Okay. Good morning, everyone. Welcome back to the class. There's a second lecture on church and ministry administration. Let's go forward from where we paused. Okay. So we were talking this on page 26. We were talking about employee development that we look at ways in which we can keep developing people. And we talked about some practical ways we can do this. And now here are some additional things we can do to help people grow professionally within the organization. So remember that for most people, they want to keep growing. Very few, very few that you'll find there you give them a job. They say, okay, I'm satisfied doing this. Don't give me anything. That's very few. Most people are looking to grow professionally. They want to, you know, do bigger things, better things. They want to, of course, earn more in a year increase in salary, etc. But in order for that to happen, they also have to grow professionally. And so we need to create opportunities for that group. How can we do that? One is we can give them new projects to handle. So it's okay, hey, you've been doing this work so far. Let me give you something bigger, bigger responsibility, a bigger role. Can you take on a little bit more responsibility? So new projects, new opportunities, new assignments, our increased responsibility. Can you oversee little more areas of the ministry? Or even moving them up to new roles. So these are things we have to look at. Of course, in all of this, you need to consider what they're capable of. Do they have the competencies to take on these responsibilities? Secondly, can they handle that increased responsibility? Some people cannot say, hey, now you have to manage five, six people. Some people may not be able to do that. They're happy doing maybe something that they themselves do. But if they have to come in and they have to manage more people, they may find that difficult. So all the increased workloads, that means there's more work to be done. So that means they have to increase their efficiency. You still have just so many days, hours of work. But you have to do more in the given time. How can you do it? Be more efficient. So usually I would discuss with the people that I will say, hey, I'm thinking about this. Would you be able to do this extra work? Would you be able to take on this new area of ministry? Would you be able to take on this new project? Would you be able to do this? You think about it. You don't have to answer me now. Take two weeks, think about it, pray about it, and you come back to it. So usually I would just place it in front of them and say, if you go, take some time, then you come back and tell me. At the same time, I'm also looking at, see, there are some people who say yes to everything. They are very enthusiastic. No matter what you tell them to do, they'll say, yes, I'll do it. There are those kinds of people. So then for those kinds of people, I have to be careful because they'll say yes to it, but then they'll struggle afterwards. Or they may, if they're finding it difficult, they won't know how to come back and say, I'm actually finding this difficult. I need help with this. So for those kinds of people, I myself will be a little careful to move, give them a little bit more. Is it okay or not? Because I know by default they will say yes. So I'm a little careful. For some people, they need to be pushed. That means the other kind of people who will just stay back and as long as you don't understand them, they just keep doing what they want. But they actually have the potential for more. They actually have the potential to stretch. So for them, you have to kind of in a nice way convince them that they can handle something more. They can do more work, etc. So you have both kinds of people. So you have to work with them a little differently and never force them to do more. You always let them agree to taking off the responsibility. You put it before them. You say this is what it will cost, meaning you have to do all of this work. Are you ready for it? Can you do it?  So even if I have seen the potential, I have seen that they can do this. The final decision is theirs. So I give it, let them do it.  We give them the role, etc. And then usually if they are growing up, then we will also increase their salary. That means now they're carrying more responsibilities. They're handling more leadership. They're handling others, etc. So based on that, their salary also goes up. Once they have taken up the new role and they're doing this. So the whole thing is we need to develop people. We can develop them while they're doing the job. We also develop them by giving them new opportunities. And the nice thing is if somebody goes up, takes on a new role, then their own role, in many cases, things that they are doing, actually creates opportunity for some new people to come in there. So it's actually helping them grow and it's also helping somebody else grow, come into that place as they move up or take on bigger responsibilities. So it is good for the organization. It's good for the people to come in and take up some new roles. Now the next thought is, and I'll finish these things here, is the way we work is every January, we will revise the salaries of people. So generally, every January, people will get a raise. Every December, they get a bonus. I'm talking about the full-time start. Every December, everybody gets a bonus, meaning up to 25,000 rupees, they get a bonus based on the calculation. And then every January, we will revise the salary, but it is based on performance. So if there has been no improvement on performance, then sometimes I will tell them, say, hey, this past year, of course I'm talking to them throughout the year, but there has not been much important improvement in performance with leader salary editors. So in some cases, in some occasions I've done that, but they've really not, just they've done the same thing the whole year. They've not made efforts to take things out. So we'll leave it there. After you change your improved performance, then you'll take up your salary. But in most cases, people always, they always are growing. They are doing something better. They're taking on responsibility. So you're seeing that. So every January, their salary will be raised. And we have an upper limit. Like we can't just raise the salary randomly. So we, I mean, in talking about Indian rupees, it will be between 5,000 to 15,000 rupees, is generally the increase that they will get in January. That is 5,000 to 15,000 rupees per month. So if you multiply that by 12, that's the annual salary increase, but the monthly salary will go up by 5 to 15,000 rupees in that range. If you've done some improvement, okay, 5,000 monthly. If they've done fairly well, 10,000. They've done exceptionally well, okay, 15,000. If they've not improved at all, then no salary change. So just based on their work. It's a standard thing we do for everyone. So it's not, it's not some huge raise, like, you know, corporates would give, but it is something that says, look, we recognize you've improved, you've grown, and so therefore your monthly salary will also be raised like this. So that's something we do every year. Now, as I mentioned earlier, if, you know, during the course of the year, if these people are not performing, or if there is a change in the role, like then we, at that time, even during the course of the year, we will revise the salary. You know, like if somebody's not performing and they have to change to a different role, then we will have to adjust the salary based on the new role that they're taking. And if the new role does not require the same level of skill and responsibility, they're coming down, so to speak, then yeah, we will bring the salary down based on that. So if something like that happens during the course of the year, it's rare, but if it does happen, then we will change. Dealing with difficult situations, so, you know, there are two kinds of approach, two things we do here. One is, there's a three strikes approach, like I think I shared it last time, that if people are doing something that's wrong, or they're not performing well, we tell them, you know, first warning, or first time we have a conversation, record it, second time we have a conversation, record it. And if it still doesn't change third time, it's okay, now we have to bring this to a close. So the third time, if something repeats, we close it. In some situations, it will result in immediate termination. If there is any example, there's any conduct that is really bad, immediate termination. So I'll give an example, one or two examples. I don't know if I've shared it with this, but this happened many years ago in our, this was in our, among our church staff, there was one guy who was working, he was a married man. He was married, he had to give this. There's another lady who was working as staff, well, our full time staff in church, church office, they were here. And her husband had passed away, just recently, they were all part of church only, but her husband passed away, and she had two children. So one is a married man, one lady, okay, her husband is passed away, means she can get married, she can get married. That's fine, they're not against it. But what happens? I observed that these two people were getting very close in the church office. And sometimes, and again, this is not like I'm, I'm sitting and looking at the camera as a baby. It just happened that, you know, I think it was a Saturday, I can't remember now, exactly, it's happened years ago, so I can't remember the details. But anyway, I was walking into the office, and I saw these two people in a kind of awkward, it was very close to each other, talking, and nobody else was there. I felt a little suspicious, but I had no evidence. And we don't have CCTV cameras in our church office. So I have no evidence. So I called this guy, I said, see, I don't know if anything is going on between you and the other person. You are a married man.  Yes, her husband is passed away. She can get married whoever she wants, but you cannot get into any kind of relationship with her. So please be careful. So I just had a conversation with him, just one day, because I don't have any evidence. I just happened to come into the office that time. I saw them both there and nobody else was there. So I was a little suspicious, but I had no evidence. So I just had a conversation with him. I left it at that. Then, again, I told him about the actual details, but maybe I would say, maybe within two weeks or something like that, I get a call from his wife. Now, they're all part of the church. His wife is calling me. She says, this problem is going on. This man, his husband, he comes home. From home, he's sitting and chatting with the other lady. So now I have actual evidence. His wife is telling me. He comes home, he's sitting and chatting with the other lady and he's saying, I have work to do. Now, I know they have no work in common. They're in different areas of ministry. There will be no reason even in the office to talk to each other. There's no common. For him to go home and be chatting to this other lady and giving the excuse, I have work to do. I know there's no work between them. Now, the wife is calling me. And I said, okay. Now, I took it very seriously. And I said, okay. And then she was telling me, it's going on every day. For hours, he comes home, he's chatting with the lady and it's happening every day. She has talked to him. He says all these things. And I said, okay.  