Shane, appreciate your time. Hope you're doing well. I'm going to ask you right out of the gate just about your Andre Walker, just what you have seen from him since he's been with the squad, what he's been doing this off season, and maybe what kind of expectations do you have for him heading into 2020? Yeah, man. I think he's been making the most of the situation in terms of learning in this virtual world that we're in right now. He's asking good questions. He's aged. I think the big thing for him is once we get back, it's just taken it from what we're doing right now to the field and continuing to develop all the technique and fundamentals. But I'm excited about him. I think football is important to him. I think he's very anxious to get going and see where he falls in this thing and compete and try to earn a spot. And I'm going to ask you one more about Kamala Kureya. He said he's been working with the boxing coach to work with his footwork and his hands and his cardio and said that maybe that was an area or a point of emphasis for him, look forward on what he can do to get better. Is that something you've talked him about and what do you see room for improvement with him heading into this season? Yeah, I think we've always talked about coordinated movements. Like when you try to rush a passer, you've got to be able to have your hands, your hips, your feet all kind of in sync. And that's been an area for him that we've kind of been working on, trying to get those a little bit more in sync where everything's a little bit more natural to him in terms of brushing to give himself a chance to kind of get on edges and capture and do some of those things. But I've been pleased with him in these meetings too. I think he's taken on a little bit of a leadership role, which we need in our room. I mean, he had a great year last year, but obviously last year is over trying to build on it. And he's trying to carve out his role again, whatever that might be, whatever's asked of him. But I'm pleased with kind of his approach right now, leadership-wise, in our room. John Gwana. Hey, Shane. I know you haven't really been able to get, I guess, up close and personal much with Vic Beasley, but just maybe wondering what your thoughts have been, maybe just from watching clips and maybe getting to know him from afar, and what do you expect him to bring to the table for the table? Yeah, I'm excited about it. Obviously with his history, he's led the league in sacks. He's had success doing it. I think our goal is to get him back to that level, where he's impacting the game on third down for us, and then ultimately he's got to do some stuff on first, second down. That's the one thing we didn't really provide as much for us last year, where I think bringing in a guy like Vic, who's younger, who plays in first, second down obviously, that's a big aspect too, is kind of developing them there, learning what we do, how he's going to fit in that role. But I'm excited about him. I'm excited what he brings. I think he's much like Harold in terms of third down Russian. He's got his fastball off the edge, and then just trying to figure out ways to help ourselves defensively with him and Harold out there, and whoever else kind of emerges. That's kind of where we're at right now, but I'm excited to have him here. He's been good. He's been engaged, been really had some time, meet with him one-on-one to get to know him a little bit, and kind of go into a little bit more detail, because he's the one guy that hasn't been here. So everything's kind of new to him, the terminology. All these other guys were 300 level, 400 level, where him is kind of starting from ground zero, and it's more just equating terminology right now. You just may be a follow-up. There's been a popular clowny watch going on here for quite some time. I just wondered if you could talk a little bit about your experience with him in Houston, and if he does wind up here, how much of a good fit might that be with somebody in a system that he is familiar with here? Yeah, man. I obviously worked with JD for a few years and enjoyed working with him. I have no idea what's going to happen. I have it between Graves, between J-Rob. Obviously, they make those decisions. His name has name and came across from my desk. I'm not really... It's above my pay scale, so to speak. I coach the guys that really get here. But just in terms of familiarity, any time you've got a guy that's familiar with the system, I don't care who it is at any position, I think it kind of speeds the process up form in terms of making the transition. But right now, man, I'm focusing the guys that are here and we'll kind of see how things work out. But we're trying to figure this thing out with the guys we've got in the room right now. Luke. Hey, Shane, I wanted to ask if Mike has said that he's not entirely clear on who's going to be calling defensive plays. I was wondering if you could maybe shed some light on if you all as a staff had discussions about that. Is there any sort of general direction on that front? I mean, honestly, we don't got a call played till mid-August in the first preseason. So it hasn't been a lot of discussion about that at this point. We have been working through the playbook, working through all this stuff under Graves' leadership and working through this thing, as getting Midget brought up to speed, all the new guys. And I think that's kind of going to be one of those things that plays itself out, ultimately with Graves and what he can handle, what he needs help with. Our jobs as assistant coaches to coach our guys and then help the head coach with whatever he needs. And that's what I'm trying to do right now. That's what Hasch is trying to do. That's what Midget's trying to do. We're all trying to automatically make our position groups the best they can be. And then whatever Graves needs us to do in terms of expanding our roles to help him with what he's taking on, that's kind of where we're at right now. Paul Kaharski. Hey, Shane. What's it been like also getting to know Haslett kind of from afar? And what changes between the marriage of inside and outside, maybe with his voice now? Yeah, it's been great getting to know Hasch, much like Dean. In my experience, just working with him, soaking up everything I can from him. He's been in the league a long time. He played in the league. He's seen it all. So very similar to how it was with Dean, like nothing really surprises him. He's got different perspectives on things. And that's really been beneficial, I think to us as a defensive staff. And it's been really beneficial for me. Just in terms of how I can relate it to my guys. In terms of us working together, like, I mean, there's things, but ultimately we're two different positions. Almost to be honest, I think my group correlates more with a D line than does the inside line.  But in terms of tie to him, like, I mean, we're kind of our own position group anyway. Thank you. Corey Curtis. Coach, thanks for joining us. Wanted to get back to Vic quickly here. When you look at the player he was when he led the league in sacks and the player, he's been the last couple of seasons. What's the major difference and what bridge do you have to gap to get him back there? Yeah, I think anytime, man, when you look at the production, there's a lot of different things that kind of go into that.  Everybody doesn't get the production that they probably deserve at times. It goes both ways. But to me is consistency. Like just play in, play out, playing with great effort, playing with fundamentals, all those things we preach, all those things that are that we try to drill into our guys. The little things, man. I think it comes down. That's ultimately where the production ends up. It's just being able to do a play in and play out and go from there, focusing on those things. And then that's our job, man. We got to put them in positions and make plays and do what they do best. We're not going to ask them to do something that he doesn't do well. We're going to try to put him and all these other players in positions where they can produce and kind of use their skill sets to their advantage. Tehran? Coach Bo, I hope all is well. As far as Derek Roberson is concerned, what are some of the things, because he came on strong towards the end, what are some things that he could do to kind of get to be a regular in that rotation and be a guy you guys can depend on? Yeah, I mean, Roby's from the gate flash ability to rush the passer. I think the main thing with him right now is almost like what I just went into, but consistency and ultimately his development being a first second down player. The run game, some of that type of stuff, taking the next step there has been what's held him back a little bit in terms of that play time, but he definitely adds value in third down in passing situations. But I think the first second down stuff in terms of scheme, understanding, and the technique, when she's coming along like he really has and he's bought in and he's dialed in this off season. But that's, I mean, that's kind of one of the didn't more disappointing things about not having this off season. Like you're one to your two, like you saw with Harold, some of these other guys, like that off season is huge for development. And that's where we're going to have to strive to hopefully get caught back up. Hopefully these guys are doing what they say they're doing in terms of working out and all the drills and all that type of stuff, but that's going to be a challenge for us. And that's something that we're going to have to continue to stress probably more so even going into the season than what we normally do in terms of time allotment just because of this, not being able to do this off season. And obviously everyone would love to have the league leader in sacks, but I mean, is there something that could be said to having a rotation of guys who had the potential to, you know, get up to 10 sacks or possibly more? No doubt, man. We never want to turn ready good pass rushes. The more you give me the better off we are. I get like, it's our job. Whoever it is, the best rushers should be out on the field on third down. However, we got to figure it out and the best cover guys should be out there too. Like you got to find ways to affect the quarterback. And we're going to make that decision really based on who gives us the best chance to affect the quarterbacks. We want to be out there.  