Hi everyone, Chris here from IELTS Advantage and in this video we're going to look at the five most common keywords that you'll find in IELTS writing and more importantly, what are their synonyms? So we're going to reveal these five most common words and then we're going to tell you what loose synonyms are. So these are synonyms that don't mean the same thing really as the keywords and you do not want to use these and then we're going to show you close synonyms. These are words that you can use. So it's not only useful to know what these five common words are, it's even more useful to know what not to do because these can, as I said, lower your score and then it gives you more confidence to just use these words, learn these words and then you can vary your vocabulary as much as possible. And what I'm also going to do is explain to you why you cannot use these words and why you can use these words. This is really the difference between someone who's at a band five or a band six and someone who's getting a band eight or a band nine. They understand why you cannot use these words and why you can use these words. So understanding these is really going to make the difference between you struggling at a five or a six and improving your score to seven and beyond. And I'm not just going to give you a list because just giving you a list doesn't help you understand why. So I'm going to explain everything. And how did I do this? Well, I have marked thousands of essays and there's some software that we use that you can put all the essays in there and it will tell you the most common words. So these are the most common keywords that come up in essays. So without further ado, number one is people. Okay. So what are some synonyms that you should not use in your essays? The first one is homo sapiens. This is an overly academic, overly scientific way to describe people. The only context that you would use homo sapiens in is if you're trying to differentiate people from other species and we're not doing that. So it is a synonym, but it is not appropriate to use it because it is not the right context to be using such a word in. So anything overly scientific, overly academic, very, very specific, you're not going to use that for a very general term, which is people. You would also not use words like residents, citizens, locals or natives. The reason why you wouldn't use these four terms is these don't really mean the same thing as talking about people generally. Citizens are people, but they have residency in a specific country or a specific area. It is a little bit too specific. Same with citizens. These are people who have citizenry of a specific country. Whereas people were talking about that in general, locals, again, just the local people in an area, natives, again, very, very specific meaning that all of these things are people, but the meaning is not really the same in this context. The question we'll ask you about people in general, you're not going to be using these because they are a subset of the larger group. You also wouldn't use a common one I see as men. You're leaving out 50% of the population there. And then ones that we commonly see that lead to grammatical errors, ones, peoples. These just lead to lots of grammatical errors, so you would avoid these. And then others that are just not really accurate at all, masses, multitudes. Masses, multitudes. This is an example of a person, a student or a teacher that has just blindly looked up synonyms of people and they see masses, they see multitudes and they think, oh that sounds very fancy, that sounds high level, I'll use that and impress the examiner. It is a fancy high level word, but it doesn't really mean the same thing as people in this context. So you have to be very careful by looking at these lists that lots of schools, lots of teachers, YouTubers produce and you're like, oh great, I'm going to use multitudes and get a band nine. You aren't. It is going to lower your score because it doesn't really mean the same thing. So how are you going to know if something means the same thing? Well, you look it up in a dictionary. Look up the meaning of masses, multitudes, residents, citizens and look up the meaning of people. Does it mean the same thing? If it does, you can use it. If it doesn't, you need to think about whether you can use it or not. So in this context, people really means so you could use members of the public or just the public. The public is generally people. You could use individuals. So we're talking generally about people, but we're calling them individuals. We're not talking about an individual person. It's more of a plural of people in general. You could also say members of society. You might be able to use men and women at a push, but remember, we're talking about people in general. Men and women really refers to adults. People include children as well. I would only really use this if maybe you couldn't think of anything else, but I'm going to put it in here. Same with I'm putting it in brackets because it's borderline humans or human beings.  It's not as scientific. It's not as academic. Really you want to think about the context. Are you able to talk about things related to humans? Human beings, it depends on the topic that really that you're talking about. That's why I'm putting that in brackets. And you can also use referencing as they. So once you establish the context, you can use they. Referencing is very important. So if you're talking about people, they, if you're talking about one of the other keywords that will reveal it could be it, if you're talking about something else. OK, the next one is a subset of people, children. Very common to get questions on education. OK, so ones that you shouldn't use kids, youngsters, anything really informal. Now, these would be fine to use in the speaking test. The speaking test is less formal. During the writing test has to both academic and general training. You want to avoid really informal words like this. Then overly academic, overly scientific offspring. You would only really use this in the context of mostly talking about animals. And in a very, if you were writing a biology essay, you might use offspring. But we're writing normally in task two about children and schooling and their education or maybe the effect of technology or things like that on children and we're not really going to use offspring. And then we have words that don't really mean the same thing as children. So young people, young people can mean anything from babies up to maybe 30 years old. So it is not really accurate. A 25 year old is a young person, but they are not a child. Generally around the world, the definition of a child is someone under 18. Differs from country to country, but generally 16, 18, anyone under that age is a child. And then we also wouldn't use teens. We wouldn't use adolescents because that is a more specific subset of children. Teens are people from 13 to 19. Children is baby up to 18. Same with adolescents. Those are people that are going through puberty again from around 13 up to 16 or something like that. We're not going to use that because it is not accurate. They are children, but not all children are teens. Not all children are adolescents. What can we use? Well, very simply, we can use child or a child. Juveniles, juvenile's children means the same thing. Miners, so minors are people under 18. Children are people under 18. Just make sure you get the spelling right, not E-R-S. That's someone who goes underground and digs up things. And then we can also use the referencing they. So once you establish the context that you're talking about children, you can reference they. And then you might also use examples such as someone's daughter. These are specific examples of children if you want to vary your language a little bit, but only do that if you are actually using those as examples. Now, you'll notice here that there are not a huge number of close synonyms. Don't worry, that is absolutely fine. What you are trying to do is not demonstrate to the examiner that you know 15 to 20 different correct synonyms because