into the revenue service rs tax news tax time guide using electric payment and agreement options for taxpayers who owe can help avoid penalties and interest tax time guide oh no we're being guided by the government again always a dangerous prospect for example remember that time when president biden led that giant botched pullout of afghanistan a pullout so poorly executed it's surely in bolded countries like russia to become more aggressive i mean honestly like that kind of anti-center just a catastrophically terrible leadership gives a new meaning to the phrase the hole is greater than the parts you know i mean mainly because like the giant hole at the top keeps making dumb calls that cause some of the parts on the ground to get blowing up by like suicide bombers and stuff i mean even the administration recognizes that the hole is greater than the parts except they misspelled hole and it would also be clearer if the word was proceeded by the letter a but whatever whatever i mean one thing is clear the dang hole wants all the parts to be as empty as the hole's head and i had these terrible headaches was diagnosed with having a uh anyway they had to take the top of my head off a couple times see if i had a brain an emptiness equivalent to a dark desolute vacuum deep in the vast nothingness void bowels of the galaxy for crying out loud so yeah so maybe maybe some of us parts need to do a little more questioning of the hole i mean honestly like out of all the parts how did we come to the conclusion that the best part to lead this body is the hole i'm just saying that anyways onto the news irs video portal there's a link to this this avoiding interest and penalty charges ir 2023 dash 44 march 9th 2023 washington with the tax deadline approaching the irs reminded taxpayers they can avoid late filing and interest penalties by submitting their tax return and any penalties due by april 18th so you want to avoid those sticks penalties and interest that the iris is wielding around so make sure that you know the deadline here april 18th for struggling taxpayers who can't pay by the deadline the irs offers several different options to help the iris is here to help people let's see what they have for us the iris also provides multiple ways for people to file an extension get information to help file their tax return and learn about payment options if they have trouble paying by the april 18th deadline eligible individuals and families who earn seventy three thousand dollars or less in 2022 can use irs free file so that's a page that'll take you to a third party website so we'll kind of organize the offers by the third party providers the software providers and if you're under seventy three thousand you may be able to access one of those softwares for free the tax code has become kind of complex more complex over the last few years due to the changes with regards to you know the corona virus and all the all the responses to that and just because the tax code itself then is kind of fluctuating more than it would under normal times many of those changes happening for the lower income threshold and that makes the lower income tax returns which should be pretty easy for the most part more complicated because of things like refundable credits so tax software is quite helpful if you know someone or yourself don't think that you need to file you might still want to check it out because you might have some access to some of these refundable credits like the child tax credit and the earned income tax credit and if you can get access to the software for free it's worth looking into so available only on irs.gov and basically it's going to take you to a link to the third party websites to to electronically file their taxes all taxpayers regardless of income who need more time to file return can use irs free file as an easy and quick way to electronically file a six month extension before april 18th 2023 remember that the extension only extends the deadline for filing the return not for paying any taxes owed so if you're if you're do a refund then you're you're the iris shouldn't be coming after you too aggressively you would think right because uh you they owe you money and if you give them an extension then that's kind of good on there and but if you owe them money then you still need to pay on time even if you file the extension so those two things you got to keep them separate in your mind and extension will help to avoid penalties and interest for failing to file on time there's a link to that here and gives taxpayers until october 16th 2023 to file however they still must pay what they owe by april 18th deadline so except for eligible victims of recent natural disasters there's a link to that here if you want to look into those disasters have until october 16th to make various tax payments taxpayers who can't pay the full amount of taxes they owe by april 18th should file and pay what they can to reduce total penalties and interest so there are several ways to make electronic payments and there are options for a payment plan or agreement irs online account an irs online account there's a link to that here provides access to important information when preparing to file a tax return pay balances or follow-up on notices so there hasn't the iris hasn't had like this online accounting stuff as readily available or as as well done as many other institutions even those that deal with sensitive information like of course financial institutions banks and other financial institutions dealing with investments and whatnot and you would think the iris is trying to improve that type of system especially as they put more complex things into the tax code such as giving out prepayments of things like the child tax credit whatnot when they did that before so that people can go on their account and look up some of this type of stuff so i would think going forward your online account at the iris might be more beneficial to get set up and working as as things push forward but we'll see what happens uh that it used to be that they tried that the login process was quite tedious they tried to do a face identification kind of thing which i really didn't like because it kind of seems a little bit over intrusive because i don't think the financial institutions need that kind of stuff and they seem secure so any case here it is taxpayers can view their adjusted gross income payment history in any schedule or pending payments payment plan details digital copies of select notices from the iris taxpayers can also use their online accounts to securely make a same-day payment for an outstanding 2022 tax balance pay quarterly estimated taxes for the 2023 tax season or request an extension to file a 2022 return interest and a late payment penalty will apply to any payments made after april 18th making a payment even a partial payment will help limit penalty and interest charges so other options to pay electronically so they've got all these options for you to pay them you got the direct pay available only on iris.gov is the fastest and easiest way to make an on a one-time payment without signing into the irs online account you've got the direct pay there's a link to that here direct pay is free and allows taxpayers to securely pay their federal taxes directly from their checking or saving account without any fees or pre-registration taxpayers can schedule payments up to 365 days in advance after submitting a payment through direct pay taxpayers will receive immediate confirmation then you've got the electronic funds withdrawal that's the efw there's a link to that here this option allows taxpayers to file and pay electronically from their bank account when using tax preparation software or a tax professional so this option is free and only available when electronically filing a tax return so when you're filing the tax return and if you want to pay through the software system that's what you're using electronic federal tax payment system so there's a link to that this free service gives taxpayers a safe and convenient way to pay electronically and business taxes by individual and business taxes by phone or online to enroll and for more information taxpayers can call there's a number here you can check it out there'll be a link to this in the description i won't go over it at this time debit or credit card or digital wallet there's a link to that individuals can pay online by phone or with a mobile device through any of the authorized payments processors the processors charge a fee so that's the third party processor if you pay with a credit card or something like that you might have a fee but the irs is saying it's not us it's the processors the credit card company or whatever you're using to make the payment you could use one of these other free options if you want so the irs doesn't receive any fees for these payments authorized card processors and phone numbers are available at irs.gov forward slash payments link to that here other payment options cash you could pay with cash so if you're like a mobster and you just you're like you don't want to have your money tracked or anything you just want to hey here's here's a load of cash i happen to have happened to have paid some taxes which i don't really want to tell you where the income came from or anything they've got that option they don't want to listen they don't want to lose that those fentanyl sales revenue over there just get it just get it fill cut that out cut that part out for taxpayers who prefer to pay in cash the irs offers a way to pay taxes at one of its cash processing company services the irs urges taxpayers choosing this option to start early because it involves a four-step process details including answers to frequently asked questions are at the irs.gov forward slash pay with cash there's a link to that here check or money order payments made by check or money order should be made payable to the quote united states treasury end quote to help ensure that the payment gets credited prompt promptly taxpayers should also enclose a 2022 form 1040 v payment voucher or print the following on the front of the check or money order notice they put the check at the bottom they don't really like checks over there but you could still do it apparently see so you got the 2022 form 1040 name address daytime phone social security number for taxpayers who cannot pay in full the irs encourages taxpayers who cannot pay in full to pay with what they can and consider a variety of payment options available for the remaining balance including getting a loan to pay the amount due in many cases loan costs may be lower than the combination of interest and penalties the irs must charge they have to do it they have to do it under the federal law it's got to be done don't don't get mad at them so in other words if you can't pay you could set up a payment plan but then you're going to be subject to penalties and interest and the question is well could you take out a loan to pay your taxes possibly the loan from the bank being less in interest charges then the penalties and interest that you might be charged if you uh from the irs if you set up a payment plan now the interest rates are kind of reasonable with the irs it