It's a great jobs and we're actually right on time. So should we try the same thing we did yesterday where we really quickly discuss things and go to the exercises? Yeah, I think that's... And then do a post-discussion. Yes, that's a... we can then think about all of the... Like I quickly mentioned, like throughout these coming sessions we have exercise for all of these, but it's very, very hard to create the exercise. Like I used all evening yesterday trying to figure out better exercises. It's very hard to create exercises that throw the... the... the concepts and at the same time they can be run on every kind of a cluster, like they're not only on us, on our cluster, because that would be like not nice for people who are running in different setups. So the exercises, if you think the exercises are... like if you don't feel that they've demonstrated what you would want to... like if you have more stuff you need to... like you would want to do more, then ask in the... ask in the notes about like does this... is this applicable for your program? And maybe we can answer that. But yeah, like it's very hard to write the exercises that are... like these might seem trivial exercises in some sense, but the point is that they're trying to show the... show the concepts. Okay, so we just talked about this, we showed the picture, so I think we're good there. Should we go straight to an exam? Okay, good. So, okay, so what do we do? Should... well, so what's the difference between a rate job and what we did yesterday? So, yes, so we just mentioned the scheme of the embarrassingly parallel. So there was a question in chat wise called embarrassingly parallel. That's because like it's embarrassingly easy, it's easy to do.  But it makes it so that each of these terminals or each of these commands gets executed in a different place with its own like... that definitely has the resource to run the stuff. So previously, when we were running stuff in the queue, we were using these serial jobs and these AS batch scripts. So in the script, we had written what sort of requirements we wanted with the comments, the AS batch comments. We were putting their like time required memory code, that sort of thing. And then we were putting whatever code we wanted. And when we submitted that to the queue, that got executed somewhere. So what if we do that, but we do that multiple times at the same time? And this is the idea behind the array job. So with the array job, we have this array syntax or this comment, this AS batch comment. So over here, we have an array that goes from zero to four. So it goes from zero, one, two, three, four. And what Slurm thinks, when it sees this comment in your AS batch script, in your normal script, it will understand, okay, the user wants to run five copies of the same thing. I will book five different jobs. But as a collective, so I will book five jobs that are independent and they are called an array job. And all of these jobs are the same, exactly the same. And the only difference is that Slurm will set this one environment variable called slurm array task ID. And environment variable, I don't think we mentioned it yesterday, but these are basically like stuff that you can then use in your script. So they are like variable set to the terminal. And when Slurm sets this environment variable, you can then do whatever you want with that as long as that does something. So you can choose, let's say a data set, or you can choose a different parameter or something if you, and it melts multiple ways of doing it, but you can use this environment variable to decide what the program wants to do, basically. So if the number is zero, I'll do something. If the number is one, I'll do something. So maybe we should just go to the example. Like last night, I can make an array job from zero to four. The job zero processes the zero video in the list, one processes the first, and so on, or something like that. Okay, let's, can we see an example? Yeah, let's just do this first example here. So Richard is now going to the SPC examples repository. So in his home directory. So at this point, I again say that it's a good idea to log in to your cluster and go to the SPC examples folder so that you can then do the same kind of thing. Okay, so let's create a new file called the array example of this page. Okay, I'm making it with a dash instead. So I'll copy the basic stuff. Yeah, so let's focus quickly before we move forward. Yeah, okay, this is the basic stuff we did yesterday. Yeah, so the basic stuff, so here we see that this is basically like a normal stuff that you would add to any kind of like a slurm script. And now we're adding two lines, actually. Here we have one line that has these weird characters. We'll talk about them after we see the output probably. But let's just use those because we'll see what mysteries they will provide us. Yeah, so I guess this sets the output file somehow. Yes, and then let's add the array thing. So here we have an array from 0 to 15. So we can calculate that, okay, there's 16 different jobs that we expect. And now let's put some commands below there. So what Richard will place here is that he will put the command called echo, which will just bring stuff onto the screen. And yes, and then he will put this environment variable here. So what we expect, like if we look at this code, what do we expect? We expect that when we give this a slurm, slurm we would book us 16 jobs, one with each array ID. And each of these jobs should print something like an array task number and then the number that they've been given. So let's see if this happens. Okay, so I will ctrl x to exit and save. And should I s batch it? Yes. And again, when we're talking about bash and s batch, remember different words, they are very hard. Annoying to pronounce, but s batch. So s batch array example.sh. And then should I slurm q to see how it's going? Yes, it might. Let's hope that it's not finished. Okay, so now we see that there's lots of these jobs now. Like something really happened. So at the start, we see that there's like strangely two numbers now at the start and we noticed that the first number before the underscore is some number and then after the underscore we have another thing. And this is very easy to decipher. So the first number is the slurm job ID. So when you give this array of the slurm, it will make one of these job IDs for the whole submission and then it will, with this underscore, separate the error ID. So each of these second numbers corresponds to the array ID. So let's check what the output is. So if you type ls, now we see, yes. And if you look at the pattern of what's in the name of these files and compare that to the pattern that we put into the s batch script. So in the s batch script, we wrote dash dash output equals array underscore example underscore. And then this percent capital A underscore percent small a. And these are basically wild cards. There are a few of these in slurm. You can find them all in the slurm documentation or s batch documentation. But basically what slurm does is it feels the array job ID and the array task ID to these environmental variables. So then you get this fancy and nicer looking output. And the outputs don't crash. The main point is that if you write all of these, if you would have only one output file, then everybody of these would be right into the same file. And that makes it impossible to see what is the output really. So what you want to do usually is to divert the output into each so that each task gets its own array task, gets its own output file. So let's look at one. OK. So we're looking at the 0th one, I guess. I will use the less program like I do. And I'm array task 0. Should I look at a few others? Yes. And Q2 quitter. Yeah. So I guess like this. Yes. And do you want to show like slurm history? So if we look at the slurm history, do they all end up on the same node? I think you zoomed in. I can make it smaller. Yes. So you see that 31. Yes. So you see that many of these ended up onto like CSL 44, 36, 31. They ended up on different machines. So they are completely independent and they can end up to different places. So the main thing is that they got the memory and the time they needed. And they all get the same request. So there's no multiple gates or anything like that. Like you don't have to divide anything or something. Like it's just like they all get the same resources. They get the same time, same memory and they are completely independent. So each of these gets 200 megabytes of memory and 15 minutes of time as per the request. So let's, I think we could check. So yeah, what else is there before the exercises? This is basically the main idea. Yeah. So maybe, yeah, we can go for the exercises. But yeah, we have some examples here of different ways you can use this array index. So you can basically, let's say you have different input files. You can put it the array task ID to decide which input file to use. You can use this case syntax. If you scroll a bit down. This case syntax to decide on, like in this case, based on like the Slurka-Margaret task ID, each job will get two set of different parameters. You can also use... And this is bash syntax here. Yes, that's... So bash doesn't just let you type stuff, but it's a whole programming language for running things. So depending on what this is, it sets a seed differently and you notice it gets put as an argument here. Yes. And you can also like read full lines from a file. There's an example of that as well there. And even more things you can do. But I think now it's a good time to maybe just jump to the exercises and let's return to these afterwards. So in the exercises, we previously run the pi.pi to run multiple, like we run the simulations of the pi iterations. So in this case, let's do iterations in the array jobs and let's collect them together and get the better estimate for pi. And in the first exercise, I will mention that like part of the output of the pi.pi is thrown into the standard error and part of it is thrown into this output file. So if you just like use these spats, that's this error, you can like get