I want to make this as simple as I possibly Can so let's first start by taking a look at the gold contract. We take a look at the gold contract Let's punch this screen up here, and there's really to a to b equal CD patterns that we could draw in here There's the larger one the larger one. I'm referring to Begins on February 20th. That's at the 1356 level makes move down into March 7th at 1287 50 makes a retracement about a 61 point 8 percent retracement the exact number was 63.21 so perfect retracement out there March 25th If we use those three as our data points, which we should because prices underneath the 1287 50 It gives us a price projection of 1262 30 now That's just the one-to-one price projection level the 1 to 1.272 would be 1243 67 so that's one a to be equal CD there are more there's at least another one out there Let's draw that one in here and here. We're going to actually use the C point that was a trading day of March 25th That would be our a for the smaller a to be equal CD The B point would be April 4th low and the C point was a retracement into April 10th That was about a 61 percent retracement was actually exactly 64 point 92 Now the one-to-one of that level as Peter was pointing out that was hit that was 1268 80 We actually got underneath that 1267 90 so let's assume Peter Ian everyone else that's out there that's the smaller a to be equal CD pattern that would be in play out here Then becomes a question. How do what is that that Stevie needs to see? Well, let me get rid of the a to be equal CD patterns that are out here So we know that we're at one and you know a little bit of ways from another the first thing Peter everyone else that I would need to see would be a bullish reversal candle as we take a look at The candle as it speaks right now. This is not a hammer candle I know it looks very close to a hammer candle But there is just simply too much of an upper wick an upper shadow on this Current configuration that doesn't mean that's what it looks like at days And so we really need to know when the contract closes is what does that candle signal look like? We could very easily end up with a hammer candle. We know that the open was 1277 so as price should price continue to make its way higher If the small body of this candle closed around 1279 1280 Maybe 1281 Somewhere right around that level that could turn into a hammer candle actually your preference. I would say your preference is around So 79 I'd say 1279 to 1280 would would generate your hammer candle So Peter if we saw that Ian if we saw that that would be a signal that gold is saying that it may have bottom We got two competing a to be equal CD patterns. I know you're saying oh come on stevo Yeah, don't don't give me this. Oh, maybe we will have bottomed and you're exactly right I would never do that. I'm not gonna leave you hanging like maybe a hanging man candle could out there, right? But that would that's not what we're talking about here instead. We're gonna make it easy. How do we make it easy? Well, the one thing you and I can do is we can go ahead and add our task market profiles So let's do that now. Let me turn off the weekly When I do that and here's what you're gonna let me turn off price So you can see that there was a new profile that formed out here There's a new profile in the current contract and one of the things I want you to notice Here's the data box. I'm gonna pull the data box down and so we're just we just see two lines right now versus Three normally we see three well actually the third line is there It's just invisible unless we look at our data box the bottom of that profile is 12 77 20 the center is 12 77 20 That is a level where? Truly we talked about bullish or bearish Structured boxes and although it's narrow because the top of the box is 12 85 very bullish structured box as we turn price on We're gonna see the price is trading below 12 77 20 at least I believe it is it is 12 77 20 so what do we need remember we talked about? Look, I need to see a bullish reversal candle a hammer is only one of the candles This could turn into be a bullish engulfing Session and we just don't know I'm just letting everyone know that at 1 13 in the afternoon It's not a bullish reversal candle So what would you need to know on top of that Peter on top of that in with regard to gold having potentially bottom I'd want to see price close above the bottom of that profile 12 77 20 right now It is a key resistance level out there and without that in place that really brings back into play The larger a to b equals CD pattern that gives you the price project in 12 62 to 12 43 level the fact of the matter is you'd like to see the same type of thing with regard to the gdx What do I mean with regard to the gdx? I mean you'd like to see a bullish reversal candle signal out here as we take a look at it It's made of 1.272 just because the candle is green Does not mean it is a bullish candle likewise a red candle doesn't mean it's bearish the the color of the body in this case here is just telling you where the open and The clothes is as bullish candles go This would be one of the weakest bullish candles and you wouldn't want to necessarily hang your hat on it So in K in the in the case of the gdx price is well below its daily profile out there We really need to see gold give us a bottoming signal and at 1 14 in the afternoon We don't have it nor do we on the gdx So my suggestion is let's be patient until the market confirms a bottom Steve Rhodes with TFNM We'll be right back The Taz profile scanner is the most revolutionary piece of trading software that you will ever try Wouldn't you like to approach the markets with confidence as you begin your trading day It's likely that you'll be faced with lots of decisions in order to make the best decision The first thing you'll need is a strategy that will help you minimize your risks Whether we're in a bull or bear market A good strategy is to have the tools needed to help you scan and analyze the markets before you trade The Taz profile scanner instantly scans and filters over 2,500 global financial markets Such as stocks ETFs commodity futures and forex headed by Steve doll president of Taz market profile The Taz profile scanner understands that in today's technological world the use of top flight software applications Automated trading algorithms and technical analysis expertise is essential to successful trading in today's market Whether you're looking at the trade matrix, the ETF heat grid, the market breath, the landscape charts Or the many other features of the Taz profile scanner This is a piece of software that will revolutionize how you look at the markets and set up your trades The team at Taz has even put together a 12 part video series to walk you through every aspect of the Taz profile scanner Which you can find directly on the Taz order page at TFNM.com Sign up now for only 97 dollars a month with a risk-free 30 day trial So you have nothing to lose and everything to gain See for yourself how you can harness the full power of the Taz profile scanner by visiting the front page of tfnn.com today And you'll find the Taz profile scanner under the services section Remember with a 30 day money back guarantee you have nothing to lose Don't let another day pass you by without trying out this amazing piece of software That will revolutionize how you look at the market and how you place trades sign up today Many of our new listeners have heard about the tiger's den The tiger's den is a lively community where professional traders and investors can meet exchange ideas and information in a comfortable moderated atmosphere Hear all of the tfnn shows plus see all of the charts as they happen live and have access to archives of all of those charts You can test drive the tiger's den absolutely free for 30 days and greatly enrich your knowledge of these markets And how to make your money work for you details on the tiger's den or on the front page of tfnn.com TFNN has launched our brand new website.

