Great. Well, I'm visual asset news. My name is Rob and today we got a lot of stuff to go over. So let's just jump right in First we're going to talk about the markets what's going on and how it's correlated or uncorrelated Then we're going to talk about why people are missing out. This is a new survey that I took a look at I was just shocked that the responses that you got Also, we'll take a look at Cardinals Vazal upgrade and what it what it is how far along it is and why I think it's a It's a pretty big opportunity just for some things that's really been going along quite swimmingly And lastly, we'll do take a look at a project called cornucopia's which is built on Cardano And it's a p2e b2e and L2e, which is kind of interesting and lastly we'll do a little Q&A So first things first let's take a look what's going on into the markets today. It is the 23rd thing somewhere on there and Market's kind of boring. I must admit so our 24th. Excuse me 24th 1 p.m. Or so Mountain time and Yeah, I mean nothing really nothing a big concern or anything to go right home about Bitcoin's that bit coins up a little bit point six ethereum's up a little bit point eight But I mean just for 24 hours. That's great. That's cute. It's adorable But if you take a look the seven day, we're still down pretty pretty heavy and we're at 1.09 trillion I don't expect that to last for a while But I mean today is just one of those days where it's just kind of bumping sideways very boring. That's exactly What's going on and I really don't Related well Kind of S&P 500 up a little bit. We're up a little bit Nasdaq's up a little bit But if you take a look Again over seven days, we're not looking too hot take a look at S&P 500 over five days same thing We're not looking too hot either Nasdaq not looking too hot. I mean they're down as well So again when you take it a look at these things just remember It's all about what I call teeter totter or the portfolio balance You want to balance some type of risk? So I want to say a shout out Thanks to a sponsor of the show of the channel masterworks So when things when something is going down one of the part to go up one part goes down You want another part to go up so a crypto goes down? Hey, maybe if the housing market goes up, that'd be best So for me like I have a couple of these Fractionalized shares of artwork. I got to a Banksy and a basket No idea who a basket is well, I learned a little bit Banksy and a little bit about that one But it's just fractionalized shares of artwork and then so far since I've invested in October 2021 I'm up 40% which is pretty nice if you think about it because the performance has been pretty good year over year and this is their last returns that they've had and One thing that's interesting to me is that masterworks these fractionalized shares of art They I'll perform right now the traditional markets and they're outperforming crypto right now So they're up above Russell Nasdaq S&P 500 and they're up 15% for the year You know why because rich people are crazy. That's why this is a Banksy piece of art And it's all for 25.4 million the one that was shredded the original one that Banksy made That's all for 1.6 million it originally got and then it immediately got shredded and then some rich people go That sounds good. I'm gonna buy that because they don't really care what's going on. They're rich so just remember if you're looking into it as a way to balance a Portfolio, this is just what I do am I telling you what to do, but they are registered with the SEC because these are Securities and that just makes sense to me and you can find them right there on the website If you want to skip the line again, everything I have my in the comments or the description is affiliate links You don't have to use them But if you do you'll skip the wait list and you can check that out So that's what's going on now that I want to talk to you real quick about This survey and I think this is more relevant for people that are just getting in like If you've been here for a while Which I assume you have been because you're here right now if you just got in and run 2021 a lot of you Left and that's okay because I get it because it's very tough But I think people are missing the big point again. This isn't really talking to you but I I just want to share with you some of them some of the the mentality of The basic investors. So this was an article from coin telegraph Nearly half of us adults say their crypto punts are worse than expected And I was looking at this. I'm like, really? I mean, I think I did pretty good since 2017 just uh, you know, taking my time dollar cost averaging But I get it. So this was new data from a Pew Research Center survey Showed that 46 of adult crypto users in the us are seeing lower than expected returns And I'm like, well, I guess depends on what you got in the survey gather responses from our 6 000 randomly selected adults across the us The majority of respondents who said they had invested in crypto said that they saw lower than expected returns And only 15 of the people said they had done better than what they expected So that's really it's pretty much half and half 31 15 46 So the better than expected are about the same and 46 interesting part though is that The people that were asked Half of them were women But I mean, that's not a big deal But the thing that was interesting was that people over 50 years old represented the largest sample size So I'm like, that's kind of interesting I wouldn't think that people over 50 would be investing that heavily Into crypto. Remember, it's just a sample size of 6 000 people overall I'm guessing maybe a little bit more gen x millennials type of uh investors And then this is why us investors piled into crypto on its heyday And if that's you don't worry if you got into in 2021 Uh, I got in 2017 during at the all-time high, you know, why because numbers go up and that's really all I cared about I didn't understand uh the The underpinning of of the projects and what they could do So of course, I you know, when you get any just want to say, oh, it's going up and that's good And you don't really have too much of it as far as like an investment mentality and then when it crashes like I gotta get out of here That's just the wrong thing us investors piled in the crypto coin Coin telegraph reported that roughly 70 percent of crypto holders In the u.s. Started investing in crypto such as bitcoin in 2021 The year which saw it reaching all-time high separate poll found nearly half Of the more than 700 baby boomers and gen x From all the world already owned crypto are planning to buy so again I don't think this really relates to you the one who was watching this show I had a lot of people in the bull markets. Uh, they were really big into telling me What the next big project was going to be and then those products don't exist anymore, but uh It's just the same thing. It repeats over and over again People get in 2017 they get crushed in 2018. They leave I just didn't leave because I want to do my as much research as I could just I just figured look I'm not in the business of losing money. I'll just stick around the same thing in 2021 people like some people left And uh, they'll probably won't come back until 2025. We have a next bull run But the people that are here right now that are building and doing things and investing I think those are the ones that are really going to Really going to harvest uh, a pretty good outcome as time goes on So let me just think about that in the comment section. Let's move on to the the piece The Cardinals Vosel upgrade so This has been getting a pretty bad rap Uh, recently and even Charles Hoskinson came on and was It's like hey, why is everybody bitching so much about this? I don't understand. I mean That's what the test that to me. That's what the test that's supposed to be for right You find some errors you patch those errors and you move on. Thank god It wasn't on the main net and uh, people get uh, you know lose everything That's I guess that's what uh, that's what bridges are for But uh, if you don't know the vasal upgrade Uh, will bring increased functionality performance scalability and interoperability to cardano through new features And I'm not gonna I'm not gonna go through all these because I'm not a technical person. I don't think this is the channel for Uh, technical information. I'm not a developer if you want to find somebody who's really smart knows that go to overdo hashoshi He's got that locked down put simply Vasal is the most significant network upgrade since the deployment of staking via shelly The upgrade will implement widely anticipated features such as diffusion pipelining an upgrade to the plutus Cardano's core smart contract language and this is all I care about What's deficient diffusion pipelining? Division pipelining steps things up a gear by improving block propagation times thus enabling higher throughput or transactions per second That's what I care about. I want to see a little bit faster and as an investor That's great. Now. There's some more things in here which talks about reference inputs and inline datums and reference scripts But uh, if you want to read that have fun that almost put me to sleep I put that in the comment section and you can check it out, but it looks like it's going to be great So here's the thing This is where we're at. There's a lot of issues or some issues with the test net They had to delay it. It was supposed to happen. I believe in sort of end of june push out the july Now here we are in august. I really don't care But now here's where we're at. Cardano was halfway through the vows of upgrade and this is why Going to data provided by pool tool It says 36 of stake pool operators have updated their node diversion 1.35.3 Which was released last week. Although the picture shows 46 or whatever and actually If you go to pool tool and I did link this in the description, you can check this out See right here. It says nodes reporting version Those are all the stake pool operators that have upgraded to 1.35.3 Which is for the vasal upgrade vasal upgrade and you can see that you still got 35 just kind of sitting around waiting That's actually us. That's that's the denew stake pool We're waiting for a little more confirmation to see how this all works out But we're already already over the 51 and this is the other ones are 1.33 1.35 And and that's just the 1 percenters who I don't think really do too much, but I'm not for sure So right now we're over 51. What does that mean? I'll get into it So IOHK and put output has to onboard at least 25 crypto exchanges before the main net launch takes place in order to ensure a sufficient level of