All right, cool. So we are officially recording. The first thing, before we just start kind of talking podcast style guys, is I wanna make sure that everybody got their answer, or their questions answered, as it relates to how to use Slack and MIC. So does any member have a question, post them in the webinar's channel? And does anybody on YouTube who's listening on, have any questions about operating at MIC? We can talk about like some charts and stuff, but like, do you guys have any questions about like the analytics, or how do I see this in my account, or how do I do, et cetera, et cetera? Like the videos tab and the library and stuff. If you don't, then we could just, we could just talk on other stuff. I don't know if that was gonna be available today. We'll see. What do you guys wanna talk about today, man? I'm here for you guys. So do you want to talk about certain topics, like on these meme stocks, that's going crazy and things like that? Or dude, look at this Tesla, man, this is crazy.  I'll ask you guys questions. Everybody's so focused on the meme stocks, man. Nobody, everybody's like, dude, I'll hit you up after I've done trading.   Hey, Tosh, what does your process look like in big caps when it comes to day trading, or do you swing? I only swing big caps. So what I do, brother, is I actually hold on one second. Let me pull that back up. I'll just kind of show you what my day looks like to be on, da, da, da. So let me show you my favorite setups for small caps and what I still look forward to this day, even though I wouldn't classify myself as a small cap trader anymore, just if certain setups show up, then yes. But so number one, how do you minimize out of this shit? Hold on, guys. Oh, there we go. Oh, there we go. Okay, you guys can see, that's cool. So the first thing that I love every single day in small caps, which I still wait for every single day, are basically one of three things. And it's really like, it's got to be a really good setup. But again, a stock, let me full screen this. Let's blow this up again. So when a stock has like, it's ran pre-market and is opening way, way, way below, I like these like the outermost lines. So that's, this is simple, like a low hanging fruit, outermost lines, day two or day one, but it's really just the outermost lines on something like this. This is probably the best example I have recorded on something like this, I can just show you guys quickly.   It's just resistance. It's literally that. Number two, this is just an inflated thing. This is my favorite. So this is it. This is my number one favorite setup these days, equally, equally mixed with death candles. So number one, you have the outermost line. And sometimes I don't even trade those because I'm so focused on big caps, but the outermost line, this is what I look for every single day. They're kind of far and few between, but when they show up, I've never seen a more guaranteed trade in trading than this and the death candle. So, so dude, I'm serious. Like you have a stock huge up pre-market, craters hard, doesn't play ping pong or even touch VWOP until the open ramps up to VWOP. This is such a big resistance point. It's phenomenal. Like it's insane how accurate this setup works. And me and Joe tested that over years and it works. And then again, just like, this is another example, this is the same thing. So this is, do you see what I'm saying? Up big, tanks hard, doesn't touch VWOP for like an hour and then runs up to VWOP and gets crushed. It's as simple as that. Just put your fantasy orders out. So it's basically, if anything, it's all just fantasy orders. So if you go back to the first one, this is just fantasy orders at the outer lines. And then this is just fantasy orders of VWOP.  It's that simple. And then number, number three is obviously the death candle. I'll never ignore a death candle ever. I'm in big caps, yes, cause they don't operate the same, but in small. And this is it. So those are the three things I look for every single day in small caps.  And then what I'm doing on big caps are much, much, much, much bigger time frames. So if I go to like the five year chart guys on something like Tesla, oh, sorry, hold on. Let me add style, biggies. So as you guys can see, this is one of the only, so I'll go to your chart. This is one of the only setups I actually like rely on an indicator, like big time. And what I'm looking for on big caps are really good companies that are super oversold. So if I go to like a five year chart actually, you guys can see the oversold moments instead of the overbought, cause I don't short big caps. Oh, hey, what's up, pal? Hold on, buddy. Let me see if you're there. One sec guys, we're gonna get that one. All right, he's not in yet. We'll get him in a sec. But yeah, so I love RSI. So that's like what I'm waiting for. And then arguably day trade to longer time, term time frames on options. But that's, that's probably the least I use, but the one sec. Yeah, so as you guys, as you guys can see, it's a lot. It's a lot. So if small caps are slow, there's something else to do. If even big caps are slow, then you can swing. Like there's so much to do, man. And that's what I wanted to kind of, really kind of grow as a trader over the years is, hey, man, when one market's slow, I don't wanna cry about it. Like I want opportunity, so what should I do? So that's why I kind of navigated towards that as well. Hold on guys, one sec. Modern rock. Val, where are you at, buddy? You should be in. All right, you hear me? Yeah, I'm making you a panelist right now. What's up, buddy? How you doing? Did you guys hear about? Yeah, can you hear me? Hope you can hear me. Nice. Nice. I was talking about dude Tesla's a monster right now.  Jimmy's killing everybody. Hey, MC's killing everybody. I know, bro. I know it's a crazy market. I was like, I was like, dude, there's no way that was coming on today.   Yeah, man, fuck, a lot of trades today, but I... And one of the things I was covering earlier about, maybe if you wanna talk on this, if you have some time or some focus is, dude, days like this, when people are shorting, it's like, dude, there's not one reason you should be shorting on days like this, but waiting for the confirmation days, whether it's overhead and out of lines or waiting for that first red date, it's really gonna give you some horsepower on the short. I see so many people, dude, on Twitter blowing up on days like this, I'm like, why are you fighting this shit? Because it's up? Oh, which one? Just anything. This is Jimmy yesterday. And there's a lot, like Tesla looked like this, a lot of charts looked like this yesterday.  The problem is the FOMO kicks in, they let you win the first few trades and then it traps you. That's the problem. So if you take a look at all these stocks, these stocks, pull it up, man. AMC ran at two. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here, I'll actually do one more screen. One sec, I'll do them all. Bring up AMC, just follow the zombie rule about no shorting, be careful about shorting and zombie art. Take a look at when it started moving.  Hold on, I'll just do two. I mean, I'm not messing much with AMC because it's a strong stock, but this is the stock that I've been scoping. Look at, seriously. So this was GME today guys, this was AMC. And then what Bao's talking about is like, let me just draw the line for you is after the first hour, look at the time it goes, man. It's like 1040 or something like that, 1045, just fucking, that's the zombie art, man. It traps, it traps, you think you're good, boom. So if you look at my chart, I actually covered the zombie art and then, but they kept on going up. But the good thing is when you trade these stocks, man, you have to understand the range. Before you trade any stock, figure out what the range is. What is the possible, how far can it go up and down, right? That's your range. And then you size accordingly guys, small size, wider stocks. For cases of meme stocks like GME, dude, I am at one fourth my bullet size normally. You know what I'm saying?   So if you take a look at, here's another one, man. That's one of the good, you can see this. Yep. Etch stock. I was going to mention that, bro. I was going to mention you use the outermost lines. Then you wrap up by zombie. You did exactly a process in tales, man. Another one of those fucking, but I mean, outside of Corley, I mean, somebody get this Christmas tree, some ornaments. God, that's crazy.   Look at this. Look, bing, bing, bing, bing, bing. Like how could you not scale that area? You know what I mean? It's like, dude. The thing is I scale, I size down even further. Dude, but bow, look at this. It's like, dude, people think this is rock because I find the areas of resistance, find the areas of support and that's your guide. Yeah, man. I do it. Easy peasy. Yeah, right? Like it's the easier job or no, we don't want to make it sound like that. I mean, I got the thing with this though, man. So what I do is this guy. So I locate what I want to do as my max size, okay? And then that's your allowance. So thinking about, you get $20 a month or a week, whatever you have for allowance as a kid, then you can budget. The law problem is this guys, we don't like to budget.  So same thing with trading, okay? You have to budget your bullets.  You can blow your wad, the first chance you get or you can start saving money and using 200 bullets and they have five bullets, right? Things like that. So learn how to allocate your trades, just like allocating your budget financially or a kid that was in an allowance, right? Dude, 100% man. So that's the thing.    Yep, yep. Everybody trades differently, man. You can't scatter, you know, that the key is this, it's all position sizing. Okay, you have no idea how many shares I have.  So it's not gonna blow me.    It's just not liquid enough, things like that.  That's why the term is like liquidity trap.   All I can control in trading, all I can control in trading, all I can control in trading is risk management, right?   So that's why scaling is just so important, man. Knowing where to scale is number one and then learning how to scale it, but you've got like, dude, in the beginning, man, when you see stocks tank at the open, you just want to chase it because you don't know better. You go, hey, the stock is weak, let me get in. And then obviously, like we talked about earlier, stocks don't go straight up or straight down. You've got to wait for those areas that they retest. Like knowing how to scale it, you know?  Like, dude, let me see. Let me just show some of the stuff I did. Then you guys can ask questions. So I mean, some of this stuff is much easier so I can just lay it out there, but some of these require micro management. And that's why I really hate trading these micro managed stocks, but I'll show you what I posted in the main chat, guys.  Yeah, the Mullen, this is just straight up, you know, outer line channel as well, right? It's like, you have top, top, top, top. So it's going to be within this general area.  Yeah, some are just so much smoother than others, man. I tell you, welcome to trading. Some days my money with your eyes closed the other day is you're really going to fight for it. These stocks is only on day two, guys. A lot of people have thought it's the end, but if you count it, it's day two, guys.   