coming up on D T N S big tech gets targeted with a world tax. Instagram is no longer a photo app and Amazon is part of the rebel alliance. This is the Daily Tech News for Thursday, July 1st, 2021 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio Redwood. I'm Sarah Lane from Austin, Texas. I'm Justin Robert Young and I'm Roger Chang, the show's producer. We were just talking about Twitter's new test feature that they they introduced as an idea facets giving you personas under which you could tweet under your main account. If you'd like that wider conversation, get good day internet. Become a member of patreon.com slash D T N S. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Google opened up Android's integrated passive system to support locals storing digital vaccine cards from healthcare providers, local governments or other organizations authorized to distribute them. They will be supporting them. The card will show what vaccine was received and when and the card won't be saved to the cloud or used for advertising purposes. Oh, speaking of all 27 EU member states along with Switzerland, Iceland, Norway and Lichtenstein have officially begun rolling out a digital COVID certificate which will provide a locally stored QR code with COVID-19 vaccine information that will exempt the holder from testing or quarantine when crossing an international border. Paper versions of the certificate will be available through a fish though officials warn it does not qualify as a travel document like a passport. You still need a passport. The US Cyber Security and Infrastructure Agency or CISA released a ransomware readiness assessment module for cyber security evaluation tool say that three times fast. It's a self assessment tool to help organizations figure out how well prepared they are to recover from a ransomware attack. It's meant for IT as well as operational technology and industrial industrial control systems. The assessment adapts questions based on the responses in tiers of basic, intermediate and advanced and then offer steps to improve readiness. Facebook, Google, Twitter and TikTok have all signed a pledge from the World Wide Web Foundation to change their moderation systems in order to better address online gender based violence. Companies pledge to provide more granular settings for curating feeds, give users the ability to track and manage reports of abuse and provide more guidance on how to report abuse. Prior to Jeff Bezos stepping down as Amazon CEO and handing the reins over to Andy Jassy. It's coming this coming Monday. The company is adding two new leadership principles to it is it's existing 14 principles designed to guide Amazon's day to day operations. The new principles are number one strive to be Earth's best employer and number two success and scale bring broad responsibility. Amazon previously added its 14th principle back in 2015. It's been a while. That one was learn and be curious. All right. Well, let's find out what Earth's best employer or the company's striving to be that is up to in our first of these main discussion stories, Justin. Curious leadership point for somebody who wants to go to space. But anyway, Bloomberg sources say that there that for more than a year Amazon has held talks with several workplace productivity app makers about forming a rebel alliance to take on Microsoft where Amazon Web Services would be offered in partnership with a bundle of business applications sold for a single price. These potential partners allegedly include Dropbox Slack and Smartsheet among others. This alliance could potentially take on Microsoft 365 sweet which bundles office productivity apps emails Microsoft teams among other tools. I can hear Google over there shouting. You're taking us on to don't forget. Yeah, we're also really big us too. Yeah, this is this is a this is very interesting because Amazon has been wanting to be an office sweet competitor like Google is for a long time and this almost feels like them giving up a little and saying, you know what? We're not going to develop it ourselves. There's a lot of good partners out there. We'll just we'll just be the bundle from from lots of different brands instead of trying to bring it all in house. Well, I think that it's very very interesting because it number one a cheers to Microsoft because I feel like 20 years ago as you watched Google make product after product that gave free very credible sometimes even more feature rich alternatives to the kinds of things that the office sweet was selling specifically to the corporate market. Many of us might have said, oh, well Microsoft will wane as we go forward, not the case. They are stronger than ever and even now one of the biggest companies on the planet is looking to build a stable of people to try and erode from them. Essentially to me this boils down to one thing. Amazon for web services has a lot of corporate clients when they meet with those corporate clients. Now they have a credible opportunity to say, hey, would you also be interested in going with our productivity suite as Microsoft when they are meeting with their corporate clients that they sell the productivity suite are saying, hey, would you be interested in switching to Azure? Like this is basically just their their their competition to that. Yeah, you know, there's an angle here where it actually works a little better for AWS because I'm certain Dropbox Slack and Smartsheet all pay Amazon to use AWS on the backend, whereas Microsoft pays itself to use Office to use Azure on the back end. So, you know, also if Microsoft is disappointed with a productivity app, they can redo it themselves. If Amazon's disappointed with one of these partners, well, they just swap out a new partner, I guess, you know, so it's a different kind of flexibility there. Well, and let's say Amazon partners up with Dropbox, right? Supposedly one of the larger companies that Amazon the company's been talking to as a potential client, the client might be like, well, AWS is great. Don't get us wrong, but you know, we're really just there's just so many of us and we got Dropbox already in the mix already. It's just going to get too weird to move on to some probably wonderful product that you've made Amazon. But if Amazon is like, hey, look, it's Dropbox. It's AWS. It's all in one. You really did Microsoft. Then I think you get some folks either to sign up or switch. I mean, the biggest thing is going to be price competition on this. And also it's getting people over the fact the reason why Microsoft is still in a position that they're on is because companies don't like switching things. They like it continuing going on the way that it went on. That is what you hear over and over and over and over again. This is not a move fast and break things kind of culture when you're talking about these corporate clients. It takes a lot of time, a lot of effort and a lot of money. Amazon's a big enough name that they could probably build in a competitive price here, but it's interesting that Amazon has to make its own ragtag group to take on the Bohemian that continues to be Microsoft 365 forever. May they rain. Also, don't forget Salesforce owns Slack. So there's that interesting weird angle on this where Slack's like going to be part of the Rebel Alliance, but also a member of the Trade Federation say, I don't know where they were to go with I don't think the Star Wars metaphors. Yeah, that breaks down there. I actually had to remind myself that Salesforce owns Slack the other day. It was a December news story and I was like, yeah, pre holiday. That happened. Yeah, kind of got wiped out in the Christmas road. Yeah. Well, here are a couple more indications that we are definitely in the age of social video. If you didn't believe it, this might make you believe it. Instagram head Adam Maseri said in a video that the platform Instagram will start experimenting using showing users full screen videos over the coming months with recommended videos no longer just restricted to people you are already following. Maseri explained, quote, we're no longer a photo sharing app or a square photo sharing app. He added, quote, we're also going to be experimenting with how we do we embrace video more broadly, full screen, immersive, entertaining, mobile first video. Instagram also confirmed to TechCrunch that it's testing a prototype feature to let creators publish exclusive stories content only for subscribers. TikTok, you know, that's that other company that Instagram might be emulating here a little bit. TikTok started rolling out the ability for all users to share three minute videos. The previous limit was 60 seconds. So 3x the company has been testing longer videos since December, but only with select users. So you may be saying, haven't I seen a video that's longer than 60 seconds? Yeah, probably, but more people are going to get that functionality a lot more. Yeah, that last part is a rite of passage, right? Twitter Twitter had its moment where it went from 140 to 280 Instagram increased its videos from 15 seconds at one point. So this is just TikTok growing up like, all right, fine. We can we can do more than 60 seconds. Instagram saying we're not a square photo sharing app fellow