the JSON output and the rest of the like human readable output separated. So that's why it's mentioned there. So, but yeah, let's just try running these exercises and let's see what happens. Let's see. Yeah. And I guess we come back. Yes. After, well, when do we come back? Well, it's almost break time now. So should we give 15 minutes to work on it? So come back at 15 past the hour? Yes, yeah, I think that's a good idea. And ask your questions in the chapter. There's already like a few good questions. We'll try to answer them. Okay, so here we are, exercise info. Yes, so now's the time you may have lots of questions about how to actually use this. So do let us know. Yes. Okay, so see you in about half an hour. See you. Thanks, bye. Hello, and welcome back. So it looked like people didn't quite have, their exercise didn't quite work out. Yeah, they were. So should we go over them? Yeah, maybe we should quickly go through the exercise one. Do you want to show it to us? Yes, I will come back to it. Okay, to, oh, I'm not sharing. Okay, here we go to my screen. Yeah, we'll add up the code in the future so that it has a flag so that you can quiet the rest of the outputs or something like that so that we don't have to worry about the error. Error, that's something that we'll have to modify in the exercise in the future. So, yes, where are we? So exercise one. So we'll have an array job that combines different iterations and seed values and saves them to different files. Should I open a script? Yes, let's call it like that. No, array exercise one.sh. Yes, and yeah, let's put the usual liturgy there. So in this case, what we want to do is like, okay, we want to ground multiple different seeds, for example, and to do that, let's use the case statement. So let's, in the previous possibilities of how you can use the slurm array task ID, there's this case statement. So this is like Richard mentioned, like bash has its own way of like, it has its own programming language so you can use these case statements here. So based on the value of the slurm array task ID, let's choose numbers for the iterations and for the seeds. Does this look good? Yeah, well, we can try it out, doesn't hurt. Yeah, and let's run a few of these. Okay, and then let's run. We probably have to close the case statement and change the numbers, not everything zero. Yes. And of course, we want to apply the array statement at the top. Yes, okay, so this array will be zero, two, three. Yes. So yeah. SlurmPy.py, and then that number of iterations. Yeah, let's put like what we had in the exam exercise, let's put the output files and the error files. So in the code, like some of the stuff is printed the standard error. In the future, we'll add a flag there that you can silence like doing this number of iterations, this kind of debug flags. So let's, for now, let's just like put all of the, like the output here is the, like the output of the code. So the output that we want to chase an output on and then the error that needs to be the espatch error. Oh, yes. Yeah, so let's put the rest of the printing there. Yeah, we'll add up this in the future. Yeah. But you can do this, like you can do in any code, like it doesn't have to be aggregate code. So if you want to put the errors somewhere else than the output, because sometimes stuff can print like, like a debug stuff and the standard error. Yeah. So yeah. Okay. Let's run this. Does this look good? How many homes do you think they'll be when we try running it? It looks, I guess the main, it looks good to me. I see. Oh yeah. Yeah. That's good. Yeah. And I need to make sure I'm in the correct directory where slurmpy.ply is fine. So I will exit and save, control X, Y. Yes. I will list slurmpy.ply to make sure it's there because if I wasn't in the right working directory, this wouldn't be found. Okay. Should I espatch it? Yes. Are we ready? Yes. Let's go. So two and three are running. Those are the larger number of iterations. So I guess it makes sense they're taking a bit longer. So maybe we want to check one of the output files that already finished. They're done. Oh yeah. So I list, so we see array, exercise one, error and output two, three. So yeah, this first column is what we expected. So should we first list the output and this time I will use the cat program so we can see them both together. So cat has just that in it and if we cat the error, so this is actually doing what we'd expect it to do. So. Yeah. So we shouldn't write in the standard error. I think we should add a flag to silence. Yeah. So this is how some programs work. So the idea there's two different output streams. So the output has only the primary output of the program that will be reread and the error contains these other status messages. If you needed them both and you didn't quite it. Okay. So. Yeah. In the. Should we list a different one? I think we need to move forwards but maybe I could answer one of the questions in the array, I got some questions that was really good. If you'll share my screen. So. Okay. There was. Oh, I'll have to start this. You need to share. Yeah. I'll take this over. Yes. So there was a question in the notes about like how could you use, for example, use our great jobs when you're doing like training a neural network or something. And this is like very common thing. Like the answer was that you can basically like run different type of parameters and that sort of things like learning rates and that sort of stuff on different array jobs. So you can test out different parameter combinations. So this is quite often what people do with that array job. So let's look at these code, for example. So if you quite often, if you're quoting something, you notice that you might have a follow outside there. That you do a for loop over some parameters or something. And then you do run some code and then based on the code, you like maybe plot out the picture or something like that. And this is quite, yeah, okay. It's not showing pulling. So this is quite common. Sorry. So you might have something like this. And for that, you might have a slurms script that submits it that looks like this. But this is not optimal because here you cannot like adapt the like the parameters. You have to hard code the parameters into the code. And that's usually not a good idea because that's inefficient. You cannot easily change parameters and you don't know which parameters you used to run or whatever. And usually the better idea is to use something like this that you've write some sort of like argument handling to your code. So your code read some arguments from a command line, maybe from a file, I don't know. Like it creates a file name. It usually needs to get some argument from the command line so that it can like determine what to do. And then it does whatever it's supposed to do.  So this is like pseudo code. So it doesn't work actually, but like you get the idea probably. So you can now run this array job and because we have the array, you suddenly have twice the like speed, twice the throughput of your program. So now you can run two parameters independently at the same time. If they're completely... Without modifying the code, which is the important part. The only modifications you need, you need to have some logic in the code so that you can give it stuff based on some arguments or some other thing. And this is good in a technical sense. You always want to write stuff that you can like, you don't always have to hard code the parameters of your models and stuff into your code itself. But okay, let's move forward. I think we need to... Yeah, yeah. So can you show exercise five? There's a good question there. Or should I share my screen? Yes, yes. I'll come back to my screen. Yeah. Okay, so exercise five, someone had a question that we said we should go on soon but we'll point out the point here. So the point of the array jobs is that all the boxes are the same size, the same number of CPUs, the same amount of memory. So even though you can tell this memory user program to use different amounts of memory, they all have the same amount of memory requested. So either some of them run out of memory or some of them are requesting too much. And this is not sort of the right way of using array jobs or at least it's not how it's expected if the memory differences are this much. You could put another way. So postal services give box bulk discounts for shipping boxes of the same size and just like this. Yeah, so if you have programs that are like or if you have posted stuff that is very small and you put it in the huge box because some of your stuff fits into the huge box or needs the huge box, that's not the most efficient way of posting stuff. Yeah, like the memes about getting something from Amazon and it came in a box that's far too big. Yeah, so the reason is that they have like a bulk discount on these huge boxes and then they fill it with like environmentally unfriendly and like plastic or something to make up the difference. So it's the same thing. So when you're submitting an array job you would want the jobs to be similar in size. In some cases if you have like, I don't know you want to go through a million things and all of these million things they depend how long they run so that they can be like you don't know when they finish or something. So there are ways of like grouping the jobs together so that you get like similar runtimes for all of these jobs or you can make it so that like each job will run a certain amount of jobs and then you wish that the mean goes towards like a certain value. So if your jobs might take a minute or 10 minutes and then you run like 100 of them the average starts to turn out because of large numbers you start to reach towards the average so you can like decide the time based on the average of like all of the small jobs. But this is like again more complicated stuff and let's not go there but there are ways of tackling these things but usually you want your array jobs each job needs to be similar to the other ones if one has a higher memory consumption then it forces everybody to have a higher memory consumption and that's not good.


