Kali, you must be disappointed with the result, but from your perspective, how did that come about? They managed to get their noses in front. After analysing them in the first few games, they got some positive results as we have, and the first goal was going to be the most important. So I challenged the players to be proactive and be positive in the first half. I thought it was the best first half of football this season. But we gave away a sloppy goal from a second phase and a deflected cross. And they managed to score, get their noses in front. We kept working, the boys kept fighting, kept working. And obviously the second goal is a little transition moment on the counter-attack and you tune them down. So I'm disappointed for them today because I thought they worked incredibly hard, showed a lot of fighting character, and obviously when you're on the wrong end of a result it's always disappointing. You particularly aren't happy with that second goal? Yeah, obviously we just made two subs. So I'm trying to inject something different into the game. I think we switched off just on a throw, long throw, second phase inside. And the boy went through and our balance wasn't right. It's sometimes basic, but the most basic things in football are the most important. So yeah, I was disappointed because I thought we, even though they had scored the first goal, we had much more of the play without actually creating too many clear-cut chances, credit to them for blocking. But our quality in the final third wasn't good enough throughout the game today. Can you pimp on why that was, Carlo? Listen, I can't. Maybe it's overhit, underhit, they have a lot of bodies in the box and you can analyse a game whichever way you want. In the early, I think around one or two, I wanted them to get more in the box, more in the final third, so they've done that and then obviously the outcome of the actions of a result in blocks or overhit crosses or overhit shots. You've got to just keep practicing. Carlo, the boos were pretty audible on the final whistle. I mean, your thoughts on that reaction? Yeah, listen, supporters have got every right to be disappointed. I'm disappointed, the players are disappointed, but what I'll say to the player, to you and to the players and to the supporters that I thought they were brilliant today until the last 96th minute, they kept going and we need them. The players need them. But, you know, don't blame the players. If you want to blame anyone, blame me. I'm thick-skinned enough to do that. I understand football's a results-driven business, but I'll continue to work as hard as I can, because, you know, if you don't do that, then there's something wrong with you as an individual and the one thing people cannot do is criticise my work ethic or my will to try and win, so I'll continue to do that as much as I can. But it's not nice when you hear boos. What do you make of the pressure that you are under from a perception point of view, I guess, from the outside? Yeah, well, someone mentioned that to me and you can control a controllables, and that's what I do. You know, I'm sitting here, probably the third or fourth manager in a couple of years, and I know that, and it's, you know, if you look at the history and the deep-rooted... what can I say, analogies and thought process and opinions of a lot of people, experts and, you know, so-called in-the-know, there's a common theme. So, I'll just do my business. I'll continue to be open and honest with you. I'll continue to work as hard as I can, but, you know, stick with the players. That's the most important thing. Sorry? What's the common theme? Well, sometimes, to fix something, you have to get better, you have to have a plan, and you have to try and, you know, have a core of players, you know? I've rumbled it up a little bit this year to try and get a new core of players, because what I believe over the last couple of years hasn't worked. So, three, four games into the season. You know, there's a trend appearing. We need to be better, you know, first half slow. I think first game, first half slow. No, second... Yeah, second game, first 30 minutes, very slow. Then, last week, first half was a bit... So, today, I thought we were excellent, and we don't get a result. So, that's what I said to you. I know it's a result-driven business. You know, what I'll continue to do is work with the players. I'll continue to have... They have my back in, and I said, I'll drown out the noise. For reasons... Yeah. Well, before you came here, there have been plenty of overhauls at the club in terms of players. Yeah. You touched on there's got to be a plan as well. Yeah. Beyond just bringing in new players, what's the plan that you're building here? To try and bring a number of youth players through. You know, we talk about it all the time, and I can go and sign, and you can say Tomahim is 34, and you can say Dimitri Patras is 29. All right, I can go and sign 16, 18 really old players, but I don't want to do that. I had that last year, and it didn't work. So, I want to try and get the nucleus and the core group of players in an age range, which I want. To do that, you have to be brave, and I think I've done that. I've told the club that's what I want to do, and play them, but I also need to win as well. As you mentioned there, it's a results-driven business, so I'm not naive enough to know to not expect a little bit of pressure or a bit of disappointment when results don't come, and you accept it and you move on. So, moving forward, how do you expect that new strategy to work for you? In what respect, sorry, that we're... So, with your team, the players that you've employed? Yeah. We just need to be better in final third areas. So, I think the performance was very good. I thought we did a lot of things right. I thought we won a lot of duels and little second balls, which I didn't think we did in the first couple of games. So, that was good. Our passing was better. Our final third entries, number was better. Our outcomes in our final third weren't good enough, so we need to work on that. But they just need to play like they did, but have a little bit of more quality in the final third, which is the biggest thing in football. Is that a good draw in the final third?  