for the vast majority of words, there are only a few correct close synonyms. What you are demonstrating to the examiner is you have the ability to vary your language as much as possible. That does not mean vary it every single time. So if you were talking about children and you said, you know, a child, a juvenile, a minor, they, my son or daughter, you are giving a very wide range of vocabulary for that specific word. If then you run out of close synonyms and you have to repeat the word children, that's fine because you have demonstrated already that you are varying your language as much as possible and you are aware of different close synonyms for this word. What that does is it demonstrates to the examiner that if you know a few synonyms, correct synonyms for this word, it means that you probably know them for a lot of other words as well, thus demonstrating that you have a wide range of vocabulary. The third most common word is time. This is an interesting one because people know what children means. Generally people know what people means. What time can mean many different things? As a noun, it can mean all of the time in the past, present, future of all of existence in the universe. Or as a noun as well, we could talk about a point in time. So today is a point in time. Yesterday was a point in time. Or as a verb, time could mean to schedule something or to measure something to say, what could you time the IELTS Task 2 essay that I'm doing? So you need to be aware, is it a noun? Is it an adjective? Is it a verb? And then within that, some words have different meanings. So what you cannot do is just look at a list of words that someone gives you online and then immediately use these, memorize these without thinking about them and then use them on test day and think, I'm going to get a band 9 because this list was called band 9 words. You are not going to be able to do that. Again, this is the difference between a band 6 or a band 5 student and a band 8 or a band 9 student. They are actively thinking about what they are doing. Memorization is the opposite of thinking. So the one word that you should never use is the misspelled word that we always see, Nizadays. Nizadays, people think that they are talking about a point in time today but they misspell it and they use this as the very first word in their essay.  A band 8 or a band 9 student is not misspelling this word because they are actually thinking about what they are doing and checking their spelling. Band 5, band 6 students, either because they don't know how to spell, there's nothing wrong with that or what is wrong is people that have been trained to memorize words, phrases, essays, they make these key mistakes. If you use this in your first word the examiner immediately is thinking this person doesn't know what they are doing. So generally we will be talking about a point in time, often we are talking about the past or the present or the future. So you could talk about a period of time, you could talk about an era, you could talk about an age or you could use a word such as presently but again make sure that you are using these words in the right context, the spelling is right, the grammar is right, you know how to use them, you are aware of what these mean. Fourth most common word, company, often comes up in questions about different companies businesses but also comes up a lot in examples and things like that. This one is a good one to think about because there are many synonyms that don't really mean the same thing as company, for example corporation, corporation in general is talking about huge public companies such as Apple, Samsung, British Airways, these are huge companies that are listed on public stock exchanges, IELTS Advantage is a company but it is not a corporation, IDP is a company and it is a corporation. Firm in general that is like an accountancy firm, a legal firm, this is normally a group of partners that have a partnership within a business, doesn't really mean the same thing as company. So I used to be a lawyer and I worked for a legal firm but it wasn't a company, I actually used to be a company lawyer so if you disagree with me on any of this I probably know a little bit more about it than you do. Same with an organization, an organization is very broad, a club can be an organization, a football team can be an organization, doesn't necessarily mean that it's a company. Same with manufacturer, if the company that you're talking about manufactures things then it is a manufacturer but if it doesn't, like my company IELTS Advantage doesn't manufacture anything so it is not appropriate. Same with an agency, again that's a specific type of company. If you're talking about an agency or a corporation you can use these but if you're talking generally about companies then they probably will not be appropriate. The difference between band 5 and band 6 and band 8 and band 9 is thinking. The easiest way, business, company, same thing in this context. You can also change the form of the word so we can go from singular to plural so we might be talking about different companies. That is a different word. You're demonstrating to the examiner that you know that this is singular and this is plural, again demonstrating to the examiner that you know what you're doing. Or we could add in a possessive so maybe we're talking about a company's profits. Same word, different form of the same word. We could use a business's profits or business's plural. Referencing, we might talk about it or we might talk about they. Examples, you could use the names of companies such as Apple is a company. If you're using that as an example, you're varying your language. Again, don't spend a huge amount of time worrying about oh I need 10 other synonyms, just learn the basics. And there are always exceptions so you might be talking about a corporation. If it's about Apple, you might be talking about a manufacturer. If you're talking about Samsung, they manufacture lots of stuff. But again, always think about the context and the meaning and what you're actually talking about. Do not blindly list words. And the fifth most common one is parents. Again, very common because you will often get questions about education, about health, talking about parents, talking about children. Okay, so I won't talk too much now because the same principles apply, ancestors doesn't mean the same thing. Here the context is just not appropriate. You would never turn up to your house and say hello creator to your father. Sire, we would talk about sires maybe when we're talking about horses. Guardians, guardians is more a general term for someone who takes care of someone. This specifically is about biological parents. Could also be adopted parents and things like that but we're getting into the weeds. We're getting a little bit too technical. You need to avoid these debates that I often see students having where they will debate for 20 minutes minute differences in words. And then mom and pop or whatever, you can use that in the speaking test. You shouldn't use it in task two. Simply keep it green for go, mother and father and they or them for referencing. Okay, so let's summarize. Avoid things that don't mean the same thing. Ancestors and parents, citizens and people just doesn't mean the same thing. Avoid overly scientific or overly academic such as homo sapiens, sire, offspring and avoid informal kids, youngsters for example. And also avoid anything not 100% sure about, oops sorry, on test day, if you can think of something but you're not, maybe that means the same thing, maybe it doesn't. If you're not 100% sure on the meaning, on the grammar, is it appropriate to use this word, the formality of this word, don't use it. If you have a choice between repeating the word and using something that's wrong, this will lower your score far more than just repeating the word. If you repeat the word, you are grammatically correct. Your vocabulary is correct. You're not demonstrating to the examiner that you have a wide range, but that is much much better. So, the best is to use these. Second best, use these. Avoid these.

