Hey, what's going on guys? You're right. It's Mark and today's gonna be a little bit different So I know I usually have kind of selection of stocks that I pick out and talk over But it's gonna be a little bit of a longer form video a little bit more casual This is what I do every Sunday So I just sit down I go from my watch list of stocks I've got a couple of watch lists and I like that I take a look at and just see if any of them are kind of Prime for the picking or prime to buy over the next week or so and based on what I look for so Yeah, a little bit more casual. I'm just gonna go through my watch list as I say and then make notes got me pen Got some paper. It'll do it. Yeah, I've got my pad right here And yeah, just kind of make some notes of prices prices that I'm looking for or there's anything that's near Where I like to buy and yeah, so here we go. I might as well just crack on so First let's start with Facebook see where that's up Let's take a look Right, okay, so you can see obviously it's been pushing up So and also all of these are already set on so the SMA EMA MACD and RSI that's 10. That's what I tend to use along with supports and resistance and we look for stocks that generally trend up over the long term That's what we like just as a kind of blueprint for what we're looking for Right, so you can see here Common range for Facebook and prior to kind of one of the new scandals and everything else over to 172 184 All support new resistance, which we can see here Now that it's reached this level And you can see that it's kind of got this support that forms Around where we're at right now Maybe the potential to pull back slightly lower 159 to 172 I would expect this right on the RSI is down. What's the MACD like? MACD is just kind of neutral but the RSI is down and pointing it up is the EMA Coming in a little bit. It's kind of consolidating around here So potentially kind of see this move above the EMA over the next week or so So this to me it looks like something that we could be interested in You can see that it's had a support here Although this was when it was kind of trending down we're above the SMA now So it might pull down to to meet the SMA and act up This is definitely something to keep an eye on over this week. I think so Let's have a look what we're looking for See if it holds that 159 level If it continues to pull past this expect it to Meet the EMA you can see that it's been at this private SMA Sorry price point PVC the SMA is at 146 so Yeah, so we'll keep eyes on Facebook potentially a buy this week Depend on how it opens up. So let's add that to the watch list buyers for the week So that's a good one to open up with Let's have a look see Amazon Amazon's been quite flat Recently so I Would expect you can see this SMA has been acting as a massive support Every time it touches it bounces off of it and it's just kind of been consolidating at this price point SMA is also curbing up RSI is a decent level. So I would expect this to rally upwards Over the kind of coming weeks I don't know if it's going to be like a major balance this week or if it's excuse me Or if it's even something that we particularly kind of want to keep buying into I would expect it to kind of reach previous highs Just based on the the technicals this SMA is acting as a massive support fit pools below The SMA and then we just have to kind of see how it plays out. But for the week. There's nothing really here that I'm They're super jumping out to me. It's just kind of flat Netflix. I believe it's just kind of over Extended at the moment, right? So what in my opinion? not particularly interested in buying this it's kind of Reach this this resistance point where it's been previously 372 or there's not like a massive margin for it to cover I'm RSI You know kind of neutral not massively Overbought but just kind of based on previous highs It's approaching it and it could I mean it could rally up to 416 and so on but I definitely think that there's better things That we could pick up on It's just not worth taking the chance. Let's have a look where Google's at Google again It's something that we could keep our eye on for this week So I've done quite a few or I've mentioned Google quite a few times And it's got some kind of clear supports, right that it works with this 110 and That one so this is a sport. This is a resistance on this kind of Between these sections here and then again at 180 to 183 It's still got some ground to cover the SMA's curling in RSI looks good And so again, this is this is one that we could definitely buy into again this week Just see how it reacts make sure that it breaks above DMA keeps this trend Moving upwards Matt D's curving in as well. So it's actually a really good one In my opinion and with Google, I would you know expect it. It's got so much ground to cover here What is that actually as a percentage so for that? Get me old percentage calculator up just so we know how much ground we're covering and and if it's worth the risk of moving in right so if it's From 1109 to potentially 183 is where we're looking for it to move To so let's have a look So 1183 So about 6% right so 67% which in my opinion is worthwhile, so Yeah, no, that's good to me What have that to the watch just again just because it gets added to this watch this here I've also got my strong growth one, but just because it's added to the watch, it doesn't mean I'm definitely gonna buy it this week It's just that Well, it's something to keep an eye on over the week as the week opens up I Think Apple's kind of slightly Flat at the minute as well. It's not really giving us any kind of Encouragement to buy or or sell just kind of capital distancing how it plays out I would expect it to continue to push up as I say it's but holding above the SMA Matty's curving in but when it's quite flat, there's no real incentive. I just kind of hold on to what we've got So the long-term I would expect it to grow, but there's no need to allocate any more into that Adobe where are we? Again Kind of slightly overextended Reach previous resistance if we can see it kind of it has been kind of consoling this level here and Holding but I wouldn't want to add any more into this just because We can see that the previous highs here 272 274 It's just not worth it Although you can see that this got kind of a stronger sending pattern once it gets going and which is why again I'm happy to hold into that Just kind of based on previous patterns, but don't need to load any more into it Activision seems like a bit of a dead dog in a minute So maybe potentially looking to cut in these losses the SMA has been Pretty tough on us if it does if we don't see a break above the EMA and this week. I might look to Kind of cut or reduce some of the positions. I know we've got some leverage positions and which Alex has mentioned But I think over the long term This is a pretty good buy and this is a pretty good price point and that we're at you can see that Prior to kind of all the stock dropping Just before Christmas had a decent kind of ascending pattern and held held these ranges quite consistently I think it's just a case of all the free-to-play games. Just dominate the market. You got apex and fortnight Just kind of creating a monopoly at the moment, and they're trying to compete with some of the quality types But I don't feel like it just cool More in terms of like the battle royale since I Don't feel like it just caught as well. I know myself and I'm sticking to one, but there we are But yeah, I mean it looks like it's holding its own at this level here and hopefully we'll see the SMA gained some traction and Yeah, so it's just just want to to watch out, but again, I don't think we'll buy them back into this Anytime soon anyway, just see how this one plays out Shopify is Over-extended in my opinion again, I mean you can see it's been Ascending uptrend pattern for a little while and then it's kind of got this whole little horizontal pattern that holds Broken above the resistance here 174. I Just don't want to buy it when it's all time-wise Just not worth it when there's other things that we can get involved in and potentially this could pull back To one faithful, so we'll see Much to say there Paypal again similar kind of situation just extended above This kind of consistent horizontal pattern that it's held does it mean that it can't continue to grow? Definitely not but There are things that we could put our money into so We're just keeping on on this and see if it pulls back A couple of weeks Microsoft Oh So we're actually in the green with Microsoft at the moment You can see that it has reached this kind of resistant that it's been flirting with like this one 11 and with the potential to move to 115 RSI is over-extended Mac these are extended so potentially look to get out of this next week closer positions that we do have We'll see how it opens up tomorrow And then look to close your positions and then just see if it pulls back to the SMA and We can get back in if this acts as a support Or even got these levels here that it pulled back to so yeah, maybe something to close out on I can keep my eyes on that SFT To close Where are we? Yeah, so you know decent spread we've averaged up as you can see Yeah, that's good to that. It's good to kind of close some profits infinite sweet Where are we Tesla? I know Alex has been Mentioned me in a few posts about Tesla, which is cool. I like that. Enjoy the conversation and thanks for the video that you linked as well I'm on a technical standpoint. You can see that it's Again at this support that it reaches quite often around this kind of 295 300 level So I'm not awfully worried about it. Although it does look like it's got a kind of some momentum pushing down here It's not uncommon for it to kind of push 250. So I'm not awfully worried yet I know that obviously there's some Issues with like consumer reports and and so on I know that Tesla have addressed that already But yeah, so based on it on the technical standpoint if we can see this kind of start to curl up break above the MA Matt D is already curbing in kind of based on Before market close on Friday So hopefully we'll see it gain some momentum moving into next week and Push on to kind of 350 which is we have a look what percentage gain that is from 295 to 350 Is all excuse me To know 5 to 350 is around 18% so it's not bad game We still got as I say we've got a decent amount into it And if it continues to push up I'll maybe get up to around a thousand so about a 10 about 10% of the portfolio That's I'd be comfortable with Just because it's so consistent look at that how long that's been happening Since July last year it looks like Just kind of so consistent between those two levels and doesn't mean that it can't continue to fall down Definitely not doesn't mean you that it can't continue to push up. No, but she's kind of based on previous patterns What we're seeing Alibaba we're doing all right with Alibaba as well at the moment So if you've watched any of my videos, you know that We said with Alibaba right we was looking for it to hold this support here It's held it and it's pushed up over the next week or so I would expect this to pull back to the EMA and then continue to push up So I'm going to actually add this the