On Tuesday? I was always... It's not nice. It's not nice. There was a number of disappointing things in the game. Again, whenever you're a manager and you make decisions to rotate and rest people for games, if the outcome isn't right, then you get a lot of criticism and rightly so. I thought it was a very poor performance by a number of players. I thought the best players on the field were the young ones. I was always going to change the team. I needed some freshness in the team, and I thought the boys looked fresh today. So, you know, we've had a difficult week. I suppose you can say in football it's a long time. Two defeats in a row is not great, but it was a totally different team today, so there's no reason why this performance should be dictated by the Tuesdays players, because not many are then played. Yeah, mentally. Yeah, it's disappointing for the group. But yeah, you try and keep everyone involved, which I did on Tuesday. Some players took the chance. I think the young kid who came on at the end in the last 10 minutes, Ali Lopane, took his chance the other day. I thought he was the best player on the field. He got his reward today by playing some minutes in a big derby game, so disappointing for the group, disappointing for the club. We know that. But what you can do is roll your sleeves up and fight.


On 23 September 2019, at 05.29 pm, President Halainde Hijilema, while in the opposition, as President of the United Party for National Development tweeted and I quote, the office of the president must cut out foreign trips as the economy is in distress. President Halainde Hijilema, President of the Republic of Zambia now, while in opposition, as leader of the largest opposition in Zambia, tweeted and I quote, the office of the president must cut out foreign trips as the economy is in distress. He went on to say the rise in the fuel prices is yet another example of why hostility measures must be seriously implemented to keep the economy under control. My dear brother, President Halainde Hijilema, what has changed? What has changed today, my dear brother? The factors then are still the factors now. One, our economy is still under stress. Second, the price of fuel which you talked about in this tweet is still very high. And that's the more reason why hostility measures must be observed even today. Mr. President, you have taken fake international trips in one year, seven months of your leadership. In the last two weeks, you have taken three trips, foreign trips together with the pending trip to Senegal. Three trips in two weeks at the expense of the taxpayer. I remember very well you used to call President Hedi Gacha Walungu that Kamuendomun Jila for taking so many international trips. What has changed today, my dear brother? Look, Zambians, like I said in my prehambu, if we continue being inconsistent, doing exactly the same things that we condemned when we are in the opposition, Zambians are going to lose confidence in politics. And once the Zambians lose confidence, there will be a lot of people not going out to vote. There will be a path in short during elections because when we say something today and when we are in power, we start doing exactly the opposite or we start doing the things that we used to condemn, the UPND in opposition condemned not only President Lungu, they also condemned President Rupea Banga and said the foreign trips are necessary to some extent. And that is very true because I was Minister of Foreign Affairs in the first government of the Petrotic Front under President Maiko Sata. President Maiko Sata did not leave Zambia until after seven months. President Maiko Sata did not leave Zambia in short he did not undertake any foreign trip until after seven months and I remember very well he called me and Dr. Guy Scott and he said and I quote, We have a lot of things to do in the country. We have a lot of repair to do to the country. We have a lot of problems here in the country. And if you are going to be writing to me that Mr. President there is this trip you have to go, I would rather find another Minister of Foreign Affairs because these international trips some of them can be undertaken by you yourself as Minister of Foreign Affairs, some can be taken by the vice president and others can be attended to by ambassadors and high commissioners in those respective countries where the meetings are being held. I will not leave the problems back home. I have just been elected. I need to settle down and once I'm settled I am satisfied that things are now moving that is when I'll start undertaking foreign trips. In the meantime you, Dr. Scott and our ambassadors and high commissioners would do us a favor to attend these meetings and this was only two months when we were in office and there was a trip to go undertake in the Commonwealth meeting in Australia. I went with Dr. Guy Scott. Mr. Sata only undertook the first foreign trip seven months and we went to the Great Lakes Region conference in Uganda so you can see