kind of depends what your personal finance is but when you combine you'll still have some penalties you'll reduce the penalties but if you set up a payment plan you could have some penalties so it kind of depends on your personal circumstances and whether or not you can get a loan somewhere else that would be at a more favorable rate than setting up a plan with the irs but doing nothing is surely not a good option most of the time because that's going to mean that the penalties and an interest will be accumulating upward at a higher rate so taxpayers should act quickly as possible tax bills accumulate more interest and fees the longer they remain unpaid for all payment options you can visit the irs.gov forward slash payments online self-service payment plans most individuals taxpayers qualify for a payment plan and can use online payment agreement there's a link to that here to set up a payment plan including an installment agreement to pay off an outstanding balance over time so you can set that up pretty easily so if you don't want to go get a loan somewhere else to pay off your taxes or or you're not ready to know how much to pay off or anything like that you could you could set up a payment plan on the irs website pretty easily most of the time without even have to to deal with anyone really you could just basically set one up which will hopefully avoid penalties at least lower the penalties and interest so once the online application is completed the taxpayer receives immediate notification of whether their payment plan has been approved taxpayer can set up a plan using the online payment agreement in a matter of minutes there's no paperwork and no need to call right or visit the irs that's nice set up fees and apply for some types of plans there's a link to that here online payment plan options for individual taxpayers include you got the short term payment plan total balance owed is less than 100 000 in combination combined taxes penalties and interest additional time of up to 180 days to pay the balance in full and then you got the long term plan installment agreement more like a normal kind of loan kind of situation the total balance owed is less than $50 000 in combined tax penalties and interest pay as monthly payments for up to 72 months so when you're thinking about setting up your payment plan you got to keep these boundaries in place to determine you know what the iris will accept you're kind of giving them an offer with the payment plan so you got to see what the if you're trying to get your payments as low as possible then you pay as monthly payments for up to 72 months right so payments may be set up using direct debit automatic bait withdrawal which eliminates the need to send in a payment each month saving postage costs and reducing the chance of default for balances between 25 000 and 50 000 direct debit is required qualified taxpayers with existing payment plans may be able to use the online payment agreement to make changes including revising payment dates payment amounts or bank information for payments made by direct debit go to the online payment agreement for more information though interest and late payment penalties continue to accrue on any unpaid taxes after april 18th the failure to pay the tax penalty rate is cut in half while an installment agreement is in effect so you reduce the penalties and interest but possibly not eliminate them find more information about the costs of payment plans on the irs additional information on payment plans website other payment options wow the payment options are just there's just a plethora of payment options taxpayers struggling to meet their tax obligation may also consider these additional payment options you got the offer in compromise be careful with that one because you're basically saying i can't really well let's check it certain taxpayers qualify for settlement their tax bills for less than the total amount they owe by submitting an offer in compromise to help determine their eligibility they can use the offer in compromise pre-qualifier tool there's a link to that here to help taxpayers prepare their own valid offer in compromise the irs created an offer in compromise video playlist this is the thing often like advertised when people when people specialize in trying to trying to reduce the irs tax bill they're trying to get the offer in compromise so if you hear commercial saying yeah if you have 20,000 or 10,000 or whatever more in or more in debt then we'll help you out they're kind of usually alluding towards this procedure the offer in compromise although it's not the only thing that may possibly be done in situations that have high debt sometimes people just didn't file their tax returns sometimes for example they were contractors and they didn't write off any of their expenses so the iris just charged them on the income that was on the 1099s for example so that's to be a little bit different of a situation that you might remedy and a little bit different of a fashion than an offer in compromise but this is the one that they're usually kind of alluding to and the irs tries to say is is more and more i believe trying to say hey look we put everything on the offer in compromise on the website so you can see yourself if you qualify for it instead of instead of having it's not shouldn't be an elusive type of thing where it could be subject to manipulation and whatnot so check it out yourself here so also available in Spanish and simplify Chinese that walks them through the necessary paperwork temporary delaying collection there's a link to that here taxpayers can contact the irs to request a temporary delay of the collection process if the irs determines a taxpayer is unable to pay it may delay collection until the taxpayers financial condition improves penalties and interest continue to accrue until the full amount is paid other payment plan options taxpayers who do not qualify for online service self-service should contact the irs using the phone number or address on their most recent notice for other payment plan options for individuals and out of of business sole proprietors who are already working with irs campus collection and who owed 250 000 or less one available option is to propose a monthly payment that will pay the balance over the length of the collection status so in other words you can't if your debt is that high just automatically set up the payment plan you'll have to contact someone and then try to set up the payment plan and if it's that high then you got to still know what their max terms are that they're likely to accept because you're doing a negotiation here usually 10 years they're saying so these payment plans don't require a financial statement but they do require a determination for the filing of a notice of federal tax lien still applies so for for more information about payments c topic number 202

Hello and thanks for coming in, thanks for your interest. I'm going to talk about the download redirecter that obviously the employees and even though this is a generic project or generic useful piece of code which could be employed by other projects too I'm talking about it with some open SUSE context because that's where we use it and I hope it's nevertheless understandable for you if I talk too much about open SUSE specific terms then don't hesitate to interact with me. To introduce myself, I have been working with SUSE for 8 years working on the download infrastructure and also on build service and in the past I have been doing a lot of apartinations so I always fit into web stuff So what did we serve? We had lots of products like the release distributions then one and two and three then there are unstable snapshots, several architectures then there are sources, bug enforce, test trees, other test trees and then the build service, so it's recently which adds a lot to that So that's all, it doesn't sound too bad, does it? But this is really much Altogether we find 700 powerful fighters right now in the open SUSE tree and just to start all those fires takes a long time as you can guess and the size adds up to a total of nearly a terabyte meanwhile and we also have lots of download requests to that stuff So, well, it doesn't sound too bad, does it? The problem is there's no single big fat pipe which can handle that nobody has such an internet connectivity and there also isn't a mirror which can handle that much stuff I have called here the mirror which basically says oh, that's an added heavy weight, Debian and Ubuntu is just 200 gigabytes So naturally the commonly used solution to that problem is employing a content delivery network There are lots of them and they can handle that but they are dead expensive It's not really a question for us because we can maybe default that for one with today's opinion So it's not a solution for us So we need some kind of poor man's CDN This is basically what we're trying to build Luckily mirrors come to help Thinking about mirrors, it's interesting to know that they don't cooperate with us in any way that we can control them because they just mirror us for their own benefit Some making a business with it Some also want to help us and they simply mirror us if we want it or not We have not much influence What we can do is we can facilitate mirroring for them which is our interest In the past the mirrors used to be equal and they used to be equally useful because they were either mirroring us or not so if the mirror was mirroring us, it could fast enough for you, close enough to you then you can simply use it and stick to it and just do everything for the mirror But today they are really different because they don't mirror all the complete trees and for users it has become impractical to just stick one mirror on and stick with it So with all these trees that we offer, the size there's virtually no mirror that can mirror that completely so there are no complete mirrors Most mirrors are only some parts or mirrors can also be outdated they can, maybe they don't have caught up and they're already used to release products So what we see, there's partial mirrors and really only a few sites will actually mirror a terrarium It's actually even hard to find anyone just from mirroring the windows which are 200 megabits not even the largest source watch mirror has capacity for that at the moment I mean they have lots of capacity but they don't have no frequency right now to add this to their mix So we see partial mirrors and if that wasn't enough our content also has an extremely high turnover rate because it's not a tree that's released three times a year because we have a build service and skew updates and they are released basically all the time It could be every few minutes that new packages turn up So that's actually faster than it can be synchronized which in fact because during this time it's already so mirrors are some kind of unsharp picture so we have no up-to-date mirrors to be added to by this machine So what we add are partial mirrors so what can we do with that? Ah, another before the answer another thing which makes it even more complicated is that with open source binary package that we offer for download those packages are referenced in beta data and this beta data