Okay, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the webinar. We are in Jan 3rd of 2017. So this is actually quite an ideal time to just look at what's going on, where we are from various angles and that's the problem with the markets is that you have to look at it from various angles and that basically anything that will impact the financial markets and nowadays it looks like anything pretty much planned. So and especially this year because there's lots of stuff going on. Why is 2017 in my mind by the way and this has to be a disclaimer, this is my opinion. It's not corroborated by anybody, it's not been consulted, verified, checked off, nothing. So that is my disclaimer and it is actually on the page that we are going to go see and I'll point it out there as well. So it's only my opinion. So why is my opinion great or anything, it's not. I mean everybody is going to have an opinion, even the professional analysts are going to have an opinion but does that mean that they're going to be right? No, absolutely not. Nobody is going to be right and that's really the beauty of the markets is that not one person is going to be right. I mean they might be right on one thing but they'll be wrong on something else because and that's why even technical analysis, see it's a study of crowd behavior and it becomes so important in situations like this because everybody is looking at each other and wondering okay what's going to happen this year and nobody wants to take the first move. So but when somebody comes in, some big players come in and start putting in big money into something, the rest will follow. I mean that's just crowd behavior and technical analysis basically its fundamental premise is that crowds behave in predictable matters which is very true. So it's a great, there is a lot of opportunity in this year but first I want to wish everybody a happy new year, happy 2017 and your families as well and 2017 is actually a pivotal year in my opinion again and so but this is the year we've got to break out. This is the year you've got to break out because there is a lot of uncertainty coming up and so if you wanted to, we've all invested a lot of time, money, resources, whatever you want to call it and it has to pay back sometime and I'm saying that we need to get that payback this year and with a little urgency. So that's what this webinar is going to be and of course there's also going to be another one and basically what I just said is your option tiger is being reinvented with a little, like I said, a sense of urgency. It's not panic, it's not fear but it's just a sense of urgency that we've got to do it now and if I can get this stupid quick style out of my way, I would be doing well and I have no idea how to do that. Okay, let's not worry about it. Maybe I can push the window out. Okay, all right guys, let's just move on, you know, small thing. Okay, so I think pretty much everybody knows, I mean, well not everybody of course, people who just joined option tiger in the last few months may not have heard from me live. That's because I have been, I've had some issues on my end and so I've been sort of out of the loop but one thing I figured was my pictures are getting stale there because it's many years old so I decided to change it. This is my current look and so, you know, just to have something different there, we are of course option tiger 2.0 and that means, you know, got to have a different picture there but, you know, I've been an options trader for 10 years and so I also have a couple of e-books and I do mentoring as well on Udemy. Of course, I'm a best-selling educator in the finance and trading space. I have a bachelor's degree in engineering from India and an MBA from Columbia Business School and as well as London. So now, let's get going because, you know, there is like I said, there's a sense of urgency this year and we've got to do something about it. Okay, you can't just simply sit back and let things happen because that's not going to be healthy. I mean, okay, if you're not invested in the market at all, then that's fine but if there is risk, there is also reward. Remember that people only think like, oh, I mean, the other way around but it's not when there is risk, there is reward. Think of John Paulson 2008, right? I think many people must know him. He made $4 billion from the housing crisis. Okay, John Paulson and so did many others and so what we're saying is there is opportunity here. We have to be vigilant and we have to be able to identify when those opportunities may come and what are the sort of indicators that something is going to happen along these lines? Okay, because nobody knows what is going to happen. Let me tell you that crystal clear, no analyst knows that CEO of Goldman Sachs does not know. Okay, I mean, that's just the fact of it.  It's completely out of everybody's hands. And so let's take a look at what those are. If you've been watching or just having a finger on the pulse on the news earlier, just, you know, very tertiary look at the news, you'll see that, you know, there is something going on. There is something going on, you know, global threats are coming from all directions. There's talk of new world orders being, you know, birthed right now. There are uncertainty amongst, you know, in the leaders themselves, superpower conflicts, trade wars and recent elections in the US, UK and Italy clearly show that, you know, people's sentiments are changing. Okay, there's something going on. We still don't have a finger on it, but there is something going on. Now, the games that the feral reserve play and, you know, the artificial market levels and the artificial levels of stocks, they've been out of control for the last few years, in fact, after the crisis. And today, I mean, they've always been very high. And today it's a peak. So, which means what? If you're already at your peak, you're borrowed up to your neck and frankly, you know, the federal reserve, if you look at it, if the federal reserve was just an ordinary customer, they would be declared bankrupt. There's no question about it. Okay.  Debt to asset ratio of, you know, 35%, 40% maximum.  I mean, that's the situation we are in. But the Fed, believe it or not, they have 98% debt and 2% assets. Okay. So that's how bad the situation is. And that's been going on for a while. Artificial market levels, what do I mean? I mean, it's not that there is a conspiracy or anything, but by simply by keeping interest rates at zero, boomers, baby boomers and retirees, what are they going to do with that? I mean, they're a very wealthy money class. Okay, let's, you know, let's face that. What are they going to do with their money if they're going to get 0%. So they're automatically, not forcibly, but they're automatically channeled into the stock market. And that's what has been going on. It's been the stock market's been rising and it's just going out of control. As far as the stock market is concerned, you know, they say 12 million jobs. And with all these financial numbers, you've got to understand the numbers that you see on TV and on headlines is not the real numbers. Okay. So just in America right now, we have, yes, Obama can claim he created 12 million jobs. And by the way, you know, none of this is political from my side. Okay. I'm just looking at it from an economic, from a business perspective. So it's not a political statement at all. Obama can claim that he created 12 million jobs. But who did the Excel manipulate, I mean, not manipulation, who did the Excel calculations and, you know, looked at various segments of the population. Where were the jobs created? Where were the jobs lost?  There's no real, you know, beyond the basic skills, there's really nothing involved over there. So we are eroding value. So that's the problem. Second problem is let's make no bones about it. We are indebted like crazy, 20 trillion or not by now, it's probably 22. So all these factors are converging in some sense, you can feel it, you know, the tensions between Russia and us, which is, you know, absolutely dangerous. And not just Russia and us, I mean, this China, there's all these guys, North Korea, Iran, I mean, there's plenty of players around the world who now believe that they are strong and powerful to, you know, oppose any, any world power. I mean, you know, in a way that's good, but the problem is some of these are very rogue states with rogue leaders. Okay.  Okay. Why? Why is it going berserk? Anybody? Anybody? And we can't even chat now. That's horrible. It's terrible. Anyway, so I'll have to move on.  Why? Because Jan 20th or whatever, Mr. Trump comes into the White House. I mean, White House. So the point is not that, you know, we have to be against him or, you know, again, it's not political, but he is, let's face it, he's pretty unpredictable guy.  So that is a big scare. And not just for the US in the rest of the world is even more scared of Mr. Trump. So, you know, that's the big thing coming up in January itself. So, if you look at your normal indicators to see what's going on and, you know, how would you determine what is, what is the overall general high level risk in the market, you know, people generally go to the VIX, and I'm going to be, you know, there are some things I want to do today, which is, you know, show the real deal. Okay.  So what I mean is, like if you go to the CBOE, and, you know, why CBOE? Let's just go to think faster. So I'll open that in a bit. But if you go to CBOE, you'll see that, you know, they'll give you nicely all the right slash trade VIX. Okay. Let's see that. Okay. So here, they're giving you a VIX level of 12.85 that must be at close of market today. Okay. 12.85 and it reduced by 1.19.  I wasn't checking at all today. But I mean, this is crazy 12.85. I mean, it's pretty much at its lowest level. Would you think that the VIX would be at this level when there is a lot of these uncertainties that are just looming over here, you know? So the VIX is just not a reflector of volatility. It may be a reflector of fear because when put options are bought, that's when the VIX goes up, which by itself is a completely flawed approach. Why would the VIX is supposed to be a volatility index, which means it should react to up movements and down movements fairly, you know, equally, right? But it doesn't. It is based on the demand for put options. Clear. Calls are not even mentioned in, you know, into the calculations of the VIX. So that by itself tells you it's not a volatility index. It's just a fear index because whenever people buy puts, people are scared. So that's what it is. So, you know, right there, you can see that, you know, this is not, I mean, we're not really getting, you know, honest data from the market in many ways. This is just one way. I mean, just want to point out this because people say, oh, VIX is at 12, you know, come on, forget it, nothing's going to happen, right? You know, it's just crazy to me. Now, let's, I think they have a three month and if you go into the details of the VIX, let's see VIX futures is what we want. Okay. So because the VIX is calculated from VIX futures. So that way it's a different kind of derivative. So here, if you see the VIX, they'll give you three months, yeah, right there. Okay, 01, 02 or whatever, the current VIX is here. And then the next three, I believe are quarters. Okay, so this would be the end of the first quarter, second quarter, third quarter, which will run into the end of the year. So the VIX futures are the VIX index rather is calculated based upon the underlying asset, which is the VIX futures. So what is VIX futures telling us here? You know, that current level is this next month, it's going to be, I mean, next quarter is going to be this, then after that is going to be that. And the final quarter is going to be 13.82. I mean, are you kidding me?  