bias for the week even though the RSI has over extended MacD's Also I'm kind of peeking out a little bit But we'll watch for the pull back and then once it pulls back we'll look to get back in Again, just because of the consistency in the previous pattern between these price points So yeah, so we'll add that and that's still got decent ground to cover from where are we one seventy one to one ninety two is About 12% so that's good. So I think my main bias for this week Obviously depending on news and and how it plays out is gonna be Tesla and Alibaba. So it's 20% coverage 12% coverage So those would be my two favorites. I think for this week obviously based on this pulling back and I mean obviously if it continues to Just extend without pulling back then that's fine because we're already invested quite heavily But yeah That's fine. Cool. I think that covers that Yahoo or also Hotel I think They had their own is I think their own is okay very similar to Alibaba right very consistent ascending up trend pattern before and then it kind of held this horizontal and pulled back with all The stocks just before Christmas will look for it to hold this 69 level which it did And then we'll wait for this to pull back. So we'll add this for the week because this is again Just like Alibaba Expect this to pull back and then continue to push on into Or at this resistance 76 again, you can see that we're investing this already this one's not too clever But yeah, so that looks good to me wait for the mat lead to cut back down our side to become, you know, slightly on the extended Or are about and we've already loaded that we cool So Continue on so this is not too bad And this is what I like to was is why I like to kind of stick to the same stocks every week you just get a feel for how they move and Yeah, just gives you a little bit more confidence if you're using the same things we can week out Even though we've got quite a few here I Right Intel let's have a look Intel over-extended Based on the RSI in that D It's kind of a bit all over the place. I'm not really I'm looking to add anymore to that happy to hold on to this based on The fact that you could push kind of 56 and it's kind of strong up-trend pattern over the long term as well, but And for the time being there's no real kind of doesn't really make any sense to me So we give that one a miss in video This has got an awful lot of ground to cover. So this looks good You can see higher highs low lows and higher lows as it's kind of pushing up scan some momentum It's above the MA SMA is holding and this does look good Although I don't think it's a good point to buy right now But if this falls back and meets the SMA then maybe So To the bias for the week based on on kind of keeping an eye for on that pullback It's kind of bottomed out here 125 yeah, cool that makes sense for me What is this? Cool Go daddies another one that I like we closed a lot of our go daddies Shares out just because again, it's overextended But we can see it rally on Yeah, over extend on the RSI Yeah, I'm happy. I'm happy told the ones that we got just because it can reach these I'm hold eyes old highs of 84 But no need to kind of Put any more into this just hold on to that Oh We can get rid of this I don't really trade this anymore Same afford don't like Ford Look at that pattern just kind of descend in and Let's have a look over the long term Descend in over the long term. I don't even really know how this is still in there. We'll get rid of that Delta Airlines, let's see how they're getting on they're usually quite good. Oh, this looks nice This looks really good. So we're reaching this support level of 51. It's holding above the SMA and then from 51 to 54 is Is that as a percentage around five percent? So yeah, this looks good. Um RSI is okay kind of neutral pointing out that these kind of all over the place I'm kind of happy to see how this plays out if it can hold above this support level here and if the SMA can Give it some for if it answers the support Yeah, that's interesting It's just holding above it. It'll be interesting how that opens out. I can see it had a kind of flat day on Friday Didn't really move much Cool cool cool Um, get rid of the banks. These are no good. I don't think It's kind of been uptrending but look at that It's all over the place and then again for the weeks. It's kind of neutral a bit horizontal so Not particularly interested in that. Um, all Barclays Barclays another one. It's like all the British banks are just I don't know if it's because of Brexit or what's caused it but They are not looking too clever at the moment get rid of those get rid Felix Um, I was interested in this again when it had this kind of horizontal pattern that it was holding What's this up to a little long term? Um, looks good, but there's nothing really appealing about it right now Flow the sma. It looks like the sma is acting as a resistance And there's no real kind of contingency I'll just get rid of that for now Coca-Cola, um, or kind of a derivative coca-cola again, you can see this is like an upsend a trend in Ascend in uptrend pattern. Um, right higher highs higher lows. Boom. Boom. Boom Um, it looks like it's holding on this sma and then it's broken above the EMA. Matt D looks good. RSI looks good I'm not really feeling this Even though obviously we can see that it kind of grows over time When we're trading, right? So if you're uh, I do this in addition to, um, invest in an index fund So I wouldn't recommend kind of having all your money into it itora. Um, but just as yeah Just as a side point because if you want to hold on to things over the long term index funds and So I know a little bit about but yeah, um Yeah, definitely better potential out there. So I'm gonna leave this one for now Mastercard, let's see how this is getting on Boom a bit overextended I might even look I think I've only got one position left in this. Yeah, so Depending on how this opens up. Um, I'll probably close this and then wait for it to pull back It's over extended Although it's covered in for a buy on the Matt D But you can just see the price here is you know at pretty obvious resistance So it just doesn't make sense to continue to buy into here when It kind of looks overdue to be pulled back I should have picked up on that on Friday actually and closed that I'll write that down on things to do Close Um, depending on how the market opens Hmm Although you can't really go wrong with um, like Mastercard visa paypal over the long term just because Kind of online transactions and and so on Only gonna grow aren't they um squares got some decent momentum behind it Uh This is kind of a bit of a Uh riskier trade I'm just happy to kind of have a little bit of money into this just to see how it it goes It has some massive momentum. Um, not an awful long time ago. So Uh, yeah, just wanted to have some skin in the game see how it played out. Um, right now Just not really showing me anything that I'm particularly interested in getting involved in so Um, but again as I'm happy to hold on to this just because of previous highs at 100 Which it hit kind of perfectly and then pulled back. So we'll see We'll see Sony And we closed a couple of positions out on Sony I'm in the green. Uh, I'm interested to see if it can hold above Uh, the sma here or if it can break above the sma Um, it's really sporadic as well Now I'm just kind of got this support around 45 that it can hold. Um So, yeah, not not particularly interesting If it breaks above the sma it can hold above the sma Then I'll let it buy in just because you can see based on when it gets some momentum It it shows some decent growth. But until then, um, just again one I'm happy to have a small amount to just see how it goes But not particularly interested in heavily investing These I think is a similar story to Mastercard Um, kind of approaching the previous highs that it's reached 146 150 Um, not particularly interested in getting any more involved in that There we go Um, any that's Hmm holding above the sma Kind of got this support level here at around 197 Almost kind of feel like I'm reaching for that a little bit or it looks like it's a resistance there Previous support new resistance Yeah, again, it's kind of if you if you're not feeling comfortable with it Then there's just no need to trade it, right? You don't have to do anything So I will stay away Oh So wicks after its earnings, um dropped massively And it looks like it's kind of got some momentum. So, um Our size coming in Mac these coming in and the EMAs coming in Hmm Because we don't have an awful lot, but um, it's not been on Um, it's worth it for very long. So we might have to look at some different charts just to see How it's done over the long term or for the time that's been trading Um, but yeah, this is one to kind of keep an eye on That's for the week Spotify Um This is one that I was just kind of happy to I'm getting involved I think they did an IPO not too long ago. Um, and I'd use Spotify. So I thought why not? Um, to see how it gets on Looks like it's got some decent momentum, but nothing. I'm particularly kind of interested in putting any more into I'm other than like half percent from the portfolio. We've already got in Estee Lauda is a bit overextended at the moment previous highs And we closed out our positions on Estee Lauda in the green as well. So, um, we'll probably wait to see If this falls back That's all there is to say about that Um, I hope this makes sense, right on, um What I'm seeing so We closed out of this not too longer actually at kind of similar price point so Has the potential to move to 111 although it looks like it's kind of consolidating and and maybe putting it back. So No interest in getting to that right now Oh, excuse me that don't want to be just sold out of Um, oh, whoops, um Again could move on to this kind of 186, but I just wanted to play it safe So it's massively over. So I overbought on the RSI mac these curving down to sell So could see this pull back to kind of 173 in which case we'll get back involved. Um, but for now No bueno Um, disney similar story, uh We got out of it, um In the green, uh, obviously nine had the potential to move to 117 I mean it looks like it's just going to keep pushing without pulling back RSI is Oversold overbought mac these curving down. Um, yeah, so we'll just again, we'll see if it kind of pulls back Um, and then comes back to previous form. We'll get back involved in that but for now. No, no That's no good and coke. We're already involved in. Um See we can see that it was rejected by the Eman and pulled back So we'll have to see how this plays out and although the RSI is still curving up mac these still curving in Um, and it's still kind of holding this support level. Also, um, It's not unheard of for it to pull back to kind of 42 This support of 42, so I'm not awfully worried. Um, and I'm Aware that it could pull back to here and which case I'll just continue to buy in. Um, just because of this kind of history Over over the long term. Look at that how consistent that pattern is. Um, so if it pulls back even more, that's fine I'm happy to keep buying into coke Cook cooler And then let's see what's going on with the other watch list Spotify show not twice we're getting it out there These