Like there's a lot of things that kind of as we get our hands on guys and get a feel for how our mission, how we best feel like we can compliment each other, what group best compliments each other. That's kind of how we evolve. That's our job as coaches is really to get these guys to figure out what works best with who we got and put them in a position to make plays. Teresa Walker. Shane, one thing that you have the benefit of is a lot of these guys are back from last year, but in with these Zoom sessions, are you able to do bonding through these periods or is it just all football technique and things like that? Yeah, as much as I want to be all football and technique, these guys, I think they like to take 15, 20 minutes of the meeting just talking. So I mean, it's all good. We do all that stuff. We try to do different things, play games, have competitions, be creative with how we're teaching, how these guys are learning. But it's funny, like whenever we get them in a group setting between position groups, whether it's DBs, ILBs or D-Line, OLBs, like usually the first 10 or 15 minutes of them just catching up and pounding one another. So, I mean, there is that point, that part of it. Obviously, it's not the same as if you're in the facility, which we're going to do some different things next week to see if we can try to get these guys a little bit more engaged together just across these meetings. But that is a challenge with it. But they're enjoying each other's company on here. It's almost no different than a meeting room. Once we kind of get into it and get going, like I'm hounding them, they're hounding me, they're joking back and forth, and then when it's time to learn, they're focused and locked in. So I think that's all kind of part of the teaching and learning environment. Terry McCormick. Shane, last year, Harold Landry went through a stretch where he had a sack of five games in a row. Down the stretch, he went the last four games and didn't have any sacks. Was that a matter of teams starting to key on him more or did he wear down a little bit? And what do you do to, I guess, span that out over more of the course of the season this year? Yeah, I think that's a good question. I think it's all those factors that you kind of mentioned, whether he was a little more noticed and obviously he played a lot of play sports, man. He did probably too much, and that's on me. But we got to find ways to get some other guys that can take some stuff off of them too. And I got to get those guys developed where we are willing and trusting them, putting them in the game, where we feel like they can make play sports. But I think it was a combination of things. I think he is still adamant about developing his body, his strength, his stamina, all of those things. But in my mind, he played too many plays. I got to do a better job of not putting so much on him in terms of play counting. Hopefully we get him at his best when we need him at his best down the stretch. We've got time for a couple more before Coach Haslett joins us. Eric? Hey, Shane, you've kind of talked a little bit about the challenges of this offseason. This would really obviously be a valuable time for getting your hands on a new player like Vic Beasley. Is it any harder to build that individual rapport with a new guy? And you kind of touched on it earlier when you asked about him. But how dialed in is he and how receptive has he been in the meetings? Yeah, I mean, I think it's an adjustment for him. Just in his shoes, like he's walking into this thing, not knowing anybody, having to learn in a unique way, really having to get to know these guys through Zoom and going through this stuff. So it is challenging for him. And I get that. I do think once we get back in the facility, it is going to be easier on him to kind of learn and get to walk through and do some of those things that we're missing out on now. But in terms of our relationship, any guy that comes in here, it doesn't just happen overnight. I would say it is unique in this situation, but we talk, we're on the phone, we communicate. We meet one-on-one, which I think has kind of further developed their relationship a little bit to this point. But obviously, I think it's going to speed up between me and him and between him and the other players. Once we get back in the facility and he can kind of get around and he gets a little bit more comfortable with everything instead of all his purchase. Jim Wyatt? Shane, I know you've touched on it here and a couple of your answers, but just the challenges that you've been faced with this off-season on trying to get guys to improve their technique, whether it's their hands or their footwork during a season, during an off-season, when you hadn't been able to be around them. Is there a way you can get some things across to them in Zoom calls and conversations to kind of make up for that? Yeah, so the beautiful thing is we can share video and we can watch and watch every little thing and probably go into more detail than we would otherwise. That's the one thing we got with all this. We got time. So it's not like we're scrambling to install 10 calls to go out and practice, and then you're kind of catching up on the back end. Like here, we're just installing to get it installed and you can be a little bit more thorough in regards to techniques or specific schemes or specific scheme calls where you're kind of hitting it front-end-wise. But I do think pointing all that stuff out on film and then being able to relate it to them in terms of drills and techniques and how can you do this on your own? I always joke with them like, don't go buy a chest shield for your wife. Just use the field goalposts. They don't need that. Just like that, finding ways to be creative, doing it. And we got pros, man. We got good guys. I think they're accountable. It's a little bit different than college. It's their livelihood. They better be accountable because nobody's waiting for them to catch back up. And I told them day one, just because we're not in the building doesn't mean this competition doesn't stop between us in the position meeting room and the active roster and obviously with the other 31 teams. We got to do to stay ahead and be ahead come whenever we start back up and training camp or whenever that might be. I understand that nobody else is waiting on. So I think they've taken that to heart. I think they are doing things to improve. Obviously it is different. And hopefully when we get back, we'll see kind of the results of that where we can pick back up on the run instead of starting from ground zero. Last one and then hopefully Coach has a little bit in the room waiting for us. John Glennon. Shane, I think you referenced it briefly before, but just wondering if you could talk a little bit about the, you know, the impact of losing a guy like a dean piece with so much experience and wisdom and also, you know, integrating in some other new assistants too, just sort of the overall turnover of the defensive staff and Dean in particular. Yeah, man. I mean, I'm happy Dean got a chance to retire and go enjoy and get away from the stress and the madness of this deal. He meant a lot to me, man. He taught me a lot about this game, about leadership. Like I've grown exponentially the past two years in my understanding and really in more than X's and O's just how to handle people, how to handle players, how to handle other coaches. So he's meant the world to me. I still turn to him. I still ask him questions. He's receptive. He calls me and texts me. So it was, it's difficult losing him, obviously, but I'm happy that he's kind of made his run and we were able to go out on a relatively high note for him. Obviously beating some teams that he had coached for. But he's going to be missed. He is. And it's going to take a collective effort to kind of replace them between Braves and the rest of our defensive staff just to replace what he brought and to continue to probably make sure we take some of the things that he instilled in us just in our mindset as we approach game planning and some of those other things. But I think the consistency in our scheme has been huge, especially with how this off season and playing it ended up playing out. Midget has been around us in Houston. He's familiar. He has a different perspective than what Kerry had, which is good. Anytime you got different perspectives, it's great. Without being said, Kerry is going to be missed to man, his energy. I don't want to lose sight of that. Like what he brought to the table was unique in its own right. But with these guys that we got now, it's been pretty seamless. It really has. And I'm encouraged by it. They're bringing difference for perspective than kind of what we've all accustomed to the past two years. And I think it's helping us grow as a defensive staff. It's helping us grow in our understanding and talking through things with our players and really where this thing is going to end up. He has and midge and book. Well, really not book. He's been here, but Eddie coming over, like I think it's been pretty seamless. And I'm excited to have all of them and work with all.