Who knows? Oh, that's what I was saying earlier. That was the first thing I said in this webinar. I was like, I don't like this today, man. Like tomorrow, like waiting for the day where it starts to really show some weakness, man. Then you have just such an easier short, man. People got smoked today. The thing is, the thing is just like, it gives you false hope, lets you win in the beginning. That's how the trap happens, right, guys.    The only thing I could do, guys, is just like, you have to follow the rules. The dangerous, the dangerous habit you have is breaking a rule and getting away with it and getting rewarded with it.   Well, I covered GME, so I mean, I did well with this small skilling. Not easy, man. Nice. So let's take some questions. Today's a very dangerous game. So today's training made me understand the movement of the stock. I didn't size them up much today because I'm like, dude, I didn't think today with the day that they die. Today's only day two.  I was like, fuck, I missed it, I missed it.  And then it traps. That's how you get yourself, man.  That's why you have to fucking, you know, control your, this is why having a tab is important, guys, and staying within your niche.   I'm okay, not gonna look, right? Because look at CELZ.  Not easy, but simple, right? You short when it pops up to the, you know, to the, this thing has been, CELZ has been trying to break VWAP for all afternoon. It's under VWAP, all I'm doing is I'm shorting near the VWAP. If it breaks VWAP and it holds VWAP, I'm out. That's it. Hey, you just get out. You define your risk, you define your plan. It's as simple as that. Now you obey it though. Now you abide by your plan. Simple is never easy, but, you know. Yeah, simple is never easy, but simple is simple. Fordham trading, get a tap, man. We talking about this all the time.  Yeah, here, I'll show you the porno site. No, I'm just kidding. Good, I keep saying online shopping is cheaper.   We'll do whatever you need to do to get the hell out.  I answer DMs, Tosh goes and does webinars. Alex does whatever he does, you know, goes eat a cookie, whatever, you know, do what you need to do to avoid that. Cause I'm telling you, man, the best chariots in the world are not necessarily the smartest. They are the most disciplined guys. Discipline is the reason why Alex is kicking, but doesn't mean that he's the smartest. No one's the smartest anything, but you know what I mean?    Just go to watch videos of my investing club videos.  You have to. How bad do you want it? How bad do you want it?    That'll give himself a good black on this chart right here. I'm not joking, man. At the end of the day, sometimes I pull some of these charts and I go, what the fuck, dude?  I was like, this is a perfect 10 model.  You think that's hot? Let me show you my charts. I'll show you sexy.  You're kidding, you got a lot.  Yeah, that's a sexy one, man. I love this chart game up. You know? Any questions, guys? Guys, questions, questions. Oh, someone on YouTube. Can you describe how low-hanging fruit plays? Dude, we have whole videos on that, guys.  This is what we teach people every day. The best short strategies are to short the stocks that used to be strong the day before, but now has been forgotten. So we call those like the side plays, you know, with a side check or whatever, right? Yep. It's like you're, I can't use this analogy. Oh, God. And look, guys, look how many pages on low-hanging fruit we have. We have a ton. Yeah, guys. We have some videos on the free website, too, man. So trading porn, man. That's what we should do on trading porn. Yeah, seriously. Muscle memory. That's one muscle, I remember. Questions, guys, questions. Hit us with your questions. If this is your passion and you want it, you'll watch the videos and look at your charts and other people's charts and I'm gonna see you correct. Correct, correct, correct. Yeah, man. I mean, the thing is, I do before, before I might see dude, man, I was one of the first people to post daily charts, people all talk so much.  All they do is brag, they don't help anybody, they don't post charts. All they do is bash people that they don't help anybody. So this is, so we are trying to change it. And they do, they bash me the other week because I post my charts and it's ugly, but they don't post any charts or they're losers, right?  I know Twitter sucks, just, just follow me only.  They've been bashing GME and AMC and calling the people dumb names as far as I know.  Same thing with the Tesla short guys.  Imagine if you just supplement your income, make 200 bucks a day.  And so don't listen to these guys. Making money is easy guys. It's controlling your emotions to keep the money as hard. If you make $200, you want to make 500.  So it's keeping your emotions in check and look at CELZ, man.  I think so, yeah, there was the view off one. Yep, yep, when it breaks the view up, you cut. Yep.  Well, and David just said it perfectly. Dude, it's three p.m. It's too late to be shorting this anyway. So if you lost on this technically, you deserve it.  Guys, right here, you just draw a line on your chart. If you're short past this line, you're honestly asking to take it out. You're just kind of asking for it. This is the timeframe where you have a short edge and then the first hour. So obviously these are three minute charts, guys. So they look way more condensed in a one minute. This is an hour within these white lines and then this is an hour. So it's actually a decent amount of time to get some trades in, but those are your edges. Any short outside of these white lines, you're actually kind of asking for it unless you use the outermost line on a really good scale at a level where you have an edge. But this is where to make the easier money. We have time-based rules, guys. We would talk about time-based rules all the time. Yeah, man, crazy. This is all the chop. This is the chop. And if you wanna learn channel trades, it's not that you can't learn channel trading. Usually a stock will say, I'll just draw some random lines just to kind of show you guys for a frame of reference. But in the middle here, then you have channel trades. You know what I mean? But this is the shorts. These are the shorts. This is channel trades.  They're not even longs. I think the last hour you just wrap up, dude. Honestly, that's my personal myth. If you guys have a process within the last hour, go for it. But I don't like longs or shorts during that time. But I would definitely not be a short, 100%. I don't know. Bal, you've been known to actually hold overnight, like every now and then, like a long, if you like the last hour, huh? Yeah, I held, yep.   That needs to be closed way over VWOP. Could I be hovering VWOP? Can I be just, you know, that you know is gonna be, I only hold the squeezers if I wouldn't do it. And don't chase high. You have to have a wash. So a secret for holding a long position overnight is you have, they have to have cleaned out the stock, meaning they need to get rid of the profit tickers as much as they can and then trap the shorts. So what they do is, you looks really, really strong, really, really strong.   You know what I'm saying? And it starts like this way over VWOP, yep.  Whoever chase the candle is fucked. Because it's just- It's towards the cover before the storm. Yep. So those are the best plays, guys. The plays that you need, they clean out.  So they need to clean out the profit takers, the weak profit, the weak longs and then trap the weak shorts or trap new shorts. Yep, yep. Exactly, exactly right. And the thing is guys, it's like, this does sound like, should I sell, somebody on YouTube, should I sell AMC today or sell later? I want to hold though. Bro, you gotta know what you're in, man. You gotta know what you're in. This is a grief.   But all I can play with is probably, you may be right today, you may be wrong tomorrow, but over time, you know, the average is out. Repost who asked that question. Where's your average? Tell us, where's your long average? No matter what the average is, man. I'm just curious.  Like are you down on it or are you green on it or? If you're down AMC today and you're long, I don't know what to tell you, bro. Yeah. Yeah, that's the point. If you're down today, guys, okay, I'm telling you now.   You will, you will, not a matter of if, you will blow up eventually. Well, because yeah, I mean, think about it.  People that buy today probably got in, like yesterday, the day before last week, last year, right? If you're fucking, this is how you get trapped, man.  And then you didn't look at the chart. This shit's been running for two days already. It's up huge, tomorrow's day three.   And then boom, it takes down. So tomorrow I anticipate a gap up maybe. Hopefully, if it gaps up, pair blocks, and then that's the top. Dude, it's like the same thing with coin, right?  Bro, me and Faye knew this one guy. He's not a part of AMC. Bro, he had like 400 shares of coin and still has them at like 410 average.  These are the people that just, they lose everything, man, because they have no plan. Bro, the guy who posted on YouTube reposts, we're not cranking on you or anything, man. We're just telling you, have a plan, bro, because when you ask questions like that, there's no way we don't, we don't agree.   That's not enough. That's not enough of a reason to be in a stock, okay?  You know what it is, man?    Yeah, I think the safest thing to say is, will AMC be back down to these levels? I would bet my life on it. Does it go to 40 before it does? Who knows?  Who knows? But the point is, is like, if you don't have a process, you're just never gonna make money, man, because say you make money on this trade, congratulations, pat yourself on the back. The next trade and the next one, you have bad habits, you don't know what you're doing, you're gonna lose on those. So you're just always gonna tread water until you go, look, I short because of this and I long because of this. Like there's a process that you can build around, not, hey, should I sell my AMC or not? Like there's nothing to that. There's just no fundamental process as I'm holding a stock that's high up. You were just guessing where to buy, literally. You're throwing darts. You're throwing darts. Yeah, I thought of a systematic way of figuring out when to buy, when to sell it. And we're only using this example to help, truly. Oh, we talk about the lines. The lines and support resistances, so that at least is the system that I use. Yeah, and the thing is, the guy who posted this on YouTube reposts, the thing is, buddy, you gotta understand is day trading. So like we talked about time-based trading, this is day two. So when you have day one of a run, which nothing really happens a day, and then it explodes, that's day one of a new move, a new catalyst, this is day two. And then the further along progression of days that you go, the less chance you have to make money on the long.  