are just kind of more um Watch this too. It's just the ones that I'm Um, interested keeping on. I know BMW's um previous been at what kind of all-time lows Looks like it's pulled right back That's on the weekly What's it saying on the four hour? No, just that downtrend. I ain't feeling that get rid of that Cisco all-time highs see if that pulls back. Uh, and then we'll get involved in that. So yeah over extended Um Ferrari has been holding neutral there. Um, I would expect this to because it kind of closer to the support here I would expect this to continue to move up And to 141. So happy to just hold this position here. Um, and then seeing how it reacts next week It depends on whether we'll buy in more but nothing to kind of keep particularly close aisle Uh, American Express can get out of here Um, oh, Berkshire Hathaway is one I want to keep an eye on. I know that it had a really bad earnings because of Heinz pulling back and Some other factors that were mentioned but On a kind of technical standpoint, it's at this good support here. We'll see how it opens up. In fact, I don't know No, I don't think I'm getting any prices on it right now. Um, but yeah, this is another one. I'm just kind of happy to Um Buy into if it pulls back more Obviously providing it doesn't drop dramatically Um, or any like kind of massive catalysts come out so We'll probably add that to Ones that we're looking to buy into actually for the week But um, oh excuse. I'm guided. I missed out on Etsy um We see that it obviously pulled back to the SMA I'm surely going to but for now it's overextended. So, uh Just keep an eye on that for pulling back Is there anything that I'm missing Dominoes I've spoke about a lot. I did a whole video on dominoes. You can see that it's Um, seeing a little bit of resistance here at the SMA, but if we can break above that, um What's the ground? What's the percentage gain there 253? Oh, no, that's not where we're at. Sorry 260 To 293 Again about 12 percent 12 percent gain. So continue to buy into that as long as it shows Um, what we're looking for though, you can see it does the SMA can act to resistance here here Um, so hopefully it doesn't do that again here Anything else I want to go into JP Morgan? That looks like it's got some decent traction support here, although it's curving down Hmm, I want to keep eyes on this because it's got a good support here And a good resistance kind of fairly consistent At 116. So what is that? 103 to 116 Again about everything's 12 About 12 percent to cover so I'm gonna keep my eyes on JP Morgan for this week That looks good to me Although the RSI is down Yeah, okay, cool I think I'm gonna leave it there for now. So that's basically what I do every sunday I just kind of quickly breathe through the stocks Um, and then one two three four five six seven eight nine So nine maybes that we're just going to see how it plays out. Um And then obviously if I do actually end up buying into them I'll do videos on specifically why I've all intern and felt felt comfortable to do that. Um Yeah, I don't know if you guys enjoyed that format if you did I'm like the video subscribe blah blah blah with that kind of stuff Um, if you disagree, we only think that I've mentioned or Do you think I might have missed out on anything? Let me know I'm always keen to know if there's any stocks that you think that are gonna Kind of blow up over the next week or so or just kind of something to keep your eyes on Again, let me know, but that's everything Cool. Thanks very much guys and I will see you again tomorrow


This is Donna. Welcome back to my channel. So I had an amazing question posed on my previous video and I was like, yo, this is the dopest question ever. I'm going to absolutely answer it on my next video. So that goes to show you guys that I do read your comments, I do read your questions, and I do get inspiration from them. So this video is going to be about is there a glass ceiling really in like the PA career, but more specifically as a trauma surgery PA is what the question was posed. So if you haven't already done so, go ahead and subscribe, like this video, leave some comments, leave some questions, and I will get to them. All right, so I have this question posed to me and it was from Thomas Nichols is what it says. It says, hey, Adana, so I'm an accelerated bachelor's of science, master's of health science degree, and I can't wait to be a PA. But my biggest concern is that there's a sort of ceiling to be a PA that no matter how good or knowledgeable you are, you can't get past. So do you see yourself being able to expand on your skills as a PA in your trauma surgery job? And I was like, what? Like, this is a serious great question because I mean, I think that that's the question that most people kind of have when they're trying to figure out, do I want to be an advanced practice practitioner or do I want to be like an MD or something a little bit more specialized on that route? So I, I'm going to answer this again. This is my opinion. The question was posed to me, not to anybody else. So I'm going to answer it from my opinion. And in my opinion, there's a ceiling to almost anything that you do. It's either a ceiling that you place on yourself or a ceiling that others or the job market may place on you. Okay.  I'm making, you know, enough money for the lifestyle that I have grown accustomed to and that I want to live. And therefore like this is all I'm going to do. There's still opportunity to grow and learn more and get more knowledge and, you know, be bigger than what they are currently, but they are content with where they're at. And so that ceiling for them has like, has capped. And that's it. It's, it's done, right? And then there are others that may want to grow, may want to move further, but, you know, because of where they're at in, in their particular job market, like there is no growing further. That's just kind of what, what you're at, it's done. And so I think with respect to being a trauma PA specifically, again, I'm only a baby PA in this, you guys, like been at this trauma PA thing for only eight months. So I'm speaking off of my limited experience, but I still have a lot to learn. So I'm nowhere to, to having the knowledge or being as knowledgeable as I possibly can. And I feel like I don't see myself getting to that point anywhere or anytime soon. And I don't know if there's ever going to be a point where you've gotten all of the knowledge that you can possibly have to know about trauma and surgery and trauma surgery and acute care surgery to not be valuable because there's always going to be new literature coming out. There's always going to be new procedures coming out that you might want to read up on or learn about because your attending might be using that in the operating room and you want to be helpful. So for me, I don't really see there being a ceiling in terms of the knowledge in my skill set, right? I think that I'm going to continuously hone the skills that I'm learning. Obviously, I have to learn how to do various different lines and use like a chorus versus, you know, like coming in and putting in like a IJ central line or a subclavian or ephemeral or putting in chest tubes and doing all of those like advanced practice skills. I'm constantly going to be refreshing myself and making sure that I'm up to date on that. And so obviously, after I've learned how to do it or become proficient in it, that that learning might be be done for me, but there's still going to be so much more learning that I have to do. And so for me, I don't think that there is a ceiling in the knowledge and the skill set of being a PA. There's going to be something new that has to be learned. However, I do with that being said, you know, I want to like play a little bit of a devil's advocate here.  And that is the ceiling that you've come to, right? Because at this moment in time, that's not the dynamic of what a PA does, right? We are very much still in collaboration with our physicians. And so with that being said, there's no like, I'm just solely doing this on my own, no physician oversight whatsoever in terms of if I want to own my own business, that has to do with like medically related stuff. Now, there are PA's who own their own business, who own their own clinics. They have partnerships with with physicians and that's and have a collaborating physician with them. And that goes in conjunction with whatever their state may say. But that's again, it's a ceiling that's being placed on them by their state regulators. So there's always going to be some type of ceiling, I guess you could say that is being placed on individuals, but you as the profession grows as time moves as the dynamic of what is needed in healthcare changes, so is the profession. And so is the state of healthcare is going to change, you know, we look like, look at with COVID, we were able to just kind of go wherever like people were quickly like credentialing you and things like that, so that you could practice in other states that had high COVID cases because they needed practitioners. And so that was like a step in the right direction for the PA profession and for advanced practice practitioners in general. So that is like my really kind of Adana E take on it. I think that there is a ceiling based on what you place on yourself or what the, you know, the particular job market may place on you. But I feel like at the end of the day, you kind of get to determine that for the most part, like as a PA, I think that I'm going to continue to be able to learn as a Trump PM going to get knowledge. I'm going to, if I want to go for my doctorate, you know, there's nothing stopping me from that. I can gain as much knowledge as I want in my particular personal life. Also, if I want to start my own business, you know, I can do that. If I've gained or made enough money to where I'm like, you know, I'm comfortable, I don't want to go back to school again for another year to two years, then I don't have to. But it's all based on your ambitions and where you want to be in life. And so this is something that this is like an important question that you really, really, really have to look at because you have to look at all the various different dynamics of where you might work, what state you might work in, what's the regulating body over there, how do they treat their advanced practice practitioners, how do they treat their PAs or MPs, you know, what kind of oversight is needed because all of that will dictate how you practice. And so if you want to actually like have your own stuff going on, you just got to do the research. So again, my two cents, thank you for asking me the question. It's definitely something that I had to think about, you know, when transitioning from, okay, do I want to go to med school and spend all that time in school to become an OBGYN, or do I want to go to PA school and have time with my family and still be able to work in that field if I so choose. And so these are all the things that I wanted to, you know, to process and see if I would be happy there.  All right. Thank you so much for that question. This was, it was an amazing question and I'm glad you asked it. If you guys have any other questions for me, please leave them in the comment section below.

