mind the Kardashev scale was developed as a way of measuring, measuring a civilization's technological advancement based on how much usable energy it has at this and its disposal to expand on the type one, so actually I didn't mention type zero yet so I want to, these scales are actually designed to be in accordance with the literal amount of energy in watts used so a type one would be 10 to the 16th watts, 10 with 15 zeros after it type two would be another 10 orders of magnitude so 10 with 25 zeros on the end of that and a type three would be yet another 10 orders of magnitude so that would be for good measure, thought experiments, people have actually extended it to a type four and a type five type four was just another, again, 10 to the 46 watts type five though, all the available energy in the entire universe but we didn't stop there we, uh we said in all universes in all considerable energy access as well as the amount of knowledge civilization has access to so right now we haven't even reached the scale yet we still sustain, sustain our energy needs from dead plants and animals dinosaurs, fossil fuel and increasing smattering of, uh, alternative energies but we have a long way to go before being promoted to type one kaku tends to believe that all things taken into consideration we will actually really reach a type one in maybe at most 200 years so when you look back that's actually really, really quick I think it's probably, uh, yeah, I guess that's realistic given the the rate of transformation but it seems optimistic if you think about 200 years ago 18 20, 18, 18 we were, I guess roughly we were, uh just beginning to use the steam engine right so 18, 15 so 1801 to make it pretty efficient with railroads yeah I don't know to me that's just fascinating that, um, just 200 years ago we were not using electricity at all we're using it for kind of like, um, whimsical demonstrations didn't have any combustible engines the hybrid vehicle 1877 Nicholas Otto Patton's a four stroke internal combustion engine a rapid rate the less I think it's trying to tie this into, uh, I suppose the type two get there we theorize that type two might take us a few thousand years type three might take anywhere from a hundred thousand to a million years to get so, uh, that's those epic scales like the, um, like Dune and, uh, what's Isaac Kazimov's famous one? Foundation the foundation, uh, saga where, uh, you know, they discuss civilizations futuristic very advanced civilizations evolving over, over, uh, thousands of years so Carl Sagan actually suggested defining intermediate values based on the actual kind of logarithmic scale between the energy usage or power usage we would apparently be about a 0.7 at this moment let's talk about, uh, just what a type one would mean exactly what would that look like? this is a type one, uh, it would be the Dyson Sphere there's a lot, a lot of images and ideas of how to harness, um, regarding how we would go about harnessing the sun's light and energy Dyson Sphere would be, um, would be something like, uh, the channel Isaac Arthur has a lot of, uh, like actually quite a few really, really quality elaborate videos with good graphics and all that explaining this in a more scientific manner but, um, it could be anywhere from a, um, a series of kind of like a fragmented sphere enveloping the sun at a distance of a planet, you know so maybe something like anywhere from 50 to 200 million miles away from the sun and, uh, it would be able to harness all of the pretty much a significant portion of the sun's output which would, of course, in relation to, um, other people other solar systems observations of that star it would, uh, very, very significantly decrease the light, the actual photons emitted from that star and, um, yeah, it's one way to maybe detect that of that type of civilization that maybe hasn't reached out to other stars but yet is advanced enough to build megastructures that would literally encompass the entire sphere of the star and it would be such a massive, massive scale it's hard to even fathom because, I mean, the earth is so large, it's, that's hard to wrap your head around the size of the earth that we're on right now let alone the sun and, you know, the larger planets like Jupiter but, uh, imagine an actual a series of constructed objects that are, have enough volume to encompass the entire sphere of not, not just the sun's local environment but a sphere at a radius literally, um, thousands of times that of the sun so it'd be like, try to imagine the sun expanded and, um, just imagine the surface area even if it was fragmented you would have on that, um, you'd be able to support trillions, trillions and trillions of individuals with that so you could imagine that you would have to, uh, cut you would have to be credibly advanced to be able to, uh, construct something that large but at the same time you would have to, um, a lot at the same time you'd have access to that much energy I think I heard some figure before, like, uh, if we were able to harness a hundred percent of the sun's energy that hits just the earth which is just a pinpoint fraction of the total sun's output, you know for one day we would be able to power our civilization for, uh, a thousand years or some, some extraordinary number such as that so how else would we, what other clues would we have to know that maybe perhaps we're observing the star of a type one tour well I guess not three because, uh, that would be localized to just a star at that point in 2015, a study of galactic mid-infrared emissions came to the conclusion that the Kardashev type three civilizations are either very rare or do not exist in the local universe on October 14th, 2015 the detection of an unusual light curve for star KIC the elegantly, uh, very creatively named 8462852 like how they added that two at the end really makes it stick in your memory raise the speculation that a Dyson Sphere or a type two a, uh, oh yeah sorry I got my type one and two mixed up so when I was talking about Dyson Sphere just then for the past 10 minutes I've been talking about a type two civilization civilization, all right they were just sorry to make it anti-climactic but they were just talking about SETI trying to search for a type two and, uh, an initial radio reconnaissance of that star however found no evidence yeah I think what it was was some abnormal dimming of the stars that they think might be due to a it wasn't a sharp dimming like that of a planet would cause but