So I call them on a Saturday afternoon when nobody will be in the office. The office was closed. That particular Saturday, the office was closed. So I told her and I told these two people, the church staff, I told them to come. And I told his wife to come. And these ladies and kids, I told them not to come. They were both teenagers. So, you know, like 16 and 18 or something like that. So I told them not to come. So they all came on Saturday to the church office. So first I called his wife.  So I spoke to her separately. And she told me everything. See, he's sitting at home. He's chatting all this. There's going on. Sometimes he actually goes out with that lady. This is the wife telling me. First hand information. Okay. Then I called that lady's kids. What's happening? You see, our mom is at home. She's talking to that man all the time. Sometimes they go out together. What is this? He's a married man. This is a... Okay. Her husband is passed away. She can get married to somebody, but not another married person who's actually married now. So I have actual evidence from the wife and from the children. Then I called these two people. I asked them. I said, is there anything going on between you? And sitting on the table in front of me, they said, no, nothing is going on. I'm like, hey, I just spoke to your boy. I just spoke to your children. They have told me what they are seeing. It is not life.  They're just friends. Nothing happened. So that was it. I said, right now, please both of you, take all your belongings. Now how can... And they were terminating.  This was... So that was immediate termination on Saturday itself. Now, why do you make that kind of a decision? It is because we are a church. And as a church, we have certain standards. Now, if this was a conference, they will not interfere what you do personally. That is your problem. You come and do the work and go. You have relationship and all. That is all your problem. It's out to see you go. But this is church. Where conduct... And especially, you know, this one is totally against what the word of God teaches us. So immediate termination. And then we try to work with them outside. Because they were members in the congregation at that time. I dismissed them from being staff. But then I tried to work with them as church members. I tried to speak with them, but they would not change. It ended up in a very bad place. So it just went on. It became worse. This man got divorced. He got married to this lady. I don't know if he got married or whatever, but they moved in. So it became very bad. Although we tried to work with them outside. But this is an example where... It's a difficult situation. Church staff doing this. And you have to deal with them. And I remember during that time, I actually got a call from one of the church people. They come and say, we saw these two people walking together like this, going around. What is happening? So it was actually... And they know these two people are church staff. They're working for the church office. They have certain responsibilities. And they're being observed outside from others. So I even got a call. They don't see me. It was quite embarrassing. Anyway, it's just one example of difficult situations that you have to handle. But because they are staff, it is immediate diminish. We cannot let it go on. There have been other difficult situations. For example, I had requested, this happened during the COVID time. Because of COVID, we could all not all meet. We couldn't do the normal work. Everybody, okay, you all work from home, et cetera. And I'd given everybody work to do from home. And so to one person, I said, please document the processes, the whole thing that you're working on in that particular area of ministry, documented. And please also plan on building that area of ministry. Because we would like to hire at least two more people for that ministry. It's your responsibility to grow that area. And this is all work from home. So all that person had to do is to sit down and write down, you know, because they're not meeting that a lot of activities closed. Just like when you write down, document this. And I'd given everybody a timeline. So within one or two months, please finish this work, send it to me. Everybody else sends, they work. And this person didn't send. So I reached out, hey, what happened? They're supposed to send the thing. They even sent him samples. Please look at these things. You work on this document, document the process, the systems that in your area of ministry and see how you can have a plan to build it. Then I gave him another two months. He didn't do it. So now I've given warnings. I've made lots of requests. It's almost, and I couldn't understand why this person would not write this. And, you know, in all, I don't think it would have taken more than, you know, six, seven pages writing to actually document what was happening. Others have done it. They all sent it to me by the date. This person didn't do it. I gave another two months. He didn't do it. So then when we were able to meet in person, I called him. What happened? Why? I don't want to do it. I said, I don't want to do it. So what is the problem? You know, why? Others have done their work. Why can't you just document in your ministry area, your responsibility? Why can't you write it down and, you know, we want to build this area? So then, so I had given him almost six months extra. Now I was okay. I don't know what I was thinking. Then I had to make the decision. I found this very silly.  Just write it down and share it. And then have a plan to build your method. It was very simple. It was nothing complicated. He didn't do it. And I had to make the decision to dismiss. And we gave him one month's notice dismissed. So he said, he was a nice guy. I had no problem with his work. Only thing, this one thing he refused to do. I was like, why? And he would not change. After so many requests, so many things, he would not change. Then I had to let him know this is a silly thing, but it's a serious request. Everybody is doing it. Why can't you do dismiss? I'm very sad. I don't know whether he got a job after that. I don't know. It was a sad situation. It was actually unnecessary. It was unnecessary. But it happened. And that was a difficult situation where we had to terminate. Actually for no valid reason. So good man, good person. Out of the church. Just he was refusing to document his own. Ministry. All right. This wrap up here. Exit interview usually when people are leaving. The HR would talk to them and just to ask them how was your experience here? Do you have any feedback for us as an organization? How we can... Exit interview is useful because people will say anything and whatever they want because they're leaving. And that's a good thing to do. Because that's when they can just say what they want. They're not wanted. But it's a good thing to get that feedback. It'll show us where we are lacking and where we can improve. Another important point is to follow whatever labor laws are there in your state, in your part of the world. So for example, contributing to people's retirement fund is a law. So we have to follow that. Deducting the tax from the salaries is a law. We have to follow that. If an employee works for at least five years, works full-time five years and then they leave, we have to pay them that duty to calculate the graduates. That's a law. We have to follow that. They have a formula that we have to use. So all these are laws and we have to follow with your full-time staff, whatever they need. So I'll just answer some two questions. These are questions that were asked by previous patches. What can we do to help people grow within the organization? I shared some thoughts. We can train them, give them opportunities, mentor them, give them feedback, give them opportunities to learn. And here's a very important question. How do we separate the personal life of the church staff and their work at church? So the thing is a lot of the people who are church staff are also part of the church. They're in the congregation. And we prefer that because they understand what the church is about. So it's very easy when they have to make decisions. They're all aligned to where the church is going. So it's a benefit. But then how do we separate out the time of work in the church office with their own personal life? So I try to be very careful about that. Otherwise, church work can just fill up their own personal life. Even at home, they're doing church work. And it'll affect their marriage. It'll affect their family, all of that. So one is simple things. And I try to be very respectful. You don't have to take church work. You don't have to take it home. You do the church work here. We will not interfere in your personal life. So I try to avoid messaging or calling our church staff outside of work hours unless it is an emergency. So emergency will happen. Somebody is not well. Somebody is in the hospital. Somebody passed away. A funeral has to happen. Of course, those things are emergencies. We will talk at all times. But otherwise, church work related matters do it during office hours.  And so we respect each other's the way. So I will not disturb them. They will not disturb me or we will not disturb each other during personal time unless it is an emergency. So we keep that separate. Then also, they are free to do whatever they want with their personal time. Meaning, how they use their personal time, we do not interfere. We don't even disturb that. It's up to them. How you use your personal time. As long as you work, do the church work during the office hours. 40 hours a week, that's all. And we don't check on where you go, where you come. The only important thing is the testimony has to be good.  