Let's get this show on the road We're going to take a look at the German Dax here as you can see here This is a four-hour chart going back to late March a beautiful three-drive to a top pattern You can see the time between the first high the middle high and the third high all right in perfect That makes it a perfect ABCD had a nice little correction coming down from the 78 percent level And we're going to see if it's going to hold up here if it's not so we'll be able to see what's that just remember folks Tomorrow is the most famous day in all of Arizona and that is your one day away from Cinco de Mayo today and believe me this used to be a rock-and-roll place Being right on the Mexican border, but by golly. They're not being much going on right now They're having specials that they'll deliver the margaritas to your house if you want, but Fortunately, we don't we don't partake in that live asian, but we'll see what's going on here now Let's just get on to the next one, which is the footsie. We want to congratulate mr. Boris Johnson on the arrival of his new Offspring his little son and he named it after his doctors, which is nice It's a good things his doctors weren't named Carol Sally and Louise. Otherwise he would have a Problem like Johnny cash he had a girl named Sue, but he's going to do okay Anyway, do you see this pretty much the same pattern here in the footsie, but it's also much weaker You could see it could barely make, you know, the 50% level from way back in March and it only made a 61% retracement from the high that it made in Early March, so those are just a few things that we're watching here to see what's going on By the way, that is that that corona beer here my neighbor Fred he I go to a Costco for him and he wanted to buy some beer and he just said buy the Costco beer and they were out of Costco beer So a coronal, which is a premium beer was selling at a huge discount and the young man there told me he says we can't give This stuff away evidently that the thought of the corona virus and the corona beer were Interlinked forever, but we'll see what's going on here Okay, folks the main thing that happened last week, of course was the fact that we made that 61% retracement In the s&p 500 up there. We also made a perfect 78% retracement in the NASDAQ Just absolutely spot-on it couldn't have been any better. I'll get this up here so you folks can Hopefully we'll take a look at it here Yes, sir. We can here. We'll get it up here. You'll see here. Where we go All right eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight if you need to call in Alice says the lines are really jammed up right now, but if you keep trying you'll probably get through You'll see here. We did make that we had the big gap down and we're gonna gap down a little bit today But not very much we got down substantially last night early We were down about 50 handles at one time and then we rallied back and we still haven't Retrace the whole gap. So if we can if we can get into that gap area, which is around 2812 That would be a sign and folks this thing is just flat out bearish I'm I hate to tell you this but this is a really very scenario that we're looking at here The only thing it's going to change it is if we reverse here today or tomorrow and go back and Take out those highs and then Then that would mean something but right now G This looks really bad and if you look at, you know, some of the other indices, you know That really help things moving along and that is the you know things like the transportation index and stuff like that Look at the look at the Dow Jones Transportation folks how bearish it is and then you wonder you hear something when you come in on Sunday night Right after the Berkshire Hathaway meeting They understood that mr. Berkshire himself Warren Buffett had decided to sell all of his airline stocks And he told everybody that after the markets closed on Friday and someone emailed me over the weekend It says why didn't mr. Buffett tell us he was going to sell those shares ahead of time And I thought about that for a minute say how well how do I answer that and then I finally answered and says he Probably didn't want you to know that he was going to sell him. Hmm. What a strange phenomenon The one thing about mr. Buffett and Charlie Munger folks those dudes are really savvy individuals They know how to make a buck And they've been doing it for years and years. So you don't want to fade, you know, Warren Buffett I followed his career for many years even when before he was famous because back in days of Early days at Drexel there were quite a few Drexel customers that bought into Berkshire Hathaway I wasn't smart enough to do that But and so I followed what they did and one of my favorites is a few years ago This is going back to 20 years or more silver was trading at 14 And mr. Buffett came out and said that Berkshire Hathaway owned 20% of all the above ground silver in the world I don't think that was true But that's what he said and then when his report came out in the following month for Berkshire Hathaway Guess how much silver mr. Buffett had you're right It topped on the day that he said it and it dropped about $5 an ounce back down to about $8 as I recall But you know, they use this to move their positions and they have to because that's just The way that the way things go Carl icon is a master of that And some of these other guys are too. So be careful when you hear what they're doing Do you remember folks? Just this was the most classic of all was in 2008 when oil was a hundred and forty four dollars a barrel and Goldman Sachs came out with their report of $200 a barrel oil. Oh, no, I mean within 24 hours of the high and it had a sell-off it went from 144 all the way down to six dollars minus 37 dollars a barrel. So it's not what you read It's what you see trade what you see not what you think not what you read not what you hear You know, see what it's doing and doing that market feedback is very very important and in regarding market feedback folks We had a tremendous market feedback last Thursday when we had all of these numbers come out for Let me get this up here to take a look at it. All of these numbers came out in the for the Facebook Amazon Google Microsoft all of them were up 10% or more Aftermarket on on that Wednesday and then on Thursday the market atop Wednesday night late And then on Thursday the market couldn't even open higher and then you see it gaps down here on Friday and now we've got that gap there at That if the gap down today, there'll be another gap if that doesn't feel then you're telling it The market has given you feedback information that yes, we want to go a little bit lower So we'll see that the fact that we gapped below 2800 last night to me was very very important We went back and tagged that area several times, but there should be really strong resistance at 2815 in the S&P here today because we think we're in the midst of a three to five day minimum three to five day move And if you remember we had Tim bossed on Friday and Tim just about guaranteed us that on May the 11th coming up here at a week from Today we're probably going to be looking at something showing the markets going to be down around 26 and change in this So that's another thing that we want to pay a close attention to Okay, all right, let's move on to the next one here. We've got a break coming up I don't know about the main thing.