contains check sums and cryptographical signatures If there's something wrong or packages come from wrong version from the mirror then the client will trip over it So back to the question, what can we do? One thing would be maintaining mirror lists and trying to keep them up-to-date but that's extremely hard to maintain they are too static and they are never ever correct so mirror lists won't work to some extent for human users because if a human user downloads some user images then that's maybe two or five files then it's possible for the user or feasible for him to try two or three mirrors and then find out which one works for him but it's still annoying the mirrors out-of-date which they are and this trial and error process leads to or can lead to some effect which can be called source-fog effect because that's what happened to source-fog three years ago People will, in the process of finding the suitable mirror they will all end up with one mirror trying to use the same mirror because that's the one that has given them the least headache so at source-fog every user after some years went to the Irish mirror so probably for that but it will make mirrors overused so they're not really good anymore so there is one solution which is highly dynamically generated mirror lists so they virtually need to create it in real-time and even though we can't execute any controlled mirrors we can watch them carefully and see what's there so that's what we are doing so we redirect lines to mirrors that's what the redirecter is about and in order to be able to do that we need to know what the mirrors have so what we need is an inventory of files a kind of file list of each mirror which we need to keep up to date which we do by scanning them and then we need to periodically probe the mirrors by online at all in the live and with that in place we can redirect the clients HTTP requests the clients to mirrors and this is something that works with areas but not HTTP clients so it doesn't involve any specialised clients and while we're doing that we have the opportunity to locate the client see where it is located and which part of the world by where this IP address and we can load balance the requests based on mirrors capabilities so we can have the read mirrors and send them less requests if we know those mirrors we also have the opportunity to do sensible to allow to enable sensible caching of content because caching is always important because it frees the lines and saves bandwidth but we need to exactly set cash control years for that but we can do that because it works with our we do it on our own to create requests going through our infrastructure we can also decide to deliver files directly instead of redirecting so that is another demo control and that's why we actually use only HTTP not FTP because FTP is built too stable and can't have no way of cash control with cash arbitrary like 6 to 24 hours so the inventory that we need is obtained by scanning mirrors which will be by arzing mainly or for that queue so the arzing is not available the inventory is kept in database and there is an interesting characteristic of this inventory when we send our stuff, new stuff to servers then old stuff becomes often populated and files are deleted on the mirror in the data mentioned in the inventory the stuff will only disappear with the next scan from the next scan of the mirror but there is no problem for us because the files disappear first from the master itself so once they are gone there then we don't need to redirect for them or deliver them so there is actually no need to look up the inventory it will be cleaned up later but it doesn't matter the whole idea was to my knowledge first implemented and fall out by Christoph Thiel which we presented to you two years ago it didn't scale very long because first it was only used for some parts of the distribution but when we tried to use it for more parts it wasn't scaled enough it was redesigned a year ago and rewritten as a pattern module in C which is called Mott-Zilka Glow and there are some similar frameworks which have similar approaches which also inspire the design so if you wonder about the name which nobody can pronounce, memorize and so on I came to the name because during the time I thought about this stuff I visited Slovakia and I went to a concert in this location which is called Klub-Zilka Glow and later I learned that this means behind the mural so it seemed like some kind of very possible name so how does it work? there is some step-through here the redirector first looks at the file you can or should be redirected at all then it cleans up the file name because usually there are lots of sim-links in the trees and it will end up with lots of double files in the database so we can utilize the file name and just ignore some links then the redirector looks up country and continent of the client then it looks up possible murals for that client and sort them by distance then it also makes note of previously used murals by that client so it memorizes the kind of association between previously used murals and after the local mural and on the mural from the country and the preferred mural it will next look at the murals from the same region and then at the rest of the world so it sorts them and after that from the best available murals it chooses one by random this random choice is also influenced by some kind of value that we define from each mural which gives them greater or lesser chances in case then since we tried away the redirector or it may serve the file directly if no mural was found this regime has lots of advantages those redirects are very cheap so it's probably scalable it's very integrated with the web services because it's transparent it gives you control when to redirect and when not so this is the maximum control that you can have or want to have about how it starts to serve it proved to be very scalable during last year when we released the last product we had no problems at all so it was so solid that I could actually go with mutation and no full rank other advantages are that the centralized approach gives us the opportunity to count downloads and it's also possible to integrate a real content delivery network some kind of a wirecard mural which is always added into the mix which we also did with the kind of free release and then there's something special we can serve live muralists instead of redirecting so that's the kind of return muralists I talked about so client would actually get a list of murals and then figure out what it is so all this makes small and partial murals useful for us so in fact the time that we need large murals, powerful murals are actually nearly over because we won't find a lot of murals that are extremely huge trees that we often so what we actually need what we can have is lots of murals which are not low we want terabyte maybe 60 gigabyte is enough so if we could just mural the most popular 10% of content then we are fine and we can have more murals and everybody's happy and one of the best advantages of the thing is that it's not hopeless specifically so it can be used with our download services disadvantages are that murals die without warning murals break all the time it's just natural and the reliability of the entire frame works only as good as it has so what we do is we monitor murals as closely as possible and if one mural fails then we disable it automatically in the database and stop redirecting to it and check back later but there's a certain time window when we detect the failure and actually disable the mural because we can't check it all the time and so there's also always weird failures which are very hard to detect or find out like firework problems that you only can find out about after two or three weeks of debugging with things that sometimes don't work but they work most of the time and here's some interesting potential for the hopensuzut download client because it could make use of the muralists and actually fall back to other murals it's also important to know that with this kind of infrastructure every request run through the central server so this server needs to be up and so it needs to be high ability high ability setup with proper load balancing and so you can set out several of the redirectors that's not a problem it's mostly, at least for us, more problem of the budget because we still have only a senior machine for that but I hope that will change in the future so it's not a design problem of the redirector, it's just a budget problem of the hardware we have but other than throwing hardware at it for us it's also possible to use it and make it use murals so this is my call to the hopensuzut folks I hope we can implement that in the future down times in general are often acceptable for healing users if they don't hurt too frequently but they are often very bad for machines because software acts up and users don't want to deal with error messages so we can, I think we really should make sure that our specialized client has special support for dealing with failures and yeah, falling back to murals let's get through a bit quickly here because I actually already left that and I want to save some time I could expand on the number of optimizations that we did during the process of setting this up so it was some database optimization it's crucial that it's scalable enough and other optimizations are that we try to deal or try to respect certain mural needs or special needs for remote regions like New Zealand that have special internet connectivity so special support for all of this to give you some numbers we directly opened this org which served our last product release in the autumn of last year so I indeed about per second deliver content to the client and that was only the content that we redirected to the network and what we redirected to murals is not new content here and as you see we have several million requests each day I probably not to discuss the other approaches to detail now because time is running out there are some other things like split, it would work well but require a split which won't happen probably really content delivery networks work by adding intelligence to standard DNS we have the static bureau this is not more feasible there is a similar module like modular but it requires interaction with murals the modular project has a so called bouncer which is basically a similar approach and the Fedora approach is also very similar and the difference that they have logic on the client and on the server side so that works together we like so what we have with the current set of R that all fees are a bit and we need to think about splitting them up more and at least offer more fine-grained well thought out R's importance to mirror from like the 10% most popular stuff I mentioned and we need to make sure that we don't just put more stuff into the trees and it's blindly mirror and just fills that disk we need to improve our infrastructure I mentioned it already we need to do better monitoring and we have still some old infrastructure left like the mirror lists that were maintained in the old system which were pretty static and edited by people they are not similar to the system really