Good afternoon, good evening, and welcome to everyone who is joining us for this anniversary event on Facebook Live. My name is Susan Stigant and I'm the Director of Africa Programs at the United States Institute of Peace. I am delighted to welcome you to today's event to commemorate the 21st anniversary of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 for Women, Peace and Security. Today we are so pleased to co-host this important event with the U.S. Department of State Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues. We will reflect on lessons learned since the passing of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, and we are grateful for the partnership of the Office of Global Women's Issues today and in our ongoing work. Today's program is focused on hearing the experience, expertise, and insights of tremendous women who are so active in bringing the Security Council Resolution to life. For those joining us online, we invite you to be part of the conversation on Twitter with the hashtag WPS in action. So now I am delighted to introduce Kat Fodovat, Senior Official for the State Department Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues. Kat will moderate today's fireside chat. As the Senior Official in the Office of Global Women's Issues, Ms. Fodovat leads a team of gender experts promoting gender equality efforts, including support of women, peace and security, countering violent extremism, promoting women's economic empowerment, and combating gender-based violence. Kat, thank you again for the partnership and over to you for today's event. Thank you so much, Susan, for that kind introduction. As Susan said, my name is Kat Fodovat, and I am the Senior Official in the Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues at the U.S. Department of State.  Hello, and to all those who will be watching this recording later. I want to share my thanks to Susan and our partners at the U.S. Institute of Peace for co-hosting this event today. We are so very excited to have this important discussion on the heels of the 21st anniversary of the U.N. Security Council Resolution 1325. My office has the mandate to integrate a gender lens across the formulation and conduct of U.S. foreign policy. This means we work closely across the Department to empower women and girls through U.S. diplomacy, partnerships, and programs. Women, Peace, and Security are one of the administration's top priorities. So what is WPS? In short, Women, Peace, and Security, or WPS, focuses on the safe and meaningful participation of women in all aspects of conflict prevention, resolution, and post-conflict recovery by empowering them to lead, equipping them with the necessary skills to succeed, and providing them with safe access to opportunities, decision-making fora, and resources. We know the devastating disproportionate impact of conflict and disaster on women and girls.  Despite this, women remain critically underrepresented in efforts to prevent and resolve conflict and impose conflict peacebuilding and recovery efforts. The United States passed the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017, making it the first country in the world with comprehensive legislation addressing these issues. The corresponding U.S. strategy on WPS released in 2019 is a whole-of-government approach to addressing WPS. And subsequently, the Departments of State, Defense, and Homeland Security, as well as USAID, launched respective WPS implementation plans. There have also been a few exciting WPS developments I want to highlight here. Back in July, the United States joined UN Women's WPS Humanitarian Action Compact. This compact aims to bring together the global, regional, national, and local efforts to advance the WPS agenda and move the conversation forward. At the end of October, the White House released the United States first-ever national strategy on gender equity and equality. The gender strategy, as we call it, underscores the U.S. government's commitment to advancing the rights and opportunities of women and girls, LGBTQI plus persons in all their diversity, both in the United States and around the world. It's cementing our long-standing belief that gender equity and equality are both immoral and strategic imperative. You can find a copy of the strategy on the White House website. Now, I want to turn to our honored guest, who I'm also huge fans of, Ambassador Nancy Soderberg, M. R. H. Rayori, who are true WPS champions to reflect on this topic. Ambassador Soderberg has over 30 years of experience in foreign policy, serving on four presidential campaigns in the United States Senate, in the White House, and in the United Nations. In 1997, President Clinton appointed her to serve as the alternate representative to the United Nations as a presidential appointee with the rank of ambassador, a position she held during the passage of the UN Security Council Resolution 1325 in the year 2000. And that is where I would like to start the discussion. Ambassador Soderberg, you have had firsthand experience on historical moment and had a front-row seat in the lead up to the adoption of UNSCR 1325. Could you share a little bit about your reflections from that process and experience? I think you're muted. Sorry, Ambassador Soderberg. There you go. I think you're still muted. Apologies. Okay. I think I'm unmuted now. So first of all, thank you so much to the State Department, USIP, for putting together this wonderful event, Katrina Fotovat, with your work in the Office of Global Women's Issue doing such important work, and Susan, your work, both with NDIN with the US Institute of Peace. Marie, it's a great pleasure to share this event with you. We look forward to a really wonderful discussion. I remember well the lead up to the adoption of 1325. I was the alternate rep, and we were in many, many meetings up until the passage of it. The women's groups were unbelievable in supporting it and demanding it. And eventually, all the men around the table decided to go around it. And I remember giving our speeches as it was being adopted. And looking at the only other woman on the table was the perm rep from Jamaica. But looking at, you know, there are all these men, after men, after men giving speech of the need to put women at the table. And it was an honor to raise my hand in voting for the passage of 1325. We've come a long way since then, but there are still far from parity for women at the table, both in legislatures around the world and peacekeeping missions at peace making tables. And we know that when women are at the table, the solutions are just better. So we need, progress has been made, but we are very far from parity. And equality means 50%, not 5%, not 10%, not 15%. Thank you, Ambassador Soderbergh. I want to get a little bit more into that. What was the hope, the long-term goal when the UN Security Council passed 1325? And do you feel we have reached that vision? It clearly needs a lot more work, but just wanted to get your feedback on that. Well, in 2000, the, I think, world looked back at all the problems of the decades of the 90s, the wars in Haiti and Bosnia and Rwanda. And we were looking at whether or not to establish the responsibility to protect. What could we do? And it was very clear that without gender equality, you're not going to have peace. And what all of the study shows are that our challenges simply cannot be solved without taking women into account or without women at the table crafting solutions. Women are key to coming to solutions that last longer, to making sure that solutions involve those most vulnerable. And by taking women into account, we get better results. That goes for not just conflicts, but also slowing down climate change, managing globalization, addressing poverty, and even combating the causes of terrorism. I've seen this around the world in my work with reaching peace in Northern Ireland. It was the women who saw the possibilities for peace. I'm now working in Kosovo, and there's great strides in trying to have women at the table in negotiating peace and lasting solutions and to have more representation in government. But we know the solutions, but we don't have the will to make sure that women have equality. And I think the importance of this panel and all the people watching is to recommit ourselves to do that and demand action from those in power to make sure that they put women at the table. So how would you rate the progress on the implementation of 1325? I mean, it's been 25, 21 years since after the passage. And how would you really rate the progress? Not great. I think if you see, we're two decades after 1325, the UN's own studies find that the few actors have fully implemented the commitments. There's no hard timetables. We have an increasingly militarized peace and security agenda that fails to uphold women's human rights, economic and social rights. The UN has criticized the $2 trillion in military expenditures, which have nearly doubled in the last 25 years, and calls for shifting some of that into a gender equality and