that Mr. Sata was very consistent. With what he promised, wide in opposition. I remember very well he used to condemn President Lupea Banda for moving too much and true to his words it took him seven months and most of the meetings even after he used to send either guests of the meetings even after he used to send either Dr. Scott the minister of foreign affairs or indeed high commissioners and ambassadors our president I think this is now becoming embarrassing no matter how foreign affairs wants to shub that court the importance of these meetings countrymen and women not all meetings I have been to those meetings in fact to tell you the truth more often than not age of states are represented by prime ministers and vice president most of the time and indeed just ministers of foreign affairs but it appears our president every meeting every invitation he has to travel this is at great cost to the treasure he just went to Angola from Angola he proceeded to Dubai from Dubai tomorrow he is leaving for Senegal our cha-chilamu but president cha-chilamu to apapata filafi nemoa lepkonden mama name when you are in the opposition zambians are watching you and those who are managing the president please let's be truthful you see what destroys presidents is that they want to listen to their own words I would advise my friends in the UPND to please advise the president correctly I am at foreign trips ya cha-chilamu these memorandum of understandings that are being signed all over have always been there even when I was minister of foreign affairs we were signing memorandums we didn't need the president to be there in any case presidents don't sign memorandas or memorandums of understanding it is ministers so the president nashenko kwenda I want to relate you la people are really suffering but you are busy travelling all the time please delegate when a minister travels when a vice president travels the cost is relatively much lower than the president when the president travels it is a very high cost to the treasure because of the security details etc etc I cannot go into details when I travelled during my time when I travelled as minister of foreign affairs or any other minister what we usually do is you use the vehicle for the ambassador to move around but when the president moves the must be proper transport arrangements made in most cases hired vehicles or hired motorcates so please my president be consistent live up to your promises like I said it is becoming embarrassing that if you don't say finto this is what happened so Nampapat about president kwa kwewen fwa ya kwa na kumutansh Ero ule kwewela pos straight ni mu na onko stop these unnecessary foreign trips that conference you are going to in Senegal is about agriculture send the minister of agriculture send the minister of foreign affairs and the minister of agriculture they will represent you on the other hand you must also look at your health you can't just be away from home all the time you need to be home with your children and your family you need to be home to provide a service to the people of Zambia they are the ones who elected you to give them service not to try and impress the IMF not to try and impress the Americans or the western world because this is now what it is amounting to that you want every conference you go and attend and you go and speak so that you appear to be the most intelligent president in Africa or in the world you are doing a disservice to the people of Zambia you are doing a disservice to the people of Zambia Mkombi Makufuri rarely moved out of Tanzania Makufuri rarely traveled but look at the development that he left in Tanzania look at his records of where he left Tanzania you don't need to travel all the time in order to develop this country that's a wrong notion my president that's a wrong notion and please stop it you see Zambians are very patient ilo baka mimi na one day tamua kare kata ma Zambians so the best you can do avoid it my brother avoid it try as much as possible to be around to attend to the issues in the country look at the mess we are in in terms of Lord Shedding and your government has just said you cannot stop exports you are being unfair to the Zambians how can you allow Zambians to be Lord Shedded for 8 hours and this thing you have brought of 4 hours in the morning 4 hours in the evening 4 hours at midnight please it's stressing Zambians there is nothing that you have achieved by saying we are going to divide it into two I mean Lord Shedding people twice in 4 hours you can't do anything by the time 4 hours is ending you have not done anything power is gone why can't you just stop these exports and by the way the reason that you gave Mr. President is not convincing in fact is a very laughable reason for you not to stop exports you said no in case we start generating more power if we terminate these contracts will not have where to sell our excessly electricity that will generate in future come on my brother you can do better than that you can do better than that and I know you can do better than that but please let's be consistent in what we do stop the exports perle ni avant wa malait look this electricity is very very very important yesterday I was listening to the radio on Khamnet TV where they reported that we are going to Khamnet TV where they reported deaths as a result of bloodshedding in hospitals as a result of bloodshedding 4

Welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swooshing and Reviewing the GAP Options Newsletter Subscription 2022. Year to date, advanced trader results. Obviously these numbers would be less if you risked less per train and only did, for example, one contract. I am going to try to do this more often this year to show beginner results for people too. But today I wanted to talk about advanced trader. Obviously, I started trading in 2008. It's 2022, so it's 14 years for me. Depends how much experience you have. It depends how much you can risk. But we have been on a roll here this year. The wind ratio has been 87 percent. Year to date, your today profits, again, 1,067,775. This is with an average risk per trade of $8,000. Now, why do I have that risk? I honestly want to be able to do things like Google and Amazon and Tesla. Some of those are expensive. You know, if you cannot risk $5,000, $6,000 per train, you can't do some of those what I call high flyer stocks. There is a huge benefit to doing some of those trades, though, because of the fact that they have monster, monster moves. Now, if you can't do those, you'll do the ones that you can afford, depending on your risk, like Apple, the spy, the queues, Facebook. There's many things that we do, PayPal, JPM. There's so many of them with very, very reasonable risks. Although, I will say, I have noticed a big difference this year with the volatility in the market on both sides, actually calls and puts, that things at the money, at the money, the price points have increased particularly in the spying that queues in the market. One of the trades we've done, and that is because of the volatility we've seen. One day the market will go up, next day it'll fall. One day it'll fall, the next day it'll go up. Volatility means the unexpected, and that is made for these really very unusual costs, I think, for at the money market trades. We're doing them anyways. We're doing them anyways, and many of them are working, which has been why we've had such a fantastic start to the year. Again, you have to account for the fact that some trades will lose, but an 87% win ratio is phenomenal. It's fantastic. I'm very focused here. If you have questions, you can always call me. Just call me on the phone. If I don't answer, leave a message.  I am a busy person, but I will call you back. I try to return phone calls in 24 to 48 hours. You can call me at 929-3200 Gap. You can email me at Melissa, thestockswitch.com. If you'd like information, follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or Skype as well. We are at the end of earnings season. We have a couple of earnings in the next week, but really the next earnings season doesn't start until April. Pretty much after Easter, or no, it's actually right before Easter, I think, with how Easter is timed this year. But it's in April. Earning season is a great time to trade. We've been active now, though, even though earnings season is almost over. Why? Because of the volatility we've had in the market. Some of it is the Fed. Some of it is what's happening in Ukraine with the Russian invasion. There's many reasons why the market may gap, or stocks too, not just earnings. But earnings season does make it a busy time to trade. I think if you want to sign up, though, you should sign up as soon as possible so you don't miss some of the great trades we've had with this incoming volatility. And again, sometimes we do puts to the downside. Sometimes we do calls to the upside. You don't know until I send it out. And again, the newsletter is emailed to you. It's emailed to you in live time. If you get them in the pre-market, you can't do the trades until after the open. But 2022 is one of these years where I'm very focused on my goals. It's one of the reasons why we've had such a bang and start to this year. I have some huge goals for myself this year. And again, I think having good goals for yourself is great. But you've got to do the work. You've got to do the work. You've got to take the step. You've got to be able to take risk if you want to trade. You're not going to know what you're going to get in the letter until you sign up.  I do not do trials for the newsletter. I'm here to answer questions for you if you want to take the class to the class first. If you have experience trading options, maybe you don't need to do the class. It's up to you. But I'm here always to answer questions for you. And 2022 is the year really to make your dreams come true. You have to have a plan of action. What is your plan of action? I tell people when they sign up the newsletter, what is your plan of action to get out of the trades? The target? A certain return on investment amount? You need a plan of action. You can't just say whatever. Again, with the volatility comes responsibility.  So, so far, oh, let's talk about the risk I was talking about, 8,000 on average per trade. You could risk 1,000, 1,500. That's a good amount, too. So, year-to-date results with that risk, 87% win ratio, zero break-evens, 13 losers. We have only 13 losers. And this is through last week. 84 winners, 1,607,755. It'll be interesting to see what happens this week, too. I sometimes I call the trades for the current week. And then sometimes I'll call them out with a more of a cushion. Again, it's an interesting market because I'll say this stock is going to go here. And then sometimes it goes the second I call it. The second I call it, sometimes it goes. That happened in the trades I call this morning. They're going right away. Sometimes I take a day or two. But that's why it's so important to look at your risk per trade, donor of a trade, because you want to be able to give the trades a chance to play out. So again, the trades are lost. Lost pretty much all are almost full value because if something doesn't work, it just goes bust for me.  