there are certain ideas which I will skip now if you talk about it thank you for listening ask me if there are any questions what do you currently determine if the mirror is dead what is your criteria for declaring it is dead we check that every 3 minutes we are actually being pressed on the base URL so we would like to improve on this by checking real files and like random file downloads, things like that and we need to expand on checking for large file capabilities and things like that so there is a lot of potential did I get it correctly that you also have some algorithms in place that do kind of load balancing that you don't always redirect one potential mirror if this one hits you yes, so that is a weighted randomization that we do and we give the mirrors weight individually so by having to make sure that a small mirror only gets very few requests but it is still useful and a small mirror might get more requests for files that only this mirror has so we can play together we also have related to that we also have the way of making sure that a mirror in say Israel only gets request from Israel or a mirror in Australia is a preferred mirror for clients in New Zealand so because they mostly go to Australia so it is not helpful to do that but that is the knowledge that you have to enter manually that is probably possible to obtain some things might be possible to find out by client feedback client would give us feedback about mirrors that work well for him so there is also potential yes maybe just three times or if you do trace from the play how many hops and feed this back what kind of connection are there any plans for the party repositories like that good question I think I haven't thought about it we can talk about that to the build service folks um it might be problematic because of files that we may not be allowed to believe but for other stuff but right now implementation expects the files to be there so that helps us a lot for determining if the file is if it is useful to re-elect it if it is fresh if it can be cash and stuff like that so it might be difficult basically it is packed with people so otherwise Peter is of course also a taboo so so thank you very much


I want to ask you about, during that time, was this before 50 Cent? What's that for? Or was it after? Before. Oh, everything. Don't make me. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. 101. Yeah, we going to talk. Your fans. You got a lot of fans, bro. Man, it's a pleasure. You know, you was gone for a long time, and people still love Twisted Black. And it's crazy. And I just talked about you on the show probably four months ago, it was a thing with me and Kenny B. Yeah. And Kenny B was, he was shouting out the yellow beads and they don't, don't get me wrong, in the Traboy Freddy's and how he's seen them. And the people in my comments went crazy, you know, they like, he ain't learned. He got, he talking about them, man, what about Twisted Back and go, yeah, yo, you know, nigga's going to talk that time. And you been gone a long time, but for them to come for him like that. And so when he came back, he came back after that, after they had said that. And I say, hey, man, last time you was on the show. I was really getting at you about the Twisted Black and the go, yeah, yo. And the fact that these two guys, and I said, do you remember them? And he gave his explanation. So I thought that was live. So it's just stuff like that. Believe me, when this clip come out, you will know. When I posted you here lately, they said, they were like, did he, you said it was yellow beads and Traboy Freddy, you like nobody else, you ain't really heard had nobody like that over there in the footwork, big. And then some people said, go, yeah, yo, some people said, not only go, yeah, yo, some people said, Twisted Black. And I was like, man, he don't really do you. How do you feel about like, do you know, remember them or you just a younger, younger generation? I mean, I remember them because Twisted Black, he DM me.  But, you know, they they generation like all the classmen. Because it will be him. He will be saying, you know, I can't remember. No, no, no, he's your love. He's your love, man. He knew already, but he might think he can talk to alluded to even working with you or something. Yeah, it was something like that. So believe me, it's going to come through.  Get out. I got another question about because you're going to go back to the when I think about women, us women, right? And we go through something like that.  We wanted this, that whatever. As a man, how did it affect you? Did it it was the same for you as how we deal with it? Or what at the time?  Yeah, right. Not only 19 year old, I mean, 19 year by that time, I was on a couple of bricks and, you know, I had about 40, 50,000 thought I was. Yeah, I thought you was going down there. Me too. I remember. Fresh everything. So I thought I was on time. No, I was super smooth. No bumps, no blemishes, no cut. I could fight a little bit to you. Yeah, you couldn't tell me that. So yeah, now I'm going to ask you a question. My mother, this goes back to my mother. OK, she knew. So I remember one day in the mirror, I'm answering detail, but I had this they did. They had to they had to stitch. The the patch on there. And I caught her looking at me one day. You know, she was changing. It came off and she was so she saw it. Change the dress. She and I'm like, what's wrong? She said nothing. You know, I just want to I just don't want that to affect you. You know, right?  And so they wanted to do a cosmetic surgery. I'm like, what's that for? So we can fix it. And then, you know, right. And I and I like to not to do it in hindsight. I would have done it now because what that can either make you or break you because you can't hide your face. Right. You walk in the room. You know, little kids, the stairs. They're going to stare. So what I would do because of the way I was built is if I see you staring and remember what my dad taught me, I can see you. I may be looking directly at you. I'm not saying I'm no more special than anybody else, but I was perfect vision, right? And if I can't you stand, I just turn and look like. Then they look away. Yeah, they look away, but then, you know, I'm going to treat you with this thing. But if you ask the question like, well, I got because it was cool, but you got the man up and asked me. Right. So it was hard because it's insecurity. And then I was young and so I had to fight against the insecurity. I don't really have it anymore. But how long did it take to get over it now? You don't get over it. You don't ever get over it. It just becomes a part of you. You know, my record level scar for life records. My group was one good side. You know, you start to use it or use it. And that's who you are. Like if somebody's going to say, hey, you know, you know, twist the black, no, who is the one with scorn? You say, can't get away from that. Right.  So you just embrace it, man, because but it can break you too. It empowers a lot of other people, too. By the way, I just had to say that because there's a lot of other people out here who whether burned victims who have to walk around a certain way and for you to move on and move on, although with confidence.  So they're looking at that and be like, man, if he can do that and become this person, I sure can do it too. So you have to use it to motivate others. That's all I look at it. If it does, then that's great. I didn't look at it like that, you know, but, you know, at this stage of the game, anything to help propel somebody else, man. Exactly. You know what I mean? I want to ask you about during that time, was this before 50 cent? Oh, was it after? Before everything. Don't make me. You see, I'm saying 50 cent. Because I'm looking at this thing and did it, did it affect your speech? Boom. No, you see what I'm saying? OK, let me ask you all the questions. Do y'all think I have a list? No, no. Oh, thank you. I got with just the question because my wife is the only person that swears I have a list, but she only do it. It's not that bad because all of a sudden now. Oh, yeah, we've been running together, bro. That's one of the things I don't get caught up in that. Don't even ride, bro. You ain't got to list with me on him.  But you don't know the one who said, but until you go to somebody like, man, you see this mess up and mess they didn't see it till you mentioned. No, no, no, no. Before you said that, before you said it was your wife, everything was cool. Yeah, right. It was, it was, it was, it was, it was, it was. But when you said it was your wife that said it, that woman power thing, it don't get caught up in that, bro. No, because I was looking straight in your mouth when you were talking, I'm like, you can see it now. No, no, no, no, we were good, man, we were good. That's wild. But I ain't meant like. Now we're sitting together like that? We'll be mad. We'll be mad. We'll be mad. We'll be mad. We'll take over. All the rappers, let's. Come together. Come together. So, so when you seen a 50 cent thing happen. Yeah. What did you think? In the Bible it says, who goes around, comes around. I'm gonna shot me three weeks later, he got shot down. Well, I've seen it happen so many times. Many times. Like I have a good eye, not that that was a good idea, but something, you know, it'll be in my head or something that'll happen in my life. Somebody else will take it and beat me to the punch. Yeah. So, I'm watching him and, you know, of course I was, I'm a fan of music, but I was hating on the fact that he.  He ain't got no scar. You comparing the size.  No, but no, no. In your mind after getting you young. Yeah, but nah, it wasn't that young. How was it? Grown, but. Nah, you young, man. You know, the 50 cent came out of 2000, what? He was in 2000, but then I was just like, damn, you know. So, now I'm thinking to myself, well, damn, so much for, because that was always going to be my thing. Hey, dude, got shot in the face. You dig what I'm saying? He came back. Yeah. You know what I mean? You know, then he kind of beat me to. He shot, got shot nine times. Nine times. I think it was five. Nine times. They said it was nine. Hey, but. The movie showed nine. Somebody said three. You know, everybody got the right. Yeah, but you know how. But I love, I love his creativity. You can see how he working now. Man. He is. Oh, you had that idea too. What? In prison, all I kept thinking about was. TV shows. See, my end game was always the silver screen. Okay. I always wanted to, you know, at the end, I wanted the right plays. I wanted to do movies and stuff like that. Which I still will. Yeah. But when he came with BMF, when he came. And pow. And shout out to 50 for doing it, man. He's done it well. The killer. Having his son play him and all of that. I want to do the same thing.  So he beat me. Was that his son who played 15? Yeah. I didn't even know that. That's hard, man. Yeah, man. He got reinventing himself real well. That's dope. You beat me to the gunshot. You beat me to the, to the movies. You beat me to the bag. Man, come help me. You've been hanging out in Texas. I've been getting used to them a lot now. Man, man, pull up before I wear them.