women's empowerment. The UN own target to airmark 50% of all peace building funds to gender equality is not been met. Only 2% of the fragile states target gender equality as a principal objective. Only 5% of the military personnel on UN peacekeeping missions are women. And just the statistics go on and on and on. 23% of UN negotiated brokered peace negotiations have women negotiators. Women are still less than 20% of parliamentary seats. And on top of that, COVID has made it much harder. Women are still the subject of violence both in home and out. We see that dramatically increase during the pandemic. We've seen women, the first to lose their job, taking on more of the household chores. Women are bearing the brunt of the pandemic. So I'm hoping that as we emerge from this pandemic, people recognize that women bear the brunt of conflict. They're also the solution to conflict and recommit ourselves to finally achieving gender equality. At the current weight we're doing, it's going to be 100 to 150 years before we have equality as heads of state up till 27, these seven that we have equality in parliament. We can't wait any longer. Let's use these anniversaries to hold our governments accountable and say, where are the women? I couldn't agree more. I think this is a perfect opportunity to use this anniversary to make sure that we are making some progress. So where do you think we go from here? What are some of the key lessons we still need to learn in order to make progress on women, peace and security for the next 20 years? Well, as I mentioned earlier, I'm working here in Kosovo, which is the second newest country behind South Sudan. And what we see is the women, peace and security, they have to be expanded beyond security institutions, narrow definitions of peace to the broader concept that women hold. It's got to be a framework that people understand the linkages between education, health, justice, and all people's security from all types of violence, structural, gender-based, race-based. And in Kosovo, what we're seeing is three important avenues that I think work and people could emulate around the world. We're preparing more women for elected office so they can get to that table, breaking the barriers to power for all women, regardless of their age, to sit at the table. You can't count on, we need to break down the barriers that are objecting to women being at the table. It's not just gender, but it's also age, class, and ethnicity. And lastly, we can't do this without the men. We need to engage men allies so that they understand that they will succeed better if women are at the table. And I think those lessons can be applied with New Vigor across all of these countries that are listening today. Well, what do you think the United States role should be? Just given your past experience and certainly in the countries that you've been working on most recently, what do you see the role for the United States in promoting WPS? Well, I remember very distinctly when Hillary Clinton went to Beijing. I was at the White House at the time and kind of established a very powerful call for women to have an equal role in society. And I think the U.S. simply has to lead. We are still a superpower. We're not all powerful, but when the U.S. takes a stand and leads other countries, it makes it easier for them to follow us. So I think our leadership at the U.N. has been important, but I think we need to empower offices like yours, Susan, empower our Secretary of State to make sure that everything we do has a gender lens. Climate change are the women at the table. Peace negotiations are the women at the table. I think President Biden has made a strong commitment to appoint women to strong positions in his government. And we need to hold all of our governments accountable. Man panels where there's no women on the table, no U.S. official or any official should be part of. There's a gender lens to everything. And I think the U.S. could help lead that conversation and drive that agenda. And very much through Susan, your office work through institutions like the U.S. IP, my own organization, the National Democratic Institute, it's important to make sure that everything goes through a gender lens. And again, I'll just reiterate it's the importance for men to also be our strong allies. Thank you so much, Ambassador Soderbergh, for that enlightening discussion on women, peace and security and the U.N. Council Resolution 1325. And your hands-on experience is just being there.  And now living too. Thank you. Civil Society plays a central role in the WPS agenda and in advocating for local ownership of decision-making processes as well as contextually appropriate solutions to peace and security. In other words, no conversation about WPS is complete without the inclusion of civil society. With that in mind, I'm very excited to welcome Mari Traori. My office has the pleasure of working with Mari through our women preventing violent extremism program with U.S. IP. And I'm delighted to have her join for this discussion. Mari comes to U.S. IP with 20 years of professional experience, providing technical and policy support to organizations such as International Rescue Committee, Oxfam, and Planetary National. Mari is committed to promoting local development and seeking sustainable, convincing solutions to improve the living conditions of grassroots communities. Mari, it is a pleasure to have you here today. I want to talk to you about your work in Mali. A key element to women, peace, and security is localization. The idea that larger peace and conflict mediation effort should be informed by local perspectives. How can the women, peace, and security agenda sufficiently incorporate local perspectives? Okay. All right. Thank you very much. Very much for that question. I am Mari Traori. I'm the program officer for WPB in Mali. I'm very humbled to be here with you today to talk about the resolution 1325 of the United Nations. Well, from my experience, I think that the integration of local aspects in the resolution 1325 is very important. We need to ensure that there's an ownership of the action plan at the grassroots level. Because, well, from what I have observed in these communities, the communities in the local areas are not well informed of the implementation process of the action plan of the resolution 1325. That's on one hand. On the other hand, we need to ensure that we can truly transition, taking into account the aspirations of those at the grassroots level. Because everyone agrees unanimously that resolution 1325 is for women, to ensure that women can fully participate in conflict resolution and peace building. If this is to be true, we know very well that in our current context, and this is me referring to my country, we are in a situation where the country is considered as a hot spot of humanitarian, political, and social crisis. So conflicts continue in such a way that these weakens the capacity for women to act. And if we do not involve them at the local communities, and it is most these grassroots communities that are affected when it comes to conflict. When we talk about the violations, it's at the grassroots level that this is really heightened. And then these then grows from the grassroots level to the regional and international level. Now, for us to have a proper integration of this local aspect, these women need to take ownership, not women and men, because you see generally we work together. They need to take ownership of the action plan, and they need to understand what they're supposed to do with it. And for us to have this support mechanism, we just we cannot just make the documents available to them. No, we need to do the capacity and support them so that they can truly understand the context of the resolution. That's on one hand. Then we need to really show them how to implement the activities of the action plan of the resolution, because it is with them that they would be then be able to understand what their problems are, and then find a way to be able to link this to the local problems and then know how to act in conflict areas and also regarding peace building. And generally, these women are not really involved in the process. We need to get them involved. We need to build their capacities, we need to support them. And we also need to ensure that when we refer to the four pillars of the resolution, which is prevention, help, we need to really develop actions in line with this because you see in a conflict situation, it is not easy for the women or the local community to act and obtain results in line with the actions of the resolution 1325. This is where we then need to design actions, activities that would help these women to be able to act in order to achieve the desired results. We also need to reassure these women. We need to ensure that they are safe. We need to guarantee their safety so that they can really work in a collegial manner with proper coordination in order to implement concrete actions that would really help their action plan of the 1325 resolution to