So if you want to be conservative, you can kill a trade if it doesn't go the first day I call it. But I think that people should cut their risk back and let the trades play out. You're going to have far, far greater success by giving trades a chance to work. And again, the targets in the letter, I'm here if you have questions. Again, all of these things I make myself available to talk to people. I just got off the phone with a girl yesterday. And then she emailed me today what she did. I said, okay, what's your plan of action? The trades are already working. But again, you still have to have a plan of action when you're going to get out of it.  You must know where you're going to exit a trade. And if you're worried, you're not going to get out of it, right? Guess what? Again, put a sell order right away. Buy a call, for example, and then you could pay a dollar and put a sell order at a buck 50. If you don't trust yourself to knock it out of it, put a sell order too. Like, if you don't trust yourself to make the right decision, just put the order in. It's a day order. It's a limit order. It'll just cancel out at the end of the day. So again, I try to help people answer their questions. I'm here if you would like to ask me questions about the letter. This was on Amazon back from a while ago. We did a 3,100 puts. Again, I was saying, I like to use a bigger risk because of the fact that it allows you the flexibility to do some of these high flyers. They're fun to train. They're crazy though, as far as the movement when they go. So talk about watching trade.  A lot of active traders, actually big traders, day trade these.  Anyways, this was an Amazon put, expired on the 21st call on the 18th. Again, Tuesday to Friday, looking for the drop. It worked. Cost was $21. This actually was cheap for Amazon. Four contracts cost $8,400. Again, keep your risk consistent. Shoulded $72, profit $20,400, reach on an investment $243%. Speaking of consistency at another trader, she just flat out told me what she was doing, that she upped her risk, and then she didn't take the same risk then the next week. I said, well, wait a minute, you can't up your risk for one week and then not up your risk for the next week. If you're upping your risk, then that you're moving forward with the increased risk or you just keep it the same. So it's whatever you want to do. I think there are weeks when we've had, like when every single trade has worked, which we have had weeks like that this year in 2022. People want to immediately up their risk. Again, the reality is not every trade goes the day that I call it. You have to be able to hold it and sometimes you have to be able to hold it overnight. So if you can do that with an increased risk, fine. If not, keep your risk the same so that you can let the trades play out. But I think that it's okay if you want to increase your risk if you're doing well. If you're making money week over week over week over week consistently, I'd say for eight weeks, 10 weeks straight, maybe 12, then you could increase your risk. That's what I tell people. Like April will be a good time to do that next month. If you wanted to do 121, again, this was cheap for Amazon. This was really cheap. This would not be this price today. Risk 2100 sold 72 profit 5100. Again, return of investment 243%. So let's look at it. This was the 18th. I didn't even look at this today, but this would be a monster price today. I'm sure. Anyways, here's the drop. Boom. Again, momentum. This is a putt. So we're looking for the momentum to go down. Okay. 3100 strike again. Get the drop. Boom. Again, that was into the end of January. This was Amazon. Amazon earnings will happen in April. We'll see where that goes. So then again, nice stock to trade. I mean, you can only do options in this, in my opinion. I just do not do equity trades in this. I've never done a day trade in this in equity trade. So going back to the beginning of the year, we started out. Again, very interesting market this year. I mean, who would have known about the Russia conflict that would take hold of the markets in the last few weeks of January. The QQQs had a huge winner, 28,200 to start out the year. There's Tesla. Just did a video on that. Talked about that was a gap of the week last week. The ones five lost again. Sometimes the trades don't go. Then I just hold them into the last day to see if they'll flip. Netflix huge winner, 37,500. That was even before the earnings, which just collapsed. QQQs, 35,000. Facebook, 13,500. NVIDIA, which is a fun stock to trade to his options can be a little pricy. 14,000. Netflix, 8,800. A lot of market trades. Why the market moves? And again, while the prices of the calls and the puts has gone up in the market, the reality is they are fun to train. They have big moves and a lot of people trade them and they have huge volume too. So you want to trade options with volume. We don't do anything that doesn't have volume. There are some things I just don't do that don't have volume. So the QQs was a winner, 9,000. Spy, 9,600. Apple, 67,50. Spy, 9,000. QQs lost almost the whole thing. Netflix was a winner, 78,75. Tesla lost. Spy winner there. That's a solid gain. Again, some trades you can hold longer. Some trades you just take it, book it, get out. Take it, book it, get out. You chunk it. Amazon lost there. Facebook, again, that was before the earnings, I think. 