As Nigerian youth commemorate the first anniversary of leki toll shooting, we look at some of the unresolved issues including protesters' demands and justice for the victims of police brutality.  It's been a year since the leki toll shooting, a moment that came from the historic ensar's protest. It was triggered by the excesses of special anti robbery squad SASS, the announced disbanded police tactical unit notorious for cruelty against crime suspects. Although SASS activities included on lawful arrest, torture and extrajudicial killings, the protest became a platform to demand government's decisive actions against insecurity, corruption, economic wars, general mal-administration and the lack of opportunities for the youth. To break all of these down, we have with us journalists Imor Eddett and Jonathan Abang. Also we have our correspondent from PLOS TV Africa, Destiny. Destiny, thank you very much for joining us anymore. Jonathan, thank you all for joining us. We're starting these segments with you because you are the fourth estate of the realm and you're going to give us all the reports that you've got. From today and of course last year. But I'll start with Destiny. Destiny Momo is in-house correspondent. She was at the leki toll early this morning down to the afternoon when the police decided to tear gas those who were at the toll gate. Destiny, give us just a basic view of what you saw while you were covering the protest today. When I got to the leki toll gates, the number of protesters I saw, I was shocked because I thought that because of what happened last year, people were not going to come out as much. But the world was amazed when I got there. There were so many people and they were ready because of the pain and anguish over the last year. They had to come to, I don't know, maybe to show love to their loved ones that their lives ended at this toll gate, same time last year. So at the end of the day, the lawyer to the protesters actually came and said that it was time for them to leave. I thought he was perceiving someone's rest sort of. But after he spoke, it wasn't even up to five minutes. We started hearing shots, different sounds, gun shots, tear gas. And then I started running at that point. I knew that I had to start running. But I was shocked because just very three days ago I was interviewing some end-stars, victims, people that were there on that night of the shootout. And then I was getting so emotional when they were pouring out their hearts of what happened. But I never knew that I was going to experience something of that sort myself. So I was shocked that I was actually hearing this gunshot. Because there were a lot of security opportunities around this gunshot. I don't know what I was gunshot or tear gas, but at the end of the day, all I felt was peppery sensation in my eyes, coming straight into my tears, my nose was... I was just feeling this all around peppery sensation and I was practically passing out. I'm trying to understand why or what would have necessitated this act by the police. Because at the time that I was at that toll gate briefly, it seemed to be peaceful and calm. We saw that the protesters were in their vehicles. They were hardly on foot. People who were mostly on foot were the journalists that were covering the event. Was there any unrest of sorts? Or did you see people who looked like they were agitators or trying to disrupt the protests? Could that have been the reason why the police did what they did? I wish they were paying. I'm sure it was because of the pain of what happened last year. Earlier, before I got there, some IS were already made. But then they foresaw that the protest was going to be hijacked. Then they had to dispatch protesters using that method. That's what I perceive. People were practically running. I was running. I had to pass through above the wire into the waterways. This path was really narrow. You can see my size on the big side. I squeezed myself.  I was gasping for breath. Interesting. Before this protest even happened, we of course had the CP when he tried to dissuade legosians from coming out to protest. But then we saw a man who was, I don't know if we have that video clip, was trying to speak on behalf of the police, trying to advocate, saying that one of the reasons why we're protesting is so that the police can get good welfare. As he was speaking about it, he was taken away by the same police. He was malhandled and thrown into the Black Maria, as we can see in that video. We've seen several other people. Pepper sprayed directly in their eyes. We saw one of our TV stations in Legos here, arise TV's correspondent, a lady also who was malhandled by the police. So it really makes us wonder if the police understand what's in the constitution as to protecting peaceful protesters as opposed to harassing them. OK, then like I told you, he wasn't the only one that was inside the Black Maria. I think we lost connection. Before I got there, arrests were already made. People were shouting and they were just passing. They didn't do anything and they were just passing. They didn't understand the reasons. But at the end of the process there were these shouting that people that were arrested at the same time last year, exactly a year ago, people that were just passivied, people going to different places of work or coming back when arrested and up until now, they are still inside the police cell. All right, let me go to Jonathan.  I'm guessing that today you're going to have a few day writing from all angles and all perspective and all the information that you're getting. I do not necessarily know if there was a protest in Cross River State for answers. But from all the information that you gathered, from the Abuja protest or the Lagos protest, a bad side view of what you gathered today, does it give you a nostalgic feeling? Or is there really hope for justice to be done for the people who were killed at that toll gate? Marianne, of course, it's a feeling of deja vu because it's happening all over again and it's even troubling and mind boggling. It's been numbing to see a privileged Nigerian who occupies the position of Minister for Information because what he wrote today, honestly, I don't think I'm in the right frame of mind to call out his name. It only helps to purify media moves. It's from Lagos to Abuja and across the country. What we basically saw the police and other law enforcement agencies do is the same thing they have been doing over the years that led to the NSAS protest. Now if you follow the Human Rights Watch and of course the reports we are getting right now is in fact from January 1 up until October 1 no fewer than 130 extra judicial killings were carried out by what we call it law enforcement agencies in Nigeria. Now some people will ask, okay, where's the statistics for this? These things are not reported in the media and what have you. But if you hear a case of one today, two tomorrow, three tomorrow, you'll never get to really know that, okay, over time these things are happening. And from across Europe there was no protest but what happened was even much more silly. We have medical interns in the teaching hospital here who are old 11 months and management called the police to chase them away. You had old women who paid 7,500 a month to sweep the roads in Calabar. They have been old for over six months. They went out to protest and policemen came there. Olden policemen fired tear gas at 60, 70, 80-year-old women. So while the NSAS memorial protest did not happen across the country people would have expected. But we still saw brutality from law enforcement agency go on. And besides, you look at the so-called judicial panels of requiring to police brutality and what have you. Across the country recommendations have been made in some. 11 states have made recommendations. Some states have even concluded sitting like Crosyfa which happened since April but the recommendations have not been made public. Apart from what the privileged Nigerian who is fortunate to occupy the office of the minister for information. Like I said, I'm not going to mention this name because I don't think it's fit to be doubtful. I'll help you, Mr Lai Muhammad. Whatever his name is, I don't care right now. He's a privileged Nigerian that I do to be occupied in that office. He abused that office today and you know apart from what he said from the preliminary report from the panel of inquiry in Lagos State no one else got to know it. So clearly it supports at times of some of us that look at the end of the day these things would just, they were just what they call it's a strategy, many strategies to ensure that it take us all around and nothing positive comes out of it. I'm going to quickly toss to Imor. Imor is a broadcast journalist with the West African Democratic Radio in the class Senegal. He's a Nigerian obviously and I know how very interested in how much spotlight you have on Nigeria today reporting on the NSAS memorial. I'm sure that you have calling to really wondering what's going on in Nigeria but we saw as at yesterday when I was on my way to work I saw the police and their vans and their amart tanks by the leci toll. And some people would say this is a show of force. Some people would say it's a form of intimidation and this could have happened in other places in the country. Do you think Imor that maybe this form of intimidation has worked over time and that's why we only saw Lagos and Abuja where people really actually summoned the courage to come out and to show their respects or pay respects to the dead and those who were beaten and bashed or even those who were still in police custody. Thanks Hanford for having me. I think this may have played a role in we not seeing the crowd that we had envisaged but be as that may be we saw people still come out to show solidarity especially for those who lost their lives last year. Well, whether my colleagues or the people here know about that, yes everybody is concerned about the answers. It was a big deal for us here last year because of the massive coverage we gave to that rally and of course we did that also today. Hearing from Abuja we were able to speak with Shawwre who was barricaded by the police and we had over 30 minutes of exchanges of word and eventually they had to turn back because of a pro-ensars group, paid-ensars group like we learned from our correspondents who came and in order to avoid trouble like what happened last year they had to turn back. For me I think the Nigerian police is not learning and they have continued to fail over time. Not learning from antecedents, not learning from what had transpired in the past 365 days, not learning from what actually the protest is meant for. A very good example is the individual that was picked up earlier ago in a spot where and there are some people who are conversing for better welfare for the police that people who want a total overhaul of the police system. I mean it's for their own benefit, not just for the people that they are meant to protect, for their own benefit but for the fact that this thing has transpired for one year now I still can't understand that these guys can come out to rally or do whatever they want to do with you giving them the support instead of the harassment that we saw today, the intimidation that we saw today. I think it's appalling, especially when you have the international communities listening, watching, getting what is going on in Nigeria. It paints a very bad image for the force and I must say that the current IG isn't really doing anything and this is even when I know people don't resign easily in Nigeria but I would say this would have been that point it was a look, I am tired, I'm not in it anymore, if this reform is not working so let it be. For me it should put in the pen and move away and let them get somebody who can make sure that the reform works. Now part of what we asked you earlier this morning was that if any of the reform, the five demands last year has been met and you said none. Yes we understand that states have been putting up panel of enquiries, some victims have been compensated but is that enough to really drive on the point of the protesters? So for me I think a whole lot seems to be done at. Well I want to say thank you, Imor Edet is a broadcast journalist with the West African Democratic Radio in Dakar, Senegal. Jonathan is of the cross river watch he is a print journalist and Destiny is in house correspondent chair plus TV Africa. Thank you gentlemen, we have a long list of people to talk with. Thank you. We'll take a quick break now and when we return more on the ancestors remembrance and weather. Justice will take its course. Stay with us.