teenagers. It really does strike me as as as Instagram feeling some heat to try to reposition itself. And specifically feeling heat in a way that might fundamentally redesign the user interface in a way that when they felt the heat from Vine that they just added video and they were able to do it within its existing UI when they felt the heat from Snapchat, they were able to add stories and essentially it's its own separate thing. When they first felt the heat from TikTok, they added reels and reels has not become quite the you know out of the box adoptive success that I think they might have hoped or at least like stories did and like Instagram videos did in terms of dealing with those competitors. I don't want to be an alarmist here, but if Instagram is fundamentally changing their user interface from a scroll to a waterfall or a more immersive or a default immersive experience. This this smells almost a little dig version for to me. Well, wow, you cut there. Yeah. And if you're like, wait, what's dig? That's the point. So if if I can, you know, I saw a lot of people being like, this is insane. Instagram is publicly declaring that, you know, it's not a photo app anymore. And it's like, okay, well, they're not getting rid of photos could happen, I suppose, but that's not what's happening right now. It sounds like they're just trying to bring reals into the forefront a little bit more rather than it being some other, you know, platform entirely that's buried within Instagram. Instagram has this issue where I know a lot of people love Instagram stories. I often just don't have time to look at all my friends Instagram stories, but I get them. I like them. It's it's all fine and good, but you've got your people who kind of hang out in stories then you have the purists, right? Who are still posting photos, you know, like me or my dog. My dog is an Instagram and then you've you've you've got you've got some real stuff that that that is being used by some folks and and very creatively in fact, and it's just it's sort of like, where are all the people? So maybe Instagram is really saying we're not merely a photo sharing site, but it's getting a lot of attention that it's making some dramatic change. I'm just not totally sure how dramatic this is rather than trying to have all more features in one place. I guess my only thing is that they've already cloned TikTok, right? So now the question is, it's not the features that we have a that that that the Instagram universe is wanting. It's the UI and if they're changing the UI that and we don't know that we don't know that, but this seems like a thing that you might say before you change the UI to prepare people so it doesn't just show up one day and everybody starts screaming about it. If they do change it, I'm I'm I wonder I worry for you. I think you're absolutely right, Sarah, that this is not a huge change. Even if they do full screen videos for reels to make it look more TikTok like it's not a huge change in the entire Instagram, but it's a huge change in tone. Well, you know, when they did stories, they didn't really talk about Snapchat. Adam Mosari name checked TikTok alongside YouTube when he was like repositioning Instagram as video first by say of this. So that that I think is interesting. The Windows 11 preview came out Monday and by Thursday, French engineering student Gustave Montz had it running on a Lumia 950 XL Windows phone. I love this. If you don't remember Lumia 950 XL was one of the first devices to run Windows 10 mobile and one of the last Windows phones ever they barely got Windows 10 mobile out the door before they just stopped doing phones. Windows 11 adapts pretty well to a 5.7 inch screen, but the operating system and its animations particularly run pretty slow about four years ago. Montz and LinkedIn engineer Binshing Wong started a project now called Lumia W O A to get Windows 10 running on Lumia 950s like full on Windows 10, not just Windows 10 mobile and they collected about 15 people on the team working on on this project over there on GitHub. So the team took and ported drivers sometimes wrote its own drivers and all that work made it fairly straightforward to get Windows 11 working on the phone. They say pretty much everything works except the camera and battery life as you might expect is pretty bad because you're you're dealing with such old hardware, but but it works. It's it's not necessarily practical, but if you're into these sort of like hacking for hacking sake situation, it's kind of fun to see Lumia Lumia. Tom, do you have a Lumia on your I don't. I really wish I had a Lumia. Yeah, what an upset. Yeah, I know. Cabinet finally lets us down. But yeah, if you if you want to get involved, if you're like, yeah, this is just kind of the silliness I enjoy. Go to go to GitHub. Look up the W O A project. You can you can join increase that that team of 15 people. You'll get your own personal self satisfaction out of it. I don't I don't know that there are any terribly practical things come out of it, but you know, there's no one that 5.7 inches kind of works. Please look at that is interesting that the Windows 11's design adapts to that small screen pretty nicely on its own. Yeah, yeah, that's interesting. Well, on Saturday, in fact, this Saturday, July 3rd, our science correspondent doc doctor Nikki Ackerman's releases the first episode in a limited series called Seniors in Tech, where she interviews seniors examining how technology has impacted their lives in a variety of ways. The first episode kicks off with Allison Sheridan and now her engineering background ended up being a gateway to not only technology, but also podcasting. Check out your DTNS feed this Saturday, July 3rd. That's where it will be. The organization for economic cooperation and development released a framework Thursday to set a minimum tax of 15% for the world's 100 biggest companies. Now that's targeted mostly at tech, but the U.S. was able to get it to just apply to the company no matter what business they're in. It's a standard and legal practice for a company to headquarter itself in a country with a low tax. Not illegal. It's not even unethical. It's it's a thing companies do. They're like, you know what? We will charge our branches in other countries to move our taxable profits into the lowest tax area we operate in. The idea of this new agreement is to dissuade companies from doing that and provide tax revenue for all the countries where a company operates rather than just the one where headquarters as such, the agreement acknowledges the right to tax where your customers are not just where a business's physical presence is. That's how this tax works right now is like, oh, I'm headquartered in Ireland. All my revenue gets credited to the Ireland branch and then I pay the low Irish rate. This would allow countries to without causing a controversy with other countries set a tax like no where your customers are is how we're going to tax you not where your headquarters is 130 countries including China, India and the United States agreed to the framework. Only about nine countries did not sign or did not agree. That includes Ireland, which has a corporate tax rate well below 15% and is therefore the European headquarters pretty much all the big tech companies, but it also includes Estonia, Kenya, Nigeria, Barbados, Peru, Sri Lanka, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Hungary. Some of those like Kenya and Nigeria want more reassurances that they won't lose revenue because companies actually have real physical presences in their countries, but the tax ends up going somewhere else. Countries who do sign will agree to pass laws such that the minimum effective corporate tax rate will become 15% for companies that meet the following criteria. Global revenue of $20 billion and a profit margin above 10%. Again, the US pushed for this to be irrespective of what business the company is in, but that 10% profit margin would leave Amazon out. So France lobbied to allow business units to qualify separately from the parent company because the low margin part of Amazon is the retail side and AWS would therefore qualify for the tax. To meet the 15% target, a lot of countries, including the United States plan to change their tax rules to apply to where the revenue is generated before those transfers. So the transferring profits to low tax countries would have no advantage because you're going to get taxed on it anyway. US President's administration wants to raise the minimum tax on US based companies, foreign profits from 10.5%, which is what it is now to 21%. G20 ministers are meeting to approve the deal July 9th and details like possible exemptions will be hammered out by October. The new rules are intended to be implemented in 2023 at the earliest. Taxes, man. Talking about taxes. I think that this is a big push. Biden's administration has made the idea of a global tax a priority specifically Janet Yellen. That being said, I think we've got a we've got miles to go before this thing actually happens and there's a lot of potential of, you know, pitfalls for it up to an including the idea of what the exemptions are going to be and whether or not one of these massive players