Liquidity great. Not sure how far they are on that one. Go check out charles hossinson's youtube Channel. He's always updating those types of thing. I would like to have him on the show one time That would be great. I could ask him all these questions instead of having to refer to his channel Cardano's decentralized development community also has to rally behind the vasal vasal hard fork before it gets implemented. All right Vasal up grows initially supposed to go live on june then push back The Alonso hard fork was launched last september has enabled some more contracts Ada token Has underperformed do the test net controversy shedding 18 percent Over the past week. So anyhow, there was a point in here This is the thing I didn't 75 percent of spos are required to upgrade their nodes Before the much awaited upgrade takes place And we're just waiting to see how it goes But I think we might be upgrading today Got to check with the team but if we're 51 percent, that's pretty good. The thing I wanted to Focus your attention on is this Ada tokens underperformed Eight it's shed 18 percent over the past week 18 percent and why Did it get hacked? Was there some downtime? Was there some issue while there was issues with the test net? That's a test net You think they're gonna you think it's gonna take as long For them to get to this vasal upgrade as much that it takes for a theorem you could say 3m 2.0 I'm just kidding. It's not gonna take that long But if we're down 17 percent and if you just google if you just google vasal upgrade news or updates There's some pretty negative comments out there so I can see why it's actually gone down So I mean look at this 59 cents almost 60 cents Went down to almost 40 cents around here So what do you think's gonna happen when they come out and announce? Hey vasal upgrades done And he's going good That was the whole point of testing that to figure out the screw-ups now here we are I think it's a good opportunity to Do whatever it is that you do With that information. I'm not a financial advisor. I can't tell you what to do But for me not a bad idea to for me in my portfolio To get into a little bit more Cardano that's just me and then also just as a side note I know people talk about it being a vaporware There's a link in the description I call it the cardano ghost chain and you can look at all these different slides But there's a lot of projects being built on cardano. I mean right now you got 1003 and that's just from 6th of june. I don't know what's going on right now But it's probably a little bit more which will lead me to my next point cornucopious cornucopious Is a play-to-earn game. I thought it was just a play-to-earn game, but apparently I'm incorrect and It's using the unreal engine 5. I'm not a big developer. I just know it's got some really great graphics And it looks pretty cool but there's been some questions about how long this is going to take because there has been some Lengthening of what's happening and how long it's going to be. So what I did was reach out to the guys And this is cornucopious and just so you know It's interesting because like everything's sold out. Where'd it go? All the land sold out on june 3rd And then for the launch pads a token launch Vent paid and Occam Phi they all sold out too. So Good luck with that But it looks like an interesting project and I brought in two of the founders or co-founders one is robber greg I think I said that He's uh been building businesses and developing software for 20 years various industries real estate monitoring cloud api business sort of one largest real estate in uk And then also josh stake pool operator grow your stake mission driven clean water for all chrono stake pool You can use that one or dnews, which we want to do And I brought these guys in just to talk about what's going on with cornucopia is because I mean we have been talking like a year ago To have these guys on they're like, I will get to it. We're busy Then I heard some rumblings about uh, you know them not Producing enough so I'm like, okay, this will be a good time. So anyhow listen to this interview It's a little bit on the longer side. We're looking about 20 minutes But if you are a cardano fan or maybe you want to know about a cornucopia This will be the video to listen to and after this we'll do a little q&a. So just take a listen Everybody so as promised what I want to do is I want to Talk to a couple gentlemen who could give us more insight as to what is going on with this this game cornucopia is built on the cardano Platform so josh and rob. We've already been introduced. First of all, thanks for stopping by. I appreciate it Thanks for having us. It's good to be here. Hello there This has been a long time coming. How many times have we missed have we missed opportunities to get together? Yeah, it's quite a while. I feel like we've been talking since before You know, we're definitely 2021 is when we first met. Yeah I know and and everybody on the show says the same thing. So like rob. What's what what kind of games you're looking forward to? I'm like, yeah, this this this and cornucopias. I'm like, you should talk to those guys. I'm like, I am talking to these guys So so that's what's been going on. So so gents. What we'll do is I've got four questions for you And uh, the big thing is let's just catch everybody at the speed first of all What's cornucopia is what makes it different from a random play to earn game? Second one is how is the community come along? How has it grown and talk about the team that's building this project because you don't really know where you're going until you Know where you've been especially with the team aspect and then One of the last ones I want to talk about is delivery because hear rumblings about, you know, why is this You know, what's going on behind the scenes? Why is this taking so long? And it's the same thing that I hear on on different projects. So I just I want to give people what they want. Lastly, of course When moon so Let's start with the first one and you guys can take it as any way you want to What's cornucopia's and what makes it different from any play to earn games? I don't I look it looks nice. Looks great. But what makes it different? Yeah, yeah, we'll start with uh play to earn. So we actually we're we're changing the way we're phrasing that to play and earn And we also what's different is we also have build and earn and learned and earn In the in the much further future, but play and build are lots going to be a lot available quite a bit more soon Which is which is great. So yeah, we we want to build it so that it is fun And earning happens to be a part that comes with that But you know, we we're building this so that people want to play and and what it is It's a variety of different lands cornucopia's is uh, there's going to be theme zones a variety of different theme zones That people can go in and it has a certain look and feel And you can take raw materials and you can build and participate in this in an in-game economy There's eventually going to be a city where people can do different kinds of commerce there as well And then there's also these custom domes, which are very interesting That's that sale is coming up here in a couple of days actually on friday saturday and sunday We're going to do the nft custom dome sale and what those are those are different those are for And this is very different those are for the entrepreneur The person that wants to get in and build out a pvp game for example Or they want to bring in their nft projects and showcase them and just build out custom buildings It's not just for the entrepreneur You might want to just get in there and and build uh use our building kit and build out a commercial building On a tropical island and use the tropical building kit as well And so there's a variety of building kits that we're going to provide people that own these nfts So that they can build out their own custom pvp game, or you know, whatever it is So uh have a concert a festival experience, which you've seen in that video That we showed you as well So there's a lot going on with the project and a lot that makes this different I could I could really talk about that for quite a while The final thing that i'll say though is we're Some of the few that are already Really significantly using Unreal Engine 5 because that just came available about three months ago And we're we're spearheading that with with the UE5 Technology and it allows for a lot It's the most significant release in gaming history Of of any gaming engine and we are on the forefront of that a lot of other projects Couldn't start with that because they're so far along with UE4 That it's just going to take them six months to a year to transfer all their assets over to UE5 So there's a lot that we've been able to capitalize on And in using that technology. Yeah, I don't know Rob would add anything to that or not Yeah, Rob. What do you got here? Yeah, I mean the our game itself is is a metaverse and and the metaverse Is in is in different different parts to it So we're starting off with the gaming side where where you can travel from from one zone to another zone and And interact and there's a whole economies That happen with happen within there and and zones trading with other zones and and lots of lots of mechanics to get really stuck into it And then I think it's really really exciting and we've gamified that And then later on we're also building a city and that's going to be more How people kind of expect the metaverse to to be with with people then walking around and interacting with each other But the the main focus of our game is that it's going to be A great looking metaverse built on on UE5 and it's going to be fun fun A fun game is at the heart of what we're doing along the side with the with the community Yeah, sounds good And then as you guys were talking I spliced in just a little bit of the the video So just real quick on that video that we just saw on the overlay How much of that was was actual in gameplay and how much was that was a rendering? Was that all rendering or was that it actually was no, there's actual real gameplay in there for sure and and yeah, like That is a rendering to give a cinematic effect But don't let that take away from the reality of we had to build those assets so that you could run around and do these Things right now. So for example in copic cafe Which is that's a show that rob and I do where we both communicate as CEOs to our community what we're up to Right, that's all it is. It's just kind of direct to our community We did a video last week where we showcased we had our devs on there running around in that building Showing the