achieve these results. Another thing is we need to bring these women together in networks and ensure that they can communicate because they are at a certain point where they do not have enough information through some media. But if we can set up a collaboration framework, this would help them to get much more information and it would create a communication space, a space for training and a space for capacity building. Such networks are very important for these women to take ownership of information in relation to the 1325 resolution and in order to be able to act. So, I'm not sure this is what needs to be done regarding the grassroots level so that we can truly help these women. There are some fantastic examples that I can share with you from Mali regarding the implementation of the USIP project in Mali. We are working in a situation where we try to start from the bottom level and then move up. We started with a bottom-top approach and not a top-to-bottom approach. We started from the bottom to probably understand what goes on at the grassroots level, inform the women of the situation, piece building and then also support them and find out how they can truly act in order to get their voices heard regionally or internationally. This work was done and we carried out a lot of capacity building training. We carried out a lot of community dialogues and national dialogues and you see the national dialogues were truly an opportunity for us to see that these women have the capacity and the necessary expertise to get involved, to participate actively in the implementation of the resolution. So, this is the outline that I have tried to describe. Because you see, these women have been able to carry out a national dialogue following the experience that they got at the grassroots level. So, can you then imagine how the transition was done from a bottom to the top level? They made fantastic presentations. They were able to identify the problems that they faced on the field and they were able to communicate this. They were also able to define an action plan and send it to partners. It was very fantastic because we did not really expect the women at the local level, grassroots level to properly communicate their aspirations regarding a crisis context. So, you see, we always need to start from the grassroots level for the resolution to really have sustainable results. So, this, and I'm not sure is what I have to say regarding the integration of local perspectives in the implementation of the action plan. Thank you. Thank you, Mari. In your current work as a trainer and project manager in Mali, you focus on several areas, including women's leadership. And despite years of focus on women's participation in leadership, we still see women shut out of important discussions and meetings related to security conflict and reconciliation. How do you think we should overcome that barrier? And what is missing from the international community's efforts when promoting women's meaningful participation? See, regarding this point, we need to understand that different countries have different situations, different contexts. And if I'm supposed to take Mali's situation as an example, you see, for women to truly be in this, for women to truly be involved, we need to develop initiatives that will help them to get involved. You see, there are obstacles, there are social cultural obstacles. And so, this is a very delicate aspect, particularly in the African context. And so, we need to be able to distinguish these different areas and regions. I know that, yes, there are member states that are working to providing support to the action plan of the resolution. But as Nancy said, you see, we have not made a lot of progress, because this is due to a lot of issues, yes, social cultural barriers. Mari, did we lose you? I think we'll give her one minute. I think she might be gone for a little while. It's more that our internet might be unstable. Okay. Ambassador Zahra, can we turn back to you then? Of course, of course. I'd like to talk to you a bit more about just some of your insightful recommendations as we getting back into the localization discussion. What are some best practices that you have seen? Certainly, either from the Kosovo experience or Northern Ireland, I know that a lot of the getting the women's voices into the conversation is so impactful and so vital. I don't know if you have any suggestions or best practices that you would like to discuss. I've seen it. I've been working in peace and conflict for many decades now and time and time and time and time again, whether it's peace processes or government, when women are at the table, you just get better outcomes. It's not that one or better than the other, but women just bring a different perspective. They know firsthand the challenges of violence are the ones who live with the families that are affected by that, by economic downturns and obviously war and peace. But also, the pandemic shows it all. They're the ones who are bearing the brunt of this. If you look at all of the studies around the world, just one that I happen to know from the UN, that when women are at the peace table, their participation increases the probability of a peace agreement lasting at least two years by 20% and 35% over 15 years. Higher levels of gender equality mean that you're less likely to have a society resort back to violence. Here in Kosovo, the women are driving change. 61% of the women are the ones who voted for a major change in government here in Kosovo. They're standing up to fight corruption. Patriarchy. Kosovo is a small country. It's had two women presidents. It's got two women prime ministers, six ministers, and women are beginning to get elected here without the quota. Quotas around the world to make sure that at least 30, ideally 50% of women come out of elections can make a huge difference as well. And I think we've seen this here that if you empower women, you get longer and lasting changes. We're very proud of what we call the Pristina principles. Pristina is the capital of Kosovo and former president Yayaga convened in 2012 a sort of guidelines and principles to try and eliminate women's barriers at full political and economic participation. I would commend that to everyone on this end to take a look at that. And what you see is that women can't do it on their own. As I said before, you need men to bring them into the participation at political parties. You need men to bring them into their networks. Women tend to be marginalized from the power structure. And what you need is to make sure that you have it driven from the top and also the bottom up. Women know what they want. And so empowering that kind of bottom up and top down approach to address the barriers that keep women from participating fully in public life, from being heard, from leading, being organized in activists, municipal leaders, all the way up to the highest level of the government. And so we at NDI have a program to accelerate the pace of change in joining the UN's effort to do that, to try and end gender discrimination by 2030. That sounds like a long time away, but it's a very ambitious goal. And I would encourage all of those of you on the Zoom to look at your own societies and see where you can plug in and make a difference. Women activists reach out and get some men to recognize that this is an important gender. If you're in power, offer to mentor young women who don't think that they can play on that league. And that person-to-person participation can certainly have an importance. You see this across the Balkans, but also across Africa, Latin America. And even in the United States, at local levels, it's as important as at the national level. I think to your point about the inclusion of men, we've seen time and time again where there is conflict and during the midst of a conflict, they talk about deferring gender issues till after we have security and after security is stabilized. And you brought up some of the points about effectiveness and making sure that women are at the table because peace negotiations and peace treaties last longer. What in your opinion has been one of the discussions or points that has really kind of helped motivate it and incentivize to make sure that women were brought to the table? And how do we motivate a lot of the men in those power positions to make sure that's included? There has to be a recognition that there's a problem and that the current system and cycle that ends up resorting to one conflict after another, that cycle needs to be broken. I think most dramatically I saw it in Northern Ireland when President Clinton was determined to try and make peace process. We ended up and Hillary Clinton then as first later and later as Secretary of State certainly saw this firsthand. It's what you see all across the world. The women saw the possibilities for peace before the men did and certainly before the political leaders did. And it's because they bore the vast majority of the front of it. They're the ones who dealt with families that were in