How you guys doing? This is Rich from RichTV Live. Happy New Year's to you all. Hope you're all having a great first week of 2020, first trading week of 2020. Yesterday something very interesting happened. The United States and Israeli forces are taking credit for taking out a very high level member in Iran. Some people are saying this is the beginning of World War 3. Some people are saying this is nothing more than the United States doing what the United States does.  I don't think there's a reason to panic. Like I'm not suggesting anybody should panic, like don't panic. But when the United States and Israeli forces are going into Iran, you have to assume that there's going to be some type of retaliation. Now, what will the retaliation be? I have no idea. And I don't know how that's going to affect us here in Canada or in the United States. But what I can tell you is it is affecting the stock market. It's affecting the stock market. So we were in a market meltup. Everything was going up. Everything was going as planned. All of a sudden we get the news. United States took out someone in Iran. United States took out Osama bin Laden. I mean, this is what they do, right? This is what America does. So how did that turn out when they took out Osama bin Laden? As investors, we need to figure out a way to capitalize from these types of situations. I've been buying gold and gold has been on fire. Gold has ran up from 1500 to 1550 over the last short period of time. And gold just keeps going up. Gold just keeps going up. So in my opinion, you're calling a recession? Interesting. First of all, we've been live for three minutes. We've got 23 people here and four likes. That's just, that just can't happen. I mean, it's a Friday. Hope you guys all have a great weekend. I want to wish you guys a fantastic Friday. But we've got to get our likes game out, man. We have to. We have to. Right now. Thank you guys. Look, we almost doubled. We went from four likes, five likes, one like to 10 likes. So thank you guys. That's much better. 11 likes. There you go. You know, now we playing. So right now, if you really want to take advantage of what is happening, oil and gas stocks and gold stocks, oil and gas and gold. If you don't know how to buy oil and gas and you don't know how to buy gold, holler at your boy, I can get you into our trading academy where you can actually be making money on gold going up. You could be making money on oil and gas going up. I think the prices of oil is going to go up. I think the price of oil, which was at $61 last time I looked, I believe it's going to go up. I believe it's going to go up. I was predicting a market meltup. Now we could potentially be going into some type of war. I don't know how that's going to affect the market. It does concern me because yesterday when the news came out, the US 30, which was screaming immediately turned and went the other way. So did the Nasdaq 100 was screaming and it immediately turned and went the other way. So did the S&P 500. It was screaming immediately turned around and went the other way. So I am concerned about how this is going to affect the market meltup. Now, despite that, Tesla, my number one pick for January 2020 was still up today, another 4%. So congratulations to everybody who has been profiting on Tesla calls, buying Tesla, earning on Tesla, because Tesla just hit, I think, an all-time high today. I believe they hit an all-time high today. It's pretty spectacular for Tesla. So I think the way we really benefit from what is happening is we have to apparently made a mistake in the title. Infinite Possibly says, if a crash is coming, I'm happy because I will buy everything for cheap. Buy like I've learned. Don't listen to conventional wisdom. Well, a few picks that I think we need to look at are gold and oil and gas. So I think we really need to right now look for gold and oil and gas stocks. In my opinion. I think if we start positioning ourselves in gold and oil and gas stocks, we will do extremely well. The biggest mistake that I made in 2019 is I had tunnel vision for cannabis stocks. In retrospect, looking back at 2019, that's probably the worst possible thing you could have done. I'm not doing that in 2020. To show you guys some of the stocks that are just screaming right now. Guys, look at INPX. Look at FCEL. Look at ONTX. Look at RTTR. Look at OWCP. Those are five that have just been screaming. Those are five that have just been screaming. And I think the biggest mistake that anyone could make in 2020 is going all in on cannabis stocks. I think we found that the cannabis sector is not what we thought it was. It's just not. It's not the road to riches. And if you think it is the road to riches, you could end up in 2020 feeling like what you did in 2019. Because 2019 was a nightmare for cannabis stocks. And if you think that 2020 is going to be any different, you know, one thing I'm learning about the cannabis sector is that these companies don't care about us, man. These companies don't care about us. They care about themselves. That's why you see management making $8 million. The MedMen management team pulling out $8 million, despite the fact the stock is tanking. This is what I'm talking about. I mean, this is the type of mentality that really hurt investors in 2019. Really hurt investors in 2019 is this management, these CEOs, they don't care about us. They don't care about our shareholders. They don't care about building shareholder equity. They don't care about building shareholder value. Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, he cares about building shareholder equity. He cares about building shareholder value. That's why the stock is exploded. But for the most part in the cannabis sector, these guys don't care about us. No, they don't care about us. So as investors, we need to really start controlling our money and making the best possible decisions. There are members that have made a killing on the five stocks I just told you. There are members making a killing buying calls on Tesla. There are members making a killing buying calls on Apple.  There's all these stocks. They don't have to be cannabis related. Now OWCP is cannabis related, but the rest are not. Don't get tunnel vision focused only on the cannabis stocks. It'll be the biggest mistake you've made in your lives. And when I look back at 2019, the biggest mistake I made was having tunnel vision in cannabis in the middle of a market melt-up when I could have been doubling my money on Apple, which is like the easiest play ever because everybody knows Apple's the number one stock. The largest market cap in the world and anybody who owned it last year doubled their money. Why would you want to take the risk? Why would you want to take the chance right now putting all your eggs in one basket in cannabis when gold is screaming? Oil and gas is screaming. We need to take advantage of momentum. If the US is going to war, defense stocks will be screaming. Oil and gas, gold, defense stocks. They will benefit greatly from a war. Buying gold. I've been buying gold nonstop. I'm making money every single day now buying gold. Gold is going up. It's the easiest trade in the world. You buy gold, it goes up, you make money. I've been buying Tesla. Tesla's going up. You buy Tesla, it goes up, you make money. It's easy money. Easy, easy, easy money. So, diversify, diversify, diversify, diversify. Am I worried about the war creating a recession? No, man. You're going to create no recession? Historically, wars are good for the stock market. This war is just going to fuel the market meltup. The key is we as investors need to take advantage of what will benefit the most from the market meltup. We need to take advantage of what will benefit the most from the market meltup. Oil and gas, gold, defense stocks. Historically, war is good for the stock market. Thank you guys for your 19 likes. We've got 38 people here. Let's get our likes game up. We are live on a Friday. We're interactive. Are we going to war? Are we going to war? Now, I don't physically mean we are going to go into war like you see in the movies. I mean like America is America and Israel going to war with Iran. Are they going to drop bombs on Iran? And for the record, I have lots of Persian friends here in Vancouver. I do not want war. For the record, I do not want war. I'm not involved in this conflict. I don't ever like it when anybody dies. I don't like it when anybody is invaded. I want to make that very, very clear. I don't like it. I don't know enough about why they're even doing it. I have no idea, you know, if it's to take out some bad dudes because they're worried about terrorism. I have no idea. Everybody has their own agenda. I'm not on that level. I only know what the news tells us. And I mean, who knows how far that is from the truth. So I don't know what the defense knows about why they took this guy out specifically if they took this guy out. I don't know any of that. I just know that yesterday I was trading gold and gold screams. I was trading it at around 1538 50. It screamed up to 1550. I saw the US 30, which has been screaming go down. I saw the I saw the thank you guys for your messages. I'm reading your messages. I'll try to respond to them. I saw the Nasdaq 100 go down. I saw the UK 100 go down. And I was like, oh, wow, this is affecting the market. So I already knew as soon as I saw that that the markets would be red today. Now, despite that fact, a lot of the stocks are coming back now. A lot of the stocks that were down are starting to come back. So who knows where we finish. But we will most likely finish red because we've been green for so long. The market needed a relief. It needed like a dip. Even Jim Cramer has been talking about the fact that the market needs a dip. The market is so high. Nobody knows when to buy because everything keeps going up. This is why I've been telling you guys, this is a market meltup. I believe this market meltup continues because oil and gas stocks, gold stocks, defense stocks are going to benefit greatly from a war. War is always for power and money, right? Territory, flexing muscles. I remember America went into Iraq because there was weapons of mass destruction. Did they ever find weapons of mass destruction? As far as I'm concerned, they never found any weapons of mass destruction. And they turned a country which was a thriving country, a beautiful country. They turned it into a rubble war zone.  You know what? I'm on my phone right now. I don't have another device. I'm in my car.  Sorry.  