Because you don't know, and people just don't know what they don't know. Day three, you don't long stock. It usually gets crushed. It's statistical math. And if it doesn't get crushed, hey, congratulations. Again, pat yourself on the back, you're gonna lose on the next one because you built bad habits, right? We're just trying to be as real with you as possible, because it takes thinking outside the box to be a professional trader. It takes very, but the thing is this guys, these things can go on forever to a million dollars.  The most likely not, you know? So what you need to do is at least put a plan out.  You better be okay with losing all your money. If you're okay with losing all your money, then good luck to you. Now I'm not gonna tell you not to fucking, you know, get in or out, right? So that's the thing. It's up to you. You should invest money that you're willing to lose everything. If you're not, then you can have a plan.  And if you gamble, make sure you gamble with funds and money that you can afford to lose everything. Because that's gambling. Bro, that's the best thing we've said in a long time is Bao just said, if you're invested in a stock like you're doing, buddy, and not day trading, because when you're day trading, you have a plan. If you're invested in a company, you should only put in the maximum amount that you literally, if it went to zero tomorrow, you go, well, I was invested. I didn't day trade it. I actually bet on the company, wanted to basically essentially quote unquote, buy a piece of this company. And if I lose, I was willing to take that bet. That's the trade is I'm investing in this company. I like this company. If they fail, that was the quote unquote trade. But a day trade is very, very different. Very different. I've got money invested in companies where I believe in the company so much, I'd rather go to zero than sell for a loss because it went down because it's an investment. It's not a day trade. A day trade sense. If it breaks this line, I'm gonna get it out.   My advice is, before you get into a stock, even when you're investing or day trading, you need to make a plan. A plan is not the whole dish of forever.  That's gambling, guys. Because you know what, man?  And then it takes you to zero. So I mean, the best time to make a plan is when you're not in the stock, when you are clear-headed. Definitely, definitely. And guys, a plan is like, sometimes it could be as simple as, okay, you wanna invest in a company. Like the guy who just asked about EMC, now he's asking about space. So he said, what do you think about space? Again, this is more of like investment talk of, hey, what do you think of the company's fundamentals? It's behind it. On a day trade, nobody's day trading this right now, because there's nothing, there's just no edge, right? There's really no edge in this. But you have to look at the company fundamentals and look at their cash flow and everything if you like it, who's behind everything. Like there's so many factors to that. But asking, you know, what do you think of space? What do you think of space? What do you mean? The best thing is very different than trading. Yeah.  I don't know anybody who gives me a tip. So asking anybody when they think of the stock company is just stupid because they don't know. Because in about to add to that, it's like, okay, you're at a party, right? Let's say the stock is right here up to, say it's 57, say we're at this timeframe, 628 of last year, say that we're here in 21 and you're at a party and some guy says, dude, buy space. This is the best thing ever. And you throw all your money in, now it's trading at $9.  That punch bowl was that. You see what I'm saying? It's like- You can tell me your experience. I heard something up last night. It's like, okay, you're saying you have some shares in space. Okay, have a plan, man. Have a plan. Only put in what you're willing to lose if you're an investor. And if you're day-training it, know the lines to cut or take profit. It's simple as that. Like just do it.  I mean, I've done that before. So I mean, that's the thing, guys.  That's fine. You did not have a plan.   So I- Dude, that's awesome.  Now that is such a good analogy, dude. That's what it is, man.    Like when you're on an airplane, they ask you, hey, in the case of an emergency, are you willing to help people by sitting in this seat? Then you go, well, fuck, man. If the plane explodes in half and you know, I'm helping people off the plane or we land in water, am I gonna be that guy that's actually gonna facilitate people getting out of this plane that's in trouble? Like it's a plan, right? Like it's a plan. So in the theater, it's like, hey, where are the restrooms? Where's the exit?     Yeah, man. Yeah. When the new world order comes, what are you gonna invest in? Bitcoin? So that's the thing, guys.  You wanna make money or not, that's the goal. You wanna, I'm serious about this, okay? If you wanna make money, you have to ask yourself, am I here to make money or am I here to gamble? Yeah.   Look at the fuck, I'm making money. So that's when you can realize that, hey, man, maybe trading is not really me. I would like to gamble. So once you understand that you'd like to gamble, that is fine.  Yes, I love that, love that.    You know? But then I realized that over time, like fuck, money's more important to me than that ego. So the guy that posted about the AMC and stuff, now he's saying, are you diversified? Well, you're asking a lot of questions, brother, as if this is an investing club. Yeah, this is not investing, dude. If you want, you can fall for the scammers that say, hey, give me money, I'll trade for you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And look, look, I know we're called my investing club. Like obviously we do differentiate all across a lot of sectors, but I mean, we mostly focus on trading. Hey, what's up? Trinidad, what's up, buddy? Yeah, so if you're looking for something where it's like, hey, man, here's a stock tip and, you know, boil down this company's fundamentals and invest. I mean, we're not that community specifically, we're more of a teach day trading community. But I think you would learn a lot by joining us because the questions that you ask are very preliminary, which is okay. If you learn how to trade, you can invest for yourself, guys. Exactly. That's a much better way to say it than I was saying. Dude, you're right now, all you're asking is this is a good company. You're not even asking the most important question. Where do I buy? Where do I sell?   You don't know where to buy, you don't know where to sell. This is why people get scammed. They're told to never sell. Never sell.  And I mean, the guy that's telling you never to sell or the guy selling.  Well, now let's look at how Diamond Hands has been treated for a while. They were saying Diamond Hands at 483, GMEs at 138. I'll bet those Diamond Hands hurt. Let's talk about AMC. Pull up the chart. Pull up the GMG chart. Yeah, there's AMC. Yeah, there's AMC. Dude, look, look.   Dude, not even that.  Yeah, yeah, absolutely, man. Dirt, dirt. The thing is most of these people that buy this are buying on margins. So you already wiped out, man. It doesn't even need to go to zero because you maxed out your two-to-one buying power.  Oh, dude, that's what happens at Bow.  It doesn't have to go to zero. It's just got to drop 10%. Yeah, man, people don't understand, man. You get into fucking, I just feel bad for these guys, but shit, we're gonna do it. Yeah, Reuben, this screenshot I sent you yesterday, I talked about the scam saying it was you. Yeah, guys, we should note this real quick. Bow, myself and Alex have a lot of people on Instagram guys that are scam accounts that copy our profiles and DM you about crypto or oil and that. Just be careful, man. Just make sure. That's not us, dude. It's not us, dude. Hey, unless you're some hot chick, why would I DM you? I'm just joking aside, but dude, why the hell would I DM you asking for money?  Correct, the only way, guys, the only way you're gonna get a DM from any of our team, cause I actually talked to a lot of members through DMs on Instagram, is you have to hit me up first. I'm not just gonna randomly hit people up. So if you're asking about a link or something, yes, that's me, but flesh out the real account. Obviously, does MIC follow that account? Do I follow MIC? Like guys, it's very easy to flush out a real account.  Yeah, dude, don't pay some guy in Bangladesh, man. Two crypto to join MIC, that wasn't us. Get educated in life as well as in stocks, guys. One sec. DTRV, hey, Tosh, what do you watch for on your big cap loan apart from RSI and when do you stop out if it doesn't work? Yeah, buddy, so I don't really day trade big caps. I'm more of an investor on big caps specifically. Now, options is a different story, I kind of like day trades with lines, but when it comes to big caps, I like companies on massive RSI dips and even further than that sometimes just super oversold that I'll start getting in and if it tanks more, I get happy because now I can, I would say averaging down in a really good company is very different from averaging down in a stock. So it's more of, obviously it's what Bao said earlier. If I'm investing in a company, it's very different. I'm throwing in money that if I lost tomorrow, I'd willing to take that bet entirely because I love the company, but a day trade is very different mindset. So, but yes, RSI for big caps is massive, massive edge. So just, but if you can wait for it, if you can wait, it's patience. Added B, yep, I think that, okay, those are all the questions on YouTube. Yeah, guys, see, this is not us, man. Dude, we don't let, guys, I hate to say it because like I love every single one of you, but we don't have time to DM you on Instagram saying, hey, what's up, man? How you doing? No, we're educating, we got a company to run.   I mean, we don't know you on Instagram.  Right, I mean, this is a big learning experience for you. You know, I was like, I'm so sorry, guys. Hey, what's up, man? Hey, talk about this shit, man. Like we don't have our own issues and troubles of life. Hey, what's the worst? The worst, guys, I don't wanna put anybody down. Anything of the worst is when they send it to me and say, is this you?  This is me right now, you know? Is this you? Why would it be me, bro? Yeah, now it's me.  You're asking me, is this you? Why would I just fucking... Anyways, guys, it's just a bit of a film, guys. It's just really funny, guys. It's like we're not gonna ask you for more. Can we take real questions now? Yeah, seriously.  We did have a lot of fun until today. Scamming, man. Like the trader, I'm coming back from a long break from trading. Is there anything in particular that you do to get back into the swing of things after you take a break or a vacation? Bao, I think you're really good at this one.  Bump the breaks. Yeah, watch to see what's going on. Don't get too fomo. Stick to the process, especially... The thing with this, man, when you're so excited to get back and there's huge fomo, he's like, I'll give my toe in the water. And so you would take trades that normally wouldn't do, normally. So you ask yourself, would I do this if that was not so freaking anxious to make the trade?  We talk about this all the time. Oh yeah. Tap, here's a lot of the human issues, human problems, human mistakes you make. Because human mistakes can only be fixed 100% with another human. You can create fences around your things. I see this, okay, so disciplinary issues, discipline issues. I don't want to revenge trade, but I'm gonna hit my max loss and the system takes me out.  