I've always had a difficulty and John Hill who taught me that stuff way back in 1970 and 71 also had a difficult time counting the waves. I know guys have these wonderful counts and I don't understand them They don't make any sense to me, but this makes sense to me Look at the bottom that we made down there at 1440 folks We have a huge rally up then we have a beautiful ABCD pattern coming down But what I want to point out to you on this is look at the time down in the correction from the top down to that correction down at 1580 That was exactly the same amount of time 36 240 minute bars now if you go to the high that it made up there at 1788 Look at the number of bars to the next low 36 240 minute bars it makes a high again at 1762 at the 78 percent retracement and again the low that we made on Friday was within two bars of the 36 bars of four minutes for our charts So this is telling you that this has a lot of harmony in this and it was a buy down there a Friday at 1678 we pointed that out in the video and now we're having this rally and if it's bearish this rally is not going to extend past 1730 right now we're trading around 1710 1711 I believe But if we can get above 1730, then this has a possibility of finally breaking out to the upside The problem is we have two wicked steps steps sisters One is silver and the other is the is the gold platinum market both of those don't look very good And since we're talking about silver and gold. I wanted to bring this chart to you it was sent to me by Someone from the Elliott wave group and I just want to bring it up and show you the difference here That we're looking at here in silver and gold. This is the biggest discrepancy we've had in gold and silver in other words silver is trading around 15 gold's trading around $1,700. Okay. Now remember platinum used to trade at a thousand dollar premium to to the gold market a thousand dollar premium now it's a thousand dollar discount That's because you know, we're not using Combustion engine cars and from what they tell us now this coronavirus has a you know, really good a Really good side effect and that is that we're seeing, you know the smog clear up in many many places People are starving, but they still have clean air to breathe. So that's very very good personally folks Let's not Larry just stepped off his his Soul box for he's not going to talk about anything like that today. So let's move on to something that I Basically try to understand but sometimes I don't let's take one look at one other thing that I think it happened It is very very important to give me a second here I want to get this up here because it's related to the euro And we'll get it up here to take a quick look at it here And you'll be able to see that This is the euro on the daily. You'll notice on Friday. We made a 61 percent retracement of the secondary March high We've already backed off a hundred pips last night and if you took the time to look at the newsletter and compare the euro daily versus the You dollar index daily You'll see that the dollar index could not do that on the downside in other words It made a double bottom there when the euro was breaking out That was a divergence and that was nothing more than a you know a small Divergence where the euro was trading more actively than the overall dollar index, but the dollar index is 53 percent of the euro So what was happening is there were things in the yen and the pound the Australian and the Canadian were not doing things Very much. So that's what made that divergence The other thing that's important about that is I use time counts when I look at ABCD patterns If I have an AB if I have an AB pattern that has seven bars in it or you know, whatever the time frame is I want that CD to make it a you know make the same number of bars Now the difference is is that if you get to point C and it explodes out of there you can almost Absolutely hundred or not hundred percent. There's nothing hundred percent is to expect that that CD leg is going to be a big Big expansion of the AB leg it'll be one point two seven or one point six one eight I see there David has made some comments about the Star Wars movie that came out that didn't get very good reviews Believe it or not. I saw the original Star Wars movie and back over my guys back in the old Drexel days Mike milk and rented the whole theater there to let everybody see it So I'm just not into that sci-fi stuff and that's you might find that hard to believe since Gene Roddenberg He was one of my customers at Drexel, but I just just don't get it yet. I'm Really like the ancient aliens a history channel. I like to watch that stuff on the Geometry of the markets and our geometry of the earth and all that kind of stuff has always been very interesting to me Now I've had several questions about the corn market. I want to get this chart up to show you here folks This is a Weekly I know mr. Z is now is looking for buys and wheat corn and beans here is the long-term weekly price level going back a year Actually two years you can see that we have this giant ABCD pattern is completing down here and around Threat run around three dollars a bushel and I think that's going to be close I'm still waiting for the pattern I tried to nibble at it a little bit at 325 and Quickly they got me out of the farming business as fast as they possibly could Doing that but I think that we're getting close to some of these commodity prices Because they are very oversold and I want to just give you one other one here that looks really good because folks as You can just write this down. This is you see this ABCD pattern that we're seeing here in live cattle prices Well cattle prices are going to be going up and they're going to be going up a lot Because the boys have cut back production and they're getting rid of excess beef now So prices are really low But they take those cows take a long time to make baby cows And so it's going to be a while before it hits but when it does and when it does it's going to be pretty awesome So be very careful if you can put a little stakes or you know jobs or whatever you just put them in your freezer You'll save them for a rainy day because they are going to be a lot higher for sure Well, what we'll move on here. Yes, tofu is soybean meal Duffy and that also has gone up in price But the price of meal itself has been really smashed down We'll we'll bring that to your attention here, but it's been one of the things that is, you know drug the Soybean market down so much soybean oil is held up relatively well, which is basically cooking oil and paint but you'll notice here that the all the market on the Meal was really been hit really bad and meal is primarily, you know Feed for cattle and then tofu and all the other things that it's used for its pure protein The soybean is one of the most perfect plants It was brought to the United States by Henry Ford because he wanted to have an oil based paint So that he could add pigment to it and make cars that were other than black and that's how it all started And originally back in the old days and tear-hold Indiana when the farmers planted corn one year They would plant beans the next year and then they would till the beans right into the soil Because of the nitrogen because it was more important to get that nitrogen level up for the corn crop than it was for beans And then as the demand for bean with margarine you young people don't know this But when we first got margarine, it was always white the the Wisconsin, you know people the what do you call those dudes? that Politicians they made you add yellow dye to it in order to do that. Yep. That's it eight seven seven nine two seven six six Four eight, we'll be right back Larry Pezzavento watches the markets 24 seven and now is a great time to try out his daily trading service Fibonacci 24 seven Larry publishes videos and charts for subscribers throughout the week when warranted and every weekend He puts out a thorough report covering worldwide markets futures commodities and currencies with Fibonacci retracement levels possible trading setups and zones and stops and targets for all recommendations included Larry applies the principles He's developed over decades of trading while analyzing a variety of markets for subscribers To see for yourself the types of videos charts and analysis that Larry provides for his subscribers Sign up for Fibonacci 24 seven today by visiting the front page of TFNN comm under the newsletter tab You'll also gain instant access to Larry's archive subscriber webinar from earlier this year new subscribers get a 30-day Moneyback guarantee so you have nothing to risk sign up today If you're a trader in the market looking to find the path that leads to Maximizing profits while decreasing risk then now is a great time to try out Dave White's daily trading service The path of lease resistance through the use of options and equity trades Dave advises his subscribers on a daily basis of the current market conditions and what possible trade setups are on the horizon The path of lease resistance is published every trading morning often with updates intraday when initiating trades or closing out positions Dave White has advised his clients of some outstanding winning options and equity trades in recent months And now is a great time to try it out for yourself new subscribers to the path of lease resistance receive a 30-day Moneyback guarantee see for yourself the types of options and equity trades that are available by signing up for the path of lease Resistance today by visiting the front page of TFNN comm and selecting the newsletter tab sign up today TFNN is excited about our new software charting program the art of timing the trade charts in Collaboration with Tom O'Brien and using his best-selling book the art of timing the trade your ultimate trading mastery system David White has programmed an Outstanding piece of software that will complement any traders