So, love to know what you guys think. Are there any stocks that you think will benefit from this?  Yeah, but I do that. Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic. So, yeah, I think that the biggest mistake that I made in 2019 was I had tunnel vision for cannabis stocks and I will not do that in 2020. And my best advice to you guys is do not have tunnel vision for cannabis stocks.  I'm already in. Yeah, I'm not suggesting you should sell for a loss.  That's just the nightmare.  And I know this myself because I own a lot of cannabis stocks and most of them are down. So, in life, if you do what you've always done, but you expect a different result, if I do what I've always done, but I expect a different result, that's the definition of being crazy. That's the definition of being crazy. To do what you've always done, insanity. Exactly. To do what you've always done and expect a different result. So if in 2019, I put all my money in cannabis and I lost all my money, then in 2020, if I do the same thing, probably going to get the same result. Just saying. So you got to change something. You got to realize where you went wrong and you need to make adjustments as an investor. Going into 2020, I said right off the start, I want to diversify. I joined the Trading Academy. I'm already trading gold. I'm already trading forex. I'm already trading the US 30 still own and hold all my cannabis stocks. But I mean no rush to buy cannabis stocks because what cannabis stock do you need to go Russian buy right now? Can somebody give me one? But I can show you a whole bunch of large big board stocks that have been climbing consistently like Apple. Like Tesla. Like INPX. Like RTTR. Like OWCP, which is a cannabis stock, by the way. So I got to give them some credit. ONTX. Yesterday PULM. There's a lot of stocks out there. And as a community, we need to work as a whole to find the winners. I don't care if they're green gold or their gold or their oil or their defense stock or if it's a tech stock. I really don't care. I just want to win. That's my modus operandi right here right now for this community is we're going to win. Now, will I always be an enthusiast for the cannabis sector? Absolutely. Will I always buy cannabis stocks? Will I always hold some cannabis stocks? 100% I will. 100% I will. Just like I'll always be interested in Bitcoin and I'll always be trading Bitcoin and I'll always be buying Bitcoin. But I'm not all in on Bitcoin. So why would I go all in on cannabis? It's a mistake. It's a big, big, big mistake. It was the biggest mistake I made in 2019. Ask yourself, did you make that mistake? Because I know some guys that got really, really deep into Zenibus. Oh, and F-C-E-L. Another one that has exploded for our community. I know some guys that were really big into Zenibus just like me and they lost a lot of money. So they were looking for a way to make their money back. They literally took the money, sold their Zenibus, took the money they made on Zenibus or lost, took whatever they had left on Zenibus and turned it around, put it into INPX and made 500%. So even if their 50 grand turned into the 5 grand and then they put 5 grand into INPX and they made 25%, they made 500%, their 5 grand would now be back to 30 grand. So you can quickly make your money back if you make some right moves. But if you keep your money in a sinking ship, it's not a good, it's not a recipe for success. It's not. The cannabis sector has shown us in 2019 that it is extremely risky. We had cantrust essentially grow illegal weed and get caught and lose their license. That wasn't good. That was actually a nightmare.  Let's be honest. This sector has a lot of dirty things going on. So then we've got insiders dumping millions of dollars worth of shares into a market that's going down. Do you think they care about us? Hell no. When I hear that MedMan management is making like 8 million dollars and yet the stock is crashing, you think I'm going to buy MedMan? Hell no. They're not doing anything to help us, the investors make money. So if you're not going to help me make money and all you care about is yourself making money, then why am I going to buy the stock? No. No. We're also in a sector where only like 10 companies are making money out of 440. That's a lot of hype, man. That's 430 hype stories and 10 real businesses. That's a problem. So as investors, we're playing with real money. The cannabis sector is not imaginary. It is real. Do I believe in it? Yes. Do I think it's going to grow? Yes. Is there going to be ups and downs? Yes. Are the ups going to be violent? Are the downs going to be violent? Yes. What I'm trying to explain to everybody that's watching, because we've been talking about cannabis stocks since 2017, we've also been talking about all stocks. I made a mistake by getting tunnel vision only on cannabis stocks and I will never do that again. I will never do that again. Yeah, I own Canopy Rivers and I believe Canopy Rivers is going to have a future, but the question is how long is it going to take for Canopy Rivers to make money? And if America isn't going to legalize yet, how is that going to affect Canopy Rivers? I say buy oil and buy gold. Hey, my pleasure. I'm glad that you did well on baby. I think we all have to diversify, myself included, and we need to take it very, very seriously and realize that the cannabis sector is new. And unless you want to take a long term approach to it, 5, 10, 20 years, we have to be very realistic with ourselves and recognize that when the entire sector, the world is blowing up in the stock market and we're having a market meltup, the short traders are getting obliterated in the market meltup. So what are they going to do? They're going to move to newer industries like 5G and like cannabis. They haven't evolved yet. They haven't developed yet like gold. So they're going to move into green gold. They're going to move into 5G because they're new industries, they're new sectors. The companies don't have strong balance sheets. They don't have strong financials. They don't got a ton of money in the bank yet. So the shorters move out of the broader markets where they're losing money into the cannabis sector, into the 5G sector, and they're shorting everything down because they're not having any, they're not having any luck trying to short companies like Facebook, Apple, Tesla. And they're not going to have any luck shorting those companies because those companies are very powerful. So is Amazon. So is Google. So if you're just not making any money shorting any of those stocks, you eventually need to make money. This is why they're feeding on the cannabis sector.   Shorters. I know you guys are watching. You love Rich TV Live. You made a killing off of Rich TV Live in 2019. Those days are over. Those days are over. A, you're never going to know what my picks are.  C, I'm not going to be only talking about cannabis stocks. Try to short Tesla. Please. Please. Tesla's at an all time high. Try to short Tesla. Could you try to short Tesla? Could you try to short Facebook? Please. Could you try to short Apple? Our community wants to get in cheap. Could you guys at least try? Could you give it an attempt? Or are you looking for the low hanging fruit in the cannabis sector? I don't think it's a bubble. I think it's a market meltup. I think that we're going to continue to see the markets go up. And I think that we will go down big at some point. I just don't think that that point is coming up for at least a year. Book publishing TSX companies. I would just Google it. I would just Google it. Because if anybody is real, they will be on Google. How much should you invest in gold? I mean, that's up to you. I can't tell you guys how much to invest.  And I think that 2000 is coming. And yesterday, I was doing my analysis and it was at 153850. And I was reading it was going to go to 1552. And then I woke up this morning and it's at 1550. And I'm just like, wow, this is crazy. Gold is nuts. Gold is nuts. So yeah, gold right now is pretty intense. Blueberry medical is up 24%. Nice work on blueberry medical. George Soros talks about a super bubble. Sheldon says Gary put 25% and gold 25% in dividend play with the rest. Is it better to invest in oil or gold? I think both of them are going to be hot right now. So you can make money on both. I think gold is going to probably run up to 2000. And I think that oil is at least 1800, I would say for gold. And I think that oil is going to run to 80. This is what a lot of people are predicting right now. One of the gold stocks that I like is Nova Gold Resources. I also like Kinross Gold and Barrick Gold. And I'm trading oil on my MetaTrader 4 through Hugo's Way. I'm trading oil and I'm trading gold and I'm making money on both. I'm trading Tesla, I'm trading Facebook, I'm trading Apple. I'm making money on all of it. And I'm going to ride this Market Meltup all the way up. I'm not buying any cannabis stocks. I already own cannabis stocks. I haven't bought a cannabis stock in a very long time. Well, that's not true. I'm buying cannabis stocks. But I'm not going to tell you guys which ones. Just some of the ones I really like, really, really low. But I don't want to encourage anyone to buy cannabis stocks because they've been a huge nightmare in 2019. And I don't want to see anybody lose money in 2020. I only want to really just focus on stocks that are winning. And I want to focus on the winners. And I feel like that's what's going to really help our community grow and flourish. And I want you guys to flourish. Yeah, I don't want to hope. As an investor, I don't want to hope. I'm done with hope, man. I want to invest in sure things. I like labs and balance. Those are two good companies. I agree with you there. Those are two good companies and they're both profitable. They've got a profitable, adjusted operating income. So they're two of the best. I agree with you there. Marty McFly came what? The one says, how are cannabis stocks going? I expect them to get pretty high. No pun intended. Yeah, I think the cannabis stocks have a chance to go very high.  