Folks, I wanted to go through what happened yesterday because I think a day before yesterday, I was gone yesterday. I had to do some family stuff. But if you'll notice, this was our market here on Tuesday. When we got up to that, we went higher than our, remember our 13,960 level. That was the ABCD. We went up to 13,976 and that's how we did that. And then the market started to back off. It had one small 382 retracement and dropped 300 points, folks, yesterday into the exact 382. And at that point, we were short the S&P and I said we should be covering that down here at this level of 4129 and we did. And we sold it back on the 382 retracement at 4157 and we are still short. Now, something really important is possibly happening in the market today. And I want to bring it to your attention. I'm not sure the importance of it, but if you're going to believe in Gartley patterns and things like that, you could take a look at the Dow Jones industrial average because as you can see here, we have made a perfect ABCD at the 61% retracement. We've rallied about 80 to 100 points off that bottom so far. This was also brought to our attention by our good friends over there across the pond there in London. And I want to show you what the four hour chart looks like on that because you'll be seeing the same type of pattern that is lining up there that we just saw on the daily. Now, remember, these patterns do fail, but let's get back to the point at hand, okay? Because I watch markets interday because they how they react interday is how they react daily. If you remember on that NASDAQ, I pointed out the fact that we were going to have what we thought would be a pretty good correction to the downside. So here is what has happened so far. Now, this is the increase of about 30 points. In the NASDAQ on this weekly chart, taking us up almost, you'll see the level right in here almost at 14,000. You can see there's the number written right there at 14,000. So what I do and I'm not trading this folks, I trade the S&P. I don't trade the NASDAQ for that reason. Things jump around quite a bit. So here's where we are in the NASDAQ today. Now, I want to, the reason why I'm going to go through this, I had a discussion from somebody at the TFN and listener actually called me today and wanted to argue with me about something that I really didn't know anything about, but it just didn't make any sense. And I'll go through that in just a minute. Now, this is the NASDAQ. You can see here's the after the close. This is the gap up that started the whole thing in the NASDAQ futures, okay? Now, you can see the NASDAQ futures jumped up quite a bit and went sideways for quite a bit, okay? All right. Now, let's take a look at what happened. Let's take a look what happened with the Nvidia, the stock itself, okay? This is where I had the problem because the guy said, well, there was, there was selling all the way up there. And I said, whoa, I said just a minute, boys and girls. I can tell you one thing.  To me, this is all bids. In other words, they're bidding it from 285, 290, 295, 305, 310, 315, all the way up to the top. And then it starts to trade up in here. But I, you know, I'm not a stock guy. So the first person I should have called was Basil because I know he knows the answer to that. And I'm sure Tom O'Brien does too, but I don't. I just don't think there's anybody that's out there that's going to be, I had to have scale selling into something like that. I mean, that doesn't make any sense, but you can see what's happened. And then when you listen to the pundits on Bloomberg and TFNN and Bloomberg and CNBC, you know, this is, this is the Messiah. This is the, this is the, this is the thing that's going to take us to the promised land. And maybe it is. Remember Apple did that with iPhone. So we've got to pay very, very close attention to that because I am not trading this. I am just watching this. I'm watching the market in the constant context of what the market is doing as, as it's moving around. Now, if you look at the Dow Jones, you can see that we've just been coming down for quite a while and we did make a pattern here of a Gartley pattern, of course. Now remember, there's four, four parts of this market. We have the S and P. We have the Dow Jones. We have the Nasdaq and we have the Russell. And just look at the Russell folks. Here's where we were yesterday with the Russell. I want to get this up here and show you where we were. And if you'll notice the Russell was making the, excuse me, this is Tuesday. This is because I was gone yesterday. There's where we were exactly at the 3A2. So what we want to do now is to see if the Russell is doing what we think it's going to be doing. In other words, be rallying quite a bit. And unfortunately, that is not what's happening. So this is only a few stocks that are doing this. So, you know, that's what you have to be really super careful about. There you can see we had to sell off. And we've, this is recently, just a few minutes ago, I marked that up to see where we are. So that's what I'm looking at. Now, I'm not looking right now what the Nasdaq is doing, but by looking at that same pattern that we looked at the other day, I'm assuming that it's going to be doing something like this. And this is the one I just posted before to show you that this is much easier to trade than the NVIDIA. But you can see we have a legitimate A, B, C, D, and where does it measure to? 14,000. But remember, our original premise was it was not going to get any higher than 13,960. Well, we're 40 points higher. Boys and girls, 40 points higher in something that's trading at 13,960 when one of those stocks went 27%. Now, 27% on a $5 stock is a couple of bucks, right? 27% on a $300 stock is almost $100. I mean, that's a lot of money. And when it's price weighted like it is, you can see why this thing is going crazy. I'm surprised that the, well, the Nasdaq's up about 200, I think, but I'm surprised that the S&P's not up 80 or something like that. And the only high, it's only went right up to just a little above the 382. I haven't checked it recently, but this is why it's such a really critical day as we look at this because it's super important because these indexes are highly sensitive to the news that's going on. And one of the things in the news, of course, of great importance is whether this debt ceiling thing is going to be changed and anybody that thinks that we're going to default is not being, we might default for two weeks, but we're not going to default forever. I mean, that would be the end of it if it did that. So let's take a break here.<PHONE_NUMBER> keep those cards and letters coming in and we'll be right back.