crisis. So their men were in prison. The men were in prison and of course many who lost their lives in that conflict. Two or three hundred people a year were dying. I don't really think about that today but at the beginning of it, it was the women who demanded peace, who began the people to people cross community discussions that made people realize that peace was possible. So women bear the brunt but also see the possibilities for peace. And if you look at what's happening in the world today, I was reading in some articles about the tragedy that's unfolding in Ethiopia today. It's all the men that are out there just forging this conflict and the women who are bearing the brunt time and time again, same in Yemen. And I think what can galvanize a change is outside intervention that lets women know that they're heard and encouraging those men at the table that they will only succeed if they put women at the table. And it's not a quick fix. It can take a time's generation but then in other times it can happen very quickly. So I think giving young women the hope from abroad or even within their own society with more powerful women that their voice can be heard and they too deserve a seat at the table, no one's going to give it to them. They have to push for it. And outside forces can help them get there but without that drive from the bottom up and top down and changes very, very hard. Well, I want to thank you, Ambassador Sotoberg, for just your inspiration, your continued leadership and activism, just being a champion on women, peace and security. Do you have any final thoughts that you would like to share with the audience today? Well, I want to commend Marie for the hard work she's doing out in Mali. I'm sorry that we lost the second half of her comments but we had a chance to speak a little bit before this program and I'm just so impressed with everything that she has done. And I just want to thank the USAP for the very important work that you do. And of course, Susan, your office at the State Department, the commitment from the US to doing this really makes a huge difference. And I'm honored to be part of this program and to just remind the audience of the possibilities for peace when women are at the table. I was like the quote by John F. Kennedy that said, you know, some women, that's a different quote. Let me come back to the, basically, I was about to say that George Bernard Shaw quote that some men see things as they are and ask why others ask why not. So I'm always with the figure out what's possible is a strong message to women. But the John F. Kennedy quote that I was thinking of that he always said that our problems are made by men and they can be solved by men. And I think today we recognize that they cannot be solved by men alone and that women have to be at the table. And when you put women at the table, things get solved faster and better. And the solutions are stronger. We see it in any country where women are more fully represented at the solutions are better and economies thrive. So thank you for pulling together such an impressive event and appreciate all those who are tuning in around the world. And let's use this anniversary not just once a year, but every day, look at the problems through a gender lens and say where are the women and you will find very rapidly that the solutions come faster and last longer. And on anything that we're talking about there must be a gender lens. So that would be my parting word is make sure that you're always looking at everything through a lens of are both parts of society fully represented. And it's not just men and women as I mentioned before, it's minority LGBTI and has to have an inclusive society to get a full solution. And thank you so much for the opportunity to join. Thank you, Ambassador Soderbergh. And I do believe, Mari, did you get back on? No? Okay, I'm so sorry that we didn't have Mari join again. But thank you both. We really appreciate again your leadership, your inspiration, and your continued work. Thanks again to our partners at USIP for their support for today's event. If anyone is looking for more information on the United States efforts on women's peace and security, I will point you again to our first ever WPS report released in June. You can find this on the State Department website. You can also follow SGUI, my office on Facebook and Twitter at StateGUI to receive updates on my office's work. And you can follow hashtag WPS in action to learn more about WPS. Again, many, many thanks. It's been such an honor Ambassador Soderbergh. Mari, we hope to get to see you again soon. And thank you to everyone in the Facebook world. Thank you so much. Take care.


Remember the Titans? Eric Dacosta remembers the Titans, and Pepperidge Farm sure remembers the Titans. In that Titans game, again, the Titans were the blueprint for everything that the Ravens have been doing this offseason. Titans were the blueprint for that, and what the Titans were able to do to the Ravens, especially with the Titans offense, it was a big yikes. What Ravens did not have in that Titans game? Shore Tackling. See, this is one of the reasons why I love y'all so much, and I really appreciate everything that you do, everything that you all do to help me, and when y'all put me on. Because like I said, this offseason, I had really wanted to dive into a lot of these college prospects, but I just didn't have the time to. So, what happened? We had a lot of questions from subscribers on some different college prospects, and one name that I just kept hearing about so much. So much was Malik Harrison. Man, so many people was asking about this guy. Malik Harrison, Malik Harrison, Malik Harrison. And then I looked him up, I said, ooh. I said, ooh. And again, what we didn't have in the Titans game was Shore Tackles. What Malik Harrison is, is a Shore Tackler. And when you watch him play, similar to Justin Mattibikey. Yeah, Mattibikey. I hope I said his last name right. But similar to him, he wants you to know that it was him that tackled you. He wants you to know that it was him that hit you. He wants you to feel his presence. And something that we talked about with this Ravens team, they needed to get nastier. On a defensive line, nastier on that front seven, they needed to just get nastier all around. Ravens linebackers, LJ Ford, Patrick Queen, Malik Harrison. That sounds pretty good to me. This is a pick that I absolutely love. I love it. Love it. Love it. Because he brings it, man. He brings it. And that's what the Ravens need. They need people who bring it and who are Shore Tacklers. And this is one of those picks where I feel like he could just put fear in those opponent's hearts, man.  I'm just, I'm sliding. I'm sliding. You know what? I'm going to just kneel down. You know what? I'm going out of bounds. You know what? Nope. Not doing it. That's how he hits. That's how he tackles. You don't let you get away, man. I love this pick, man. I love this pick. I know a lot of people are saying Zach Bonz, Zach Bonz, Zach Bonz. I love this, man. I love it. Now, one thing about him, he did benefit from having a number two overall pick right in front of him on that defensive line. Talking about Chase Young. But now you got Khaled's Campbell. You're going to have Derek Wolf. You're going to have Brandon Williams. You're going to have Justin. Meta Boyke. Meta Baiki. I'm going to get that last name. I'm going to get it down. I think it's Meta Baiki, though. I need to keep practicing. You're going to have Matt Jude on. You're going to have Patrick Queen, LJ Ford. I know they're not all going to be on the field at the same time.  You're going to have that. And as a linebacker, that's a dream for you, especially when you're blitzing. Especially when a running back is trying to come through the hole.   Let me get through this. Anyway, this is good for him. Again, he is in a great situation. And Ravens, I don't think they're done on a defensive line at the pass rush position. I just, I don't think they're done up front. I really don't think they're done with their front seven. I don't. Now, I do expect the next pick to be an offensive lineman, but we'll see. We'll see whatever the best available players, because that's what Ravens are doing. They're not going for need. So I can say I expected to be an offensive lineman, but at the same time, they may be like, hey, we don't need that right now. I mean, we know not that we don't need that, but that ain't the best play available right now. But this, I love this pick. And I think that everybody will too. I can't wait to see the comment section on this with me. Everybody cares. This, this is exciting. This has been, I think this has been the pick that I've been the most excited for me. And that ain't no offense to the other picks. But I think that this, this one, yeah, this one has been the most excited for me. So anyway, team keep it clean. Appreciate y'all. I love y'all. And this is going to be good. It's going to be, he's going to be a Super Bowl champion this season. That's great. Anyway, I'm out.