specifically, you know, China, India and the United States for one reason or another. Do not see eye to eye and bulk on it. That being said of all the global initiatives, the one that brings in more money into the coffers of these mega powers is something that I do think they can all agree on like their self-interest are aligned aside from some of these like kind of famous tax haven company or countries like Ireland and some of the other ones that you listed. I am I'm fairly confident that this will get passed somehow that they will come do an agreement. There's there's too much momentum for it. The tech companies aren't even fighting it. They're expressed reason for supporting it is they think it would be better to have clear rules and not this more complex system that causes them to jump through all these hoops. The unexpressed reason is probably regulatory capture, which is like, Hey, we're already here at this level of money. So yeah, set a rule that makes it harder for someone to grow into into our business. But I think there will be something here. I think you're right that what the exemptions are will be very interesting to watch. And whether it actually works, you know, the idea is that we're going to tax you anyway, whether you headquarter in Ireland or Barbados or somewhere else. So what's the point? And whether that that actually happens and whether that dissuades companies from doing that and whether it hurts those countries, which is the other reason that Ireland is against it. They're like, Hey, we don't want to have everybody suddenly move out of Ireland because. Yeah. Yeah. And that's and that's the thing is Ken an international tax framework run faster than all of the accountants on the planet. We'll see the fact that they got this far stuns me. So I'm like, Well, shoot, if they could get if they could get this far there's but like saying there's a chance it's there. Will it work? That's in May. The greatest state in the Union, Florida passed the law prohibiting social media platforms from banning anyone running for public office in Florida. It also stopped platforms from censoring journalistic enterprises based on their content. During though an exemption was given to companies that owned and operated a theme park. I wonder how that got in there. Tech trade groups challenged the law in court arguing that it violated a constitutional right to make editorial judgments and was preempted by section 230 which prevents platforms from being liable for their content moderation decisions. U. S. District Judge Robert Hinkel issued a preliminary injunction preventing parts of the law from taking effect. Judge Hinkel said the law would restrict speech by dictating to platform operators who can use their site and what content they can post. The judge did not find that Florida had showed a compelling public need for the law writing quote leveling the playing field promoting speech on one side of an issue or restricting speech on the other is not a legitimate state interest and quote state of Florida will appeal the ruling to the 11th U. S. Circuit Court. I can't wait to this get to the Supreme Court. Well, let's just put it right in front of Justice Thomas right now. I want to see what he says because that's where it's going to end up. It's all about whether the first amendment applies and if so how and whether section 230 applies and if so how this compelling state interest is is one that judges can justifiably have different viewpoints on when they're like hey but we're talking about campaigns. We're talking about public officials here. Maybe there is a difference that I could seal a legal theory being crafted for that. So I I I know where this is headed and I'll just sit back and relax and wait for that Supreme Court decision probably next year or sometime. There are folks who don't follow politics or are you know not dialed into the United States flavor of politics. The governor of Florida currently is Rhonda Santis who is not only up for reelection in the state of Florida which has become increasingly read over the past few years. In 2022 but is also somebody that is a possible 2024 Republican front-runner for the presidency of the United States. He's made a couple big splashy conservative leaning legislative pushes lately. This is one of them. But I do agree with you Tom this is not quite the slam dunk that I think some people who would be critical of the law think that it is when you're dealing with public service. Right like is there an element of freedom that you have some uncancelability and also are you which side of the first amendment are you on when you're protecting the rights of journalistic outlets to publish things like that that to me is a legitimate question. Well you might have a question about this next story a coding error has been spotted in a video displaying Sir Tim Burner's Lee's original worldwide web source code which recently sold for five point four a million dollars as an NFT to an unidentified buyer. Now the NFT included time stamped files of the source code and an animated video of it being written it's kind of part of the package that's what you're buying but Miko Hypenen from security company F secure notice that the symbols greater than and less than had been translated into HTML as ampersand I T and ampersand GT the website creator that was showing the video Marco Neil said the video for the website ran the original text file through something that just converted it to HTML he trust that the original code is error free but just goes to show you an NFT little little typo in there yeah now this is fascinating because I mean how many times does this happen to you where you're you're less than a greater Dan Dan's become LT's and GT's I've seen that happen a million times and ours Technica's Tim Deschant speculated that potentially if the code is fixed if the video was made off the actual code in the original NFT that would mean they recreated the NFT and the way NFTs work if you recreate one you don't destroy the original one yeah and so if that were true there's a lot of ifs there a lot of ifs there but if that were true sitting on a hard drive somewhere might be the mistaken code which then becomes the upside down airplane stamp of the NFT world yeah I mean that's that's what's fascinating to me is that if we are to understand that NFTs are simply just electronic collectibles then if you look at the collectibles market the most valuable ones are the ones that are kind of screwed up those are the ones that wind up going for the most amount of money they're rare yeah the rare albino worldwide web NFT you have only seen in the wild once you finally the the original went for 5.4 million but the ampersand LT version that one that one went for 10 that's the special one 5.4 million dollars I got to say I expected more not that that's not a lot of money but yeah seeing what NFTs do go for this is a pretty big one and it's the worldwide web for goodness that's what I'm saying I check out your yeah using a right now people come on but right now I still think we're in an emerging market where people don't like okay well that's a cool NFT will there be a cooler one that comes out in yeah weeks that that is that is more into my interest of the origins of the web like I don't know I think that the the big question with NFTs in general aren't necessarily what they're selling for now it's what they're going to resale for in years five years right right all right let's get to the bail bag so we know some of you don't have time to listen to GDI at least not every day are you just DTNS we like to give you options but Kevin wrote in with some feedback we found warm and fuzzy Kevin said today's been a pretty long day following a few rough weeks months year I was really feeling it and then I started today's episode I was so caught off guard at the flood of positive emotions I felt when the new music started talking about GDI that along with a bright cheerful artwork which we just updated by the way has instantly made me feel better and ready to have a good rest of my day can't wait to unpause the show and listen to my friends for the next hour yeah yeah thank you that was so nice of you to to write in and tell us that it made my day to see that I'm glad that we seem to have also possibly made your day so very cool thank you thank you Kevin warm and fuzzies all around if you have if you have anything like that or you I don't know you just want to I don't know you're having a bad day you're having a good day you're having a bad day of a question of a comment anything we'd like to hear its feedback a daily tech news show dot com be gentle please but we'll take shout out to patrons that are master and grandmaster levels

Still talking, security operatives have forwarded an attack by bandits by killing an unspecified number of them and recovered 300 cattle in Zamfara state. Now, the state governor, Bello Matoale, disclosed this on Sunday via Twitter, then the operation was led by the state commissioner for security and internal affairs. Matoale also shared photos showing the cattle recovered, which were wrestled by the bandits at Kuraji near Rijia, Taskadawa in Gozo, local government area of Zamfara state.