Those guys, I think they can't do. They can't do that person. Keep your person. You do what you want to spend your time. Some of our people may have their own ministry outside. We don't interfere with that. They want to go preach in some other church, a conference, go do it. It's up to you. So we don't interfere with that. As long as they are not doing some fundraising or some promotions, there are not. Of course, there are some guidelines. We tell our church staff not to get involved with anyone in our congregation in any kind of business dealing, financial matters. Not going to that. Because somebody is a church staff. They get into some sort of a financial dealing with people in the church. Something goes wrong. It will affect us. It will reflect back on the church itself. And it has happened in the past and it's led to some very difficult situations. So as a guideline, we say, don't do anything. You want to do business good with other people outside. But don't go into business dealings with people from the church. That is between church staff and church members. Don't do that. Between church members, that is their decision. We don't interfere. And family constraints. Sometimes people have to travel. We try to manage that. Sometimes the wife expects her husband to be at home all the time. Say, no, no, no, this is real work. This is not just if that person was working in some office, they have to go to the office. This is also real office work. We have to be in the office and do ministry, we can sit at home and do those things. Okay, let me see the questions on the chat. Okay. So question on the chat from Jaffina. Have you ever felt guilty bad after terminating someone? If yes, how did you overcome it? All right. So that's a good question. And the answer is, yeah, you always feel bad. You always feel bad that you had to dismiss somebody or you had to make a very tough decision. It's not easy. You wish there was an easier way out that, hey, I want somebody to help this person, right? But then I tell myself that I have done it with a clear conscience. You know, that I have explored all the possible options to try to help this person, but we couldn't do anything. No, like we couldn't give them a different role. We couldn't help them learn something. We couldn't reach the situation where we had to make this decision and we've done it with a clear conscience. So my heart is clean. My hands are clean. I feel bad that, you know, I had to make the decision that because they also will not feel good. They lost a job or they will make a change. Something's changed, right? So I feel bad about it. But then I've done what I can and my conscience is clear. Now, in some cases that has been retaliation, you know, for example, I don't remember one case that happened some years ago where we had a, like people in charge of a certain ministry responsibility and things were okay. But there were certain things that had gone wrong there, especially in their interaction with some other person in the congregation because it became very bad. And that's not a good thing, right? No, as people in leadership, we have to set a good example. We can't be in competition with somebody, some church member and have that relationship. So that was one thing that happened. Plus, I noticed that because they were also quite busy, they were not able to actually take things forward. So I waited almost, so they had been in that for at least three years, I think, and that particular year, and I had been always, like I've been meeting them on a monthly basis, I've been saying, okay, keep, you know, try to do this, try to grow, try to grow, but that was not, they were not able to do it because they were busy, they were not able to do it. So then I said, okay, see, what is the best, so putting all of these things together and taking a lot of these factors into consideration, I was on that. I said, what is the best decision for the good of the organization? And so I took all the factors in that. I mentioned two of them, there are other things that I don't want to talk about, but I took all this and then I said, okay, so the best thing would be to request them to step down and let somebody else who knows how to do this, take over this minister, in fact, somebody else who was doing it before, who handed it to them. I thought it would be an opportunity for them to grow, but over three years, whatever the duration was, three plus years. Okay, so I'm going to let him come back and take it. So my thought was, and then I prayed over it because this was like, I think I prayed over this for two months. Seriously, this was like a very big decision and big means for me at that time that I'm going to ask these two people to hand this ministry back to the person who was having it before and to tell them to step down because I was, all these factors are very, things I'm going to do. So I said, how will they take it? How will they be affected? For two months I was praying, I was praying, God, this is what I feel, this is the right decision to make, but how to do it, how do I tell them and how do I make this? So I was literally, internally, nobody else knew. I did not discuss it with anybody else. I was struggling with it in prayer for two months and I had been giving feedback to this couple over several months now, saying, hey, you have to work on this, you have to work on this, it's not happening. So they know my expectation, they know it's not happening and all the other things are going around. So finally I called in the office, I said, see, this is the decision, over the next one month. Yeah, over the next one month, just hand it off to this other person. So all I, in my mind was this person was already handling the ministry. They're just giving it back to the ministry and within one month you can do it. Actually you can do it in one day because the person already knows how to run this ministry. In one day you can run the ministry, but I said give one month because I just also wanted them to accept it. I made that decision, it became such a big issue. I was actually shocked. You know that it kind of blew out of proportion. You know that then they went, it was like they were crying in front of the people and all those things, I didn't expect that.  I didn't tell them to leave the church. I didn't tell them you cannot serve in the church or you cannot be a part of the church. I didn't say any of that. I just said please hand this role back to and this other person. Over one month. That one month was so difficult. I don't know what conversations they had with people, all of that. And I felt so, but I went and I apologized. I went and met the person. I didn't mean to hurt you. I only was thinking about what is good for the church and I was requesting you to hand it back. It's good for you, good for the church, good for everybody. That is all that is there. I didn't envision it to become such a big problem and people in the church were also affected. What is this? But one thing I knew my conscience was clear and I knew I was making the decision in the best interest of the church. Yes, these people didn't want to give up that role. So it hurt them really bad. The person who was coming in was somebody who was already handling the role previously. So they didn't start one day one. So eventually they left the church. They went and started their own ministry outside. All those stuff happened. So it was a very painful experience. But the thing that helped me was, God, I made this decision with the future of the church in mind. That was all. I saw all these things. I took all these factors in and I did it for the best of the people. That's it. My heart is clean. I prayed. I struggled with it. My hands are clean. But yes, it was painful. Very difficult. That was a difficult situation. But we came through. Everything was going fine. Church people understood. Today, the thing I have one important thing was, I never spoke about them. I never spoke about the matter in the church. Other than making that one Sunday, making the announcement that we are going to make this change over the next one month. This is a change that's going to happen. Other than making that announcement and thanking them in front of everybody and praying for them. I never spoke about it in church. I never discussed it with anybody else. Only some people came and asked me personally. I explained to them why I made the decision, how I did it. Only for those who came to me personally and asked me, why not two couples came and asked. I explained it. So because of that, people in the congregation respected me so much more. They said, we saw how you journey through this. That you did not speak. You did not say anything bad. Even though there was a repercussion, you didn't speak about it. You didn't speak bad. You never did it. We saw how you journey through it. And we respect you for it. So the congregation itself. They all stayed. Any other questions? Sorry, there was a long answer to your question. Any other questions? All right. So the last piece there on page 27 was how do we pastor church staff? So here's a kind of a funny situation maybe that the people who are working in the church, they are church staff, but they're also congregation members. So in one way you are their leader or a boss. So you say that, but you're also their pastor. So how do you handle both roles? So it's very clear in the office when I'm talking to you about your work, I'm talking to you as a boss or your employer or whatever you want to look at it. If you come to me with a personal problem, okay, then I'm speaking to you as a pastor. I will speak to you with care, love and share the word and dignity, et cetera. But when it comes to work, I'm speaking to you as an employer. So that is very clear somehow. We've been able, in the church office, we've been able to manage both because it is true. They're also part of the congregation. They also have personal and spiritual things that need to be addressed. But at the same time, you have to talk about work. And so to see both roles and to handle both roles is important. And thankfully everybody in the staff have understood it and they're able to journey well together. Okay, so let's wrap for today. We'll close in prayer. There are no more questions. I hope these things are, you know, you find these things useful and things that you could take and, you know, use in your own ministry and get free to ask any further questions that are. Okay, but somebody close in prayer and then we'll discuss this. Anyone could pray. That's great. Dear heavenly Father, we come to you under the name of Jesus. Thank you for this day. We thank you for the class that we had. Jesus. But we thank you for everything that we learned on how to handle employees and stuff. God, I just pray that you help us to always have the focus on you and to walk in wisdom and to love everyone around us. You be the wisdom and you carry this Jesus into the hardest situation and through everything. We thank you for Pastor Ashish for teaching us all these beautiful practical things from the Bible.

If you're watching this video, it means I failed. Hi, my name is Dr. Doe and you're currently on my YouTube channel where I post fighting game videos daily. This has been a streak I've had for a long time now and I'm really proud of it. My consistency in uploading has never really been my strongest suit, sometimes I upload an hour later, sometimes I upload an hour earlier, but usually I do get an upload out every day here talking about games I really love. That is why it's very unfortunate that my cat Videl, whom I love very much, decided to take out my Ethernet cord on New Year's Eve. If you aren't aware with fighting games, having an Ethernet cord is very important to having a stable connection and without it, I simply could not get a decent game of Dragon Ball Fighters to record. I'm not going to take your points, I can't in good conscience take your points. You're going to have to take my points. And with no stores open, it really left me no other choice. Either I destroy the streak that I've been working so hard to build over the past year or I look for fighting games that you can play offline. And the only true competitive experience I'm aware of that you can access without an internet connection would be this game. That is why today, if you are watching this video, I am going to be playing the no internet Google Chrome game in what will be, without a doubt, the worst video on this channel. This is going to be the saddest ranked match video you ever see. But let's do this thing. I am a champion. I am good at the game. I do have to say I guess I'm a dyno man. Small cactus, big cactus, triple cactus. Bro, I am killing it right now. Hold on. High score. All right. Pretty easy high score to beat. Not going to lie. What should be the goal for this video? What? What? Um, what? I don't know what the competitive dinosaur community knows. Why do I pronounce it like that? I don't know what the professional no internet game category looks for. But