So if you are a leftist or just a good person, you don't see a lot of political victory So whenever they happen, I absolutely wanted to take the time to highlight them and celebrate them and we absolutely got a monumental victory out of California with regard to net neutrality and It's because net neutrality activists have been absolutely relentless and they defeated Telecom Giants and when I say giant I want to be clear. We're talking about Behemoths, Comcast, AT&T, Verizon, so their lawsuit in order to strike down California's gold standard net neutrality law It's over and it's over because they're withdrawing. They are conceding. They're giving up. They're surrendering and Everyone who fought for this you did this as Evan Greer writes We just won a huge court victory for net neutrality The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a previous decision against the telecom lobbies attempt to prevent the California net neutrality law SBA 22 from going into effect and they further explained ISPs just dropped their lawsuit against the California net neutrality law After they lost three times in federal court huge win for digital rights and the open web Now this was unthinkable to me because these telecom Giants they have virtually unlimited funds They could fight this forever. So at some point if you just keep trying you're bound to get a win But they've given up For them to concede in this battle, that's no small thing. That's absolutely Giant California's law stands and there's nothing that they can do to change that now net neutrality is still not the law of the land But because these states like California and New York and Oregon and Washington have our own net neutrality laws Well, they can't do what they originally wanted to do when a jeep pie was head of the FCC and he Repealed net neutrality. So what this is going to do is not necessarily? Make them retreat all together, right? But I think that what they're gonna do is Refocus perhaps at the national level what they've been trying to do is block GG So who is an FCC nominee and if she gets confirmed then the FCC is no longer deadlocked They can undo the net neutrality repeal from 2017 that a jeep pie then FCC commissioner had passed And if that happens then that is their worst nightmare now for additional details on this Andrea Germanos of common dreams explains Associations representing the telecommunications industry on Wednesday dropped their legal fight to block California's gold standard net neutrality law Following a string of losses in federal courts the stipulation of dismissals filed in the US district court for the Eastern District of California bringing to an end a years-long challenge from major companies including AT&T Verizon and Comcast a Senate bill 822 passed in 2018 despite massive spending by the telecommunications industry The state-level bill restored the Obama era net neutrality protections repealed by the Republican controlled federal communications Commission in 2017 Evan Greer director of fight for the future called the development a huge win for digital rights and the open web John Bergmayer legal director at public knowledge also welcomed the lawsuits withdrawal as great news However, he added the effort to enact net neutrality rules nationwide must continue Which means the Senate must act to ensure we have a full federal communications commission that can restore these important consumer protections For all Americans other open internet defenders have recently urged the Senate confirmation of president Joe Biden's nominee To fill the empty and tie-breaking seat on the FCC GG zone now take a moment and guess who is blocking the confirmation of GG zone Just take a guess It's Republicans How often lately especially have we heard Republicans screech about big tech? censoring everyone well, the FCC has already stated their intent to Undo what a jeep I did now what a jeep I did is give these telecom companies like AT&T Comcast the authority to literally throttle anyone that They don't like Anyone so you know how you have internet currently you have internet access that is in theory equal, right? So when you go to YouTube Netflix any website the speed is the same but what these Telecom companies did was they lobbied very hard to have the authority to basically Slow down websites throttle traffic to websites that either they don't like who were their competitors perhaps and that Absolutely is not just anti-consumer, but it's anti-free speech and all of these free speech warriors on the right who are talking about how Wonderful it is that a billionaire purchased Twitter so he can restore free speech are at the same time blocking This FCC confirmation which would absolutely give the federal government more authority to regulate these free speech Violators these big tech companies, but all of a sudden they don't want to do that Hmm I wonder why it's almost like they don't actually give a shit about freedom of speech and they're just shills for these companies And what's interesting is that Ted Cruz one of the loudest defenders of free speech supposedly back in 2017? Before the FCC repealed net neutrality. He actually wrote an op-ed where he argued that not only should the FCC Repeal net neutrality But they should stop states from enacting their own net neutrality laws and a jeep pie like the good little puppet that he is He then put that provision into his repeal of net neutrality and then passed it So if you care about big tech and how much power they have well then you absolutely should be Fighting for net neutrality because net neutrality is what evens the playing field It doesn't allow these big tech companies like Comcast rise in AT&T to censor their competitors or censor voices who they don't like I mean imagine this world where net neutrality was repealed There's a ton of implications anti-consumer, but also anti-free speech Comcast could know that if I'm one of their customers and I'm saying bad things about them that they're busting unions For example, they could throttle my internet access and that would be perfectly legal Does that not violate freedom of speech according to these politicians? I mean it doesn't violate the First Amendment because this is a private company But they claim that private companies should uphold the principles of freedom of speech and I absolutely agree But if Comcast did this as Ted Cruz says that they should be able to does that not pose a greater threat to freedom of speech? Then Twitter blocking certain accounts arbitrarily I mean we're talking about the control of access to information on the internet here and this is a monopoly You can't just cancel Comcast if they throttle you and go to a different company Most people only have access to one internet service provider in their area So you don't have a choice in this instance You have to have net neutrality if you want to protect freedom of speech also It's anti-consumer because if they wanted to what they can do is they can Basically disaggregate the internet instead of just selling you all of the internet where you have access to all websites They can say well look if you want to buy the social media package which includes Facebook and Twitter and other social media websites like Instagram That'll be 1399 a month if you want to add on our video Program that'll be 2099 a month and you get YouTube you get rumble you get all of these Netflix So they can easily fuck over everyone because these internet service providers They hold all the cards if the internet is going to be viewed as you know The public square or a public utility as these free speech people like Elon Musk say Then they should be the loudest people fighting for net neutrality, but they're not they're silent And that's because they're full of shit if you care about freedom of speech net neutrality is one of the most important issues of our time And so this is a huge victory here But we have to make sure that GG sewn gets confirmed Republicans are blocking her But if they successfully block her then the FCC can't do what they have stated They want to do which is reinstate net neutrality make sure that the playing field is even and there's actually freedom on the internet So I don't want to gripe too much because this is a victory But the fight it will go on and I just want to let you know this is good news But you've got to keep the momentum in this direction. You've got to keep challenging them You've got to keep advocating for net neutrality Because it's not these idiotic right-wingers who are you know pro free speech as they argue against net neutrality It's it's us right back in 2017 I remember Ben Shapiro got massively disliked by his own audience because he advocated against net neutrality I mean people see through this right people see right through it So Democrats need to take up this issue and they've got a fight because not only is it a winning issue But it's an important issue and I'll leave that there