What is going on guys welcome back to the YouTube video still looking at the Linux Offset Club Wargame you can find online just at that URL Let's jump back into it. We were just at user seven and Let's go connect and try to see what this level is like Linux Offset Club We'll paste in this password that we've got here and All right, where are we at now? We can just cat out this password attacks Okay, it tells us nope. Just uh Just nope don't know why that is is that Is is is that just what is in this? Okay? No the the file 16 bytes not only for not only those letters of cares Those characters so what's going on? Can I cat to begin with? No, can I cat anything? No Okay, are there any aliases set up? Is there are we trying to nerf the command? Oh, nope Nope nope. I don't know why that's funny. I'm sorry. Okay. No, there are no aliases set up for the cat command So what's going on? What are we doing? Are we running the correct cat command? Okay? No Using the which command I'm able to see the path of where this file what file is actually being executed here We can see we're running user local broke cat, which is probably not What we think it was let's actually just view that file What do I do I have less do do I have less even? No, I don't okay. Jeez. What about more? Do I have more I don't Well, what is my path? Okay, user local broke is the first thing user local broke Okay, all of these things that you would probably expect to use are not working well They're all looks like just bash grips. Oh, yeah, just that just to echo the nope command echo the echo the string Nope, it's not a command. Wow. Okay. I Guess they forgot grep though. So that's kind of a funny thing. You can just probably grep password text for anything Nice, that's a that's a worry around it or we could use the original actual cat command Let's locate it in like forward slash bin. We can run that on cat and that will work just fine. Nice. Okay. Let's take note of that What is that user eight now, yep, okay login for user eight is each piece land 64 cool Let's jump into him. We are logged in and go here cyber chef is Okay, that's That's literally that's literally the file name, but it's there's nothing in there. Okay password text. Ah Okay, so cyber chef a lot of this looks like base 64 you can tell but the trailing equal sign and Let's see what we've got here Cyber chef is an online tool That lets you do some really neat things that you may commonly run into in a Capture the flag competition. So our input here we can paste in and the output is what we can Modify based off the recipe that's kind of in the middle here and on the left hand side all these operations or these things We can do to actually operate on the data looks like in the favorites it had from base 64 You can use that as an option and oh, okay, you can see it's running where That first line looks like it's just the word where but the rest of it is not really Playing nicely with us. So what else can we do? But if if that's under Base 64 data format is where that actually lives rather than favorites we can from base 64 What are all these other encodings? Maybe this is base 32. Let's drag that in Let's turn off the base 64 No Huh What if we remove that part now? Oh, yeah, okay Since that base 64 is out of the way Because we knew that was base 64. Maybe just this part is base 32 and looks like that gives us the word would So where would let's put this somewhere where would Now what's this last bit is this next in the list is base 58 Let's turn off base 32. Oh, we don't have anything else in there. So we can't yet We don't want to we want from base 58. Oh Okay, and known 80 nice that Decoded just fine. So where would known 80 that looks like it is probably a password based off of the stuff We've seen so far. So let's just put that in user nine dot text right cool and Let's disconnect and go check that one out User nine we are logged in cool check out password dot text. Hey this is probably not the password, but perhaps a hash and a Maybe an MD5 hash maybe really low hanging fruit simple one And I I'm saying that because this looks like 32 characters of just hex characters a through F is your through nine And let's test that. Yep. Okay 33 including the new line character Yeah So that's got to be 32 characters of that actual string Let's throw that into like a hash cracker that we could probably just find anywhere online Crack station will work just fine. I know that's like the pretty easy default. I'm not a robot Crack these hashes. Okay, cool success shark bait is what that actually What that was the original string here It was hashed and performed like a one-way function to turn into this hexadecimal garbage Nice, let's note that as user nine No, my what that is user 10 my bad because I was we were just in user nine user 10 shark bait Cool, let's try and connect to user 10 now Shark bait heck. Yeah, we're in. Okay, cool Simple challenges simple levels in this one a few of the users We able to knock out seven through nine and we'll jump into 10 through 12 in the next video Thank you guys for watching. Hope you guys are enjoying these


So those guys that said they can't afford M.I.C. too expensive, how expensive are your shoes? I bet you it cost more than my shoes. And I bet you I made more than money than you today. Not going to win if I'm just joking around. But that's the fact guys. You have to prioritize what is important in your life. People say, oh, it's too expensive.     Because you can't pay another $100 a month.  Well, if you can afford Hennessy, you can do it. But you know, don't complain. You can't afford it.  I hate brand name clothes, man. Seriously.   That shit's on a Haines underwear shirt that says Gucci.    I'm buying the company. Shit like that. Buying shares of the company. You know, that's the next level up guys. Stop making other people rich.   But you know what man? People like brand name because it makes them feel good. Makes them look like they're rich but they're really poor. Anyways. Anyways, I won't get into that.    Can you give me a discount? I'm broke. You're broke because of your mentality. I'm going to teach you how to join MIC for free today. Okay? Today is all about how to prioritize your life. How to basically get the most out of MIC. How to join MIC for pretty much for free guys. The members are in MIC right now. They're using the watch list. They're using the watch list. But before we get down, let's talk about the webinar real quick. Tomorrow is Tosh's webinar. It's a free webinar. It's like an hour long. And Tosh posts it every tomorrow. You'll see it. It's free. We post it on every single Wednesday guys. Every single Wednesday we call it new member orientation. But the new member orientation actually we change it now to be a lot more than just a new member orientation man. I actually, I started to attend weekly now with Tosh because I kind of love it. I do live trading. I teach channel trading. I do live. This is the only time that you see live trading for me and all that stuff.  Because I'm having fun man. The key is I have so much fun at Tosh's webinar. I started to go back every week.  I attend. I just watch it. But now I'm having so much fun. And it's been a tradition that and knock on wood. I've been making money every single knock on wood.  These live trading has been very prosperous for myself. So why not, right? Why not educate and make some money during the webinar that Tosh does tomorrow. 2 p.m. market time.  My investing club on the YouTube channel. Every Monday Alex does a YouTube live around 11 a.m. I do mine on Instagram at 11.15. Joe Kelly does a large cap and options webinar for two hours on Tuesdays, which is tonight. If you join tonight, you get to see it.  