We're going to see the VIX shoot up, you know, to 20 and 25 and 30. When one of these, you see, and today it doesn't need a whole lot to sort of, you know, put the entire world in some sort of, you know, instable condition. Okay, yeah, it really doesn't take that much at all.  You know, you think the VIX is going to be between 12 and 30 or may say, say 14, it's 13.82, 12 and 14 all year.  It's not going to happen. So my thesis is, and I've been looking at this for the past month to month and a half, when we had some time, I don't think we should go by the VIX at all. I mean, VIX says nothing. Okay, the VIX says nothing. So we have to look for other indicators. And I believe, I was talking to a finance guy over the holidays. And I believe what the professionals are looking at is something called a, oh my God, it's full. What do you mean it's full? I have 500, right? I don't know. Anyway, we'll deal with that later. 51, what the hell? Okay, I'll have to check that out. But basically, the finance guy is telling me that today, the volatility by the professionals is calculated by, damn, what is it? Jesus Christ. Okay, the volatility is calculated by, I'm just going to shorten it up, by this, the spread between the exchange rates of all the major, damn, I just told you no, okay, of all the major currencies of the world. Now, this makes sense to me. I mean, he said that I was like, why didn't, why doesn't somebody do this all the time? Because that's really what, where the risk is being demonstrated or it's being displayed rather. This is great between the major currencies. So, because when risk comes on, what happens?  I mean, I for one, do not look at the spread off between the exchange rates of all the major currencies. I definitely do not. But once he said that, it makes a lot of sense. Because the first thing, and the real true thing that measures the fear or the uncertainty or any kind of negative events happening is first reflected by foreign exchange rates. So, who's a safe haven? Who's not? Where should I move money from? To where? These are the questions that are being asked immediately when there is a sense of fear in the market. He's saying this parameter, the spread between the exchange rates and there's various relationships between one and another. So, it's all very complex in the forex market. I'm not going to go into that.  That is as of the end of the 2016. These spreads are at a very, very high level, which means that the people who are playing market maker to those, they know there is risk there and that's why the bid has spread is so wide. So, that's a true indicator of risk. So, these kind of things are happening. Let's not even talk about manipulation in terms of interest rates and inflation. Forget about it. It's been manipulated from many, many years already. So, the thing is, ultimately, when would the system break down? I mean, because really, I mean, there are forces that can make it break down like we saw in 2008, but this time it's going to be even bigger, like five, ten times bigger. So, what is it that will cause the entire pyramid to start collapsing? There is only one thing and that is the trust that investors domestic plus foreign plus institutional plus bond markets, which is the most important. So, in the bond markets, all investors, if they stop buying US bonds, for example, we are in deep trouble because we have to literally roll over our debt pretty much every month. What every month, every week, something is expiring and new thing will start. So, but if that money doesn't come in, I mean, we are running what? We are running a national debt of 20 trillion and perhaps a budget deficit each year of maybe 1 or 2 trillion, I think. I don't know the exact number, but that money has to come from somewhere and right now, it's coming from foreign investors. So, basically, what it's telling us is that the entire world is placing their trust that the US will not go down. And I say that's a very flawed thinking, but the way the world stands right now is that if the US goes down, everything is going down. All markets are going down because everybody is dependent on the US markets for something or the other, whether it's goods, services, automobiles, whatever it is. And that's why I feel all these major countries like Japan and China who's got plenty of money invested in the US, they know that they cannot let the US go down. And so right now, even though the US might be considered to be the most bankrupt person out there, but investors are still trusting. Why? Why?  So, they have no outlet. And not only that, just from a leadership point of view, from a technology, from a human progress point of view, no other country can really kind of do the kind of thinking that has taken us this far in the last 150 years. And therefore, they're not confident anybody can do it. And so what do they do? Make sure that the US doesn't go down. Of course, like I said, this is all my opinion and my way of thinking about why not and all that kind of stuff. So to sort of summarize this whole part of it is that there is risk out there. Let's not make it, let's not think that's not the case. There is plenty of risk. And for this thing to show 12.85 is just completely ridiculous. So, we have to have our own methods. Okay, now in 2017, because there are various, like I said, catalysts you might call like Trump coming in and something else happening. I mean, Putin is of course, he's roaming around the world like he owns it, which I think he does at this point. But things are happening. Things are happening at a lower level where the masses cannot actually see it. But when it starts coming out in the open, there's going to be some price to pay. And besides, in the US now, we cannot do any more quantitative easing or who are we going to take money from? We'll have to go to Mars or something, because once the general population of the world loses their confidence and their trust in the US government or in the US, well, it is the US government because they're loaning their money to the US government. But in general, if they're not confident that the United States can pull itself out with a decent amount of, with not a lot of damage, then we can pull through. We can pull through. We meaning like the entire world. But if the United States cannot pull through, oh boy, now you're looking at some serious stuff. Now, obviously, this is all like worst case scenario, whatever you might want to call it. But if you don't see this, especially given that Trump is coming, I mean, more and more like, very controversial people are leading some huge countries. So this is going to become a problem as we go along. Anybody that took my, what is that, the macro finance, basically, I just give a high level overview, in that I made those courses in 2012, right? I mean, that's like almost four, five years ago now. And in that, I said also, hey, the US is a profligate spender, at one point, you're going to have to pay the price, pay this price. And over the years, I've received mails from many people, hey, your bond trade is not going well. I said, no, of course not. It is going well because I also showed you, I also told you that it's going to take time. We don't know how much time actually. And until then, in the bond trade, actually, you'll be in a three-digit profit margin because I showed you the way to recover bits and pieces all through all the time as long as that bond market is still functioning. So interest rates are zero. Can it go any lower? I mean, they can do some manipulation with mortgage securities or subprime for cars or whatever, but those are all very small amounts. So we are right there on the limit. We really cannot do much anymore. And again, not a political statement, but anything that comes up in front of a Republican House, a Republican Senate and a Republican president is never going to, I mean, whatever the Democrats propose, I mean, Hillary Clinton went around saying $5 trillion for infrastructure. Yes, where are you going to get the money from? She did not have an answer. Nobody has an answer for these things because we have borrowed to the Hilt. All right, I'm not going to play that anymore. Let's move on. So I feel that because of some changes in the world happening, especially like Donald Trump coming into power, we may be looking at a very, very, what looks like not a whole lot of risk, but it could spiral anytime. So that was my point with that slide on Snagit. Situation can spiral out of control quickly. So we always have to be, now in 2017, we need to watch for this. Now there is also a flip side. By some miraculous turn of events, if Putin backs down or become the US and Russia become more friendly, who knows?  Regardless, I'm not looking at any of that, but perhaps this guy, I mean, one thing you have to understand is, I mean, we all have to understand, he's very smart. I mean, no one person can pull this kind of a game. He demolished the Republicans and then the Democrats. I mean, unbelievable. Then he did it all alone. So this guy has something in him. But so if he uses it to good purposes and perhaps brings about some kind of stalemate at the very least with Russia and China, but China is totally against. So we don't know how this is all going to play out. And granted, nothing is going to play out this week or next week or even perhaps by the end of the year. But these are things in the background that can potentially impact everything, not just financial markets, of course, they're going to impact.  