What do you mean? You don't know what the candle session is going to be at the end of the day Well, well, I don't if we take a look at a 30 minute chart just as an example out here If you and I were going to take this chart I know there's no number of lines on here and we were going to Identify in the gold contract where would it find resistance? One of the one of the levels you would have chosen were these these little dash blue line areas and you can see In the 30 minute session that we're in right now That is exactly where gold is found resistance that little blue dash line out there So price has made a nice countertrend rally right into resistance out here And that's at the 1275 area and since it is backed up Let's say you're long the mining equities like s&p's nibbling and others are out here What you don't want to see and this just a short term because if you're nibbling you're just maybe short term ish If gold closes below 1270 to 10, that's stevie's red line right now That's a bummer and if it closed below 1269 10 even though that's not the low of the day You know, that's the bottom of a 30 minute profile. That is not what you want to see out here Instead, you want to see price a clear not just 1275 but the solid green line And that is at a price point of about 1278 the exact number is 1277 60 So those are the types of things you would need to see on a short term basis as well as what to be aware of On a short term basis should gold continue to kind of sell off and move a bit lower out there With regard to the xAU Ian was asking about the xAU A slightly different chart here. We can see the xAU has made a 1 to 1.272 a to b equal cd to the downside This uh, Ian was asking about the xAU because yesterday when I did tom show I had identified For us that the xAU was likely going to form a nine count a tom the mark set up nine count today And at this stage that is the case and oftentimes An equity a commodity it doesn't matter the time frame a currency pair Can make a turn Using this pattern Recognition tool typically the turn will come on bars eight nine or the bar after bar nine So that would mean maybe the xAU Does into bottom until tomorrow. Maybe it doesn't bottom it all out there Um, so and the gdx It is it is one day behind with regard to its count just because of candle configurations and so forth and just the way that price moves out here But if we take a look at the gdx on a daily time frame, you're going to see that it is only Potentially forming day eight today Now day eight can be a bottom so it could kind of coordinate there correlate did correlate but coordinate with the xAU Um, but maybe it's not until bar nine or bar 10 and what we don't have is some type of bullish reversal candle always Dangerous because markets will continue to go lower until the bulls show up How do we know because they they rear their head they have to they have to they show themselves in a japanese reversal candle That's just the way that it works out there and markets will continue to go lower and lower and higher and higher Until either the bullish or the bearish reversal candle forms That's a segue into a question that came in from let me see here. Let me get this Uh Get out there, uh that came when it came in from michael michael b michael says hey, I watch your show yes Say for the first time when you filled it for tom's first hour slot very informative interesting You said yesterday the drussel 2000 was bottom and sure enough it went up this morning my question is how Did you know? I didn't go into detail. Perhaps you can touch on this during your show today. I'm gonna watch okay So, uh, michael this bud is for you. Let's take a look at the chart You and I were looking at yesterday in the russell 2000 It was the 60 minute time frame chart and I was filling in for tom doing three to four And remember we said hey, uh the show ends just before four, but I gave you the update at uh Four or five minutes six minutes to four and what we were looking at at this stage right here I'll draw an arrow just to make it easy was this candle right here And this was a bullish engulfing candle a bull sash candle now the candlestick itself did not identify For us that this was a potential bottom that was forming out there The pattern is the most beautiful pattern out there And it's the most beautiful because I wasn't looking for it, but then I found it and then I tested it and I was like son Up a gun Because it's a pattern that's been present before the beginning of every single bear market since 1896 And then you start trying it on other time frames and other instruments and you're like Son of a gun. I know I said that once before and I will say it again And that's that's the steve roge momentum indicator signal And the question is do I teach that to subscribers and the answer is yes.

So Michael that's how you so the answer is yes to your question. Do I teach this the answer is absolutely positively? Yes, and there was that pattern and that pattern just simply puts the edge in Your pocket what I can't do is guarantee you that the pattern is going to work out or not It's just if we're looking for tops and bottoms. We know what to look for it was present at 4 p.m Yesterday afternoon. It is no surprise that price moved higher out there now with regard to the russell 2000 and move higher What does it mean? Well, what it means is And let's make sure we understand the interpretation of the meeting We're going from the 60 minute chart out here to the daily time frame chart and all the russell 2000 is doing Yes, it's up nicely. Yes, it's leading the market percentage wise See those blue dash lines out there Not above them. Are they just like that 30 minute chart there for gold And what you can see is a consolidation pattern for the russell 2000. It's a beauty It's from about 1500 to 1600 roughly a hundred point consolidation a break out to the upside You have your measured move a hundred points a break out to the downside your measured move a hundred points We don't have either right now Russell 2000 in your good old fashioned consolidation pattern Steve Rhodes with tfn I'm certain you are or strive to be one of the best of the best at everything you do in life It's the most common trait that we tigers and tigers share If you're looking to become the best of the best when it comes to managing your money Let me teach you to do what most wealth managers tell you can't be done Which is how to time the markets I'm Steve Rhodes author of mastering probability and for the last 12 months Timer digest has been tracking my newsletter signals Which have earned me the ranking as their number one market timer in the nation for the s and p 500 for the last 12 Six and three months timer digest also ranks me as the number one market timer for gold as well The fact is markets can be timed and I'll teach you the exact set of tools that I use that has transformed me into one Of the best at what I do sign up for mastering probability today By clicking on the newsletter tab on the homepage of tfn.com and get immediate access to workshops Where I take you step by step how to use an extraordinary set of tools as well as provide great market calls to sign up today The path of least resistance is david white's daily trading newsletter And if you're looking for active trading ideas then now is a perfect time for a 30 day free trial to this powerful daily trading advisory service David uses his years of trading experience to offer his subscribers his trading ideas each morning in his path of least resistance newsletter Using a combination of equity trades along with options David keeps his subscribers up to date with all pertinent market information with intraday afternoon updates when warranted Don't miss out on this great chance to get a 30 day free trial to david's daily newsletter The path of least resistance with no obligation to pay anything david has been delivering solid recommendations for his subscribers Recently and if you'd like to see the type of newsletter he delivers every morning Then visit the front page of tfnn and you'll find the path of least resistance under trading newsletters For all the details and to start your 30 day free trial today log on to tfnn.com now tfnn is excited about our new software charting program the art of timing the trade charts In collaboration with tom o'brien and using his best-selling book the art of timing the trade your ultimate trading mastery system David white has programmed an outstanding piece of software that will complement any trader's methodology Using this first of its kind program the art of timing