And then Thursday night, Loa Austin does his strategy webinar on Thursdays at 7 p.m. Same thing with Joe. Joe does it on 7 p.m. So dude, we have so many ways for you to learn every single day of the week. And then Saturday we have weekend mentoring every other week too to review charts. And then there's lifetime only events. So my God, man, happy, happy.  They're teaching you anything.     You know, that's the difference.   You get what you pay for, man. But we give you the greatest value, guys. I don't know what else to do anymore. I'm not going to negotiate on price. I'm not going to get what you pay for, guys. I'm not going to be the Hyundai excels of the world. We're keeping to the Ferrari. We are priced as a Ferrari. But you know what, man? To be honest, we're not priced as Ferrari. We are the Ferrari, but price is very inexpensively. And for 200 bucks, guys, a month, dude, we give you the watch. The watch list is meant to do two things. I'll show you how to use the watch list. Okay? So the obvious way to use the watch list is to follow the trade plans. And members today have followed the trading plans and made money.  They're making their whole membership in one day. You can basically do this.  I don't want to jinx myself. You know what? This is the process that Alex and I use. All the members they use. JJ has been using this.  I've been posting his P&Ls every day. It's insane. Today is like four grand. The other day was like nine grand, ten grand. I think it was like 20 something thousand the other day. I'm like, dude, think about that. That's life changing money. And how was he able to do that?  He's not copying my place. He's learning the process.  Okay?  We teach you to become a self-sufficient trader. There's nobody out there, guys.  There's nobody out there that does not pump like we do. We do not pump at all. We put out a watch list. That's as close to pumping as we can get. Which is not really pumping. It's giving you our guidelines. Our trading plans. And you think about this. Today, VTSI. I posted on Twitter. I posted.  Same thing. We shorted the $8.50, $9 line. Boom. Money. The problem is this. VTSI was $7. Can you have the discipline to wait for your lines? That's part of the process.  The problem is we as the trader fucks up. We mess up because of FOMO. Greed. Chasing. It may be. Self-doubt. Fear. And so, you're like $7 right now. It's broken, pal. It's broken. Why can't I slam the bid? Because I'm like, dude, it's going to freaking trap. I know this. This is part of the process. And so, I'm waiting. I waited at the $9 line. You saw my prints on Twitter, guys. You see my prints every day of my trading chart. We know how these things run because I have experience. Alex has experience. Our members have experience. And we help guide you guys. And so, even if we give you guys the best trading plans, the best strategies, the best everything, most people fail because they cannot have the discipline to wait, to wait for that $8.50 line to start shorting. They're shorting at $7.00. And by the time $8.00 comes, they're blown out. They're stopped out. And I'm just sitting here waiting for all those guys to stop out at the $9.00 line. Okay? So, I'm sitting, looking at my chart, man. I'm sitting there, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell. They have my hits. I fail. It drops down. Okay? I don't cover yet because I know the area I want to cover it. Take a look at my chart once again. It goes back to $9.00. Boom. I'm shorting again.  Because a couple of things. I trust my system. I trust my process. What's the worst that I can do? I lose. People are afraid. It's because they're afraid to blow up. They're afraid of the unknown. You know what we always tell people? Predefine your risk. We're the only wearer ones that teach you risk management, guys. I'm not fearful because we tell you to put the hard stop in. If you're shorting the $9.00 line, put a hard stop in at $9.50, something like that. At least you would not be scared because you know what the maximum you're going to lose. We always say, size down, widen your stops. So, put a thousand shares out there. Okay? You could take a 30-cent loss if you want. But the fact that if you take a 30-cent loss on a thousand shares, that's 300 bucks. If that's scary, size down. Do 500 shares. You know? Do 200 shares. You're scared because of a couple of things. Of the unknown. You can mitigate the unknown by pre-defining your risk. Know where you're going to take the loss. Know how much money you are going to take the loss. That's a halt.      Even joining the church nowadays is not safe.  So, what the fuck, dude? That's life, bro. The point is this, though. You can tell which one is false because you use a certain trading platform that tells you the halt before it comes. Okay? I know before a halt comes. And I see it on my DOS trader platform before it halts. I can't exit if I wanted to. Today, VTSI halted at the $7.70 line or something like that. And I was okay with that. I wanted to halt. I wanted to halt so that people get all anxious and then they build up and they boom. And so we know how to make easy risks. So, if you are still scared it means you're sizing too large size down, guys. Size down, widen your stops. And you know what, man? Part of trading is being able to take a loss. It's like learning martial arts, judo, whatever it is. The first thing they teach you is how to properly fall. Taekwondo, karate. They teach you how to properly take a hit without getting knocked out. Same thing with trading, guys. And trading is like a boxer, man. You want to become a boxer. You must be okay. We're getting hit in the face. But you roll with the punches. You don't get knocked out. You roll with the punches. This is the same thing with doing hard stops, guys. You roll with the punches. And you size accordingly. It's not going to halt and open up like $25 higher.  But if you're going to be scared of that happening, which is a true black swan, that might as well not trade. But you know what? You have ways to mitigate all that. You set up your max daily loss at the broker level. And that's all you do. This is why we put in, we tell people to take out their money. You know? I make money. I take it out every week. And so, you see the P&Ls that Alex and I make, guys? We don't have millions of dollars in our account. Today, I think I had like $45,000 account today because I didn't take my money out yet. I made money yesterday and the day before, so I didn't take my money out. But I usually reset my money back down. And so, the money you see me making, it's like 8% of my account. Per account. I trade with two accounts on a bigger account, but you see, man, I can make that money every day. So, the money you see me making, $6,000, $10,000, the day, it may not sound a lot to the normal individual. It's because these other guys are trading with millions of dollars. I see guys with a $10 million position trying to scout 50 cents. You know, they're bragging about being in $16 million positions to make $100,000. I mean, dude, I'm not going to risk $16 million to make $100,000. You know? So, that's the thing people don't want to see. People will just look at the PNLs. I don't like to post PNL because it's arbitrary, guys. Take a look at the charts. Why am I the only one who's posting a chart on Twitter?  