Let's see, claims that I'm live. So hello everyone, so welcome on behalf of the Linux security summit program committee. Welcome to this our first also referred third Linux security summit Europe which we see are taking our virtually as probably nearly everything else in this planet. Despite that fact that we are going virtual and things I think we have received a lot of submissions so considerable submissions given that for this kind of a bit unusual arrangement and we even first considered having like two panels for the summit but then we just couldn't fit the second panel so we just didn't want to reject a good talk. So thank you everyone who has submitted the talk proposals and thank you for the authors who has prepared their talks and since this is a virtual event I would like to encourage everyone to use the platform facilities to communicate as much as possible, ask questions, provide feedback for the speakers because obviously being virtual it's very limited how we can interact the famous networking whole whole way discussions and all kinds of things are very limited so please please provide feedback for the authors and speakers because it's important for people to hear that you are interested to hear some questions to hear some feedback and I guess it's it's it's still important to have these things despite that we are very limited and our ability is to communicate during the events because people still have important work we want to share we still have important results we want to show and this is a way to exchange and provide feedback and I think by now probably everyone has already gotten used to this new virtual reality for the conferences and stuff so I guess without further ado so welcome once again and hope you enjoy the conferences in the talk.


The following is a presentation of TFNN. The Morning Market Kickoff with your host, Tommy O'Brien. Good morning, everybody. I'm Tommy O'Brien, coming to you live from TFNN Wednesday morning, 9.06 AM. We got about 24 minutes to go until the start of trading. All the market's picking things up in positive territory. Right now, you're looking at an S&P, positive by 16 points. We were a good 20 points above the price level we're talking about right now up to 43.40 overnight. Right now, we're trading at 43.19. Man, early yesterday, you were trading at 43.99. Quite the sell-off, intraday. Yesterday, you go from about 43.74. We make a low of 42.80. Right into the close last night, we get a little bit of a bounce on the close, but you look where we are, and we're basically chopping around between about 43.00 and 43.20. You did rise above that price level between about 5.00 AM and 7.30 AM this morning. NASDAQ 100, up about 48 points right now, back above 14,000, 14,051. We're still talking about nearly 300 points below where we were yesterday, early, early yesterday.  Dow up 150 right now at 33,418. You got the Russell up nine right now, trading at 2,015. We jumped to Bitcoin, 43,775. Quite the pop in Bitcoin over the last couple of days, up to 45,000 and change. And you want to talk about pops. How about crude? 112 bucks. We're talking to our man, Teddy Kegstad, at 40 past the hour. He was calling for $100 oil, man, right past that level to 112. We'll see what his take is on that market, as well as in the forex market. Coming up at 40 past the hour. Jumping down to gold. Gold off $8.00. We were up overnight to a price level above 1950, right where we were towards the end of the day yesterday. You've backed off a bit. You see a little bit of selling there at about 5.30 this morning. We jump over to notes and bonds. And we're getting a little bit of a reversal of the action we had yesterday. And man, the action in the yields of the 10 year and just the price movement of the 10 year.  And you're talking about, and I think you gotta go a little bit further. Let's go back. Yeah, you are talking about a move from about 126 up to 129. And right like that, we're back to 128. Folks, in the span of two or three days, we've had three points up and one point down. In the 10 year, all as we get Chairman Powell out there speaking today, we got jobs number ADP today. Let's jump over to that. ADP, private payrolls added 475,000 jobs in February. So this number, we get the non-farm payroll number in about 48 hours from now. Friday, 830 AM, non-farm payrolls will come in. Wage data in the non-farm payroll report gonna be very important. But we add 475,000 jobs in February. Now remember, these numbers diverge pretty dramatically sometimes. They did last month as you had ADP coming in a little light and then you had the non-farm payroll number along with the revisions beating in a big way this month for February, that is. We had 475,000 and they also revised its January account from a loss of 301. I hadn't even looked past the headline number folks because the ADP is not a big moving number usually. What is up with the revision? The payroll processing firm dramatically revised its January account from a loss of 301 to a gain of 509. Well, there's the reason why, as I stated, it was so far off from the non-farm payroll number. What kind of revisions you're working with that you say, hey, we're about 800,000 jobs off. We didn't lose 300,000, we gained 500,000. These readings are almost worthless if they can swing that far in 30 days, right? They are. Large companies and leisure and hospitality businesses contributing the biggest gains. Can you get down into that number? 500 or more workers responsible for almost all of the hiring. Big companies, small companies struggling right now. Firms fewer than 50 employees recorded a loss. We'll see if those get revised. By sector, leisure and hospitality, biggest gains increase of 170,000. Trade, transportation and utilities, almost 100,000 added professional and business services contributing 72,000. On the goods producing side manufacturing added 30,000. And as they say, though the two can differed widely, the ADP count serves as a precursor to the more widely watched non-farm payrolls report comes out Friday. The market's looking for 440,000 there. But boy, man, I think I just almost wasted 60 seconds covering this. If you're gonna have those types of revisions a month forward, as they revised January from a loss of 301 to a gain of 509. Makes more sense with how the private, without the non-farm payrolls number came in for January. All right, what else we got going on? We got some companies with earnings, but let's jump around to some of the headlines I got going on. Yeah, we've all seen it, but pretty interesting in terms of what's going on in Russia, man, just from a financial perspective. Stock markets are closed again, right?  Yeah, Russia will keep local stock trading. Here we go, closed for a third day as it's wealth fund prepares to deploy billions of dollars to buy the country's stocks. We'll see how that plays out. I mean, it's a scary deal. I talked about it yesterday, no matter how this gets resolved, it's tough to see a good resolution at this point because Putin is so entrenched, he's gotta save face, he can't abandon. And when you combine that with the fact of how isolated Russia's gonna be, regardless of where this ends, a scary proposition for the future of Russia and the Russian people as the list of companies. I mean, what's gonna happen, man? Russia's got, I think, I was looking up like 145 million citizens.  They can't do business with anybody. They can't, et cetera, et cetera. Not a good deal to be that isolated when you're under the control of somebody like Putin to say the least. The market's a little freaked out right now. Okay, we jump to Mr. Jerome Powell. Powell sees Fed rate lift off in March while Ukraine fogs outlook effects on U.S. and the Ukraine war, highly uncertain, he says. Can't disagree with that one, man. Lots of uncertainty right now going on. Fed must be nimble in data response, evolving outlook. I mean, just trying to play out the implications of oil going from 90 bucks on Friday to 112 on Wednesday, just those implications alone are very difficult to forecast. At the time of record inflation in my lifetime, you don't need oil jumping 6% a day, 10% a day to influence that inflation even more. Now, many times when inflation has risen previously it's been a result of energy prices. The core number this time though, the core number is off the charts without energy and food. You add those two on top of it, the headline CPI number, it is a big number. And if we start dealing with oil at these numbers, you're gonna see some headline CPI numbers that persist at a higher rate than the Fed was thinking. That's gonna be an interesting one to see if then they maybe go back to the core, if oil's higher, but if you go to the average American man, you got oil pushing 110 right now and war persisting between Russia and Ukraine, not sure where that one resolves itself. But yeah, Powell must be nimble in their response with inflation well above 2% and a strong labor market, we expect it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the federal funds rate at our meeting later this month. Can't be more clear than that, folks. Powell said Wednesday in remarks prepared for his appearance before the House of Financial Services Committee, the process of removing policy accommodation in current circumstances will involve both increases in the target range of the federal funds rate and reduction in the size of the balance sheet. 10 a.m., right at the end of this program, he'll start talking, but those remarks are already out.