God, I must be killing it right now. Three hundred on attempt number one. Has that ever been seen before? Has that ever been done? Oh, I am moving. Hold on. Oh, it's picking up pace a little bit now. Things are starting to heat up. Things are starting to heat up. There's throne birds at me now. There's throne birds. Pterodactyls, maybe I can't get a good read on duck that. Oh, low punish. That was sick. What? This is a good. Oh, this is a good reaction time test. I'm losing it. Oh, oh my God. Day night cycles. That is sick. Dock it. What? I'm too good at the game. Good. Is that a duck? OK, that was a duck. Oh my goodness. High and lows. Lows. God, that is such a bad way to switch the screens. It messes with my eyes. I'm killing it. Oh my goodness. I play fighting games. You know, I can react to stuff. Duck it. Jump it. Duck it. Duck it. Oh, the mix ups. You can't mix me. I play online fighting games. You can't mix me. You can't mix me. Duck it. Jump it. Jump it. Oh, DP. Come on. That was cheap. That was cheap. Wait, so the high score is one. I didn't even beat the high score. Run that back. Hold on. I'm beating the high score in this video. Trust me on that. At least trust me on that. Also, if you're watching this, feel free to send me your high score in this game so that I can crush it. Now jokes aside, send it to me on Twitter. I'm interested in seeing what your high score is. If anybody watches this video, that is. This is my worst video on this entire channel. This is the worst video I've ever made. Jump it. Oh, another jump. Pretty easy session. I'm not going to lie. Oh, my God. Was that four cactuses? The cacti? We'll just call that the cacti jump. That's too many cactuses. Triple cactus, easy. Another triple one. Pretty simple stuff. I'm more worried about the cacti jump. That's what's going to get me duck it. Nice. I'm sweating, and I'm not even close to the high score, I'm going to get that high score. I must have set that. It's a thought I missed time that jump. Oh, my goodness. That was a life-threatening one. It's a good thing I have my gaming keyboard and gaming chair accessories. Gives me a 30% boost to gaming prowess. What are the odds I beat this high score, 1 in 7.5 trillion? Oh, you can fast fall? Yo, I didn't know you could fast fall that. Look, I'm discovering new tech. Oh, my goodness. Look at the new tech. You can fast fall. Yo, I'm actually discovering strategies. Fuck. Okay, maybe I got a little overexcited. I fast fall. I fell onto a cat. We're going to run that back. Don't worry about that.  Why'd my cat have to bite my ethered cord on New Year's Day? There was nowhere to get it, dude. There was nowhere to buy a cord. Just jumping over cactus. Oh, single cat. Fast fall? Fast fall? Fast fall? Fast fall? Oh, God, return of the king. This tech doesn't make itself. I'm too good. I hate to keep saying it, but I'm too good at the game. And again, send me your high scores. I want to see what the competition's looking like. Because who knows? This is kind of... Duck that. I should probably jump that for speed, huh? Because with the fast fall ability, yeah, you can really get a lot of speed that way. Oh, my God. Nighttime mode is always so scary. Nice move, dude. Oh, yeah. The fast fall, oh, beautiful strats. The fast fall makes it so that you can really, like, you won't mistime your second jump. Like, right here I can fast fall if, in case any other cactus has come up. All right, I'm 400 away from the high score. Okay, I'm really sweating now. This is where fast fall is gonna come in big use. Oh, baby. Oh, baby.  Here I come, high score.  Oh, quote, cacti jump. Oh, baby, come on. Come on, baby. Come on. Let's go. We did it, boys. We did it. We did it. But I'm not stopping there. I'm going to 3,000 at least. Oh, fast fall. No. I'm getting 2,000 points. I'm too competitive. I'm getting to 2,000 points. And then the video's over. You're not watching this video by now. Let's be honest. You click.  Cut that part out, editor. You're not watching this video. You clicked off so long ago. Fast fall tech is so good. I still can't believe there's actual tech. Look at that. It looks like it speeds me up, right? It really does look like I just have a can of NOS back there. Let me go ahead and speed myself up. Are there any other offline games I can play? Oh, how am I going to get to 2,000 when I'm busy not getting to 2,000? Nice and easy. Nice and easy. Oh, yeah. Oh, come on. I got to stop fast falling. I'm doing it to myself. All right, that's fine. I'm not going to fit. This is going to be the attempt. So this is just going to be one long uncut, like no cuts in this one. This is just going to be one long, continuous train of thought. You are going to get to see what went through my mind when I broke the world record for this game, which is 2,000, I've decided. If I could be honest with you, I'm not as confident as my voice sounds. I'm mostly, it's mostly fake confidence. I'm not going to lie to you. Oh, another cacti jump. What is this RNG, dude? This RNG is not good for the old heart. I can't take it. I can't take it. Going for it. Oh, okay, the pterodactyls are here. That means we're making the right moves. We haven't reached the first night cycle. We'll probably get to that soon-ish. Maybe I've been playing this game for too long, but I can kind of feel the run. All right, first night cycle, my eyes are adjusting. They really do have to take time to adjust. Oh my God, I'm sweating. I'm panicking. I'm panicking. I'm going to start fast falling now. This is where the tech comes in. Oh my God. Oh my God, please don't test me. If they throw a duck, a jump bird at me, I might lose. Duck birds are fine. These are fine. I'm sweating again in night mode.  Oh my God, I'm panicking. I haven't even got the old high score yet, my eyes. I haven't blinked in so long. That's not even, that's not, that one's not a joke. I haven't, the duck bird, I'm starting to react. I'm actually achieving ultra instinct. I'm reacting without thinking. Ah, ah, that actually scared me. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Yes, yes, 2000, yes, yes. I'm going to keep going, I'm going for three. I'm going to crush the world record. There's a difference between trying to be number one and trying to be the best. And I'm going to be the best. Oh my goodness, am I going to get to fourth? Why am I feeling it? Dude, I've achieved a different level. Oh my God, I got to start fast falling. Oh, yes, dude, I'm flying. I'm flying. Oh my goodness, please. Oh, baby, what a move. What a move.  Just keep the pace, keep the pace. Don't lose it, don't lose it. If I can just become a champion. If I can just become a champion. It's, I've reached a good level of speed, I think. Oh my goodness. Oh, that was an interesting choice by me. I'm not going to lie. I got scared of there. Oh my goodness. Please don't throw any more mix-ups at me. I can't believe how good I am. Ha, ha, ha, ha. This was the run. All the tech came together. Oh, I panicked, I panicked, I panicked. You got to like, I'm reading the, ah! Ha, ha, ha. No, well, that is going to be the end of this video. We'll probably never do another video like this again. At least I hope. But I appreciate it. Thank you so much for watching this all the way to the end. We'll be back to normal videos soon. I just got to go get this ethernet cord.

Okay, good morning everyone. Let me know that you can hear me. There's a lot today, but interestingly enough, it's pretty clear what to do. Lucky me that I have a rating system, because if you didn't, you'd think there was a lot of good stuff today. There isn't, but there definitely is a lot of gaps. Oh, this is a good look at today's thing. May 14th, more errors arise from inhibited indecision than from impulsive behavior. It's a really good one. Market new high today. I've been calling it all week. It's Thursday. So today, new high in the market. Expect bullishness all around in the market. Nonstop. If we get up to the high and then go over today, we'll at least get up to it. And if we get up to it, and I'm talking about the spy, the cues. See, I just don't think the spy is going to get over the high without the cues. So it'll be interesting to see how this plays out today. The spy looks like it's going to get over the high today. It's almost there already. The cues, not so much. The cues will get at least up to 111, 112 if the spy makes a new high. If the spy does not make a new high today, it will retest it. And then we gap up tomorrow morning and gap up in the post market tonight and gap up tomorrow morning and then we'll get bought up in the gap. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. I wouldn't do any more continuations and hurts. That's absolutely played out. Beautifully called by me three days down. Don't do anything with that today. The facts, you can continue to watch. DD, you can continue to watch. And I did not look at. I see nothing here. Don't do them. This may very well work, but unfortunately it's going to be spreading and whippy and jerky and I don't think this trades out cleanly. This might work, but I don't think it's going to at all, actually. This is decent, but it's going to be a snail. I don't think I feel like dealing with that today. And I do have somewhere again to go today and I'm not even ready because I spent so much time working this morning that I'm not dressed and ready to leave the house here. And all I've done is look at so many gaps today. There was so much to look at. So I can't be in anything long for the long haul today, but you could be in this to a target. You could be in this to a big target. I didn't put any big targets in the room in this today, just so you know. Nothing that I wrote for the targets was any kind of dream target. 65-64 is the morning target for this. I don't see how that doesn't get there either. So this is what I'm doing. Any questions? Good luck today, everyone. Good luck to me. Okay, if I do this, the stop's going to be 67-30, and that's wide. I don't have the entry yet though. All right, here. I'm staying with this. I don't have the entry yet though. Stop's going to be 67-30 if I take it. As of now, it's going to be 70 by 30, 70 by 30, 70 by 30. And don't take it till it hits. Actually, I figured this would be bigger than this. So, okay, just wait. If this doesn't hit here, I'm not in it yet. So just wait. Just wait. I can't look at anything else right now. I want to play this. This is going to take all my concentration. All right, just wait. That never hit. No one should be in it. Wait, wait, wait. No, there's nothing here.  JCPenney can short right in here with the stop at 875. I'm not doing that. I put it at 877. 877, JCP, if you want it. There it is. There's a call. I'm not doing it because I'm going to stay with the KSS. But there you go. JCPenney, I just gave you a call. Put it at 777 to stop. You can just short it. It's already hit. Okay, it's going to be 40. I'm going to do 99 by 40 in this. And it's going to be very aggressive. 99 by 40. And this is aggressive. 99 by 40. I'm taking KSS. Seven. If you want it, here, you can take it. You can take it at 94. I'm already in it, though. 