Let me say it is going to be impacted, but it can be impacted if things go down that path. And 2017 is I think that there has to be some resolution to all this stuff going on with nobody caring about the consequences of what they're doing. The feds were the only person who did quantitative easing in 2008 and 2009. Only government, major government in the world. In fact, the Euro, Central Bank, who was there that time? Mario Draghi, I think. Draghi said, no, no, no, we are not going to engage in buying our own bonds and this and that, that is very immoral and unethical. And he gave his own, all kinds of objectives to describe that process. Hey, guess what happened in 2011 when they got hit by the Greek and all the other, the pigs or whatever they were. Immediately Draghi, 85 billion a month printing money. And then after that, after Draghi, now it's gone everywhere. I mean, UK, anybody who wants to, who's facing some problem is now printing it. So, which means inflation levels at some point has to go up. It's already up. They're again, putting things into the inflation basket, taking things out. It's all just manipulation. But you have to look below the real numbers. You have to look deep below the real numbers to do that. And I don't do that much, but when a certain headline catches my eye, I read it. And that, it'll tell me, it tells me the story. So, on average, I may read two such articles a day, but that's it. But it's good to have your pulse at that level, at a very low level. Like things like how is participation, labor participation rates impacting the US economy? How is obviously the value jobs, where are the value jobs going? What jobs are we creating? Is it value jobs or low value jobs? So, these are things that have a very subtle but critical impact on the economy. And of course, financial markets seem to be living in their own world, and like they always do, and they must come down at some point. Even the SMP, right? I mean, it's a 22 what, 85 or whatever it is. That's a crazy level for not so good news, that we can all feel and perceive. I mean, I don't know about any of you, but I don't think things are right. I mean, there is problems deep, deep under, there is problems. And at some point, like your, what is it old faithful or whatever in Yellowstone, it's going to come out. It has to come out. All right, let's move on. So then, okay, now that we set this backdrop, now you can think about your strategies that you would want to deploy in 2017, because now you're not clear. Now you at least have a starting point for analysis, and that's exactly what it is. Just like I have a starting point here, there will be a million other starting points, infinite amount actually. But it doesn't mean that all those parts are going to be satisfied. I can guarantee you none of them will be satisfied in whole 100%. So, but we have to plan for all these things. So now given that that is the scenario here, we don't know if there's going to be gloom and doom. We don't know if there's going to be a crash, but at the same time, we can see some very powerful forces lining up and sort of converging, like a hurricane or a storm has at least 25 different parameters that all have to come together in timing as well as intensity and all those things. And so that kind of this magic component is not there yet, but we don't know. We just have to be vigilant and make sure that we can recognize the signs of that kind of uncertainty when it's actually beginning to play out. So, given that in mind, now let's look at our own individual. In fact, I think 2017 is really a year where normal people who have families, who have working jobs and everybody including me, including you guys, we all need to really take our approaches, take our thinking to three levels higher. We got to do it because there is a sense of urgency here now. Maybe it doesn't happen in 2017. Maybe it happened in 2018. Who knows what is going to happen for sure. I mean, there is a price to pay for all this nonsense. Just the financial nonsense. So, we got to prepare for it. So, and I think this January of 2017 is just the right time to start doing that. All right. So, let's talk about how we are going to deal with this thing. And I have my slides all messed up here. So, how we deal with this? Yeah, okay. All right, is that good? A little bit more. Okay, that's good. All right. So, how do we deal with this thing is, I've written a structural approach to adjustment, but it's not just adjustments. It's how you enter the trades. What is your premise? How long is your outlook? You have to think now much more deeply, much more carefully about all these different issues. So, it's not going to be a very simple year. And even though the Wix may think that there's no volatility, there's no fear, there's that, we are going to see some crazy ups and downs in the market. So, there's no question. I mean, every small event after Trump gets into office, any small ruffling of feathers is going to create an impact. I feel. So, then what do we do? We have to look at this kind of a scenario and say, okay, what can we do in this market? First of all, I can tell you one, the first thing that comes to my mind, unfortunately, we don't have the chat because I would love to have your opinions on what is the first thing that you need to do when you're looking at this kind of a scenario. It's not like you're believing in the scenario. No, but what you have to do is be vigilant and careful not to expose yourself too much to one direction because it can turn around. That's all I'm saying. The first thing you would do is you would reduce your time frames for any trade, okay, any trade. Don't put like a six month option trade. No way. There's no way because during that six months, your position could take a, you know, a huge loss with paper at that time, but it doesn't take much for paper to become real. So, definitely look at shorter time frames. Get into the deep internals of the market. This is the key guys, okay. You've got to get into a deep study of market internals. You've got to find a methodology to, you know, derive meaningful information from what the markets overall are saying. So, what I'm saying is, you know, I think I do need to open up things, think or swim. So, what I'm saying is look at the indices themselves and are there ways you can look at them and say, hey, you know, yeah, I want to look at the internals and I will, you know, I should be able to get something out of it. So, let's go take a look at my think or swim. I'll take a little time to start because of all the stuff going on, but that's okay. Applications. I have a little suggestion in the meantime. Please mute, guys, whoever that is. Please mute yourself. Okay, you can hear me. All right. So, my think or swim, where is my think or swim? It's not in the desktop. Guys, a little suggestion in the meantime because our chat is not working. Okay. Because our chat is not working. Mike is on and I'm sorry, it's my fault for now. Well, you know, go to, I cannot do anything about software not working properly. But let me see where you guys are. And yeah. Okay. Who is it now? And why is it limited to 51? I don't get it. Harry, it's David. Can you hear me? Yeah. So, I have a little suggestion because the chat is not working. What people can do in the meantime is go to our Facebook page, facebook.com slash options. I can hear you speak, but I can't exactly get what you're speaking. This is a technology problem. I mean, unfortunately. So anyway, let's, you know, I think just move on and see what we can do as best as we can. So I'll leave think or swim out of it for now. I don't want to start another huge program because think or swim is very memory intensive and can simply just bring everything down. So, okay, let's move on. And what we're saying is, you know, basically there's vigilance. And yeah, what I wanted to show actually was a scenario of looking at various market internals and trying to judge day by day, day by day, you know, a strength building up is their momentum building up to upside, downside doesn't matter. Okay. So these are all things that we've over the last year or year and a half, through these trade or max sessions, we've been able to sort of go down this path and get very meaningful information. Okay. So we have a, you know, I have a very strong basis for looking at the markets. I mean, we are looking at the market internals and deciphering whether it's bullish, bearish, neutral, whatever it might be. And of course, it's not going to be in that state for very long. Okay. I mean, you know, we're not talking because every day is a different day in the markets.  Okay. So sentiments, if any are going to be short term, and that's why you need to reduce your trade timeframe also accordingly. So now let's see, now that we can't open Tinko Swim, which I find very ridiculous. Why is it not here? Okay, let's start with the basics and say we want to look for Tinko Swim. And we'll, we'll continue. I mean, we're not going to wait for this, but you know, we'll find it.  So anyway, I think I have the installer here. So that's fine. So we can do that. And let's see. It may tell me that it's already installed. We'll see. Okay. So let's move on. And whenever this thing comes up, we'll take a look at some of those things. So we have, okay. So these are some of the things that we have to do. And we need a better indicator than the VIX to indicate risk. It makes no sense to call it a volatile, that's the problem I have with it. You cannot call it a volatility index when one side is not even being considered at all. That's just ludicrous. Anyway, so these are all the issues going on. So we have this. Now, what I'm going to do is we have to jump into how is option tiger first of all, because we're calling this option tiger 2.0 and we really mean it. So what is it that we are going to do this year that can, you know, give that sense of, you know, response to that sense of urgency that we may feel and make good, you know, make good. We got to make good, because, you know, once this thing starts going out of control, if at all it does, then it's too late. Then it's too late. So we got to plan for it right now. Okay. So I think the next one would be option tiger plans. And here we go. All right. So that can be, that is visible by on, I mean, all the information is visible. And again, now in this webinar, I'm talking from a 10,000 foot. Okay. There are details to each one of these points on all the slides that I'm not going to get into on this webinar, because we are talking about a high level understanding and strategy or approach or method or whatever we want to call it.  And, you know, if something changes your opinion, you got to change. Okay. You cannot be stubborn with your, you know, with your belief or whatever it is. If you see signs, if you see signals that are telling you, hey, things are changing around. And if you can feel it in the general market, you know, you got to change. So and that's why I say, keep it nimble, keep it very, you know, it doesn't have to be small, but it has to be shorter time frames. Okay. Literally shorter time frames. You don't take at least in options in stocks, okay, you can do whatever you want, because stocks don't have time decay. Unfortunately, options do. And so, you know, at these low levels of VIX, you're not going to get any premium. That's nothing. So it's not worth going into credit trades. You only do debit trades. And in debit trades, we face, obviously, time decay. Okay. So when I say get engaged again, after almost a year, I've had a lot of things happen in my, on the personal side. And so, I've been sort of completely out of it.  So I'll tell you about those, those are really cool. And I have yet to do a sort of overall comprehensive summary video of TraderMax of November, but we have all those metrics from April. And even in these metrics, so I'll tell you the numbers. In April, we did, I think, 42% return that month, over about 25 trades, I would say. So we always assume that we have 100,000, right in the middle of the road there. And with the 100,000, how much can you make? And so I think in April, it was pretty good. It was pretty good. It was 40%. I mean, that's crazy. And that too, within our capital allocation strategy, we never deploy more than 65, 70% of the capital. Okay, you need that balance 30% for extreme scenarios, flash crash, and you know, things like that. Although they might happen very rarely, you have to provide for that. So you can never be using 100% of your capital at any time. So basically, it's like, you know, 40% or whatever on 70% of the capital. So it's like a 50% return or more. But let's not forget about, I mean, let's not talk about all that. I can show that later. So this year, what we're going to do is, you know, gotta be engaged. And so what I mean is, you're going to find a lot more interactivity from me. And now that I have some people who are also supporting me, then, you know, I can like, for example, I don't have to worry too much about my marketing, but David's around.   