And I will talk to you guys next time. Bye.


Let me put this on. Thank you. Thank you for sticking around. Very good of you. Here we go. Exploiting concurrency. It sounds bad, doesn't it? But it's good, you know? So here we go. So as we all know, processors aren't getting any quicker clockwise. You know, they take it about this quick. And there are lots of clever tricks to try and improve IPC, you know, obviously deep branch predictions and, you know, superscalar architectures and things. But they only really go so far. There are huge wins in IPC coming. The real win, though, I'd argue, is coming from all of these other CPUs that are sitting on your die, each of which can do multi-threads. I don't know if you know. One of our sponsors, look at this gratuitous commercial plug, AMD, they're releasing this thing called Ryzen rather soon now, which I think is going to set the benchmark for the number of cores you expect. 16 threads is going to be the new normal in this year. So it's fantastic to see Armin's work there. Our drawing layers are going to, you know, do all sorts of wonderful stuff much more quickly. But the punchline is that unless you're using the other 15 processors, ah, win, lovely to see you, you're wasting, you know, 90 plus percent of the silicon real estate that someone has very carefully etched and put on your device. And that's super sad, right? So we need to do something about that. So we have started, obviously, we're trying. We use actually quite a lot of threads. When you start LibreOffice, will you attach a debugger to it, particularly on Windows? You think, brilliant, we're already using six threads and we're not doing anything, you know? Unfortunately, most of the threads are literally not doing anything. So the main thread is where everything happens, pretty much, and then we have a whole lot of random threads. You know, there's one our custom memory allocator of dubious benefit has its own thread, does very little. There's a factory thread that's just listening for an accept on a pipe for some arguments. So if you run another process, it just listens there and handles the thread, it does see nothing. Update check thread, which is basically a sleep. I don't know quite why we need to run a sleep in a thread, but we do. We have the GIO thread, which I have no idea what it does, but it's probably, this is under Linux. And a Pulse Audio thread, similarly, we often don't play audio, but they're just in case, which is useful. Of course, on Windows, the situation is significantly worse. We use, I think, real-time timers on Windows, and Windows' time APIs are sufficiently bad that the way they do this is by creating a whole pool of threads that presumably do something really dumb. And GDI, of course, does this as well. So it's normal to have 20 or so threads in a Libre Office on Windows, and no concurrency at all, practically. That's the punchline. None of them are doing really anything. Still, if you're not using the app, that's fine, right? You're not doing anything. So it's not actually that bad, though. We do have some threads that make some sense. I think Stefan's config manager stuff has a nice thread that sort of spawns off and writes the configuration when it's needed in the background, which is kind of cool. And increasingly, some of these are quite short-lived, so they actually start and they end cleanly, which is nice. So there's quite a lot of work being done to get life cycles right there. We now have a thread pool that even works. Amazing.  So there are some things that we do do, not just the drawing layer, which is fantastic. I added it to the bottom, because I didn't know about it until I saw the talk before. But if you have huge high-fidelity images you want to scale, we do that across as many threads as we can steal. Things like zipping, ODF, we did a whole lot of profiling work to find why it's slow to save files, and it turns out that a lot of the time when zipping stuff deflate is quite expensive. So we spent a lot of time threading that and optimizing it, and then it turned out we were trying to zip images. Like, if you zip a JPEG, it gets bigger, and you just throw it away at the end.   Our XML parsing I'll talk a bit about later. We do some threading there, but this is, as far as I recall, where the threads are used. So why thread? Well, you know, so there's a lot of reasons to thread, but at least the ones that I like are these. So the CPU has a whole lot of resources we often don't think about. They're actually reasonably limited. And things like your branch predictor. Your branch predictor is great, but if you do much too complicated a piece of code, suddenly your performance falls off a cliff. And there is a limited resource there. And of course, the less you use it, or the fewer branches you take, the better the job it can do. Similarly, your cache is a very limited size. So if you can partition your work into do this bit and then do this bit and then do this bit, each bit can work much more efficiently. So you can win even on a fewer-threaded or single-threaded machine. And the more code that the processor has to decode and turn into its own magic world of micro-ops, et cetera, and try and cache those, the more code you're using, the less effective that cache is. So the ideal is to have lots of very small tight loops doing one thing, handing work on, handing work on like this. So that really requires a different way of programming, really. So XML parsing, I'll talk about in a minute. But really, this whole message-passing thing of doing a little bit of work and another little bit of work and another bit of work and passing these messages along leads to a very nice, safe world. The only problem is that our code is not designed to do that really at all. So this is the ideal, yes. However, technology change provides opportunity. And actually, by using these threads and doing stuff here, we can actually whip the competition in some interesting ways. And we've done that already. So we've made it possible to load certain Excel sheets faster than Excel using their file format, which is something that I think we can build on and expand to lots of other areas. And of course, there are plenty of well-known problems with threading. So I'd like to talk about this just briefly, just to give a flavor for why this is cool. So we can parse an arbitrary-sized XML file and emit SACS events in constant time. So there's a caveat, a star at the end. But consider this, people always talk about their XML parsers and how mine's faster than yours, and it does these clever memory metrics, and it doesn't allocate, and it doesn't that, and that. Well, we forgot all that. We just use a standard XML parser, but we do it in a thread, and then we emit the SACS events in the main thread. So the constant time is parsing the first bit of the file, and after that, you're emitting events. And you would hope that the dominant cost is the consuming the XML and doing something with it. So effectively, you can get free parsing that your consumption is slower and that you have a free processor somewhere. However, having a free processor is the easy bit, right? Okay, perfect. So we've been doing this for open XML import from a long time ago, from something like 5.0, and actually Calc has been threading concurrent loading of sheets as well. So, huh, with occasional data loss, as you see here. Recently fixed by Cohe, and we were convinced the bug was in Calc, initially, or then, you know, we convinced the bug was in the SACS parsing thing. We spent a long time, and then we found, in the end, it was in the package, unzip thing right at the bottom, which has had an UNO API, so we were convinced it was thread safe. And if you mean safe by not crashing, it certainly didn't crash, which was good. On the other hand, it has a stream pointer and the stream API is seek and then read, and with multiple threads reading from the underlying zip file, you could interleave the seek and the read if you're under heavy load and, yes, you end up with rubbish coming out of your zip file as a set of XML. So, luckily now fixed, but, you know, there we go. So, the ODF formats, we just pushed some stuff in 5 for 5.4 that will start to thread the ODF format import. So, it's actually just one stream coming in then, but, again, splitting the parsing and tokenizing and unzipping from the consuming of the events. And thanks to Mohammed Abdul-Azim, who did some of this with Google Summer of Code, and switching to the Xfast parser. So, there is a hope, as we incrementally move there, that ODF import will speed up significantly. And if not, maybe it will stay the same speed but use more energy, who knows. So, where else can we win? This is the speculative bit of the talk where you're all inspired to throw tomatoes and get involved with doing fun stuff. So, XML parsing can still be improved, I think. So, there's a zipping, unzipping actually takes some percentage of our import time, something like 15%, I think, maybe it's only 10, I forget, something like that. So, we can put that in another thread, and then you have tokenize and so on. Unfortunately, XML parsing is really expensive, unbelievably expensive. It's namespaces, it's funny attributes, it's entities, it's, you know, just the basic inner loop of that parser is, it's just nasty. And it's checking that there are no duplicate namespaces and it's worse than you might think. So, quite possibly, we want some kind of look ahead parser that's going to jump ahead in your file and start pre-tokenizing it. Maybe, I don't know. XML parsing is something a lot of people do, if we could, you know, come up with a better approach. Unfortunately, you can't tokenize early because namespaces can change fully, but, you know, you can have a go. And so, we get some pretty big files. I mean, it's reasonably normal if you have a large spreadsheet to get, you know, like 100 megabytes of XML you need to pass. So, you know, small XML files, great, but big ones, highly repetitive are pretty bad. So, probably we'll need to do something there. Handling images is particularly slow. I mentioned earlier they're the dominant memory object that we deal with, and they're getting worse. People's cameras are getting bigger and higher resolution. So, you know, 100 pages of text is something about five megabytes of memory, but one image is easily that, right? So, I don't know how many hundreds of pages you write, but you probably put images in because they're worth a thousand words, right? Anyway, good. So, very high resolution words, I'd say. So, image handling is a bit of a mess, but we can fix that, and we have opaque image handles. Luckily our history has gone in sort of revolutions from very old slow to very, and actually the very ancient hardware that we had with opaque image handles is not dissimilar from the very modern hardware we have. Just in between times it went via the CPU, you know, CPU images. So, actually we should be able to queue our image loading and immediate, our image load be immediate, but only when you actually access the data or render it, we then take the hit and queue all these things, load our whole toolbar in parallel, decompress all those pings, allocate the memory, do all the good stuff. So, that would be a pretty nice isolated change. It would be quite helpful for rich presentations with lots of images, like mine, you notice? Lots of images. Anyway, VCL windows. So, on windows we have this disaster area, whereas on windows message queues are thread-of-fine. So, if you create a window in a thread, it knows which thread it was created in, and you have to destroy it in that thread. You have to ask for GDI resources in that thread and stuff, which is bad because we have a sort of thread-safe widget scripting API that can spawn threads, create windows, end threads, you know, just, it's really not nice. And yes, so we have all of these events that we try and push across into the main thread to do stuff. There's just an absolute bunch of horrors here, and Michael Stahl spends lots of time fixing deadlocks and hangs and things and tests, and you have these horrible uncontrolled re-entrancy hazards. So, every time you wait on a condition, you've got to be prepared not to fully block that thread because you might need to do one of these horrible windows operations that comes in. And so, just, it screws up your threading abstraction, and it makes, well, it's a nightmare, basically. So, wouldn't it be nice just to have a thread that actually did something once in a while, which would be creating windows, you know?  