methodology using this first-of-its-kind program The art of timing the trade charts allows you to scan thousands of stocks for Fibonacci formation setups including guard lease ABCs Butterflies and much more the art of timing the trade charts is designed to help you when scouring the markets for stocks Just beginning to form the trading patterns that many investors spend days weeks or even months Searching to find and right now we're offering licenses available at only $79 a month we are so confident that you're gonna love this new charting software that will even give you a 30-day Unconditional money back guarantee don't miss out on this incredible new piece of software Get your copy of the art of timing the trade charts today by visiting TFNN comm This segment is brought to you by think or swim For more information just click the think or swim banner on the front page of TFNN comm Okay, folks. I wanted to talk a little bit more about the This soybean all thing because David is correcting me saying that that's not true that you could get cars that were Other colors early. That's that's true because they were made with lacquer Which is nothing more than ground-up insects as I recall, but when I was in graduate school Which hasn't been too long ago. Maybe three or four years You know, I remember listening to this more than once About Ford and the soybean plants and because I was living in the soybean country It had a little bit of interest to me, but I guess I'm wrong So we'll see I remember that they wanted it They wanted soybean oil because it was cheaper and you could here They were starting to make a lot of cars back in the late 30s and that's when they needed the coloring So I don't know if that's true or not But that's what I remember and I'm sticking to it and I'm probably wrong again But that's neither here nor there Hold on one second questions question is when do I throw in the towel? But this is not a new bull market when it makes a new high when it makes a new high the towel goes in and that's pretty much it So that's the way I see it. I don't know. I'm just a little country boy, you know, just trying to look at patterns That's all I'm looking at I stay away from that new stuff. I'll tell you the more I see of it It's just absolutely sickening what happens with the news I mean, it's not only that but it's here the only country where you get news It's really fair is in Singapore because if you publish fake news over there You get $10,000 fine in a year in jail boom done You know why they don't have drugs in China folks as you walk into China There's a big sign up there like we see welcome to the United States of America This one says you sell drugs here.  It's an automatic death penalty that really cuts back on the drug usage So we'll see by the way, this is the Out of the last 11 days, there's been one death in Hong Kong. That means a total of six people Of six 7.2 million people six people have died of the coronavirus. This is the same virus That has shut down the world's economy Think about that for a minute. I am a little suspect. Well, see I'm guess my old My old what do you call this thing? My defense mechanisms are kicking in the old conspiracy theory stuff So we'll be able to see what's moving on here Okay. Alrighty, let's move on here and see what's we're doing. We just sold off about the 10 points in the s&p See we got the gold up at 17 14 The bonds are still looking weaker and weaker folks I believe that's going to be the next big surprise in the markets And believe me all I'm looking at here is when I watch these These longer term patterns and stuff. I'm trying to find the ones that You know, at least give me a pretty good spot to uh Now I can't get the thing to move up and down to get my charts. Oh good shot. Larry. This is not good Oh, this is not good Shucks. All right. Let me try one more time to get the bond up here and I'll be all right Hold on. This is one say. Hey, we're gonna get it. We're gonna get it. We're gonna get it. There we go This is what I think is important in the bonds again. This is just this is just patterns folks You'll bring us over here. You'll be able to see this We're up with the 61 retracement again We have been here for two months folks until we get above close above that 183 level It looks to me like the movement in the bonds as to the downside I know that's hard to think that we could possibly have higher interest rates But that in in fact is what we could be looking at. I'm not sure But that's that's neither here nor there The one other one that I wanted to mention here I wanted to get this to your attention because I think it's really important here Is that fact that we have had such a little action In the transportation index and stuff like that that's very very bearish to the market because that's how Stuff is moving, but you know, we'll just follow one thing at a time. That's what we're watching Now I wanted to spend just a tiny bit of time here in the dollar index because I sent out a video and I had several questions about it I might we'll answer them right now and this is the This is the daily chart of the dollar index and I want you to look at the Time from around the 30th of march. You'll notice the market rallies up six days. It comes down six days It rallies up seven days. It comes down seven days Folks when you start to see sequences like that, they repeat over and over again. Remember in dr. Andrew Lowe's book He says the reason why these patterns work is they repeat With the regularity and they are predictable within limits, which proves that the market is not only, you know, uh, non-random Okay, and it is chaotic But within that chaos or non-random patterns and that's what you're looking for is to find those non-random patterns Look at the look at the thunderbolt a b c d there that's in the middle of between january and march All you have to do Is to count from the low to the high of the ab leg and then count the low the high of the c d leg And you're going to see the g What's it went up 18 days and it came down 18 days 16 days So that's uh, that's what you're trying to do is to find some symmetry there that makes the market look like That's what it really wants to do. That's the whole key to Seeing what we're watching here. Someone's asked a question about the copper Copper is held up relatively well During this whole thing we had a one heck of a rally in copper And I believe if we'll just get this up here I got to move over to the futures for just a second and we'll get the old copper up here. Here we come And you'll see that we are still trading up. We're under that 240. Oh shut the front door and raise the rent something just happened and Give me a second here. I hit the wrong button boy. That was a disaster All right We see we went up to that 382 retracement now. This is a weekly So it's taken six weeks for the market to make a 382 retracement there At 242 if we can get copper above 245 Then yes, it could probably have more of a move to the downside to the upside But right now I have to be the copper tells me that we still should be bearish And we want to be able to watch that as we as we look at some of these things unfold here today. So let's be careful Oh, David's saying something here Oh, it's about Jesse Livermore. That that's a book that everybody should read reminiscences of a stock operator. My goodness I can you know, you know that book. I mean I've been doing this for 60 years that book says sets next to me every day I refer to it all the time. I mean, it's just amazing all the stuff that's in there I mean, it's just Incredible what the guy really did, you know, and this is Really, really amazing stuff. All right, now they're chatting about natural gas here in the market I believe we started that probably a pretty good bullish move here natural gas. I know it's moving up pretty good today uh, which is in Opposite of what other some of these other commodities are doing so I believe when we get to that 215 level that's going to be a really key level to watch because that'll be the determining factor now Remember when we got to one one point seven five that was a one three five pattern Just absolutely perfect. You had a point one down in late march Point two a little higher in on april the 17th and then on May the excuse me on april the 27th. You had another higher high Exactly at the 61 percent retracement to the tick at 174 And boom now we're making that abcd to the upside that should come in around 2.15 is what I would think so those are the things that Natural gas is pointing to now there was a cycles seminar over the weekend And when we come back from the break, I'm going to review Some of the things that they talked about it was very well attended. There were some Quite a few people in that and that was just on the first day Plus it was being you know archives So if you wanted to see it all you have to do is to contact andy pancoli And he can certainly tell you how to get to it It's just a cycles research.com or something like that is a place to do it eight seven seven nine two seven six six four eight If you're in the cd market and looking for a secure investment The tiger first mortgage program may work for you The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in st.