The game changed. Sometime, I would say probably about August of this year, of last year, 2019. The game changed and it became a both profit. And at that point in time, nobody had profit. So thank you, Neurosis. I appreciate your brother. Happy Glass says, I have done well on Galeen Gold GG. They are small, but they are actually producing. Thank you guys. If you guys have any gold or oil picks, please share them with the community. That's what we're all about here. We're all about sharing information here at Rich TV Live. And sharing is caring, man. And as a community, if we help each other find trending picks, we can just multiply our winners and compound our winners. And the biggest mistake we made in 2019 is having this focus solely on cannabis stocks. It's not going to happen. It's not happening. Embridge is a beast with many revenue streams and dividends. Thank you for your pick, Sheldon. Embridge, eh? Yeah, that's a big name. It's a very big name. Infinite Possibility says, one pick you gave me that is fire is NWES, New Wave Esports. Yeah, I like New Wave Esports.  Ricker says, dig the new platform, Rich. Raytheon, RTN. Thank you for your pick. I'll definitely take a look at it. RTN. And I can write down some of these picks. Oil stocks should get, the one says, oil stocks should get pretty good after the Iran stuff. Valor of the dollar going to drop. Can't wait for silver prices to spike at 40 to 60 an ounce. Yeah, you know, I want to take advantage of these trends. Oil and gas, gold. Take advantage of trends up and down. If the US dollar goes down, we could be buying the GBP versus the US dollar. We could be buying the Canadian dollar versus the US dollar. We could be buying the Japan versus the US dollar. If the US dollar goes up, we could be buying the US dollar versus those other pairings on forex. This is the beauty of trading forex. I'm consistently learning and evolving as an investor, as a trader, and I believe it's going to make me better in every area of trading. And that area of trading that I'm learning about is affecting the ability for me to trade now on a day to day, because I already know before the markets open if the market's going to be red.  It was flying. The US 30 was down and I'm like, guys, the market's going to be red tomorrow. And here we are. The market's red. I predicted that in advance. Why? Because I'm in a trading academy now. I'm learning new tools, resources, strategies, mentalities, ways of thinking so that I can become a better trader and in becoming a better trader and learning a lot more and spending more time trading, like literally all day now, I'm developing a better understanding of the whole broader markets and all the financial instruments that exist in the marketplace, which allows me to take advantage of trends up and down, which means that the opportunity to make money is unlimited right now. My opportunity as an investor is unlimited because I can make money up. I can make money down. I can trade currencies. I can trade futures. I can trade options. I can trade equities. I can trade cannabis stocks, gold stocks, oil and gas stocks, tech stocks. I can trade Bitcoin. I can trade everything with the platform that I have right now. It's amazing. And the crazy part is. And the crazy part is, you know, the funny is I'm not really even trading for X. I'm trading gold. So with the academy that I'm in, I have all kinds of different options to trade. I'm trading. I'm not really feeling the forex because I don't have a feel for the market. Canadian dollar versus US dollar, there's so many variables. I can't figure it out. So I'm following the experts there. I've got a good feel about gold because gold right now just keeps going up. So I can literally just buy it and every time it goes up, I'm making money. It's the easiest way to make money right now with the platform that I'm trading with, with my trading academy. It's nuts. And now the oil is going up. I'm just going to start writing oil. And when the market was melting up up until yesterday or today, I was writing the US 30. And as soon as I heard that the US and Israel is invading Iran and taking out some big time guy, some big time bad guy, apparently, I'm like, oh, shit, the US 30 just dropped. It tanked. So world events are now affecting my investments. And that is going to affect how I educate our community and the information I'm going to give you guys and the picks I'm going to give you guys and the strategies and ideas I'm going to give you guys and how I'm thinking and how we can benefit and how we can make money. And because we are growing so globally on so many platforms every single day worldwide, I literally have people messaging me every day, giving me picks every day now. Literally every day I get messages of guys giving me picks and I have relationships with people. And I'm like, yeah, give me your picks. I'll do videos on them. I'll talk about them. Our community will get involved. This is what I envisioned. And man, it's bigger than what I ever thought. Like we are actually bigger and more powerful than I ever ever thought in a very short period of time in three years. We became like a powerful force where like I literally now know in real time, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, everything that's happening in the markets. And if I look back three years ago, I wasn't trading gold. I wasn't trading Bitcoin. I wasn't trading a lot of the things for X. I wasn't trading a lot of things that I'm trading now. So I feel more comfortable trading the US 30 and trading gold. Those are the two things that I like to trade and I'm going to start trading oil now that oil is hot and I'm just going to ride trends. I'm excited about it because literally now I can make money from my phone sitting on the beach anywhere in the world. And I can just ride trends up or down. I don't have to worry about, oh my goodness, something's going down because I can make money on the way down now. I can make money on the way up. I can make money on the way down and I can do this from anywhere in the world.  And I'll be honest with you, I've already become a better trader because of it. So for me, it was worth the investment and I've already got over 10 people now in my trading team. So I'm trading for free and very soon once I get six more people, I'll be making $600 US a month for my team building. And I'll be making money with my trading Academy and I'm going to just be using that money to just keep feeding my account every month and just keep growing my accounts. So I'm just excited. I feel blessed to be where we are. It hasn't been easy. I've worked really, really hard to get where I am. We as a community have worked really, really hard to get where we are. There's been a lot of ups and downs. 2019 was great in a lot of ways, but it sucked for the cannabis stocks. So I'm not going to lie to you guys.  No, they're not. I'm sorry. I know you might be in cannabis. You might be a cannabis enthusiast. But now is the time for us to really open up our eyes and see what the prize really is. You need to understand something. If you have 300 bucks and you are going to invest it in one cannabis stock, why not just invest that $300 and buy one share of Apple? Now you're buying one of the most powerful companies in the world. Do you not have an iPhone? Do you not have an iPad? Do you not have a Mac laptop? This is what I'm trying to say. Like companies like Netflix. Netflix is the number one stock of the decade. Why? Everybody watches Netflix. So pay attention to trends in 2020. Pay attention to trends in 2020. The trend is your friend and follow the trend. And if the trend is that the cannabis stocks are going down, don't buy them waiting for a trend reversal. Ride momentum. One thing I've learned as a trader. Yeah. And that's why Disney is one of my top picks for January 2020. But I also still like Netflix because Netflix is going after India, which I think is genius because India has Bollywood, which is actually bigger than Hollywood. Going after India is genius over a billion dollars. That's the market. That's the market. That's going to make Netflix explode. Disney is not going after India. Netflix is going after India. So I'm excited about Disney, but I'm also excited about Netflix. I think there's going to be a place for both. Disney is going to be very big for kids. I think adults and children will go towards Netflix. But I think as a community, we need to open up our eyes to what is out there. And if gold is the hot stock of the day, if oil and gas is the hot stock of the day, if it's tech, if it's cannabis, we're just going to be riding the momentum because I've learned with my trading academy, you should only do 80 percent of your trade should be momentum trades and only 20 percent of your trade should be trend reversals. If you're buying cannabis stocks right now, you're trying to buy a trend reversal because the entire sectors come down. So you're trying to buy a trend reversal. It's much harder to predict a trend reversal where all the pressures down, down, down is a lot of pressure, down, down, down, including institutions, shoulders, hedge funds, whales, pressures down because they're making money down. It's way harder to predict a trend reversal than it is to ride momentum. And this is what I've really learned from my trading academy by learning from other mentors. And my goal within the trading academy that I'm working with is to become one of the mentors so that I can be teaching and training other investors on how to buy cannabis stocks and how to buy tech stocks and how to buy gold stocks and how to buy Bitcoin because I'm trading those assets right now anyways. And they have 100,000 members in their academy worldwide in over 100 countries. So why not have them all watch your Rich TV Live? So I mean, I have goals, I have ideas and I'm excited about building that business because that's another business. And I would love for you guys to join me and build that business with me and give yourself a chance to build your own trading academy because we're all in the trading game anyways. So why not have more tools on your belt that can make you money? It's a no brainer. So yeah, I'm excited about that. And I'm just excited about taking advantage of the momentum up and down and really diversifying as investors and getting involved in the whole world of investing. There's 15,000 stocks. There's only 400 cannabis stocks. So the cannabis sector is actually a very small part of the entire world of investing. And for us to really only put all of our eggs in one basket just in cannabis when gold is flying, oil is flying, tech is flying is silly. It's silly. So it's not going to happen anymore. We're going to be focusing where the momentum is like Tesla told you guys Tesla the number one pick for January 2020. If you bought Tesla in 2020, you're up 7%. Hey, 7% in two trading days, not bad. When you're buying a big board company that's changing the world because last time I look, there's Tesla's all over the place. This is what I'm trying to say. Invest in companies that you see. Amazon. You think Amazon's not going to report huge revenues after Christmas when everybody was shopping on Amazon. This is the way we need to think as a community. RTN is defense in aerospace, guys. Guys, put RTN on your watch list. I like Kronos, but Kronos needs more revenue. Kronos has a ton of cash, but they need revenue and they need profitability. Yes, Africa is going to be reporting pretty soon. So hopefully that's going to kickstart a resurrection because we've been waiting for resurrection for quite some time now. Are there any picks that are moving right now that anybody wants to talk about? Please let me know. Virgin Galactic Space SPCE. Thank you for sharing your pick. Thank you, Sheldon. Kronos will buy all companies for pennies and become the leader. Yeah, that's a possibility when you have that much cash. Sean says, how long before Iran orders the proxies to bombard Israel with rockets? Yeah, you guys know I love EGLX, man. I love gaming. I love gaming stocks. Chris says, I hear Aurora is selling out their products partner coming soon. Yeah, Aurora is doing very well. You hope Kronos buys believe.  