the trade charts allows you to scan thousands of stocks for Fibonacci formation setups including guardleafs abc's butterflies and much more the art of timing the trade charts is designed to Help you when scouring the markets for stocks just beginning to form the trading patterns that many investors spend days Weeks or even months searching to find and right now we're offering licenses available at only $79 a month We are so confident that you're going to love this new charting software that will even give you a 30 day Unconditional money back guarantee don't miss out on this incredible new piece of software Get your copy of the art of timing the trade charts today by visiting tfnn.com This segment is brought to you by think or swim for more information Just click the think or swim banner on the front page of tfnn.com Good afternoon folks, uh, so we've got the dow up 159 s and p's up 25 nasty 192 Nasdaq composite up one and a quarter percent That's about a hundred points to the upside the question coming in from the tigers then from john is uh The nasdaq composite may surpass the 81 33 Record high in here's the monthly chart out there so you can see what john is referring to that's the high from back in august of 2018 81 33 30 John goes out and said do you have any obvious targets up at higher levels if this rally extends? So i've i've put a couple of different and now this is a monthly chart that you and i are taking a look at I put a number of my automated trending line system To work on the screen a monthly chart interestingly enough john and others out there if we take a look at the high from october In 2007 and we attached that to the high where there was a consolidation In july of 2015 and we just used that line in those touch points The december decline found support right there Right there right on the spot simple trend line that was tested and it held now prices going up against 100 percent move of move a previous swing point and if price clears the 81 33 level Then what i would just look at is a simple trend line and this is off of the july high in 2015 And we can just use the august high in 2018 It certainly worked well with regard to the our support would be and so that could be a resistance level And if we take a look at where would that be priced at around 89 24? So this is longer term out here But that would be one of the price targets that we would Look at out here if we want to identify horizontal levels those were diagonal levels of potential Price targets resistance and so forth what we can also do though is we can go take a look at the nasdaq composite I just have to find it where did I put it? Thought I put it somewhere be up right here. So here's our primary now We're back. We're still on the monthly time frame now. These are the horizontal trading ranges remember I mentioned to michael there's a number of workshops on the On the members page newsletter subscriber page out there. Well, this is one of them horizontal trading ranges And uh, this is the work from bud ralfs However was modified so bud was doing those of you that remember been long time time tf and enters You know buzzes was the king of horizontal. He would call them primary trading ranges out there And but all his work was done visually which is great I actually don't have the time to do visually when I can do it electronically You're actually pay a programmer to write the program to be able to do this Which is what I did and and while a lot what you're looking for is largest number of co-located That's a word that he used I pay him a royalty every time I use that so you're looking for a Co-located that means either an open or a close You're looking for an open or a close in this case here It is a monthly open or a close out there and you're looking for the largest congestion point as I turn on my instrument that tells us where the largest conglomeration of opens and closes was on a monthly base inside the nasdaq composite You'll see it's all the way down at the bottom between 1310 and 2088 Between 13. Let me repeat that between 1310 and 2088 now all you really do is you take that price difference And you just keep adding that horizontally Equidistance out there and sure enough Because when the high was formed in 2000 It's horizontal trading range reasons levels 5200 519907 now did it hit it exactly no We use these as guidelines out here good guidance These are just the monthly that I have on my screen So john what I would then say to you is even though I gave you a higher price projection utilizing Uh diagonal trend lines I would be watching the horizontal trend line and the horizontal trend line for the nasdaq composite says 8309 Generally in that area could be a resistance zone I can put other time frames out here again. It's a monthly look that we've got I could turn the monthly off We can turn the weekly on the weekly are going to give us different numbers I have to change that white background to a black if I'm going to go ahead. There we go. You've got 8309 For a weekly level as well out there So you've got that on the weekly you've got that on the monthly and that 8309 level And so I think that is the next area for you to look at as a resistance point And that is in the nasdaq composite now What I don't have Inside the cash indices out here are sets of profiles I could turn them on the reliability not as strong as and take and look at the equity futures contracts And so my preference is really to go there So if we're going to go there what we're going to do is we're going to turn the es mini off We're going to go ahead and turn the nq on even though this is represented nasdaq 100 What we're going to look at here or where is the nasdaq 100 trading in relationship to its market profile So we've got daily in the left above the top of the box weekly on the right above the top of the box above the top Of the box is just like driving down expressway for those of you that use the speed limit as a guideline You know, you can floor it here. You can floor it until you're happy Just make sure you are staying focused when you're flooring it. Well, the market right now is flooring it It is no surprise the market is flooring it now the resistance level for the nq was The monthly horizontal not sorry the monthly Top of its market profile that number specifically is 77 78 We're not at the end of the month. It doesn't happen till next week But to close above that it is above resistance out there And then if we take a look at the nq the nq is above quarterly resistance, of course This doesn't matter until we get to june Nonetheless trading above that is a bullish outcome We have not traded above the top of a quarterly profile in the nq This is the first time since the highs last year were made Do you think that it makes a difference to trade above the top of a quarterly profile? Well, the answer I you know, it's it's obvious maybe If we can prove it the answer the answer is is absolutely positively Yes, and what's causing all of this? What is causing all of this really? Yeah, what what is the reason behind this? I mean come on You've got the u.s. Dollar index up 375 ticks out there trade out at 97 33 You've got bonds that are trading slightly to the upside about two tenths of a percent to the upside And you've got the u.s. Markets trade to the upside Is that not a beautiful thing or what is there not one succinct message in that? above all There is You tell me where the game in town is you tell me where the game in the world is You tell me where is it that the flight of capital is coming to? It's coming to the u.s. It's in the u.s. It's in a big way It's been in a big way for a long long time. This is the place with confidence I know some you may think that things are a little screwed up here I'm not necessarily referring to to me or the show or what have you but inside our Little box out here of the north america or the united states the reality is money money Show me the money you're seeing the money right here I hear folks talk about you know a strong dollar is going to be bad for the market Give me an effin. Can I say effin? I is a fun friend of mine break U.s. Dollar index bottomed years ago The market has been rising ever since the folks that say that just simply want to ignore reality The u.s. Dollar index going to go higher Bonds too may be going higher out there because that's the easiest way to get your money into the u.s. Dollar Out there and the u.s. Markets can't go higher now We'll just simply take each market one at a time out here one at a time We'll just use these tools. Hey take a look at the dow Christ in euros.