I posted the long-term cycles from china that the foundation talked about saturday in their webinar They also brought an interesting one up which is the virus cycles because uh, we see these all the time They're not in the news unless we shut down the nations like we've done here But you can see here since 16 18 that we've had, you know, many of these Pandemics that have happened to us, but nothing where they've shut everything down like that we've done now that that That to me is just totally unbelievable here that we could see something like that happen you know every day in the united states 7500 people die And unfortunately, that's all part of the old life and death cycle Nothing you can do about that boys and girls the old man with the sickle is always standing behind you It's just a question of when god spins that roulette wheel Whenever she's your number come up then she tells the guy take it out And that's what you move on to the next stage of your existence whatever that might be And if you want to know what that is send me some cash It's at 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 and use the promo code 1 2 3 4 All right, let's move on here to the other thing that I wanted to mention here This is the the virus cycles over the last 60 years These are the ones that we're mainly familiar with the Hong Kong flu age sars and now COVID-19 so those are You're just a few other we did all kinds of cycle work in there folks They had some incredible stuff if you do have an interest in it We're going to have Andy on again on thursday because he does his own stuff related to the market And he's very very adept I happen to know him through one of my very dear friends who Got me interested in this or I got him interested in it and he's taken it to a totally different level But this will be really good to see what's going on Remember folks the federal reserve can do anything they want when you look at your bills And you know your your dollar bills 5s 10s It doesn't say united states of america says federal reserve note And it doesn't say in god we trust it now says in god we trust it So let's see what happens. I don't know what's going to happen if they keep putting out money like this It's not going to be very very pretty I did want to spend just a tiny little bit of time here on this uh long term weekly continuation chart In the crb index, let's get this up move up here. You'll be able to see it. Here we are You'll see we're sitting there at a possible double bottom here between march and may here In the commodity index. I'm really watching that one closely because if we go below that three 300 level that means we've got massive deflation and that is not going to be very good probably You know after we get through this next two weeks to see how these Different states open up and if the death rate isn't too bad They'll probably start moving towards a normal see where we do herding or whatever that is to get everybody to be careful now I know people at my age are the most uh to worry about And uh our young our neighbor across the street who's 94 years old is absolutely scared to death of it She actually had her daughter come down from new mexico to take care of her because she was so afraid of catching the virus and I Told her the first thing you do is to start watching roger ramjet or The three stooges on the tube instead of watching the news because that's what they're doing is there's instilling fear In people everywhere and that is not a good thing. I thought it was very nice that ex-president bush came out and You know talked about we're all in this together. We all should try to work together. Well, good luck with that That's not worked very much because people have different opinions and when people have different opinions That's when the process lies I I saw one of the guys saying this was the greatest thing to happen to the united states and the rest of the world was coronavirus Because you could see the clear air and be Beijing You could see the clear air in hong kong and new york and all the other places and in the Los angeles. Well folks, uh, I know that the small can be bagged bad in some of those places, but I'll tell you this they've heard a lot of people shutting down all these businesses these little mom and pop places that probably never re-open And um, we'll see what happens. So I don't know that's my 10 four Anyway, I appreciate all the calls coming in today. Hope I answered all your questions We had one other thing that when I wanted to mention to you is we're going to have dr. David paul on tomorrow He's the one to help get tom hugard to where he is and then on Wednesday we're going to have storm and norman from the winski group down there at astro trends And on thursday, we're going to have andy bakoli from cycles research over in Asant cycles research, but he'll be on and then we'll be able to have a free day on friday, which will be Thank god, it's friday. Hopefully we all be able to go out to a restaurant Pretty soon and we'll move on to that level. I need to check to see what the markets are doing right now folks I wanted to see how we're handing up in here Okay, there we are. Okay. All right Watch that watch the price of 28 20 folks in the s&p because if we should close above that That would be a very very positive sign because that would be nothing more than a 382 correction Excuse me a three-day correction But I don't know if we can do that or not But if we're able to do that that would be a pretty bullish thing You know in in my opinion. So that's it In order for gold to be bullish folks, it's got to get about 17 27 That was a second question someone asked me here this morning. So that's another one that we needed to You know pay sort of close attention to To see what that's going to do. But right now we got the s&p's down about look like down about 30 handles We just dropped about well, we went from 06 all the way down to 86 89 In a matter of a few heart beats and now we're backing and filling here And keep an eye on it because remember that first hour and a half of the day Folks is what we call amateur hour. That's when all the orders come in And sometimes they're right sometimes they're wrong but sort of pay attention to it because it's another part of market feedback that you get that is You know pretty important at least from a technical standpoint as we as we look at some of these things Because the crude oil market folks, uh, I have spent a lot of time on that crude oil market because You know, we have broken down through levels that we've not seen before And I think that the crude oil market is going to be in a situation where we Are going to be looking at some really interesting patterns here And we'll bring this up to you because this is the one i'm watching for today if we do get there Today or tomorrow watch this one. You notice this is the this is the spot crude. We're now looking at the june contract You can't trade june. You have to trade june and july are off limits for trading but you can trade august Which is pretty good and december has got very very heavy open interest So december 2020 crude is tradable, but they all have the same pattern You can see the 135 pattern with the big gap down Then we had to rally up at 0.3. That's another big move down And then we had to rally up now coming in another two and a half dollars A barrel higher In that would be in the you'll be watching the august or the december if you get that You'll be watching that very very closely. So watch a two and a half dollar rally in oil And it could be very quick. In other words, it could be that yes, the Saudis and the russians have kissed and made up and Tesla's decided not to build any more cars without electricity and then maybe it'll rally I don't know. It's just a nice pattern pay attention to it You know, they don't always work, but when they do it sometimes can be very nice Whoever thought that we would see crude oil under The price of zero at 37 dollars minus a barrel that that was an aberration And that won't happen again most probably because the merc does not want to have that bad Stigma on them.

Many Wyoming rivers, streams, and lakes would not boast as many fish if not for fish stocking efforts. Fish hatcheries play an important role in boosting fish numbers across the state. The Saratoga Fish Hatchery is a facility that is committed to the reproduction and longevity of trout species since opening in 1911. The hatchery is a federal fish hatchery that focuses on producing trout eggs for lake and brown trout that can be transported to lakes and streams. The hatchery also maintains a brood stock population of McConaughey Rainbow Trout. The hatchery works closely with many state, federal, tribal, school, and citizen groups. During its 103 years of operation, the hatchery has produced eggs for rainbow, brown, cutthroat, brook trout, and dolly varten. Did you know the hatchery is currently rearing and breeding the endangered Wyoming toad? The Saratoga hatchery is the first federal hatchery in the nation to be assigned the task of amphibian reproduction. So the next time you're out exploring the nature of Wyoming in the Saratoga area, stop and visit the Saratoga National Fish Hatchery. From the University of Wyoming Extension, I'm Wendy Kelly.