16,4. Netflix, winner, winner, winner, winner, winner. Spy, 51,500. Again, some huge calls I've made in the market. Some of these newsletters in the market. I think most people are doing the spies and the Qs. Again, while not everyone is doing the expensive Amazons and Tesla, most people are doing the market trades because, I mean, I've just been reading the market rate. The QQs, 39,6. Spy, 16,800. Qs, 15,400. And again, if you want to do something and you say, well, I want to do more than one, you could do one farther away from the strike, whether it's a call or a plot, because if it goes in your direction, you're still going to make money if it does it in the timeframe. Goldman was a small baby winner, 1,500. Spy was a winner, 11,000. Spy, 12,500. Spy, 6,400. Amazon, big winner, 20,400. Diamonds, 67,50. Facebook, 7,200. I think that was the one after the earnings. I have to go back and look at the dates. That was another stock that just completely, completely collapsed on the earnings. And again, we ended up shorting that. Some people went long it. The play was to the downside. It was a beautiful gap. We day traded it and we did options in it. And again, if I'm day trading the market, I'm day trading the, doing an option and I'm day training it too, if I'm doing two things at the same time, you know, I love it. Actually, we did that with Netflix too. We did that with Netflix too. So the QQQs, 11,500, 11,250. Spy, 40,600. Netflix, 18,600 winner, 16,800 winner. QQQs, 16,200 winner. Spy, 22,600 winner. Apple was a winner, 5,500. Spy, another winner. 7,500. QQQs, 4,200. Spy lost that one. 6,600 winner in BA. We love the BA. Apple won, Microsoft won. Another nice stock to trade in options is Microsoft. MCD never went anywhere. That was a complete bust. That just did not work. BA lost on that one trade. The QQs lost. Spy lost on that one trade. Facebook then was a big winner. 32,800. Five time I'll pull up that chart here. That's another interesting chart. Just because of the move that it's had since the beginning of the year, then since the earnings. Spy lost. UPS, tiny winner. Didn't really move the way I wanted it to in the option. PayPal was one of the gaps of the month. 8,050. Then 10,000. Netflix, another big winner. 12,250. Facebook, 8,400. QQQs, 4,800. Spy, 48,75. Q is a little baby winner. That was the last day. Actually, the trade was down and then it went the last day all the way around from being down, all the way around back positive. That was completely insane. And same thing with the Netflix too. That's why the gain is so small.  Facebook won 63,60. Apple lost. It was 8,000. Spy, 23,800. Facebook, 32,800. Q is 20,000. Amazon, 11,000. These are all nice trades. Again, with an average risk of 8,000, you can see these are all 100% or more than 100% from many, many of the trades. Not that you have to hold them to that. Because again, you may not feel comfortable holding something overnight or being in multiple things overnight. It's whatever your comfort level is on your knowledge base. Netflix, 62,50. Facebook, 28,000. PayPal, big one, 52,400. Q, 6,300. Spy, 9,000. We should look at the PayPal chart. I'll pull up the PayPal chart. Spy, 1,500. QQQs, 1,500. In fact, let's pull up the PayPal right now. This is nice right now, here actually. But the one that was the big one, the biggie, biggie, biggie, biggie, biggie. Well actually, no, let's just go back to before. Let's just go all the way back to the beginning of the year. Because we did a bunch of different trades in this. So here's where this started off. That's the start to the year in PayPal. Let's just look where it opened. This stock opened on the year, 2022. This is, it's only March 3rd at 191.41. That is completely insane people. Now, again, last week when the market gapped down and everything else was under 100, was at 94.50. But the stock basically lost half its value in two months, in two months. Seriously, not even today's March 3rd. So I mean, again, this is the power of momentum and why, with options, you know, we're doing momentum. It's the gap, it's the gap rating, it's momentum. So again, this closed here, 175.80, gapped down here to 139.89. And then here, this just fell off a cliff all the way down in here. Then this looks really good right here. So I actually did call trading this this week too. And it looks great. So, you know, the thing about options, getting back to what I was saying, and you've got to get the direction right, but you've got to get the timing right. So we had a good entry in this one here this week. So it's timing, timing, combined with direction, because again, you're not going to make money if you don't get the direction right. That's in any type of trade. Small loss here in the diamonds, Facebook winner 6,400, 6,000, QQQ's 9,060. Spy 7,500, Microsoft another good one to trade as an option, 10,500. It's not cheap anymore to day trade Microsoft. Spy 44,600, some big trades. Here's the big Tesla, 54,750, well, but this is expensive to trade. You've got to be able to afford even one contract if you do it. That has to be your minimum risk. Facebook 12,000, Netflix 20,000, 300, QQQ's 10,560. Again, you can see lots of market trades. And sometimes I'll do strike and then strike, which is with the Tesla 24,400 and some of the spies and queues 11,250. So if I call two queues, for example, one day, then do the cheaper queue, you know, Facebook 10,500, or again, if they're going in a direction, give out a one queue, hold the other queue. For example, if you think it's going to keep going and you don't want to hold them both, spy 11,500, QQQ's 10,700, Apple 17,000, I have to look at that today again, BA 10,800, spy 9,750, QQQ's 7,800, PayPal 14,000, again PayPal, just a, I mean, again, the stock has lost half its value since the beginning of the year. It's only March 3rd. Oops. And then the QQQ's 7,125. So it's been a great