Free at 1-877-927-6648. Internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Okay, folks, we're back and I posted a chart here from where we were on Tuesday for the 382 retracement in the silver at 2292. And I said on our video last night that I sent out we want to be a buyer of silver at 2292, risking 10 cents. And we bought it at 2292 and it rallied all the way up to 2320, almost $2,000. And then it came back and made a new low at 2391. And I said when I put the trade on and sent this corresponding video out is that if the market gets back to your breakeven point after making that kind of money, you don't want to take the risk. And the reason for that is if it gave you that much, why didn't it continue? That was telling you that possibility that that was not the bottom and that's has been the case. So instead of making money, you broke even. Well, I'll take a lot of breakeven, folks, because it's not how much money you make. It's how much money you don't lose. We had two other trades today that didn't work out. We lost 33 pips in the Euro, which was a little over $300. And the one that was the most surprising to me is that we bought July hogs and we were in the July hogs a total of maybe four minutes because it gap down, stopped, filled us and then really gap down down over 300 points. We have not seen a 300 point move down in hogs in a long time. It was a completed pattern and it certainly completed us, but we did take a did take a loss in that. But of course we were protected a little bit because we were short to stock indices yesterday and then again today. So they acted really nicely. And we had, of course, you know, exited the long bond position and suggested they were going to go a lot lower. There was another perfect example of when you get stopped out of a long position, just reverse because it's probably going to go a lot lower and then the rating service came out and reduced the rating and put a little asterisk on it, maybe caution for a treasury bond or treasury. I don't know who sits there in those offices and makes ideas like that go on. I mean, that that to me is just absolutely insane to think that the US government is not going to pay their bills. The US government has lots of assets, folks. I mean, stop and think of, you know, these giant states that we have like Texas, Alaska, California and all the stuff that government land that's on New York. I mean, Florida. I mean, there's all kinds of assets that we have. Fort Knox. I mean, there's a lot of stuff out there. So just because we overspend doesn't mean we were not going to pay our bills and in 116 years, we've raised the debt ceiling what 95 times? Well, it's a game. They're playing folks. I don't like that game, but that's the way it's played. So let's move on and talk about one other one. But that the chart, the chart in the. Want to get the Dow Jones up here one more time here today because this was today before we got down to the DeGardley pattern hold on that was completed. You'll see that the rally today when we were moving earlier went right up to this level and then we went down and dropped another several hundred points down to fulfill the Gardley pattern down there at that 20 30 32,700. So that's had a pretty, pretty big move to that ounce and I haven't checked recently, you know what's been going on, but that's something that we're really watching. We really have something in our in our sights here that we're really excited about that. Another reason that's another reason to why I raised the stop in the silver back to break even because we still have this potential here. We see this bearish market that three eight twos all the time in the gold. Now the ABCD's on these on the daily takes you down to 1905 to 1915. Now that is only 35. Yeah, $39 away from where we are right now. So we could very easily be there very quickly. Well, this one work. I don't know. All I'm doing is I'm looking at the numbers to see if they're going to line up to give me a place where I can actually get in and not having to risk very much, just like I'm trying to do in the S&P and the and the hogs. I mean, the hogs lost lost a penny, you know, 400 bucks and we lost 350 in the in the in the Euro. It looked like it was going to hold. It actually did. And then when the news came out of jobs report or whatever it was, boom, then that trade was over. And this was the key here is because when the US dollar index was sitting there on Tuesday, like we were, and this is how that trade got set up, you'll see that we were right here at this number at that 63. I believe I think that's the number wasn't at 163 163 08 and then boom, this thing just took off all the way up here and that's why you had to stop in, you move to the next one and that's all you can do. No, you mean they're here and they're there. You get just got to stand aside if they're not working. There's another market out there that has been under a great deal of pressure is holding up relatively well, given all the stuff that's going on today. I haven't checked the price since early this morning, but it has been holding the 360 a pound and that is the copper copper setting right here. I don't know what the price is right now, but the it's right around that 360 level of where the copper is. Let's just see where the copper is and I can tell you if in fact I can. Wow. I don't even I don't even have copper listed on my thing here.  I have to get that put in there. I haven't traded it in so long and we are not looking at it. So I'm not going to worry too much about it. So that's it. Let's move on here to Bob. We got hogs down 300 and 60 points in the July and 200 points in the other. Oh my goodness. This is really a big day over here in the old meat markets for sure. And let's move on here to the next one here. I wish would someone would someone let me know I'd like to know if in fact I'll go into the Tiger chat room. Can someone give me the last price of of the of copper where is July copper trading can someone give me a 10 for that if it's 359 or higher is all I want to know if if in fact that's doing it because if not I'll get I'll get connected here after the after the break and I'll put the copper into the room to see if we can get that done. So I'm not going to worry too much about it. So anyway we're going to have Jeff huge coming up here in just a little bit and he's been pretty pretty much spot on on this market by the way folks the only person I know that was long in video and I don't know a lot of people in stocks but was Todd Gordon of trading analysis. He was long that stock and he was actually put a video out saying he was looking for prices to go somewhere above 400 and my gosh they hit 400 399 today. So I didn't think he thought there was going to do it in one day but it certainly moved in the right direction. So that's what we're paying attention to here this morning and when we get back from our break here which will be coming shortly we're going to have Jeff huge of Alpha Insights as our guest and he'll be joining us at the 230 show as well as the 130 show.