of Fireside Chat, I'm Doug O'Keefe. I am the host and the producer of the chats, along with Mistress Joanne Gatti. The Fireside Chats are a program of the Leather Archives and Museum. Today, I'm interviewing Craig Menzies, who was Mr. Hong Kong Leather 2019. You're originally from South Africa. Whereabouts? I was born in Johannesburg and then lived most of my life in Pretoria. And tell us a little bit about growing up in South Africa. What was it like at that time? Well, I grew up in apartheid years. So we lived a very different life to what the world knew outside. Our life was pretty segregated and very controlled. So we really only knew what was happening in South Africa itself. There were sanctions. There was embargoes and everything. So it was quite a... We were a bit of an island, if you like. But it was a good life, a good life. And went to school in South Africa, went to really good schools, went to university in South Africa. And then in 1994, Mandela was released and we got our first democratic government. And then the new South Africa was born, which was great. Tell me about that experience. What happened as you saw it? It was an amazing experience. It really was. It was an experience of where everybody came together. Black, white, colored. And there was just a great sense of achievements and a great sense of new. Something new, something better will be achieved. And we had a lot of hope at that time. So it was really, really good. And having the first democratic election was good too. It was open to everybody. So it was just an amazing feeling.  Yes, absolutely, absolutely. I've been very lucky. I have had a very, very accepting family from the onset. I've only been to boys' schools, so I've known nothing else. So yeah, now I've been very lucky, very, very lucky.  It was limited, limited. We had a few bars, we had a few clubs, but that was really all South Africa catered for. There was nothing in terms of leather or king core or anything like that at that time. I'm talking sort of 25 years ago. So no, nothing like what was happening in the big wide world outside, which is why a lot of South Africans and Australians and Kiwis got on the boats and went off to the UK and experienced the big world. You were one of them? I was, I was one of them. I think just about every young South African puts a backpack on their back and travels over to the UK. We were very lucky, because being part of the Commonwealth, we would get a visa which would allow us to go and work there for a couple of years and then go and travel around. So I was very lucky. I actually didn't do that. I was transferred with my work to the UK, so I was okay. What work were you doing that took you there? I, so I'm in South Africa, I studied interior design and I was working on cinemas. I used to design cinemas and when the old East, when the Uncurtain came down and all these block countries started opening up, we went in and we put cinemas on top of the old shopping center blocks. So it was quite interesting. So they sent you to the UK to then go to Eastern Europe? That's right, our branch, well, my company that I worked for in Johannesburg had a branch in the UK and then most of the clients were actually in places like Poland, Czech Republic, Prague, that sort of place.  Well, that was a bit of a culture shock and a good culture shock if you like because everything was there.  Everything you wanted to experience was available in the UK from bars, from clubs, from shops, from saunas, everything was there. And the nice thing about the UK was it almost was, it catered for every single thing, every sort of like or dislike that you had. So that was good.  So I would say probably first experiences would be to go to places like Soho, Old Crompton Street, to see bars, multiple bars. So they've only had a few bars where here it would be like a whole area of bars, to go to the clubs, to basically be within a community, more of a community than what we ever had back home. A more accepting community, I suppose. What was your first concept on the kink or leather community? How did you even know that this existed? You always knew it existed. You just wanted to go and see what it was like. And I remember London was pretty strict. The hoist and the back streets and those sort of bars were very strict in terms of dress code. So you had to have something, you had to have some sort of leather wear that you could wear to go to those bars. And that was always a bit of a difficult hindrance. But eventually we got there. Going into Europe as well, which is a little less formal than what the UK was. I'd go to some bars and some leather clubs there. So I don't really know what my first experience was because there were so many experiences and they were all good. But I think just being in a community or in a bar where everyone shares the same ideas or interests. What values did you share? Well, you would learn honesty and trust and what you say you do, that sort of thing. And I think those are underlying rules which us as a community have. And I think when you are interested in more sort of extreme things or fetched things, you do have that. And you do have to learn to trust people and learn to value people's opinions. And that is how you join that community. Now, the first time that you experienced anything really kinky or anything very intriguing in a bar, what was that? Oh, I know. There was a chap, he was wearing some chaps and he had a pair of gloves just sort of stuck in his chaps and he was bent over the side of the bar and he was ready to be taken. And that was, oh wow, that actually happens. I was young and now it would be, okay, that's all right. Tell me a bit about the hoist as you knew it. Oh, it was a great place. It was an amazing place. You had arrived, they had a code check. So people would arrive pretty normally and they would have a code check where you'd strip off and put on all your gear and you'd go through like a double string doors and it would just be like a porn movie. Everybody was fully dressed, head to toe and it was just a good vibe, it was a great vibe. The hoist was in Voxel so it was built under the bridges underneath the arches of the railway tracks. So it was quite dark, quite dingy. You know, had a bit of a seedy feel to it, great bar. There was a raised area where people could stand up on and then there was a bit of a play space. During that time, I don't think that UK had any dark rooms or anything like that was illegal. So, you know, things just happened around where you were. How long did it take before you felt comfortable being able to participate in anything? Not long, not long at all. I don't want to hear. When, you know, when you sort of bought the membership card and you got the gear, then you seemed to feel quite fine and I think I met a lot of really, really good people. I learned a lot. I was taught things the right way. So I'm very fortunate about that and moved on from there and yeah, you try things and you enjoy things and that's how it is. Were you mentored? I was not mentored by, I was, yes, I was mentored. I was mentored by one or two specific people but it was more of a group of friends or people that I met. What were they? Which is very important, very important because I think passing on that knowledge is a great way for young people to experience things in a very comfortable way. And I think it's something which doesn't really happen so much now in our current lifestyles that we have. Which is sad, which is sad. At what point did you leave London to then eventually go to Hong Kong? I'd already traveled to the UK. This was my first venture into something new. My partner at the time wanted an experience or wanted a adventure. So looked around and found a job in Hong Kong and that's really what brought us here. It was something which happened really quickly. It wasn't planned, but it, it happened and it was good. Yeah. We've got chat was like, oh shit, now we're in Hong Kong. This is a bit weird. It's a completely different life than you would have known in London. Completely different life, completely different life. If you've ever been to Hong Kong, you know that it is just a concrete city with neon signs everywhere. And yeah, we've always described it as being on the set of Blade Runner and it really is like, it's manic, it's manic and we arrived and it was like, oh shit, what have we done? But you get into it, you meet people, you know, you start your work and it grows on you. It really does. How long have you been there? 17 years. Oh, a good long time. So a good long time, good long time. Time for a change.  That's an interesting question. That doesn't really exist. It does exist, but it is behind closed doors. We do have a couple of bars. We have a nightclub, but it's very vanilla. It's very, it's pretty normal stuff, if you like. There's no kink, there's nothing sort of on the fringe here. Asian people are very discreet, they're very private. They don't express themselves in certain ways. They do when they travel, which is the weird thing. But when they're back at home, they don't. So it's really just family time and going to the pub, going to a restaurant, that sort of thing. We did have a few more gay clubs many, many years ago, but they seem to all become more mainstream now. That had to be a bit of a rude awakening coming from what you were enjoying in the UK. It was indeed, it was a bit of a culture shock. And I bet you got used to it. You got used to it. Because our focus sort of changed more to our careers than it was to maybe our interests, if you like. But it was a new place and you take it on as you learn to live in a new place and you experience different things while you were here. So that was then. And then you get a little bit bored of doing that. And then you try and see what else is around you. But traveling around from Hong Kong is actually quite easy. Taiwan is close, Japan is close, Bangkok is close. And they have very different lifestyles there, which is of interest. I can't help but think that if you were accustomed to being able to go out and be with the kink folk or the leather crowd and suddenly not have that available basically at all to you, that had to be a very difficult transition. Moving to Hong Kong was a bit of a culture shock. It was also a, it was also like a, I would almost say a new beginning to experience different types of things. I was very fortunate that I could travel a lot. So I did get to go to Europe, the United States, those sort of places and almost get my fix from those places. What do the gay boys do in Hong Kong today if the bars you mentioned are no longer there?  You know, I think places have evolved so much with apps and with online things.  So unfortunately, a lot of the gay places were never as nice as the straight places.  