it was in fact more of a, uh, a diffuse dimming that they think might have come from you know an asteroid in a very dense but large asteroid cloud perhaps a blown up a imploded planet that still maintained its orbit around the sun but was spread out to maybe encompass a third of the distance of its orbit of the circumference of its orbit so, uh, so a type one large scale application of fusion power so we gotta remember not just size but more probably more importantly it's the actual power energy usage scale and that is defining our civilization looking about the rate at which we could create energy type one implies a conversion of about two kilograms of matter to energy per second an equivalent energy release could theoretically be achieved by fusing approximately 280 grams of hydrogen into helium per second a rate roughly equivalent to 8.9 to the 10 if they're talking about using fusion to fuse hydrogen atoms into helium, helium atoms relative to the amount of water in our ocean the amount of hydrogen that we have in our ocean we could sustain life to, uh, across geological timescales which would mean millions and millions of years and it's amazing that you could even consider that the possibility of us actually fusing so much hydrogen that we would start using a significant portion of the amount of water we have on our planet which, uh, of course at that rate, um, at that point of technological advancement we wouldn't even need advanced rocketry and other, well fusion propulsion I'm sure to go corral up some asteroids or even some large swaths of nets that might be able to pick up hydrogen gas on a scale of several magnitudes above our current level and antimatter matter collisions the entire rest mass of the particles is converted to radiant energy reaction of one kilogram of antimatter with one kilogram of matter would produce one to 180 petajoules of energy so some of the more interesting things that we would be able to do is harness the actual weather patterns of, um, the entire earth we'd be able to affect climate I don't know how the weather is very precarious and very chaotic literally chaotic scientifically chaotic we could control volcanoes earthquakes the weather obviously ocean currents yeah it would be amazing civilization the entire star that would be where a dysentery comes into play and uh what could we do with that there would just be so much energy there you could start to harness actual planets for their raw materials such as all the gas giants for their gas for fusion reactions yeah pretty much you're guaranteed to be immortal as a species at least until the universe thins out and cools down which is a whole another topic I'd like to talk about and make it less less rambly like this less rambly than this one is it's fascinating that uh well I guess that would be something that a type three civilization would be capable of would be to harness um black holes the energy of black holes because uh at that point ooo civilization type one would just be uh I mean you'd be able to harness all the planetary energy using solar cells solar power wind electro hydroelectric tidal volcanic um to perhaps a more exotic means to generate usable energy would be to feed a stellar mass into a black hole and collect the photons emitted by the accretion disk less exotic would be simply to capture photons already escaping from an existing accretion disk you can extract using a process theorized by Roger Penrose a famous physicist called the Penrose process that extraction is made possible because the rotational energy of the black hole is located not inside the event horizon but on the outside of it in a reason a region called the Kerr spacetime and a region of the Kerr spacetime called the urgosphere what's the urgosphere the urgosphere touches the event horizon at the poles of a rotating black hole and extends to a greater radius of the equator at the equator the equator with a low spin of the central mass the shape of the urgosphere can be approximated by an oblate oblate spheroid while with higher spins it resembles more of a pumpkin shape kind of like two circles um the outline of a fan diagram two circles not fully a region in which so the urgosphere is a region in which a particle is necessarily propelled in locomotive concurrence with the rotating spacetime spacetime spacetime all objects in the urgosphere become dragged by a rotating spacetime in the process a lump of matter enters into the urgosphere of the black hole and once it enters the urgosphere it's forcibly split into two parts two pieces of matter oh the momentum sorry i thought someone fucked the two pieces of matter when they separate can be arranged so that one piece escapes from the black hole it escapes to infinity whilst the other falls pass the event horizon into the black hole with careful arrangement the escaping pieces of matter can be made to have greater mass energy than the original piece of matter and the infalling piece has negative mass energy although momentum is conserved the effect is that more energy can be extracted than was originally provided the difference being provided by the black hole itself in summary the process results in a slight decrease in the angular momentum of the black hole which corresponds to a transference of energy to the matter so whatever negative mass energy is i guess so if you're accurate enough to ride that line and break apart right at the right moment then as a phenomenon as a feature of that local area in spacetime around the black hole as a characteristic of the black hole's behavior if you tapped into that at the exact right time the black hole would understand that right i probably don't because it sounds like something uh quanta maya samar might be able to help me with at some point yeah just as it can be arranged to have greater mass energy than the original piece of matter i guess it has something to do with uh having having its mass like cutting it in half halving having its mass the fact that you're sacrificing half of the mass and um ejecting the other half with four times the momentum or the um velocity acceleration that the other velocity that it originally had thereby doubling the momentum that's that's the most sense i could make out of it and it probably isn't even sensical um starlifting is a process where advanced civilizations could remove a substantial portion of the star's matter in controlled form and uh as you can hear my voice is starting to give out a little bit so before it gets raspy