I don't know what's going on today dude we got a crazy runner today look at this 11 to 25 in one hour so this is actually like a former like pump and dump style stuff you can see that like every time it runs it kind of pulls back every time it runs it pulls back every time it runs it pulls back just last week it went from 15 to 45 in a day and then down to 20 so that a one day that's one day so that actually I can actually show you the chart of that day so this is what it did that day around 10 to 46 and then back down and now today today they have like some news so what ends up happening is everyone sees the move from last week and they're like oh my god it went from 15 to 46 I got to get in before it goes to 46 and oftentimes it doesn't go back to 46 so what I've noticed about a lot of these stocks bro is pre-market they go crazy they go crazy crazy crazy pre-market and then right when the market opens boom straight down so what ends up happening is oftentimes you like nibble in a little bit pre-market you like take a little bit of a feeler and then you get destroyed as it goes up so over the years bro I used to get destroyed on those moves so I'm using all of my willpower to just wait for the market open and if it looks like it's gonna reverse at the market open I'm gonna short it so that's pretty much what we're watching today and they started yesterday started today this started an hour ago oh well one hour one hour ago it was $13 one hour later it's $24 so this might not even be on the watch list then so this is on the watch list as like if you are a new trader you're not allowed to trade this this is looking weak dude so bro I said literally five seconds but this is like so this is a signal right this is a signal it pushed up it failed it tried to push back it failed so if it breaks this line of 2250 it should go down basically broken right alright besides anything else going on besides this one not really nothing too crazy today is a little bit of a slow day 2250 let's see but this so this is the hardest part about trading the hardest part about trading is having a plan sticking to your plan my plan is telling me do not trade this pre-market because you've died at 1000 times doing that and now it's looking kind of good pre-market this is how they trap you yeah they trap you do it so the good thing is if it does take pre-market it'll be easier to short because then that bounce will fail if it just keeps going up and up and up and up people will keep buying it but if it goes down there's people that are stuck from a higher position that want to get out on bounces so this is actually a good thing because it now makes the trade less risky at the open so would you be looking for like a like a bounce like a hit up and look for a fast move up but fast moved out right this might be the first like a first 30-minute trade the thing right this might be a first five minutes I was right this seems like the stock that the longer you stay in it the more risky it is so they're trying to hold this 2250 this whoever's controlling the stock knows their 2250 breaks look they're trying to hold it but they know when that breaks it's gonna be very weak but oftentimes they could just break it down and shoot it right back up last time it's hot about 46 now it's hot out 25 for now it could go to 25 and 30 and then 40 you know I don't know yet right but the weaker it is the more the bounce will fail so we did a little live training last Friday it's now Thursday and we were we have a couple Thursdays planned out yeah we're gonna try to do these weekly videos so the video that you guys saw before this was last week and then the video you're gonna see after this is gonna be next week let us know what type of content you guys want to see do you guys like this Q&A between me George George actually a learning how to date tradies watching the Accelerator course now yeah I'm excited Joe Kelly shout out 2250 you see how resilient it is broke as they know that line is up okay I see it first that just happened now too it just happened right now we're gonna deal with how did you get that information so quick we have news so we have news in M.I.C. okay so people actually feed it to you yeah awesome we work like as a team to get the news looks like someone's selling at 37 Rivian's looking a little bit weak so I might take a small short there see if I make it anything this is your first trip today yeah I'm also gonna record my screens so it looks like there's some sellers coming into this room so I'm just gonna scout that like very quick trade if I can get it so look at this one George they brought it down to 2250 now they're bouncing it that's that trap that we told you about right playing games man so this Rivian I'm shorting it pretty much shorting it on the bounce it had news of Mercedes but looks like the news was exhausted like they just sold it off on the news so because they sold it off on the news I'm just trying to piggyback what that trend is so could like fake news or something or it might have been but something like this when you have something like Mercedes and Rivian which is like an electric car maker chances are it's not gonna be fake news but it just seems like the stock is up 11% so maybe the market doesn't think that that news is worth 11% maybe the market thinks it's worth like 4% I don't know all I know is that it rejected so because it rejected I'm just trying to follow that and it bounces like a little bit too much and I'll say you know what I was wrong it was in trading to take any trade that you want as long as you have a plan as long as you stick to your plan my plan is a small gap I think that because I saw the news is rejected I'll take small trip this is a big trap that's exactly what we talked about 2250 sometimes they break it and they shoot it up as a big trap if it's gonna bounce on some of these walls a little bit before the market opens so it's good that I didn't shorty because I wasn't you don't want to be down pre-market I'll be down pre-market plus my plan is saying wait I should just listen to my plan this might even go above 25 so I was watching the video last night and they were saying as a new trader you want to before you before you realize or before you think the top is gonna hit you want to get in like a little moments of four so it depends it depends on the strategy it depends on the setup for us the less riskier is when it already tops up look at this dude it went right back up to 25 yeah oh yeah that trap yeah big trap this means gonna go way higher dude yeah I even hit 30 look they broke 20 to 50 and they brought a 26 now it hasn't been this hot right so you don't have any other information to go by going now oh well I was just going it's just going market definitely a little hotter than uh than last Friday yeah this is great this Rivian we want to go on there 3650 come on 3650 break so as a new trader I want to kind of get more involved in like my process right so for the new trader listening we got we have about 22 minutes to the open what's one of the things I'm looking for right now like pre-market like I know you know we're talking about the two hot stocks here but let's say I don't want to you know I don't want to fall for the trends that I want to go for the hot stock of the day you know they get you said PX PI XY is kind of you know you don't want you want new traders trading that what do I do right now all you got to do is go to the watch list there's one two three four five five other stocks that are not hot that could be your opportunity to trade so these are stocks QNRX BIVI SIDU BGXX SHPH these are the ones to watch if you're a new trader so I put advanced stocks for advanced traders and beginner stocks for beginner traders as Rivian is going down there we go so let's try to get out of some of our position so as if I could get a little bit of my position off here I'll explain that trade a little bit more in detail because that's usually not trade that I take