You know what I'm saying? So I mean, the technical thing can only go so far. The human factor, you have to trust your tab. Like today I checked them on my tab. I check them on everybody. Every day someone checks on me.  You know, he moves on a trade because if Bow goes quiet, something's going on. Those are the things that you have to have a tab. So take a look at everybody that's successful.  And that's what we set up at MIC for. Not necessarily just only to trade and learn to teach a trade, but to create a community where you can find the tab.  But why are you losing? You're losing because you have discipline issues. You have human problems that can only be fixed with a human being. So I literally said in the beginning of this webinar, bro, I said, anybody that says, hey, I figured out this or I figured out life run from those people. They don't know what they're, dude, they're not open to learning and growing, man. It was like one of the first days I talked about. Let's get a tab. Get a tab.  The problem with getting a tab is now gonna listen to my tab. My tab tells me, stop trading. I'm gonna stop trading. So you end up finding a degenerate tab that matches you. So that's even better though. Okay, you find yourself with a degenerate tab.       When Val looks over and sees someone and says, man, he is in bad shape, that's when you know it's bad. I'm all for this drunk.   Adibigo's is Tai Lopa has a good tab.   Hell yeah, I know it. The worst thing is, they ask, because there's a risk profile you can create in DOS and that option is grayed out that you cannot use it, but some guys ask to be turned on so they turn off their own, they do their own risk profile.   Okay, next question, guys.  So that's the thing, man, get a tab, get a tab. Slides down, slides down. A lot of the errors you can make is by sizing down. Yep. And if you're too early, guys, start one line later. If you're always early, start one line later. That's another trick. John, you can see why this failed little pump right here is like, where's the volume, man? And guys, always pay attention to volume. It's like that is not enough volume to make a real runner. Like this is just gonna peter out. Like I said, if it crosses the 40 to 50% threshold, then you have trouble. If you draw the line of the morning volume that goes up to this level, it didn't even hit 40%. That's how you know something is just not strong enough. Like you need volume to really push the stock. But again, I'm not an advocate of shorting in the last hour, let alone the last half an hour at all no matter what the volume looks like. So be safe. That's why I'm pissed.  I stuck to my rules. So I was like, okay. I think it went past VWAP. You have a value, Bill, good habits. Oh, there's a thing, guys. So I'm looking at that. I don't know what that was going on. I'm looking at the VWAP. It's under VWAP. But the thing is that CELZ, you see they cleaned out both sides. They cleaned out the shorts and the longs. So they closed it out. And this thing was way, this thing, if the VWAP was way lower, that'd be a good long candidate overnight. But it's under VWAP. So it's kind of scary. So I wouldn't touch it for the long sack, okay?  Right now it's that support line.  Overnight is very risky because you have no control what's going on.  The percentages are huge. I can lose. If you're down, you're down huge. Dude. So I just small cash. I avoid overnight most of the time because CLZ is going to become tomorrow's low-hanging fruit which someone asked was a low-hanging fruit.  I hope it goes to 340 again because now the lines are established. Definitely. Addy B was just saying, dude, a good example of 3pm roll. I am P.P. Thanks for showing us, bud. Dude, I'm telling you this last hour, man. Eugh. I am P.P. Petroleum, oil.  Oh, shoot. I mean, I am D.O., too. Bella, don't you get foam on, motherfucker. I'm telling you. You have 20 minutes. I'm going long. Be careful, bro.  I'm going to try something. Oh, boy. Now I'm not long in that stock, though. Dude, you guys try to be tab partners with Bell. He's uncontrollable. I'm trying to learn the sympathy version of it. There you go. Which stock is the sympathy of I am P.P., guys? Is there news? No, dude, there must be news on it. There's no way it goes that much. I don't know. Got to be news of something. There it is. A moment of this. Companies announced earlier the closing of previously disclosed offering. Dude, I am P.P.  Crazy. Announcement is closing. So they closed. So they basically sold 60 million. Jeez. So now they're ready to pump for the next offering. Seriously?  We cleaned all you motherfuckers out.  So I was looking at the INDO because I was simply to that. Who knows? INDO has always been moving with I am P.P., but I'm P.P. is up on this own upper news. So, but there's no. Oh yeah. Here's the 20 day chart. Look at this 20 day chart. That was the offering.  It was a flat line for three days. They cleaned it out already. Ooh, man, I'll tell you one thing, man. Being a short seller for so many years, it is really fun to be caught in one of these. Like every now and then I used to swing and you wake up to this, you're like, damn, my day's done. The week is done. Your month is done. I don't swing trade small caps, especially on the short side anymore, but that's a pretty fun morning to wake up to.  I miss those days, man. Me and Alex used to swing short everything back like five years ago.   You just can't do it anymore. But God damn, that used to be fun, man. I remember the olden days. Things change, guys. Who's that? ENSV and INDL, yep. Ooh, CLZ. C-E-L-Z, man. They caught these chasers, man. They caught these chasers under water. Ooh.  That's a fakey, fakey, fakey. Boom.  Let's see if it breaks 285. You and your webinars. That was like, I lost money because it's damn weak. This webinar. I could have nailed it. It's like walking on a bar and be like, man, left early, all those girls were there. I could have nailed it. Yep. If I just had two more hours at that bar. Guys, any closing questions before we call last call on this webinar? Any closing questions, like 10 more minutes.  Man, these are always so much fun, man. Woody, low-hanging fruit for... Oh, my God.  Could have nailed it. Low-hanging fruit for tomorrow on CLZ? Absolutely, man. Absolutely. Hopefully it closes right here and doesn't break down too much.  Now that's a naked short. No, that's me, man. I'm not joking.  Dammit.  You guys cannot make fun because you guys are... You guys are going to hell, man.   I'm fat, I can make fat jokes. I'm old, I can make old jokes. I'm alcoholic, I can make degenerate jokes. That was like, I'm trying to corner every topic of discussion possible for Joe, telling, oh, hey, remember when... Val, you love Seinfeld. Remember when Tim Wotley converted to Judaism? He's like, he's converted just for the jokes. Hey, I have a white friend, so can I make white jokes? Yeah, sure, why not? Yeah, so now I just need to marry, like, a race that has the ultimate jokes. Oh yeah, man. Dude, I'm telling you, man, this world is so beta anyways. Dude, you can call me a honky if you want.  Everybody's so sensitive, man. Make the jokes, dude. It's all funny. I don't like calling someone a honky and makes them feel bad.  Dude, we just live in this generation where everybody's so sensitive over everything, man. It's crazy to me. Just endless beta men. Where are the alphas, man? Where are the alphas? Well, I'm trying to figure out, like, the origins of that word. Well, honky? But I was like, how come white people are called honky? Oh, dude, Cracker's a bad one, though. I actually looked up one time why they're called, dude, that's a terrible one. Like, the history of that, I was like, oh my God, that's bad. I'm not even gonna say it. You guys can Google that if you want, but I was like, Jesus Christ.  Oh my God. Yeah, that's not your style, is it?   Cancel bow.   I made a curse word, they're gonna cancel me because cursing in maybe 50 years from now is outlawed and chained upon, right? I said too many F words. So eventually breathing is gonna be illegal. They're gonna be like, you're breathing air, man. That's what sucks, dude. It's kind of like, man, unfortunately, if the culture accepts it at that time, sometimes people make jokes about it. Doesn't mean that they're bad people. They just, at that time, it was unaware, right?  Bro, my favorite bow. And actually, I think you're actually a lot like him. You're like the Vietnamese version of Bill Burr. You know who Bill Burr is, the standup comedian, right? Bro, he says everything on his mind. And you know, he's just a funny guy. Like he's just a comedian.   He's meant to make jokes. Here, if you guys don't know who I'm talking about, I'll show you the light version of bow. Here you go. This is bow if he was a light guy. Dude, he has no hair. No, we're not talking about physical appearance.  Hey, but his wife is African-American. Oh, nice. There you go. Yeah. I think so. No, I was looking away. He's got joke telling immunity. He could probably tell me joke he wants. Good. Yeah. Tim Watley. Dude, Bill Burr is literally like my favorite guy on the planet right now. He's just hysterical, man. All right, guys. Any last minute questions seriously on trading or this webinar or anything to help you for looking for tomorrow, anything? Who on YouTube wants to join but is unable to join and why? Is there money and how much money you're lacking? Yeah, yeah, actually. Maybe we'll talk to someone about it. If you speak up. There are some people that I show up every day. I mean, every webinar. I'm just really curious as to, because maybe we can help you out. Alex has been giving away like free monthly's to some people, things like that. So text Tosh and tell him why. If you wanted to join, why have you not? Be honest. Money issues. I mean, that's the same thing. But you know what, man? You have to have money also to trade.  You have no money to trade. Well, guys, the power of proximity is everything, right? Like they say like your network is your net worth. It's true because like, dude, even if I didn't have, like say this was nine years ago, right? And I only had $2,500 to my name. I wouldn't try to trade that money. I try to get in a community like MIC or, and I'm not, look, I'm not even just plugging us. I'm just saying you got to get in the proximity of people who are doing what you want to be doing. It's going to rub off. It's going to motivate.   Excitement and then there's your money. Like it's just, it just makes sense, man. Proximity is everything. Yeah. Maybe you have issues and stuff. Let's talk to Tosh. We can make some exception. Yeah, that's a different story for sure. I mean, dude, there's, there's literally like third row of countries. Oh, what happened is we, we used to have that. For those that didn't know we used to have monthly, you know, but the problem monthly is people was not serious about it. They go in to cause trouble and then they leave. And then what happens is you can't learn in one month, man. And so the ones that come and join and leave, they blame it on us. And I'm like, dude, nice.   