Is there any topping signals? I think if that's the question I can go take a look at charts. I know you're saying you're not looking at charts I have to look at charts because that's how I understand the message of the markets. It's how We were able to take a look at the russell 2000 the weekend to see out there yesterday at four o'clock and say hey Look at this bottoming pattern that's out here That was to help people that were thinking the russell 2000 was weak yesterday And they wanted to jump on the short side because with that pattern that was in play That was absolutely the wrong time to do that now if we take a look and we start here. How do we start? Let's start with let's start with this chart here since this is something we've already taken a look at And to do that, let's go take a look at now the daily the weekly the monthly The quarterly time frame charts for the es many. Here's what we know prices above every single top of that profile above resistance So if you are identified you're saying there's a top of the market right now It's not because prices trading below resistance So and this is a new profile in the es many that formed four days ago 29 18 you're 29 36 remember it's like a Driving down an expressway that's crowded and yet you get out in front of the traffic and you're free to floor it You're free to floor it is what this says what these charts would say to me out here Is that if you're going to go ahead and you're going to take a short is now the time My answer would be no the better time would be an anticipate and expect that the es many is going to go Take out its all-time highs And it's going to go test a rising trend line that began We're going to use this simply january in 2018 and september 2018 Use that in essence that contained october in 2018 and price wise it's in the 3000 level That's what it looks like the 3000 level would be a better spot perhaps You'd want to see what patterns are present at the time But maybe there's patterns that are present right now Oh, let's go find out and to keep the patterns clean as an example If you were to take a look at the es many on a 30 minute basis And we just use this we just use we just look for these tom the mark set up nine counts And what we look for and what my system does automatically draw support and resistance level when those patterns form So let's just say that you were a trader this morning. You were thinking okay Maybe I want to go ahead and go short But you get my newsletter today came out like at 840. So if we go to 840 At 840, here's what you know that between 6 and 7 30 in the morning price was testing a level of support And by 8 o'clock it just simply rejected that level and started moving higher Would that have been the time to have gone short? No support had held out here Now you had a nine count that occurred at 11 30 and at 12 it moved higher We know that that would have been if there was a top using this tool that would have been the top We're beyond that it says that there's a strong trend that is in place That's at least the interpretation of the 30 minute time frame chart out there If we come take a look at other profiles, I think I have that set up. Do I have that set up? Just no that's for gold Let me move over here. Let me do this So we've kind of covered the 30 minute time frame chart Let's look at the 60 minute time frame chart and it's td setup It's only in count six on an hourly basis made that bottom with that rose momentum indicator signal similar to the russell 2000 Yesterday, all this was on the 19th. It looks like out there. So that had formed a bottom Do I see a topping signal? I don't on a 60 minute Do I see it on a two hour time frame chart? The answer is no and it broke through a key level of resistance earlier using a two hour time frame So that still looks up bullish to me. How about a five hour time frame? These are the time frames that I like to use to help identify signals No, nothing there that suggests the top now we get into the daily and the weekly but we'll do the weekly first And if we take a look at the weekly time frame chart what you're going to see It's only in week number six of that td setup nine count We know at week six that doesn't make highs if there's a high that's going to be made And it doesn't mean that there is going to be a high that is made utilizing that tool But nonetheless, you're well above steve's green line There is there is no signal in place here on a weekly time frame basis and then while law we come back to the daily And maybe earl the daily is the one that says it all The reason why I say the one that says it all is because right here on this trading session This is april 17th. There was a top that was going to form That was the time or that should have been the time and the reason it should have been the time Is simply because It was the completion of three patterns out there one was in essence the a to b equal cd 29 29 It never got there, but it was close enough. That was a key reversal session You had a rose momentum indicator signal out there You had everything it actually was also wave number seven wave number g That's no longer in place out here when I say that let me I'll show you that here Here's your wave count that got to wave number g. You can see we're beyond that now, which is why we've got wave number a Wave number a I guess I could come down here to march 25th and that could put us in a or f out there It doesn't really matter This is suggesting to you and I that price wants to make its way to 29 66 Now you're not a chart reader or you were going to make a decision without a chart and maybe you're right It could be right. I just don't have a signal Anywhere to suggest to me that the market is top, which I think is what you were asking for and therefore You know, that's just what my charts say my charts say why sell the long position Looks pretty good Looks like the market wants to move to hire price out there. Sure. Well, thanks right and best of luck with whatever it is that you decide and And that's the information that stevie sun is looking at as we speak right now So what do we want to do? Oh with regard to the esla another possible spot Earl or anyone else out there to be looking or things to be looking at we talked about horizontal trading ranges Well, here's the daily weekly and monthly. It's a daily time frame chart read our monthly greener weekly Blue our daily. I know you'd like to just have one number out there Well, then just stay with one time frame Just stay with one time frame Let's say you want one number and you just like the daily time frame You're just looking at blue lines out here and when price when when price gets to these levels What you really like to see Is you like to see him struggle such as the es meaning was doing back here april 5th April 5th is test and tested tested rejected moves above it on april the 12th Comes back and retested on april the 17th and 18th and even yesterday Rejects it and moves higher if you were just going to stay with the daily time frame The price objective with regard to horizontal trading ranges is 29 87 But look, we know that the es meaning struggled at the 29 52 area What was going on at 29 52 back in october last year? That was the weekly horizontal trading range So I say why not use more information than less information And in url's case, we'd say hey url Don't make the move at 29 36 if you're going to make the move make it at that logical spot 29 51 96 now