94, you can take it. I'm already in it, though. I'm already in it. I'm already in it, and you can be in it. And this is aggressive. This is aggressive, but if I get hit out, I'm going to stay on it. I really gave us a big stop, though. Stop is 40. And I took it, and it really didn't hit. I'm just trying to find some way in here without the stop being Jaimungus. If I get hit out, I'm retaking it. I can live with it. That could have gone and broke there. It still might. Here, hold on. Hit out of it. Just wait. I'm going to take it again. I'm not off of it. I just got stopped out. You should be out of this here. I'm letting it rally, and I'm staying with it. I told you that was aggressive. It really didn't trigger. I'm just trying to find a way in with a small stop. I'm going to be in this with a small stop. It's the only thing I want to do today. And I just called JC Penney. You could be in it. Why, that would have been beautiful if I had broke there. I don't know what the stop is going to be in this, but I'm really going to try to get as good of a one as I can. If you did that with me, you're hit out. You should be out of it with one loss. Here, we're going to take it again. It's going to be 55 by 67-20. Crap, 55. It's going to hit soon. 67-20. There, there. Oh my God, I didn't get filled the whole thing. There, there. I'm in. I'm in. You can still take it here. Try to get it here in the 50s. Crap, I don't even have a stop in yet. This is hitting so fast. Put it at 68-10. 68-10, you can put it tight now. 68-10, no room over 68. That just hit very fast. Here, you can still do it. It's trying to back up. Oh my gosh, I barely had any time to figure it out there. I barely had any time to figure it out there. This is moving wild. This is what I expected this to do. That's kind of why I took it down here, and let's go over this. All right, this is it. That's it. This is it. This is it. And one shot and done here, this can't flip over the high. Let's just double check the stop. All right, you can still do this here. I kind of panicked a minute. I didn't get filled full right of ways, but then I did. Anyways, I'm in it. Stop is 68-10. That is plenty of a cushion, and it's 12 cents over the number. And what I really don't want it to do is I really just don't want it to go over 68. If this goes over 68, it's going to fail. Actually, this isn't that bad of an entry. 60 cents, something. It's not that bad. 40 cents would have been better. I really have to get this to run like good now, though. Let me see what JC Penney is doing. Oh, look at this JC Penney. It went all the way right down to the target. Insanity. It went to eight. If you did JC Penney, there was a great call. Oh, my lanta. JC Penney went to eight. It went to the target immediately. In the drop. Did anyone do it? I called it. You could have just got this all the way down. I should have done that too. What the heck? This is going to work anyways, though. Here, you can add more under 48. I should have done them both. Here, you just made in five minutes. Somebody tell me they did JC Penney. It went right down to the target. From where I called it. Too much to do. All right, let's just see here. You can add on this under 30. Let me just see what that would do to my price. Oh, my gosh, a JC Penney. Didn't I do that too? I guess nobody did it because nobody's answering me. I guess nobody did it, huh? I'm not giving this any more room, but I'm still in it. I'm not giving this any more room. I'll give it 15. Here, I'm moving it to 15. I'm giving it 15 now. 6815 is a stop on this. JC Penney was the one to do, and I called it and I could have done it myself. It's too late now, though. I'm in it. What do you mean I'm already in it? There's no... You're either in it here or you're not. JC Penney's gone, though. I just can't talk or look at any of your questions right now. It's a great call I made that I could have done, and now I'm in this thing. This has to hold here now. My gosh. All right, here we go. More under 60 if you want it. Actually, that would be up through our price. Oh, there. I didn't even take more. I didn't even have a chance. I was just going to add there. I didn't even have a chance to even figure it out. There it's going. It's going. It doesn't matter. I'm already in it. We're in it. It's going to work. I was just going to take more. Well, now, see, this is just going to drop here. I didn't even have time to figure it out. This thing is just too wild. I'm in it. I'm in it. I was going to take more at 60, and it just broke on through. Really, I would have been taking more risk. Which would have been fine, because that was the confirmation. This is a great call, but I wish I would have done JCP as well. I really wish I would have. Who killed it? Be honest. Man, where I told you to put the stop held within four cents. Damn, am I good. We're going to make money on this today. 64 is the target. Let me look at the market. Just not ready, but before the end of the week. All right. Here we are. This is set itself. Now it's done. It broke on the five as well. I was going to figure out under 30. Hold on. I should have taken more up there. I have what I have. Here it goes. It's just going, going, going, going, going now. This is a great call. I'm exhausted. I really shouldn't have taken the first trade. I was just, I told you that was aggressive, but I really thought it was going to hit and go right in there. And I was trying to find, I didn't want to take a dollar stop in it, basically. So I really cheated the entry. So I cost myself a one hour loss in there. It was unnecessary, but it would have been worth it in the end. It's, it's not even going to matter now. It really is not even going to matter because this target is massive today. And this didn't really break through the low yet. It's not going to go over the high and it's, it's going to work. All right. So let's just see here. I don't know if I get it back up here in the 60s or the 50s. Let's see. Stop still has to be the same though. Six. No, I'm not going to take any more unless it backs up in the 50s. And it may not. If it does, I'm going to try to get some more in here. 68, 15, still the stop though. You're taking more risk. And don't do this. If you don't know what you're doing or can't take the risk. Again, all of this is aggressive. Just wait till the spark closes. I'm 42. Maybe we can find a place to lower the stop. Let's not give up hope. Hold on. Oh my gosh. The original stop held within two cents. I thought it was 06. This bar was 06. This bar was 07. I moved it then to, or 08. I moved it then to 15. But look at that. How's that for exactness? All right. So the market's red, which is fine with me. Here, JC Penney, if you want to short it again, I'm not going to. The move was the first one. Stop is 850. 20 cents to scalp it down. Couldn't it break eight? Yeah. Yeah, I guess it could. I guess it could. It was 780 is the next target. But this was the one. And I called it. Raker did JC Penney. You're still in it. You're not really still in it, are you? It went to the target. It went immediately to the target, Moon Raker. Tell me you're not still in that. I wrote the numbers in the room for the target. That was it. And I'm not sure if it goes back down to the low, but I'm just saying. All right. Let's see what this number is here now. 6673. 6676. You've got to be kidding me here. Look at this again. I'm not talking, so I don't jinx myself. This is still going to go on to work, but this is very wippy, which I kind of do remember about this. I mean, the price point here is sixty-some dollars. You know, at one point it was up near the 80s. This is just how these kind of stocks trade. And we don't normally trade stuff this expensive, but the gap was good. JC Penney, you should have already done, and you should have been all out of it. If you do it again, you're scalping it. And if you did it the first time, there would be no reason to do it again. And actually, if I had done JC Penney, I might have not done anything else, because this really might be done in here. Because that was the move, and it went to the target.  But I didn't do that first one in there, even though I called it. I had time to do it. The stock doesn't move that fast even. It's not like JC Penney is wippy like this. Okay, here we go. KSS. You could take more here if you want it, but I really can't lower the stop. It just retests to the high there again. I can't, I can't lower it. So I'm in and it's going to go into work. It's just taking a little time in here. Very whipping. We're doing everything right though. I mean, we're really doing everything right and I hope you followed me today. I don't think this gets the momentum until, I do think this gets momentum actually under the low. I don't say that about everything, but that's when it's going to start to turn red and it's selling to really come in. So that number is 6675-ish. And this was not easy today. And this really didn't trigger. I jumped the gun on this because I thought it was going to hit. And I was trying to find something that wasn't going to be a Jaimunga stop. In the end, it's not going to matter. Who held DD yesterday and got the move in it? Besides me, anyone? Hopefully everyone. That's why you got to have conviction. And look at the conviction on this. Traders were trying to buy this today. They were trying to buy the double bottom and buy it for a Gapville and it's a short. I told you it was the best Gap today. It's going to work. Look at this. Here we go. I am good. I am great. Go KSS! Under 6675 and traders are going to buy this today as a Gapville and it is a short. And it was the best Gap today and I told you and this sucker is going to rock and roll. 64, just go. Boom! 948 and I have things to do. So do it! See what DD is doing? DD, come on, come on. Okay, JC Penney and the second call is working. But you got to watch Shalil. If it doesn't break 8, just get out there at the bottom. The best call though was the first one. And here we go! Typical, typical, typical, typical, typical. Here, 10 o'clock. 10 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 10 o'clock, 10 o'clock. Do your best to hold as much as you can until 10 o'clock. You got 12 minutes. It's forever. As far as the morning goes. You got to get some readiness. It hasn't even barely started. Same problems with the mic. I'm not even going to have time to meet with the people until Friday. You'll have to live with it. You can hear me, can't you? There's nothing I can do. Dave is like, KSS was insane. What do you mean insane? Insane meaning you thought it wasn't going to work or what do you mean insane? I can turn the mic off.  If you're having a conniption, take some off here. For those of you that like to piece mail out, I'm not getting out of any of it. Just FYI.  Then take some out. I'm letting you know here. And that retest of the high was a confirmation here that this is going to go. And it did it more than once. I mean it did it like three times. And look, I think it's Dave, what Dave meant by insanity. Now that's conviction. Did you hold it? Yes. Discipline did take some off here and he had the conviction. I had a lot of conviction in this today. But I worked so hard this morning trying to look at all the gaps to make sure I didn't miss anything. Why? I was looking for something easy. I knew this wasn't going to be easy. I knew the gap was good but I knew it wasn't going to be easy because I knew it was going to have a big stop. I remembered it was whippy and I knew it could be spreading and I just knew. I knew and I was trying to find something easy because there were so many things to do. And I just wanted to make sure that I didn't miss anything. I called the best two things. Nothing else worked. I called the only two things that even worked. It didn't work at all. Worked.   