No. There will be no collapse. There will be no recession. There will be no market crash. There will be corrections. There will be pullbacks. But in my opinion, the market will melt up in 2020. As you've already seen, it's been melting up all of 2019. And I believe it will continue to melt up in 2020. But I do believe we will have a crash in about 2021 or 2022. You know, everybody has an opinion. But just because they have an opinion doesn't mean that they're going to be able to determine or dictate what's going to happen on a global scale. I just think that the stock market is bigger than people understand. You know, Warren Buffett believes that the S&P 500 is going to go up. Why? He believes in America. He believes that America will continue to grow. So why does the S&P 500 keep going up? Because America continues to grow. If America shrinks, the S&P 500 will go down. Well, guess what? The S&P 500 never goes down. Why? Because America continues to grow. It's very simple economics. How is America not going to continue to grow? Now we're going to start implementing cannabis. That's going to be more revenue for America, more revenue for Canada, more revenues for all these countries. These countries will continue to grow. That's why the stock market will continue to go up. That's why companies like Berkshire Hathaway are trading at $300,000 a share. Because Warren Buffett had the philosophy that if he acquires revenue-generating assets with shares, which he prints, and trust me, we're going to take our company public probably in about two years. So stay tuned. I'm going to show you guys how this works. Some of you guys will be a part of it and you're going to get shares. And he'll go and use his shares to acquire assets to put on his balance sheet that are revenue-generating assets. Brilliant. So the cash flow just keeps rolling into the company's balance sheet. The cash flow just keeps rolling into the company's balance sheet. Companies building this massive vault of cash, massive treasury of cash. Guess what? Stock skyrockets because they're making tons of money. Then what does he do? He says, you know what, guys? Historically, we've been paying a 20% dividend annually. Historically. Historically. So put your money with Berkshire Hathaway. And Berkshire Hathaway has got high net worth investors that are investing with Berkshire Hathaway getting a 20% annual dividend every single year. Well, one share costs 300 grand. What's 20% on one share? You're making $60,000 a year on your $300,000 investment. So you buy one share of Berkshire Hathaway of 300 grand and you're making $60,000 a year just to hold your shares. That's a brilliant man. So everybody wants to know why Warren Buffett is so rich. There's your answer. There's your answer. He prints money with Berkshire Hathaway. And now his one share is worth $300,000 a share. And I'm going to share with you guys another story. In the stock market, you can leverage stocks that are on a senior exchange trading at $3 or higher. So when you're Warren Buffett and you own Berkshire Hathaway and you've got millions of shares and they're worth $300,000 a share, you can walk into the bank and you can leverage your securities, which means you never actually have to ever sell your stock. You leverage your stock and borrow against it. Now, what happens is Warren Buffett walks into the bank and says, yeah, I'd like to leverage a million shares at $300,000 a share. The bank will give him 75% leverage on that money. Now, instead of selling the stock and having a tax event and having to pay capital gains, what he's doing is he's deferring his capital gains. And what he's doing is he's getting a loan against his security. He's not creating any delusion. He's not creating any selling. He's getting a loan against his security up to 75% loan to value ratio of the total amount that he wants. So let's just say he wants 300 million, which is pretty normal for Warren Buffett. Let's say he wants 300 million. He's going to need, you know, 400 million worth of stock to get $300 million worth of collateral. He's leveraging his security. Now he's got $300 million and you can go and take that 300 million and say, hey, Goldman Sachs, you guys are in a desperate situation. This is what happened in the last crisis. He went to Goldman Sachs and said, hey, guys, you guys are in a desperate situation. I'll lend you 500 million. And he did it at a massive discount to market when Goldman Sachs was already down. Since then, Goldman Sachs has gone up like hundreds of percent. So not only did he get a discount to the market price because he was giving them so much money. He's getting a massive discount to market price. He's also benefited from the upside of Goldman Sachs going up over the last 10 years. That's how the rich get richer. He's using his stock to make money.  The other advantage of doing it that way is you also don't pay tax. You do not pay tax on debt instruments. So if you go and borrow against your security, you don't pay any tax. You just pay the interest on your loan. This is why people don't understand, man. Public companies, a lot of these CEOs don't even know what they're doing or maybe they're really too smart. Like the Medman guys, the Medman guys made 8.8 million. One of the guys made 8.8 million and everybody's angry. I mean, why are you angry? I mean, he's smart. But I don't necessarily want to invest in that company right now because he obviously cares about himself. Does he care about the business? I don't know.  And this is what I'm talking about.  Now, the same thing happened with Snapchat. Snapchat did an IPO. And I like Snapchat, by the way, and I think they're going to go high. Snapchat did an IPO. The CEOs pulled out a ton of money right at the IPO and at the very highest price. And a lot of people didn't like it. They pulled out like over a billion dollars. First money in, first money out. That's the way it works. First money in, first money out. They went in, they went out, they became billionaires. The stock went all the way from like 25 bucks, went to 30 bucks IPO date. I remember like it was yesterday because I bought it. And then went all the way down to five bucks. Guess where Snapchat is now? It was at five bucks. Everybody said it was dead. Everybody said it was buried. Everybody said it was trash. Everybody said it was garbage. Where are they now? Sixteen dollars. Why? Because those same guys let it go all the way down and they probably started buying it themselves. They're billionaires. Well, let's just buy it ourselves at five bucks. Six bucks, seven bucks, eight bucks, nine bucks. Telling all their rich billionaire friends, guys, buy Snapchat. It's cheap. It's cheap. It's cheap. It's cheap. People are using it. People like it. It's the next Facebook. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. Let's go. And guess what? Snapchat went up from five bucks to six bucks to seven bucks in 2019. Eight bucks, nine bucks, 10 bucks, 11 bucks, 12 bucks, 13 bucks, 14 bucks. 15 bucks, 16 bucks. It's a game, man. It's a game. Buy low, sell high. Buy low, sell high. Watch a stock. Learn its trends. Read its news. Read its financials. Know its business. Know its management. Know everything about that stock. Date the stock. That's how you win.  I'm assuming that INPX is flying. Is INPX flying right now, guys?  The stock market began in the 1600s. It's been around that long. It's been around for 500 years almost. It's crazy. 400 years. 420 years. My phone's blowing up, so I'm assuming it's either INPX or ONTX or RTTR. Are any of them flying right now? INPX is up 43%. Amen. So I gave that pick to my members yesterday. When they were up 100%, they have gone up 240% since then. So an extra 140% after my alert. So they were up 100%. I gave the alert. They went up another 140% since that alert. Unbelievable. And this is what I'm talking about.  This is what we need to do and work as a unit to find the winners so we can all win. I don't want to just sit here and talk about cannabis stocks. It makes no sense. We need to find winners and win and make money. That will be fun. Sit here, find winners, make money. That's fun. Sit here talking about cantras, getting, losing their license, talking about Aurora going to zero, talking about all this nonsense in the cannabis sector. It's just a waste of our time. It's a waste of our time and it's a waste of our money. We need to focus our energy on finding the winners and it doesn't matter if it's cannabis or gold. I have no prejudice in 2020. I just want to win. And I want you to win. That's my only prejudice in 2020 is that I want you to win and I want to win. So guys, crazy news. Obviously the U.S. and Israel taking credit for taking out a huge member of the military in Iran and that has taken the market down despite the market meltup. The market has gone down due to the news. This is good for gold. Gold is going up. This is good for oil. Oil is going up as a community. Let's look for the oil and the gold stocks. Let's look for the trends. I gave you guys my number one pick, Tesla for 2020 January. Tesla is up 7% since my pick two days ago. So for a big board stock, that's a pretty big move. And I believe Tesla right now is at all time highs. So thank you guys for being here. Have yourselves a great weekend. Have yourselves a fabulous Friday. If you're not winning, you're not watching.