you can't do that for the mini but certainly 29 52 Steve rhodes with tfn and that was your es mini in other words your s and p 5 Since 1984 basal Chapman has been using the Chapman wave methodology to advise traders of his expert market opinion While originally hand drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply Later basal found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators Enhanced the degree of accuracy in calling price turns as well as market trend calls Thus was born the Chapman wave sequence Using the Chapman wave methodology along with other indicators basal Chapman advises his subscribers of his expert market opinion Each market day with his opening call newsletter Right now you can get a two week free trial to the opening call basal's daily trading newsletter by visiting the front page of tfn.com Cancel at any time during that trial and pay absolutely nothing Get your two week free trial to basal's newsletter the opening call today by visiting tfn.com It's amazing to think that tom o bryan started his weekly gold report 17 years ago with the first issue published April 7th, 2002 when gold was trading at under $300 per ounce gold peaked at more than $1,900 in 2011 and after spending many years consolidating at lower prices gold may be poised for its next big run Tom o bryan publishes his weekly gold report every monday morning for subscribers consisting of coverage of the xa u hui gdx the dollar bonds south african rand as well as 25 different mining equities with specific buy sell recommendations As of april 1st of this year the gold report currently has eight active positions with an average unrealized profit of almost 8 for each open trade new subscribers get a 30 day money back guarantee So you have nothing to risk for all the details and to start your gold report subscription today Visit the front page of tfn.com.

No, I did 1.17 percent out there So we began the show taking a look at what we looked at gold. Then we moved into the nasdaq composite John in the tiger's den had asked about that. I'm going to bring up the daily chart here for the nasdaq composite as well Um, and and this is really for it's for it's for everybody But just kind of to reflect upon url's question about selling the s and p 500 John asking about, you know what our higher targets out here Let's not let the fact that today will be day number nine unless there's some huge sell-off I don't see that Will be day number nine. Tommy de mark set up nine count out there And prior prior or prior nines out here not everyone but prior nines and you can see price stall Move sideways just a little hiccup. Uh, it can just simply move sideways into consolidation or it can make a turn out here Or or just simply does nothing at all when it does nothing at all and it keeps moving higher It's just telling you the strength of the move that is underway that this stevie's interpretation And it's that interpretation by taking a look at the charts out here And if we just simply go back on the daily time frame count number nine took place on january 16th The higher high the following day He then had a higher high that negated and said that the move was very strong Yes price pulled back just a tad but that was it goes on to make its next nine count It does that on february 6 that was a high But what did price do pulls back and test stevie's green line We knew that was a likely outcome when the red line turned green out here That's a price outsider again. You can get all that information in the Workshops that are archived on your members page. We know that price eventually pulled back here at march 8th to test that solid line That's the trend line that gets established By those nine counts. So what can you expect? Hey if the market starts moving sideways earl john Tomorrow the next day price needs at least close below stevie's green line That's priced at 80 65 right now in the nasdaq composite if you're going to use that for a bigger signal out there So folks stay tuned I gotta tell you he's absolutely my favorite polar bear david white. He's up next after that basil chapman From three to four. Thanks so much for being here. I'll see you on wonderful wednesday. Have a great tuesday


rk is 15 feet, so they moved it back to make that decision for the setback. So he was okay with that. But he was dead. There were a couple of visions to it based off of some of the comments that were made, but they went ahead and looked at it. So I'll be reaching them to the architect that designed the first one, did the CAD on the first one, and they'll be putting it together here. So yeah, the Grand only event hopefully will be going at the end of December for the skate park. The water master plan? The water master plan. So the state took their sweet time and now they're open. They had all sorts of issues with this master plan. And they're looking out for Ross, which is great. But they came back with about seven pages full of comments today. So they sent out our engineer and explained to them what they wanted and what they saw and our engineer is now going land by land and addressing and changing each one of those items. So I don't say the same thing for another two or three days. So once they need it for us so that we can go over 90. So what's your address? Does it have to go back to the state for re-approval? Yeah, it should be pretty quick. It really should be really fast. So it may be, first of all, I don't know. It just really depends on how quickly our engineer can get seven pages of comments addressed and suitable for the state. Did you read through the comments? Oh yeah, I mean we're good at stuff. Who's the stuff? I mean where are we looking as a town right now? It was solely items and assumptions that were made and things that were data that really wasn't collected correctly or maybe should have been collected and was, stuff like that. It was more than the methodology of all the technical information that was in it. It wasn't that sort of numbers at all. I don't know where that was right. I haven't seen that part. Well actually I do have a draft that I can bring to you if you don't look at it. But they're not proof. No, I wasn't necessarily just thinking the numbers were more of a, you know, was the state on kind of the same wavelength that us and the engineer were? I mean was there, I think so. Was it a lot of just, you know, small technical comments or was it, you know, well we think you should do this? No, none of that. None of that. It was the, not the assumption that started, but the comments that were made and the recommendations that were made need to be validated a little more and this is how we like to do it. Kind of stuff. No big surprises. No, no.  