Actually it looks like nothing was easy today. Actually looking at everything, JC Penney was the easiest one in the first trade I called. And I just didn't do it because I was too focused on this. And I didn't want to miss it. Here! Here! That's what I'm talking about people. 952. 952. Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop. Here it. We got it. 10 o'clock. Do I want to get out of the whole thing or do I want to hold it? No talking. This is such a good call. I have no words for myself. I'm really patting myself in the back today with this because this was so stinking hard. Some days I don't know how to do it.  I don't know how I do it. I really don't. I don't think this is easy. This is, it's easy a lot of days for me but this was hard today. Market sign up like a long at 10 o'clock. And a gap that I thought would run immediately but new would run at some point. I've taken a long time to get over the high. Just going to blow what it does. But we are holding, holding, holding. We held yesterday even though we were red. We held the day before even though we gapped down. Every day we even do anything that's red or drop or gapped down or do anything every moment that the market trades. It's the most bullish thing that exists right now. Except for Netflix. DGLY you tried to do but couldn't get filled. I didn't try to do that. Okay one more break through the low here. Between now and 10.15 I'm just going to take the whole thing. Because I have things to do today. But like I said, and I don't know where it's going to go. But it'll at least get to 66 and 65 something. But to get it all the way down to 64 you may have to hold this. Put it into lunch or after 11 o'clock. If you have time to do that today it's definitely worth your while. I just don't. And actually if you did JCPenney and this you could have just taken this all out in there. And you could have had just two great trades right in there. You could have done JCPenney twice and this one trade in there and just got all out. And you could have a huge massive day. I want to try to hold everything I count in this. If this goes to 65 this morning I'm really going to scream. I just made your day. Why don't you do it? Here's another idea for those of you. You could put the stop at break even. You could put the stop at break even if you want for this. You want to try to hold it. It's going to break the low. But if you want to try to hold it put the stop for the rest of break even. Get out of half the stop for the rest of break even. I'm just giving you ideas. I don't have to be patient for milliseconds in the morning. I don't think I have. It's hilarious actually. I'm so impatient. These seconds, these milliseconds that we're trading they feel like weeks. Not really because but it's pretty hilarious actually.  So that's why we got to do it. And there's nothing wrong with this. There's nothing wrong with this and it never did anything wrong. And it looked like it was going to but I never said it was. And I never said it was. And then I even gave it more room and the original stop would have held. And it did! Mae Jack is saying patience has been one of the best lessons for you being in the room. Good for you. Obviously you needed it. Didi was a good lesson yesterday. Absolutely. You're invested in the trade. You liked it for a reason. You had the conviction. You have to let it play out. Here we go. New low on KSS under the number. I think it's 30. 31. Yeah I mean I like to get out in the morning. It's just I really really do. And even you know I do like to get out in the morning. And actually having things to do in the afternoon it helps me. The only issue has been like me having to get ready. If I have to leave like the house at a certain time and I'm not dressed. And I've been lately but I had trouble getting out of bed this morning. 72. 10 o'clock. Here we want to break the law at 10 o'clock 20 cents. It's nothing. Come on. Just do it. Time of the day is 9.59 if my clock is even right which I don't even know.  I mean you're up a dollar here. You're up a dollar here. You're up more than a dollar down in there. You get out of some of this right in here if you want to. You can. You can do it if you want to.  I'm not but you're good. I don't know how you're doing your money management. Time of the day is 10. So we've hit on the 15 minute even. It's triggered on the bigger time frame. Let's look at the 30. So that's next. We got to wait for the 30 to hit. And 60. I don't think there's any more trades to be called in this. 10 thing to add more when it goes up. Yes except for I'm not changing the stop. So if you do where are you going to put it? Like there's no proper place to put it. That's the problem. And you can see how this is trading. It's very poot poot poot whippy. I shouldn't even say whippy. It's not whippy. It's jerky. It's fast. It's fast. Hey I'm not going to argue with fast. Fast is good if it's moving your direction. So I'm not going to complain. We can't complain at all. We can't complain at all. These things we've been getting them. We're doing well. I didn't do anything on Monday. I mean we're doing everything right. I really should just be doing all the things I'm calling though. Between today now and then was it yesterday or the other day? No it was the other day. It's like what? Which the hurts. It's going to break the low right in here now. Right between now and 10 and 10, 15. Which one did I have on the watch? Which one are you talking about? KSS was rated and watched. Put everything in the room was the first one. Yeah. But I had the information. It's up there if you scroll up. In fact let's see what I said about it. Here's the numbers I put.  Let me see where I did say the resistance was. I just want to see if that ended up. I think I would have had to redo everything by the time it opened. But let's just say here. Here it is. Wow here. This counts people. This counts. I got to tell you this counts. This counts as a whole. That counts. Of the least level of the resistance that I put in there. Look at that. This is perfect. Actually now that I just saw that, that gives me the confirmation 100% conviction this is going to 64 today. Look at that. Here. This is how you stay with it. This is how you stay with the trade. Listen to what I'm saying now. This is very important. I just double-tracked then the numbers I put in the room. Which I have here in my sheet. I can put this in my sheet. But anyways I just wanted to see what I put. Do you see that? The least level of resistance I put at hell. And therefore this is going to the target. And it did it very quickly despite the jerkiness of the original version. This is going to go. It is going. But I'm saying it's 64. It gets there. And I just don't know the time for that off I'll be in it or not. This will be a massive move from the entry. If you hold it to 64. Massive. You know this had the potential day to run. This is what I was looking for. A good one. Gotta be careful. Right. That counts Trader Gal. That's close enough. These are arias. Supporter resistance are arias. And so are targets. And in fact let's look at the first one now. Even say 66. So it should just break right on through 66. Yeah. Just let it break 66. Just gonna This is where we're at with DD yesterday. We're waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and we snoozed and snoozed. And here this goes. And DD 1-2. Here it goes. Someone's hammering about me. Gosh I traded this so well today. Which was Friday. Here we go. Here we go. KSS under 31. Let it drop. Here we go. Nice. Nice look to this chart now. Just let it go. Let it fall off the planet. Let it. It barely has even gotten going. It hasn't even moved yet. It's barely barely begun. You must try to get the maximum moves. What if we get up tomorrow and there's nothing?  Mark it long though. We usually get something on a Friday. But once again I like to be out quickly. Particularly on a Friday. You stinker. Look it didn't break 31 yet. You're out of JC Penney now? Just retested the low? Yep. I told you. It may not break that low. That was a massive move for that stock of the day. Massive to happen so quickly. Don't be a pig-ish. If you did that trade in there the second time around you're out. And even if it goes you're going to make 10 more cents. It's just not worth it. And if you rally back 10 cents to make 10 cents that doesn't make any sense.  You don't hold a trade and give back money. Like I'm holding this to make another $2. Do you understand the difference? I give back 50 cents in a rally to try to pull $2 more out of the trade. You don't hold JC Penney for 10 more cents to make an extra 15. That makes no sense. This is good. That's where I'm thinking in my head about money management. That's why I don't get out of a trade sometimes. And I'm only at one R. It's about that in my head that I'm thinking is this worth it? How badly do you want it? How badly do you want the money? Is this worth it? Sometimes I take a loss and I'm up in a trade. Who does that but me? But the reality is that I think if it's worth it and you see the ones we get. Here we go. KSS under 66. Hold on. Time of the day is here. I have to look at the market. No. Okay. I'm not paying attention. I have to stop talking here now. Market's going to rally. Let me just figure it out. Okay. Here's what I'm going to do. I'm just getting this ready here to take half out of this through one more drop. I don't want to, the market is going to rally. I'm just going to, I'm not out of any of this yet here, but just, I think this continues to break in here, but I just got to watch this now. It's going to keep going. But the speed of light. Someone short 100,000 shares so it falls up a planet. Time of the day is what? 10.08. Okay. Let's let this five minute bar close. Let's see what the high ends up being in that. Let's see what the high of the day ends up being in the five minute here. One more time. Do you want 10 cents to be a paycheck? You're funny. But you can get to that point once you up your size, but how can you do that unless you know what you're doing? And part of that is not only knowing the rating system is having the conviction. You see me. I'm a great example of that for you people. You see me do it day after day after day. You see me have conviction in trades then that end up failing and I take the loss. But look what happens and then after the fact, we reviewed this with the ones from the other day, the racks. I mean we don't have time today because I can't stay late, but we're going to go over that racks. There's a massive lesson to be learned there. The lesson is about conviction and you just cannot trade without it. You just cannot trade without it. It almost doesn't even matter if one day you have conviction and it happens to be wrong. You just take the loss and the one risk unit. Look at what happened today if you didn't have conviction and DD and a million other examples and we're up. I mean this thing moved more than a dollar but let's just try to pay attention here. I'm not letting the entire thing get over 50. Over 50 I'm going to pull out half. There I just took half out. There. I don't want to get over 50. Alright, let me just put the stop in back of the original place. I just booked half. I had it set up to do it. I just still put too much over 50. Let me just see if there's anywhere we could lower it. I'm still in half this though because it's going to break 66. I think we have time but let me just see here. It has to go back to the original place. 