Jeff, how are you doing today? Hey, I'm great Larry. Thanks for having me on the show today. It's my pleasure and I have a question and someone called me from one of the listeners and was arguing with me about what was going on with NVIDIA and the stock went it was trading in around 290 or something like that I believe when the earnings came out and then it shot up to 394 and he was telling me that there were people selling all the way up and I said, whoa, I said wait a minute I said the boys on Wall Street are not quite that naive I think those are bids in other words yeah, there'll be a trade in between those things but to think someone's going to sell every dollar up. Am I wrong on that or because I'm not a stock trader? There's a seller right there. They don't create the stock on a midair so in some respects you can't argue with what he has to say. There's somebody selling the stock but you know if you take a look at the volume on this thing 118 million shares that is enormous volume for this stock. I mean for any stock, right? And I would say that this is you know it's indicative of something of a blowoff top, okay? The stock is up right now like 27% just off of its all-time high of 394. Now, you know I heard some people saying that maybe the stock can go to 500. I don't know maybe it can. You know I think what's happening in AI is just it's a narrative that's a lot of hype. And one thing that people should know is that all of Nvidia's chips are manufactured by TSMC in Taiwan and all of those fabs are wired for demolition just in case the Chinese attack. So if the Chinese were to invade Taiwan they'll blow up all of the semiconductor manufacturing fabs and that's the end of Nvidia. Could you repeat what you just said to me about you mean they actually have these things set up on a timer or something in case they get attacked or something and they were already they're already wired for demolition. So if in fact the Chinese invade the only reason that they want to invade Taiwan other than their nationalistic views is they want access to that semiconductor technology and the production facilities that manufacture over 70% of the world's semiconductor production and 90% of the world's nanotechnology and high technology advanced AI chips are manufactured in Taiwan by Taiwan semiconductor and so those fabs are already you know the US has coordinated with them to destroy the fabs and destroy all the intellectual property so that China can't get it. Holy moly guacamole that's just absolutely hold on Jeff I'm getting a call in from my SEAL team unit yes yes I could be ready at any time okay let's talk about yields up and S&P down what are we looking at here? Well this is a relationship that's been in place for a year and a half or more going back to at least December of 2021 we've seen period where that when you know tenure yield to bottomed in our rallying what happens is the S&P 500 reverses and trends down we saw five separate separate occasions where we saw kind of a cyclical rally in yields and a pullback and you know a cyclical decline in stocks and then you know a check back rally and then the same thing over again it's actually to the point now where we've seen what appears to be you know a technical bottom in tenure Treasury yield I see a small degree inverted head and shoulders of base formation that is broken out above the neckline and it looks poised to rally to new cycle highs and my suspicion is that if and your Treasury yields rally to new cycle highs the S&P will sell off aggressively there's an inverse relationship between the two that's absolutely for sure now you're also we're having a big move in the US dollar today we've violated the S&P 61% retracement easily last night and now we're we're moving up towards the 786 and your chart is suggesting is the dollar goes up the S&P goes down well that's what's been the loose inverse relation here as well and we saw it's about January of 2022 we saw four occasions where the dollar made these these separate indicative cycle pushes higher which resulted in the S&P trading lower in kind of a very high correlation factor we got to that October low the dollar peaked just ahead of that and since that time as the market has been rallying the dollar has been selling off in conjunction again with a very you know close correlation we saw the dollar rally back into an interim high as we saw the banks failing and and the equity market selling off into the March lows and then the opposite is current we've seen a rally back in the dollar and or I'm sorry a selloff in the dollar and a rally back in stocks and here what we've seen most recently as a rally in the dollar that is broken out above the downtrend and that's never yet to do yeah and so since that time we started to see kind of a failing in the S&P with the exception of those top seven you know Nasdaq stocks that are kind of holding the indexes up the average stocks actually down today people are looking at NVIDIA making new highs and the Nasdaq making a new recovery high that is unconfirmed by the dower the the S&P at this point and I'll tell you that the equal weight S&P is actually down today. Well Jeff I've got it I've got a question here I'm not I'm not questioning your veracity or anything like that but how is it did you know that the Taiwan TSMC have these things triggered to blow up in case they're attacked by China have they announced that or how do you know that it is public knowledge at this point but I wrote about it in my last newsletter I had dinner with a certain electric vehicle technology who had recently gone to Taiwan to tour the TSMC facilities and they showed him exactly was going so he he verified what I had already read about from his first-hand knowledge so that's how I know about it yeah well I'll tell you that's why I have Claymore minds all around my house here that way never be bothered by burgers it's I'll tell you got some of you've got some of the most interesting information that's that's out there so I'm really happy to have you I as a guest now the next one we're going to take a look at here is the NASDAQ internal weakness other than the NVIDIA tell you when I saw that chart last night it was late because I didn't get back until late I saw that the stock was up 27% and I said that's a $300 stock and I said I couldn't I don't think I've ever seen a move that big is that is that historically one of the largest moves we've we've seen or I don't want to price percent no no I mean we've seen stocks double in a day but yeah but not 300 dollars and no oh yeah in terms of handles it might be I don't I don't know yeah wow but yeah I mean the chart that we're showing here is showing that the NASDAQ composite itself has been exhibiting internal weakness for some time now you know last time I was on your show I showed a a chart of non- confirmations between the NASDAQ 100 and all the broad indexes right and and that's an inherently bearish condition when when you see these these negative divergences between the broad market and you know a narrow market like NASDAQ 100 here we're seeing the same thing internally with the cumulative advanced decline line failing to make new highs to confirm the NASDAQ's new high and and certainly net new highs are also failing to confirm as well so that internal weakness coupled with that broad intramarket non-confirmation is very bearish that if you want to be successful at training we'll be right back with Jeff Huge Alpha Insights folks stay tuned for all it's impossible to