But none of that kind of stuff. It was really more just, hey Mr. Engineer, you need to show me and prove to me how you're coming to that understanding, right, you're coming back to that, what approach you used, type of stuff. So really more technical type things. Stuff that's in the vast industry in town for sure. There were a couple things that the engineer didn't put in that the state would like to see as far as potential projects in the future. Stuff that we didn't really think were large projects but they want to see it in little things. But nothing that's going to be a substantial change from what we all thought. So I hope that we would be creating a number of things that's probably going to be a little much. And the bad thing is we need to have a number in mind when we go to the good and as to what we're going to be asking for through that level. And we may not do it. We may have to do a mid-year boat. We may have to. We may have to. It's not going to be the draft numbers. The numbers are going to be draft, report, or not. It's not going to change substantially. They're going to be generally where they need to be. And there's some big numbers there. But the report, but I'm really going to go from the report is that how they're realizing those projects. And how they think they could be putting them together. That would tell us how much we need to ask for. But they say that yeah, there's three projects that need to be done in the next five years that maybe we need to ask them all. If they say, well, there's one now and then one in four, five years and maybe another one in five years, then maybe we look and say how we can ask them to do those. So that's really what we need to do. And the bridge 33. Yeah. Do you think maybe now is the time to invite the engineering firm and me with the select board to select people? Hot seat? I can. Yeah. Sure. I mean, that's kind of what I'm thinking at this point is to ask the tough questions here in what, you know, basically at this point what they're going to do for us. Right. I can make that phone call. Yep. So in doing that, if you could just put together for us for the next meeting, maybe kind of what the estimate was because you gave us some of that stuff like, you know, maybe just informal, boom, boom, you know, this was this was the design flaw that cost us. So I'm not sure if I missed something, Greg, but at one point you were working on a harassment policy back in June or July. I think it was the last time we spoke about it. You were asking too much. I'll bring it back.  I'll bring it back. I was quite pleased with what you said. And nothing will do. You said we were going to talk about SNS later. SNS? Yes. Yes. So I pulled their conditional use permit and there are no conditions in the permit to limit how many cars they can have. So the angle is to try to limit the cars that they have with our service water or well ahead. Yeah, rather protection. So that made me just have to move the cars, but what it does say in the minutes from the meeting for their permit was that they've stated that they thought that they have eight to ten cars and if things were going well they could have up to fifteen or something like that. So there is that statement from them. So I don't know if we can pursue that angle, but as far as the permit they are meeting all the conditions of the permit because there was no condition that said if you'd like to be limited on how many cars you can have. Does that permit expire at some point or is it a odd infant item? I don't imagine. Does it come up for renewing? I don't know how this was worded. I think it is a used permit service. Yes. It says in their permit that they can do they would do a small amount of service work in the back and they have to keep all their parts and pieces and all that and go back for it. Yeah, but still that's right on top of the well that it is in the flood plan. Yeah. But I just want to structure some things like that. So as far as the flood plan, don't worry about, you know, floating debris and all that. They've got a permit. They've got a condition to use permit. So they are legally authorized to be there. So they can change the oil and just put it up in the kitchen? Well, not that well ahead of me. So as far as the permit itself, I don't know that we have any legal recourse on that. Other than they have a statement saying that they thought it and they didn't know it might be a 20 car. That's a Rick thought when I talked with him. He said they didn't have a specific number but there was never more than 12 or 14 or something like that that ever came up in the discussion. But from the zoning and legal perspective, it would be tough to say hey, so what you're saying, but if there's no condition that says you can't, that's not right. If they can put a condition that says you can't, then 10 car works with them, and that's the state. But with the new zoning regs, are they grandfathered in? Oh yeah, they have permission to use permit based off the old regs. They have a permit that's the whole issue. They have it and the conditions are what the conditions are. Now the well that protection is the whole thing. Yes, because it moves. The problem with that is it actually goes more towards the high school or the school than it does towards them. I mean they're in it of course, but I'll have to see. They parked around that. That's the whole number issue. That's Tim. I think there's a legislation there. And so they look at it there with some of his sewer chub. That's the whole number issue we've been fighting for about. The parking in front. But again, that's not a condition of the permit. They're not a violation of the permit. They're a violation of being A-holes maybe, but not a violation of the permit. So the well that protection is really what I think we need to look at. And see if there's anything there that... And that may be just as simple as they may have to move the cars. I don't know. It just depends on how that language, what it says and what those limitations are. Because in the immediate area, right around the well, as you expand the forest, the limitations become less and less and less. What are our rights in that area? We're essentially leasing the land from the owner. But we do have a well that protection care, which is something that we get that we have every right. I just didn't know if we could corridor off 10 foot buffer zone or something. I didn't know if we had any recourse to put a buffer zone. The well that protection does that. So it's a circular thing. It expands out and it actually moors a little bit. But in the immediate area, it's going to circle us. That has a certain set of limitations. And then if that expands out, they change. I just need to figure out what portion of that, if all of it, then we have something to talk about. If not, maybe they just have to do some operations somewhere else. But I don't remember the permit saying that they were going to be doing some minor mechanical type stuff in the back. And that they would have all the reverse stuff up there. Mechanical is different than servicing vehicles. Yeah, they're own vehicles that they move in and out of there. They're servicing. I know folks that have bought vehicles there. They haven't serviced them. But the actual number itself, I don't have any legal authority there. The permit being contested, which it sounds like nobody contested it. They'll just give them free rein. But you guys have a good question. I'm not sure how long from now. I mean, my gut says they're about as long as the business is there. But I'm not sure. I don't think you have to come back there. I really don't. Once it's established, it's established. Your zoning regulations would say something like if they shut it down for a year, then they might... Once it's established in there, they've got the permit. Because most of the time, the only way you get in your permits that you might say something like so many truck trips a day out of a quarry or so many cars, that has to be, that's done at the time of the permitting based upon probably a adjacent property owner complaining about noise. And now that they have it, even if they said we were going to have more than 15, they could probably have 100 