And while you're there, another thing we could be doing is actually doing our rendering in another thread. Now, we have a metafile, but of course the metafile is also a file format, which is a bit of a disaster area, and it's also a limited subset of what VCL does. So, Quickie has actually a patch to try and refactor this into two pieces, and it's potentially possible. We've done some research, but, you know, that we could split this out and do our rendering in a separate thread. So then you can start doing your document layout and just measuring it here and actually rendering in the other thread. That needs a lot of work around immutable structures, safe things that you can share between threads. It might work. If you have a thread there, it would be nice. It would really help with OpenGL, which doesn't like threads despite the advertising, to have all of the rendering in one place with one context. If you use OpenGL, you'll know that it's just terrible and it has all this implicit thread local state. It would be really nice. We've always struggled with, like progress bars. So if you want to render a progress bar on your one thread in application, you need to spin the main loop, and so you have this yield that goes on while you're doing something. You yield and the progress bar moves, and hopefully nothing else comes in that's really bad at that point. And we live on optimism, but wouldn't it be nice if you have a progress bar that lived in another thread that carried on rendering and updating itself sensibly while you carried on doing what you were doing? Removing another horrible uncontrolled re-entrance What else? There are smaller pieces we can do, so there are various tools. One of the things, Rust is the new trendy language, right? We want to add safe concurrency, so why not throw away the whole language or most of it and start writing new compiler and stuff.


everyone shiver 1000 here monkey 1000 we're doing a late night video tonight Saturday so 1115 we're new this one I think he's got fire coming out of his mouth it's uh yeah all it says is stir-fried ramen noodles artificially spicy chicken flavor ramen but it's bold act so I guess his name is Ho Chi that's his trademark okay well let's check these ones out guys so here's the new tradition facts if you care to read them you can pause that I read the instruction to you the same as all the other ones you put noodles in the 20 ounces or 600 milliliters of boiling water and cook for five minutes I got water getting ready to boil right now please remove the water remain eight tablespoons of water so you want to leave eight tablespoons I think it's like an eighth of a cup or something can't remember already get that ready though and then it says and put liquid sauce into noodles stir fry for 30 seconds add flakes and add flakes and stir well and serve so that's what we're going to do so our bowl here I got my fork monkey's got hers and we got a couple bottles of water let's get ready to boil so let's take you over here on the stove okay our water is boiling so let's go ahead and put these in here oh they're the long ones monkey likes them mm-hmm yeah like the long ones Nunchi monkey yeah I like the round ones I don't know why because once they're boiled they're just noodles in a bowl but that's okay so I got this here I'll let this boil for five minutes we'll fire up the walk which is over that way hang tight Tom monkey tell him Tom hang tight hang loose my man anyway we'll be back okay guys now about a third a cup of water's like what eight tablespoons is so we're gonna put this in here here we go now we're gonna pour our water in gonna put our sauce in just so I can smell the spices on this one last one got me if you guys caught that when I was saying there's nowhere on it where it says spicy but the first thing I read in that video was spicy flavor chicken so I don't know how many you guys caught that but if you didn't I just wanted to sorry make you guys wear that okay so how clean these things are she does it the monkey spell because you know I mean anyway she did some clean I'm not this has been 30 seconds but probably so what we're going to do is I'm gonna put this in a bowl and then we'll take it over there and put her flakes in and monkeys gonna try this and so are you yeah monkeys gonna try this all right guys okay guys I'm making a mess but that's okay because she's laughing for some reason here's her flakes I went to go wipe off that little drop honest goodness guys I mean that drop was probably about the size of the end of that that's no joke I waved it and it got that big I wiped again and it got that big next thing I know it's a half a tile where'd it come from oh there's sesame seeds in this one mama look seaweed she always I ain't trying seaweed I ain't gonna eat no seaweed you're eating seaweed tonight had seaweed well he said you didn't like it no well you're eating it tonight so might not be able to taste in that all right well they put it in there for a reason like my mom I remember the kid why are you putting onions in the spaghetti so I don't like that she's like you can't even taste them well then why do you put them in there for flavor I was like that don't even make sense she was like don't back talk to me boys she knew how to point you can't taste them but you put them in for flavor okay so I'll show you once again this is what we're having you're going in cuz I had you okay well I'm trying to get a thumbnail anyway all right it's already hot in here all right let me back you out why zoom bring you up here smell it yeah you can smell some eating this one already sweating you're thinking about it got 85 today so yeah Florida weather again Justin Susan last night Justin's live is doing she said it was 46 because I said 66 down here she's like wow 46 wherever she's at I think she doesn't care on us too but so you guys watch this it was hot today I can joke with them like that because not only are my they are my friends but they they live too far away of doing right now so they can't like smack me upside the head or nothing all right get yours mama yeah we thought we'd do a quick video like right now this is easy like right now remember it was 1115 it's like 1132 right now we've been dicking around look at mine she's got like one new to one freaking spork thingy that I'm trying to get it again marlin it's not happening it's coming slowly what you're something springy taking so long mine spoiled oh that's okay all right I got it on there finally all right think you don't think you don't think you don't okay here we go to a hole she tricked me takes our man I don't why what's wrong with you we'll do another bite not as bad as the other one I don't think you can't have the other one with me isn't work no the one I was with you yeah that was that was the hottest one yeah I can't remember which one it was but that was that was hot yeah this is not quite as hot as the very last one I did and I can tell because I don't have hiccups no this is not as hot as the last one that I did with this is actually kind of mild handle space you're not gonna think that's mild but from the other ones yeah this is mild compared to the other ones yeah we can finish this that one though the hottest one I don't think we got to finish it yeah I ate what three more bites of it yeah I think you might have which these are big bites yeah so there wasn't much left but there you go thank you don't get on yeah we'll definitely finish this one I think don't you all right let's rate him what do you think won't don't get me wrong they're freaking hot mm-hmm I think this is the mildest one we had I would still probably give it a three and a half it's got good flavor I like it but the other one was stronger than this one I mean overall not just heat overall for me honestly I probably eat this because it's my level like flavor consistency and all that overall oh five five yeah definitely yeah it's all there I'm going four and a half it's hard to get a five-star on me it's hard it's pretty hard to get a four out of me but I am going I'm going four and a half though this tastes really good the reason why I give it a five is because I can eat this I could eat this one no problem well yeah we'll finish this one there's only been one that we couldn't finish yeah that was but it was everything it said you know it was good yeah it's just I could that the one you said it said everything it did I don't know if you guys caught that but I was like I didn't catch it to editing I was like you know what you said no yeah all right there you go quick video for tonight cuz I didn't film today so we were busy cleaning my shop out so yeah we're working on it clean my shop out getting rid of stuff we don't need and the neighbor down here was doing the same thing put out about six bicycles so of course I went down talk to him I took the best bike that was there so we'll do a video on that which I may do one more on the free stuff and then it's a puffy but I think it can be saved if it holds air because I won't buy tubes for them things and tubes are too expensive you can't get any money out of bicycles anymore because well people throw them out right and I like to sell stuff cheap for people that can't afford to go by any bicycle yeah like that one bike we gave it you know we sold it to a girl that needed it to go to work yeah I'm glad she got to use it that bike I ran numbers on that thing I found some frame numbers and stuff and it was six months old yeah and all it needed was cleaned up it needed nothing yeah needed some air in the tires and just cleaned up that was it and I'm getting 175 out of it yeah it's like a $275 bike it was only six months old but technically it was you so I sold it for 175 yes I turned it off you don't have to whisper they can hear that Mike can pick you up see these lines in there that's why I look down over the screen a lot guys because I get used to when I have my shotgun mic on which I don't right now but when I have my shotgun mic on I look up here it's got analogs where I can see that it's picking up my voice and stuff so I didn't have a looking over here because if it's anything I hate doing something twice you know you film it and then you find out you have no sound then I gotta go do it again so anyway guys thanks for watching appreciate it oh it is a two thumbs up and like I said a four and a half for me okay because it's got a really good flavor yeah my mouth is teeming down already I didn't get to hiccups no this is very nice this one you could really no problem like them hot ones though yeah yeah that one that one yeah it was the hottest that was the hottest noodles I ever had it was hotter than ones when we was in a motel and I mixed a whole bunch together yeah they were hotter than them so yeah they were good it's springy all right I got a lot on there this time all right okay she better meant main lady now for now month my sister's out for now y'all have a good evening all right we'll see you guys in the next one bye guys