And that's all I want. And we may add one or two more to the team as well.  And now, you know, at least me, since I'm looking at the indices and, you know, the development, and most importantly, you know, everything that goes on in the geopolitical circles, because that's really, I think the bear, if at all, a breakdown type catalyst comes, it's going to come from the geopolitical area much more so than any other, I think. So anyway, so that means what? Now, we've got to focus on accelerated learning models. Okay, for all of us, for you, me, everybody, okay, we've got to focus on the word fast. Why? Let's say it's not six months or eight months or even 12 months, you know, if things start going downhill, this time is going to be different. Okay, simply because the numbers are just mind boggling. I mean, there's no country on the, you know, on earth that can support these kinds of losses anymore. Yes, that big one in 2008, there was the feds who came and backstopped everything pretty much, including foreign banks for that matter. But today, they cannot do it, the feds are not good. Well, the system will break down if the people don't trust the Fed. Okay, so today, the Fed cannot even enter the market if such a scenario exists. Because that's the only way it's going to go down, because if the US continues to receive funds from the rest of the world, the chances of things going really bad are much, much lower. So, you know, we'll see about all that. You know, these are things that you just have to keep in mind, that's all not over-processed. Okay, so but regardless, when we know that maybe the writing has started, you know, appearing on the wall, perhaps we should take some pre, you know, what do you call that, preactive, slipping the word now, but basically proactive, basically proactive, you know, action, we got to take that. So, these are some things that I'm going to be thinking of and doing. And we will, we will try to get, and I'm not just talking about me, okay, I want everyone, all of you to come join this because I sense a sense of urgency. If it doesn't happen, hey, great. Okay. But if it does, we want to be prepared. So, from my side, what I'm going to do is, like I said, I'm totally involved back again, you know, things are much more stable on my, on my personal side of things. So, we'll get back into the markets, we'll, I'll come, I'll be coming up with new innovative concepts where we all can learn. I do want to make a good interactive bustling community from Option Tiger, which has been missing for the last year or year and a half, okay. It was there when I first started, when I first started, it was amazing, you know, when Option Tiger first started, that is. So, I want to get back there and even further, okay.   But, you know, perhaps, you know, one hour of live market analysis, basically after the market opens or, you know, the next day or two, we'll do a closing market, whatever. I mean, I've got some thinking to do behind this, me and David will sort that out. But trading rooms, webinars, you know, topic of the moment kind of issues, you know, we'll present it.  And I also want to involve the larger community of Option Tiger in how you or someone, you know, at your end can participate and we play this thing as a team. And obviously, if you're participating, you are entitled to receive some compensation and we'll make sure that it's pretty liberal. Okay, so these are things that those are, you know, we don't have a clear strategy yet for that. But for the others, we do. So starting February, we are going to go down this path and take a new Option Tiger 2.0 approach to options and the markets. Okay, so we are ready. And we want you to join us. We'd love for you to join us because I think it will, this is all about speeding up your learning curve, guys. Okay, that is at the end of the day, options take one to two to three years, you know, depending on how much time you have to spend on it. So we want to speed that up as much as we can, because I think everybody needs to be sort of in sync with this scenario just because it doesn't play out in the next six months or the next 12 months, that doesn't mean it's not going to play out ever. It is at some point, we do have to pay the price.  It's not asymmetrical. At some point, when things get excessive, it crumbles. Okay, so and we've been excessive for a long time now in many of the financial ways. But now this whole geopolitical thing has just entered. Entered in the last six months, I would say. Okay, let's move on. So with that, then what we are going to do is now go over the website and frankly, oh, I forgot this, I should have done this at the beginning itself. Sincere apologies for not being that much in touch, but you know, if you actually many of you know, we've become friends and we've spoken a lot to many of the Option Tiger members. And they know some of the personal issues that, you know, was there last year. So going forward, you know, it is going to be much more engaged. And so, you know, that is one thing. And now we're really coming out with models, new models, innovative models that can speed up this thing. So we can, you know, start getting our money back.   So that's the focus. Okay. So now we want to go over to the website, because I want to show you, let me go through this also while we are at it. Actually, that's a later one. Okay, let's go to the website. And I'll show you what, you know, what we are up to. So here, by press home. And you will come to this beautiful looking website, isn't it? So, well, David's created not mine. Okay, so, you know, this is cool. I just quickly run through the different things that we have. We obviously have a cutting edge blog, which I have not contributed to in the last few months. Okay, but that's going to change, of course, but I write all the articles, I have over 250 blog posts here. Okay. So a lot of information right here, you can click the main categories or the subcategories and you'll get to the post. Next, what we have is, you know, videos. So if you don't know, I have over 500 videos on my YouTube channel. Okay. And they all are pretty much free except for a very small percentage. So they're all free. Take advantage of this, subscribe to YouTube.  I mean, this thing is supposed to scroll, I think, which it might at some point. But besides, you know, if you just go to my YouTube channel, you'll see that, you know, that's what it is. So let me just quickly show you. Yeah, what's the videos? What are the videos? Okay. Doesn't show a number. Videos, channels, about. That's surprising. That is very surprising. Should throw out that number right away. But see, they are also changing things. Everybody's in change mode. So God knows how they're really thinking. But if you do the load mode, you can keep going down about, you know, 50 pages, I think, at least. And these are all free guys. Okay. Take advantage of it. Now, let's go back to our website.   And don't even look at them because it's not going to make any sense to you. You start at the right level.  Otherwise, all you're going to do is get confused. Okay. So pick the right level, even if you want all three right now, just email us, we'll give it to you. But pick your right level. That is important. Next, got two free eBooks here. I think you've may have taken a look at it. You can do that. Webinars, we are going to post our past webinar recordings as well as, I think the past is already there in upcoming webinars, whatever we are going to do, we're going to, you know, put it out there. Okay. So there is, there is past webinars, you know, I mean, not past webinars. Yeah, past webinars are there. And I think it's trying to do that same pulling from the YouTube. That's why it's taking a little time. So we move on. Next, the products, which are the most important thing, we've laid out products, you know, two months ago, I had like 75 products on my site and people are just going crazy with confusion as to like, what is going on here? What, you know, what should we buy first? What should we buy next and all of that? So basically, we've we've put together all the material that belongs in beginners so that, you know, it's a big bundle, like the beginners is going to be like 18 courses or something. And so you're looking at like 20 hours of video. Okay. I mean, it's not a simple thing. And so, yeah, you're looking at and you're going to see completely different look and feel for the website, more precise, you know, concise, but detailed information as well. Yeah. This one has like, you know, 18 courses in it, 18 of the previous model courses. So which means like, you know, each one is like an hour and an hour to an hour and a half. So you're looking at serious material in each of these things. Okay. So then you have intermediate, you have advanced, you have options mass, which basically are the max systems. So again, we wanted to just separate those out from the rest because it is a truly different level altogether. And of course, now the TraderMax, that is a completely different level. Okay. Now this is where, here, I need to show you guys this email from last, just from last, just from last TraderMax, which was when November. So just, just gone by. Okay. So, or maybe it's here under this, not sure. Let's see. Okay. No, it's not here, but it's got to be there somewhere, or I'll just pick it up in a bit. But, you know, this TraderMax was absolutely unbelievable this time. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Why? You know, you're supposed to win eight trades out of 10, but every trade that we put went the other way just after we put it.  Okay. So that's how it was. And so this time was a very difficult session. We had to turn around all kinds of trades. Okay. And I have to show you this email. Otherwise, you won't understand the gravity of this. Let's see. Mark, let's go back to. Oh, Mark, right here. Okay. Let's open that. Oh my God. I mean, this is his email, you know, except for crossing out his personal information, this, this is it as is. So now let's get it out here. Okay. I've just cut out his more personal information last name and what do you call his email and all of that. Okay. But you gotta, you know, let's spend a minute over here and just, just read this. And I'm going to get a glass of water and I will tell you, I mean, this is after one week of TraderMax. Okay. One week. So we started, I think October 31st. And this email was when? Anyway, he says it also, it's in the first week.  