Welcome folks, appreciate you growl and a problem with us out here. We have the Dow Industries down 21, NASDAQ up 27, S&P's up 6.5, Gold Contract up $2, trading at $14.96 an ounce, we had Silver up 23 cents, $17.81 an ounce, LightSuite Crew down 71 cents, $53 a barrel, and I heard the news when you're doing the news that oil contract is getting... Two different thrusts we'll have to get in and look like a little news driven, selling driven, but more than a dollar to the downside in that crew. And we had the gas contract down 10 cents, so we'll check that out too. Copper, copper's up a penny and a half, trading 265, you get notes and bonds. The 10 years down 5 ticks, trading 129.27, 30 year is off 17 at 159.22 and king dollar. King dollar down 68 ticks, 97.213, the euro is at 111, the yen is at 108.46 and the pound is at 130, look at that, 130 to 1 a U.S. dollar. No vote, but it looks like no hard Brexit, that's what they're saying. We'll see if that's the reality, 130 on the pound. We go over to the pound first and take a look at the pound, you're going to see it's quite a nice run. We were talking about some real numbers here. Definitely. You get about a week and a half ago, you're at 121, 122, bottom line is that this is game on to, I think this is 133 is the next swing point up here. Yeah, I heard one analyst out there saying, listen, if hard Brexit's off the table, 130 might be the floor. Yeah. Just an opinion, but it would make sense, right? In terms of a lot of the risk you saw down at 120, it was definitely the possibility that Boris was going to lead the charge and that it was all or none. And maybe that might be off the table, but there's a lot to be determined over there for sure. And if we go inside the Dow industrials folks, the Dow's at 12, having a high time holding price whatsoever, and of course that's not going to be all about Boeing this morning once again. Man, oh man. You get Boeing putting 90 negative points to United Health 18, IBM 17, putting some juice into it. Upside is that Goldman's putting 22, Apple putting 21, and 3M putting 17. If we get over and take a look at Boeing, it's pretty wild, isn't it, when you think of these last companies? I can't even, the words don't, I haven't found the words to express, you know. So, you know, what you have here folks is that they're chief technical pilot. Is that what it was? Yeah. Can you imagine, like just to be the chief technical pilot of Boeing is like pretty intense, okay? I would say you have quite a resume if that is your title. Right. Yes. And what happened folks is that, you know, he was messaging, you know, some other pilot saying, man, something's wrong with this sim. We'll have to get into the exact story. And this happened, this was two years before this incident happened. You know, so Boeing. Incidents. If we, why don't we pull up the news? Yeah. Really, I'd love to pull up the article just because I haven't read it myself yet, man. It's just, it's, it should be criminal, man. Let's see. So. Right, right. Top one, I believe. Right now? Yeah. Yeah. So, the shares tumbled Monday extending the previous session short drop after the plane maker received at least two endless downgrades on the increased risk related to the company's best selling mat. The moot follows reports that a pilot working on the 737 during its certification expressed concerns about a feature that was subsequently implicated in two fatal crashes. So. See if we can see what it says. You know, you have analysts saying we can no longer defend the shares in light of the latest discoveries. Yeah. Right. Can I say this is probably going to be. See if they link to, there we go. So Boeing pilot express worries about 737 max safety in 2016 high ranking Boeing pilot working on the 737 max three years ago during its certification. Expressments giveings about a feature implicated calling its handling performance egregious. That is very bad. According to some messages. Yeah. And they got it in writing, right? Yeah. And so you got. Yeah. The FAA finds the substance of the document concerning the agency said the FAA is also disappointed yet disappointed not a strong enough word that Boeing did not bring this document to our attention immediately upon its discovery. There's stunning turn in the saga. I don't know if it's too stunning, man. You know, it seems like it's just the expected as in as this just comes more and more and more. Yeah. It just doesn't. Trust issue. Yeah. Trust them. It was November 2016. And so Bloomberg News, I guess broke it there. Yeah. So it was the exchanges between Mark Forkner, then Boeing's chief technical pilot for the 737. Crazy. Yeah. And another 737 Patrick Gustavsson Gustavsson raised multiple concerns about the automated flight control system implicated in the crashes, including not being given data by the company's test pilots. And Forkner described his alarm at simulator test in which he encountered troubling behavior in the system. Boeing had earlier assured the aviation value of the feature known as maneuvering characteristics, augmentation system. That's the MCAS, right? People have probably heard that term more. MCAS and was benign. It didn't need to be included in the plane's flight manuals. Meanwhile, they have their chief technical pilots issuing warnings in writing. Right. Forkner told Gustavsson that MCAS was running rampant in the sim on me, referring to it.   Forkner expressed concerns that he may have unknowingly misled the FAA, so I basically lied to the regulators. He wrote, it wasn't a lie. No one told us this was the case. Yada, yada. I'm interested. It just doesn't stop. Two crashes within less than five months. Pretty intense. 346 people, man. No doubt. Yeah. Pretty intense. The, uh, let's, you know, take a look at the US dollar.  Dollar goes down with conviction. Um, you know, now the dollars at 97, 215, I suspect we're going to get into this 95. That being said, what we didn't get is, you know, the lower dollar, you know, we've, gold went sideways. So this is going to be a big week, you know? Yeah. Meaning, you know, fundamentally dollar going lower, we should be able to get some traction in the gold market. Sure. You know? Well, so we'll see where this baby is going to shake out this coming week. Uh, it looks to me that the, it's going to be correlated in that yen. When we were talking with Teddy Kegstad, you know, this yen folks, okay, if you're in the metals market, this 109 level. Okay. Is dangerous territory for, uh, for us, uh, metal bowls. Uh, this is nice. It backed off a little, you know, we don't, I don't want that going over that 109.32. You know, because it's like, I could go to the moon like pretty quickly. Sure. Uh, so we backed off it. We know we hit what 10894 last, uh, Thursday. You know, so we'll see where that shakes up. And I suspect at this particular point, that's what's basically, you know, holding the train up at this particular point. Oh, oil and gas, right? Let's see what's going on here. Sure. Yeah. A little bit of weaker price in that oil market. CLX. So, CLX, where is it? I think you had it right there, November. WTI? I did. Yes. Okay. So. 53 on the dot. Yep. And it hit 52.71. And we were above 54 earlier. Yeah. Okay. So, it's just bouncing along this bottom here. Yeah. So let me see if that's the active one, too. CL. Yeah, I think so. Yep. It is. So, we'll see. That looks like it wants to hold at this point. There's not a lot of sellers right now, uh, at this low level. iPhone number is<PHONE_NUMBER>. It was called, folks, I know what's going on in your world. World in the markets, folks. The S&P hasn't been able to hold these highs out here. We get the S&P right up nine. And that is, that is up 38. You get the Dow Industries up 11. We'll come right back. Next up on the blinds, commodity futures and forex.