South Africa's health authorities have started vaccinating the homeless, one of the country's most vulnerable communities. They are doing so with one dose of vaccines to ensure food protection against the coronavirus. It is estimated that around 200,000 people live on the streets of the country that is hardest hit in Africa by COVID. The homeless people who want to be vaccinated will be able to sign up whether or not they have formal identity documents. Especially in the winter they are very susceptible to flus and colds and where they may have comorbidities already, TB for example or diabetes, many have HIV. You know these are serious health issues which then they can be impacted further by something like COVID. Because it's a one dose because with a Pfizer it means that you have to come back again 42 days. So we have to provide J&J and I'm glad that and I will be pushing more to be used and also in other homeless shelters because you don't want to bother people to come because they will forget anyway about their return, I mean their return dates. Fresh News Updates


Politico managed to score and I use the word score terribly an interview with Senator Kirsten Sinema and this interview reading this made me want to bang my head against the desk and Not necessarily for the reason that you're thinking because of course Kirsten Sinema is Awful and insufferable. I mean she is a demon basically But it's the way that they frame this that really rubbed me the wrong way So in the first portion, we're just getting to know Kirsten Sinema And here's what the author is right in a 35-minute interview in her miniature pink-hued capital hideaway office Sinema dressed down Democratic leadership for setting expectations too high She also defended the right of her critics to protest her but not to follow her into a bathroom and unfairly and illegally Victimize the students she teaches at Arizona State Sinema also revealed why she's consistently spotted on the floor Chatting with GOP leader McConnell. He has a dry sense of humor. It's underrated. I Want to kill myself after reading that in Roblox, of course That that was bad. That was genuinely bad Okay So we're just one paragraph in and already I want to rip my eyeballs off and and eat them So rip them out, I guess that makes more sense But anyways, I just this line really stood out to be Sinema dressed down democratic leadership for setting expectations too high The Democratic Party leadership she thinks is setting expectations too high So we can't get any cancellation of student loan debt We can't get Medicare for all, but we can't even get a public option at this point Or a semi public option. We get a little bit more money for subsidies for the Affordable Care Act We can't get marijuana legalized recreationally nationwide We can't get basically anything that we wanted and build back better In fact, the things that were good that are still in it have been watered down to oblivion And yet the Democratic Party the corporate Democratic Party leadership is setting expectations too high. I Mean look when it comes to the Democratic Party My expectations are very low. I mean they're below the floor. They're reaching the earth's core low But for her to say that they're setting expectations too high.   She says you're either honest or you're not honest So just tell the truth and be honest and deliver that which you can deliver Sinema said There's this growing trend of people in both political parties who promise things that cannot be delivered in order to get the short term Political game and I believe that it damages the long-term health of our democracy Oh, is that so tell me specifically what you think the Democratic Party is over promising in particular Because what they're essentially promising is crumbs. So what's less than crumbs? Like are you gonna cut each individual crumb in half?  So it's a rare retort to Sinema's opponents She's responded to most criticism with silence whether it's jabs that she's a Republican or that she's imposing tyranny on Democrats And on policy the first-term senator has remained almost completely quiet during breakneck negotiations to finish Biden's agenda Still Sinema laid out some of her thinking explaining that she generally supports adding paid leave to the Democrat social spending bill But not raising tax rates on corporations and some high-income earners saying she will not support tax policies that have a negative impact on our Economic climate and unlike her colleagues senator Joe Manchin She views the bill's climate provisions as the most important part of what is under discussion So the idea is that you know, she's above the fray. She doesn't respond to criticism and Contrary to popular belief. She actually does care about climate change.   It's insufficient because what's in build back better? Isn't going to save the planet from climate apocalypse.  Okay, every time that she says this it makes me irate irrationally so like it shouldn't make me that mad But negotiating in the press would be you going on. I don't know CNN and saying hey Biden Let's bring that salt cap Increase up. Let's let's let's go from 10,000 to 80,000 that would be you negotiating in the press But just stating your position or signaling what you may or may not support That's not negotiating with the press and it's a cop out But really I actually as insufferable as Kirsten Sonoma was throughout the course of this interview I don't find what she said the most egregious because I find her predictably insufferable and stupid and you know vacuous But it's the authors of this article who I really take issue with so They go on to explain how she has a unique political style that might actually pay off and you know You might not like her but she actually has a lot of friends in Congress even Elizabeth Warren said something nice about her Elizabeth Warren said that she's quote very focused Who cares what Elizabeth Warren said?     She has an unorthodox negotiating style But she's just a unique politician and she's thinking outside the box and maybe I can understand her since she's telling me all this But they're not asking any hard-hidden questions. They're not challenging her in this interview. All they're doing is Propaganda they're cleaning up after she made a mess of her own political career and The worst thing the elephant of the room that was not addressed is her corruption So they made it seem as if her actions were guided Exclusively by you know with this strict adherence to principle But she gutted the drug pricing provision of build back better after wrecking in hundreds of thousands of dollars From the pharmaceutical industry and as the Daily Poster reports This industry has spent more than a million dollars on her behalf And if you think that's a lot of money for one industry to spend well It pales in comparison to how much money they saved by backing corporate Democrats like Kirsten Sinema So as the Daily Poster reports the lobbying and advertising campaign against the drug pricing plan Saved them nearly half a trillion dollars. That is quite the return on investment Politico didn't bother to ask Kirsten Sinema about that rather they claimed that her actions were the result of principle Or her just being unique and quirky when in actuality. This is a conflict of interest This is legalized bribes that she took and that's what influenced her actions How could you spend 35 minutes scoring this interview with her and you don't ask that question? You don't bring it up once. I mean, this is journalistic malpractice You get the chance to speak with Kirsten Sinema and you don't even ask about the money She's taken from the pharmaceutical industry or any money. She's taken it's truly absurd and Look, it is the case that I believe mostly right wing media is contributing more and more to the dumb fuck-up occasion of America but things like this that are Fox News light albeit for a Democrat It doesn't help it makes people more stupid It makes them less informed because when people are learning about Kirsten Sinema's motivations Nothing matters except for the political contributions that she's taken her actions aren't driven by her quirky personality or unique negotiating style her actions exclusively are the result of corruption and maybe if Media outlets actually took the time to spotlight the corruption in our political system Maybe it wouldn't be as bad But since the media isn't doing their job Politicians who are shamelessly corrupt like Kirsten Sinema to the extent that they're basically flaunting it in our faces Get to get away with it. They get a free pass. It's it's really infuriating


And how did how did these shape the events that happened? Because I believe, I in man believe, I learned this from my in man, and Leonard Peacock that ideas shape history. They shape the future. They shape human events. They shape your life as an individual. And they shape our lives as a culture and as a historical phenomenon. And you know, now we wanna move on to the main topic, but just I just wanted to give a comment. You know, honestly speaking, I never even heard of Ayn Rand or yourself or even philosophy of objectivism until I started prepping for this interview. And you know, doing a Google search only yields like bias and the inaccurate data of different things. And even two, I feel our listeners probably don't even know who Ayn Rand is, considering they're born way past her timeline. And the most significant history event was either the 2008 Great Recession or 9-11.  So could you tell our listeners who was Ayn Rand? So I do, I need to make one more correction in my bio. I'm not technically the head of the Ayn Rand Institute. And so as a CEO, I was for 17 years. I'm now the chairman of the board. So, you know, Tal Tswani is the CEO of the Ayn Rand Institute, but so just with that, I don't wanna get into trouble. So just with that coming. Sure, I mean, Ayn Rand was a writer, novelist and a philosopher. And for most Genziers, but really for anybody, the thing you wanna really read is the fountain head and Al Shog, you know, hopefully, some of your viewers will have read the books because the books are out there. They're in the culture, they're part of the culture. And even in some schools, particularly in the United States at least, I'm not sure how much in Canada, but also in Canada, at least during my years as head of the Ayn Rand Institute, it was certainly the case in Canada. Fountain head and Anthem and Al Shog were books being read in high schools in Canada. We get a lot of Canadian kids writing into our high school essay contests. We did that in the US and UK in a lot of English speaking countries, even in non-English speaking countries. We have the largest high school essay contest in the world. We get thousands and thousands of essays. And that's how partially how we keep Ayn Rand alive for the younger generations. People go online and look for scholarships. And they find the essay contest and they apply and a lot of people have won a lot of money from us. So Ayn Rand was a novelist primarily and a philosopher. She was born in 1905 in St. Petersburg, Russia. She was born to, her father was a pharmacist. He owned a pharmacy at the bottom of the building in which they lived. So he had a reasonable, a nice business, a reasonable income. And then of course in 1914, you had the Russian revolution. You had the rise of communism. Literally the square where this revolution starts is in St. Petersburg right outside of the pharmacy, right outside of their home. She witnessed it. So she lived through the civil war in Russia during the revolution. And of course, when the revolution was won by the communists, the pharmacy was taken away, nationalized, their apartment was taken away, they had to share it with other families. So she witnessed, was a real witness to life under communism and what that meant as a teenager. She went to university, but it was quite clear that she stayed in the Soviet Union.  