Every day. I do fine. You can tell if I make money or not by my charts. The point is the education that I value, you guys. I value how to properly trade. I am trying to change the industry, which I think I have before I launched at MIC, before we launched at MIC. Everyone's using moving average, all that. No one's using lines. Remember they used to make fun of the lines in the zombie rule? Now we're talking about the zombie rule in the lines, right?  It's not just the drawing lines. It's how to use the application. How to use that knowledge as a zombie to profit from both a short seller and a long buyer's trader. I love the zombie hour, to be honest. I'm waiting for broken stocks to bounce during the zombie hour. So I'm gonna short them. And I tell my guys all day long about that. And I teach guys in MIC how to profit from the zombie rule, the 3PM rule, and the reversal hour rule, things like that. So when you see the watch list that we provide, guys, the watch list that Alice provides is actually a short seller. So when he's talking about VTSI, $8.50. Okay? As a long buyer's trader, you know you should be selling there. You should take some money off the table. So what happened today? I see a chatroom guy pumped. VTSI, he was down a ton of money. He was the only one that got out. His whole room got backed. Back hold. Because they don't understand these things that we're teaching. They don't understand resistance and support and the proper lines and the idea of easy to borrow.  They're just falling as sheep. They're chasing this guy's alerts. They don't understand that they are the ones that are moving his trades. And so as a long buyer's trader, some people went long. I think Alex went long at VTSI. Okay? You go long at VTSI knowing that they're gonna get pumped up, right? But where do you sell these guys that hold onto VTSI?  So, how do you use the watch list? Even though the watch list is short sellers information, you know where I am shorting, where Alex is shorting, where the professional real shorts are entering. Because I would like to consider myself a real short seller, a professional. I hate to use that term, but you know, I'm as close as a professional as a retail can get, right? Even though I'm in my underwear walking around. But the key is, VTSI, you use that, if you're a short seller, easy. You just follow the trading plans. If you are a long buyer's trader, you see those numbers. So if you are in that stock, guys, you know where to exit. That's the key. You cannot profit from a stock until you sell.   These guys are diamond hands on GME, AMC, all those. They went bankrupt.    I own the diamond mind.  When I own the diamond mind and I'm pumping out as many diamonds as you want, diamonds could be worthless right now. Diamonds are produced in a laboratory right now. You know, you can't even tell real diamonds anymore.    Forget the diamond hands.  That stock went up to the resistance. VTSI, $9. Dude, and it came back down like $1.50 to $7.50. That's where I covered. Shorted $9 covered down to the $7.50 line. That's a $1.50, guys. So, you know, Long's profit by knowing where to sell. And I warned all the time, like yesterday, S-E-A-C. Before it popped out, I warned the members. I'm a short sell. I'm like, be careful about this. I am covering, taking my loss because anything is going to pop. So the moment that happened, a lot of members went long. Same thing with P-F-M-T today. Take a look at my chart. I covered it. I said, well, that stock. But then I noticed something weird. It was weird. It was not going back down anymore. And so from experience, I'm reading the tape. I'm doing all this stuff. And I'm like, dude, this is not a short anymore. So you take a look at what I covered. $2.08, $2.09. And then it spiked to the $2.50. Literally, guys, 30 seconds after I covered. I warned the guys in the room. I covered. Be careful about shorting this stock. And then boom, it spikes up. So, because I'm a short seller, you're like, how do I take advantage of that if I'm a long buys trader? You take advantage by doing the opposite of what I'm doing. Right? If I'm shorting at that line, sale at that line. If I'm covering at that line, go along that line. And that's how we work together. Because I also go along, guys, when there's opportunities, I go along.  But when I go long, such as the first bounce, it's dead on, dude. It's dead on. That's because a long is nothing more than a buy, right? And a buy is nothing more than a cover. I cover my... I buy, I long all day long, guys. When I cover a stock, I go long. Right? I buy. A buy is a buy. It sells a sell. This one now is long, short, whatever. A buy is a buy. It sells a sell. And so the watch itself has been invaluable. A couple of reasons. Number one, of course you make money off it. Knock on wood. If you fall it, you should be making money. When you don't make money, stop out. We tell you where the risk is. You stop out. It's a risk-reward ratio, right? But more importantly, guys, as a beginning trader, you use the watches to learn. Learn how Alex draws these lines. Learn his mentality of choosing the stock. Alex has done the work for me already. Dude, I've been getting lazy. Not lazy, but I've been... Dude, I live in California, man. It's so hard to wake up, man. And so I wake up later now. And then when I wake up too late, guys, I go and see Alex's watch list. I go, he has already scanned the market for me.  He scanned the market for me already. He already picked out the stocks. He picked out the ones that he thinks is the best trades of the day. Okay? And so if you want to learn, reverse engineer the watch list, try to come up with your own watch list to see how you can draw the lines, to see how he's able to pick those stocks. And that is the key to self-sufficiency. Self-sufficiency is just not chasing. Chasing like a sheep.  And the members are chasing sheep. No wonder they don't move.  They're bragging about making money. I see other Discord chat rooms are just even worse, dude. They're doing the exact opposite of what we teach. They're buying when the stock is dead. That's because they have 100,000 members of sheep.  And they're buying it. They're the first guy buying it.   Right, guys? But you know what, I love it. Man, when they pump a dead stock, you know who's on the other side of the trade waiting at the right lines that we teach?   I'm there, shorting, shorting, shorting at the appropriate time.  Members are losing. They don't care. They just see the main pumper guy make money and they go, and so what he did? I used to be one of those guys when I started trading.  All pumpers knew what they were doing. No wrong, wrong. You know what I did when I started trading? I made it a point to be the fastest sheep in the house.    I need a better computer. Okay, I got a faster computer.  I'm going to start using hotkeys.   That's the reason he started learning how to trade through MSC. He doesn't need hotkeys anymore. He's doing the exact opposite of what he used to do.  Now he's actually more intelligent. But the point is, you know, that's the beauty. I still, you know, we need both sides of the team, guys.   But you notice he stopped using hotkeys.  He stopped talking about these doji candles. He's just talking about lines and levels. We have revolutionized the trading game, guys. Made it super simple. People are not using hotkeys anymore.   I wanted to be the fastest sheep. I didn't realize that I was still sheep. Being the fastest sheep is still sheep. I want to become my own day trader, self-sufficient day trader, understand what I do. And that's what MIC does. All these, all these guys in MIC. I love it, man. I'm seeing James. I'm seeing all the moderators. They're making consistent money. And not because I'm telling you what to do. They're learning. We all start the same guys. We all have to have a great mentor. We all have to... But the thing is this, guys, you can only be as good as your strategies. The problem is this. To get a working strategy that's proven, you can't get it from a newbie. The strategies that I teach, that we teach, that Alex teaches at MIC, we've been training for a long time.  