alpha insights and that was then and this is now we're showing a chart of the NASDAQ that certainly look similar Yeah, you know Larry what I decided to do and I really use analogs but I looked at the the the actually it says weekly but it's daily daily closing data of the 2000 the I should I should say really time frame really Jan 99 August 2000 time frame and I compared that to the March 2020 to May 2023 period in the NASDAQ 100 today so you know I look back to the tech bubble and comparing it today and what we saw was that we had about a 150 percent advance off the 1998 low into the March 2000 high back in the tech bubble and from that point we saw you know a five-wave decline and a 61.8 percent retracement of that five-wave decline that carried the index from its loads of around 3000 back to around 4000 in the NASDAQ this is back in that that tech bubble period today now we saw helped yeah I remember the dot com bubble right and so today we're seeing 150 percent rally in the NASDAQ off the COVID crisis lows into five-cycle peak so back then it was the wave three-cycle peak now we hit a higher degree of trend wave five and we dropped in five-waves down an impulsive decline and we've since rallied back in three waves and we've so far retraced a little more than 50 percent and we're suggesting at this point that hey we don't know whether this thing is going to carry the 61.8 percent but what we can tell you is that you know the recovery is kind of in line with what we saw back during the dot com crash and the initial recovery well we all know what followed in August of 2000 you know wave two peak in the NASDAQ 100 and then it continued to crash down over 80 percent today we've seen this 50 percent recovery it might carry to a 61.8 retracement but that's only you know less than what three and a half percent from where we're at today and so you know our suspicion is you know nobody should be committing three and a half percent especially when we think we're facing the next wave down which will be wave three down and it could be an epic collapse we think you know the plunge in the NASDAQ going forward is is the real trade and and that trade is one where you want to avoid being long at this point well that's really long you're going to be wrong I can remember the dot com bubble because of the fact that these have their sales force and if this if the phone rang the stock would jump 20% they didn't even have to answer the phone I mean it was it was incredible I mean I never seen well I always said I said they'll never see anything like that in my lifetime and up until today with NVIDIA we really haven't so it's still a little bit of a little bit of a mystery to me now the next one we want to be talking about I'll get this up here I really enjoy your charts by the way Jeff you do a really super job okay now this is this is the the setup that we're looking at in the S&P yeah and you know we've showed this chart before but we didn't update our count a little bit here and that's just simply because you know we took out that February high ever so slightly we'd yet to close above that February high but but the simple fact that price on an intraday basis made a new recovery high moves us to our top alternate which is that we're in a double recovery trade and so you know we now are looking at the October low as being the bottom of primary wave one down and the recovery into now the May 19 high is is primary wave two's top in a double zigzag now we do leave a little bit of room for additional upside there's a month on recycle window that carries till about June third and it's possible if things get a little crazy that carry all the way to the 61.8 percent retracement that comes in at about 43 12 it's also possible that this gap resistance you know may contain the advanced even if we make another pushup to make a slight new high but it doesn't really matter the next big move directionally is to the downside and once we break below 4039 on the S&P it will confirm the primary wave three down is operative and we expect to carry prices in the index down to a minimum of S&P 27 50 which is a you know orders of magnitude lower basically so it is an extremely bearish setup we've talked about this a number of times and you know the advice to your listeners is simply this you know be patient minimize net equity exposure maximize cash reserves right now because the best thing you can do is collect and treasury bills are five and a quarter percent to avoid taking these risks I heard to today on Bloomberg that the the I think was the one week bills were at 8% 7.99% t-bills for the structure I just they did a big option on one month bills or maybe there were 21 day and that was six and a half percent yesterday so yeah there there's definitely some concern about the debt default and and I don't really think that's going to be legitimate but you know I have it yeah I don't understand how anybody could think that the government would mean I can understand they might go be late in making payments I come that way every month but well not quite but anyway the thing that you got to remember is in 116 years we've increased the the debt 95 times and so this not unusual but they don't realize that there's a lot of assets that the that the United States has that you know we still have their gold on the books is it $32 an ounce you know so that's not counting the stuff in Alaska and California and all these great states but they're spending it too fast I think so that's it listen would you be able to join us on the 1230 show I mean I love these charts and I know that people would like to miss the show today we'll catch it at the next break at the at an hour would you be able to come back