68-15. 68-15 and I just got out of half and that was the right thing to do. That was the right thing to do. Now it can be relaxed. So as I was saying, I only remember what I was saying. Does anyone have any questions? People on here are in a trial day of questions. Old people day of questions. New people questions. Does anyone have any questions? Anyone? Stop at 68-15 which is a thousand miles away in KSS and if you have to get going like now you could just take the whole thing. I did decide to get out of half there. I didn't want to see it bounce over 50. That was a good decision. This time here is 10-15 so we should hold in here and flip down around and drop in the next 15 minute bar but I think it's good. This moved more than a dollar. You got to get out of some here because it could push back up again and I'm just seeing the market of the markets bullish. It doesn't mean this isn't going to keep going if I thought that it wouldn't I would have gotten out of the whole thing but I think it benefits you to get out of some because that was a move but I really really really really really want to try to stay with at least the rest of the half to get it through the break because the target is really big. I just don't know if I'm going to be able to stay in it until then until I have to leave but I do have to get ready so I could leave the trade on while I'm doing my hair and makeup. What time will it hit 66? That's what you want to know? 10-32. Should we ask the Magic Ape Ball? Oh my gosh, remember? Here I don't have it at my desk. Oh my gosh I'm so disorganized right now. Hold on, I'm going to grab it in one second. Okay. Actually before we ask that let's actually ask if we're going to get an easy gap tomorrow. Are we going to get an easy bearish gap tomorrow from the market? Survey says good. Remember the last time we asked the Magic Ape Ball we got what we wanted? Yay. Let me look and see what's up for tomorrow. Hold on. Here this goes. It's going to break the low. I hope you're still in it. Here it goes. It's breaking the low right now. Beautiful. I'm just wondering exactly what I'm talking about. Here it was almost like the minute I walked away I just did it. It's going to do it. Hold on. It didn't quite yet. It's like pennies from Heaven 66-20. Alright. I should say pennies from Heaven, dollars from Heaven. Alright, let's see what's out for tonight. We have to make money like now. Alright, the ones for tonight. Amat maybe this has volume. Sign us out tonight. I don't know what this does. I mean I'll watch it for a gap down. You might have something good tonight. I think some of these are going to work out. This is a nice call to stay within here. Anyone else have any other questions? It did just touch down on 20. This is going to break 66 but you've got to try to hold it through that. I did the right thing about getting out of half. Time of the day here is still fine. 10.15 and the market I believe is going to make an attempt to get over the high. It still could do it today. It's just getting, it's grinding up. It came in, came in, came in, came in, came in and it's doing the grind. The spider really looks like it's going to make a new high today and I kept saying it for days. I said it last week and then I said it again this week and it really is going to. I mean it could happen today. I said that but even if it doesn't get over the high today it will tomorrow. I didn't give exact entries with this today for the long side but I said you could go along the market. I mean I just get up every day and say go along the market. There's no reason to even talk about it anymore actually. Just go along the market every day. So tonight we have three things. Let me just say here, I forgot what they are. I'll sign up and aim that. We broke it by a couple of cents and every time we do it's good. Funny that you mentioned that you changed your nickname and now the magic eight ball. Oh is that what that is? Why did you put 88 then? See I'm confused. Magic 88, that's what's going on. Why didn't you just put magic eight? Two eights there. I didn't know that was the eight ball.  Eight is a lucky number in the Chinese culture so double the luck. Oh double the luck. Eight is a magic. Is a lucky number in Chinese culture? I didn't know that. That's interesting to know. Something's going to happen to me in August too in the eighth month of this year. Eight is a lucky number. That's interesting to have to read about it online. There I go. Okay so that's for the eight ball. It's good. I like the name. And Trado Galamist, your name but I really think you need to change it to Dominatrix as we discussed yesterday. I think you need to do that next week. All right does anyone have any questions about anything here? Exactly for what you're doing.  And if you did JCPenney once or twice or 50 times, it doesn't matter. Here we go KSS. I said this would break 66 by 1032. Oh there I just heard that noise. Can you hear me? Or did I lose the internet? Oh my Lanta. Can everybody hear me? I just heard that pop again. I'm still live here though with my platform and everything. Can everybody hear me in the room? Can you hear me or not? Yes or no? Let me know if you can hear me. I can't reboot now though. I'm in this trade live and everything's fine with my platform and stuff. Just let me know if you can hear me or not. If not, there's nothing I can do right now. I can't hear. This is such a good call. I'm so glad I believe in myself. Even the days when it's hard. I always believe in myself. This is going to turn out to be a nice week here now. Let's just see where this goes. Did I just scream? Great call. Thank you discipline dude. Discipline dude are you still in it? I know you said you took out a sum. Did you hold some of it? I hope you did. I hope you did. You're going to trail into the two minute? That's fine too. Well 66 isn't the target. This is just what I wanted to see it do to get the target. This is going to get to the target now though. I mean I told you 64 but I think we get this down possibly another dollar here in the next 15-20 minutes. This is going. This is nice. Let me just look at the market. And all of this is happening. And all of this is going on. And everything is happening with this while that is doing that. I mean this is just so good. Yep. Let's milk it. Milk it. Milk it. Milk it. Let me just look at that. Jaguar Pog Ray Comalist you're holding your position watching it closely bar by bar. Look at where this went. Jeez Louise 4340. Three dollars in the day yesterday on this sucker. You got to be kidding me. My Lanta. All right. This is it. This is it. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Jaguar Pog Ray was such a nice email you wrote me. It was such a nice email. It was such a nice email you wrote me actually sent it to someone. That was just so nice. Thank you so much. In fact I'm going to put it on the website. Here we go. SSN 75 and 70. 60, 50, 40. Everything go. Time of the day is 10-23. Don't you dare. Don't you dare. Okay now is where it gets sticky. I know it's going to keep going now. I know it's just going to keep going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going. Nice selling action in this now. And what you have now. Let's go over this. What you have now is that people are trying to go long and aren't trying to go long anymore. Now in the morning there were people that went long this. Traders went long this. It was the wrong thing to do but they bought it as a gap fill and it is a strong stock but it wasn't ever a buy. But you had traders buying it a couple different places in there in the morning okay. But the reality was that you don't anymore. No one even that's a trader is trying to buy this anymore. They're all stopped out and they're not going to buy it again. They'll see that it's a failure. So you should have straight selling in this now but you will have some short covering that will make the occasional green bar. I don't think this sets up right again to short at all today though. Unless it's like 2 o'clock in the afternoon in a 15-minute chart. So it's up to you if you want to take it all in here now. This is a beautiful, beautiful, beautiful move. But it is underway but it is going but you don't have to take a time when people are going long anymore. You keep splitting up when you have left. That's fine. The only problem is trader guy this is why you don't have the big days that you want to. So then when something doesn't work you're down the full 1R and then when something does work and goes really good like DD or this you don't get the maximum move of the stock with your position. So that's the thing or even has these of it. So that's I don't have a solution for you for that. Unless you're going to get out of every trade that goes 1R I don't know. I don't know. You got to figure that out. But that is why you're not seeing more money and then when the days they don't work you are down the 1R of the day of the loss of the 1. So I don't know what to tell you with that. You get the majority out at 1R but here's the thing here. This was more than 1R and there was no reason to get out of any of this at all until in here which was more than 1R. I don't even know why you got out of any of this at all until here. This would have been a valid place to exit half the position here. Time of the day, placement not breaking through yet so you came down in here and then it didn't really push the break this is valid to take it here. You could have taken the whole thing here. I couldn't have faulted you for taking the entire trade off here. This is $1.30, $1.40, wherever you got filled. If you took the whole trade off here you could have done that. We have to pay attention here now. Alright so the low here is 80, this is 83 Did I repost as everything came from the heart? Thank you. Those are the best things. Alright so what I would like to see happen is coals to go back down and break through the low while I'm getting ready for my meeting and if it doesn't then it doesn't but I still think it does. You could have gotten out of the whole thing down in there really at 6580 but that wasn't a number anywhere. This is bouncing back though now into $10.30. I got out of half of it a while back. Otherwise I probably would have just taken the whole thing down in there. But this isn't done for the day. How am I going to manage this now that I have to leave? Let's just say I still have time. Okay does anyone have any questions? I put the list of things in the room for the watches for tonight. I really don't have 100% conviction in any of the watches for tonight to actually gap down. So you have to just wait and see what we get tomorrow. I'd like to get a good one tomorrow. It would be great if we do. JC Penney really was the fastest, quickest play today. And look it didn't ever break eight. So I hope if you did the second trade I called you scalped out of it. That was the right thing to do. Maybe this sets up in the 15 minute chart and later breaks eight today. But I don't even have 100% conviction that happens because the market's very bullish. The first short was the best in the morning right out of the gate. And then the second call I made target was eight. That was too big of a move, too fast for that stock to go again any harder on the day. I think the stock is played out here today. This is just exhausted now. It's total exhaustion. Look at the volume in it even. It's just, it's tired. The market is higher. I'm not sure if we get over the high today or not. It's 10.30. We still could. If we retest to 12 or 2.13 we could blow over the high. Or we close, rallying into the close into four o'clock and then gap up after hours and into tomorrow. No big names out tonight though. So I, I think we just train here today. Hold bullishly. Possibly run up over the high tomorrow and a Friday into the weekend. We could just do that. And the key is could run a little bit more today here. Up to 109.50, 109.75 ish, 110. You don't have any shorts being stopped out yet. All the people that's short of the market. All the people that's short of the market in the world. Look at how many people there were in this. That shorted this and came in, made a lower high. And a lower low. And another lower high. And another lower low. And all of these things are happening and the market's ready over this area here. But you don't have shorts killing their, their short position yet. And I don't even think you do until over 111, 112 in the queues and 113 in the spy and look for the blow to happen.  