nfts looking around at the bubble jets and the the art that's in the building and and you know So to prove to people no, these are real assets. We're not building something just for show Yes, we want to showcase things in a very sexy and cinematic way But that's with the actual assets that have been entirely custom produced And are ready to go and there's you can run around and and do demos So we've got a lot of demo videos on our youtube channel and we've got more coming soon Great Yeah, so i'll link that youtube channel below you guys can check it out And then I guess that would live in my next perfect segue question So how's the community coming along and then talk about all the things that's that's being built in the team that's building this project Yeah, the the team we now have 25 internal staff And 15 contractors so there's over 40 people at the moment currently working on our team on on we're expanding Controlled but we built the team and we built the game Using agile so that we can we can scale up whenever we're ready. We don't want to grow too fast But we want it nice and control So we have artists we have Developers we have programmers we have back office staff as well. We have a a couple of analysts. We have storywriters We have tokenomics and economics Um now that yeah, like josh said we build every single asset and and this this takes time to do this So we build everything from the sand and the grass all the way up to the procedural clouds And everything that you see within that ue5 game We built originally some of them were built on ue4, but we knew that ue5 was coming So we we built them compatible so we could switch over so when ue5 then went live We we quickly migrated all that The artwork and and the programming that we've done to ue5. So it was it was almost seamless So so we were we were there and ready and I think one of the the first projects to actually have a work in prototype on ue5 That's pretty awesome. I guess it's just you know, right It's the right place the right time It's like josh said if you had to start with ue4 you have to backtrack everything to go to ue5 This unreal engine and it looks I gotta tell you it looks pretty darn good and then josh anything to add to that well, yeah, you'd asked about the community and the team and uh, I just want to say that our team is uh we've got Just a bunch of it's it's it's we're incredibly fortunate to have hired Really really well We have some amazing players on our team that are very passionate very motivated very incentivized to do what they do and uh, we we just have a great culture and Um, yeah, I can't say it enough like we're really thankful for the team that we have and the people that are on board It is huge for what we're doing In addition to that our community we've been very very intentional about building a community that is Uh creative that is inspired that is positive That's fun when you get into our discord for the most part Is a lot of just people in there that just love our project or having fun and it's it's great It's it's really cool to have uh the community the size that we have at this point We've actually intentionally kept it down by removing bots By by keeping and really cultivating a very organically grown community and we've done that with intention That we want to keep it positive and we want to have a very educated and well informed community on what we're building So that they can help self moderate and help when this community goes to forex When we release these games and things go public and things explode We're prepared to handle the influx of volume that comes and so there's there's a lot of strategy to what we do there but yeah That's all I wanted to add there. Yeah makes sense and then like uh, I mean you guys have already grown pretty fast I know with twitter you got like around 40 000 discord looking at five six Um Telegram or the 10 000 there and then even this video that you guys put out, uh, which was gosh This was uh yesterday. I want to say Uh the one the one that we actually showed you already had almost 5000 views just for uh for a demo of a gameplay So pretty nice Yeah, it's getting some nice traction there. I like it. Uh, we're pumped about that Yeah, we have we have a great community and and the community also help us during our test phases as well So so we we test our public alphas. Um, we're testing with the community and then we're expanding that So we we're currently working on a mobile game at the same time. So so the mobile game is in early pre alpha Um, and actually some of our community have have done a few live streams playing those games And the the feedback that we've had has been amazing Um in in terms of you know positive feedback and and what they what they think of of the game They've they've not been holding back. So so we're looking at updating quite a few elements of that But also that's helping us to build the apis for the for the Unreal Engine 5 game So the the community is instrumental to to how we're we're moving our games and and the metaverse forward We're constantly listening to to their feedback. Yeah, perfect. Well, you're building on a pretty good platform cardano So that's a pretty passionate different project right there But that I remember josh we talked about this about the mobile the mobile version I was like that's going to be huge and then you know tying that in the way So you guys have a pretty tall order and that would leave me to find next question Which is delivery. So I know there's been some rumblings here and there about when is this going to happen What is going on? It seems like it takes it It does take a long time to make make something right but talk to us about delivery and what's going on behind the scenes Yeah, that's a great question and I appreciate you asking it. So uh in terms of delivery You know We could have taken a few of our programmers and released a game two months into this If we use entirely bought assets off of the Unreal Engine shelf I mean you can use marketplaces all over the place. There's a lot of projects out there that are doing that They're just buying other assets other people's artwork and And putting that in and then getting a programmer to set up the functions and features and and you you've got a game Right, that could be done fairly quickly Um, but you we're not building for the quick win We're building to build something and do it right. There's not been any triple a game That has been successful That's used somebody else's assets. It just it doesn't happen So we're building all of our assets entirely custom and we have had people play the game So recently at the consensus conference We had our racing game up on the big screen in the cardano booth tomorrow hasson The president of iohk played the game Uh, joshua miller at iohk nft manager. I forget the exact title played the game In front of a large people in the cardano booth and now that's a small Micro version a demo version of the game But this is people are getting to use our game and uh coming up soon at the uh cnft con event We're going to have multiple different areas of the game that people are going to get to play And you know what that is really fast That is incredibly fast with entirely custom art and the quality of what we've done We've only been in business for a little bit over a year to be doing that is remarkable Now people people don't realize how long it takes to do something well and we have moved with tremendous speed Now, yeah, I sorry rob. I was gonna say I I hear about it as far as like to create a game You're talking about years It takes like a years and now you guys are actually in the forefront for that unreal engine five So that's pretty impressive. Anyhow rob. Sorry. We're gonna say Yeah, I mean we're not we're not in building a game or metaverse of this size It's not you can't just come out and just just produce a a bit of a fighting game We're not only are we building the assets what we're laying down the infrastructure as well You know, we've done now almost the years worth of analysis and design I'm planning of the the back office of how all the the metaverse joins together We've been working on the underlying story or the law for the last six months as well We've not released that we've released hints of it On on our on our wikipedia, which is what we've created a copi wiki Which is over 200 pages Describing the history of the project and one where and an overview of where it's going in in the future You know, we we've pioneered NFT staking Which is is something that we've worked with our partner drip drops and we released that last week This is something that's open to all projects on cardano So so we're not just building infrastructure for ourselves. We're building infrastructure that that we can share With other projects and we've also built our own minting technology which All projects I think a lot of projects when they first started to mint on On on any blockchain if you get this huge demand Either your website falls over or the tech underneath it really really struggles So so we've invested quite heavily in our own NFT technology And this was capable and this was seen in in the last few minutes that we did Where we sold out we're within less than than 20 seconds and that was with big demand So it's a it's a we're building lots more than the game There's a lot more that has that has to happen to put all the pieces together Yeah, it's got to be tough because there's so many unknowns I think in in in this in this new arena coming out But even even with me even with us knowing how many Potentially how many unknowns are out there? I still have to ask the question. Let's just talk about real quick timelines What how long because like when I hear about all these things that are going on the things you're trying to do Are we talking like three years four years out? To get you know, yeah, so well, that's a moving target, right? So yeah, what exactly does that mean? Is the question, you know, if you look at projects like star atlas i'm a fan of there's really cool project I think they said they're not delivering anything until or I don't know about anything But they said about eight years right for for what they're working on We're going to release in phases and get customer feed or going to get gamer community feedback So then we could test create that feedback loop and really refine improve and grow right? So we're targeting a core game loop in the beginning of 2023 That's what we're hunkering down to really focus on building right now And yeah, we we'd like to get a core game loop out now Is that the full vision of everything that's in our white paper and our wiki? No, absolutely not But that is enough for