What's going on guys? It's your boy DPJ here today with another Destiny video and in today's video I'm going to be opening 15 plus Legendary Engrams in search for that loot that I don't currently have and I've been grinding for quite a while now probably about three or four weeks so if you do appreciate that if you couldn't leave a like I would appreciate the support but let's just get straight into the video. Do you guys think I'll get any exotics? I probably won't to be honest. Let's just get with the blues first.  No nothing. See I remember there used to be a rumor back in the day where if you opened a blue and got a Legendary Activate if you quickly opened a Legendary you'll get an exotic. Clearly there it didn't work I got two Herries and I've completely forgotten now what they were who cares. Let's just start over here though. Okay I got an Artefact. Not that I need any of them to be honest. I speak 1.0. Don't need them. I speak 1.1. The Million Strike 1.0. Oh yes! Yes slash 8. Tarantula.   Amazing. I love it. I love it. I love it. Can't complain about that whatsoever. Let's just go carry on. Take a look at that in a second. Oh that was amazing. I'm sorry I shattered my mic right next to my mouth so that may have deafened you. But I apologise about that. On the Marsh class item Heliopause Cloak. Dead Orbit. Not bad. Another one. Wow really? Really? Leg Armours. Give me some.  The Dragon is starting at T49. The hard light. I got a new version of the hard light. You know what I was so tempted to buy this from the vault. But I didn't. I brought the Dragon's Breath because I don't like the sound of it. Glad I got the hard light. And then we got the tail rayon. What else are we going to get?  I've got something in my Postmaster that may have come from that clip top package. Let's take a look. What did I get? What did I get? I just did blue.  Let's take a look at the loot I obtained. Let's first off start with that exotic three ten as well.  Let's equip that bad boy. Oh sick. Let's see what it looks like with that shader. Boost. And now in my banana man shader. Sick. Loving it. Loving it. Loving it. Let's take a look. 124 discipline. Reduced arc damage from minions of the darkness. Arc grenades and arc blade recharge faster. Increases the amount of hand cannon ammunition you can carry and reduces incoming arc burn damage. Oh it looks so sweet.  It really does. Oh not bad. Increased sniper rifle ammunition. I may keep this actually. I was thinking about re-rolling it with the glass needles but nope.  Happy with that. How me what did I get? I got 288 familiar stripes. Don't need that so that is just legendary mark.  Gauntlets I got. Them don't need. Give me enough. 294 hold up hold up hold up. Nope. All my gauntlets are hiding. That can't infuse them can I know. So all my gauntlets are hiding that. Not really needed. So I'll see you later. Chest armours. I got this blue which ain't needed. I got that blue which ain't needed. 284 familiar stripes. Nope thank you. That is my red armor. Want to keep that. Get rid of that as well. Get rid of all 295. Actually I've already got these inside my vault so I don't need it either. 295. I don't need it either so I don't know. Goodbye actually. That's what that looks like. No I don't like it. Don't like it.   Okay so I've got 292 blues and I also got bug ward 274. Not needed at all. And I get an artifact which is dropped at 286. Not needed either. Caves I got that which is rubbish. That which I don't need to have in my vault. Two of these bad boys I will keep one. One's got intellect strength. The other one's got intellect discipline. I will get rid of hand cannons. Pulse rifles. I'll get rid of this one here. There we go. I'll use Pulse rifles way more than I use hand cannons. Okay so heavies. I got the Delavian 10 slash four X. I'm not really needed to be honest. Don't want to either. Goodbye. I got the ruin wake which looks more of my sort of weapon. Hidden hand. What else we've got? We've got anything first of all I don't know. We don't need stability but range we do need. Definitely oh there we go. Rifle barrel. We've got hidden hand and we've got danger claws. Hey actually not too bad. I'll keep that. And then we've got a rocket launcher. Oh look at that blast radius but then they're gonna look at the velocity. But this has actually got some decent decent roll. Tracking. Tripod. I'll have another look at that another time. 294 as well. Not too bad. Snipers. Not really. Unflinching.  I've got so many snipers I don't need them. I just don't need them. I don't ever lend them. We're done again. It's not bad of a roll to be honest but to be honest I've got plenty of snipers with that roll so it's not needed either. What we've got here hidden hand and we've got increased accuracy and damage resistance but then shooting this weapon. Nope. There. I got the hard light. The motherfucking hard light at 310. Like a bus. Oh like a bus. Like a bus. Loving it. Loving it. Loving it. Can't complain about that. So I've got how many exotics did I get too? I got two exotics including the 80s slash eight tarantula which I am super happy with. What guys that is it for I think 15. About 18 engrams I open. Not bad whatsoever. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. Do drop a like and I appreciate the support. Subscribe for daily destiny and I'll catch you guys on that next one. Peace out until next time. Peace.

Our next speaker is David Dotson here to talk about alchemy scale. Awesome. Thank you, Jeff. Thanks everyone for coming. Yes, so I'm going to speak about this project that we've been running since about March or April of last year so 2022. We've had a working group comprising open ff open FV and folks from the cadera lab. It's been working on this, practically every week for the last year so the fruit of that labor is alchemy scale. So this is an open source high throughput chemical free energies and execution system for use with HPC cloud bare metal and folding up. Oh, and I should introduce myself. I'm David Dotson. I'm an independent consultants. I work with OMSF and cadera lab. So that's, this has been one of those major efforts for the last year. Thank you. So, this project was born out of a shared need by several stakeholders. So, a discovery, which, which the cadera lab is a part needed to advance the COVID moonshot infrastructure into the ASAP discovery infrastructure so ASAP discoveries is this open science drug discovery platform, particular for pandemic potential virus targets. And basically they the current infrastructure that was built from the COVID moonshot just wouldn't scale to the speed of iteration that ASAP discovery was going to be open force field we had we heard Lily alluded to this earlier that a benchmarking apparatus for protein liquid free energy calculations, both open amendment grow max was desirable basically decreasing the cycle time of iteration from a new idea for force field to testing it to new force field. So, being able to to rapidly test new ideas and then rapidly benchmark advancements. And open free energy. Would have liked to have a platform for assessing and evolving limitations of binding free energy methods, different atom mapping approaches different execution strategies basically everything within their remit system like this would be a huge game. I just want to give the context where I'll kind of scale sits. So the open the ecosystem is Richard pointed out. It gives a lot of workflow flexibility to users. So, in broad strokes what we're trying to do at all, at all times, we're doing free energy calculations is you know we're defining the sets of systems that we're interested in getting free energy differences between. So, we're doing drug discovery we're trying a lot of different ligands for given protein target we're building these are chemical networks. Then we're executing those networks we might be using a commercial solution for that you might be using something that we built internally, you know, something that may be a bunch of scripts that we threw together. And we've been using years that could be our execution engine. We also have tools for analysis taking what comes out of execution with out of the expensive part. In order to then iterate on this process do the whole thing again, again and again. So reducing that cycle time is a key. And the tooling that open it open a fee draws from so if he is a is a intended to be kind of a top level package for users, but it draws from these these other packages listed here like to be a low map photograph. These sit at the defining stage how we define the work we want to do. As far as execution engines go open a few does expose some ability to execute. I'll be talking about alchemy scale here that sits in the execute column. And then for analysis we have lots of other tools, and perhaps many of them not mentioned here, but these are the ones that are used within open a field. So, you might ask, why would we need different things in this execute column. Well, honestly, different tools are more or less appropriate depending on what kind of infrastructure you have access to. What your constraints are within your organization. Basically, there's not a one size fits all solution for execution. And we'll be talking about alchemy scale here. So, what is alchemy scale. Well, it was in the title. Longer definition is, it's a service oriented execution system for all chemical networks. These are chemical networks as defined by movie suitable utilizing multiple compute resources so HPC clusters, individual hosts pulling it on work servers is something that you can do as well to support large campaigns that require high throughput. So, if you just want to run a few edges, alchemy scale is probably not your choice. If you want to run thousands of edges and many many many networks, perhaps across multiple teams in your organization that alchemy scale is appropriate. And you can use all of these resources or different variations of resources and wants with a single instance will see how that works. You can use the same core data model, as all you need to use the goofy. It's deployable at least a single server deployment is deployable in a few steps with Docker compose us. Architecturally, it uses a Neo4j graph database that serves as a central stage form. And this uses, it also uses AWS three for the object stores to hold on to result. The fat stuff that comes back from calculations. User access is provided via the icon client. This is an HTTP client. It talks to API services that broker interactions with the state and the object stores. So it's a standard kind of web services architecture. These compute services that actually do that perform these protocols for the movie model, these can be deployed on resources also are like, so that you can see closer to the posts, and they will draw tasks from the API services, execute them and then push the results back. And we're now in production. We've been using the system now for several weeks. The first deployment of up in a scale is now in place it's actually a shared deployment my open FB open FF ASAP discovery and actually their lab by extension. And so this is delivering results for us your fun elevator, one of the highlight you went ahead and ran a mind benchmark of open FF 2.1 against 2.0 to MCL one from been into a 38. And just as a scientific side, because open FF 2.1 was just a valence reset. We weren't expecting this to really change what we get for free energy calculations against 2.0. So what we expected to see was basically the same results that gets both force fields. We've largely seen that here. If we saw something different, we'd be concerned. We do have some allies that we're now into but that's speaks to the power of this approach is that your phone was very easily able to just declare what he wanted run, submit it to the instance, and pull results back and then iterate. So I'll talk a bit about how it actually works. We already talked about some of the components but now this bit of a diagram. So, this is your user workstation, the user, you can define a chemical that works. Here's the client. So as I said, users interact with an outcome skill deployment via the clients. So this is, you can define an identical network using open FF 2.0. It's underlined. It's a 50 data model. It's underlined. That whole network that you define can be submitted to through the clients, and that network is that represented in the state store. So it's fully represented in the O4J and the graph data. So you can choose, you as a user can then create an action tasks for the transformations in the network. So you can choose, maybe you want to run a few networks to begin with, or a few transformations to begin with. Maybe you want to run them all. You can kind of do whatever you want to do. And these are then picked up via a weighted random selection by compute services that are running on remote resources. So if you have access again to HPC clusters, make multiple maybe Kubernetes cluster container, container orchestrator that's running these basically whatever your resources are, you can hook them up to your FF 2.0. When these compute services push results, or when they finish, they push the results back to the object store. So again, the FF 2.0 lives in an object store. In this case, it's three. Each one has a reference in state store, but as a user, you're living on this land. Basically all you have to do is push things, define your network, action tasks, and then pull your results as they become available. So all of that machinery down here is largely abstracted from. Oh, sorry. So, so that's the basic workflow but I wanted to point out a few things that alchemy skill allows are really enables programmatic and iteration or iterative evaluation of chemical networks. So, let's say you define an initial network. So this is something you'd like to calculate.  