And believe it or not, even after such bad starts with all these trades, I think we lost out, lost out only on like, three trades maybe, okay, out of like 20 or something. And this time we made close to, I would say like 27,000 on the 100. So about 27%. So not as, not as great as, you know, last time, but you know, you're never going to keep going up and up and up. Okay. I mean, you're going to have this kind of volatility in performance, but hey, 27% a month is nothing to sneeze at. Okay. So anyway, I'll let you guys read this for just a minute. I'm going to just pick up a cold glass of water and I will be right back. Is this that one? Oh my God, this is not the one. This is not TraderMax. Oh, it is TraderMax. Okay. So I think this is just an overall general testimonial. I think now this is the funniest part. I intend to write a full blown review. As if this is not a full blown review. That's funny. So anyway, let me, let me be back in just a second. There's another email actually. This is not the email. Guys and while Harry is away, I just want to encourage you to post any questions that you have on our Facebook page. It is facebook.com slash option tiger trading. And we will look at them at the end and answer any questions that you guys have. Okay. I'm back. All right. So, you know, you get the picture that, you know, you know, how it was, but the TraderMax is particularly important because it is TraderMax and, you know, how people are benefiting from that. You're basically getting a year's worth of learning curve in pretty much in four weeks. Okay. So that's how fast you're going to move with TraderMax. And by the end, if not, I'll, you know, when I send the recording out, I will send the, you know, attachment there. Let's move on. So what we have now is I'm going to be showing you the option tiger specials. Okay. So we have, for example, and I must point out this pricing has always been a challenge. Pricing is a challenge for any startup, any company until they get their appropriate feedback from customers, from visitors, who buys, who doesn't buy, you know, what is the critical pricing point? You have to figure this out. You know, no company can say, okay, I am going to price it at this and this is going to be the perfect level. No chance. I mean startups have to experiment with that. Why I say this is before when, you know, when I first started option tiger in say 2012 and 13, some of these max systems were being sold at 999. Certainly the TraderMax type thing was being sold at 3497. Okay. 3497. So what I'm saying is first, we, you know, I believe my products are high end. Okay. It's difficult for people to get this kind of detailed quality in some structure and things like that in the options market. So I priced it high. I actually made a lot of sales that time. But then I was thinking, okay, what if we reduce the price and you know, pull in more demand, right? So I reduce the prices and actually my performance went, you know, the performance went down, frankly, to be honest. And so what was happening just to share a bit of insight from my side of things is, you know, when you price high, people believe it's a high value product. Okay.  And if you don't deliver, then you're finished. But in our case, we delivered. So when the prices came down, they're like, oh, okay, saying it's all good at good. I mean, why is he selling it for 99 bucks? So it erodes brand value. It erodes the strength of your product. So, you know, David's been working with David, his company and his partners have been working with us for the last, you know, at least about four months now. And so, you know, it's a strategic decision. And so what we did, we didn't increase it. We've not increased it by any significant amount. It's just a few because we need to come back to that not price level for the sake of prices, but that level of quality that people will perceive in the product. Okay. So we have increased prices from whenever the new site was launched a couple of weeks back. And we're going to stick with that. Okay.  I'll be honest. Okay.  They're like, hurry, what the hell, man? We paid, you know, 1900 for two max systems. And now it's going for whatever, you know, 800 or 900. So I stepped on the feet of those old customers. Now, I also told them, whenever I create new products, I'll give you free copies because I need to make it up to them. And I will. The thing is, I will have time to make any product for at least one and a half years now. Regardless, let's move on. So what I'm saying is, if we go to the website now and you will see, you know, I think everybody's been used to me giving these ridiculous discounts, 70%, 75% and all. But I'm just going to be honest with you, that is not going to happen anymore. But we don't want to make a clean break like that, where people don't have an opportunity to still enjoy my prices rather than pay David's prices. Okay.  So I have convinced him that we've got to give our existing members, you know, one more chance. Let's do it. So that's where we are today. And I am going to go to the new year specials, which is a different link. Wow, that's great, isn't it? Cool. Okay, let me, let me see what I can do. There we go. So this is the sales page. You can see it over here, option tiger.com slash option tiger new year. Okay, got it. All right. So this is the specials. Before we show the specials, I actually wanted to create this as a video, but I think this webinar format is much, much better. So I'm going to post the recording of tonight's webinar on to this placeholder here. Okay. So here, the first thing is, you know, we want to reinvent not just for the sake of reinventing because we think the market is also going to reinvent in many ways. Okay. So that's why we're following that path. And timing wise, it just coincided that option tiger needed to reinvent anyway. So this video, this recording will be here by tomorrow morning. So I'll have updated that. Now, you know, just some brief, you know, bits and pieces here, we all know this. Okay. So we just need to be prepared. It doesn't mean it's going to happen. There's no panic, there's no fear, no greed. And we know that there's nothing to be scared of because we deal in options. We don't care which way, I mean, for strictly from a profit standpoint, not from a hardship standpoint around the world, we don't care if it goes up or down. We take equal advantage of both sides. In fact, because of the rise in volatility, when you go down, we actually benefit more from the markets going down. Okay. We just have to be nimble enough to recognize temporary patterns. It's all going to be about temporary patterns. No long-term trend will come in unless Putin and Trump and who's the guy in China, I don't even know. If those three sit in a happy hour and get drunk together, other than that, I don't see any possibility of that. But if there is, if these three countries can find some sort of stability, just in the minds of people, I think a transformational opportunity may emerge to the upside. Like I said, why or why not agree or disagree? It doesn't matter because nobody knows for 100%. But we have to start thinking about it. We have to start talking about it because important players in the financial markets have already started doing this. Okay. So let's move on now. Some things get more interesting here. We're just saying, these are the specials here. Now, these prices will be very familiar to you because I've been giving out for a long time.  I'm just telling you the truth. It's not going to come to this prices. So here we are, options beginner, intermediate, advanced. These are regularly 497 and 597, 399, whatever. It's all between 149 and 187. And if you recall the whole, the entire bundle, all the stuff, all 47 courses, usually it's 1299 or less price. It's going for 499. It's all on. This deal is on right now. Now, because of these transition effects, one for our website and two for Teachable itself, they are also going through their growth pains. And therefore, there's a little bit of issues that are not completely working. But all of you have always done this. If there is any problem, you used to send it to my personal email, you used to go to PayPal and send it to my personal email. You don't need to do that anymore. You can just send it to info at optiontiger.com and that will be an official payment.  If it's a mistake, don't worry. Just, you know, if you paid more, I'll give you the refund. We'll give you the refund. If you paid less, you know, I'll ask it. I'll ask for you. Okay. It's just that simple. But because, you know, just for another month or so, I think this will be a, if you're buying multiple products only, if you're just going to buy one product, go right ahead. So there are ways to deal, there are ways to work around this, which is instead of making one transaction, you make four transactions, you have to sit through, spend five or 10 minutes and, you know, that's about it. But you will get instant access if you take one product at a time. We don't have the cart feature synced up yet properly yet. Okay. So if you were to do the total, you would calculate the total, which all of you have been doing for at least a year or more. And you apply a full discount. Okay. Whatever discount is there, you, and like I said, if there's a mistake, we'll fix it. Go to PayPal, put in our email, put in the amount and boom. Now, because it's a multiple product, we don't know which one it is, and perhaps you will see a note somewhere, okay, where you can specify what are the products that you want. So I believe there's one in PayPal as well. And there may be one at checkout too. So you might have two chances to provide that input. And if you do provide that input, we'll get going right away with the access. But it might still take 24 hours because it's manual. It's not automatic. And that's only for a month. Okay. That's it. The option tiger express is leaving. And what I mean by that is, you know, we are going on to the phase two, okay, we are going on to 2.0. So we're not going to come back here. And, you know, so David and his team are maintaining a strict control on pricing, which I agree with in principle, I agree with that because, you know, these are high end products. There's no question. So we'll still be very reasonable in the market. I think who was that who paid like $22,000 for either share it and invest tools by a merit rate, I think somebody, there's a couple of emails floating around on that. But regardless, you can, if you see our regular product pricing, and let's go to obviously one of the higher ones, you'll see condo max is going to be like what 697. Yeah, that's the pricing. That's normal. And going forward, you're not going to see more than 20% off, 25% off. I'm just being honest, guys. I'm just being honest. If you want to pick things up, this is the time. And, you know, it's not like we're greedy or anything. No, the value of the product is such. Then we also have, again, as you can call it an early bird trader max deal, okay, because this thing also trader max is 2497. It includes one max system, but it's 2497. So that's why I want to show that max email because it's a costly product. I have no question, but if you see the value that you get out of it, it's actually 10 times what you pay for it. Because we all know, let's face it, okay, we all know it is so easy to lose 2500 bucks in one trade in one day. All right, let's face it. If you may not be having that kind of an account size, that's okay. But proportionately, you will see.  