I have a gym membership.  Am I going to blame on the gym?   Right? The trainer told me to do this. I'm fucking, I went to eat McDonald's. The training guy, for some reason in training, look at him, he joined MIC, but then he's not a millionaire.  If all of us are listening to our parents, don't drink alcohol, go to bed early, go to school, you know?  You'll be, you'll have a fantastic job, guys. Good health, but we don't, right?  So that's the thing with human nature, guys. So discipline is very difficult.  I have to wake up to help MIC. So those are the fences I've put around myself. So if it takes joining a community like MIC and making friends to keep you in check, then do it. Because without a community like MIC, dude, I'd be degenerate somewhere else.  Bro, I was literally just thinking that. Could you imagine the days where all we did was trade and then like maybe after the first hour, like you literally have nothing else to do? Bro, it's like suicidal depression.  Dude, that was me, dude. Bro, it was all of us.   Bro, like drink all day into a coma because there's nothing else to do. So it's like, it's like, bro, MIC saved your life.  You fuckers. I think you might need some therapy first, bro. Therapy is only for people that have problems. Yo, if someone quote Val and put that on a t-shirt, therapy is only for people that have problems, modern rock. Yeah, rehabs for quitters.   Yeah, we're gonna have to do a clinic here in a bit. Yep. Oh my God, bro, that's a funny. Over-trading is an addiction, guys. It's when you use, it's like going to the slot machines, they do the lights, it blinks and then it gets you addicted because there's the reward system in your brain, right?  Same with making a good trade, guys. So you have to be very conscious of that, that sometimes over-trading, because you're bored, because you need this constant stimulation, the problem, that's the thing, man. I can't go back to a new job. I need constant, constant, constant dopamine. That's why I drink whatever the hell it may be. So be conscious of that. Being a trader, you need to have a good support system. And I'm telling you, man, MIC has great people and without these great people, I would not be where I am. I probably wouldn't need to work, because I don't need to work. I have enough not to work, but I feel great now.  So, and I'm a good example, guys, seriously, if you don't need to be perfect to make money and to do well in life, I'm not perfect, man. I show up maybe three times a week and I'm, you know, but you know, if you're more disciplined than I am nowadays, I used to be very disciplined, but nowadays I'm not, because I don't need to be, but I want to be, then you'll do great. Think about this, man.  Fuck, imagine what you could do. Imagine if you applied yourself, you know? That's what I'm saying, guys. I'll give you guys a motivation. Don't, like, dude, I set the bar pretty low for myself.  Follow the process, guys. Follow the process. And if you take a look at all the people in my MIC learning, man, all the moderators, they came from knowing nothing, but now train the MIC way, you know? The process, dude, it's fucking, look what they're doing, man. Tony's been around. How are you doing, Tony? Seriously.  So, I mean, a lot of people here is like I've known him for a long time. You see?  And those guys are doing well because they're committed and they, you know, this is not just a, you know, like a monthly thing for them. This is their life. So, Tony, man, he was telling me he quit his job, right, Tony, did you quit your job? Maybe we'll have you on a podcast one day.  I told him, don't do it, don't quit your job, but he did it. And I hope that hopefully things are going good, Tony. Dude. Am I getting the right Tony? Right, this is the Las Vegas guy, right? Tony? I think so. Yep. Yep, so good. It looks like you're doing jiu-jitsu with a dragon in the background or something. But you love, you love what you're doing, right, Tony?  So that's the thing. So if you make it your passion, dude, it's like, it's not even like coming to work. I love doing this. So for me, I'm coming to get my medicine. My medicine's the nature to help people, right? So this is a good thing.  Your medicine was Hennessy. Yep.  It's just dude, just happy, man.  The thing is I used to love going to being an engineer, but at some point in your life, you know, you reached it.  So I enjoy what I do now. So. Well, it's like chapters, right? It's like, wow, just because you had a previous chapter doesn't mean that goes on forever, right? Like you got what you needed out of it. On to the next chapter. Yep. Like growth, man.  Forget the webinars.  That's what I mean. Yeah. He's like number one stalker. I love it. Bring the M-I-C flag. I love it, Tony, man. Keep doing it, dude.  I'm gonna fucking, hopefully I'm gonna be doing this until my life is still around, but that's my intention, man.   Let me see. Fuck, where is this shit? That's hysterical, Bobby. They win, all the wins, man. That's hysterical, man. I know how many wins do we have in here, man? Seriously, we have a lot. I think we're like the chat room with the most ethnic makeup. Like, I mean, gosh. Bro, we are 100% the most- Yeah, women, moderators, we have male moderators. We have every ethnic race you can imagine. No, for the love of God, dude, the three creators are Caucasian and Middle, or an European, Middle Eastern and Asian. Dude, it's like you can't get more diversified. Dude, I think we, you know, I support immigrants. I support everybody. So, I mean, this is why it is, man. It's an open family, and so this, so I'm like, you know, don't ever be afraid, man. I grew up very poor, I understand. Dude, it's super diversified. That's why I said to guys on YouTube, guys, talk to Tosh, text him, and see what's going on, man, because, you know, we can run other programs. You know, we see you around at the meet-ups, man, because if we're near your town, you know, show up, guys. Say hello. Definitely. All right, guys, I think that's pretty much everything. I'll close this out before you get deafened by the TD Ameritrade closing bell. Dude, so right now, you know, just if you have any questions, guys, just text me, obviously at two, one, three, four, five, eight, five, nine, nine, seven, like I showed you earlier, and then we'll be back in the after hours channel or wherever to talk about anything. So here's your chance to network and get back, and, guys, we'll see you next week. Yup, and the guys on YouTube, this is your chance to text Tosh. Yup, text me at two, one, three, four, five, eight, five, nine, nine, seven. And, guys, if you have any questions, broker liaison for Success Trainer to get started. Yes, sir. Super fun as always, guys. Val, catch you next week, buddy. Hi, man. See you guys back in the- Hi, guys. After hours.


Hi, I'm IMPI. Hi, and I brought you by Digikey. Don't forget who it is. Brady, my performance meet. First matter as much, Brady. That's this week's new product introduction. She liked your logo. It's kind of a cool logo, right? Yeah. What is this new, interesting product this week? OK, so this week's IMPI is a labeler. And you're probably like, yeah, OK. So I can get a labeler at my local stationery store. Why don't you talk about a labeler?  But the more I actually started, no.  It's actually a really cool product. I love it. So sometimes, you know, I purchase one of the IMPIs to review it. And I kind of tend to give them away to people.  Maybe, you know, are you like this tool or this screwdriver kit? This one I'm keeping. And this is a really nice product. And the prices, of course, are really good as well. So there's two versions. There's the M210 and the M210 lab. I'm going to talk about the M210. But the lab version is for people who are working in a chemistry or biology lab. And it handles vials, printing a little bit better. I think there's a couple other changes with what symbols are available or whatever. But I'm going to talk about the M210, which is good for general purpose. So I have a labeler already that I have used for labeled boxes and sometimes PCBs or samples, whatever. And it's a crafting style like home labeler. So it has like cute icons. And you can do like a couple of different fonts. This is a labeler specifically for engineers and makers and scientists and chemists and electricians and people who are working with technology. And you'll see there's a lot of specific things that it does that you will not get in other labelers, but you're basically paying for the same price. So first off, yes, it is ruggedized. It comes with, if you go back one, it comes with a really nice rubber grip outside. Everything is nicely protected. It's not going to crack in half and break if you drop it. Not that you should drop it. And OK, so I can go back one. It can take either DC power or batteries. Or there's actually a rechargeable battery pack. You can use. It's really fast to change up the cartridges. I'll do a demo. Languages, nice keypad. That's really easy and nice to use. Everything's nicely labeled. Nice and hefty. But it's a lot of the other little details that like the QR codes and modes that make this so cool. So first up, maybe you can go to me really fast and just hold it really quickly and just hold it up. Here's how big it is. So it's a little bit big. There's a little edit screen. And you type on the keypad. It does not connect to a computer. You have to use it like standalone. There's a version that's connected to a computer. Maybe I'll cover it in the future INPI. OK, so go back to the edit screen. So you have an edit screen. And you can have multiple lines, which is another thing. A lot of laborers don't let you have multiple lines. You can also do single line if you want and just pick a font that's bigger and it will stretch to be the full size. But you have multiple lines of text. You can select different sized fonts by pixels. You can do bold or not bold. There's a lot of like extra capabilities. There's lowercase, uppercase, battery life. So that's kind of like only the number of text lines is a little unusual, just not supported. What I need is it has languages. Like my hobby labeler doesn't have multiple languages or fonts. So this one, they're all, I will admit, they're all like romantic fonts in that they use. Like you're not going to get Farsi. You're not going to get Hebrew. There's a Russian version. You can get Cyrillic. But at least you can get like Swedish and French and Spanish and German and Dutch and a lot of very popular European languages. So there are multiple language support. You can select that. And in addition, there's also Greek fonts. So even though they don't have the interface in Greek, you can type in Greek, which is useful because you're going to want Pi and Mu and Omega and Sigma and Theta and all these symbols and Delta that when you're entering in mathematical or scientific symbols, you'll want to use the Greek symbol, especially electronics use Mu and Omega A time. Okay, and Sigma sometimes. All right, next up, lots of fun symbols. So, you know, my hobby, thermal hobby labeler has like a cloud and like a happy face. This one has symbols of like how you're going to die. So electrocution, radiation and ground faults, but also a lot of electrical symbols as well. So, you know, grounds and batteries and tenets, speakers, diode, et cetera. Home electrical, this is definitely, you know, if you're electrician or you do facilities maintenance typestaff or telecom maintenance, they have all the icons you'll need to quickly label stuff without having to type out washing machine. There's a symbol for washing machine or, you know, like cold water, this direction. They have the arrow ready for you. Another nice thing that you're going to get and I just thought was super cool is QR and data matrix support. I can show now or maybe at the end we'll show the overhead, I printed out a couple QR codes and yeah, they print out perfectly. Okay, just, yeah, so, yeah. So this is like a QR code I printed.  