Dow right now up seven Nasdaq up 39. It's a piece up nine and a half. Let's just go to Apple for a second because what's intriguing here is that, you know, Apple got a good bit out here and Nasdaq's not up that much. They sure do, man. You know, look at that. That's a new all-time high, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yep. Can we go to the description after? Yeah. Because what are they tipping at now? 1.0 what trillion? 1.08? Look at that, man. They're gonna be at 1.1 in no time, man. Yeah. When are they gonna be at 2? So let's look inside the NDX here because that is quite a move, man. It sure is. You get Ctrip putting 3% in JD 2.3. So two ADRs, maybe some trade deals going on there at the top. Yeah. Let's just try and a deal. Yeah. Fasten all 2.3. Taking away from it. Ross stores down 3.3. Alter off 1.2. Maybe some earnings over there. I heard I think we might get a quarter of the S&P this week. Really? Yeah. Biomallon down 1. We get Microsoft, I know. Can we jump to them since we're on Apple? Microsoft this week. Let's see when they pull up. Yeah. 23rd. Today, I believe the 21st. Yes. So Wednesday after market, we get Microsoft. They're right on the heels, man. 1.057. Look at that. Yeah. Wow. So we gotta go to natural gas. Everyone's still into natural gas. I don't know why, but the bottom line is that, you know, the slide continues to trade it. Lots of natural gas. Heavy business out here this morning. So we take a look at this. Okay. So I see what we have here. We so you got a high volume low 218 that wants to be tested. Okay. That was generated on the 10th, 11th of October. Yep. You know, you blow that away folks in this. Yeah, let's put it on. It's an important line. I'm just gonna jump back real quick before we do because you got October 3rd right up there against and then you go all the way back to August 23rd. It's right there. And then, you know, all of these line up pretty well. So important area, man, important area, let alone if you start to dip back down to, you know, an even number of 210 would let alone $2 on the spot. Exactly. And now we'll put it on a continuous contract because this is going to be one big mess. And I guess first I'll try a five year weekly and see if any clarity with that. Okay. So we need a monthly. I can see where we're going to go with this monthly. It's going to get about it. Just get so crazy when you put it back here. 2016. Yeah. And I think that's what's in $1.50 about $1.61. Yeah. So, you know, it's going to get interesting because once you break into two, two or two, you know, we're 20 cents above that now. That's just a lot. No, but now when you're moving 10 pennies in a day, right? No, exactly. Keep it on the horizon for context of how fast this thing can move, man, and especially moving 10 pennies in a day. But where were we just in September? We're as high as 271. And we're just in the middle of October. So you're talking about six weeks, we're down 50 cents. Another 50 cents. And we're right basically almost at that low. Oh, boy, 30 year. Yeah, because if it breaks that we want to know what's what's the next level. Yeah, it's okay. It's it's going to have trouble processing so many peaks and valleys. Look at that. Yeah. So when are we going back to $16? Yeah. So what is that? That's 176 162. So that's 1999 and 2000. 161 to see 161 game. It's a big one, right? Yeah. 161 game. Yep. Wow. That is a heads up beyond belief. Speaking of heads ups, how about we jump to this JP Morgan, man, right, this one caught my eye on the Bloomberg this morning. So if you've been following those money market accounts, we got a huge stress deal going on last month, right with the spike of their short term rates. Yes, JP Morgan warning that the US money market stress to get much worse. JP Morgan says the money market stress that sent short term borrowing rates surging last month is likely to get much worse despite the Federal Reserve's attempts to inject billions of dollars into the financial system. So the Fed back it up has offered overnight loans and started buying up to 60 billion of US Treasury bills on a month in an effort to ease the pressure on the vast repo market where banks typically lend their assets in exchange for short term financing. Secured lending rates shot up in late September. We'll get down to the chart in a moment. You can see it with analysts pointing to scarcity of inter banking reserves as well as regulations that limit the size of the bank balance sheets and their repo lending capacity as the potential culprits. JP Morgan says it's not convinced the Fed has resolved the issue in the funding markets according to a note from analysts led by Joshua Younger in New York, funding pressures resurfaced last week. Now I hadn't heard about this. It didn't get as much headlines, I feel like as this first spike, right? Funding pressures resurfaced last week, even after primary dealers, firms approved to trade directly with the Fed took all of the available overnight liquidity from the central bank and sold it as many T bills as possible. So there's the big spike towards the end of September that really got a lot of headlines. And there's the spike last week, man, you're not supposed to be sitting at 2.4 when I believe the target rate is 1.75 to 2. Right.  They go on to explain this really well, folks. So picture, this is what we can go. Let's go through it because what happened with JP Morgan is saying is that the Fed, okay, is giving this to the primary dealers. The problem is the primary dealers can't give it to the banks below them. And that's what they're saying. Hey, let's just go on. And then that's a big deal. You know what I'm saying? So the overnight liquidity provided by the Fed goes directly to primary dealers, whereas those most in need of it are the non primary dealers. The JP Morgan analyst wrote the success of the program therefore depends on how much of the liquidity is passed along. But primary dealers are deterred from doing so by rules specifying how much capital they must hold to protect against losses. Meanwhile, a preliminary analysis of balance sheets at the largest banks based on their third quarter results suggest they may have to cut back on repo activity even more at year end to avoid liquidity charges. What new permanent reserves are being delivered to the banking system should face the same frictions. I mean, it makes sense. So watch how this goes, folks. They, you know, we had the battle in the Depression, like how much money would the banks give back to their shareholders, right? Well, when you read through this, the bottom line is that now they've already given way too much money back to their shareholders. And that's what this is really about. With they don't say in there, but their reserves are tight right now versus every time that you're doing either buybacks or doing more dividends, okay?  But you know, there's there's no doubt that what's intriguing is that the Fed is actually calling this anything and everything. But what it really is that they're monetizing debt again. That's what they're doing. You know, and monetizing debt means that if they turn around the Treasury issues the bond, the Fed turns around creates the money digitally buys the bond and then keeps it on their balance sheet. And so JP Morgan analyst recommends investors use futures markets to position for the spread between the Fed funds rates and repo to widen in December as this will capture year end funding stress. I'm just talking about different ways to play that possible school watching this now, right? I mean, they want it to happen, folks, we don't but you know, we got like 60 days here, you know, to see what it's October, man, if they're talking about year end, man, we got 75 days in the even less 70 days in the big, big money. And, you know, let's go to the interest rate market, right? Because we, as soon as we come back when we look at that interest rate market, Dow, Dow is up eight, Nasdaq is up 48, S&P's up 11, we get the notes and bonds down seven for the 10 year note, 18 for the 30 a bond, Tommy and I come right by.

And let's go over and take a look at this copper market because what we have, folks, is let's see, HGZ. HGZ. So in Chile right now, you have some heavy protest and, you know, real problems. Fortunately, I think it said eight people dead already and on rest, yeah. And the Chilean miners, the copper miners are thinking going in strike also. And so, you know, if you take a look at this copper market, you know, copper looks to me like two 70s game and, you know, we'll see. Well, you just got back inside two. Yeah, you can, you can make, you can make, you can make the case actually that two 80s game. We just got back inside the 265. Bottom line is that the amount of copper they have in Chile is a huge deal. But this is serious businessman. When you're talking about a major country that, you know, 20, 30 years ago, yeah, they were the military rule forever. But this thing, you know, well, there's soldiers patrolling the streets right now in Santiago after the president in that state of emergency. And I believe they have the market chart down here. There you go. There's the open three 3% plus down on the markets as unrest continues. And we were just kind of jumping around in an article during the break in terms of some visuals. And I guess it initially started from a fair increase. We'll scroll up to get, let's see where were we, right? There was a fair increase of one penny for the trains Tommy and I were just talking that, you know, you think about a penny, but guess what? It was the thing that broke the camel's back, right? Yeah, it broke the camel's back, you know, unrest, and you have a billionaire president imposing fair increases and maybe just that, you know, type of discrepancy. And as we know, not same deal with Hong Kong, right, but Hong Kong, they pass one bill, people protest, they take the bill back. It's too late. Too late. It's too late. Because that was the straw that broke the back and now, and hopefully things get repaired just for the life factor over there, because that's pretty intense. There's no doubt. Let alone the business factor and the economic factors that go with it. Yeah. If we go over to, yeah, I want to show you something else. If you go over to Barak Gold folks, okay, this is kind of interesting that Barak is not even getting any traction out here today, but it's something you want to keep your eye on. The reason being is that Barak made a deal with Tanzania over the weekend and it's a good deal. Well, it's a good deal because they were getting nothing out of it before. So Barak has agreed to pay 300 million to Tanzania government to end the long-running dispute that it says destroyed the value of its subsidiary Arcadia. Arcacia. Arcacia mining assets. As part of the deal which was approved, which must be approved by Tanzania's Attorney General, the government will be at a 16% stake in a renamed company. Barak said Sunday in the statement the payments are to sell. So what's going to happen here is that they're going to give the Tanzania government 300 million plus they get a 16% stake in a renamed company plus they get 50%, let me find this, of the royalties. Okay. And that agreement means a ban on the export of the concentrates will be lifted that I guess was on that. Exactly. Because they would take Barak was taking in a billion dollars a year out of this mine. So now they're going to divvy it up. Okay. But the bottom line is at least they have something now. Do you know what I mean? Sure. This is one of the bigger mines. So the breakthrough ends a disagreement between Tanzania and Barak subsidiary started in 2017. Tanzania banned the export of unprocessed metals, subsequently presenting Arcacia with $190 billion tax bill, equivalent to two centuries of revenue. So Arcacia, which owned the three mines in Tanzania, was bought by Barak this year for almost two years. Barak has been leading negotiations with them over the deal first negotiated by the company's executive chairman John Thornton. Right. And see Mike Bristow can get things done. That's the bottom line. If you've, you know, I've met, I've talked with this guy so many times folks, okay. And so he grew up, not in Tanzania, he grew up in South Africa and he really is into those villages. Do you know what I mean? He was the guy with a pate, okay. When a pate come, he was the minister of the mines and he is the guy that had to break them up and say, okay, you can have this one. You can have this one.  