people to get started to travel in their bubble jet to the starter island To travel from the starter island to the theme zone to run around and do things within that theme zone That's that sort of thing Which is fantastic. That's a huge accomplishment the MVP You know, it's really important and and this is why cardano is brilliant because it has the test net So we'll be putting our game on the test net We'll be able to see if our economics and all our formulas are actually working because the last thing we want to do Is for players to come in and and then either the game is too tough or it pays out to too many Rewards in one direction So we'll we get the the beauty of testing on this full blown blockchain really Which is the cardano test net and then we can test that With with a small group of our community and then we can open that up and then eventually I think we'll have thousands of community members testing our game On the test net and then when we're happy and when they're happy We'll then move over to main net knowing that we've had this whole testing and release schedule like You've never seen a game done before That's crazy. Okay. We'll see how it all works out. That's a lot of that's a tall order gents We'll see how how that rolls So first of all, thanks for coming in It's been it's been some time to get you here. I'm glad you guys Thanks for being patient with us. I've wanted to be on it. It's you do you produce great content. You're doing a great job anybody that's you know Watch your show has been left off better for it. So like we yeah It we're just slammed. So thanks right now. I know it goes. But lastly, let's just put on a light note When when are we gonna see this market Rob, I'll start with you. When are we gonna turn this thing around? Well, I'm well we we have sunlight and Within our game we can we can go from from daybreak to so we we have moons in there already Might not be the type of moon you're talking about but yeah, we already have moon But this is we're now in yeah, we're in we're in a crypto bear market where Everybody's a little bit fearful The community is a lot smaller And it's perfect for us now to to to get our heads down and start building through the through this bear market And and that's our plan to test with the community I could say on test net and then in a couple of years from now when the market comes back and we go into a bull cycle You know, we're there ready with a fully tested metaverse ready to go So that's when we're that's when we think that well and expecting all the the community to grow We've seen with axi infinity. They started off with 10 000 users thing very quickly. They went to 100 000 250 000 500 So you have to be ready for that that they they went so quickly But we will have now a couple of years to test and then build that infrastructure ready for ready for that next bull market Okay, so a great answer because that's that's the what you want to see you want to see someone with its focus Seeing what you want to do cut out the noise get to the finish line. Josh. What do you got? uh, well wind moon, so I don't want to underestimate the macro economic forces of uh, international markets that have been, uh affected greatly by Monetary policies of governments around the world, right? So that's that's a big thing And and I think that we're all feeling the impact of of uh decisions made all around the world somewhat related to covet and and overall monetary policy, but um, I do So I say that I don't want to underestimate but I do feel like with cardano We have a amazing thing happening with the vozzle hard fork occurring very soon And the the large number of projects that are building on cardano that will be unfolding and becoming a lot more public in the near future And driving transactional volume and and bringing new liquidity into the space There's so much that can happen there that I feel like that we're somewhat isolated Thanks to the slow pace of cardano And it's now positioned to where there's going to be an entire new Blooming ecosystem within cardano that I think that uh, it may not experience the effects of the global macro economic forces as Profoundly as some of the other chains out there. So I'm excited about that and and and to take that even more micro With what we're doing at cornucopia I couldn't be more bullish about our project I'm I'm so excited of all the things that we have releasing soon. So gotcha gotcha well said and then I'll just add this I know that people will say, ah, you know cardano. What's going on? It takes so long It's just takes time to get things right. Look at the ecosystem in 2020 now 2021 November 2020 November 2021 now. This is just april 2022 and god knows how how fast it's actually grown So gents Again, I want to say thanks for coming on the show. We all appreciate it and that is it So thanks so much. Thanks so much for having us. Thank you. Let's jump. Good to see you and we're back Well, I want to say again. Thanks gents for coming on finally got these these guys on I think I've been talking to them for over a year or so to come back So I got to say I'm pretty happy that we're able to get that done and go from there If you want to find any more information about cornucopia, there is a link in the description And again metaverse play play to earn gaming build to earn learn to earn a type of thing And it looks cool But you gotta understand like these these types of plays are really long really long plays and this is not like Hey, I'm gonna get rich next month But it looks promising. We'll see how it goes and that will conclude today's news So look, I know that took a long time, but it was a good interview It was it was appreciate those guys come by Now that is it.  Let me tell you in the comments I was just perusing the comments great stuff So I'll go over all those things and I will jump into the q&a a lot of people I gotta tell you if there's one project That people will will be vocal about it is cardano and that is just the truth. So Let's just go


They asked me to do a historical marker, so if you go visit that graveyard, you'll see this great, big, gigantic piece of stone, and on the top of it is like a metal plate, and it explains the history of that graveyard. You'll see my name on there at the bottom, because I'm the one that wrote that.  That's what it looks like, a podium. You can just read it, and I'll tell you some more, or give you some more information about that particular graveyard. One of the people that I find the most interesting that's buried there was a guy named Lafayette Walker. During the era of San Antonio's segregated era, these grounds became designated as the burial place for persons of African descent. Many important historical figures are interned at this location, including Lafayette Walker. So now you know who Lafayette Walker is, he's buried here. A leader during Reconstruction that opposed the Negro agent. That's what Newcombe was called at the time, the Negro agent, in seeking rights for African-Americans. Names and accomplishments, Ella Austin established a home for Black orphans. Y'all saw her picture at the restaurant. Bishop Abram Grant, it's a grave right over there behind you. We'll go walk over there. Lobby for segregated schools. He's an African-American Episcopal Bishop, but he was an adherent to the Booker T. Washington School of Thought. And matter of fact, he was very close friends with Booker T. Washington, and he's buried over there. And of course, their philosophy was Blacks ought to not learn academics. Blacks ought to learn how to sew and cook and that kind of stuff. So that was the bad part about segregation. Also, Harold Tarver, the second vice president of the NAACP and principal of the Dunbar School, which is an all-Black elementary school, is also buried here and was an opponent of Bishop Grant.  And she was from San Antonio, her whole family's plot is over there. But she was the University of Houston's first Black homecoming queen. She was killed in Houston murdered, and she was a very radical person that fought for African-American rights and was killed. She had the most beautiful afro you ever want to see.  She's buried over here, first Black homecoming queen University of Houston. And then leaders of the 1904 streetcar boycott, Jesse Bumbry, O.J. Carter and William L. Haguewood, editor of the San Antonio Enquirer, indicted by the FBI. In those days, it was the Bureau of Investigation. They had been indicted him for allowing articles to be published, criticizing the treatment of Black soldiers that rebelled against white supremacy in the Houston riot, and were subsequently hanged at Fort Sam Houston. Those of you from San Antonio probably need to make note of this. This is the man, this be the man. He fought in either the 9th or 10th Black Calvary in Tennessee, comes to San Antonio, he makes a deal with Newcombe, you already saw Newcombe's grave.  But look at the difference in the material of the stone. There's just simple, cheap concrete. Whereas you've got the white cemetery is very high-gloss granite, or in some cases, high-gloss marble. But being African-American, oftentimes they couldn't afford that, especially during this time frame. And so this is the best that they could do. And this is Lafayette Walker's grave here. He was the leader. He's the one who organized all of the east side. From 1867 until the time he died in 1902. This is the grave of Ella Austin, the lady I showed you that started the first Black orphanage picture, a very famous person in San Antonio. And now it's an Ella Austin Community Center on Pine Street. It's still there. And she did a fantastic job with taking young Black children who had no mother, no father, and bringing them to an orphanage and helping them make it in life. So she was the first Black orphanage in the city of San Antonio back in 1897. She organized it, and it stayed in existence all the way up until the 1960s. So that's how long it was there. Now, she died, of course, and look how old, how long ago that was. And but her legacy lived on with that orphanage continuing in operation years after she had passed on. That's Lynn Houston, right there, right there. Right, was it paper there at the University? She wrote for the Houston Post, for the Black newspaper of Houston. Or it might have been, I'm sorry, forward times. She wrote for the Houston Forward Times, which was the Black newspaper of Houston. And very active in organizing the community, very active in organizing the Black community of Houston, and fighting for civil and human rights. And it was really a wonderful job. She was one of the people involved in the movement for change. And of course, her life was snuffed out very early.