And it's also just data fruit, but this is a true QR code and it scanned on my phone so I know it works. And here's some other symbols, you know, printed out. So like, yeah, it's exploding. Yeah, it's a very nice quality printer. Okay, so, okay, so there's codes. So, you know, data matrix, barcodes, code 39, code 128. It'll even print out the text underneath it. And you can see how there's an outline on the text. That's how you know what's going to go inside. You know, you use the arrow keys to get inside that box and you type in what you want to appear within the data matrix or QR code. Serialization, this is very neat. If you want to serialize, you know, you want to start with a number 1,000 and you end at 1,000. Oh, this is cool. 2,000, it will automatically print out. As you press print, each one will increment and you can change the increment value as well. And it does alpha numerics. Yeah, so it's like, I have been there where I was like, oh man, I have. This is good if you have a maker company and you even want to have like some type of number.  And I had to survive like wet, plyo, mud, dirt, typhoon. And I would have absolutely used this to just like quickly label each one on the back. Instead I had to like sit there with a Sharpie and like try to, I Sharpied and then I put tape over it to protect it. I could have just used this label which didn't exist at the time. Okay, serialization, very cool. I've never seen this on a label before. Time stamping and date coding. So there is a built-in RTC. You can set the date and time. And so I didn't show, there's a different screen where you set the current date and time. Once you've set it, you can then insert time stamps so that when you print out the label, it will print out with the exact time it was printed. So like at the time and different formats and they have like every ISO format for time and date. So really neat. And you can of course save, I didn't show this but there's a way to save the label. We can call it later. So if you have to like timestamp multiple things. Somebody said, does it support ISO dates? It supports every date format, believe me. Interesting, panel residential, if you do electrical work and you're constantly printing out labels for electrical panels, these are all built in. You can tell it, like you can just check off which ones you want and we'll pre- It's like made by someone who did stuff. This is absolutely made by someone who's like, I am never typing in bedroom four again. And it can pre-print length wise. You don't have to print like length, it can print like width wise. And so you see that label, it prints out each one in order with the correct spacing, specifically for breaker panels. And there's a breaker panel mode.  So the thing I thought was so neat, like all that stuff was very cool, but the water management is like amazing. So first off, it can do flags automatically and it does the, you tell it the cable diameter and it will do the right distance between the text. So you can flag the text. So this is a flag, that's what it looks like.  It's like, I don't want it to like flip around. They also have wrap around self-laminating style where you can, you print it and then you wrap it around the cable to like secure it. There's also a version that can like rotate, but I didn't want to show that because I didn't find it interesting. The most interesting, you can print on heat shrink with this device. So if you go to the overhead, this, hold on, I gotta eject this cartridge because I was actually using it. So this is heat shrink that comes on a reel and then you can print out. And like, you know, I just, oh yeah. You can, I don't know, it's like, of course it's gonna like not show in a second. No, you could tell when you bent it that that was heat shrink, but. Yeah, it's, I'm sorry. It's like I'm not able to show it very well because it's like, it's heat shrink. So when you shrink it onto the cable, you could have like these beautiful labels. It comes with a couple of different thicknesses. This is just the one that Gigi gave Doc. So, you know, like permanent wire marking that's very beautiful and easy to read each time.  It's like, you have to remember the number of the colors. It's like, no, black is zero one. I'd rather just have it labeled this way. So this is just like their demo shot of it. Okay. So very cool. And you can buy these. There's at least 50 in stock.  The price is really good. There's also a kit that comes with a lot more like comes with the battery pack and the DC supply. This is just, you know, it doesn't even come with batteries. You have to include the batteries. It does come with one thing of tape. I don't know how long it is. It's three quarters inch thick, wide and it's nylon cloth. And this is fine to get started with, but you know, did you keep stocks like 4,000 different tapes? Yeah. So I was expecting it to be like 500 bucks. It's not $129. Like this is a pretty good deal. Yeah. So I'm going to say, like, I didn't see this IMPI before the show because we were like racing to get the, the show. This is really neat. This is like one of the best. So I think I've had so many crappy label printers. This is really cool. No, I'm keeping it. I was like, I was like, I'll give it to Garrett. And I'm like, you know what it is?  There's no commission. So the thing I like about this is like, clearly someone had a terrible life and they were surrounded by label printers. And they're like, I am going to fix this one problem because there's like, I've had label printers. I'm like, man, I wish it didn't criminal things. I wish it did. I wish I could store these things. I wish I could do this. And now I'm like, there's QR codes that I'd want to do. Like, this is really, this is really good. Yeah. I will say that. Yeah. This is what the one thing is that, you know, you do have to buy the consumables. You have to, you know, buy the cartridges. Yeah. So you work that into your cost. I think for the labor it saves you, it's well worth it. And again, it comes in everything. I do your math and everything, but like, yeah. So just from my point of view, especially since it has a full keyboard, the next time, instead of like reaching for, I have like, you know, the product beat touch or whatever that breaks and just get another one. Yeah. I think I'm going to switch to this. Yeah. And then we'll report back later. But this looks good. Yeah. Anyways, that's the NMPI. So that's pretty great.


How to differentiate Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a cabling? The quickest way to see the difference between the cables is on the outer sheath of the cable. The sheath contains codes and markings to clarify what type of cable it is. In some cases, it may be a part code that is easily searched for clarification. Telling the difference between Cat5e and Cat6 or Cat6a is visually straightforward. The Cat6 versions will have a plastic central divider whereas the Cat5e will not. However, the visual look of Cat6 and Cat6a is quite similar. One visual difference if you have both cables is that the Cat6a cable is larger in diameter and size. It will also feel physically stiffer. If you have a single cable with a central divider and you are unsure of the cable type then the outer cable sheath markings are the best way to tell.


I have a question for you Socrates. Can goodness be taught, or do we acquire it through practice? Or if humans become good neither by teaching nor by practice, then perhaps it comes to us by nature, or in some other way. Me know, there was a time when people from Thessaly were famous among the Greeks, only for riches and horse riding. Now, if I'm not mistaken, you are equally famous for wisdom, especially at Larissa, the native city of your friend Aristipus. Gorgias is responsible for this. When Gorgias went there, the best young minds fell in love with his wisdom, including your lover Aristipus and the other leaders of Thessaly. He taught you the habit of answering questions in the grand and bold style of those who know. This is the style in which Gorgias answers all questions. Any Greek may ask him anything. My dear me know, things are quite different here in Athens. Wisdom is a scarce commodity. It seems to have relocated from us to you. I'm sure that if you were to ask the Athenians whether goodness is natural or acquired, they would laugh in your face. They would probably say, Stranger, you have far too good an opinion of me. If I were inspired, I might answer your question. But I don't even know the meaning of goodness, much less whether or not it is acquired by teaching. Me know, I live in this impoverished land and I am as poor as the rest of its citizens. I confess with shame that I know nothing about goodness. So if I don't know what it is, how can I know its qualities? If I knew nothing at all about Me know, how could I tell whether he was handsome, rich and noble or the opposite of these qualities? Do you think I could? Of course not. But Socrates, are you serious when you say you don't know the meaning of goodness? Do you want me to report that news when I go back home? My dear Me know, you can tell them that and you can also say that in my opinion I've never known of anyone else who did. Didn't you meet Gorgias when he was here in Athens? Yes, I did. And don't you think that he knew? I don't have a good memory Me know so I can't tell what I thought of him at the time. I suppose he did know and that you know what he said. Remind me of how he put it. Or maybe you would rather tell me your own view. I suspect that you and he agree. We do. Well, he isn't here so let's forget about him. Me know, please be so kind as to tell me what you think goodness. Sample complete. Ready to continue?


Have you seen any, like, recent Democrat rallies or anything? Like, they literally, there's never a single flag all over the place. And there's Democrat rallies. Like, there's, like, Communists are in the Democrat party. That's Wittering, buddy. I just wonder if you... That's Wittering. Right there. I know that's a new thing, yeah. Moscow Mitch. You know why? Because they're just trying to get stuff on tape. From the oligarchs in Russia? I mean, so who do you win? What's your CQB believe in? Nope. QAnon? Are you guys with QAnon? That's hilarious. Everybody always thinks that's a QAnon shirt. It's not. Well, what is it? That's my logo. Oh, that's your logo? Yeah. Okay, well, who are you? Drone Tech politics. Drone Tech. Drone Tech, yeah. Okay, so where's your drone? Good one.