very often so I got some off at 36 38 this Rivian is an extremely beaten down stock so if you look at this stock you see that went from 180 down to 36 so usually what happens when a stock is very beaten down it tends to continue being beaten down now this stock had news of Mercedes which is usually big news whenever a company announces news with a another big company it's great news but when you see a giant red candle like this and for some reason the news is selling off then there's two scenarios one maybe someone knew the news ahead of time and they bought it ahead of time and they're selling into the news or to the market doesn't think that the news is worth this jump so all I did is look at that red candle I joined the trend of going down and now I'm exiting my position I think I'm just gonna get out of the rest right here and soon as I get out right here that was about $3,000 trade right here that was about $3,000 trade in about eight minutes on a side stock that I wasn't even really too interested in because it just popped up on my radar now taking it off my radar and going back to the other stock on the watch and now we're back to waiting now just for a point of view perspective how was the size on it that was a thousand shares maybe maybe about 50 cents a share 50 cents a share on a stock that moved you know a couple bucks you know so now I'm having it on another side radar in case it shoots back up at the open but I might have gone out a little bit too early dude because now it's at 3617 I got 3632 so my idea was right my plan was right and usually my entries are right my exit sometimes so now you now you're up 3k before the market you're playing with all your own basically playing with house money you can enjoy the day a little more I could enjoy the day a little bit more and I could also be a little bit riskier on pixie because I could get in a little bit larger you know but and again this ribbon is not something that I normally trade it's when I see that opportunity just get quick 50 cents but and it's not like I was looking for it's not like I was shorting it on the way up I was waiting for it to top out and then shorting it you know right yeah so for the information here what word did you actually hit it so I'll show you on this chart right this is what it looks like this red arrow I was around 37s and I got out low 36s and now it's still going lower just like that because you would think bro could think about the average person Rivian the electric car maker has a view of Mercedes you hear that but you're like I'm gonna buy this is going 100 is going to 200 but what you have to pay attention to is what the market thinks about it just because you think it's gonna go up doesn't matter what does the market think right and the market thought that the new shouldn't be up that much whereas if it went from this candle is from 33 to 37 if this candle went from 33 to 35 then it might have kept going up but because it went up so fast so quick the market thought maybe that's not worth what it is right it's funny name because to the just the common person you would think that's that's pretty big news and that's good news you know but at the end of the day they did shoot up so it is I mean for the stock it is still up it's still up yeah right but it's not up as before now it's down at 36 dude right probably hit 35 something bro so I screwed up right I screwed up I could have made another $3,000 if I held another five minutes but sometimes where I like to be in and out you know but it was another scenario you would have lost that 3k and that was the extra 5 minutes if I was yeah if I was too patient now it's lower 35 86 right so let it do its thing let it keep going down I'm busy on this one so back to this pixie last time we saw it was 2250 it broke it went all the way to 27 almost so bounce almost five hours of share and it's rivian is now going down more to bro look at dude well oh my god I'm so stupid bro I'm so stupid yeah this pixie went up to 27 and if you look a little bit closer you can see 2650 rejection 2650 rejection 2650 rejection okay not the open we'll look to maybe short some around 2650 right so that's pretty so what we'll look for the best case scenario George the best case scenario is this so 2250 now it's around 22 bucks so this stock breaks 22 bucks it should go straight down so what we want to see is we want to see it push up here and then we want to see boom created through 22 besides for these two you have shp shp over here what else is going on do we have other stocks in the watch us pretty much just waiting to see what those do yeah I was thinking I pulled this one back up because I thought maybe if it would bounce a little bit higher I could reshort it they just tanked it yeah don't they give a pop at the mic so now what I'm thinking about this rivian is I'm thinking someone do the news ahead of time and someone selling it to the news you mean like someone that well works there or likes could be yeah it could be someone that works it could be like a big fund that has a lot of rivian shares found the news early they bought the stock yesterday a week before and then when the news comes out they dump it these guys are making brought these guys are making literally probably hundreds of millions of dollars bro hundreds of millions of dollars and we're over here bro try to make 3k ball with our 3k we gotta go to club with our dude it's a hundred of millions in this one candle it's like I mean like within like that couple minutes right and it's crazy this pixie's looking weaker bro I'm liking this price action a lot I'm liking that it tried to push off it failed and now let's see even if it doesn't fail at 22 I mean you could still scalp and get you know get the pop at 26 yeah so I don't know what's gonna happen yet because at the open everything's gonna get crazy it could just tank the 22 bounce to 28 it could pop to 27 tank to 20 I don't know yet so I have to wait we're a minute and a half till open I've just had one trade so far up a little over 3k let's see what happens I keep drawing my lines I think it's really important to keep you make you feel safe it's everything yeah so you know you know what's gonna do it's either gonna go up here it's gonna either come down here you know like that's it so what this stock looks like it's gonna do is it looks as if it's gonna tank at the open rebound and then depending on how it rebounds that'll be a trade the worst thing you could do for a short is hit it when it's going straight down because everyone's doing that you want to be able to short a bounce bounce will give you the best entry but you can still short it when it's weak but if you want the best entry you got to hit a bounce we got 30 seconds until the market opens thank you realistically use like you said it could tank but it could also just shoot right up at the open right I'm gonna slowly slowly bro and try to get in if this thing bounces slow that's 10 seconds shooting up a little bit oh well oh man also pixie had a candle going up and then this is tricky right here it looks like some pop what's the thought process here it's in the middle it's not at the top it's not at the bottom so yeah it's playing a lot of games right on it failing yeah you got a position here on pixie looking for that 22 break right oh dude when I see a candle like that that's gotta be a pumper right it could be anything yeah right now what goes up must come down a little bounce on Ruby here I don't know that was a late bounce up yeah I don't have that much market experience so I haven't seen it like that yeah I was in the middle of the range so we're just waiting to see when a stock starts out like that after the market opens what's the now we're gonna see what it does it after the whole top right now it's your short on pixie we have a line around that 26 27 right yeah what we want to see is we want to see it either reject 27 or we want to see it keep pushing so depending on what it does it could just keep pushing and then pull back or it could just go down I don't know yet this Rivian kind of pulled back so that was a good idea you had there you know I haven't even seen it that much so when I see it a bunch of times I feel like you kind of just get used to it a little bit I know things happen differently but I really want to go for like some shorted scalps you know like nothing crazy to start it's how it is bro like this Rivian tree could have been like solid like a