You can go ahead and do that. And if you, let's say this network shares a lot of chemical systems these red dots and connections with the previous one. The network takes advantage of the existing results in the database. It doesn't have to start from zero. It literally is just a delta on the existing network. And you can go further. Let's say you decided later you just want to trim your network so you remove some, some nodes and transformations you've calculated previously. It's not a database but you're just submitting a network that is a trimmed or trimmed and expanded version of a previous one. Again, it will share results for transformations that are in common. So, this capability of being able to take advantage of existing results for transformation that are already present really does enable rapid iteration and efficient compute use you don't have to start from zero every time. You can do smaller deltas and iterate or very large. And I'll tell you, it enables, it really is a multi board multi user system. So there's authentication built in this is intended to be exposed to the internet it is a web service. And so, let's say you have to network to submit it. So the network has this concept of scope, and it serves two distinct purposes I'm going to illustrate here. Let's say we submitted these networks to the scope is the organization open. It's the campaign benchmark, and it's the projects open up to zero these networks because they share certain chemical systems and certain transformations. It allows you to be able to take advantage of the same sets of results in the database they're represented as the same objects, because they sit in the same scope. By contrast, so you have shared my search results here. By contrast, this network, which does have elements in common piece over here. It sits within a different scope. Let's say submitted by someone who works for a discovery. The ASAP work in this campaign, this project. This will have its own distinct transformations despite them being identical something that exists in the database. So there's a domain boundaries is how we partition data and users in alchemist scale. So, the implications of this is that users with this access to the same scopes can directly collaborate in those scopes. The access to disjoint sense of scopes can't see or interfere each other's work. So it really does allow you to, to work together if you'd like, so you can see the same things work on the same pieces, but if you need to silo work, let's say, you know, you're a discovery company and you need to partition or put firewalls between certain teams, you don't necessarily need a different alchemist scale instance for each one you could use the same one you just have to set different scopes scope assets. So, for example, if I'm here from over there. He has access to the open B star star scope so you can get anything within the fee, create whatever you want to look in that, as long as it matches this pattern. And then let's say we also have Mike Henry who's not here and then again got to somewhere right here. They have asked, like, my Henry has asked these two here. And then he has access to just the ASAP scope. Yeah, it might collaborate over here. Mike and your phone can collaborate over here. But your phone can't see, can't even see the exact stuff, and yet they can't even see the open FV stuff. And so the same system supports both sets of users both organizations, even. Mike, who has access to both these skills. So it still allows you to very flexibly, you know, if you've got some people who are shared across organizations, they're able to to see what they get access to what they need. So release 0.1.2 is now available. Alchemist scale isn't fully open source province. It's open development here. So the version zero one X series, this is the MVP version of Alchemist scale. There are rough edges. There are performance bottlenecks. You can consider this unoptimized version, right. We were aiming for feature completeness at least for the initial MVP, but necessarily performance, and it does have insufficient documentation. But it said 012 is the current after this. And 013 release is actually based with books on some initial books and some of them fixes some critical features across groups. So our initial users of this deployment spotted lots of things that, you know, they would like changed. We're trying to rapidly respond to that, get some fixes out a new release deploy, and then they can take advantage. I just want to say where we're going. We're making effort for critical requirements and all the projects that all chemist skill either uses or touches or impacts via that working group we meet every week we operate in two week sprints through some donated effort from stakeholders involved. This whole system would not have been possible without that working group. So it's, it's been a pleasure to say absolutely critical to the process. And we're continuing to go. So many major releases will focus on in particular zero to focus on docs and initial user feedback so filling in our documentation gap. We ask real users, and then zero three beyond that will focus on new features to optimizations and then some targeted refactors things that will take some learnings and then pull the guts out of it, put it back together in different ways. I should say the fully informed service that will allow us to take advantage of access scale compute the ASAP, how chemist skill deployment will be working on that over the coming months. This will really enable us to take advantage of a massive amount of compute. I should say that the height of COVID, the COVID, or the folding at home network comprised about 1.5 x flux it was bigger than the top 10 supercomputers combined. So if someone has a great figure of it would have been I think $6.8 billion per year of AWS compute with how big of a cluster that is so if you're being able to have access to to that amount of potential compute will really accelerate MSS efforts and ASAP discoveries open science open So, I'll come as I do want to give credit on him scale was drawing from a long line of prior art. We are standing on the shoulders giants get a lot of architectural inspiration, that's fireworks QC practical and spoken about the spoke bit. We also got a lot of stated desires on the front from stakeholders, natural users via the user stories they provided. If you're interested in this system, and you've got a problem you'd like it to be able to solve. Feel free to make a user story on the issue tracker. I see all of these. I tagged them. I'm going to try to see if if our chemo skills a good fit for that problem. And if it isn't, we want to know. And to reiterate a single deployed on him a school instance is now enabling continuous and presumably it can enable quite a bit more that we haven't even thought about. And I want to put this out there if you're interested in deploying and using our scale. It's fully open source. We do well feedback on how easy it is to deploy how easy it is to use. If you want direct home with deployment use or if you'd like to evaluate it for suitability in your own environment. Let's chat. I'm here all meeting. We can assess that. And we do want our chemo scale to be a sustainable projects. We don't want to be some one off thing that improves rapidly over time. And we do believe that it's adoption drive. It can help drive sustaining moments in the system logic future. And in order to realize that future early adopters are critical. So we welcome you welcome. We've done a lot of work. These are the folks that have been involved in the working group of the last year. If I missed you, I'm so sorry. The intended course. There are many that a lot of work at this building on top of the standard for that. So grateful for this community, the free energy workshop community that we just attended the last few days. All of this is built upon it. Thank you for your questions. It's not a question, but I just want to say that this is what you're doing. This is where production is in and industrializing the infrastructure. This has the potential to see lots of benefits to the much wider business. So are you talking about encryption at rest encryption transit. So we do I mean alter. Yeah, sorry. So Julia asked about encryption. You know, so we talked about separation of data like in different users see each other's data via scopes, but is the data encrypted at rest is it encrypted in transit. Communication between say the clients and the API services is encrypted via gts so it's us. So that's in transit, we don't encrypt anything at rest so anything that's landed on the object store is not currently encrypted we could have that. It just means there's keys on the API services and that could be done if that's of interest. Is that is that something that you would find is critical. I think that would be fairly easy to add if encryption at rest is desired. Now encryption in the database itself in Neo4j can be done but it kind of starts to make it harder to use. It makes the database model more difficult. Some things could be. Yeah, we can. So we currently do approach the permissions problem via scopes mechanism so and it's the API services that that enforce it. So even if a user acts their client, it doesn't change anything. Yes, we have a running instance. Oh, sorry. The question was, have we actually deployed an alchemist scale instance. Yes, we have a running instance it's running for several weeks now. And it's in service to open ff, open FV, a set discovery, it's delivered the results that I displayed early early on. Yep. What is it cost free energy. So the question was, what is it cost to run a free energy campaign on on AWS in terms of dollars. So we're not actually with this instance we're not running any of the GPU calculations on AWS. Our server, so our all chemist scale server instance, like go back to the architecture. Everything that was in the green box. Anyway, the, the alchemist scale server is running on AWS, and we use as three, but all of the compute services are running currently on my lack, which is an HPC cluster, or Pacific research platform which is a Kubernetes cluster. So, we're currently load balancing across two very different cluster architectures to deliver free energy calculations for that deploy instance. Does that answer your question. Okay. Let's go ahead and thank our speaker David Johnson. And we're just about to be able to bring for lunch, I think, but I just wanted to take a minute to thank all the people will distribute. I wanted to take a minute now we're all together to thank MSF for putting this on and the funding and for this part of the chance I've heard an issue. So, and especially MSF at the board level was just Carmen on Intel just very recently when Mark joined so a big hand for MSF. And as you now know, there's several projects that own us up that have their own staff, but as an org it was literally only one person and only enough money to pay that one person till various. So thanks again, and we're really glad. I know MSF and all of us are really glad to help. Anything else before lunch. Okay, thank you.