Good morning and happy September. I'm Mary Ellen from the channel Mary Ellen after 60 and I will tell you I am thrilled it is September. It could not get here soon enough for me. Summer is my least favorite season of the year so I am so glad that next month is October. The first thing I want to mention in my favorites is my grandson my oldest grandson graduated from college last May and I did not tell you he landed a full-time job in his field his major was accounting his minor was finance and he is working in the town that he grew up in which happens to be the same town I'm in and I'm thrilled to death for him and we're all happy it's it's so hard to find a job right now to find a job in your field it truly was a blessing so that has to be my very favorite thing everything else I'm going to talk about is basically lifestyle that is where in the home that is where we've been and we're making it through since I filmed my video last week on how I lost weight slowly I have lost another pound so that means 17 pounds in 25 weeks I think that's like 0.67 pounds a week so what my plan is now is to stay this weight for a couple of months and then reevaluate and see if I want to lose more but I've been very happy about that and I didn't mention in last week's video I did type it in in the description how I get my exercise is walking and I walk to Leslie Sanson and she's on I'm looking at my TV right now she is on YouTube and you can go on all lengths of walks with her and it's not just standing you go side to side back and forth but that's how I get the exercise once the weather does break and the humidity is down then I plan on walking outside but I have to be careful where I walk because I I do take a lot of blood thinner and I just don't want to risk going outside by myself and tripping and falling and that's just kind of how it is one of these days I hope they make the size of watchmen device that they can put in my heart and then I don't have to take blood thinners anymore but I'm just waiting for that time because I definitely will want to do that because when you're on blood thinners and your blood is thin I mean you have to get it checked every month it does change the way you do things you know I used to bounce up and down the steps like it was nothing now I'm more careful so I'll always remain careful that I but I look forward to not having to be on blood thinners but I'm grateful that I have them I don't remember if it was last month's favorites or the favorites before but I'll put a link up I'll put a link up here and then I will link it below I talked about my appliance drama well I am so pleased to tell you that it is working wonderfully well not only am I appreciating my refrigerator and dishwasher I have a backup refrigerator in my garage and what I store in it I store flour I my makeup you know my lip glosses my foundations fruits vegetables a lot of times when we do our grocery pickup I can just put things directly into the refrigerator I try not to put anything in there that if that refrigerator would quit working that I would lose very much we check it every day to make sure it's still running in fact in the ice I have an ice tray that I'll never use but I put like a screw in one of the sections of the ice tray and that way it I will know if that screw ever seems I'll know that the power has been off even temporarily so you know everything I have in there it would still stay cold for 24 hours I'm pretty sure but anyway I'm really glad about that when we used to travel and we will again travel you know if you live alone you have no idea if your power has been off years ago I started putting a clean screw in my ice cube tray and so whenever we were gone and I came home I could look and I knew that my power hadn't been off but I really I feel so so blessed to have a backup refrigerator and freezer you know it's a it's a combo I'm getting used to having stainless steel it has I haven't bought anything special I it's hasn't been a big problem to clean and I really do like the doors that open this way in the middle and in the bottom is the freezer well I always freeze cups for my ice and you know it was a little bit of a challenge so what I did I bought two of the two of the Beano stackable bins and they look like this and I really like them I put I can put four of my cups my stainless steel cups and put it in the freezer it freezes quickly and I just rotate and I I also use these in my refrigerator I only have two of these and I'm thinking about getting some more I ordered a four pack and this is the size of one of the four packs that I got like this and I've made use of all of them it came with one of the ones that or the size of the ones I put my eyes in and that's perfect for so many of our jars of things if I had it to do over again I would have ordered some more of the smaller ones so but I'm fine and everything has its place it's it's been so handy I ordered both appliances sight unseen so I'm really really happy that they work and with the exception of learning how to re put things in a dishwasher I've been really pleased but I know that takes the time I think it was in June when I ordered this next item I'm going to talk about and I ordered two of them and they're they're like TV trays I'll put a picture of them in here they're called table mates I bought one years ago that is still perfect I bought it in white and I use it for when I make videos like so whatever I'm going to talk about I have right in front of me and when I'm done taping my video I can just lift it up and put it aside we started doing something new in this day at home situation we started eating some in our living room and so we use this table to eat on but you know me I have a lot of other uses for it I have always eaten in the dining room or in the kitchen growing up we would never have thought about taking food into another room so when I raised my children we always ate in the kitchen but there were times when I would put a blanket in our living room floor and I would they would have chips and dip and I tell you what that was a treat and that was a party they'd say oh my gosh it's party time so eating in the living room is a real treat for me we watch television we talk but what I really like about these tables is like when you're cleaning something out whether it is your dusting you're cleaning out your refrigerator I just move it from place to place and I take whatever is on what I'm trying to clean up and clean out and put it on one take care of what I'm doing and then put it back I've even used it in my garage you know cleaning off shelves you know sometimes you don't have a place to put something to clean it off so it just kind of is a easy way for me to do that but we've both been enjoying them the only thing that's different than the original is that in the back there's little slots that if you want to use it for a computer that you can put a cord up through it but it is exactly the same and I know I've had my and for 20 years I always kind of thought well I've lived here since 1991 so I kind of know how old something is but we've both been enjoying that the next two items I'm going to talk about we purchased last year and we really have appreciated them very much and this is going to sound funny to a lot of you depending on where you live but we run a dehumidifier in our home during the hot and humid weather and the one we have is a 30 pint and I think that's like three and three-quarter gallon and I have to I have to empty it or Jim does twice a day of course some of the liquid is in the actual dehumidifier but I take I can't believe how much