Right now, up 17 points trading at 43.20. We jumped to some of the companies to sprinkle them around with earnings last night. You had CRM, Salesforce, with their numbers last night after the bell. We're getting into the actual numbers right now in a moment, but Salesforce up about eight bucks. But first, we're gonna jump over to our man, Kevin Hinks. Every trading day, folks, 12 noon Eastern time fast market on the TD Ameritrade Network right here on Tiger TV. Kevin Hinks, Tom White, the team at TD Ameritrade Network, they break down the day's market action. They bring out some great guests, talking to find risk, hypothetical trade setups, folks. One of the best ways I was able to learn options trading. Kevin Hinks, where do we start again, man? We got earnings, we got FedSpeak out there, and we got yields right back to almost 1.8%. Kevin, good morning. Good morning, Tommy O'Brien. Yeah, if anyone out there was expecting OPEC Plus to come to the rescue in terms of oil production, they just had about a 15-minute meeting and changed nothing. So if you're waiting for them to come to the rescue, that's why Crudeau is currently $110. So it reminds me, Tommy, one of my favorite movies is Darkest Hour, the story about Winston Churchill. One of the best quotes from that movie is, you cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth, Tommy. And so we're trying to deal from an area of weakness when it comes to Crudeau. And the people that we need to help us have no interest in helping us, Tommy. You know, it's remarkable. I was reading some of Fed Chairman's Powell's remarks that are out before he starts talking at 10 o'clock Eastern time this morning, and he was talking about just the uncertainty, which is to put it lightly with what's going on in Ukraine and Russia. And I said, man, just the uncertainty alone, Kevin, when you got oil going from 90 bucks to 112 from Friday to Wednesday, that alone, the uncertainty that that presents, let alone everything else that comes with the unfortunate situation going on over there, a lot of uncertainty to put it lightly in this market for the chairman and for this market. And the VIX reflecting that, man, with yesterday's action, we're still at 3318. We were up to 35 basically yesterday. Yeah, so we have Chairman's Powell today, some strong ADP number. What did you think of the revision? Did you see the revision, Kevin, of the ADP number from January? They went from a loss of 300,000 jobs to a gain of 500. It makes sense with how strong the non-farm payroll number was in there, but pretty remarkable. Some of the volatility and even the economic numbers coming out. Well, yes, of course, I saw that number. I saw it come out live and I just spoke about it on the air. And I can say, what is going on that they missed by that much? What, a relief like that, where you revise 800,000 jobs should come with some type of a disclosure and an explanation of how you missed so badly. Because in my view, it minimizes the effectiveness and the legitimacy of that report. How do you miss by, that was a big deal when that number came in negative 300,000. How does that happen? And then they revise it to plus 500,000. When I see something like that, Tommy, personally, I stop looking at that piece of data. Kevin, you're speaking my language, man. I let off the show and I'm going through the article. I said, talk about Barry and the lead, right? With the revision in there. And then I said, folks, I probably just wasted a minute of my time talking about these numbers. If that's the type of revision 30 days forward, you're gonna see, because what's the point of covering the headline number, man, if it goes from minus 300 to plus 500 a month in advance. So I agree, it's staggering, man. But we get the non-farm payroll number on Friday and the market waits for that, of course. We'll look for wage data. We got some companies moving with earnings already today. Nordstrom, accelerating higher, man, quite a pop for them from 19 and change up to 27 last night. You're at 24. Salesforce, some decent numbers out there as well. What are you guys gonna be talking about coming up at noon today, Kevin? Yeah, we got three good names for it today. Like, Folio's gonna do a presentation on Best Buy. And then we're gonna do Snowflake and Splunk. So real good names today, second level, but still really good names today as we get to the back end of earnings season. Pretty cool, man. I got a chart of Best Buy up here on the Thinkorswim platform. You're up to 141.97. Late last year, you pull back, man. And I got a Fibonacci retracement, Kevin, going from the COVID lows of 48 bucks to the high of 141. And we came within literally about a buck and a half of the 618 retracement folks. I got it up on the chart. I like those Fibonacci numbers sometimes. I keep my eye on them, but pretty remarkable some of the retracements, Kevin. We've gotten in this market Best Buy, one of them. I'll be watching the program to see how you guys are gonna trade it, man. We appreciate the conversation, man. The education as always, Kevin. We'll be watching at 12 noon Eastern time today. Have a great day, Tommy. Thanks for having me out. You too, Kevin. Always a pleasure, man. Take care. Folks, tune in every trading day with everything going on right now. It is a great time to check out their program. They get some great guests that they bring on. Like Folio does a tremendous job if you've never checked it out. Talking about consumer sentiment. Pretty cool how they break things down like Folio, especially when you're talking about the consumer side, consumer sentiment side of some of these equities as they come out with their earnings. Best Buy, we jump over to the Analyze tab. You're talking about a $10 move, so more than a 10% move priced into their numbers. You're trading at $97, their earnings out tomorrow. Tomorrow, March 3rd, $10.50 to a cent move priced in for a $97 equity. And as I said, always nice when you get that type of a pullback, man. I love the 382, I love the 618. Those are my two favorites. You see that area? At least you have a plan when you have that type of price action, folks. It's an area that you at least have a plan as in your backs against the wall, the 618, trades below there, your plan has gone wrong. And you can at least get out. You pop, there you are. You trade down to 85.58. I got on this chart, 84.08. Now let me see pre-market, where we went to, because sometimes, yeah, 82.51, pre-market to be exact, okay? So it does not show up some of the pre-market action when you put this thing on a weekly or a daily. So it actually made it down to 82 and changed just below that area on the 618 before it popped a lot of equities doing the same thing, folks.  I mentioned it, check it out. Same exact formation, basically. You trade up from COVID lows to a high, a 618 retracement, that retracement. You just jump below that 618 briefly on Thursday morning. You've popped a bit, Salesforce was out with their numbers after the bell last night. I'm gonna bring up their numbers. I don't think I have it up right now. I was reading them this morning, strong numbers. Let me see if I got, I think this was the one I was reading about. Yeah, so this is gonna be some tiny text here. I'll blow it up. But they top 7 billion in quarterly revenue for the first time. Very excited about Slack was kind of the theme between the CEO and chairman and founder, is it Benoit? Mark Benoit, I think. Remarked how acquisitions like Slack and Tableau Software, its largest acquisition in Till Slack have transformed the company. Yeah, $27.7 billion they spent on Slack. And they said $592 million of its 14.19 billion, the deposit from the last two quarters was from Slack. Margin slipping a little bit, dropping a 15% from 19.8 for the quarter, but you come in on the year at I think it was 18.7%. Yeah, for the year, Margin's 18.7% and they're doing $7 billion a quarter in revenue. Decent numbers and sales force. You're gonna trade a little bit higher on the open. We'll see how they fare on the opening bell, but sales force up to 250 and 50. Excuse me. And as I mentioned, right back to the 618, you plunge below that level on the early Thursday action of last week. There are a lot of equities folks that plunge through some levels last week on Thursday. But man, you look at how they performed on that day, might have found a bottom on some of these equities sales force. We'll see how they open in three minutes when we come back. Market's catching a little bit of a bid in the last few minutes. You got the S&Ps back up 20 points, about half a percent. You got the NASDAQ 148. You got the Dow up 175. Stay tuned folks.