You know what I'm saying? It's the type of person. The guy's a great guy, man. So it's interesting that, yeah, it took him, you know, it's good. Poor communities over there and they're rich in assets and hard, hard assets and minerals.  No, totally. And if you Google them, it's pretty cool. If you Google Bristow and Google Villages, you're going to see what he does is that, I think it's almost every year, he goes on a motorcycle ride from village to village with other guys, making sure that all the things that they're doing, they're coming to fruition, do you know what I mean? And so it's just like walking down the street. If that's your street, you should be walking down the street. Sure. So, the spy. So the question is, Tom, how does it look to you to shot the spy here? What do you think? People have been watching this program for a while. Your laughter, I know. Oh my God. Can we get, play the script, Al. Play the script. Okay. Glad you can laugh at it. I have to laugh at it. You have to, I guess. We're at 3,000 S&P. Well, what I would do is this. See this right here? That being said, I wouldn't shot it right now because that high spike at the open, I'd want that to at least try to get tested. With that 303 again. Because most times that's what ends up happening. The volume then to get action. Yeah. Yeah, we came down. It doesn't have a huge amount of volume there. Can we go back to top to the news? Maybe we'll find that a little sports to light things up after the S&P. So I'm sure we got plenty of New York listeners, New York, the hub of finance man in the world, right? But it's not the hub of baseball in the last decade. Pretty remarkable. It ties into wealth in here as well. So if you've been following, we're setting up poor World Series that now has Houston and Washington Nationals. Washington never going to a World Series. Houston haven't quite a run recently. Yankee's not so much, man. And when you put the numbers on, it's remarkable. So $2 billion spent in the decade. No titles, no World Series appearances even. So over the last 10 years, they've won 921 games more than they have seven times. No other team played in October more often. But by any measure, except for the one that your fans care about, winning the World Series. And they go down. They've spent $2 billion on player salaries. I mean, just staggering numbers. But guess what, man. Baseball in New York, especially. Red Sox as well. The Yankees are doing just fine in terms of profits. They employed at least eight current, likely, or possible future Hall of Famers and yet along the way they've changed their normal. They've become sort of franchisor fans of mocking and wears. So here we go. The season ending defeat to Houston in the American League championship series on Saturday means for the first time since the 1910s, they've gone a full calendar decade without even appearing in the World Series. And, you know, they talk about the 1990 Braves at a tough run where they made the World Series many times didn't win it. But what the Yankees did in the 2010s and the previous calendar decades since 1900 has the winningest team of the decade by regular season record failed to win at least one pennant. And the pennant is just getting into the World Series. And, you know, for those baseball fans, man, I didn't catch the game. I had friends watching it. It must have been an awesome one to watch just in baseball because you had New York going to the top of the night down by two. They hit a two-run homer to tie it. Then Houston goes into the bottom of the bottom of the ninth and they jack a two-run World Series. With a walk-off. Two-run homer, too. Yeah. Oh, my God. Got a lot of October baseball, no matter what, man. Stay right there, folks. Time to come right back. If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First Mortgage Program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the Tax Opportunity Zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tax Act of 2018 set up tax-free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The interest rate is $1,000 to $75,000. The interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis. According to bankrate.com, the best rate for a four-year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1%. A $50,000 investment at a normal four-year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of $1,550 per year or $6,200 over the four-year period. That same $50,000 investment in the Tiger First Mortgage Program would give you $3,500 per year or $14,000 over the four years. That would give you $3,200 or $14,000 of interest on your investment.

Welcome back folks we have the chief editor of the newsroom, The Bika Burkow blocking the vote for the prime minister's Brexit deal just now. That's right, within the minute. That was just popping up and let's just see how the pound is reacting before we get into some of the specifics. So you saw an initial thrust right there downward to about 129-6. But man, there was quick reprieve right back up to where that news broke. And what that had to do with is when we get into it is that So we had Boris Johnson trying again to put his Brexit deal up for a vote. The government will introduce the detailed legislation needed, but it put him on a potential collision course with the speaker, who we now know said no, who could decide not to allow a vote because MPs already considered the issue on Saturday. I guess the speaker having the right to say you're not allowed to vote on it twice or even I guess consider it twice. They didn't know what was gonna happen. He stopped them last time too. Well, he stopped Theresa May last time. Yeah, but only then didn't she get three votes? It was the same thing. Yeah, no, exactly. And I guess they said the fourth. But each time it said that he could have, I guess stopped it because once a vote's once. And that's the battle there is that is it different if there's somehow a small tweak or whatnot or even, but nonetheless, that news breaking. And as we go back, so the headline there, a speaker blocking the vote on the PM's Brexit deal today. And I don't know enough about where we go from there, man, but not reacting too much. And it's just the saga never ends over there, man. And if we take a look at the footsie, that's not going anywhere either. We're at 7166, up 16 points, been in this consolidation since January 2017. Yeah, that is. We're talking about you're going back even October 16, man. That's a solid three years. Yeah, right. And they've been in that for three and a half years, I think. I think it's three to three and a half years. Yeah, I think it's three and a half only because our election now in November will be three years ago, and they proceeded us by about six months or so. I something like that with their Brexit. That's right. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. Watch change since then, man. Homeboy. So let's take a look at some of the higher volume equities and see what we have going on out here. It doesn't look like we're going to have a high volume market just now. I think we're going to be in the UKX here. Oh, yeah, we are. Oh, the Lloyds. Lloyds of London. What are we going to ask the X, yes. No, let's see. We get Bank of America up 60 cents. Advanced Micro is up a buck. Apple's the big one, man, up 346. Yeah. You got Haliburton. Haliburton had their earnings. Well, let me jump into them. Yeah, look at that. That earnings wasn't great, and yet they pumped it up. So the world's biggest provider of frackings on North American sales in the most recent quarter dropped to the lowest level in more than two years. I chuckled because the stock's up a buck and traded at 18. I made a protracted slump in activity from Shale Explorers. $2.9 billion in revenue from the US and Canada, which make up the largest region, lowest since the second quarter of 2017. They also reported overall revenue that declined 10%. But guess what? That was obviously priced into the stock already. Go for it. Yep. Yeah, there's no doubt. Not a surprise, I guess, when you look at, now we're back at the FTSE here. Oh, yeah? Yes. Okay, let's see. Yeah. HAL. Yeah. That FTSE, we can't get away from Brexit, man. Oh, I go, this thing's been bouncing along the bottom of it, I'm like. Yeah. What a track that is. Let me say it was factored in. Yeah. Yeah, anyway. So July 2014, you're at $74, and this has just been bouncing along for three months. And if you go back to where it's at lowest since, I believe, like 2017. So when those numbers were there, we're up at $60 the last time that they were coming into these numbers. So it's been a slide since quite a tough year for Halliburton. Yeah, and you know, look at this, this is almost testing the lows of the depression. Yeah, 2008, what was that? That was $12. The highest volume low though is $15.52, and we got $16.97. And if you remember, when Cheney was vice president, they got the sweetest deal out there, man, they were exempt from everything. And there's your 2002 trade-in at six bucks, and they run up to over $53. They're not bad to be in the fracking business and not have to be regulated. And no bid anything, whatever. And then they also, they spun off another company, which I forgot the name of it is, and the other company did amazing too. Okay. You know, which we, you don't even see it in there. So the thing that's wild is that, you know, like when I look at oil at 53, you know, evidently it takes a lot more than 53 for these guys to make money. Well, because 53, you know, we've been there between 53 and 60 for a while now, it just seems like, you know, that's a good price. I mean, it still seems expensive. I mean, none of us want $100 oil. That's what you're, you know? I just wanted to see if they actually broke it down. They don't, they just get into energy services group. I wanted to see actually how much of them is oil versus fracking natural gas because they really went heavy on that when they became the fracking. They call it, what they call it, the Halliburton Clause or whatever, where they were just completely exempt from everything, courtesy of the VP Cheney. Yeah. Not bad. All about oil. And then of course GE, GE bought a couple big companies at the highs when oil was trading at 114. I mean, that's another problem with GE. Yes. That's their news. How about Bitcoin if we could? Only because a little bit of a pop, 300 bucks, nothing to shake your head at, back above 8,082.48. Yeah. I guess it looks like a blip on that chart, man. Right. And did you see Facebook? Facebook kind of, I mean, they're trying to scramble, they're coming out saying that they will do a stable coin now, you know, bottom line is that I don't expect that thing to fly. Period. I mean, if they could get away with it, regulation-wise, it would fly. There's no doubt about that, but you know. Yeah. Probably earlier. Yeah. There you go. There's so much. Everyone pull out. There we go. Oh, no. That's another one. This one's an interesting one, man. Look at this. Okay. So, you know, this is Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has privately recommended several prominent highs to Pete Buttigieg, President of the presidential campaign, a rare example of direct political. So that's a Democratic candidate, right? Right. A rare example of direct political involvement from one of the text most powerful execs. Yeah. You know, there was a great article, folks, about Trump versus the Democrats of how the Trump campaign right now is all over digital. Yeah. They're burying the Democrats. I saw you send me the link. I had seen it. Oh, did I? Okay. Cool. Yeah. I saw the headline as well. Some friends talking about it hadn't. Right. All right. Yeah. So, you know, guess what?  Let's go to our man, Jim and Palm Harbor. Hey, what's going on, brother? Good morning, guys. How y'all doing today? Doing good. Good morning, Jim. How about all that rain we got this morning? Did you get that rain? Oh, yeah, we got it. We got it right around five inches where I live. It was unbelievable, man. It's this law, right, man? It was. So. Doesn't need it, though. No, we didn't. Yeah, the grass is going to be growing. Totally. There's no doubt, man. There's no doubt. Yeah. So, what are we going to look at, Jim? I'd like you to look at PFPT, proof point. PF. Paul Frank, Paul, Tom. Okay, cool. CFPT. Let's see that Enterprise Software Solutions, the low for the year 75, the highs 133, trading at 120. Awesome. Quick break when we come right back. Stay right there, folks. We've got Jim from Palm, Tom from Palm Harbor. Tommy and I will be right back. We're going to be looking at proof points. $6.7 billion company. Not bad. Never heard of it.