So you have to build your capability first, and then you've got to go in 100%. One mistake can cost you a lot. So think about these prices from that context and that perspective is like, no, what do you lose on an average trade when you lose? Okay, compared to that, this is nothing. And you're getting value here. Now you're really picking up some deep knowledge and methods and approaches and things like that. And this is all your life, right? I mean, because options are not going to change. It's fundamental, foundation is in math. Why would the math change? Nothing. It's not going to change. If it changes, then those two guys who got no bells, we have to pull it back from them because their model is flawed or their formulas are flawed. So as of now, the probability of that happening is pretty much close to zero. So it's not going to change people. This is like profound. I'm telling you, this is the one reason that I got into options. Of course, I love math and I love this kind of thinking. But once you realize that you can be 75 years old, sitting on some island somewhere, enjoying life, and when the US market turns on, boom, you turn on. And if you do it well, obviously, you can have a few hundred dollars, few thousand dollars going in on a weekly basis, daily basis, who knows? It all depends on your account size and the kind of trading that you do. But the point is, this is your vehicle for true lifelong independence in terms of both financial and in terms of your life itself. Geography, weather, none of these are factors anymore. Go and live in the best place in the world and you can still participate in this market. So think of it from that perspective. I can guarantee, and this is another thing that they're on our eudemy, which I want to show you next because this is where the reviews are. And if you see the reviews, it's just mind boggling. So how many reviews do I have? They used to say it at the top, but now they're saying it in the bottom. 2242, 2242 reviews of my courses here. And we have what? About 25,000 students here. You can see pretty much everything goes five-star, blah, blah, blah. Occasionally one guy will come and put a one-star because he's just pissed off, you didn't follow his or he sent me an email and we exchanged information. And I am not going to sugarcoat anything. It is what it is when I respond to these guys. And so there's examples of that as well. I'm not going to budge. You want to give me a one? Go ahead. Fine. So let's do just a little bit of analytics on this. So these are all courses, one-star, two-star. So 2200 in total. Now if I just put the five-star and the four-star, just the top, if I put the five-star and the four-star, guess how much that is. I'm sure you'll be not able to guess. 1962 out of 2200. That's 90%, 4 and 5. So that's the kind of information that you should go by. Udemy is great in that sense because you have a clear picture of which product is good and which product is not based upon totally unconnected reviews to the instructor and the instructor has no way to manipulate this. No chance. I mean, this is original social proof from other people like you who can get a good picture of what you can expect from these things. That's all. I just wanted to mention that. Now let's go back to our, I think we finished off on the specials and the reviews. And there was one or two things I wanted to cover. Yes, let me cover that first. Once again, we need to go to our... Okay. Please, I want you guys to just note this because it's not that it's something serious or anything, but in this country, we have to do this. And so I also have to do this. I've given a special disclaimer on this page. Please read it and make sure that you comply. I'm sure all of you will. There's no question because there's nothing sort of sinister or anything over here. It's just a plain stating of fact, which is whatever I say in this video or on this webinar is my opinion only. It's not being verified or corroborated by anyone else. And it is one starting point for analysis just like there can be an infinite number of starting points. Anything that impacts the financial markets, we need to look at it and we need to sort of analyze that. So anyone using this video or this webinar as a interpretation of my personal opinion in their trading and investing activities, I'm sorry, you're doing it on your own risk. By accessing this page itself, you are submitting to that and there's nothing illegal about that. All right, let's move on. I think there's only one or two subjects left in the presentation. And let's see if we have, I think Perciven is also not working, I think. So regardless, let's see. Goals and plans, yep. All right, so let me reduce that a little. So when we say the express is leaving, it's just we are going into a new phase and we want you to join us because this is a kick-ass phase to be honest with you. And this is where things are at. And how we are going to do that on a monthly subscription plan, what is involved, which trading room or whatever it is, that clarity will be coming in the next month to two months. And so by first quarter, we want to be ready with our, not just an overall strategy, but put things into action, put things into implementation and go in the direction that we want. So that will happen in the first couple of months. So this trade is leaving in that sense. So jump on board. Come on. Doesn't matter how early you are in this game. It's always better to be part of a group that is also going through this. And especially with options because some good clean information is just not available that freely. If it is available that freely, it's completely disjointed. I mean, yes, you might read one article or see one video which was brilliant. And I see those every day. But where is the continuity? I mean, you got a lead from one to the other. There's a reason why they have four years of college courses structured in the way they are because you need that order. Options are not simple. They are complicated stuff. So don't take anything for granted with options. I mean, that is my biggest advice because it's very true. I might sound like Donald Rumsfeld, but you don't know what you don't know. And what you don't know is going to hurt you at some point. And that hurt will be in thousands of dollars. I'm not just pulling this out of my hand. By the way, let me tell you, my first two years, I have lost a lot of money. It took me another two years just to sort of come back to sea level. So be careful with options. Don't take them for granted. Don't take them lightly. You need the education. It's not possible for someone to do two months of med school and practice medicine. It's not possible. And this is no different. I mean, from a deep technical academic challenge, it's the same thing. Options are very tough. And especially now you're dealing with real markets where there are real sharks, the money, the market makers, the platform guys, I mean, everybody's a shock in this. There's no, I mean, you're up against some serious people here in the options market specifically, as opposed to like the stock market because stock market is now almost 99% peer to peer. I mean, if you want to buy something, there is a seller, the middleman, the market maker doesn't take any risks. He just matches up this guy to that guy. And that's why they can do that business with 999 fixed flat commission because they're not taking any risk. But that's not the case in options. We are priced on a per contract basis. And there's a reason for that. It's because the market maker takes the risk on every contract that they trade. So for that kind of taking of risk, they need to see some reward. And how do they get the reward? They are given legally a lot of flexibility to set bid ask prices, the spread and calculate volatility. Now that is the clincher. Because if you change volatility by 1% in your calculations, that could be a difference of a few thousand dollars. Volatility is like unbelievably important to option prices. And the fact that it is actually not tangible, it's not clearly visible, makes it even more tough to play the volatility game. I think we all know that. So basically, get onto a plan, get onto a method, get onto a system. Systematic approach is the only thing that will work in the options market. So we are leaving. We want all of you to join us if you can. So one last time, we are discounting the product prices. And after that, you won't see those prices. You will definitely see some discounts every now and then. But the plan is not to devalue the product. The plan is not to devalue the high quality that is going into all these products. So with that said, I do want to and yeah, please, this is one thing. If you want to be an expert in this market, you got to give yourself one to two years. Absolutely. And you got to commit to it. So which means if you say, you go look at it for 10 hours a week, you're going to study it 10 hours a week, you got to do it. And one week you don't do it, you got to catch up. That's the commitment that's required from your side. If you don't keep up, then no amount of these, I mean, of course, they'll be helpful. And I'm fully aware that, you know, most of you have other jobs and you're not dealing solely with the markets. Okay, I'm fully sympathetic to that. And, and therefore your speed is going to get slowed down. And therefore, I put more people in the two to three year range than the one to two years just because of that fact. So given that and given that you don't have time, you know, something like this is going to make real sense to you. So we'll do that. We'll do it. As I said, you'll continue to start to receive, I mean, you'll continue to see emails from us. David will also be engaging in some conversations with all our community. But we are truly ready to take this thing three levels higher. And Option Tiger is the horse that you should bet to. Okay, great guys. Unfortunately, I cannot see your questions.  I don't believe it. If you don't mind, if you do have questions, absolutely just put them in a bullet point order in and send me an email, send, you know, info at option tiger.com. Okay, I must have that slide at least. Okay, but it's your typical, you know, the thank you slide that you see everywhere. You all know the coordinate info at option tiger.com. You cannot go wrong. All right, folks, unfortunately, we can't have it more interactive than this. I'm really disappointed, but we'll do it the next time. Hopefully everything will be in full working order then. All right, so any questions info at option tiger.com. Thanks for stopping by. And this deal, these special prices are till this Sunday night. Okay, let me point that out Sunday night, midnight, Pacific time, not Eastern time Pacific time. So you get, you know, three hours more.  If your trade is not working properly, even though you've done it to the best of your ability, then there is some hidden factor that you don't know about. Okay, I guarantee you that that's the only way you learn. Now I learned all this by trial and error. I think I mentioned it many times. That trial and error is very expensive. Okay, very expensive. Don't go down that path. Don't think that spending $3,000 or $4,000 on a program like this is big money. No, it's not. I can guarantee you that for the value you get from this and the kind of guiding principles that you can follow from not just part of being a community, but also from my webinars and I'll be a lot more in interaction going forward. Okay, now that is worth a lot more money than $3,400 or $500 or $4,000. Okay, so think about it from that perspective guys and take your actions. If you have any questions, send me an email. I will speak to everybody soon. Thank you very much for all the support over the years and the trust that you've placed. I couldn't have done this without that. Okay, good night folks. I'll speak to you soon. Bye.