That's more than half a percent in the green. You got the NASDAQ 100 up about 410th percent, trading at 14,059, Dow catching a bid, up about two-thirds percent, 222 points in the green in the Russell, up 16 points as well. Bitcoin, negative $375 right now, $43,910.  Crude oil holding pretty well at 110. As I mentioned, we talked to our man, Teddy Kegstad from forex-trading-unlock.com. Coming up the next segment, folks. We'll be talking some crude. We'll be talking some forex. Always interested in that conversation. Always a great nine minutes. Go contract. Give him back some of the gains. You're off 12 bucks right now at 1931. And no 10 bonds pulling back right now. You're talking about a yield rising pretty quickly to almost near 1.8 percent. Where are we at right now? We're at 1.79 percent. We were at 1.7 percent yesterday. Risk off. We were at about 2 percent last week. Staggering, staggering moves in the 10-year. Now, what I will say is when you had the 10-year yesterday trading up from 1.2706 to 1.2802 at 7 in the morning, you did have some volatility, but you were back there by 10.40. That was an indication that things may go south with the market more so than they were at that time. Because to bring back where the market was at that time, OK, let's do it again to make sure in terms of exactly time. Because I've seen it before, folks. And any time you see the yields move so dramatically and the market hasn't caught up yet, so at 7 in the morning, you had yields up a point and a half from where they were at 2 in the morning. So again, 7 in the morning, OK? The S&Ps yesterday at 7 in the morning were still trading at 43.40. We had another 60 points to go to the low spokes, and we're still below where we were yesterday when the yields were at that level, OK? Something to keep your eye on. Anyway, there's the chart, because that was quite a move. The market probably should have been down more. If you had the price of yields up that much, you had yields down so much. You had the price of the 10-year futures up so much, and you saw that escalation pretty much all day yesterday. All right, let's jump around to some of the other stories I've got pulled up here, jumping around. Yeah, I mean, this headline, it's almost not even worth going into, but we know how it happens. Commodities hit new highs as traders shun Russian purchases. We'll be talking a little bit of crude coming up on the next segment. How about Ford? They're going to reorganize to run EV and engine businesses separately. They set target for 2 million annual electric vehicles by 2026. It's going to operate distinctly from Ford Blue and their E-Unit. Market probably is going to like this, folks, all right? Yeah, and you trade higher on that news.  They're coming quick with their full fleet of electric vehicles and their stock being rewarded. So the newly formed Ford Model E-Unit will scale up the automakers EV offerings and develop software, connected vehicle technology and services for all of the company. I mean, what's going to happen, folks, is the gas vehicles, they're going to get phased out. So it would make sense that you have two different units, one of them completely focused on electric units, electric vehicles that will be the future. Ford's ambition will be to become a truly great world changing company again, and that requires focus. That's the CEO Jim Farley. We're going all in, creating separate but complementary businesses that give us startup speed and unbridled innovation. The shakeup, along with new targets for higher EV production and overall profitability, have Ford trading higher today. And we take a look at Ford. Now talk about getting a little bit ahead of yourself here. They launched the electric truck, the Ford 150, the electric Ford 150, and the market just doubles from the span of September to highs at 2587. Quite a pullback recently, but out of curiosity. Let's see where we are on a Fibonacci pullback here. We took a look at the run we had. Basically started September 20th. That's quite a pullback. Yeah, almost a 786, that full pullback. And that is with a low of $1596. And I'm guessing if we put this on a chart, you actually made it to $1579. It was the low of last Thursday. So yeah, I mean, that's quite a pullback. That breaks all Fibonacci levels there. But you're sitting right at the 618, which is interesting, with that entire run you had, from 12 to 2587, sitting at 1767. Right now, you jump over to the Analyze tab. You jump over to the Fundamentals. We're talking about a company valued at $770 billion. So that's quite a valuation for Ford. But yeah, up 6% adding to that valuation today. Let's see how some of the other companies who had their earnings open up. Salesforce, they give up some of those gains on the open. You're still positive by 1.2%. We talked about Ford, had their numbers. Let's see how Nordstrom's dealing on the open. Yeah, up 30%, man. So I was reading about this again during one of the breaks during the program. Key strides in its off-price rack business. I'm a big fan of Nordstrom Rack. They had a nice one in Tampa, been there many times. And the Nordstrom Rack had been struggling because they were struggling to pick up goods when this is during the pandemic, the rack has struggled to procure merchandise since it relies on other appellable brands to offload items to sell at clearance with less clothing inventory to go around. The company has had difficulty stocking shelves and they compete with other off-price chains. TJ Maxx, Ross Burlington, and Macy's Backstage. Not familiar with Macy's Backstage, but I guess trying to copy a Nordstrom Rack. Earnings, $123 versus a buck O2. They beat on revenue as well. And forecasted growth. They're gonna grow at 5% to 7% compared to 2021 levels. They were looking for 3.7. The market loves that. It sees earnings excluding the impact of any share repurchase activity in the range of $315 to $350. Market was only looking for two bucks. So they beat kind of across the board there and they're getting rewarded for that. And you got Nordstrom up 30 bucks, excuse me, 30% right now, up $6 almost at $25.44. We take a look at Nordstrom on a three-year weekly. And yeah, I mean, if this is the turnaround folks, they got a long way to go right now. You came into COVID at 40 bucks. You were as high as 45 early last year. Let's just see out of curiosity. I mean, probably like 786 again. Yeah, another deep 786 retracement. And you're sitting right at the 618 again. I don't really like trading that 786, but it is a Fibonacci price level to keep your eye on and the market chops around there before it trades higher. But decent, decent forecast, which is what you like to see in an equity folks in terms of forecasted growth. And you're talking about a market valuation right now about $4 billion. Not a bad valuation. When you think about if they are gonna about to turn around and ramp up their profitability and their sales, they'll stop being able to procure merchandise for the Nordstrom Rack, et cetera. Not a bad market capitalization to be able to grow from, especially when you got about a double that's potential. If you just trade back to the hyzer, you were at last year for Nordstroms. All right, let's jump down the line and see what else we got going on. We talked about Nordstroms, Salesforce, Ford. Ross stores was out with their numbers as well. They were trading higher pre-market. They beat with a bucko for a share. Market was looking for 87 cents. They have 5.02 billion versus 4.96. That's not it, R-O-S-T, I think. There it is. You're up 8% for Ross stores and pretty similar deal, right? In terms of quite a pullback for these equities as we were not quite out of COVID like we thought. I mean, recall, vaccines start coming to fruition. Last March, last April, people getting double vaccinated, right? We're kind of breaking back out. And then we got a couple of waves and we realized it wasn't over unfortunately and you had these stores trading back from 134 to 96. Stay tuned, folks. We'll come back with Teddy. It should be a great conversation, we'll be right back.