Since 1984, Basel 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, Basel noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later Basel 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, Basel Chapman advises his subscribers of his expert market opinion each market day with his opening call newsletter.

I was down 5, Nasdaq is up 53, S&P's are up 10, we're talking about I'm in, Jim from Palm Harbor, we're talking about proof point. So do you own this right now, Jim, or are you looking to buy it? I was looking to buy it, I don't own it yet. So what we have here, it's been on a tear, there's no doubt about that. That monthly was quite a chart. Yeah, it really does. So you can see that bottom line is that it's a daily, so we came down pretty hard last week. I don't know, did they just come out with numbers? Let me see. I don't think so. Oh, no. Look at this. Yeah, they're coming out the 24th. So Thursday after market. Yeah, so I would wait until, I mean, it looks to me, when we put this on a monthly, what you're going to see is it's at once the consolidation, you know, but the bottom of that consolidation, which is sticking out like a sore thumb, is that... It's a year ago. Yeah, it's pretty intense. The top of that is 109, and the low is 75.92. Can I pull up the news? I'm just curious if there's anything in here. Do you know what happened last week at all, Jim, for this? No, I noticed that the CEO had sold twice quite a bit of shares of the last little bit when it got up around 130. Yeah, it seems that that's the topping out area.  You know, so I'd wait for the other side of that to get back down. That'd be quite a hit, if that's the case. I was just curious, because look at Thursday and Friday, man. You go from 132 to 118 in a heartbeat, and it was a slow, steady decline. Let me see if it... Yeah, I thought the bottom of the candle on the daily chart that after it had one gap up and then it had another gap up, I thought maybe that 118 area would be a good spot to try to maybe buy it. Yeah, I wouldn't do that before the earnings, man, because that downdraft that was in there in June is a big number, man. Okay. Cook and brother. Thanks for the call, Jim. Y'all have a good one. You too, man. Stay right there, folks. Fast back to coming up next. The man passes the chat on C-Rose Day right back to Seth. Thanks, Bill. Thanks, man.


Welcome to Digital Asset News. Take a top stories in cryptocurrency digital assets, and bring them out of bite-sized pieces. Today, what I really want to talk to you about, and really the only thing that is as far as major, are fees. And fees are outrageous, and I want to show you a graphic from Masari, which goes over the different fees for all the different top crypto and digital asset projects, and how that relates to what we would consider massive fees, and the network effect, and how it all kind of ties in together. So we'll take a look at what's going on in just that specific aspect, but I want to go over a couple of things, first of all. First, this week, I'll be doing a deep dive into Avalanche. I've been getting a lot of requests for that. And when I talk about on this channel, Invest in People, if you are talking about a good team, look at this team. This is amazing. And I'll be doing a deep dive for that a little bit later. Also, all these deep dives and different projects that we do, we're not going to put them on digital asset news anymore. It's going to go over to Dan Clips. And the reason is because digital asset news is just for news and a little bit of trading, just like the basics of basic stuff. But when we talk to really go deep into things like World Mobile Token and Ask, and of course, Avalanche, I really want to do that on a separate channel so people who are a little bit more advanced can find this out and go from there. And I'll let everybody know when I drop these videos and do these things. But I just want to make sure that it's separate so I don't overload people, especially for people who are new. If you're new, you're in the right place. And then also today, I'm going to talk about a little bit of trading. We're going to do Trinity Trading, which is if you're new, this is the easiest way possibly to do any type of trading. I'm not a big trader, but we're going to use a little bit of technical, a little bit of sentiment, and a little bit of fundamentals to find a top pick. And we'll be doing that live at 1230 Mountain Time, 130 Central and 230 Eastern. So that is already in the schedule. So check that out, I'll link at the very end as well. But you should get a notification if you're subscribed to Digital Asset News. All right, so let's take a look at what the heck is going on in the market. So first of all, let me back up real quick. So the spotlight itself, we've got a total market cap of 2.4 trillion, fantastic, everything's good. We had a bit of a dip yesterday and people were losing their minds, and I didn't get it. I'm just like, it's like 10%, 16%, who cares? And this is one of the greatest assets of our aspects of being just an investor. I don't really care about the dips. I just, I don't really see the little point. People get worked up and they start to talk about, well, this is why it dipped and this is what happened and I'm like, I don't care why it happened. I don't know, unless someone comes to me and says, you know what, Peter, I'm gonna say his name. A gold bug came out and said that he is Satoshi Nakamoto and there's proof, I'd probably pay attention to that. Other than that, I just don't care because I know where things are going in the future. I'm not here for a quick, 18% gain in something. I'm here for years and years and years and so whatever. Anyhow, so this is what we got as far as like Bitcoin. Bitcoin's doing good at $56,000. Ethereum is at up above $4,000. No idea why we're gonna see what's going on with that. Binance going, dogecoin, $0.49 and so on and so forth. We're using trade the chain, which will dive into the sentiment analysis. If you're a trader, you just click on this projected range and just take a look at what's potentially gonna be up in the next hour or so. So 5% with 90% accuracy. Look at these, EOS, Omisego, Horizon, YERN, Velas Vias, Aion. So take a look at that. All right, that's fantastic. Let's take a look at what's going on in today. So the fees. Before we get into this, let me just show you something. If you're wondering about fees and using Uniswap and essentialize exchange, all that good stuff. So we go to like Uniswap, you know Uniswap version three is out, hey, great. So when you click on that and try to do any kind of swapping, usually it's gonna say this, no liquidity, so sad, too bad. And then you gotta, you know, click the trade with V2. And what I'm gonna do is I'm just gonna, this is zero XMR for ETH, and I'm gonna swap anyway. And I'm gonna confirm the swap and whatever. And then what's gonna come up, I'll link this a little bit. The gas fee is $187. Let me take a screenshot of this because you can't see it right here, but I will put it in post. The gas fees are $187. So you're gonna, it's for $800, 0.2 ETH, and $187, you're gonna spend almost a thousand bucks. I mean, total. So I'm gonna reject that. That's probably a good idea. And that's what's going on with fees. And everybody's like, well, who cares? Because the theorem's gonna be fantastic. Maybe so, I don't know. But we take a look over here, and then when we take a look at the fees itself, let me blow this up so you can see exactly what I am talking about. So this website was actually shared to me from eight to eight. And if you don't follow eight to eight, this guy loves Cardano. If you couldn't tell. And he's a smart guy, or gal, I don't know who he is, or them, I have no idea. And he shared this and he talks about, hey, Cardano moved 9.7 billion in transaction volume last 24 hours. ETH moved 24 billion. Here's the fees. ETH charged at 8 million, ETH to charge 18,000. And I was like, hmm, so I took a look at this nice little website, which I will link in the description below. And we can see that Ethereum is the top one here. Here's the price, change, market cap, real volume, smart contract volume, transaction volume, 32 billion. Adjust the volume 24. Active address, and fees, $88 million in fees. So, hey, if you're collecting fees, good for you. Dogecoin 96, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin, even Bitcoin is at 5.7, and we're at massively all-time highs. And here's Cardano, 18,000. 