Right? The first red day rule. That was mine from the OTC days. The three-day rule. Things like that, guys. The first resistance, the first bounce, all those, those are proven strategies. If you are chasing the wrong strategy, you're fucked. You can be 100 years on a losing strategy. Okay? So that's the thing you have to be careful about. These new guys coming up, guys, they're trading for a year. You have to understand how they're making the money. They're making the money through pumping. Stocks only go up, right, guys? That's how it goes down, right? And so you have to be very careful, guys, to learn the right strategy. Because you know what, man? If you ask yourself, this is the test. This is the food test. If you strip away all of their followers, if you strip away their chat room, if you strip away their ability to pump, will they still be profitable? That's the key, guys. I don't need anybody to pump to make my money. You don't even know what I'm in until I'm exiting. That is the beauty. Look at this.  That is a true day trader. Not someone who front loads low floats. They're where their strategy is only to hit low floats because they have thousands of sheep moving low floats.  No, you cannot. If the SEC comes and busts them one day, you're toast.  Okay, guys? So you can color it, whatever. But that's the thing. We're not flashy.  It pisses Alex and I off. We work so damn hard because we truly want you guys to learn. And sometimes we're like, dude, should we just become a fooboo? You know how much more money I could make just by selling alerts? You don't think everybody wants to learn my trades?  Live trade. I can set up a live trading account. Maybe I'll do that. You want to join? Thousand dollars a month, motherfucker. Thousand dollars a month.  Thousand dollars a month. All I need is a few guys to make a million bucks. Right? Think about that. Thousand dollars a month. All I only need is a hundred guys. I'm pretty sure it's more than a hundred guys. It would pay me a thousand dollars to copy my trades, guys. But this is the thing you don't understand. People go, the trolls, the trolls are trolling me daily. There's a reason they're trolling me. Okay? They're not trolling these other motherfuckers. They're trolling me. Because I'm the guy that knows what they're doing. So sometimes I think they're the trolls, the competitor. And they always say this, guys. They always say, Bow, this is their only argument. Bow, if you make so much money, why do you need to charge? Motherfucker.  Why is he still working on Amazon? Why isn't Amazon free?  I want to make money. This is capitalism.  Go vote for Bernie Sanders. Go move to Venezuela. Go move to China. They're a communist country. Shit's free. This is capitalism. That's the funny part. These guys are trading stocks. Stocks is the epitome of capitalism. And they're questioning, why am I charging? I can charge a lot more, guys. Seriously, I can charge a ton more. And the way I do it, the reason is, think about this, guys. I was doing well for a long time. I've taught a lot of great traders. I'm the guru's guru, right? I am your mentor's mentor. There's a reason why I started to do this. And with the right people like Alex and Tosh, right?   So I launched this thing.   But I still do it the right way. I still do it the right way. If I want to make money, guys, it's guaranteed. I'll do live trading. I'll sell alerts.  I'll make a ton of money. I wouldn't post my charts. Why am I posting my charts for free? I'll just post P&L. I'll grow my room, you know? I'll start a free Discord chat room. The reason this Discord chat room don't charge is because they have 100,000 sheep. They need sheep.  They're not there to educate. We are there to educate. By education, we need money to pay for education. We're not here to pump. That's why I have to charge. Think about that, man.    They're not charging because they have unintelligent sheep. The most scary thing that we can do as humans, as a leader, as a human, I consider each of us as, let's say, our own separate country, right? MIC is our own separate country. If I was scared, I would never educate. This is why women was never educated when they were young. These countries, women don't get a chance to vote. They can't work. They can't do it because they're scared. The leaders are scared of uprising. Once people understand they're going to uprising and go, this is not fair treatment. But we are here educating our members and they're still here. You don't hear anything bad about MIC. We want them to learn. I always tell people we rule by love and not by fear, guys. People love MIC. They don't fear us. What they fear is these other chat rooms are their means of making money. Imagine if these three chat rooms have no members. The pub rooms, things like that. I want to educate everybody by educating everybody. Actually, if I'm doing things wrong, guys, you guys will know. You guys will leave.  You got to bow, motherfucking bow. I'm teaching you guys all the tricks that these scammers do. They buy low-flows across the week to identify one stock. They usually do this. So a stock gets pumped up, boom, boom, boom, and it dies off if people forget about it. So they're accumulating across three days. A solid position. They're waiting, and then what they do is they're going to tell their friends first, their moderators, their friends, and their friends accumulate. So now they have a team of guys accumulating a stock. And because they're so low, they can put support in. They're putting a bit of support in. And then they're pumping it to their members.   Why did they not alert you three days ago when they're accumulating? Why did they only alert you when the stock parabolic's up?     You think about that, man.   So my goal is to educate everybody so that they, so the masses can rise up and revolt against the evil empire, I call it. There's an evil empire out there. Same thing with Broker. Look at how cheap locates are now. I think I have a great deal to do with that. MIC has helped the locate game get very cheap. You know what I'm saying? So think about this, man. You think I paid for my own locates, guys. Cobra doesn't give me free locates. I pay for my commission.  I pay retail the same thing as you do, guys. There's a reason I do that. No one can buy me. You think you can buy me for a free locate?  And I keep the integrity of both sides so that you know if you join Cobra, guys, if you join our system, we're not taking advantage of you.  Same thing with the moderates. You can ask the moderates in our room, guys, right? We have them on chat, but that's just to discuss the members and how to keep the, you know, administration going. It's not to pump stocks. If you ask every moderator, they think there's a secret club. There's no secret club, right, guys? Who's the moderator? James. James. You're there, JJ?   