Okay, here now let's see. We really could have gotten, this really was almost $2 in here. I just realized that now. This really was almost $2 in here. I just realized that now. It's just was moving so fast. It's hard. I'm talking. I'm looking. I'm talking. I'm thinking. I'm talking. I'm looking. It's a lot going on. Jaguar probably is, it still goes lower. So do I or I just take it. But I just see what happens. I just see we actually, that was just almost $2. So maybe we should have just taken it, but it's still lower and it is going to break the low and it did already break 66 and but if you have to go, you should have gotten out of the low. You have to go somewhere. Now we have to wait for the whole 15 minutes to trade out. I have to get ready anyways. All right, any questions from anyone? It was a nice morning. We had to wait. We were patient though. I jumped the gun on this. It really would have been worth it. Didn't even matter in the end. Do you see here how people try to buy it? They bought it over the high. They bought a one minute high on this thinking it would do a gap fill. It's exactly what happened in here. Such a nice play I just called. And this happened and we had to stop at the right place. And this happened and we had to stop at the right place. And this happened and it kept this in within two cents. And then this happened and then people added to the long that they were already in and look where it broke. Such a nice call. A call of reading what the institutions were going to do in the day because traders bought the stock on the day and they lost. It was not a long it was a short. And I read in the gap reading that the institutional money would sell out of it today. But the chart in this is strong. This didn't break anything here. KSS fell today and it was a short today but not in the long term. Okay. So just to review nice short here in KSS. I do like it today short or I wouldn't have taken it. But in the longer term picture this is not lower. This is a strong strong stock that just so happened to get that gap down today. This does not break this chart. This chart is still in an uptrend. There's really nothing wrong within here. So we shorted this today but in the long term I must be clear. The stock is still in an uptrend and you can't be in this short overnight. And it's a strong chart. The market's just very bullish. Do I believe this will be a good continuation gap? If it gets to 64 today the answer is no. If it doesn't the answer is yes for one more day down. But quite frankly I really wouldn't be overnight this given the strength of the chart and the market. And I'm telling you the market makes a new high between tomorrow and Monday. I know this is because it looks like it's dollars away but in my mind it looks like pennies. I know this is like it looks like dollars away. This is a dollar it looks like dollars away. It's $1.50 in the spy and the QQQ's to make a new high over $1.11 is $2. But to me it's pennies. It looks like pennies. To me the way when I look at this here just pretend you're in my mind which you can't be and no one can.  This looks like it could happen in any second. Like any second buying can come in this could happen in 60 seconds or less. It could happen in 45 seconds the market get it over the high. And don't think it can't do it. It could happen in a bar like this it just goes immediately over it and blows. I'm telling you I see it it's going to happen. I see it. I've been seeing it for months and months and weeks and days and hours and months. And when I look at this this looks like it's pennies from doing it. It looks like it's less than a penny away and could happen in a millisecond. That's the strength I see in this market. I mean it's almost unreal. It's surreal. It's almost unreal. I have to come up with a name for the bullishness in this market and I have yet to do it. And yes here we go. Oh my lanta. Okay this is it for me. One more break through the loam all out of the KSS. And in fact what we could do is lower the stop. Shall we? Yes. Let's not argue with fate. 5 and 16. Time of the day is 10.34ish. Let's wait for the 5 minute bar to close. I'm not going to add anything here yet. I'm saying I'm trying to figure something out here that I could lower the stop for myself because of the fact that I have to leave somewhere in the next two hours maximum. So I am going to lower the stop in this. But if you want to play it through all day just keep it at 16, 15 or put it at break even. Put it at break even. You want to be in all day and put it at break even. I didn't find a place to lower this. I didn't do it yet. I just want to wait like a smidgen here. I was trying to think of the best place we could do it. It really is here though I think. Like if I think of it rallies over here it's not that it's not lower in the day but basically it is in the like it would take like a while to reset up today. Like it would be on the 15 minute to set up. Like it wouldn't reset up quick then. Let's just wait a little bit more here. It's still lower. Down is it a 52 week high? Alright that's good to know. I haven't looked at this in a hundred years. When does Hog have earnings quick? Look it up. When's the next earnings on Hog?  Something must have happened here. It didn't gap. It just opened and fell out of the sky. Well something must have happened here. It actually did technically gap but it didn't have any pre-market volume so you wouldn't have known it was gapping. It just opened and fell off the planet and the vine came in here. I mean you would have never known to get this. You could have done this though. I looked it up in the scanner. I mean even this was a dollar. Does something happen with this today? Can you look it up and see if it was news or something? It had like one tick right before 9.30 like a 9.27. That's a waste of a nice short move in there but there's no way you could have gotten it unless you saw it in the scanner later. 4.21. Worthy earnings? Alright then this already had the earnings. Interesting. No reason you can find on that. Oh that's interesting. Okay so here's the plan of action. Once this breaks 30, which it should soon, I'm going to put the stop at this at 75 and that's plenty. That'll take care of any little jiggies or whatever. 66.75. After breaks 30. That's my plan of action. And then anywhere through the low, before I have to go I'll take it out. Whether it gets down to 65 or the next number. This will get to 60.40 though. Unless this happens quickly I mean I'll get it. This is such a good call. Here it goes. Here let's throw the stop right now. Lower it. Boom. Boom. Okay great job everyone today. Does anyone have any questions? We've been solid this week is a break. Let's just keep doing it. Don't know what we'll get tomorrow. No idea that I get up in the morning. I may or may not look at stuff tonight. Sometimes I need a 24 hour break of looking at charts. Remember I said the time it would hit 66 I said before 10.32. It did. It actually broke. I said before 10.32. It broke it around 10.21. 66.75. You should lower your stop too if you want to stay in this. If you're still in this.  Target? Did Target even gap today? I only do gaps a second time. I'll look at that in a minute. Target did gap today. I didn't see anything in this morning about this. I didn't even see it anywhere. Oh here this is why. Something must have happened here. I don't know why this did this. This gap did 9.15 So I didn't do anything with it. It just gaped right before the open. Very similar to Hogg except for this actually had volume at 9.15. But I didn't go back and re-look for new stuff at 9.15. Let's see if this actually set up right. Let me look.  This is really crappy. I didn't do it obviously. I did the best thing. And J.C. Penney was the second best. I mean J.C. Penney and the calls I made today were the best. This was nowhere near any good from the calls that I made. This is very crappy looking. I'm not sure how the gap would have rated quite frankly. But you could have rated it. You had 15 minutes to do it and then figure out what you were going to do with it with the numbers. But to be honest with you here this was very very hard. Very very hard. It did have the move. You had to catch it at the right place with the right stop and get out exactly.  I don't see it happening. Market is crazy strong. I'm not crazy about the gap. I didn't rate it. I'm not going to go back and do it now because I'm done for the day soon out of the KSS. But don't think this is falling off the planet. The prize of this flips. This is not going to follow through. There's nothing in here that I even like bearish. And if you short it, it should be all around. This is bearish at least for the short term. It's going to break 66 any second now. You wanted it to happen. Trader Gal, you're getting your dream. Great day everyone. I mean really nice and good practice for those of you that held the D.D. and again with this one too. You're getting practice here this starting season. Very, very nice. And you could have done two things today again. And great job Moonraker for doing the JCPenney. I don't know if you did it once or twice. I don't know if anybody else even did it, but Moonraker did it. If you're going to move the stop, I say 30. Don't let it get over 30. 25 is nothing. Here it's going to ding you out right now. Make it 30 something. 32. If you really want to be tight. I wouldn't be any tighter than that. Any questions from anyone? If not, I'm going to let everybody go. I have to get ready. I'm still in this, but I lowered the stop. But I have to keep checking it. Let's just see what happens here with this. And it's good no matter what it does. I mean you can't lose in this now. You couldn't lose in it since it stayed with itself. And again a beautiful call because traders tried to buy this today. This was such a good call. We'll go over it later when we have time. Nothing Monday will go over it. I'm sure we'll have something tomorrow. I do want to have a lecture on racks. I just don't know when we're going to do that. The next day we have nothing. I'll talk about racks. This is this weekend for any new people that want to sign up. Deadline to sign up is tomorrow.