You wish that was you huh? Apparently there are a lot of men out there that are just done with being used that all they're doing is working Chilling and maybe ignoring people. It's kind of messed up So, what do you want? Do you want a boyfriend? No, okay. Do you want to be single? No, do you want to casually date people? No, not necessarily. Do you want to get back with your ex? No Do you want to remain in the talking stage? No Here's a really good picture of me. Thank you for listening.  There's hot dudes rich dudes walk around everywhere Me and this girl was talking online and which don't trust any pictures online by the way She gets there. She's an hour and a half late She is already trashed.  It's gonna be signals time to go.  You know punched in my GPS we get there and we sit there for a second And she's like holding on to my arm and she she's falling asleep She'll fall asleep not kind of nudge a little bit. She wakes up She rubs my arm for a second and falls asleep again. She feels like three four different times and then she kissed me and Okay, she had these six teeth and nothing else on the top back there and the ones that she did have you can see a little bit of gray in between well, she kissed me and Yeah, it was I mean it wasn't pleasant at all. I was like, okay, like it's time to go.  I'm crunching on her freaking teeth So I haven't been the nicest to myself the past couple days I've been having some mean and critical thoughts about my body So I decided to put a bikini on a string bikini to be exact and like Yeah, it worked. I Feel hot. I feel sexy.   I'm talking to this new guy and He was straight up honest with me He said I've been going on these really great dates, but there's just been this one big deal breaker every time Like it's been a problem and I'm like Okay, I'll bite What is it?  How do I not sound like a f***ing hoe telling him that won't be a f***ing problem like give me a hot boyfriend check I checked he's ugly I'm so sick and tired of being a reader Because I'm never happy in the real world because I spent my entire life reading about the super cool fantasy world And no guy or any romantic partner is good enough because Men leave five ten year relationships and turn around and marry a woman The reason men will leave long-term relationships for a new woman and move on like that is because of something called the 9010 rule Basically what it means is the woman he's with might have 90% of what he's looking for and even though most people are lucky to have 90% in common with someone He becomes so resentful of the 10% that she doesn't have that when a new woman comes along and embodies that 10% He's so enthralled with the 10% that she does have that he starts to convince himself that it's 100% of what he wants So he jumps ship like that and down the line He realizes that this woman only has 10% of what he's looking for But it doesn't matter because he already left the 90% behind Did you know that in hetero relationships 80% of divorces are initiated by women And that number jumped to about 90% for college educated women We were all complicated terms. We weren't together, but you know, we were still uh doing it First off, let me inform you that my ex was back crazy When we weren't together, she would literally drive by my house to see if my car was home Yeah, it was wild So I ended up breaking up with the girl because I didn't like the way that she treated me But we agreed to keep it a friends with benefits type of thing My girl was never on the pill or anything. So that meant that we had to wear protection And since we weren't together anymore, I definitely wasn't taking the risk So I continued to wear it one day while we were in my room doing it the unthinkable happened I was ready to you know, um and pull out. She didn't let me She literally held me in with her legs And at this point it was too late to stop myself. So it happened After I did that, she let me out the time I didn't notice that anything was wrong with the protection I didn't even realize that there wasn't any of my you know in it But my ex girlfriend called me up a few months later to tell me that she was pregnant Uh with my kid and I was freaking out I was confused at how that could even be possible And that's when she told me that she cut a hole in the protection to baby trap me So I wouldn't be able to leave her. I told you she was bad Crazy after figuring out that she was gonna have my kid. I couldn't bring myself to leave Not a bad person. If it was mine, I'd want to be in its life But here's where it gets even crazier I met up with the girl for one of her doctor appointments about the baby I ran a test and this is where I found out that the baby actually wasn't mine So either while we were dating or the few weeks that we were broken up She had slept with someone else and got pregnant by someone else And I didn't love the girl anymore anyways. So I figured I dodged the bullet I left and we never talked again


The following is a presentation of TFNN. Trade what you see with Larry Pezzavento. Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 or internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER>. Now, Larry Pezzavento. Alright, looking good Billy Ray, feeling good Lewis. We'll take a look here at the German DAX like we usually do under a great deal of pressure, no surprise. Following that you can see the FTSE under a great deal of pressure, no surprise. We had a big move up in stocks yesterday, not because of the Dow Jones of course, but because of those 70 to 100 stocks in the S&P and the NASDAQ. We took the NASDAQ into new high ground by easy amount. In fact, it rallied 50 points right after the close and then dropped back down again. But it's interesting to see what will be happening here this morning. High probability of being a down day, but that's neither here nor there. Folks, we have a Tim Bost is going to be our guest today. Remember, tomorrow we've got Bill Meridian on for the whole show. So that'll be very, very interesting. But let me just walk through what we were talking about yesterday and that was that situation in the Euro. I just want to walk through just to show you what I do in the morning and why my time in the morning is really busy, the first hour or so. After that, you know, it's Sleep City. Don't sleep any other time. Anyway, you'll notice here that level here at this 111, you see the importance of that important support. And we've got down there just absolutely spot on like we were looking to see how it was going to happen. And what I'd like to show you here is what we're looking at here is the Euro. I'm going to bring up the forecast for the AI program. This is the artificial intelligence program that I've worked with. It's a neural network. As you can see, we took out those lows down there. And to me, that was a very low risk trade because there were no stops down there, folks. I mean, that's, there should have been a big volume spike, much like we had when that ECB did anything.  Now, if this is correct, and let's just follow it today just to, you know, amuse me a little bit. We should be coming down till about 10 o'clock for about an hour. Now, if we come down at 10 o'clock and you're setting in a really nice retracement level or possibly even testing the low, that's going to be a very, very low risk trading opportunity exactly at about 10.05, 10.10. So watch that. That's what I'm doing. So I'm taking this. This has done 24 hours in advance. Doesn't change. You could run it, you know, three or four times midday. It won't change that forecast at all. So the key time of the day for the Euro is 10 o'clock. What we'll do tomorrow to start to show right after the DAX and the FTSE, we'll look to see what that Euro did for the day to see if it was right or wrong. Remember, it's only right about 70% of the time, but, you know, not many baseball players hit 700%. Okay, the dollar index. David is telling us that we got up to that 97. In fact, I think I kept that dollar index up because if we break much above that 98, no, I did it with the Euro. I didn't do it with the dollar index. I wanted to share one other one with you because we had so much going on with the ECB. This was the AI forecast for the Treasury bonds. That high up there, folks, at 155.16 was a 61% retracement of that whole move. You know, we've had a little four-day rally there, and that was the high of that move. And you can see it's dropped $1,000 in a matter of about 30 minutes. And so that's a real easy, nice setup when you get those. You don't always get them, but when you do, you know, that's what you're looking for. So we'll keep a very, very close eye on that as we walk through here. Folks, the silver has made another high than yesterday by one-half of a cent. The high yesterday was 15.68 per ounce. The high today was 15.68-50 per ounce, and we backed off. You know, Chuck is saying, you're right. Chuck is saying airline pilots are right 100% of the time, except for the one time they're wrong. The secret to flying, Chuck, is to make sure you have as many good landings as you do takeoffs.  But I sleep better on an airplane than any place. In fact, Sarah has suggested that we buy an old airline seat and put it up in the den and let me sit there.  