dollar or share winner right now yeah but if I made 3k on that I would walk away happy happy day so we really don't want to see is we don't want to see it keep going up we want to see some sort of rejection somewhere right at 35 mark on Rivian that fail mark but it's already down so much that like it doesn't really matter anymore that all I made it's a big move it's already basically broken as you could tell I mean just dude just looking at your screen I mean last week when we were recording all of this was going like crazy you know the volume was nuts this volume is way like crazy yeah I mean so is that saying that that's not really getting this this halt or something yeah oh hold him yeah that's why I'm like yo what is going on so now because of that candle you can short because that candle I'm gonna show more yeah so that makes you feel comfortable to show the truth colors I guess show that candle right after a halt isn't it hard to get the short so yeah it's gonna be it's gonna be difficult because look so let's let's recap what happened right start is shorting some around 24 as like a starter position okay and then it pushed up and halted up at the resistance at 27 we got a death candle from 27 down to 24 now because we had that death candle I feel comfortable getting very aggressive and adding larger into my position because it looks like the top is it even if we're to have a bounce back up you feel comfortable that it's just gonna come back to reality yeah I like Rivian today this another pop look at that 36 line let it keep going bro I got my focus on this bitch right here and this is a beauty about trading man I could be sitting in another room just focusing on something else I still you know still possibly making some money I'm gonna try to add as soon as the stock on halls yes this is a good call saying we get our traders this would be scary to me pixie it's just moving too fast but that's that death candle bro that's the death candle yeah because that's the death candle I'm gonna hit it and I'm gonna do a prayer to bro so the first halt is for how many minutes they're all five minutes all five minutes okay you have a hold a couple times in a room yeah it's gonna open up in one minute one minute I'm gonna have I paid a load of money and locates today a load so this needs to work out you had a 23 average and then you you won't three average I didn't have more yet okay 23 I took a starter now when it unhaults I'm gonna try to add it looks like it's gonna if right now it's a 24 30 indicating at 2350 right where's the indicator 2350 okay this should open up in 20 seconds oh whoa whoa whoa come on try short more 26 oh my god I couldn't get it no I got 500 shares oh my god broken halted again Jesus talk about that trigger so we saw the death candle and my plan was to add after the death candle before I could even add it crashed more so I only got I was trying to add 4,000 more shares I only got 500 shares you got something in I do it if I got that 4,000 and that was gonna be an extra 10,000 profit yeah I don't know what the I'm gonna do because if it opens really low like if it opens up around like 20 bucks then I have to take some of my position off and add it back this is the house it closed at 21 6 it's indicating that's gonna open up at 21 1 so I should probably cover a little bit bro just to like get some profits off but dude I was trying to get that ad that ad would have paid me yeah some more 21 20 bucks of support the big 20 it's done right so for the viewers where's your cap out here where's you know where's your sell-out that to make the money we're looking for you come on bro come on I'm adding come on come on come on bro come on got it wow broken come on bro just go down go down you keep running it was about to hold down they saved it come on bro we want to see it under 20 bucks George is remember 20 was lying so it's a poor at 20 bucks so far yeah when it hit it hit 19 in 1977 come on bro break testing huh really isn't that much volume on it I don't know how it was halting like crazy it's very thin what's the deal with that come on go down now that you pay the high borrow fee you could just keep adding as much as you want right borrow is very expensive today bro very expensive close almost a dollar share to borrow it so average borrow like five cents one to five cents well and oftentimes when the borrow is really expensive people don't want to pay it and when people don't want to pay it gives me an opportunity to pay forward trade right the Washington's Rivian cuts were you thinking on that I took I paper traded took it at 36 to okay I am looking to sell soon and make my 60 cents I think it's gonna go down though I think it's gonna I think I can make a dollar a share on it now it's stuck bro what's up pixie yeah it's kind of figuring out what it's gonna do here probably a little bit patient on the dude I mean I've noticed like the ticker like move so much quicker in a lot of those scenarios this is just crazy that it halted and it's just not even I mean the there's no there's not much volume that's good because that means that there's not much much interest in it anymore everyone's going crazy crazy crazy now you gotta think bro people were buying 25 26 27 and now it's a 21 so if it bounces it should fail because people are stuck from a higher price right but my target is under 20 bucks I think this will go under 20 bucks and if it holds under 20 18 is possible all right so we're back looks like we're at $20 now it's testing that 20 so it's gonna be a very very very key important test if it breaks down over here getting very good tried to bounce bounce failed so let's see if it's gonna continue to go lower if I give it breaks that it's gonna shoot down up I hope because remember what happened last time remember it's broke down here is shot up right so we don't want to see that we want to see a breakdown and continue to go down come on bro you gonna go down a lot I saw my rebellion at 35 80 cover it you mean the get out of short getting out of the short cover I mean 40 cents a share okay my favorite read so we gotta start somewhere cuz but that's a good trade to take as a tank that you shorter the bounce the reason why we're trading that 35 and $21 stocks today is because of the runners right that's the only ones I have the opportunity today obviously the cheaper the stock is the better it is for us because mostly scams mostly scam companies are on that price but depends on the day so today was a lot of these higher price stocks which are okay they're just a little bit tougher right as you could see yeah now I'm making it a hard example for the members to learn from explain what that's saying so you're saying I took a star position here when it starts to look like it failed with the plan to add after I saw a death candle saw a death candle here and then I added a big position here and now I'm slowing to exit my position here why don't you lock in any um I did I took some off at 1950 okay not nearly enough right I was looking at that I could have held I made a dollar a share basically so right now bro we're basically on autopilot we're gonna let this pixie do its thing if it gets back down to 20 bucks I'm gonna try to exit some more and so long as it doesn't go above 23 we should be good on this one you have a 23 or do you have a 21 so really right now you can almost walk away and just put if it hits 19 you automatically pull out make your money it's 23 you just cut your losses and call it to be honest I thought I was gonna get more of my position off because if you see like I got some of it off here yeah I was trying to get more of it off but it just bounced on here which happens so it is what it is yeah I mean what happened at the end of the day all right bro if you remember we were waiting for it to go under 20 bucks it was just kind of hovering around 2020 went to 22 came back down what 22 came back down and then the end of the day it went from 21 all the way to 33 and just killed everyone luckily I got out right before that I think that day we locked in about 13,322 dollars it was obviously a lot more earlier but had I not exited that might have been like a $20 30,000 loss for us so but you know in hindsight the profit is good it should have been better but the stock acted completely irrational and just almost went up 50% in 30 minutes and it happens from time to time was the day man yeah yeah so that's all good man another day another dollar I guess