there now. Yeah. I'll check that. So I see something. Do you have anything else? So we have a constable report. I don't know if there was anything on there that Paul weren't talking about. Yeah. Well, yeah, I just... I think I sent you an email last year. Is this something in right? Is this some kind of written contract that we had that specifies responsibilities of us and responsibilities to him and who's going to cover what and all those kinds of things and I don't know, I wasn't involved when he was appointed. I don't know if you guys were on the board when he was appointed or what the direction was meant to be, but I just think there's a lot of questions that I have. You know, the vehicle coming over the mountain every day or every time it comes over back and forth. Should the vehicle stay here? There's just a lot of different questions about responsibilities. We don't have a contract for that. I could not find anyone that we ever had a contract with our constable. He's basically appointed as an employee and falls under our personal policy. Is there a job description? The job description I brought to you last year and it was the state statute work and that's it. That's all we have. It's the state statute. You don't have a right to define what his position really is a little more and what the expectations are. I can tell him, I'm not getting real far with it. I'm still waiting for the spreadsheet that's supposed to show me how he's splitting up. The time is on our time. He used somebody else's car and somebody else pays for the class. He's got an element in his head as to how he's making his equity, but I still haven't seen it. He reports to you, doesn't he? He does report to me. He's a talent employee. He doesn't control over. He was going to a conference. I haven't always had companies that I worked for a page for me to go to conferences. Some of these things require to get training hours and things to go to. If he's required to get to training, go kind of on his own too much and not have enough supervision. It sounds like I need to rain a little bit and just be way more all the way to do it. Well, I think if you just established the procedure, then there won't be questions. Well, I got to establish the procedure with us and the other two accounts too. They all got their own thing or whatever it is. I think in the other accounts, he just pretty much does what he needs to do. There is room over there. I think it's getting the impression from the board that this is not acceptable. There's just a fine line there between what he needs for time to go get recertified versus what might be a business day to go right. What kind of expansion should he be covering as his own? I'm not even aware of it. I'm just going to jump into him a little more and we'll get more involved in what he's actually doing. I don't know if it's possible or not if he could give us a list ahead of time of these events. I want to attend this year or this quarter. We hold him to the budget just like we do everybody else. I did. One thing I'd like to see is he's got a couple of speeds here. It says 46 to 25 nurse. He doesn't say whether he gives him the tickets or he just lets him go. I'd like to see if he stops somebody. That's just another button. There's a little spreadsheet here with his software. If you don't give him the ticket. It doesn't say anything like that. I'll tell him. I'll have him manage this report. Anything else? I just want to ask how many tax sale doses you give him I'm sorry. I can't take one of the extra dollar rooms about a quarter of a million to the attorney. They did the first round of letters which basically gave people a time frame to come up with an arrangement and we have some payments involved. We have some payment arrangements and I have not yet gone back to see the next process. The next process is going to be going through the list with Greg and then looking to see how many of those properties that we think we could find buyers for. Some of them I know I can, some of them I'm not sure about yet. To me I don't really want a tax sale if I can't find a buyer but at this point I have a list of people that are waiting for tax sales I want to buy. So I think it will be at the beginning of December before we finalize who's going to tax sale. But at least we'll have tax sales. I think you say that's a good thing. I will be adjourned. All in favor? All in right.


Hello, everybody. Welcome back to another AI video. In this one, I'm going to show you how to create text to AI videos. And we're going to do it in less than about two minutes. So hit the stopwatch. The first step, you want to go to kyber.ai. I'll put a link in the description. The next step is you want to click on sign up. I've already signed up, so you're going to see my back end. That sounded weird, but this isn't the sign up. And then I'll quickly show you a few examples of some fun I was having. So here's one, a cartoon bulldog, Dutch angle. And here's one of DJ Khaled doing DJ Khaled things. And here's one of my bulldog, Kingston, transforming into some sort of steampunk type thing. I don't know what the Walkman on. Anyways, let's get into this. I'm going to show you how to do it. So the first step here, if you want to do it, is click create video. And then here's the thing. The first thing you want to do is you want to upload your initial image. So this is your starting image. So in this case, I'm going to go to my finder. And then I'm going to go to my pictures. And then let's go with a cute image like this one. I've got a bulldog in a jumpsuit. OK, yeah, it was a criminal bulldog. It also looks like my dog, Kingston. So there we go. That is our initial starting state, our initial one. The next step is we're going to continue to the prompts. So the prompts are very, very simple to use.  So I'm just going to click on that. And then you'll see here that you can describe it.  OK, something silly like that. OK, so we've got this angry.  And in this one, well, we'll go with cinematic. You can go, you don't have to put steampunk in the original description, but I did anyways. And when I clicked on cinematic, it filled it in here. But do note, you can write in whatever you want. So if this isn't what you want, you can just type it in. We're going to continue to settings. And now you're going to see here that you get about 20 credits. I've already used a whole bunch up. I've only got six left. So I'm going to reduce this down to about six seconds. And then the next thing you'll notice here is I can show the initial image in the first frame. So do I want to have a snapshot of the original image? In this case, I do. I want you guys to see the criminal French Bulldog. And then I'm going to go ahead now. And you'll see here that this costs six credits and that I have six credits. I'm going to go ahead and click Generate. And when it's done, I'm going to come back and show you what we got. All right, everybody, and here is the shot. Here's what we got. All right, we got our Bulldog. And it morphs into some sort of strange alien. Now, again, this is the free version. If you go and log in and pay for it, you get a few more options like reducing the number of steps and kind of you can take out some of the wobble by reducing the amount of change and zoom and stuff like that. But overall, for a free, at least a free demo tool, this is pretty cool. Let me know if you tried it out. If you got a paid account, if you like it, thanks for watching.