Okay. Well, that was an interesting thing. So I've always had an interest in the sort of the leather lifestyle, the king glass style, that sort of thing. And I was looking around to see who else in the community has that. Now, the only places that you could do that would be on sort of on Recon or on Grindr or on, you know, any of the other apps like that. And there is quite a large community of people who have an interest. Now, I have to be very specific in what I mean have an interest that may mean they just have a harness. And that may be what they've sort of dabbled into. But then I dug a little bit further and I found that there were actually some guys here which were very much into that sort of lifestyle. So I started talking to them and started finding out if there was a way that we could sort of create a community if you like or social. Everybody was very on board with it, but the restriction was that it would never be a public thing. It could always be a private thing. So for instance, you know, people would meet at a hotel room, have a few drinks, get dressed up, and that would be it. And being Western and coming from what I'm known, that was just quite strange. So I thought that we could do something more than that. I mean, you didn't have to, okay, we sort of relaxed it, but you didn't have to get dressed up, the weather here is terrible anyway that you would never get dressed up. The idea was that we'd form a social and we would come together every, I don't know, maybe every couple of months and like people could be in a safe space or situation where they could learn from other people. You know, it's very difficult when the only information you have is the internet and the internet is not gonna give you the information that you can from real people. And you know, when just thinking about my experience when I went to the UK and I met people who showed me things and told me things and led me through a safe space, these guys don't have that yet. And I think it's very important that it is something that they need. And if somebody has an interest in anything, they should have a safe space where they could actually learn about it or speak to other people who have a very similar interest. And if you're not part of the online apps or those sort of communication tools, there is no other way. And I think that's really sad. I think that was a sad discovery and I wanted to try and almost bring people together to create that space that they could actually then meet people. And you know, not only hook up for sex or whatever, but you know, start making friends and start building a little bit of a community. How has that come along? It has not gone as well as I planned it to. What does that mean? Well, I was hoping that there would be a group which would meet more regularly and we could do things, we could organize events or functions or you know, we could get people who are interested in the community to join and you know, you can discuss experiences and that sort of thing. But it's mainly become a almost like a drinks night every couple of months where people get together and it's really just a group of friends. As a Western person, we cannot judge that because that's not our culture. You mentioned that you don't have a cookie cutter scene there, but at least there was something that enabled you to develop this title. Tell us about that. I thought it would be a good idea if we could create a community and almost show the world that we do exist. And maybe open the door to and just let everyone know that there is something happening here. And maybe idealistically, I thought that it would open up more of a community here and people would become more expressive and you know, enjoy themselves and inform a community. So what I did was I went along and I contacted everybody that I could that I found and spoke to them. And I had a very honest conversation asking them, this is what I want to do. This is how I want to approach it. Are they interested? Well, what did you want to do? How did you approach it? I approached it saying that, you know there are these events and there are these organizations, if you like, and there is other places around the world. And I think that if we, you know, develop something here we can be part of that. And that was basically my approach. You know, maybe do something more sort of international. And that's where the IML thing came on. But let's, before we get to IML tell me more about the development of the title there. In the traditional sense, there was no, there was no bar. There was no competition. There was no selection of people and there was no title as such. This was a creation from a community as a spokesperson. So, but what about internationally when people heard Hong Kong Leatherman wouldn't the concept of an Asian person come to mind? What did people have to say when they met you? Well, that was very interesting. And that was something that was a bit of a concern and a bit of a worry. But I did a fantastic job of marching the whole thing and, you know, I got out there. I put myself out there. I put a website together. You know, but there was a lot of conversations that were going on and, you know, when I arrived it was, oh, you're the guy from Hong Kong. And that was it. I never, I never ever had anybody who questioned why I wasn't Asian. Oh, okay. Which was very surprising. And anyway, I don't think that's important. I lived here for 17 years. Hong Kong is my home. I can represent it. Ideally, an Asian person should have been the first one or the first participant to go to IML from Asia. But... Now, what have you been able to do with this title? I think there's been more of an awareness that there is this sort of lifestyle presence in this part of the world. I haven't done as much as I could have done only because there was a language barrier. But there has been awareness created. And I think more people are getting out there and wanting to try things. What was your preparation for being able to go to IML? I did this all on my own back. I had to sort out all my travel, all my gear, my sash, everything. I needed to do that all myself. So I took on that whole thing by myself and basically put myself forward for that. So everything was done by me. I... Which was a great experience. I designed a logo. Created a brand. Got it registered. Created the title. And off I went. Tell me about IML for you. How was that experience? IML was a great experience. It is... I think it's a brilliant organization. The competition was fantastic. The contestants... It was quite weird. I did a photo shoot with a guy there before the competition. He said, I don't know what it is. There's something in the water. There's something that makes you drink, but you will feel it. You will feel this camaraderie. You will feel a bond with these guys. And it was very true. You do. My only criticism with the whole thing was that it was very US-centric. A little bit European. It's not international. And I think it needs to do more to become international. It doesn't represent an international levy scene. Tell me more about that. How does it not do that? Well, if you looked at the contestants, most of them were from the bars and clubs within the States. We did have them from Europe. One guy from Australia. And then myself from Asia. Quite a few guys from South America. But I think the proportion of local American to the rest of Europe or the rest of the world was disproportionate. But again, I mean, it's an American organization. It's a business. It wants to carry on and doing its function. But I don't truly believe it's an international representation. How do you feel that your local title and your IML experience changed you as a person? I don't think it's changed me as a person. I think it's given me, it's given me the confidence to live my truth. Now, how was the reception from your local community and your local group after IML? There hasn't been a, you know, an interest in order for somebody to follow on. I'm hoping that maybe in time that would happen. But like I say, I think the community has to evolve from what it is at the moment. Somebody needs to see value of doing that. And I think if we can create value, somebody will buy into that and they will then want to move it forward. Do you mean finding a successor for your title? Is that what you mean? Sure, absolutely. And I mean, I don't believe that the successor has to be in Hong Kong. Why can't it be an Asian guy? Somebody from anywhere in Asia. Okay. Well, I guess I would think if it's Mr. Hong Kong Leather, it would be somebody local, but who am I? It could be, but it could be, you know, why not, why not create something which is, you know, more, I mean, it could be from Spain, it could be from Taiwan, anywhere, but I happen to be in Hong Kong. Yes. What was your best, what was the best part of IML for you? The bond of the brotherhood. That was very special. It was something that I've never experienced before.  And that has continued through the stay.  And it's, like I say, there was, I don't know, something in the water, but it's, there's a real sense of pride and commitment and community. Given you had the COVID restrictions and whatever geographic restrictions, what would you like to have done, or do you still want to do as Mr. Hong Kong letter? I think if people get confident that they can actually step out of their comfort zones and know that there are other people with the same interests, that would be the ultimate goal. As I said before at the very beginning, I think if you're new to the scene and you don't know very much and you want to learn the best way to learn is from people who have experience and know what, you know, what they're doing. And I think if that can happen, that would be brilliant. Now, one thing I often like to ask is what is the biggest misconception about you? Okay, the biggest misconception about me is that I think as you age, you grow into your age and you take on a persona or personality which might not really be who you are. And, you know, when I'm all dressed up in all my gear from head to toe, I could be a very different person to who I am sitting right in front of you. And I think that probably is the most, is the misconception. What you look like and who you are may not be the same thing. Well, Craig Menzies, I thank you very much for a wonderful interview and for participating in Inside Leather History at Byerside Chat.