start to the year, but you have to look at how much money you have and start from there. So many people are going to wait today, this much, this much, this much, this much, no, just start trading, chunking out, take one contract, start small, take it easy, deal and trade at a time, be normal, be normal, okay. This idea of taking a large risk can be your goal in three months, four months, six months from now. Again, if you want to take a larger risk right away, I know there's some people that are doing the journey. I don't know his exact risk, but I know he made 100 grand in two weeks. So, you know, he's not taking a small risk, that's for sure. But he's actively doing all the trades. So the trades are there, you know, the wins are there. It's about having more winners than losers. That's how you make money in the market. And again, chunking it out with the profits. So some people are risking a lot. Some people are only doing one trade a day, whatever works for you. Some people are working. Some people are working. One of the traders is a truck driver. He does what he can, but he's delivering. He's in the truck and he's taking the trades. I said, how are you doing this? You know, so he gets the emails, he gets the newsletters, and he's in the truck working full time and trading. He does the best he can. His goal is to make money. He made 35,000, I think, in that one, two-week period since he started. So obviously, he's more than paid for the annual subscription. It's something where if you want to do this and you want to start doing this, don't wait. You're missing out on opportunities. I'm here. If you have questions, I really am. I will answer people's questions in an email or pick up the phone and call me. I even got on Skype with some people to talk to them when they wanted to. But getting back to what's saying, can you trade with the beginner risk? Yes. Yes. And if you want to ask me what I think about that, you can. So again, one of the benefits of trading options is you can do with a small account. You can't. You don't need a margin account for options. You can open up a cash account with a day trade account. If you're equity trading, you must have a margin account. You could be in a retail place or a prop place, but you have to have it set up as a margin account. So that's a difference. You have more flexibility doing options. But ultimately, it's about freedom. What are you going to do? How are you going to get there? It's up to you. It's up to you. I'm here to answer your questions. I'm here to teach you with the classes. I'm here offering people the opportunity. It's an opportunity to be able to get these newsletters. I mean, some people, I have received such warm, nice, amazing emails from people. One of the girls that did the class, she said it was such a show eye opening to get a window into your mind in the class. That's exactly right. That's what the class is really. But even if you just joined the letter, it's an opportunity to make money. And then you can do the class later on once you feel more comfortable and you're starting to trade. It's a good time to trade. It just is. I mean, it's just one of these things that it's horrible what's happening across the world. Again, we're in this situation, but similar to two years ago when COVID hit, the opportunity's there. You got to jump all over it. So if you're interested in taking the course, the class is called the Golden Gap course. You can sign up the next class as the end of March. If you want to sign up for the Gap Options Newsletter subscription, it's 12 months for $69.99. And the half annual subscription is $49.99. I do not have a monthly and I do not have a quarterly. This is it. The newsletters are emailed to you. There's no prerequisites. If you can't afford the $7,000, pay the $5,000. Six months is a lot of time of the letter. It is an active letter, active. Okay. So sign up for the $49.99 then. And then then if you're doing well, which you should be in six months, then you can sign up for the year. The newsletters are emailed to you. And again, there's no prerequisites. You can be anywhere in the world and you just sign up. No trials though, like I said. Email me for upcoming class dates in March. It's March 26 and 27th. I've already had people signed up. You can sign up for this ahead of time. You'll learn the system and the strategy in this class. The class is online. Again, you can be anywhere in the world and take it. And the combo, you will save $500, get the trends and the golden gap. The combo then is the 29th is the trends, which is Tuesday 11 to 3. So Saturday and Sunday, 26 and 27th of March is a big class, 9 to 5. Tuesday is the trends. You sign up for both. You pay $74.99. You'll learn the system. So you could sign in for the newsletter. You're doing well in the next few weeks and sign up before the class as long as I have spots available. And again, people did that in the month of February. If you have questions, you can email me. If you'd like to sign up, email me. You must email me for the forums. And again, you could pick up a phone and call me. I'm a person. I live in New York. 9 to 9, 3200 gap. People are doing well. Congratulations to all of you who made the decision to join and are doing well. And the people that are juggling things like the truck driver trading and delivering packages, he's got his long-term goals. He wants to retire.  Training is a lot more fun. So he's doing what he can to get there. And that is what you need to do, too. Look at it as a long-term bigger picture. Email me again at Melissa at thestockswish.com for questions. Have a great day, everyone.