the License Hearing and Public Safety Committee to order roll call. Did he agree? Here. Dean Decker? Here. Leslie Laster? Here. Amanda Salazar? Here. Art Felde? And we're going to do introduction of the committee members and the guests. I mean, we just went over all of us. So how about the guests? Chuck Adams, city attorney. Kathy Hoffman, city attorney's office. I guess that's it. OK, and Pledge of Allegiance? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. I need approval of the minutes from July 28, 2021. Motion to approve. Second. Is there any discussion on it? All right. All in favor say aye. Aye. Nice vote may. Chair votes aye. Motion passed. OK. Our own number of 57, 21, 22, 8, 2, 21, various license applications, submitting various license applications. So our staff committee is recommending that you grant all the applications on this RO. The change of premises application for 8th Street Alehouse would come with a condition that they provided more detailed map, and we've already informed them that they need to do that. So that's our recommendation. Need a motion? Go ahead. OK, I move a motion. And to be clear, the motion would be to grant the applications with the one condition. Yes, I move a motion to grant the applications with the one. Any discussion on it? All in favor say aye. Aye. Right. Opposed may. And chair votes aye. Motion passes. RO number 58, 21, 22, direct referral, various license applications, submitting various change of premise applications. These are all for the John Michael Kohler Arts Center. So all of this is Al-Azhar is going to recuse herself. We are recommending granting all of the applications on the RO. There's three different dates on the RO. Two of them do need a street festival permit, and so the first two dates come with a condition that the street festival permit has been issued, and I am aware that they are in process. So a good motion would be to grant the applications with a condition that the first two dates have a street festival permit issued for those dates. I think the motion to grant the applications with the street festival permits. Second. Is there any other discussion on it? Can you tell me the dates? So which ones have been in the street festival on it? Because it's how you're going to have to be made. I can find it for you. OK. It is the first two dates are August 26th and September 9th. Those are the ones that need the street festival permit. I believe somebody from your organization has been working on it, because I've heard from the PD that they are dealing with it. OK. So yeah, that person just reports to me, so I need to just double check that. No. Thank you. Thank you. Is there any other discussion? We have a motion and a second. And all those favor vote aye. Aye. Aye. Opposed nay. And chair votes aye. And that passes. The next meeting date will be August 25th, 2021. And it's likely going to have to be upstairs, because I'm aware that there is a communication coming in to council on Monday that will likely bring a number of people to the meeting. And we also will have presentations for new liquor licenses, which could bring a number of people to the meeting. There will be too many to socially distance those upstairs. Appreciate the warning. Is there anything else? OK, seeing we've exhausted the agenda, I need a motion to adjourn. All those in favor say aye. Aye. Opposed nay. And chair votes aye. And we are adjourned.


The word glacier is familiar to most people, but do you really know what a glacier is?  They can bend and flow downhill like slow motion rivers of ice. Most people also picture glaciers on mountains, however ice caps, ice sheets, and really any masses of ice which remain year round are also considered glaciers. Even the most basic fact that warmer temperatures will melt glaciers has an interesting exception. We'll come back to that later. Overall glaciers are shrinking in a warming climate. This has been measured by satellites that feel gravity getting weaker over glaciers as they melt. Overall, excluding the polar ice sheets, glaciers are losing about 150 billion tons of ice each year. In some areas this is concerning because glaciers act like water towers for cities downriver. They store water in winter and release it during the summer months. Most glaciers expanded until the late 19th century and began retreating soon afterwards. The retreat has accelerated over the past two decades, particularly in the polar regions. In some areas rapid warming has completely disintegrated some small glaciers. Many of the smallest mountain glaciers in the European Alps and other mid-latitude locations will eventually disappear as well. In the Canadian Arctic, for instance, sample cores taken from ice show recent melt is the greatest in 4,000 years. Researchers have also found that ancient vegetation preserved under ice is now thawing out. Dating these frozen plants shows that they have been covered by ice for thousands of years. This tells us that some glaciers are now smaller than during any time in the past several thousand years. The same thing has been found in western Canada and on Baffin Island. Over the past decade the rate of glacier loss in the Arctic was similar to thousands of years ago when the Earth received more sunlight in the summer because of a different orbit. Current global warming is melting most glaciers and will continue to do so. But one myth says the opposite. It gives a few examples of growing glaciers. There are over 100,000 glaciers in the world, so even though most are shrinking it's possible to find a few examples that aren't. This myth relies on a cherry pick. The observation that a small fraction of glaciers are growing is actually an interesting scientific question. In order to explain it fully, let's take a bit of time to understand how glaciers form. For a typical glacier, snowfall builds up on its surface. Over time all the layers of snow press down on the layers beneath, compacting the snow crystals into ice. This ice forms the main body of the glacier. Glaciers gain ice from snowfall and they lose ice through surface melting, melting from beneath, and in some cases by gradually flowing into lakes or oceans and breaking off into icebergs. In winter, new snow weighs down on the glacier, pushing it downwards towards an ocean, lake, or the end of a valley. In summer, ice melts and can cause the glacier to recede. The difference between the total gains and losses of an ice mass measured over a year is called its annual mass balance. Because of the seasonal back and forth between advancing and retreating ice, the size of a glacier is typically measured at the end of summer when ice covers its smallest extent. As glaciers advance, they often push up ridges of sediment, called moraines. You can see these ridges with your own eyes and they remain long after a glacier has retreated up a valley.  We are currently studying the rate of change in many glaciers, and what have we learned? Glaciers are very sensitive to climate. They can only form in regions with low summer air temperatures and high winter snowfall. Changes in summer air temperatures or winter snowfall can therefore change the yearly mass balance of a glacier. So how will a warmer climate affect glaciers? It seems obvious that warmer air will cause them to melt faster, but it's a bit more complicated than that. Warmer winter air can also increase snowfall. This is because warmer air holds more moisture. If temperatures warm from very low below freezing to a little below freezing, then you can get more snow. This means that each individual glacier will react differently to changes in climate, depending on whether its particular mass balance is more controlled by temperature or by snowfall. Usually the warmer summers are enough to melt the extra winter snowfall. It is possible for increases in snowfall to balance out or even beat out the effect of warming summers. So even though it seems strange, some glaciers will actually get larger in a warming climate. If you hear someone use the argument that seeing a glacier grow disproves global warming, now you know why that is false. Hand picking a few growing glaciers is cherry picking the data because it ignores the bigger picture. A slightly warmer regional climate might cause some glaciers to temporarily grow, but overall almost all glaciers worldwide are now shrinking. This will continue as it warms over the next century.