Tosh doesn't know what stocks I trade. And neither does Alex now. To Alex is my tab. We just know the tickers that we're gonna hit. And during that, it's too fast, guys. If you ask Alex, I mean, Alex doesn't even talk during the train day because we know how each other trades. You know, I met George Alex at the point where Alex is basically like a better version of me, okay? I want my, I want my guys to be better than me, guys. I am the first generation, guys. I want everybody to be better than me. So that's how it is. So, you know, it's been a long time since I've read about this, but it's gonna come. It's gonna come when the market's gonna crack itself. We've been in a 13, 14-year bull market. And so, it's gonna come when the market's gonna start crashing down. It has to. It has to. And who's left, guys?  Who's pumping. It's gonna be the guys at the MIC licking their chops, realizing that they've spent the past year learning, learning, and struggling. They think they're struggling, but they're not. I have them.  To force you not to copy my homework. Copying homework is copying trades, guys. Look at Dabrin. See, all these guys, JJ. Right, guys? Look at JJ.  He's doing better than me on many days. I love it. He learned the right way. You know what I'm saying? He's learning the right way. And if you talk to every MIC member, guys, we don't pump our positions, man. We don't pump our positions. And this is bizarre to some people. But you know what, man, not everybody creates the same guys. I want people to be... It's not a right to be inside MIC. We kicked out a lot of bad people out of MIC. I treat online as if it's my friends on the outside world.  Look at me, man. I'm a very different individual. Good or bad is who I am. I have my certain sort of integrity about certain things and about certain things not. But you know, you want the right mixture in the community. Otherwise, it spoils it. So we kicked a lot of guys out who complained about us not giving out alerts. Some guy goes, I want to join. I joined because I thought you were going to give me out alerts. I wanted to be sitting by you, met you.     Okay, we should get there. We need HR for that. But anyways, you guys get the point, man. I want to keep this nice and short, but I'm going to summarize real quick, guys. It's a very simple process to make money trading. Very simple, but simple doesn't mean easy.  You know what, man? This is a very thing.  Within two years, I can make you rich. Most people would not do it.  That's the thing. That's the thing with trading in MIC, guys. Give me one to two years. I guarantee you. If you follow and become disciplined, you will be rich. Look at JJ, look at all the moderates, guys. Every guy that's in my MIC sees that. They're coming out. The beauty, I know how it works is because when I post my charts, guys, there's five or 10 other members who are posting similar charts, if not better charts. They know how to enter. They know how to exit. Look at Stefan, where's this guy? So all the moderates, the junior moderates, they learn. I promote them as they learn our system.   But people don't use it enough. People use it the wrong way. So give me that year, guys. I will teach you. It's not easy. Simple does not mean easy. But I've taught a lot of motherfuckers and become millionaires in MIC as well. I don't brag about that like other people because the guys, I mean, dude, I've taught, I mentor mentors. I'm your mentors mentor, right? But anyways, but that's what we're doing. I'm gonna end it here, guys. Hit up Tosh. Tomorrow we have a free webinar. If you're interested in MIC, if you're interested in changing your life, if you're interested in becoming rich, I hate to use that word. There's many religions become rich. Rich through friendship, whatever. We have a great community, guys. If you need a job in MIC, not MIC, don't ask for a job in MIC, but we have guys or engineers, doctors, lawyers, whatever in your field, you know, become friends. That's what After Hours MIC is about. I created that as a social network. Instead of going to Facebook, Tinder, all that bullshit, meet like-minded, goal-oriented, good, solid people to become friends with at MIC. They're great guys at MIC. That's why we keep the price where we do. It sets a minimum bar.   Those guys are not worth my time.  Because I'm not that type of guy, guys. I'm a very generous guy. I get drunk as you guys know. Get free water.  That's who I am. I want friends like that around our community, okay? So tomorrow, free webinar, 2 p.m. if you're serious, text Tosh, okay? Text Tosh, he will help you today. Tell him you want to become rich. You want to help your family. You want to change your... Take a look at the Instagram testimonials, guys. Families' lives have been changed. And that's the reason why we do this. Yes, MIC is the country club for the everyday man.   He makes them millions of dollars, right? He hit me.  I always love bragging about other people.  To be honest. We're good people. But you wouldn't know. You wouldn't even know. I have people say, hey, you know, you're like a rock star to me. Yeah, I feel weird. Because I'm just a normal guy. But Alex and I... I'm gonna end it with this good story, guys. I'm gonna end it with a very good story that Alex said. So Alex was feeling good. He went to a restaurant. And this person from Spain, he really speaks English, just came over. He was really nice to Alex. He let him stay when the restaurant was closed. So Alex gave him a big tip.  He gave him a $200 tip. And the guy was so grateful. And then Alex came back the other day. Just yesterday, he came back to the same restaurant. And the guy started following Alex on Instagram. Right? Mine's the best club. And Alex is just making... Alex made like 10G today. But yesterday he only made like $1,000. And sometimes we forget. $1,000 for a normal guy is a lot of money for working one hour. So Alex was feeling kind of bummed out. I underperformed. Alex was crying.  When making $1,000 in one hour is crap. We have to get over that mentality. So the guy was like, oh my God, Alex, you traded amazingly yesterday. Because the guy is a server in a small town in New Jersey.  And that's a good day. 200 bucks is a good day. And then he's looking at Alex, making $1,000, sitting on his ass, not even bringing a sweat in one hour. He's like, that's amazing. He wants that. We don't... We don't... We've been doing this so long sometimes, guys, that we forget. $200 a day is life-changing money, guys. And we tell people all the time. We do not sell the dream. That's the difference to us and everybody else. Do not quit your job. Do not quit your job. Keep your job. Supplement your income. Quit it when you're ready to quit. Not because you want to. There's no reason to quit your job. By making supplemental income. This is what's going to happen. You will make enough money when you choose your job.  That is what I did. I stopped chasing the money because I made supplemental income through trading to do what I want to do. That is the key. So when people say quit your job, do not quit your job. It doesn't mean to become miserable either. But when you make supplemental income and you have other sources of income, you can now choose your own happiness. Okay, guys?  Okay? All right, guys. We'll see you back in the room. Text Tosh. We'll see you tomorrow at Tosh's webinar.


So let's do this problem Which would be more polar of a bond when bonded to I don't know Sulfur or oxygen Okay, so what do we do we think about the sulfur phosphorous bond? Or the oxygen phosphorous bond? Then we look up the electronegativities of these three elements So this is 2.1 and in fact, this is device Sulphur is 2.5 And oxygen is 3.5 So how do I figure this out? I say minus minus So 2.5 minus 2.1 is 0.4 Device and this is 3.5 minus 2.1. So that's 1.4 device So which one of these is the more polar ball oxygen phosphorous ball? Okay, why? because 1.4 is bigger than And do we need to record another one guys good