So for our first year, we'll easily be in the seven figures. I think by year two, we'll easily be in the eight figures and by year three, we'll definitely be in the nine if not more. Wow. Hi, how's everybody doing today? I'm your host Rich from Rich TV Live with our very special guest, Setti Coscrella, CEO of TAT Global Alternatives. How are you doing today, Setti? Awesome, Rich. Always happy to be here. Super excited to have you on the show today and a huge event happened this weekend. Floyd Mayweather versus Logan Paul and TAT was at the event. It was. And I heard through the grapevine that this was your idea. How did this go about? Well, listen, I get presented with a lot of opportunities. You know, now that we've kind of established a bit of a reputation and brand for ourselves, a lot of properties come to us and say, hey, would you be interested in maybe participating? And when this one came, I thought that it was a no brainer, right? I mean, it's probably the biggest fight of the year thus far. I knew that there were going to be a ton of eyeballs on it. And we just sort of went back and forth with the money team and put together a deal that I thought was, you know, the best interests of both parties.  Very accommodating. And I think they did a tremendous job in terms of helping to bring TAT to their audience. I mean, that ad that Floyd put up on his Instagram was viewed four million times. So he did an Instagram stories and an Instagram post four million times in less than 36 hours. Our Instagram following tripled overnight. And we had well over 10,000 new visitors to the site within, I don't know what it was, 24 hours or less. It was just an insane amount of traffic. A lot of people interested in the product, wanting to sample the product. And I think it really fits in with what our strategy is, right? I mean, when you have smokers, I think the best thing to do at first is just give them, give them the product, let them try it. And then we know that after they try it, they'll want to buy it. I mean, even here, I mean, I can tell you that, you know, for a couple of the people that have let sample the product, I'll get calls within three days. I mean, do you have any more? Do you have any some more? Don't worry, we'll be in Canada soon enough. But I mean, the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I'm very pleased with kind of how far we've come in a relatively short period of time. I mean, when we first spoke, what, less than a year ago, if I told you that I'd be sponsoring Floyd Mayweather's next fight, I don't think you would have believed me, right? Yeah, I still, I can't believe it. I mean, it was surreal. Like watching them walk down the aisle and they're wearing the hats. I'm like, this is crazy. How many people are going to see this? Floyd Mayweather holding up a carton of tat on his Instagram? Yeah. And doing multiple posts, like multiple posts. And I'm like, this is super cool. This is only going to be able to help enhance the brand, give you more visibility on a global scale. So I thought it was great. I thought it was a really smart outside the box idea. Congratulations on the success of that promotion. Thank you very much. And I think one of the other great things that comes from it is it opens us up to a lot of other sponsorship opportunities that'll be interesting for the brand. You know, when you sponsor an athlete and a celebrity, the caliber of Floyd Mayweather, that's a lot of other properties and celebrities know that we're serious. And on the back of that, we've started getting a lot of inbounds. I've gotten inbounds from Premier League teams in the UK. I've gotten inbounds from other boxing promotions, other fighters, mixed martial artists, NASCAR. I mean, it was literally a wealth of opportunity that's coming in now. So, you know, we're taking the time to kind of go through all of these things and see what makes sense. But I think it was a tremendous win for us. And again, I'd work with Floyd and his team any day of the week.  Yeah, he's definitely Floyd Mayweather. He knows how to make money. $100 million for the event. And he did okay. Yeah, he did okay. And Jake Paul did pretty good, too. $20 million to show up. Listen, man, I don't know how that guy made it through eight rounds with Floyd, but to his credit, he did it. Yeah, I think people have to give him a little more credit. This makes me think about the next fight. So, there's another fight coming. Jake Paul, his brother against Tyrone Woodley in August. Are you guys going to be looking to sponsor someone there? Well, they came after we sponsored this fight, so we'll take a look and see how that might materialize and what else.  That would be super cool. That would be super cool. Now, not only are you guys doing all kinds of outside-the-box thinking with the fight and the boxing, but you guys are also doing some advertising with the bull riders. Yep. Can you talk a little bit about that and how that's going? Because I think there's an event coming up. Yep, there's an event coming up in Vegas this weekend. Oh, perfect. So, I think that's really great. You know, that was another sort of event that earned another property that came to us through one of the relationships that I had. And I thought that it was a really interesting one for us to participate in. You know, coming from Philip Morris, I always knew that Cowboys did a pretty good job selling cigarettes. So, we decided to sponsor a whole army of them. It's like back-to-back events, weekend after weekend. So, we got a chance to see how you did that with Floyd. What exactly are you guys going to be doing at this event? How are you going to be getting in front of the audience? So, one of the things that we're looking at doing is obviously having some signage within the event. There's a tack-qualified ride. So, when the bull rider hits the requisite amount of time on the bull, then fog machines go off and it's a tack-qualified ride, which I think is pretty cool. Oh, wow. Yeah. And at all of the events where possible, we'll look to do sampling. So, many of these events will set up smoking sections, not within the venue but outside. And we want to be able to put people into those smoking sections so that when somebody goes out and has a cigarette, we can at least introduce them to the product and then the sample pack, they can try it and then give them all the information they need that if they like it. You know, here's where you can buy it. And whenever we've done that, we've found that it's an overwhelmingly successful campaign and smokers, once they're introduced to the product and tried, they really like it. So, it's a bit of a hand-to-hand combat kind of initiative, but I know it works. So, those are the kind of things that we look to engage with. You guys have had so much success. It's only been a year. I keep reminding myself, it was a year ago, almost to the day that TAP and Rich TV Live became this marriage. And since then, over the last year, TAP's been a huge success. It's been like one of our favorite stocks for our community. So many members love TAP. When I went live before this interview today and I was asking questions, people were just flooding me with questions and flooding me with questions. And one of the questions is about the NASDAQ. Why the NASDAQ? I know you guys announced that you want to get on the NASDAQ. Why did you choose the NASDAQ? Well, I think it makes a lot of sense for us. I can tell you that the process is going well so far. I mean, it's been pretty smooth sailing like we've been going back and forth. Obviously, they're going to have certain questions. We're putting together all the answers and it's pretty standard stuff. So, no real bumps in the road. And hopefully, it kind of continues that way and sort of see smooth sailing ahead. You know, when I think about the NASDAQ, I remember, because I watched a couple of your videos, right? Yeah. I'll watch them after. And then I'll go into the comments section sometimes just to see what people say. And oftentimes, you get people that come in and say, oh, I can't find that on Robinhood. I can't find that on Robinhood. And then your credit, you're always first one in. You know, try TD Ameritrade. Try this brokerage. Try this brokerage. Now, you know, it's challenging for somebody to go open up a brand new brokerage just to trade one stock when they can otherwise trade whatever they want on Robinhood. So, I think moving it over to the NASDAQ will definitely open it up to that pool of investors. So now, once you get out to the NASDAQ, all those people that are on Robinhood that have heard about it, that want to buy it, will have a much easier time being able to buy it. And you can kind of take a look in the market now and see what happens when that happens.  That's right. AEMD was up like over 400% at one point. Right. What were they trading at yesterday? A few bucks, and they were over $10. One day. That's right. Right. That's the power of what going to the NASDAQ can do. Mine meant it was the same thing. That's right. Right. The second they announced, I think they got 100% pop. Oh, yeah. And within three days, the first day of trading was 61 million shares. So, I mean, there's no secret. If you can get onto that premium exchange, it just opens you up to a whole new world of potential investors. And I think that this story sells extraordinarily well to this audience, right? I mean, the business that we're building, the market that we're going after, the blue sky that we're chasing is just extraordinary. And when you can open it up to that mass of people that at least have the ability to go in, do some due diligence and, you know, if they like what they see, they can go in and buy it easily. It's a brainer. Right. Yeah, it's exciting to see everything evolving. And let's talk about that. So, you guys have started off in Ohio. What's next? Well, one of the things that we're looking to do now is expand our own in-house sales team to kind of work alongside Crossmark. Kind of put some dedicated people on the ground. So, we're building the team internally as well. I think we'll be expanding a lot more into Ohio. But in addition to that, we started hiring sales reps in Illinois. We've got some distributors now going in Georgia. Obviously, we're going to be expanding out through Nevada. And I think you saw that we had a press release where we got our first distributor in the UK and Ireland. So, now we're in the process of fulfilling that order. What we had to do over there is amend the packaging of it because the UK has different packaging requirements than the US. So, we had to kind of do a bit of a redesign on the pack, make sure that we had everything in place. And we're just in the process of fulfilling the first order. And, you know, before this ever came to be, we sent them sample product because the distributors wanted to see it, taste it, smell it, you know, try it. And they sent it out to buyers. They sent it out to consumers. And within a week, they were banging down our door saying, how much can you send us? That's great. Yeah. And on the back of that deal, we're now starting to talk to almost every other country in Europe. We've probably got about 10 to 12 countries lined up ready to go. So, you know, as we start getting our feet underneath us in Europe or in the UK, I think the rest of Europe is very short to follow. So, it's been way faster than I thought it was going to be. But, I mean, the demand for a product like this, after we've sent samples and after they sent it out to stores and after those stores have sort of tested it with consumers that they're coming back and saying, how fast can you get us this product? It's just insane. It's been quite surreal. It's almost like you guys timing to market couldn't be more perfect. You go to market with a product that has no tobacco, no nicotine, and then months later, Biden says he's got a mandate to reduce nicotine levels in cigarettes. Yeah. What does that mean for TAP? What does that mean? Like, that is just huge, right? Listen, I think it's an enormous opportunity for us because if that happens, that you reduce the nicotine concentration in cigarettes doesn't mean that people are going to quit smoking. That's right. Okay, what you've effectively done is put people in a worse state of withdrawal.  