You know, I don't wake up till two or three hours later. I don't know what it is. It must be the sound of the plane or whatever it is. But it just makes me very, very sleepy. Okay, let's talk just a little bit more about these treasury bonds and treasury notes. The fact that they came off so much, and the fact that this is supposedly, now this is a news related, which I'm not very good at, but I don't follow it. I'm still not very good at it. But it's basically related supposedly to the European Central Bank not doing anything with their rates. That's the key, you know, to what we're watching here, if that is the case. So who knows? Anyway, let's pay close attention to that. That'll be how the news works. Because if we don't lower our rates, that will be a big surprise.  Not every day, but, you know, there'll be some corrections here along the way. And we'll see if how that works. But the euro is the key one to watch today, folks. Very, very interesting at 10 o'clock in the morning. That's another 38 minutes, 48 minutes from where we are right now. So that's something that we really ought to focus on closely. Oh, one very, very important one, folks. I did a special thing last night and boy, if I've lost it, I'm going to be upset. Nope. Just a minute here. Just a second. Where is it? It's the natural gas because we have, we talked about this natural gas yesterday. Oh, Larry, Larry, Larry, what did you do with it?  I'll have to do it at the break, I guess. Because the natural gas has got down to that real key level folks at 222. And we hit 22190 yesterday. The last I saw this morning, it was trading at 223. Folks, if natural gas gets below that 221 level, you don't want to be in it. I mean, it came right back down to that area that was support 222. And it hasn't moved yet, but it did go down a little bit lower. Only about a dollar. So anything below that, you have to assume that you're probably going to be wrong. So that's one that you should pay relatively close attention to. So anyway, that's what we're watching.  I got a new way of doing videos. John Jameson being here is a huge help. I know how to copy and paste now folks. Can you believe that? My next step is to learn how to open a browser. This is my schedule for today. And but he showed me how to do a couple of quick things of doing videos a different way. Actually, instead of paying for it, like I have been, there's a program called Snagit that I paid for that's like 39 bucks. That works better than the one that I'd been using by far stretch to the imagination. And so I've been using that. I'm able to send them out doing faster. So it's great. But the key in the gold yesterday was 1434. That was a double ABCD pattern. I'm going to let you put that up there to do it yourself. The pointy man says defy human nature. Do the work yourself, but we'll take a look at this. Anything above 1434 in gold, folks is not very, but right now it's looking a little weak.<PHONE_NUMBER>.

You can see we're trading this morning at 224. The yellow yesterday was one penny below 222, 121.90. And so that is a very, very important spot because if it fails, you're looking at 210 and you don't want to sit there with a $2,200 loss as the market makes a new low. So make sure you put a stop in there and you'll see here on the daily, it's going to be even as clear as clear the importance of it. But you can notice here, we took out those lows of last Thursday by just a buck. We went to 221.90, we're trading at 224. You don't want it to go below 221.90 again. That's the whole beauty if there is such a thing in charts is that it gives you a place to say, this is it, I got to play here, or I can't play at all. So that's my two cents worth. So you don't want to get anything below that level. It was a great buy at 223. And if it doesn't go below, if it goes below 221.90, wait and see the next pattern. That's really all you can do. So that's neither here nor there. Okay. I hope you can understand that in my little vernacular from old Terre Haute, Indiana.  Okay, John Jameson is here visiting with me and we were watching a documentary special last night. And I'm watching what's going on. And John is watching the art objects that are featured in the thing. He really understands art, but I just see him as pictures on the wall. It's a really, I really asked myself, my gosh, the mindsets between what he does and what I do is just, well, let's give me an example. Let's say I'm a laborer putting bricks out, you know, to build a house. And he's over at the University of Arizona Aeronautical Division getting ready to land something on Mars. So we get along okay, but boy, he's in a different stratosphere when it comes to brain. All right, let's be like working here with Basil Steve Rhodes and David White and Tom O'Brien all at the same time. So we'll take a look at it. Anyway, pay close attention that folks that 221 in there. That's it. Oh, and Russ is telling us that there's a 1030 a.m. and be in about an hour or so inventory report on natural gas. So that'll either be a good or bad. So you just don't want to mess with I don't really follow reports very much Russ. So I hope that is some type of an indication of what we're looking at. I wanted to bring this silver chart up one more time. Someone's asked a question about it because the action that we've had in silver this week is very, very strange. Remember last week's high in silver was 1665 and a half. Then we had a higher high at 1667 and then we had a higher high at 1668. And then we had a higher high today at 1668. 50 in the market immediately dropped 20 cents. So that's the main thing that we're watching here is the fact that that would be something that you might want to keep an eye on for a possible really, really strong spot of watching, you know, whether silver is going to be backing down. Because that number that we hit in gold last night at 1434 was just absolutely spot on. As a matter of fact, we should bring this up just to give you a little bit of a chance here and to show you what we're looking at. Let me get the gold chart and we'll be able to bring it up without too much trouble. I don't believe I think we can. Yep. Hold on just a second here. Oh, there we are. Oh, no, that's not the one I want. Hold on. Yeah, there it is. We'll be okay. Just give me a second here. And we should be just fine. Oh, no, no, no. Where is it Larry? No, come on, please. There we go. Hold on a second. You'll be able to see it very easily. Hold on. I've got to draw it. Just give me a second. I'm not going to panic. All right, let's get it up here. All right. There's the first we did this on the air yesterday for heaven's sakes. Let's do it again. Anyway, well, it's not working, so we'll just definitely have to take a look at it. You're going to have to give me a second or two right now because Simon Lee is asking me a question and I have to be able to take care of my mains up. Oh, okay. It's anyway, that's quite funny. Anyway, let's, folks, the reason why Si was letting me know folks, we've got a new moon coming up here on next the 31st. That's a week from yesterday, so we want to be watching that very, very closely because we've got some really nice patterns unfolding in the corn and wheat. I sent those out in a video last night. Very, very interesting to take a quick look at those soybeans are doing the same thing. And remember, we've been through all this tariff stuff and these markets are still holding up pretty well because there's still problems with the market for corn and beans, especially for corn. So we'll see whether that's going to be the main thing or not. So let me do one other thing. I'm trying to find that dog on chart and I can't find it. I don't know what I did with it. Ah, here we are. Let's just get it up here and now we'll be ready. Just give me one second to do this. I think it's worthy to see it because I'm, when I get ready to trade like I'm watching key levels, I go down to a smaller time frame and that's what gives me the areas that I like to see happening and this is B1 that you'll be able to spot quite easily in the gold because it was a really nice retracement off the bottom. If you remember the harmonic numbers, of course, you know, are 17 and 34. You had that 17, it takes you right up to that 34 level. The high was 3410. We're now trading at 1423. That's down $1100 in a matter of just about an hour. That tells you that there's some type of a high was made in gold at that time. That's when Silver was making that high that we had at the 166850. A new high by half a cent in Silver. Give me a break, boys and girls. I mean, you should expect it to really go blastin' through if that's neither here nor there. So sort of pay attention to that. It's very, very interesting to see if it's going to happen. Someone's asked a question about the bonds and the interest rate stuff. Folks, I don't know. I hear the stories of negative interest rates. If we get bonds above 158, 159 again, then I'm going to have to say, yeah, there's probably going to be negative interest rates. These guys are really smart that are out there.