Thank you very much. And I would like to start also by thanking the organizers for inviting me here. So what I would like to tell you about in this first talk of these mini symposium on topology is our work on topology of density matrices and their detection. Now, topological states of meta, of course, interesting or very interesting, and I probably don't have to tell this, basically for two reasons. The first reason is that topological systems can have very exciting, exotic quantum states, like anionic excitations on top of a fraction quantum Hall system, which can be used also in connection with quantum information. And likewise, since topological systems are characterized by integer quantum numbers, whenever you have a spatial border between the two systems having different quantum numbers, something has to happen. And what's happened there is that there are edge states which are protected, so you can have protected edge states and edge transport. So all of these features are very nice, but there are a couple of questions open. And the first question I want to address is simply what is left from topology if you go to a system which has a finite temperature? So most of the things which we know about topological systems are actually defined as properties of the ground state wave function of a single body or a many body problem. And maybe even more interesting is the question can we extend the notion of topology to a driven systems out of equilibrium? Why could that be interesting? Well, if we have, say, the steady state of a driven dissipative system, which is a unique attractor of the dynamics, then it basically means that if you perturb the system slightly that the system tries to bring itself back to that state, so there's a built-in protection of these kind of systems. And so the idea is, can we actually connect topological protection, which protects you, for example, the edge current of a quantum whole system is insensitive to this order, but it's not insensitive to losses. So the question is, can we combine this and maybe even make it insensitive to losses? OK, so in fact, I will not try to talk about topology in the very general sense of open systems, but I will restrict myself to non-interacting fermion models. And the reason is that even for closed systems, this is a field which is mostly understood because we know that just by characterizing the property of a single particle Hamiltonian with respect to time reversal, charge conjugation, and the combination of the two, we can get a complete classification of all sorts of topological insulators in free fermion models. So in essence, I would like to concentrate on something similar to free fermion models. And the analog of free fermion systems for mixed states are Gaussian systems, Gaussian fermionic systems. Gaussian systems are characterized by a density matrix which is completely determined by single particle correlations. And in fact, you can write the density matrix in this way where this 2 by 2 matrix can just be written as any sort of combination of single particle correlations. And Gaussian systems are systems where the Hamiltonian is a big quadratic in fermion operators, and maybe there's a coupling to reservoirs which are described by Lindblad operators, which are linear in the fermions. So this is more or less the setting which I would like to discuss now. OK, so the first question to ask is if we go from a closed system to open systems, what are potential topological invariants which we can use to classify these systems? And in fact, I would like to point out that many of these known topological invariants actually fail if you go to mixed states. However, there is one which can be used, and this is the polarization. And the polarization is actually directly connected to topological charge pumps. So after first introducing what I suggest as a topological invariant for open systems, I will discuss topological pumps at finer temperature, and also this external drive and dissipation. And out of this, I will define a generalization of a geometric phase, what we call the ensemble geometric phase, which allows us to classify topology in these open systems. And at the end, I will tell a little bit about how to actually detect polarization and how to realize what we call an effective Hamiltonian which will come up in that context. Okay, so let me start and tell you a little bit about things which you may know already very well, namely about topological invariants. For the systems I'm interested in, they are basically described by geometric phases, like the berry phase or in the case of a lattice Hamiltonian and the Zuck phase. And if you have a one-dimensional system and you have a Hamiltonian depending on a certain parameter and you change this parameter in a closed loop, then this phase here can have some, has to return to itself, multiples of two pi, and this winding number which shows up there is actually a topological invariant. Now, in 2D systems, you don't even need to have an external parameter because then typically you have two internal parameters like a momentum in X and Y direction, and that defines a churn number, which again is an integer invariant characterizing the topological insulator. Now, both of them are actually tightly connected to a measurable quantity, and this has been pointed out by Tauels, Komodo, Nightingale, and Denise in the early 80s who showed that in a topological insulator if the Zuck phase has a non-trivial winding, this is related to a transport of charge or transport of particles in the bulk of the system. Now, just to illustrate this a little bit, let's have a look at a very simple model, maybe the simplest one which you can think of in one dimension, this is the Zuschriefer-Hegger model. These are basically fermions hopping on a bipartite lattice with alternating hopping amplitudes T1 and T2 at half filling, and this model has chiral symmetry, and if you calculate for this model the Zuck phase, you find that it can take on only two values, namely either zero or pi, and in fact you can go from here to here by exchanging the two tunneling rates T1 and T2. Now, if you look at the bulk of the system, you immediately recognize that these two phases don't, they're not different, they're actually identical. However, if you make a cut somewhere, then you realize that the two cases differ by the properties of the edge here, so here there's a single edge state, here there's none. This is a two-band model, so we have of course, the spectrum is just consists of two bands, and it looks identical in the case that T1 is less than T2 or T1 is larger than T2. Now, if you want to go from here to here directly by just changing the two hopping constants, then we see that it's not possible directly without closing the energy gap. So in other words, you cannot connect this one phase with the other without going through a phase transition. There's a way around that, however, and this way around has been looked at by Reiss and Meiler also in the 80s. They just said, well, let's add a staggered potential, so let's move the energy of one letter side down and the other one and the next one up by the same amount. This then actually breaks the chiral symmetry, and now the situation is slightly different because now you have a two-dimensional parameter space, you have the difference of the two hopping rates and you have this staggered potential. The SSH model lives on this green line here and the center point is the one where there is a phase transition where the two bands touch. Now it is however possible to connect the points on the two sides if you just go around this singularity and this is what is called a charge pump. So let's see what's gonna happen here. So let's start at this place over here and let's introduce a cut which has an edge state and let's assume this edge state is empty in the beginning and now let's just go around in the parameter space. The system always stays in the gap phase, so there's no gap closing because we avoid this point and if you go one cycle around, you realize that now there is one particle sitting here at the edge. So this is exactly this relation put forward by towels is that the quantization of the change of the Zuck phase is directly related to topological pumps. Okay, so this is all well known and now the question is what is gonna change if you go to system with a finer temperature or even systems which are out of equilibrium, then the system is described by a density matrix and so in general there is no easy way of defining a geometric phase. So the second question is what about these pumps, these charge pumps and what one realizes is actually that as soon as you add for example temperature to the system, the transport of charge is no longer quantized. This is a paper by Matthias Trojas' group and here you see the quantized charge as a function of the temperature in units of the gap and as you can see, as soon as the temperature gets comparable to the energy gap the transport is no longer quantized and this is what you would expect because you partially occupy the excited band which has a transport in the opposite direction so these two counteract and eventually cancel each other completely. So this means that also topological pumps or the charge transport is no longer a good quantity to look at topological properties at a finer temperature. However, there is a third quantity which in the for ground state systems is directly related to the other two and this is the polarization and it has been shown by King Smith and Thunderbolt in the also in the early 80s that also the change of a polarization in units of the cell length of the unit cell is identical to the change of the Zuck phase. Now what the polarization is is in essence just the center of mass of the electron wave function within the unit cell. It turns out however that this definition of polarization is not so useful so what we are looking at is in the generalization of this put forward by Resta which is applicable also to systems which have periodic boundary conditions. So if you would for a moment just pull the logarithm inside here you would immediately see that these two here just agree because as X is nothing else in the center of mass on this complete ring. One thing which you notice however is what the polarization is actually measuring it measures the phase of the expectation value of a unitary and since it's a phase it changes have to be quantized by construction if you make a closed loop and parameter space because the phase has to go back to itself or to multiple or multiples of two pi if you make a closed loop and parameter space. The good thing however is that polarization you can evaluate for all states. It does not have to be ground states does not have to be non-interacting systems can be an interacting system and it can in particular also be a mixed state. So we can evaluate this with a density matrix. Okay so let's do that. Let's have a look what polarization is actually doing if we look at topological pumps. So the first model I want to look at is again this Reismiller model is a very simple model but now at final temperature. Now if we look at zero temperature and plot the polarization as a function of the two parameters the difference of the two hoppings and the staggered potential then you can see that if we go around the parameter space around this degeneracy point then the polarization winds by one unit and that's what we would expect because that's related to the change of the Zuck phase that's related to the particle transport. Now the question is what happens if we add temperature to the game and let's add a temperature which is much higher than the energy gap in the system. So this is here T equal to 100 in units of the energy gap at a certain point in parameter space and now what you see that the polarization qualitatively changes but the important thing is what does not change is the winding. So if you go around the singularity you still pick up a winding of exactly one unit in the system and the winding is not dying out. And in fact what we just see even more interesting is that this property remains if you crank up the temperature even more and it only changes if you hit T equal to infinity since this is a two band model we can in principle go above T infinity and go to negative temperatures and as soon as we do this if you go from positive temperatures to negative temperatures then all what's gonna happen is that now the sign of the polarization winding changes. So it looks like that the polarization in some sense picks up the topology of the most populated band for positive temperatures. It's a lower one and a two band model and for the negative temperatures is the upper one and that is what seems to happen here. Now let me introduce the second model which doesn't even have a Hamiltonian and there is no temperature which is a system which is entirely driven by external reservoirs. So again this is a one dimensional model and a one dimensional model of spins and as you can see from the color code I'm going to set it up in a way that it has a unit cell of two sides and the way I do this is I couple the system to reservoirs only. So there's no Hamiltonian one could add one but it's not really needed. So it's essential that we have only a Lindbladian drive and I