So, if that were to happen, and I think eventually it will, they're going to look for viable alternatives. And if you put nicotine caps on cigarettes, you can rest assured they're going to put nicotine caps on vapes. Right? We're not going to do one without the other. Of course. Because they're already looking at marrying these two things. That's why the vapes now have to go through the same process that cigarettes have to go through in order to get approved to be sold in the U.S. Okay? So, if that he does that, I think it just creates an enormous opportunity for TAP because we can satiate that nicotine withdrawal in a way that a low nicotine cigarette has no ability to do whatsoever. Absolutely. Makes so much sense. So, I think that, you know, when smokers are presented with that kind of an option, and they have the ability to try TAP and get sort of the satiation and satisfaction they're otherwise looking for, that they're never going to be able to get a cigarette anymore. At a price point that's going to be cheaper than any of these cigarettes, what are you going to choose? I just feel like at that point in time, maybe it's already happening, you're going to have Philip Morris knocking on your door, you're going to have Altria knocking on your door, saying, guys, we need you now more than ever. Well, I can't tell you how many people, you know, some of my former colleagues from Philip Morris called me after they saw that sponsorship, and were like, how the hell did you do that? Because we can't do that. I'm like, I know you can't do that, but I can, and I did. That's awesome. So, the online sales, how has that been so far? Because I think the online sales are good. I mean, but the online portal for me really is an exercise in a pack and hand, right? It's a way for consumers to try the product where we can collect a lot of the information and then turn those potential consumers into actual consumers, right? It's challenging to kind of tell somebody buy this product. I mean, how many e-commerce sites are available now? Millions. Yeah, I mean, did you buy from all of them? No, I can't. Right? But you should, I'll tell you, go buy it. It doesn't work that way. So, you have to put together this thing called consumer journey where you want people initiated into the brand, you want them understanding what the product is, you want them trying the product, and then for the ones that like it, then you give them an easy way to go and buy it. So, I think for the e-commerce strategy, that's really the area that I want to be able to focus on, to build that database of potential consumers and then convert them into actual consumers. Also, I think that if you think about how a smoker operates, if I want to pack a cigarette, I don't want to wait three days for it because I can walk 30 seconds in any direction and buy a pack of cigarettes. Of course. Right? So, I think the e-com is a great way to introduce the brand to potentially new consumers, and what that also does is it helps us figure out where to go to next. Because if you see a lot of grounds while coming in from particular areas, go in and start putting it in store because, I think, for tobacco or tobacco-like products like what that is, the brick and mortar is never going to go away. That's going to be the primary channel and that's where you're going to want to sort of make sure that you have the product. And I think when you kind of work these two strategies together, it really helps kind of create a very quick acceleration for the product. When you think about Juul, right, when Juul was first commercializing, they literally had people walking up and down the street handing out starter packs of free. Right? Anybody that would take it, they would give it to them. So, that's one of the things that we're also looking at building out and the digital strategy helps accelerate that as well because if you don't see somebody handing it out on the street, you can always go online, register for a free pack, and we'll send it to you. And then, if you like it, you know, give us your feedback and by all means, you can always come in and buy it there. So, I think overall it's been tremendous. So, we're obviously in Canada. And Canadians are loving TAT, but we don't got it in Canada yet. Not yet. Any updates on when we could potentially expect TAT in Canada? So, in Canada, TAT would still be regulated under the Cannabis Act. So, with the partnership we did with CLC, we're actually working with Health Canada now, going back and forth to make sure that, you know, we're compliant with the laws and that we'd be able to sell TAT in the country. So, I think hopefully we'll have some updates there soon. Great. Now, one of the key catalysts for any company that's publicly traded is revenue growth. Can you talk a little bit about the sales that are coming yet? I know you can't say exact numbers, but can we anticipate some numbers soon from TAT? Look, I think if I were to look at it from an annual standpoint, I'd say sort of for a first year, we'll easily be in the seven figures. I think by year two, we'll easily be in the eight figures. And by year three, we'll definitely be in the nine if not more. Wow, seven, eight, nine. Okay, I love that. Okay, so... Because as you start getting your feet underneath you in the beginning, right? I mean, there's a bit of trial and error. You're going to try a couple of things. Some things are going to work, some things are not going to work. It helps you build out your business model because there's no ubiquitous business model that works for everything, right? Even coming from tobacco, there's certain things that work in tobacco that you have to do a little differently, like sponsoring Floyd Mayweather, right? You wouldn't do that in tobacco, but we can and we did. So, I mean, you do a couple of these things and you really figure out the pieces that work well. Obviously, it takes a bit of time in the beginning to build out the human capital infrastructure and hiring the right people and bringing the right people on board. And then once you have that in place, scaling happens very quickly. So, we're at the point now where we're starting to build out a lot of the infrastructure to support sales throughout the U.S. And obviously, you know, build out infrastructure to start supporting the incoming sales that are going to be happening in Europe, right? It's a big operation. And as those things start to come, I think that they just keep snowballing and snowballing and snowballing and snowballing, you know? Again, I kind of take a look at the quick math. 100,000 smokers would be about $100 million in revenue. Okay? Okay. There's 35 million smokers in America. If I can't find 100,000 smokers in a pool of 35 million in America. Shouldn't be in the business. No. But then, on top of that, now I'm going to have Europe as well. So, can I find 100,000 smokers between the U.S. and Europe? Yes. Absolutely. And I'm giving myself two to three years to do that? I think we could probably do it a little sooner, but, you know, a little. And you're going to be 50% of the price of all the competitors. Seems like a win-win situation. Yeah. So, let's say you're a shareholder and we've got shareholders that watch Rich TV Live and the Love Tat literally all over the world, a lot in Europe. What do they have to look forward to over the next six months here in 2021? Well, I think we'll definitely be looking at establishing that total position in Europe and then expanding more so throughout the continent. We'll obviously be adding a lot more states within the U.S. as we build out a very robust sales infrastructure. Alongside Cross Market just kind of helps work symbiotically to get this thing rolling very, very quickly. And I'm hopeful that, you know, assuming it all goes well, it will definitely be on the NASDAQ too. So, I think we've got a very exciting next couple of quarters ahead of us. So, one of the questions that I've been getting is, where is Tat going to be in five years? Can you, do you have a crystal ball? Can you say, okay, you know what? This is year one. Four years from now. What does Tat look like? Well, I definitely think we're in multiple countries. I think within four years we're easily through North America, probably getting into South America, definitely across all of Europe, establishing appropriate totals within Asia, and then looking into Africa and Australia. You know, obviously wherever the product is, otherwise legal and have the ability to sell, I think within five years we're going to pretty much be everywhere. Wow.  Yeah. That's exciting. That's exciting. If there was one thing you want the shareholders that are watching, maybe someone that's thinking about finding the stock, maybe someone's current existing shareholder to know, what would it be? I think that we're still very early on in our growth. I think we've come an extraordinarily long way in a very short period of time, but there is a mountain in front of us that we're all able to climb. And I think that, you know, within a very short period of time will be significantly bigger than we are now. Well, I'm excited. We've been here for a year sharing the journey, telling your story. And it's been an incredible one. You were one of the first big hires in the company. And everywhere I go, everyone says, we're so impressed with SETI. We're so impressed with SETI.