I mean, she was an independent thinker from very young and she could not hold her tongue. I mean, she expressed her views and she was gonna get into trouble and there was no question about that. So in a small window of opportunity in the 1920s, when Lenin allowed people to leave in the late 1920s for study abroad type things, she managed to get a visa to the United States to come and research film. She was studying film and she got, she had a cousin in the U.S. who owned a movie theater in Chicago and he wrote a letter and she got out. Her family knew she would never come back. So she got on a train left. They knew they would never see her again. And she came to the United States, came to Chicago with nothing. Then went to Hollywood because her dream was to be a writer and she loved movies. So she wanted to be a screenwriter. She wanted to write for the movies. And on her first day in Hollywood, true story, she goes to Ceci B. DeMille studios. You guys probably don't know who Ceci B. DeMille was, but one of the great pioneers of the movie industry and one of the most famous directors in movie history. And she goes to the studio and she has a lot of introduction. They say, don't call us, we'll call you. She walks out of the studio and Ceci B. DeMille driving by in this massive convertible. And this is the late 1920s and she stares at him. She's this little Russian girl. She stares at him and he stops the car and he says, why are you staring at me? What are you doing here? And she tells him, I'm from Russia and she has this thick Russian accent in her. I wanna get into the movies. I wanna learn everything there is about the industry. I wanna write for the movies. And he says, okay, well, get in the car. Let me show you. So he takes her to where they're filming The King of Kings is a movie silent movie about Jesus Christ, right? And he says, here's a weak pass to the lot so you can learn about the movies. So she becomes an extra on the movie. And for years she has all kinds of odds and ends jobs in the movie business trying to learn. And ultimately she writes scripts. She gets movies made. She reviews scripts. So she becomes part of the industry. She also writes plays and some of them are ultimately performed on Broadway and in LA. She writes her first novel, We the Living, which is a close to an autobiographical novel that she ever wrote. It's about growing up in a communism in the Soviet Union and what life is like. It's a powerful novel. I recommend it to everybody. It's a fairly easy read and it's beautiful and it's heart wrenching because you see what communism really is about. She then writes a little novel letter called a novella called Anthem, which is published in the UK first and only then in the United States, a dystopian type novella. Take you about a couple of hours to read. Definitely worth reading. It's very short, but again, very powerful. And here you can already start seeing the themes. Individualism versus collectivism comes out of this. What is the purpose of life? Is it to live for others or to live for yourself that comes out of this novella? Then she writes a book called The Fountainhead and The Fountainhead is rejected by 12 publishers. But when it comes out, finally the publisher brings it out and they don't quite believe in it.  It still sells tens of thousands and sometimes hundreds of thousands of copies a year around the world. Today it's being translated into almost every language out there. There are more copies of Fountainhead that sell in other languages than in English. It's a huge international bestseller. And I think if you wanna understand... I mean, I think it's the American novel. I think it's the American novel. Forget Scott F. Fitzgerald. It doesn't come close. The Fountainhead represents America in its deepest sense and what it means and what America represents. And then after the Fountainhead, she wrote her, what is a Magnus Opus Atlas Shrugged. It took her 12 years to write. By the time she published this, every publisher wanted it. They bid for it. And when it came out, it was an instant bestseller. And again, it sells hundreds of thousands of copies, tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of copies every single year in every language out there. And it's everybody should read Atlas Shrugged. It's a profound book where she really summarizes her entire philosophy. And then the rest of her life. So this was Fountainhead was published in 45. Atlas Shrugged was published in 1957. I know ancient history for you guys. And then she spent the 60s and 70s really writing philosophical commentary on the culture. Real philosophical original work, but then a lot of what she wrote was commentary on the culture and what was going on. She died in 1982. And the Einman Institute was founded in 1885 to kind of continue promoting her work and make sure that her philosophy stays in the public eye and in the debate and in the discussion. And it's still true that many young people read her book. Many young people are influenced by her. And now with the internet, it's an opportunity to get these ideas to even a broader, bigger audience. So that's who we can talk about her ideas if you like next. Yeah, that was just my... What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, whims or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of despair, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist brought.

Good morning and welcome to the weekly market update with me David Madden Today's date is Monday the 4th of November 2019 and the time is just gone 10.05 GMT It's been a fairly positive start to the European session this morning As always trade is in focus and we heard from Wilbur Ross who is the US Commerce Secretary He said he said on one hand In relation to the US China trade It's you know likely that the US or sorry karate licenses to US companies dealing with the Chinese company Huawei That's a step in the right direction for US China trade and also in relation to US EU trade you can I said is you know It's possible or as likely the tariffs in relation to EU vehicles won't be opposed So that doesn't have a step in the right direction on that front Global trade sentiment seems to be more positive and hence why we're seeing a decent push higher in European equity markets It's also worth remembering at the very back in the last week We had by and large a good set of employment figures out of the US the headline non-farm perils figure in the US came in well Above expectations the previous number was out of decent revision to the upside There's an ever saw slightly took higher in unemployment, which is near the world and wages were fairly steady. So Combination of a decent jobs in forward from the back end of last week plus positive sounds in relation to well global trade Yeah, US and China and US and the EU and I feel vouching if you can if you know If you look at the trade that goes on between the US China and trade to go on between the US and the EU Takes up a large portion of the world's trade. So really kind of a split trader traders in a trader is an optimistic mood this morning this bit there's been a number of economic indicators out of out of Europe Broadly speaking some downbeat manufacturing numbers out of the Arizona and some not so not so impressive Construction figures out of the UK, but the headline story is very much trade focused So what I'm gonna do is I take a quick look at the week ahead And then after that I will then run through some of the major equipments Some of the major markets and the week ahead article can be found on our website If you go to cmcmarkets.com and under insights under news analysis You'll find the article. So later on today. We have third quarter figures from Uber Tomorrow we have the Interest decision from the Reserve Bank of Australia on Wednesday. We have fourth quarter numbers of Paul calm On Wednesday, we have raft of service PMI reports from major economies around the world on Wednesday We also have first-half figures from M&S Thursday, we have the Bank of England interest rate meet interest rate decision and also the inflation report but keep in mind given that what's going on with Brexit and The fact that's been pushed back potentially as late as January It's early 2020 and we also have a general election coming up in the UK in December It's hardly likely back in England. We'll be doing any kind of major moves It most likely will just say that they're observing the pinnacle situation It's probably appearing for some time on Thursday We have first-half figures from Sainsbury's and on Thursday. We have third quarter numbers from acid burden so first things first I'll start off with the Indices look at a couple of currency pairs and then finish up on some commodities. So starting off with the FTSE numbers So take a look here Basically for the last month we've seen a decent move to the upside in the FTSE when on British and today We've hit a level last seen at the very beginning of October Which isn't massive, but it's nonetheless, you know, what we guys are over a highest in a month is still very significant Especially when you look at what's going on the German market and the US market So things are moving and moving to the upside There's a steady increase in positive momentum as well. So they can be more, you know It's clear that but the bulls the buyers are in control. If you do press on higher from here We can look at retesting the late September high this is old here in around 7,440 Or potentially up to this is old here 7,470. So these are the areas potential areas of resistance should the Polish move to the upside continue if you do see a move a move lower We could find some support from this blue line here. They fit the movie average We can see nicely that acted as what resistance and support not too long ago And if a metric has been important in the past it makes it more likely it'll be important in the future Although if there are no guarantees and that metric comes into play at 7,259 And any drop below that we saw like a solid acceleration in around the 7,200 area So these are potential areas for support should the market take a move to the downside Take a look what's going on over in Germany Obviously the car manufacturing sector is a big part opponent of the German economy So the news announcement that the US may not be looking to kind of have Get into a tariff spot with this with the with the EU in relation