There's two different narratives that we have competing today about what's happening in global trade. One of those narratives is a globalist perspective about the gains in trade and how those have been dispersed across different regions and how consumption particularly in Asia is driving that growth. The other is a story about reciprocity and fair trade and about how there are imbalances in the global trading system when it comes to market access, tariffs and the like. This is an image here of raw data on US trade deficits. Now I want you to pay attention to two things here. Where we are at the beginning with North America where it's relatively balanced and there's a surplus even with Mexico and notice also with Europe right the balance here and then one other pocket to pay attention to is here within Southeast Asia. So if we skip ahead here this is the viewpoint right that from those in the US elsewhere that says we're all in favor of trade but not when we've been suffered. What I hope you guys will take away from this is a better understanding of the fair trade reciprocity narrative here and so for those who emphasize this fairness reciprocity question right there's a question why has this happened? So if we skip ahead here right this is average applied tariff rates across countries. We play this fork you really don't see very much in terms of the way of unilateral liberalization and the reciprocity story goes something like this right. We're all happy to engage in trade but it has to be a fair bargain and if over the course of time you have higher trade barriers than I do and as you gain greater shares of that you're not lowering them that's not a fair bargain. We know now that we have to accelerate clean low-carbon energy systems, decarbonize big heavy industries and when you look at where the wind exporters have come from the front runners on this were Denmark and Germany and now the major exporters of wind technology have shifted over now to China and Vietnam and that's a market of about 7.5 billion dollars a year. So for 2016 for the first time the big importers of wind technologies weren't in Europe they weren't in the United States or in Australia they moved now to Turkey to Uruguay to Mexico South Africa and others and you're seeing now a next generation of installed wind capacity. I want it then to go very quickly onto solar which is sort of very much similar trend but a much bigger market it's about 52 billion dollars a year. The big big big player on this is China so the average cost of solar photovoltaic has come down about 50% in the last five years and that's where we get back to why do we want to identify goods and services which have an environmental component to it it's in order to make sure that those markets are liberalized so with that in mind looking at the decision earlier this week of the United States to impose a 30% tariff on solar photovoltaic not identifying China specifically but will have an impact on the cost of solar technology. These are absolutely critical global challenges particularly after Paris and the climate agreement and the sustainable development goals we are committed to sustainability because it's a smart business thing to do.


But my mom's living here from Massachusetts. And so I was like, oh, we're just going to redo the apartment. You know, so I bring her back there. And I'm thinking, like, this is it for a mother. This is it. Like, this is the moment like your son has taken care of you. I know. Right? That's in my head. See? You're with me. That's good. Oh, yeah. OK, here's what happens. So here's what happens. Single parent also. So here's what happens. She walks in. She's getting emotional. And I'm like, that's what's up? That's the right reaction. Then she goes, you're going to change that light fixture, right? You're going to change that. She hit you with a. And I was like, and a part of me was so mad. And then a part of it was like, that's what it's like. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? And I love the fact that she demanded it. Cheetah, you need to fix this. Yes. This isn't me. Yes. And I loved that. And I was like, that's what's up.  Never.