assume that there are two types of Lindblad operators in order to have something non-trivial they should talk to at least two neighboring sides. So I consider some reservoirs LA which always couple the sides within one unit cell and then I consider a second type of Lindbladians which couple the sides of neighboring unit cells and most importantly these Lindblad operators are linear and they're far beyond creation and annihilations so there is a steady state and the steady state is Gaussian and therefore we can calculate everything and determine all the properties almost analytically. Now let's see what these Lindblad generators what they are doing. So there are two parameters there's this parameter epsilon there's this parameter lambda so let's first look at this parameter lambda if we put lambda equal to plus one then only these terms here remain and what the in essence are doing is that they take out excitation from the green sides and put this them into the blue sides and likewise the other one takes out excitation from the green side and puts it in the blue sides and if we take lambda equal to minus one then only this term survives and then it's exactly the other way around that excitation is taken from the blue side into the green sides and also here and then there's a second parameter which is this epsilon which basically controls the coupling strengths to the upper reservoirs and the coupling strength to the lower reservoir so we have a two parameter space Lindbladian and therefore the steady state of the system is determined by these two parameters now if we calculate for this model also the polarization as a function of these two parameters then we find that the polarization actually also shows a winding so therefore we can argue that there's a topological feature here namely that if you go on parameter space around this critical point here then you see a winding of one unit of the polarization now this is an open driven system and I started off with the motivation that these open driven systems could show some enhanced robustness against perturbations and so let me look at this a little bit more in detail so if we add to the model Hamiltonian disorder so what I plotted here is the polarization when you go around this loop proportional to the angle phi and as you can see Hamiltonian disorder does change the polarization slightly at some points but does not affect the winding and by the way does also not affect the symmetry protected points at pi and zero which are exactly the same now you could ask the question what's gonna happen if I add losses so if I add dissipation to the system is it still surviving and so this is a result here these are homogeneous local losses so independent losses on all the sides and as you can see again there is almost no effect the winding stays the same and the symmetry protected points have exactly the same values as before so this is an example where in a driven system you can have protection topological protection against losses okay now the question is maybe by now I have convinced you that polarization is a good measure to detect topological properties for mixed states now the question is can we understand this a bit better can we actually construct something like a geometric phase for the ensemble and for this let me go back and show you this numerical calculation for the final temperature rise mailer model this is done for a small system of eight sides this again is the angle and this is for different temperatures for low temperatures or t equal to zero essentially is the line in the center and then for high temperatures are these curves which wind which have these steps now if you increase the system size so if you go to 64 sites then the picture looks like this if you go to 256 side the picture looks like this and if you go to 512 sites the picture looks like this so what you can see here is that if we increase the system size the polarization at final temperature seems to approach the value at zero temperature and in fact this is what we could show analytically you can show that the polarization of the steady state of any unique steady state of a Gaussian system it does not have to be a thermal system it can be any Gaussian system it's actually given by the polarization of a pure state plus some correction which scales away with the inverse of the system size and this state here turns out to be the ground state of some Hamiltonian and this Hamiltonian is this effective Hamiltonian which is where the single particle Hamiltonian matrix is in essence the single particle correlation function of the fermionic system at final temperature or in the steady state now and now this of course and then there comes something on top of it if you look at the winding of the polarization I told you this has to be an integer so the winding of this has to be an integer the winding of this has to be an integer so therefore this has to be an integer as well but it also has to scale away with the system size so the only integer which is compatible to this is zero and as a consequence the winding of the polarization in any Gaussian steady state is actually identical to the winding of a pure state polarization of in a pure state and this pure state is the ground state of this effective Hamiltonian now for finite temperature models one can actually show that this matrix is directly related to the Hamiltonian so that's why we saw in the in the Reiss-Meyler model that we pick up essentially what we get at T equal to zero so now since we have this now we can define a geometric phase and this is nothing else than the Zuck phase of this pure state and this can be applied not only to systems at a finite temperature but also at steady states of open systems where there is even not a Hamiltonian but there is a single particle correlation matrix okay so what this shows is that one can classify the topology of Gaussian fermionic models just in terms of the effective of this effective Hamiltonian so in terms of the single particle correlators and so this was actually already conjectured in a paper by Charles Barlin and Sebastian some time ago and is now more or less now proven by this is actually the case and there's two interesting conclusions from that is namely we can also understand when a topological phase transition can happen well it can happen under two conditions and the first condition is that the steady state is no longer unique so if a damping gap closes and there's a second solution which is also infinitely long-lived then there can be a topological phase transition this is the analog in essence to the closing of an Hamiltonian gap and the second possibility is that the gap of this effective Hamiltonian here closes and there may actually be interesting extension to interacting systems but I don't have time to talk about this now unless you ask me in a question session and now we can understand why for example in the finite temperature rise Miele model the phase transition happened at infinite temperature because for a thermal state the correlation matrix is just given by the Hamiltonian itself multiplied by the inverse temperature so topological transition can happen either when the energy gap of the Hamiltonian underlying Hamiltonian closes or when the temperature goes to infinity and that's exactly what we observed here we can also understand why in this reservoir induced topological pump at this point here at the center is a topological singularity because if you calculate for this model the damping spectrum first of all you don't see anything interesting happening here but if you calculate the spectrum of the single particle correlator you find that it has actually a touching point exactly at the center and that is the reason for the topological phase transition okay so now I told you that polarization or I hope I convinced you that polarization and the related ensemble geometric phase are good candidates for classifying topology and mixed systems but now of course we know there is no quantized transport so how do we actually detect these properties this quantity and so here's a proposal based on an interferometric detection scheme so this is a simple machsina interferometer in one arm there's a fixed phase shift and in the other arm we put our one-dimensional fermion lattice and we assume that the fermions interact off-resonantly with a light mode which propagates through here and in essence what this gives is just a kernel linearity proportional to the density of fermions and now if we choose the mode function of the light mode going through here to have a gradient and along the axis of the lattice then in essence the effective Hamiltonian is proportional to the center of mass of the fermions so this is the center of mass operator and as a consequence the photons which goes through the interferometer will pick up a unitary if you choose the parameter in the right way will pick up a unitary which exactly corresponds to the expectation to the exponent of two pi i over l times x which is the operator which determines the many-body polarization if the photon runs through this arm and if it runs through the upper arm it just picks up a reference phase and therefore detecting the different signal of the two will pick up the argument of the expectation value of the t operator and this is exactly the polarization okay so in the last two minutes let me also tell you one other idea which we have and how we can actually realize this effective Hamiltonian by topology transfer so the idea here is let's consider our final temperature or driven model and let's couple it dispersively to a one-dimensional fermion lattice which we can keep at low temperature so close at t equal to zero say and for the sake of discussion let's assume that we have a density-density type coupling in momentum space if you want to know a bit more details of how to realize it, ask me later but if we have something like this where alpha and alpha prime are the indices for the bands because we have here maybe a multi-band problem if this coupling here is sufficiently weak then the dynamics of the auxiliary system can be treated in mean field approximation so we basically can just replace the operators here of the system to be probed by the average value and once we do this you immediately realize that the Hamiltonian, the actual Hamiltonian of the auxiliary system has a single particle Hamiltonian matrix which is just given by the correlation matrix of the system to be probed so as a consequence the winding of the polarization in the open system is just the winding of the polarization in the auxiliary system and since this is operating at t equal to zero this leads directly to a quantized transport so we can detect the quantized transport in the auxiliary system okay just to show you that this is not just it does not only work in mean field these are numerical simulations the winding of the polarization of the open system and this is a transport in the auxiliary one that it makes us jumpy it's just because we calculate this on a cylinder so you see the winding is picked up by the transport in the auxiliary system okay so let me summarize I hope I have convinced you that Gaussian fermionic systems at final temperature or a non-equilibrium can be classified by an effective Hamiltonian whose Hamiltonian matrix is a single particle correlator we can introduce a topological invariant which is related to the Zuck phase or the polarization of the ground state of this Hamiltonian and I have shown you that how to detect the polarization or how to realize this effective Hamiltonian via topology transfer and I would like to thank the people involved there are people in my group Dominic Lindsner, Lukas and Bill and we had a collaboration with Charles Sebastian and Alex and I should also thank for previous contributions to Dr. Gost and with this I thank you for your attention


Hi, I'm Mackenzie Plyman. I went to Hewitt Trustful High School, so I'm from Trustful Alabama. I'm a junior and I'm majoring in nursing on the pre-med track. Growing up, family has always been super important to me and being involved in my community has always been really important to me. So when it came to my senior year about to start college, it was really important that I found a place that was close to home but also felt like my home away from home. For me, UA's perfect distance from home has the perfect college experience and when I came on my tour, I immediately thought at home. Everyone was so kind, so encouraging, so sweet, and it just felt right. Before coming to college, I'd say I was a pretty shy person, but college has really made me come out of my comfort zone. One of the most rewarding things for me so far has been what's called the Emerging Scholars Program. And with that, I've had so many opportunities. I've been able to publish my own research and be a co-author on her research and it's also given me other opportunities to meet people who have the same interests as me. And on top of that, I've been able to make so many friends here. UA campus is so diverse and there's so many people from different states and there's just so many opportunities where you get to meet people with different perspectives and who have different majors and you all just get to hang out and it's just a really great place to be.