to hotels In relation to vehicles has really boosted the German market And that's why today we see the German market hit 11 last seen in June 2018 So that really tells you everything you know about about the kind of how things are going over in Germany We're comfortably above the psychological important 13,000 mark After the amount of press and hire from here you could be like you try getting this zone here in around 13,200 If you do on the other hand though do see if you happen to see a move to the downside We could find some support from 13,000 it's big psychological number, but also this area here in around 12,900 This is this zone of say 100 points 30,000 Over 12,900 the active as support And even if you drop below that this area here in around 12,800 Might act as support now, but if you're looking at you know, charting price Is by far the most important indicator that price tells you 90% of the bench basically of what you need to know But it's also just keep keeping an eye on Another indicator as well. So if you take a look at the MACD histogram the MACD Indicator you can see that at the the underlying market is moving higher clearly in an upward trend But we actually have seen fairly steady decline in parts of momentum. So the market's pushing higher So that that's really what you should be focused on but at the same time you have to be aware that It's getting it's achieving higher highs on lower momentum. So that could be a sign The mark the the buyers the bulls are kind of running out of running out of steam So we could see a bit of a pullback. So that's why I was saying that, you know, keep an eye out for 13,000 or 12,900 So we might see a bit of a pullback, but the fact that the market as it is at highest level in over a year Is it really kind of take away a message from this chart? So we've seen how the footsie Has been It's a it's a highest level in over a year on the DAX In particular like what's going on over in the US Well, it would look appear what would appear as if the US market could the Dow Jones could could potentially open at a All-time high. We saw all-time highs on the S&P 500 last week and the Nasdaq 100 on last week Not on the on the Dow Jones yet, but that could all change today. So equity markets equity sentiment Pots equity market sentiment in the US is very strong. We could be looking at opening at or near an all-time high That gives you a great clear indication of the sentiment over the US We're currently expecting the Dow Jones to open around 27,430 If you do manage to kind of open if you do manage to continue in the kind of wide-ropper trend We could be looking at targeting 27,500 to 8,000 to 7,600 If we do see any moves to the downside The support could be found in this zone here in around 27,200 Or from the kind of psychological number itself 27,000 And if you drop below that this this area here the the lows of late October in around 26,915 might act as support And essentially why we hold above this blue line here the 50 moving average which comes to the play 26,779 While we hold above that it's likely that we are going to see Further moves to the upside is and it's only really if you have a slice of break below that Because then we begin to think okay. Maybe we could speed for a bit of a deeper Deeper pullback and we could really get it back toward this red line here Which the tourney moving average and that can display at 26,262 As I mentioned a second ago, the S&P 500 racked up all-time highs last week If things continue with the way they are the US market the cash market is under way We could be looking at seeing even Even higher all-time highs So we're very much in an upward trend on the on the S&P 500 We're currently expecting the S&P 500 to open at 3,080 There they're about if you press the higher from here a community authority in 3,090 or perhaps Beyond that in the medium term up towards 3,100 If you do see any kind of pullbacks We could see some fresh buyers end of the fold as buying the dip has been a popular strategy in recent weeks and months So if we do have a move to the downside support can be found from this area here in around 3,055 down towards 3,035 so that kind of zone Of 20 points can act as support And even if you drop below that this area here this line in around 3,025 That area might act as support also and then of course even if you drop below that You did see a lot of consolidation in around the psychology important 3,000 metric I take a look now a couple of the big currency pairs starting off with the euro versus the US dollar So you can see here from late september onwards early october onwards We didn't see a fairly decent bounce back in the euro versus the US dollar And we're still very much in that upward trend But we haven't the highs of late october and early november haven't really taken up the highs of early october just yet We're not too far away from it We could be on the cusp of it and if we do press an iron from this area here We could be making a targetting 112 which kind of coincides with this red line the charity moving average And if we go beyond that we could be making a targetting this zone here the early august high in at once about 1249 If you do see a bit of a move to the downside Support could be found from it to this yellow line here. The water didn't move the average We see that actually as resistance and in resistance in august And also we can see here that we saw some Some consolidation around this not another goal So the area might act as support and that comes into play at one spot 11 23 And it's only really if you can drop take out the recent lows the the late august lows Late october lows apologies. This is early here in around one spot 10 75 So really if you break below that can help you kind of take okay, maybe My that should look to head a bit lower. I shouldn't that be the case Support could be found from this blue line here the fifth that move the average and that comes to play at one spot 10 40 Take a look now at the pound versus the us dollar so We see a massive bounce back from early september early september onwards in the british pound Days to move to the upside through september and then really and then basically the middle of october and the announcement that the british government and the eu reached a deal and then the subsequent approval and principle of that deal has really Said that said the british hound higher against the The us dollar in fact we hit a level in late october We had a five month high and even though we have pulled back a small bit and kind of Looked to move higher again. We're still very much in that upward trend And if you do manage, you're going to press on higher from here We communicate we test the one spot 30 area and if you go beyond that We could be looking at targeting the late august high or sorry apologies the early may high this area here in one spot 31 78 and if you do have Any move to the downside support you found this zone here in around one spot 28 And even if you go below that you could come into play from this red line here the during the movie average in at one spot 20 is in at um one spot 3 7 10 I took a look now at some commodities The gold market and also the the pound and also set the pound the the old market So starting off with gold we can see that gold is still very much in a software trend It achieved a six month high in In early early september and ever since then it's broadly been trading a bit to the downside But it's more kind of range bound than anything um We were comfortable just we're comfortably above the kind of psychology important 1500 Dollar mark but at the same time. We can't really get above the kind of 50 20 area We can't really just really go below the kind of 14 80 14 80 area either So we're kind of stuck in that kind of 40 point range. So if you do see a break above 15 20 We could be like you're targeting the september high which comes to play in around the early september high in around 14 35 put the uh The chart on there the bar on there And at the downside if you do have a fairly Size of break below 1500 we could be looking heavy back down towards The early august early october low in at 14 79 it's um It's not entirely surprising that we saw gold have a massive positive run for after months and months and months and they'd have Well a bit of a sideways move a bit of a kind of on an industry kind of a bit of a holding pattern um But keep in mind that it's it hasn't despite the fact that I had a colossal rally um From really kind of well starting all the way back In august had a colossal rally and loads of ground was made It's a it's a bit of a surprise. It hasn't actually given up more ground So with anything which actually talks about the resilience of the gold market You know, you know, you might you might and I think in that We could be head back towards 1400 before the wire shrink continues But we still have very much hanging around 1500. So to be honest, I found the gold market at the moment While we hold above 1500 the bias is still to the upside. So we could be like retesting 14 35 in the medium term And that's only really if you have a size of break below The early october low in around 14 59 because then we begin to think actually, you know what we could be head back down towards 1400 then What I'm now going to do is take a look at the oil markets starting off with a brink crude And then we should look to wrap things up so we can see if we draw a line between the lows of early october and then and then the lows of Up kind of late ish october you get this trend line along here And essentially while we hold above that trend line It's likely we could see you know further gains being made in the the oil markets And if we do press on our front here, we can really get directly this zone here in around 63 63 dollars a barrel and if you go beyond that you can really get targeting this red line here Which comes to play at 64 spot 78 And then if you get above that you can really get targeting this area here in around 56, sorry 65 spot 79 On the tip side if you do you might have a fairly decent break to the downside and we take out this trend line here And we go below the kind of 60 dollars per barrel we could then be looking at targeting this zone here down around 56 spot 71 That is brink crude and i'll take a look at wti Similar situation whereby since early october it has been pressing higher Once again, if you draw a line between the lows of early october and the lows of mid october We get this trend line here and notice how the market's being told to be above that For the last few weeks But we're still having really has you taken out the truly moving average this red line here Which comes to play at 57 spot 18 So that's that that could be potentially the next area For for resistance for move to the upside I think i'll be on that It could then be looking forward this area here in around 58 dollars a barrel On the flip side if you do have a very decent move lower and we take out the recent lows here We could really be heading back down toward this trend line Which you come into play in around 53 dollars a barrel and the move below that could take a set back down Towards this area here down around the kind of earlier earlier Be able to the the mid october low in around 51 spot 41 and move below that could take us back down towards The lowest seed at beginning of the month just north of 51 dollars a barrel Well, thank you for tuning in and that's all for me this week. Thank you very much