When you are performing a header, it's extremely important that you keep your eyes on the ball. Most players close their eyes and hope the ball hits them, rather than focusing on exactly where they want to meet the ball with their head. It's near impossible to keep your eyes open at the point of contact, but do your best to focus on the ball until it meets your head. Make contact with your forehead, not the top of your head and definitely not on your nose. You want the ball to come flush off the center of your forehead. To produce power, you need to engage your whole body. An athletic stance and slight bend in your knees will allow you to have more balance and generate power, but the real power comes from using your total upper body. Bend your body back and then forward through the ball. You are not just using your head and neck muscles to create power, you are using your whole upper body, snapping back and forward through the ball. To produce accuracy, you need to guide the ball with your follow through. Push the ball towards your target with your head and upper body. This is another reason it's so important to keep your eyes open when performing headers. Jumping headers follow the same principles. Keep your eyes on the ball, make contact with your forehead, snap your body back and through the ball, push the ball towards your target with your follow through. Jumping headers are all about timing. You want to attack the ball and meet it at your highest point. If your timing is off, you'll either catch the ball too low or too high and you won't be able to direct the ball where you want it to go. Focus on your footwork. You want to be moving towards the ball rather than jumping from a standstill. If you need to take one or two steps back, then a few quick steps forward as you leap in the air and attack the ball. Learning to read the flight of the ball takes practice, but after a while you will understand when to start your jump. Just think about attacking the ball rather than letting it come to you and jumping forward if possible, meeting the ball in the air at your highest point. If you're performing a defensive header, especially in your own defensive third, you just want to think about getting that ball as far and as wide as possible. You don't want to clear it into the center of the field if possible, you want to get it wide. If you can hit a teammate, that's great, but really you're trying to clear your lines, get distance on the ball, get height on the ball and make sure that you get it out of trouble so your team can get out of the field. So if he's throwing me the ball, again, throw a little lower please. If you don't know about me, I used to be a huge underachiever, but through obsessive self-improvement, I found my success.

Well, hello my beautiful internet friends. I'm gonna do my best to get through this without crying, but I don't think that's gonna happen. So I have my Irish breakfast comfort tea, also my Ireland tourist comfort hoodie. Enough pointless rambling, it is the night before we leave to go back home and I have a tell if anyone wants to know. If I bite my lip like this, it means I'm definitely trying not to cry if you ever wanted to know. I have been blessed by so much and so I don't want to sound ungrateful by any of this. I don't want to go home and it's not like vacation was great, I don't want it to end kind of thing. I mean I've definitely experienced that before we all have. It's fun going and doing cool things, especially in a fricking fantastic country. Four days after I get home I will have surgery on now multiple issues because they've definitely gotten worse being here like the like the bursa which you guys know about which is like on the one side of my leg and then there's the osteocyte I guess which is on the other side but it's gotten significantly larger and almost matches the same size as the bursa and looks the same so I don't even know what's going on with it and they're gonna do surgery and they're gonna hopefully fix things but I'll tell you what, I really believe in the power of hope as I've said many times and how important it is. I have a tattoo down my body in many different forms but when you have the history over and over again that things don't work like the way that they're supposed to that surgeries don't go the way that they're supposed to that recovery never goes the way that it's supposed to that weird things always go wrong that weird things always happen that I am always kind of a not a medical mystery but just shit happens that's not that's not supposed to it's hard it's so hard to believe that things will go right and that this will go fine and oh it'll just be you know an easy surgery and I'll recover and in four to six weeks I'll get recast it for a prosthetic and it'll be good from there and I'll learn to walk and one day I'll be running all of that and in this moment I really I just really can't see that and being here I've gotten to do so much gotten to like walk a lot and hike and breathtaking sacred places and go on a boat ride and like gotten tastes of so many things but along with that comes the sting of all that I can't do and all the pain that those things cause like they always have because like my whole life has always been doing things even though they hurt because like you know I had a fused ankle from age 15 onward and it hurt but I still did things because I wanted to participate in life and I feel like I am cursed to live that same life forever I know I'm not I know I'm not cursed to that but like I said holding on to hope that somehow magically things will be different when my experience tells me the opposite is hard and leaves me feeling empty and like my wares have just been ripped out time for some comfort tea quick poll how many of you guys leave your tea bag in when you're drinking tea versus not my mom that was like her biggest pet peeve growing up but my dad always left his tea bag in and so I feel like I'm split on the issue debate in the comment section below I just feel like I've gotten punched by this wave of depression and I feel like like if I talk to people about it like my best friend Abby who's here understands she gets it and and Brian gets it like he really wants me to be hopeful but for the most part people don't understand that like if you have had 14 years of experience of things never going right for random reasons that don't make sense it's really hard to believe that they will go right but I feel like it's really important to believe that things will go well because like your mindset is so important in the healing process and so I already feel like I'm like failing by thinking that it's not gonna go well and maybe I'm just really tired from a lot of travel but I'm scared and I don't want to do this I told that to Brian today and he was like that's okay babe like let's just postpone it let's push it back and I was like I can't do that like I cannot sit here and have no forward movement at all anymore like I was supposed to be freaking hiking by now like flat surfaces but like for you know according to estimations I could have been like walking miles by this point I can do some things thanks to the amazing tools that I've been given but I can't stay stuck anymore I have to move forward and moving forward means having surgery so I have to do this I can't push it back and I so don't want to be here I so don't want to do this I just want to run away from it I just want to pretend like none of this is happening I want to pretend like like none of this happens sometimes I feel like I'm too scared to allow myself to even consider the possibility of regret because I've always said that I don't regret this decision that I made to amputate my leg and I honestly haven't but in moments like these a little bit of doubt does creep in and it's like hey maybe I could have been walking around Ireland yeah you know chomping on painkillers but that's what I was doing anyways so maybe it would have been better to say comfortable and safe in what I knew even though what I knew was real crappy even though what I knew didn't work even though what I knew was really painful and was not a life I wanted to live I know that wasn't the answer that wasn't the right answer I did the best thing that I could I'm glad I did it but I'm so connected to my body like I love moving I love movement and I'm also really connected to my body and that I feel it all the time because so much of it hurts and not being able to do things knowing that the future is so uncertain is driving me and saying I guess part of me is beginning to wonder if it's ever going to get better part of me is be is beginning to wonder if I will always be stuck in this cycle of always being in pain and always just making the best of it and barely getting by and I think I let myself believe that having my leg amputated was that was a doorway a terrifying scary difficult doorway to freedom of sorts with a caveat of it comes with a lot of complications but freedom in that I could really do things again and maybe without significant pain maybe with some discomfort or whatever but I'm beginning to wonder if that's really the case if that will never be true if this is how I am doomed to live forever and the rational side of my brain knows that that is not true and is actively working to bring me out of the sadness and the hopelessness and the depression and is telling me that like no it's it's going to be okay you have to keep holding on you have to keep moving forward like keep working the steps take control of what you can control and accept help so on and so forth like there's all that but then there's like the emotional part of my brain that is just sinking and kind of losing it right now because again it's really hard to have faith in a future that people are promising you that has always been promised but has also never been the case but now that that is out my head hurts less because I feel like I've been like keeping that in all day and now that I've spoken it out I'm going to try to sit without reality but also put it on a temporary shelf and enjoy my last night here in Dublin we're back in a lovely hotel in Dublin so we can catch our flight out in the morning and I think we're gonna go downtown don't want to see people I don't want to do anything but I'm also not going to waste my last night here by being worried about a hypothetical future so I'm gonna finish my tea and lay down grip my teeth and move forward thank you for listening it means more than you guys will ever know to me I know I say that a lot but I really mean it the fact that you would choose to spend many minutes listening to me talk about my fears about the future and being scared and and all of that and all the encouraging messages that you write me even though I don't get a chance to respond to every comment I read them and they make a difference they really do and I'm so grateful thank you thank you thank you thank you I will keep you guys updated I love you guys I'm thinking of you and I'll talk to you soon bye guys onward to victory


Check it out, those are some giant jalapenos. TikTok reached out to me and said, you haven't made a jalapeno popper video in over a year. I said, okay, let me make one. Here we go. Check out the cheese we're using instead of cream cheese. This is called Port Salute, and it's super creamy. Look at that. Step one, get your jalapenos ready. Now we got our jalapenos ready, let's fill them up. First thing I'm gonna do is dice up some pickles. Diced up into nice little pieces, just like that. Now we're gonna use this cheese that I've never used before. Let's see how it slices. Now we need Dano's Spicy, the red top, and roll them around and get them covered on all sides, just like that. All right, time to construct. We're gonna start out with just a little bit of mozzarella cheese in the bottom of the jalapeno. Grab you a small handful of pickles, lay that on top of your mozzarella, get that slice of cheese, put it right there on top. All right, now that we got our jalapenos filled up, it's time to wrap in bacon. But let me tell you guys something, that was by far and away the easiest process I've ever done in as far as filling the jalapenos, because that cheese was not cream cheese, so it was super easy. First thing I do with my bacon is give it a little stretch and then lay them out. Now we got our bacon laid out. We're gonna, of course, hit it with the Dano Spicy. That's the red top, because you can't ever have enough. And now we wrap.  We're just gonna slide it and make sure it punctures through the pepper, just like that. Now outside we go to our smoker. We got our grill set to 300. Now when we set them on, look. You can set it right there with the grates.  Make sure they don't tumble over. There you have it, 300 degrees. We'll let them go for probably a little over an hour. Exactly one hour, five minutes. Let's give them a try. Check this out. We're gonna pull our little toothpick out. We're gonna give this a try. Oh, wow. That cheese, totally different than cream cheese. That's amazing. You guys, that's an awesome jalapeño popper right there. Yum, yum, get you some. Leave a like, leave a comment. Hit that follow button. Let me know if you've ever tried a jalapeño popper like that. That was 100%, 10 out of 10, and I'd do it again. Yum, yum, get you some. We'll see you next time. Keep sprinkling.