Okay, folks, we've got Tim Bost out of Sarasota, Florida, Financial Cycles Weekly on the line. Tim, how are you doing today? I'm excellent, Larry. How about yourself? Still above ground, staying away from open graves works for me every day. Well, I think you've got a birthday coming up this weekend, so we'll see what you do. Why do you bring these things up? You know what I did about five years ago, Tim, and it's worked really well for me? I start giving my birthdays away a day early to people that are 20 years old that want to start drinking early, and that's worked really well for me, so I'm going to continue doing that. If you're a astrologer, if we get you a birthday, you're in big trouble, so let's put it that way. How's that? Thank you very much. I have the same birthday as Ralph Elliott, which is quite unusual. So I think that's funny, and not only that, but I have three or four of my students, my favorite students, actually. I have a birthday, and then, of course, my super, super duper favorite student is a birthday is going to be on Friday, the 26th, and he's sitting about three miles due west of you right now. Anyway, what are you seeing right now? First of all, we have a question about the Bitcoin. You've been very, very accurate on that lately. We're trading down in that 9,000 range. Are you seeing anything in Bitcoin that looks interesting, Tim? Well, we still remain long-term bullish with Bitcoin, and one of the interesting things that's been going on with the recent news about Facebook's venture into the crypto space that has really skewed the dynamic for the cryptocurrency markets overall with people trying to figure out what the heck this is all about. So that's a little bit of an anomaly that we're dealing with short-term. But based on our cycle work, we're still looking for a move upward in Bitcoin's shorter term here into about the 6th, 7th of August, and I've still got a target of almost 14,000 for that timeframe. So we'll see if that plays out or not. It certainly has the potential to do that, and so whether or not the short-term play turns out for us to our advantage, a longer term, we remain solidly bullish. We think this is a mature market and deserves continuing attention. Tim, you've got a chart up here on your astrocycles projections that you sent out the last time we were on the O, and I have to give you a big hand, the sound of one-hand clapping because it's certainly been spot on. And here we are on the 25th where you've got your point A there. And of course, point B, I believe, is that some type related to the Bradley model, Tim? Well, this is kind of a derivation of the Bradley model, a modification of that. What Bradley did was basically weight planetary factors as being positive or negative for the markets. And the Bradley model does a pretty good job of nailing the inflection points in the markets, the turning points, but not always in the right direction. Sometimes the model inverts here, so that's a challenge with any kind of cycle work, as you well know. What that point A on the chart is is actually coming up next Monday. That is the Poseidon direct station that's coming up then. We expect a little bit of a move in the S&P up to that point. A little bit of leveling off the B coming in there will be August the 11th. That is a very remarkable date. And actually all of these points that we flagged on this chart this time around are associated with planetary stations when there's a movement forward or backward from the Earth's perspective in the orbit of a planet. We want to pay attention to those times when a planet goes retrograde so at point B on August the 11th we have two planetary stations occurring simultaneously. Jupiter will be going direct and Uranus will be going retrograde. So we're watching that date in particular as a very significant potential high in the markets around that time. Tim, we have a question for one of our listeners here at TFNN. What does Poseidon have to do with this? Well Poseidon is one of the trans-Neptunian factors that we track and these are outer outside the known reaches of the solar system they're actually kyper belt objects and what we've discovered is that they create kind of a standing wave effect against which a lot of the short-term market dynamics play out. So we flag these and we do our back testing of course with all of these planetary cycles to see how they've impacted the markets in the past. So we have the correlations time-wise we can look in past history and project into the future of course when these plans will do these certain kinds of movements and then all we do is go back and look at the corresponding dates with the markets and see is there any correlation. So we believe Poseidon will have this effect of kind of a short-term top in the markets a fairly minor move down but we're looking at that as the first big point coming up in the next couple of weeks here. Well you know you have to take your hat off to you Tim because you're always in that top running for market timing along with you know Steve Rhodes and Arch Crawford and some of the other folks that are on Terry Szymanski's in there too so there must be something to this. Yeah it's pretty good company and not only that but the fact that it actually works you know one of my things on my bucket list it's like number four I think is that I would like to see a segment on CNBC or Bloomberg for maybe five minutes about astro-harmonic cycles and stuff like that and it'll come from place like MIT Harvard you know Yale or someplace where the the Ariadites are and I'm sure that's what they'll talk about but that's what I believe you know we might be able to do that. I mean you remember Louis Ruchizer you remember when he showed he used to have George Lindsay on he used to rather did three peaks in a domed house and he was rather eccentric to say the least but he talked about that to somewhat and it was it was always very interesting to me but it wasn't until 1986 and 87 I met Arch in 87 of course he lives down the street from me now but I still look at it I don't understand it a lot but I can see bits and pieces of it that's the that's the thing when I see these Mercury retrogrades and full moons and new moons my goodness how the market can turn on those times is totally amazing hey tell us a little bit about this free webinar that you're going to give to the folks right we do have a free webinar coming up after the market closed tomorrow and this is we're titling it what's working now in Astro trading we try to do periodic reviews of our market forecast and a recent track record with our timing as well as talk about some of the methodologies that we have available that we're using regularly we also have membership programs so that folks can take advantage of some special offers with that so that's that's one of the reasons the webinar is free to give folks a chance to take a look at what we're doing how it works the kind of track record we've got so that they can see if it's appropriate for them or not okay now Tim does this free webinar come with the money back guarantee absolutely that's the kind we like double your poverty back if you don't like it let's let's talk a little bit about these two books that you're talking about I think those both but those are pretty much beginning books aren't they well different degrees here we've got we gotta pay a few bills okay and if you don't mind we'll be right back with Tim Boss thank you my friend we'll be right back folks music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music music hundred over the four-year period.