18,000 dollars. And they had $9 billion in volume. So if you're looking at, so they had a third, but it was only 18,000 bucks. And then you can take a look at Litecoin and do all the things. And you can compare it, it should go right ahead. XRP 21,000 for 2 billion. That's kind of weird. Zcash, Verge, and then DigiBuy. Look at DigiBuy, $12 million, $5.6, wow. So that is essentially what's going on. It makes you think about fees. It makes you think real hard about fees, honestly. And really what it all comes down to, as far as like, well, how much is gonna cost us? What's gonna happen? How is it all gonna take effect? Well, first of all, some people will say, well, you can't really compare that because Cardano has no smart contracts. That's very true. And people will say, well, Cardano is just vaporware, and all these different ones are vaporware because they don't do anything. And Ethereum does. But really if you think about it, this is my thought. What does Ethereum really do as far as decentralized exchanges? I mean, yes, you can swap for another ERC-20 token. That's great, right? But I mean, what else are we really doing? Are we putting mortgages on as far as a smart contract? Can we buy and sell properties and put them on there like that? Are the smart contract functionality really gaining a foothold in real-world usage as far as like land and just like banking? Of course, you know, DeFi and things like that, sure. But we're still in its infancy, I think. And even though people will say, well, Cardano doesn't have this or DigiBy doesn't have that or whoever, whatever it is. Sure, we're all in price discovery mode and speculation. Let's just be honest. And is everything worth this type of market cap? No, I don't think so, absolutely not. But it just goes to show you that this is where we're at. So the question then becomes, what's gonna happen? Well, if you're looking for some great prospects, look no further than EIP 1559 for Ethereum, which is gonna be a green lit in July. Now, just to be clear, this was written on March 5th, so things may have changed a little bit. But just so you know, EIP 1559 will be packaged with the London fork coming in July. And this is how it works. Traditionally, a user sends a gas fee to a miner for its transaction, including the block, which we just saw, which I just got hosed 200 bucks for like an $800 transaction, 20% roughly, yeah, 25%. That gas fee will now be sent to the network itself as a sort of burn called base fee with only an optional tip paid to miners. So my question is this, if miners are making all that money, are they really gonna be like, this sounds fantastic, we'll take tips and then it'll go to the network and that'll be it. Well, let's see, I don't think they're gonna be too happy about it. Minority mining pool, flex pool launch and marketing campaign against the EIP, several monitor pools, minority pools joined followed by majority pools, Ethereum and Spark pool, over 60% of Ethereum's network hash power is now against the proposal, F2 pools largest pool in favor with some 10%. I know I read another article where Ethereum network is like, who cares? We don't really care and we're gonna move ahead and get in line or get out. So this all, July is going to be just straight fireworks because July, August is when this is gonna go into effect on top of with the Alonzo integration, you're going to have smart contracts on Cardano around the same time. So really, if you're gonna see, this is my thought, if you're gonna see any type of traction happen for Cardano, it's gonna be around that time. And if nobody moves over to Cardano when they have smart contracts, then I'm gonna pull a mic Novigratz and hang up my spurs because that will be it. I don't think you can really say too much about that, but I truly believe that it is going to happen. It's gonna happen right here with World Mobile Token and they're solving a problem for four billion people in a trillion dollar industry. World Mobile Token will be minted as a native asset on the Cardano blockchain. If you wanna watch that video, check it over on Dan Clips. There's a link in the description where it says follow Dan. There's three things. One is Twitter, any other one is Dan Clips. You can find it quite easily. So that is what's going on. And if you're not too really enthused about these fees and whatnot, you can always take a look at zero.exchange. I'll link it in the description. I'll have a link in the description right now. Zero.exchange, they use all these chains so you can find the cheapest aspect. Also, Avalanche, if you don't have any Avalanche, you can send over Tether or a little bit of that and they will give you a little bit of Avalanche to make transactions and buy more Avalanche to make it super cheap. And this is why I am doing that enormous dive into Avalanche because I think it could be pretty darn big as time goes on, but who knows? So that is it for today. There's just a couple of things more I'd like to make mention of and that is actually, no, it's not it's a day to finish it all up, excuse me. Fees and the network effect and people talk about this all day long. And even I talk about this with Voyager, how the network effect, Metcast Law, I mean, it'd be great, kumbaya, but in all honesty, you can lose a lot of market share real fast and things move so quickly in crypto and digital assets. Really what people want. And actually, I actually stole this from Kim.com because he was talking to Tone Vaze and Woo, whatever his name is, about Bitcoin versus Bitcoin Cash. And he goes, look, he goes, I had one of the largest internet websites and I can tell you what people want. They want things cheap, they want them fast, they just want better service. And he goes, if you're looking for transactions, Bitcoin ain't it and it's gonna be Bitcoin Cash and that's why he's building things on Bitcoin Cash. And then for me, I think about this. If there was another competitor which had smart contracts right now, Ethereum would be in the dust. It is what it is. And people talk about the network effect and everything else, well, here's Blockbuster and look what happened to them.  I'm returning it and I'm old enough to remember because I used to pay it to pay it. And they didn't rewind it while I'm when they had CDs, yeah, VHS even. So it would be a lot, it would be expensive.   And then on top of that, so that's just Blockbuster.   Don't have to rewind anything. And guess what? It's only $9.99. Well, I'll do that all day long. And then that happened. And of course, if you take a look at network effect, what about MySpace? What happened to MySpace? MySpace was the hugest social media platform when everything came out. And it early days, the internet. Now look what we have. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and everything else make it easier, faster, cheaper. I mean, you can't get much cheaper than Facebook where Facebook messed up is that it's super expensive in all the different data that they collect. And that's why they're losing market share. And then of course, the last one be banks. Why would you go to and use a bank when DeFi is going to take over? Why? And of course, right now Ethereum rules that roost but as we just see, faster, cheaper, easier, better. Who knows what it's gonna be? That's why I hedge my bet and I own both. Anyhow, so that's it for today. The last thing I will just say is this, is that I believe that there is going to be a bigger dip coming up. Remember that in the United States we used to pay taxes on April 15th. We got to push back a month, May 17th. Right now it is May 11th. So we got about six days or so. Expect a dip in that timeframe so you probably find some great deals. And if you're looking to do your taxes, I did a great video, well I did a pretty good video about crypto trader.tax. Users of Dan, they get 20% off, link in the description, and it shows you exactly how to do it. And again, from the time that I signed up to actually filled it out and got it to my CPA took me like 30 minutes. On top of that, if you don't want to pay tax at all think about a crypto IRA. This is I trust. I've been using those for now a year and some change. And I'm actually maxed out for this year. And if you don't like to pay taxes on your crypto why don't you just put it into a crypto or in my case a Roth IRA. I did a video, it's about 20 minutes or so long. And I explained the difference between an attritional, a SEP, a Roth IRA, how this all works. And now you can save a boatload of money. Oh, also in Q3 now you're going to be, not only will you have the assets that you put in there to be appreciate and you can take out tax free at a certain timeframe but also the rewards they give because I'm like a Cardano and like an Ethereum like a Polkadot which you can all put into your Roth IRA. The rewards are also tax free. So take a look at that and viewers of Dan they get the first month free and that is it for today. So look, if you liked that video or if you hated it you can put a thumbs up or thumbs down. I expect a lot of thumbs down especially from people who love Ethereum but it's not a knock, it just is what it is. And we'll see it all works out. Also consider subscribing and that's it for today. So thanks so much. Also don't forget that we'll be doing that trade the chain or Trinity trading in a couple of hours. So check us out, we picked one live winner. And our last winners were pretty darn good and we'll go over all the ones that we have picked over the last three months and how they've all done. Thanks so much for watching. Appreciate it. See you on the next one.