I thought I was going to hear from you and I was going to call you yesterday and then I thought I'd call you Monday. I think that maybe your idea that you had last week was a good one. And the only thing on the approach of it, I had a chance to talk a little bit but not too much Wednesday night. And of course I kept saying what we all know that after all this is a selection made by the president. And when the time comes you make a selection and then I, you know, suggest some conversation. And I think as you mentioned last week the only thing is that I was wondering about the timing when you would do it. This is, I think, the vital importance of how you time it, whether you think it should be done the first of the week or whether you think it should be done the middle or the last, or whether you think there should be some preliminary conversation. And were you going to say very definitely that he was not in your scheme of thinking or were you going to tell him who it was, some of the things that turned me. I think that it's concerned you and that's what I was trying to do some thinking about over the weekend. How are you going to approach this on the basis of this scheme of things of the people you're thinking that you wanted him to know that he was being considered or not considered or what? I thought that I'd have to say that had been considered but I wouldn't recommend. Here's what I thought I would say. I watched this development at San Francisco and very carefully since then. And I see now that Mr. Wallace is out of the rays. There's a good deal of conversation about various people and some of the friends are getting active on the vice presidential question. And I think it's pretty basic that the president should have the person that he personally feels. The greatest rapport with and that he feels can be of the most value and that he feels he would like to have on the ticket. Now in the light of what has happened at San Francisco and their nomination and who they've selected their running mate and the fact that the Middle West is going to be a higher battleground and deal the fact to you in my cabinet and there's a good deal of activity on your behalf in some of these states. I thought I owed it to you to be frank with you and say to you that I don't think that this is the year for you to go to the number two spot and therefore I have concluded that I would not recommend that. I would be glad to have any of your views and carefully consider them on what you who you think might be and I'd like you to know that I think you have a future in the party and a bright one and I would be glad to seriously consider working with you and any particular assignment that would interest you and I think down the road that you would have a very good opportunity and very bright future and I would be inclined to help you with it as much as I could but I think that because you're in my cabinet because if I say nothing your people may misinterpret it that I think I ought to tell you now before we get divided and before you get up a lot of steam that I don't think in the light of their nominees and their platform and the thing that will confront the Democrats this year that this is your year for the number two spot. Well I think it's good but I'd also say that I've seen this with you know different people and you know also they have to just answer and do those things and be divided. I just stated what we're working for, what I've been working for is unity here and going into this Atlantic City Convention was the important and unathletic party not similar to what happened out in the West Coast but united 100 percent and this is what I'm working through in that way. I thought I owed it to you and friends and everyone else to talk to you this way so we wouldn't have any, we'd have to grade it as just one thing and this is a question of individuals more or less this is a question of the entire country in the world and what type of leadership you think that I think maybe you're right in doing it when would you do it next week? I thought so, I thought so. I was just kind of waiting I thought I might even do it today but I guess he's out of town I was just kind of waiting until I heard you all's conversation because I felt he'd raise the question with you and I wanted to kind of get you a reaction and I have talked to, I don't want to say this publicly but I have talked to myself or through my intermediaries there are 15 governors in the South and the border states without exception every one of them say that there would be no hope if we went his route that they just don't even look to them including my home state just say we can't care that we have great problems as it is and we just can't do it. Yesterday we had the Midwest governors in that included Wisconsin and Iowa and North Dakota and Minnesota and one of my assistants sat down and visited with them afterwards and there was not a single one that felt that I shouldn't have my own running mate and not a single one that advocated this his route Now Lawrence says that his people will be for whoever I want although they're starting a little rump movement up there with a disgruntled auto workers organization man who tried to throw Ruther out at the last convention and they're trying to get 100,000 signatures for the Kennedy name but Lawrence says that they pay no attention to him and he's an extremist but I think that's a bad thing to be starting and by your cabinet start doing it if one of your council starts doing that way to you that you take in on your ticket well pretty soon they can discredit you I think you're right there and what reaction did you get from him do you think that does he feel he ought to have it does he feel that he's entitled to it does he feel he wants to fight for it or what that's a lot I kept trying to pretending convention and probably long it's always been the decision of the president to select his running mate this is fundamentally why he was there well I said that way I think you should sit down and talk to him and try to know what he's thinking about I said I don't know he states himself and thinks over and listens to a lot of people would be made the same way it was made in 60 years made it for the age of long as I can go back and probably before that tradition and this is the position then there must be in the president did you leave the impression with him or make it clear that your group would be with the for the president selecting his man he knows that they keep putting out you know about all the northern leaders yeah I've seen a lot of things but actually and honestly and he understands this thoroughly and he's quite reconciled to the fact that the which is everyone knows you don't have to be told that after all it is it's a decision that the president makes itself I'm sure you've got a man not only the candidates but you've also got a man that's in the number two spot in your entire setup did he give you any indication that he knew of a friend of mine thank you he didn't say that he didn't say that he kept saying you know how everyone was depending upon some of the fellas that speak out including myself I said well after all you don't know what to think of and the thing like this it is any real understanding or experience in this deal this is a decision we all await the word of the president and after he said we hope that we will get a good man we hope and we all sigh we're asked to give whatever suggestions but I said after all this is something that the president doesn't sell and I said that's the way it should be thank you dick now two things I want to mention to you I got to these governors were inraising hell about everything going to the east and california I don't want to make that an issue of obvious reasons california is a pretty vital and big state and we don't want to we don't want to pick it anybody but I did ask McNamara to carry through on the whole area just as I did in your city and I had him come over and meet with him and ask him to set up a study group and let's try to have some presentations made to him and make them pretty conscious of the need of looking at every section of the country and using all of our resources that we'll need in case of an emergency so he's going to do that now and I think you ought to get your best planners and some of your industrial people your companies Motorola, General Electric, whoever's out there maybe get some of the biggest ones that have defense orders and have your planning group talk to them and have them kind of present some suggestions to him what they have available and what they could do and what feels they could do it and I'll have you come down here and see him at lunch or I'll have him come out there and see some of your people or I'll do any way you want to handle it very good and we appreciate it very much I do hope you'd consider putting Kerner on in a place of prominence in the National Convention especially when they gave so much kind of person we would be as though we were being ignored and if this is a difficult state Illinois then we're going to have to try to get Kerner on there and I wish to think about that and help us because it would be nice if he would play a prominent part that would help us that's good now the second thing I don't know what your plans are but I wish that you'd have your best man that has a problem with you with your young people and with your unemployed talk to Sriver well they've been down there and we're moving and all we need is the the world with all the good I'd like the day I sign the act and we'll have a fight in the house but we think we'll pass it next week there and we hope without going to a conference then I would like to sign it and the next day make a rather substantial allocation and three or four real difficult spots and I'd like one of them to be in Chicago and I think that you could attach yourself pretty well to your great interest in young people and I'd look at the number of young ones that would be eligible for this that are unemployed there and I'd have my people a welfare whoever does it to contact Sriver's people and say now we want to be the first in the United States and we want a substantial camps and substantial work projects and so forth and then we ought to try to at least get a lot of stuff going I think this would be wonderful and we'd like to work 100% well you get your man and handles the young people I just want to say that the daily family watched you yesterday we thought it was excellent well thank you you handled yourself it was just marvelous every bit of a great president and our leader we really enjoyed and appreciated well you're wonderful Mr.Rabin's gone now I hope I don't get to worry out okay I'm sure this will do a great job I'll I'll try okay