We're talking with Tim Boss to Financial Cycles Weekly about these two books that he's talking about. Tim, after you go over with these books, I would like to go over those upcoming astro-trading dynamics again. Could we do that? Surely. No problem at all. So tell us about the books and then we'll go over these trading dates. Very briefly, both of these books are available on Amazon.com. They continue to provide good service in delivering things like that. Mercury Money and the Markets is about profitable planetary cycles for short-term astro-trading. And it's really, as you say, kind of a beginner's level book. If you've not had a lot of experience with astro-trading, this will give you an introduction to some of the methodologies that we use. We, of course, pay attention to the mercury retrograde periods in this book. But there are other mercury dynamics as well, including correlations with gold trading cycles. And this book also includes a 201-year ephemera, so listing of all the mercury retrogrades dates coming up for two centuries. So it's a great reference book to keep on hand as well. Bitcoin Astrology is an anthology of articles about astrological perspectives on Bitcoin markets. I edited the book and contributed a couple of chapters. We also have contributions by Bill Moradian, Consola Morera, Christine Skinner and Wendy Stacey, who added their perspectives on Bitcoin. We wanted to kind of establish some groundwork in terms of what we're looking at astrologically with Bitcoin. And so far, this is the only book that I know of that has focuses on that particular dynamic in the cryptocurrency space. So if you're interested in Bitcoin, we recommend that one highly. And it includes a lot of reference charts there as well. As far as these upcoming astrotrading dynamics, what we're looking at really coordinates with that chart that I provided. All of those turning points that we're flagging between now and the end of October correspond with these different planetary stations. The times when planets are beginning or ending in retrograde motion is essentially what we're talking about with all of that. As I mentioned, during the first segment here, one of the key dates we're paying attention to is coming up on August 11th, when we have both a Jupiter direct station and a Uranus retrograde station on the same day. So we think that's going to be a pretty significant point in the markets. Of course, that comes on a Sunday. So we could see things hitting with that as early as Friday the night or as late as Monday the 12th. So we're looking for that weekend as kind of a major pivot point with the markets. Then at the end of August, we've got another transeptunium factor of METOS on August 31st that's making a retrograde station there. So what we're looking at is really for much of the month of August for about a three week period of potential downturn between the 11th and the 31st with that chart we provided. What we're looking at is that downward swing in the cycle from point B to point C with C being that August 31st at METOS retrograde station. Then in September, a move back up into the 12th of September with the Cupido direct station, another of the transeptunium factors, and then a pullback from there to September 18th about a one week move to the downside with the Saturn direct station on the 18th of September. Then the next couple of major astrological signals that we're looking at come up in October, around the 10th to the 12th, we've got two other transeptunium factors, Hades and Kronos, both going retrograde at that timeframe. We're looking for that as a significant low in the trading dynamic with a move back upwards slightly towards the end of the month. When we get another date on the 31st of October, with two retrograde stations occurring simultaneously, the transeptunium vulcanus as well as Mars, one of the interplanets. That should be a very impactful day as well. Of course, that's the deadline for the Brexit business also. We'll be focusing on Halloween a lot this year. Exactly. We'll have to put on our mask. Tim, I hate to show my ignorance, but these transeptunium things are really beyond my pay grade. When you talk about Poseidon, Demidos and Cupido, is that related to Cupid? Well, the names are always plucked from mythology kind of arbitrarily. This all goes back to some work that was done back during World War One by a German astrologer named Alfred Witte, who was very fascinated with observing battlefield phenomena actually in the trenches in World War One and seeing that that he would expect things to happen based on astrological timing and actual events would occur at other times.  So he developed what he called hypothetical planets, figuring out where they would have to be in order to for everything to work out astrologically. And then about 15, 20 years ago, thanks to some of our space telescopes, we discovered the Kuiper Belt, which is way outside the orbit of Pluto. And it's a whole bunch of thousands of little teeny objects in space. And all of these correspond with the orbits that Vita had calculated back in 1915. And so we now have physical objects that match some of his speculative dynamics. And so we factor those in as long term, slow moving kind of baseline factories in our calculations. Well, you just described why Newton and Einstein were so involved with astrology. When you look at this, this is really, really, really quite amazing. Anyway, listen, I want to thank you for being on our show today. We're going to have you on again, of course. And if I get down to that area sometime in the near future, we'll have lunch and visit like we always do. So absolutely. Is the red tide finally gone down there? Is it disappeared? Yeah, we've had a good bit of rain here lately. And it's dissipated a lot of the red tide activity. But it's, you know, the major problem here is the runoff from all the golf courses, the fertilizer going into the Gulf of Mexico. That's right. Exactly. Give us the for those of those that are not in their cars and stuff. What is the address for the webinar that you're going to have tomorrow? Webinars a shortened link. It is bit.ly bit.ly slash Astro now and astro is all caps. No w is lowercase bit.ly slash Astro now and that is case sensitive. So you need to put in astro in caps and then no w lowercase immediately after that. Well, those of you who are out there that have trouble with that kind of stuff, just drop me an email and I'll send you the link. Good. Make it easy. Listen, I really appreciate you being on again. You're really a joy to have on and I love your chart. We'll certainly be watching those dates. And you know, Tim, if you get one of them right, we're going to have you on again. How's that? Oh, okay.

Since 1984, Basil Chapman has been using the Chapman Wave methodology to advise traders of his expert market opinion. Well, originally hand drawing charts from the late 1970s into the 1980s, Basil noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later, Basil found that computer software which included the standard market technical indicators enhanced the degree of accuracy and 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, Basil Chapman advises his subscribers of his expert market opinion each market day with his opening call newsletter.

I'll just show you what the AI is showing for today. We had a high forecast at about eight, eight, 30, up around 3028. We're now 3004. The bottom, if it's going to be correct, should happen between 11 and 12 o'clock. And remember, this thing is only right some of the time. It's like everything else.  So it's in an uptrend. So there should be about somewhere between 1130 and 12 o'clock. And that should be for the rest of the day. But let me explain something to you about failures. If this market doesn't make a bottom by 1231 o'clock, that means it's going to be down the whole rest of the day. And you don't want to fool around with those kind of things because they get very, very nasty. So pay close attention to that as you look at some of these things unfold and you'll be able to see that. So Ruby, the sugar is held. The sugar is held. So we're worried about you. But we went right down to that 1160 area. We're now trading above that 12 bucks. Now that's good. Put your stop at break even, darling, and you should be OK. That's what it looks like to me. So pay attention. The coffee, we're still under a little pressure and coffee. We've come down now 16 cents. And I think that we will be able to have a take a look at that coffee at around 96 bucks a pound. No, no, $96 a pound. You know, it's $9 and six no, $96 a pound. Yeah, the way they do it for coffee, not what you buy in the store, of course, but the bulk stuff. So we'll watch that one a little bit later. Another thing, those of you that belong to the 24 seven family folks, we we've got. We've got some of the most incredible volatility coming in the month of August and September that we've seen in a long time. This is based on long term studies that relate to probability and what's happened in the past based on, you know, past things. You just move them forward. But between August and September, there's going to be some really wild things happening. And I've got a new video program now. Thanks to John that Snagit that makes it a whole lot easier for me to get this out to you. And folks, I know you're not going to believe this, but I'm actually considering social network. Oh my God, who is that speaking? Live every day in an attitude of gratitude and make God bless.