water is pulled from our home and this home was built in 1891 it has a full basement I do have good tight windows but for some reason that humidity just comes in the house and it makes it hard for me to breathe some time we have central air I mean so I know it's probably my air conditioning system probably likes it because it's pulling out so much of the moisture before it even gets to the air conditioning so anyway that's something I've really been appreciating and the other thing is another kitchen appliance and I'll put a photo here of what I'm going to talk about and then I'll talk a little bit about we have never owned a toaster oven I have a small kitchen it's it's u-shaped you know you walk in to the kitchen there's a bar then next is a refrigerator the dishwasher there's like one of those lazy susan type on the bottom a little counter space is sink a corner with another lazy susan there is my stove there's a little counter space and then there's a pantry well I don't have a ton of counter space so when I saw a ninja foodie it like air roast air base base confection and then you flip it up and you have your counter space back well we found another spot for it and I would not have needed that flip-up part but I'll put a picture of it here in my kitchen and that's when it is down and the next picture is when it is up so I if we would have known we were going to put it there I would never have gotten the flip-up but I tell you we have loved it it it preheats within I mean it seems like it's less than a minute you can anything that you can put it in an oven you can put in there mine is 1800 watts it doesn't get hot it doesn't get hot around it at all so what I've done is when I want to fix something to see about how long you know it gives you a general idea but I'll just look it up on YouTube I'll put 1800 watt ninja foodie oven and all kind of look and see how long somebody does it but we really have enjoyed it we've used it more this summer than we ever did all year the first time I know when I got it I got it in November last year because we were making dressing for Thanksgiving and I could toast nine pieces of bread at one time that's a very first thing that I did with it and anyway it's been a blessing this summer a carryover from last month is the everything bagel seasoning and that is how much we are down to here so I already have backups I like this on just about anything I like it on any type of vegetable just about any meat and cottage cheese the only thing I wouldn't put it on is something that's kind of sweet but the brand I have is Sam's Choice and and I we both really enjoy it a lot it's but I haven't had a bagel since I bought it but it's of course if you have anything with cream cheese it's it's good something I've done during this stay at home time I have made a few changes on my skincare and I haven't added anything in fact I've taken a couple even though I have all the time in the world to these skincare I still don't enjoy doing it but I do want to keep my skin in as best shape as I can and not use as many things so anyway I was pretty glad about that I did I'll talk about that in a future video now I want to talk about something that was was okay but I'm looking for something better so I'm anybody that has any suggestions let me know I wanted some bags that were clear so it would be visible when we open the freezer to see what was in something I ordered these from Amazon and I'll show you half this big I'll show you how big they are two things that were wrong with them they weren't they weren't thick enough for me because I wanted to be reusable and they were too large and that was my fault they're 24 by 18 so this I mean 24 by 18 is huge I'm really wanting something that's about half that size and probably about twice as thick last year I started using ziplock bags that you washed that you don't throw away and I was really hoping for something that I could do the same that you know this might last a couple of times but I do want something better I will find uses and give these to my friends when they come over and share but they're not what I wanted also I saw something on television and they were talking about a company and it was food that is already made that all you have to do is heat up and let's just say I will talk about it next month but I already paused my order after trying one meal but that doesn't mean the other three won't be but but I was really disappointed and it it just may have been the one but we'll see I also want to ask you does anybody have any recommendations for a good can opener I don't care if it is electrical I don't care if it is manual but just one that works every time I thought I had a good one it's just kind of becoming hard to deal with you know you put your can there you lift the thing you come down and it sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't so I am in the market for a good can opener and if you're still here this is going to be a giveaway and you know I love to give do giveaways because I appreciate you all so much and if it wasn't for you I would not have a YouTube channel so what I want to give to that away today is $250 e-gift cards or deposits to your PayPal account I like e-gift cards because it goes directly to you I don't have to worry about anything getting lost in the mail I don't have to I don't have to worry I just know that once and I can do it the same day that you guys claim your prize if you answer you've got it within 10 minutes of me reading your email so that's why I like to do e-gift cards but it can be for anywhere that I can purchase an e-gift card that you can use online so anyway let me think what I wanted to do first of all I want to tell you that it's international like it's always been you have to be 18 years older older to enter you need to be subscribed to my channel before this video goes live and all my videos close within three days they close three days and I probably should put it down to two because usually on the third day I'm not getting very many views but I'm going to stick with three days and in the comment section what I'd like you to say is just something that you enjoyed during the month of August I know a lot of people had some really hard times and I'll tell you something I've always been one that counted my blessings out loud every night before I went to bed and then again when I get up in the morning I have to do it every hour I do because it is time it is tough but I can always think of something that made my life a little bit better so just put anything that that you have enjoyed during the month of August it is all good I wish I could think of another word to say other than I appreciate you but I do appreciate you and I do believe I have the best subscribers of anyone and I will see you in my next video take care but I was very happy about that little cups of that if that old miss if that old and I do I do have I'm done bit it do but I I and I and