And right now, folks, we got crude oil up about 6%. At 109.50, we were up as high as 112.51. Let's jump over to our man, Teddy Kegstad. You can reach Teddy, folks, every trading day at forex-trading-unlock.com. We talk to Teddy every Wednesday at 40 past the hour. I've been waiting for this one, Teddy. Good morning, man. Good morning. How about the crude market today, huh? I don't know. How about it, man? I haven't noticed it. Where are we, Teddy? Yeah, quite a market in this man doesn't. Well, we're up $15 and since Sunday night. That's what we are. Congrats on the call that's been out there for longer than I can remember, man. Quite a market, quite a run-up. And you've been talking about $100 crude for a while. And, man, we just blew through that remark. So give us a little take on what you're looking at for crude now that we're sitting at 110 with everything on, Teddy. I think we definitely have. Well, after last night's speech, we know for sure now that the solidified bull rally in oil is not going to stop. It's going to keep on going in a big way, too. Like, we blew through $100.  We're not going to have a chance for people to check their pocketbooks and not buy gas to control this thing. We're going up to $150. And if these policies, especially what's going on with the Ukraine, keep continuing with the tone that we have right now, we'll see over $150 a barrel easily, very, very soon. So, I mean. What tone is that? I'm not really aware when you say that. Okay, well, you look at last night. You put, we know that in the last week, we put all these sanctions on Russia. We also announced our country and these other countries that any country that deals with Russia, sanctions will be put on them, correct? I mean, this is something that's been going on now for a week. They've been speaking about this or dealing with the banks and what have you. Well, we're in violation of our own sanctions. We're buying oil from Russia right there. So until we change that tone and stop buying oil from Russia and turn our pumps back on, this is not stopping. We're paying for Putin's war right now, okay? So this is not going to stop. Oil will not go down until we start pumping, you know? And now you have China kicking up their heels. Japan's worried, you know? And there's already talked that Japan wants us, you know, if they're part of NATO as well, you know?  Supposedly, what happens when China kicks up their heels with Taiwan, you know? Are we going to help give oil to Japan? Well, no, they're going to have to deal with Russia. Where else are they going to get it from, you know? The closest place they can get it from is there, you know? So I mean, this is going to continue to escalate, you know, and as far as the price of oil, I can't even begin to see why it would not continue to go higher, you know? I mean, there's nothing set right now that would do that, you know? We would have to start turning our pumps, you know? To tell the Middle East to pump more, which they are, what's that going to do? I mean, that's not going to change things, you know? And as far as these sanctions, if you think that Putin's not selling oil to other countries, well, he's selling it to us, so he's still bringing in money, you know? And they don't deal in ruble, so it doesn't matter that the ruble's crashing, you know? I mean, you have a commodity that you have, I mean, the strength of the dollar right now is there, you know, and the biggest vulnerability we have now is that oil is helping to keep the dollar strong, also with our interest rate posture that's helping to keep it strong. What happens if all of a sudden we did turn on the pumps and what have you and the price of oil correct collapses and gets back down to 30 bucks? What does that do to the U.S.? It's good for the consumer, but to the dollar, it could have a big impact on the dollar, you know? So then all of a sudden, the dollar, it starts to go down, you know? See, right now we're in an inflationary period. The dollar's strong, we can handle inflation to a degree. What happens when you have inflation and then you have a devaluing dollar? That's gonna be very dangerous for our economy, especially the forex markets. Yeah, it's pretty remarkable, everything going on right now. With the influences, the variants, the volatility and crude showcasing that most men, talked about many times, man, it's, you know, of all the things going back and I'm just thinking out loud, Teddy, the oil trade might have been the best one going back to the COVID lows, man, because you go from negative 30, 40 bucks a barrel, man, and it's been basically a one-way trip up to 110 bucks. I think we've all learned a lot over the last two years about, you know, unfortunately how the world comes out of a pandemic, man, and we were all very wrong on a lot of facts as we started this off. So jumping from crude, we jumped to some of the other forex markets over in the world. What are you looking at with, man, it's like I've never experienced a geopolitical issue like this in my lifetime in terms of just everything in play worldwide, all the kind of players that are piling on and how that's impacting some of the currencies. What are some of the pairings that you're looking at most this week? Well, this week I'm definitely looking for the end. The end I think is gonna break out to the upside finally. It's been chopping around now for the past few weeks, but especially with what's going on with these tensions, I would expect them to start to break out to the upside, pushing the 117, 118 barrier. If we do break out to that upside level, that's a very good monthly and weekly breakout area also to help maintain the bullish trend. Everything that's going into play with higher oil and also everything else that's going on geopolitically, this helps to keep the bull market in the US dollar yen going. So I would say buy dip posture, looking for higher move highs, you know, 122 is still on my radar. As far as the Euro, that's a different story. The Euro is not looking so hot right now. I think that you're gonna start to see a continual erosion of the Euro and starting to hit support more and more as this war goes on. The Swiss, ironically, you know, we heard what they did yesterday as far as with the Russian freeze in bank accounts and what have you and stuff like that. I don't think that that's necessarily gonna be the biggest influence on their currency right now. I think it has more to do with what's going on with the EU and them having to help support the EU during this crisis, which I don't think is going to end anytime soon.  So there's a lot of momentum on their side right now. We don't need to get into the points of the argument, but the more, you know, I mean, especially with NATO, you know, the more we build up in these countries, the more of a friction point we're coming to, you know? So it's hard to ask someone else to turn around and back down when you're getting in their face more and more, you know? So I mean, this, I think these tensions are gonna continue to weigh on the Euro. Now the British pound, I'd be very careful with that one. I still think that that's a neutral currency and has a potential, especially if oil continues to rally there's a good chance that you'll see the British pound rally, actually, you know? So there's a big divergence going on in the currencies. And I would also look at the Australian dollar and the New Zealand dollar to continue to go to the upside. I think that they've rounded out a bottom. I don't think that, I mean, I don't wanna call a bottom, but right now with all the influences and especially with inflation and commodity prices as Australia comes back online and starts delivering more and more, especially to China, which is gonna be consuming again at a rapid rate, these are things that are gonna help with their currency. So that's why I'm very leery of what's gonna happen with the US dollar over the course of the next year. I think it's gonna stay strong in the short run, but we're starting to lose strength versus some of the major currencies. So if we do have a bottoming out period with Australian dollar per se and also the pound, those go against us, dollars can get hit really hard. Well, Teddy, we're gonna talk to you in a week, man. And who knows where oil's gonna be by that point, man. But listen, we appreciate the conversation as always, man. And I look forward to talking to you next Wednesday, Teddy. All right, take care, Tommy. You too, have a great week. Stay tuned, folks, we'll be right back. Sharpening your skills as an investor is like getting a musical instrument.

This one idea changed my whole perspective on dating. I used to think that being in a relationship was all about my happiness, how I could have a more fulfilled life. While we'd all hope that a relationship would bring us joy, this isn't the primary purpose of a relationship. Relationships ought to help us more fruitfully serve God, not less. If your partner gets in the way of your mission, you're missing the point. A question I want you to ask yourself is this, will this person help me pursue my God given calling and mission? Or will this person hinder it? The newness and excitement of a relationship may get you past the first months and perhaps even years, but once that all fades away we need to know that our relationship is going to move us towards Christ, not hold us back.

So Bungie have responded to the backlash surrounding the Lightfall DLC story and today guys we get into it all. How's it going people my name is DPJ and if you do enjoy the video leaving a like really helps out and if you like what you see and want to see more be sure to subscribe. So the majority of the community, the majority of the players who have brought and paid for the Lightfall DLC for Destiny 2 have seemingly are upset with the story, the direction, the narrative and so much more. Personally guys I don't mind I think it's okay I am out of touch with the story when it comes to Destiny because I've had that much of a break but the majority seem to be upset, the majority are disappointed, the majority are not happy with what we got with the Lightfall DLC and Bungie have responded within the latest twap. Now if you guys want to read through the entire twap you'll find that link down below. Those days for me our long gun will sit here for hours struggling to read what they put out in the twap but in regards to the story they have responded and they stay with the story has just begun. We know there are still plenty of questions left unanswered at the end of Lightfall's campaign that you're all eagerly awaiting answers to. As the events of Season of Defiance get into full swing this week know that this is just the beginning of the next year of storytelling that will connect the events of Lightfall and the final shape. We can't wait for the community to learn more about the witnesses origins. It's objective and the ways we can thwart it and its disciples throughout Season of the Deep as well as seasons 22 and 23 later this year. So yes guys it seems as though Bungie are well aware of the community's upset in regards to the Lightfall's DLC Day one is all I saw all over social media people pissed off. Again me personally don't really see a problem with it Nimbus is a bit of a pain in the ass but other than that I ain't really had any major problems with it. Now the twap goes on to talk about strand updates incoming as well as a Among Us crossover with Destiny 2 and basically details under raid but again guys if you want to read through all of that you'll find it linked down below.
